Yay! I've finally decided to update. I want to thank everyone who has reviewed, they mean a lot to me and put me in a good mood. In this chapter, you will finally get to see what the mysterious 'Plan B' is! So anyway, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I still own nothing.

The next morning…

"Okay you two, wake up! *Cough*." Izumi demanded as she nudged the two brothers awake.

Ed sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Are you feeling better today, Teacher?" he yawned.

"More or less. Now get u- *Bleh*!" Izumi gagged, spiting up a large pool of blood.

The Elrics jumped out of bed quickly to aid their teacher. Izumi growled with frustration.

"I thought the medication would work!" Ed said as he helped his teacher stay on her feet.

Izumi sighed. "They're temporary. I thought that old hag would have told you two at least that much."

"We really didn't ask." Al confessed.

Izumi shrugged the both of them off. She didn't like the fact that her own two students had to help her stand. It was pathetic and humiliating.

"Well, are you still able to teach us some more alchemy today?" Ed asked in a oddly polite tone.

Izumi turned around and stared at him. He sounded like he was up to something. "No, the strain would be too much for me right now. Why do you even care? I thought you only wanted to learn hand-to-hand combat."

"W-well you can never learn enough alchemy, I always say." Ed grinned. "Still, could you at least let me read one of your alchemy books in your room? It would really mean a lot to me."

Izumi glared at him for a second and sighed. "Fine, I guess it wont hurt."

They walked down the hallway to Izumi's room. Izumi was still struggling to walk and was helped by the two Elrics from time to time. When they reached the doorway, Izumi motioned for them to stay, and walked to a small book case in the corner of the room. Both brothers stood outside the room. Both brothers stood outside the room waiting quietly.

"Bingo!" Ed shouted and shut the door to their teacher's room.

"BROTHER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Al shouted.

"Phase two! Operation: Payback (Elric Style)! A.K.A: The part we could get killed for)."

"Edward, you little bastard! Open the damn door!" Izumi shouted from the other side.

"S-sorry Teacher, no-can-do!" Ed laughed as he struggled to keep the door shut.

"Brother what's the meaning of this!" Al panicked.

"T-Teacher's going to have to learn who's in charge here. So, until she get better, I'm not letting her out." Ed explained. "Now, hold this for me!"

Alphonse took Ed's place and tried his best to keep it shut. Ed clapped his hands to together ad locked the door with alchemy.

"There, job well done!" Ed smiled.

"When I get out of here, you are so dead!" Izumi shouted out. Ed and Al could here her struggling to turn the door knob. Just then, Mason came rushing up the stairs from the shop.

"What going on here?" He asked, puzzled.

"B-Brother's trying to get us killed!" Al shouted.

Mason looked at both brothers with confusion, then at the lock door behind them. His eyes got bigger. "Oh…no…"

"Brother, let her out of there!" Al demanded.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Mason warned.

"W-what do you mean!" Al asked.

"If she gets out, you two wont exist." Mason explained. "She'll destroy you. So just back away… slowly."

"Is that you Mason?" Izumi called out from the other side of the door.

"Uh-um, yes, yes it is." Mason stuttered.

"Open the God damn door!" Izumi shouted.

"Don't do it Mason!" Ed warned. "If you do then she'll kill youand us."

Mason nodded in agreement. "All we can do now, is wait…"

Hours went by as the trio sat at the kitchen table. It was evening now, and the house was dead quiet. They all prayed that Izumi didn't get enough strength back to manage to open the door with alchemy. Al was mumbling to himself about how if they all get out of Dublith alive, he would never ask for another kitty again (yeah, like that'll ever happen). Ed sighed, what if she did get out? She couldn't stay in there forever and who knows how long it would take for her to get better. He prayed that she would forgive them and realize that they only did it for her own good. Mason was just wondering if this little ordeal would cost him his job. They were so deep in thought that they didn't realize Sig walk though the door.

"Well if it isn't the Elric brats." He chuckled.

The three didn't even turn to greet the man. They simply just sat there, rambling. Sig shrugged. *What's gotten into them?* he thought to himself. He walked the stairs to see what his wife was up to. The Elrics and Mason stopped their rambling for a minute. Was that who they thought it was? They jerked their heads in the direction of the stair case in panic. There, they saw a puzzled Sig, and standing in front of him was a very pissed Izumi. All three of them looked at each other. This was the end.

The train ride home was a long one. Longer then any other ride they had ever been on. Well, this this might have had to do with the huge bruises that Ed had all over his body and maybe a broken rib or two. Al was holding his bent head, that was almost completely unrecognizable at the moment. However, nothing a little alchemy couldn't fix. Ed shifted in his seat. He winced in pain.

"That… is…the…last…time…I ever help Teacher." Ed growled, gritting his teeth.

"Well maybe you shouldn't have been so impulsive." Al remarked.

Ed playfully punched his little brother. "Shut up!" He laughed, but was cut off by a wave of pain shooting up his left side. "I just hope Mason is okay."

"Why would you say that? He was fine when we left." Al said puzzled.

"Well let's just say… Teacher wasn't exactly thrilled that he left her in the room, after she had ordered him to open it." Ed explained.

"Y-you don't think she-" Al gasped.

"We may never know little brother, we may never know," Ed sighed.

In Dublith…

Mason sighed as he watched the sunset. Those kids where off to another adventure, and he was stuck here. Maybe someday he would be able to travel to far-off places. At least then he could get away from Izumi for a while. "Oh well…" He sighed.

He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and shuddered. He looked over to see who it was. To his dismay it was Izumi with a grin on here face.

"Well," She said in a strange, happy tone. "Don't think I forgot about what you did to me this morning." She cracked her knuckles and glared at him. He sighed and knew what was going to happen next. Moments later, the whole city of Dublith could here the screams of what they thought could have come from some little girl. Little did they know, it was from a grown man paying for the price of listening to the Elrics.

He lay there on the ground, not wanting to waste the energy to move. "I-I swear, the next time I see those two…I'll…I'll make them pay for what they did to me!"
