chapter 6 (4 years later)
It's hot, sandy and no water anywhere can you guess where we are? Yup the fucking desert! I hate desert. Al(14) is in well armor, Ed(15) is in black shirt,black pants, and his red coat with our teacher's symbol on it and I'm(13) wear almost the same thing as Ed but i have a dark blue coat with no symbol on it. Anyways,we're only walking in the desert because SOMEONE attack the driver because he got called short. " hey Ed where al?" I asked " al right .. Behind ... Me ... Al.. Al where you go?" then a hand pop out of the sand and grab Ed foot" right here brother" al said " man al why do you keep sinking?" I asked " cause I get full. " he said " full of what?" Ed said as he kick al chest. Al chest open and a pile of sand was dumped right on him. I start laughing really hard that I fell on the ground. " al you better run" I said in between giggles " why?" " AL I'M GOING TO GET YOU!" Ed screamed " that why" they ran off chasing each other like a bunch of five year olds.
We finally made it to Lior and we needed water. Ed all sudden shoot off running toward A FOUNTAIN! I started running as well. When I got there the water was red and smelled really bad. Ed took a cup and fill it to examine it closer. " it's wine" he said " hey you kids get off of that " this dude said as he hit Ed with a broom. After explaining, he apologize and gave us some real water. " so what are you guys street performers or something" he asked " I don't think so pops!" Ed said after spitting his water on me. " thanks Ed " I said sarcastically " sorry Alisa. Come on guys lets go." Ed said. As we got up from our seats Al hit the roof and the radio got knock off and broke. " hey" the guy scream " don't worry we'll fix it." Ed told him as Al set up the alchemy circle and put his hands on it . A blue glow happen and the radio was fix. " amazing you also been touch by the sun god Leto like father Cornello" he said " touch by who?" I asked " it not a miracle it's alchemy." Al said " oh so you two are alchemist " a guy said " yeah we're the Elric brothers " Ed said in pride " oh yeah I heard of them" a guy said " the fullmetal alchemist, Edward Elric and his partner the dagger alchemist." all the people started to crowd around Al and me " I'm not the fullmetal alchemist, he is " Al said pointing to Ed " you mean the shimp over there?" a guy asked as I moved away from the crowd " WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SHIMP?" Ed yells at them" and who is father Cornello ?" I asked " that our leader " the owner said " we were lost until he came to town, teaches us all the ways of the sun gob Leto. He grant enteral life to loyal follower. He can even resurrect the dead. His miracle are proof that what he says is true ." a guy said " bring the dead back to life, I got to see that." Ed said
We head over to large crowd and saw the father Cornello guy. He took a flower and turned it into a large ice sculpture. " what do you guys think about it?" I asked " he's ignoring the law of equivalent exchange." Al said " he can't do that unless he has a philosopher stone." Ed said " bingo"" ~was his nameo~" I sang " sorry " Ed just started laughing " come on let's go " Ed said " where?" al asked " to the church!"When we got there we found a girl with black hair and pink bangs praying. " so this is the almighty Leto" Ed asked " welcome are you interested in Letoism " she asked " nope can't say I am" Ed said " he not the religion type " I pointed out. " sorry to hear that I'm sure if you believed god would make you grow taller" she said " WHAT THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN " Ed screamed " Ed calm down" I told him " yeah brother she just trying to be helpful" Al said " what about bring the dead back to lift. You believed that , that's possible too?" Ed asked " yes " she answered. Ed then began reading the components of a human body. I was amazed by the list because it was the first time I heard it. " what chemicaly scientist couldn't do you think you could do by prayer " Ed argued " lift thy voice to god, and the prays of the faithful shall be answered " she said back" did I mention all those Ingredient can be bought with a child allowance. It turns out humans are pretty cheap."
" no we are all children of god, created in his imaged "
" you have to understand ,we alchemist are scientist,we don't believe in the concep like creators of god we observed the physical laws that govern this try to learn the truth. If you think about we been given the power to play god our self."
So you're putting yourself on the same level as god! Thats just arrogates!"
" there a old myths about a hero whose wings were made out of wax. He thought he could touch the sun but when he got to close his wings melted. So he fell and died. Right guys." Ed asked us " brother!" al said " I'm sorry miss but do you think your father could save a blind scientist like me?" Ed ask " blind is right " I mumbled Ed glared at me as I just smiled back. " of course he can if anyone lead you to the creator light he can." she said in joy.We were then lead into a large room " you have to understand father Cornello is a busy man " our guild said " we understand we won't take much of his time." the door then shut behind us as me and Al had guns to our heads. I didn't really pay attention to what was happening. Then I heard Ed and al take down some guys as I took down the guy holding a gun to my head " make sure you know who you're up against next time. " I said " what all the commotion ?" I heard a guy that look like a bald priest say. " ah the fullmetal and dagger alchemist welcome to the home of our secreted order. " " father Cornello " Rose said " I apologise for my decibels behavior. It would seem that they have been miss guilded " " how do we know that you weren't the one guilting them. So what's next?" Ed asked " have you come to learn the way of Leto?"" no but tell me why you're using second rate alchemy to deceive your followers "" my dear boy I don't know what you mean? What you see as alchemy are the miracle of the sun god Leto " he said as he made a small statue out of nothing. " yeah that what I don't get how can you make something ignoring the law of equievelent exchange ."
" as I said cause it isn't alchemy!"
" but you could if you had a certain object. "
" what?!" he said " cut the bull crap we're talking about the philosopher stone. " I said " the stone on your ring that it isn't it?"
" the ring is just a ring, I am god humble servant it is he alone that I have my power. "
" still trying to use that pathetic excuse. If that the way you want it I guess if can alway use another way to get the truth from you!"
" Rose dear you see that gun pick it up and shoot the fullmetal alchemist." he order " but father I can't do that!" she said " I am the sun god chosen mimasry my word is the word of Leto. Shoot him rose its god will" he ordered. Rose then hesitated to point the gun until Cornello said something to her. She then point it at AL " huh no wait! it's not me honest!" Al said she then looked up surprised " dammit I'm the fullmetal alchemist! It not him, its me! " Ed yelled angrily " it's the short one! Your kidding " Cornello yelled as I was on the ground laughing. She then pointed the gun at Ed. She looked like she could do it but she pulled the trigger and hit al instead. Al helmet came off " AL " I heard Ed scream and so did rose. " good ,god Leto is pleased my child now pick up the gun and shoot the others as well " Cornello said " haven't you made her do enough already ?" Al asked as he sat up. " but your head ?" Rose questioned " don't worry he's pretty solid " Ed said as he tapped Al armor. Al then show her inside of his armor. Cornello then sent his chimera after us. " that just twisted ! Turning those poor animals into monsters. " I said as I got my daggers out. Cornello looked shock at our alchemy. " no transmutation circle. So the state title isn't just for show you really are gifted." the chimera attack Ed by clawing his leg. But the only good that did was ripped his pant and broke the chimeras claw. The chimera then bit Ed arm as in his automail arm. " man that chimera has bad luck. " I said as Ed kick the chimera unconscious. " your arm and your brother trap in armor. You did it didn't you. The one thing that all alchemist know it is forbidden" Cornello said " you see Rose that is the price of their sin. They attempted human transmutation. The greatest taboo for any alchemist. " " this is what happen when people try and play god rose ." I said to her " is that what you what?" " so this is the great fullmetal alchemist. Not even half a man ,hell not even half a boy. " Cornello said "what about you, phony priest, you can't do anything without a philosopher stone?" Ed asked " why would I give it to you so you can use it for yourself? Please if you fools are so eager to meet God perhaps I shall send you to see him" Cornello said while transmuting his cane into a machine gun. He started shooting at us but Ed brought up a wall to protect us " naw me and God don't get along very well. Even if I went he went he probably just send me back here. " Al then pick up Rose and started running. Me and Ed made an exit and ran out of there. We came to a group of people saying " that's far enough. Where you think you're going to do your boy you're outnumbered and you have no weapon. " Ed just kept running as he turn his arm into a weird sword thing. The man got scared and got their butts kick by us, some of them literally. And we kept running till we made it outside.
We decided to spilt up, I went with Ed while Rose went with Al to set up the huge microphone outside the church. Cornello finally showed up at his office and spotted us. " there you are you stupid brats." Cornello said "look can just cut the crap and talk here? All I want is just straight answers and then we'll be on our way. " Ed told him" you know Ed we could always get the military involved?" I said " oh yeah we could, couldn't we. " Cornello looked around then shut the door. " ask your questions" he said "you could do anything with that stone right so why waste it performing Phony miracle?" Ed asked " with each new miracle, I attracted new believer and with all those believers I can make an army of them. A lesion of holy warriors unafraid to die. " Ed just looked bored so did I. This man just another who wants power. "I'll tear this country apart with the philosophers done and the mindless army. Haha" he laughed as me and Ed started to laugh too " wait I don't get it why you laughing?" he asked " we knew it, you really are a novice aren't you?" I said as Ed showed him the switch to the microphone Al hooked up. There was even a microphone right underneath his feet and he didn't notice. The look on his face was priceless. " you don't mean that... Why you... How long -how long has that been on?" he said " from the start. your mindless believers heard every word. " Ed said " you'll pay dearly for this! " Cornello said as he wants again turned his cane into a gun. But Ed was ready this time and had his arm turned into a sword just in time to cut the gun before was fully transmuted. "just face it you're outclassed here. " Ed told him. Ed jumped back before Cornello was done his transmutation. He tried to shoot his new gun but I brought my daggers out and cut it. The blast backlashed on him and the gun exploded. He still had pieces of the gun stuck in his arm. " no I won't be disgraced like this. " he said as he tried to make a more powerful one " now behold the chosen emissary of the Sun God Leto!" he said as he himself was turning into something. " Alisa get out of here now! " Ed said " don't have to tell me twice! " I said as I ran out with Ed right behind me. Cornello started attacking us. We kept dodging him and luckily I was able to hit him once or twice but still didnt scratch him. " this fucking sucks!" I said. His fist than came at me but Ed jumped in front and stopped it. " my word is the divine word of God himself. My fist is the almighty fist of judgment. " he said " oh yeah fist of god huh." Ed said as he ran over to the Legos statue and made its hand come out and punch Cornello. He walked over to Cornello and headbutted him " shut up and just give me the philosopher stone. " the stone than rolled off the ring and broke. " what the hell." I said " the stone is supposed be perfect material. How did it just break like that?" Cornello then started begging to spare him. " the stone is a damn fake. You mean we went through all this. We risk our lives just to find out the stone is a fake. " Ed said. You could actually see his soul coming out of him. " it's alright Ed we'll just uh uh search harder." I tried to cheer him up " but that means We're just back at square one." Ed said " what about me?" Cornello asked " I don't care what you do." Ed screamed " just get the hell out of here" " matter of fact you could just go to hell yourself." I said with a creepy smile as he ran away.
We met back up with Al. " what about the stone?" he asked " a phony just like him." Ed said " sorry al and here I thought we could get your body back ". " give me the stone!" Rose said holding the gun ... Again. " the stone was a fake. It wasn't real " I told her. " beside it shattered. " " shut up you're just keeping it for yourself so you can get you bodies and dead mother back." Rose said " you shut up ! People don't come back from the dead. Not ever. " she then fell on her knees " but he promised me that if I pray he would come back. " she cried. Ed walk up to her " that hope was all I had left. what Am I suppose to believe in now? Tell me what to do ". " stand up and walk." Ed said " keep moving forward-" " you got two strong legs so use them." I finish his sentence. We then left for central and guest what. We get to report to that bastard of a colonel now.
