Eheheh… Please read and review, usual rule… On with the next chapter!

Cellphone Conversation

Later that day in earth, Gwendal and Günter arrived just in time in front of the café that they were supposed to meet Alphonse in. There the couple found a suit of armor sitting by the window. Gwendal then went in and casually greeted the waiting alchemist.

"Hello, Alphonse-san," Gwendal began. "I hope that you don't mind that I brought my companion, Günter, along with me. We came here because we need your help. Would you have the time to assist us?"

"Oh yes, no need for you to be so formal though, Gwendal-san, and I don't mind you bringing your companion," Alphonse replied with a smile while standing up to shake Günter's hand. "Oh, and it's nice to meet you, Günter-san."

"Oh yes, hello, Alphonse-san." Günter replied while shaking Al's… umm… hand.

"Anyway, why did you guys ask for my help?" Al asked while sitting down.

"Well… You see, we need your help because our maou's been kidnapped." Gwendal said.

"Ah… and why would you be turning to me? Sure, I'll be glad to help, but don't you know other people that might be suitable to support you besides me?"

"Well… You're the only guy we know that can perform alchemy well besides Edward-san… We were kind of hoping that you can create a tracking device or something that can aid us in finding our maou and his kidnapper…"

"Oh, that's easy!" Al said. Gwendal and Günter smiled. Are they going to find their maou at last?

"Where are the broken parts of the device?" Al's last question seemed to crash all hopes of Gwendal and Günter.

(A/N: Some of you may be wondering why Al asked that, so try to remember the steps in alchemy: You need parts of the broken device in order to build something identical to it, One example is when they broke the radio of the man at the food stand in Lior and Al fixed it through drawing a transmutation circle on the ground and piling up the broken pieces of the radio. I know you guys know that, but for those who don't, well, that's the only explanation I can give! XD)

"Do you absolutely need the broken parts?" Gwendal asked, all the while wishing that he'd say no.

"Yeah, cause I can't make a tracking device if you don't have it."

"Well, we assumed that you can create it from some sort of material…" Gwendal seemed almost afraid to mention those words…

"Oh no, I can't help you with that, I'm so sorry! Even though you may think that alchemy is kind of cool because we can make certain things out of a transmutation circle, alchemy's still useless if you don't have the right materials to make something." Alphonse explained. "I'm really sorry guys, but you have to find someone else that can help you."

"Ah, is that so… Thank you for trying to help anyway…" Gwendal bleakly replied.

"We must be going now, sorry if we wasted your time, Alphonse-san." Günter said.

"It's okay. I'm sorry again! Oh, and call me Al!" Al called after them.

"Okay. Bye, Al."

With that, Gwendal and Günter quietly went out of the café and back to their own world.

After they arrived in Shin Makoku, Gwendal ran to the store to buy some load. Once he bought his load, he returned Günter's cellphone and proceeded to text Wolfram; still grim but left with a spark of hope.

Wolfram woke up a few hours later, grimacing in pain because of the hard object that struck his head earlier. The first person he saw was Yuuri, for he was beside him; so he proceeded to wake him up.

"Yuuri, Yuuri, you hennachoko, wake up! We need to get out of here quick!" Wolfram hissed.

"Hnnn… Nnnn… Huh… Wolfram? Why are you here?" Yuuri sleepily asked.

"Listen… We need to get out of here, hennachoko. Adelbert and the others have captured us and are going to bring us to who knows where!"

Before Yuuri could even reply, Wolfram's cellphone beeped… Which is a very bad thing considering where he was; he quickly silenced the phone, but too late, Adelbert and the others heard the loud sound emitted from it!

"Stop the carriage!" Adelbert commanded.

"Oh no! Please… Don't let him take my phone… It's my only hope of ever being saved!" Wolfram whispered to himself.

Adelbert then reached into the carriage and brought out his cellphone. There was a message on it! Luckily, he and Wolfram had the same message alert tone. After Adelbert read his message, he put the cellphone back and took a look at Wolfram.

"Ah, so you're awake now, Lord von Bielefeld. How'd you enjoy the ride so far?" Adelbert slyly asked.

"It's comfortable, thank you very much." Wolfram mocked.

"Hn, whatever. We're moving out!" Adelbert sent one last baleful look at the blonde noble before sitting in front of the carriage.

With Adelbert gone now, Wolfram proceeded to read his oh-so-urgent message that almost cost him his only hope of being rescued.

Gwendal: Wolfram, it seems that neither Alphonse-san nor Edward-san could help us after all…

Wolfram: What? Why?

Gwendal: They can only make a tracking device out of broken pieces of it…

Wolfram: Oh no, that is a problem…

Gwendal: I'll find another way… Anyway, where are you now?

Wolfram: I'm in a carriage with Yuuri, going to be transported to who knows where…

Gwendal: Oh no! Are you kidnapped too?

Wolfram: Yeah, it seems that way.

Then, an idea struck Gwendal.

Gwendal: Wolfram, which direction are you going to?

Wolfram looked out the window and saw that they were heading towards the direction of the setting sun. WEST!

(A/N: Just a random pick of direction, folks; don't worry about it! XD)

But before Wolfram could even reply, Adelbert suddenly realized that he had put his phone on silent. It couldn't possibly be the one that rang! Suspicions now aroused, he ordered his men to stop the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Wolfram was about to text Gwendal when the carriage suddenly stopped. "What now?" he asked himself. Nevertheless he quickly hid his phone and got ready to face Adelbert.

"Ah, Lord von Bielefeld. I see that you managed to trick me. I know now that it was your cellphone that rang. Now, give it to me!" Adelbert commanded.

"Wh-what ph-phone? I don't ha-have a ph-phone!" Wolfram stammered because of nervousness.

"Oh really? Men, search this noble and give me his cellphone!" Adelbert commanded.

Hidden from Adelbert's eyes, Wolfram handed the phone to Yuuri, and gave him one last command before the men dragged him out.

"Type 'west' and send it to Gwendal when they're gone! Don't let them see you!" Wolfram whispered.

"Why should I do that?" Yuuri asked.

"Just do it, baka hennachoko!"

"What are you two whispering about in there?" Adelbert then looked into the carriage; luckily, Yuuri hadn't been brainwashed enough to hand the cellphone to Adelbert.

"Well, what was it? Tell me, Yuuri." Adelbert coaxed.

Quickly covering up for their mistake and now realizing how appalling Adelbert is, Yuuri got out of the carriage and kissed Wolfram on the cheek.

"Be safe, Wolfram." Yuuri said nonchalantly with a smile.

Everyone else whooped, including Adelbert.

"Hennachoko," Wolfram flushed 50 different shades of pink. "I'm not going anywhere; they're just going to search me!"

(A/N: I know there are fewer than 50 shades of pink, but exaggeration doesn't hurt, right? XD)

"Oh well… from the way you whispered 'I love you' to me, I thought that you'll be transferred to a different carriage." Yuuri replied, but inside his heart is pounding.

"WHAT?! I ne-" Seeing the look in Yuuri's eyes, he immediately canned what he was going to say. Instead he replied: "was it really sounding that desperate?"

"Yup."

"Enough of this nonsense, we get what you were murmuring about!" Adelbert exploded. "Men, search this noble now! Yuuri, go back inside the carriage, please."

"Okay."

After Yuuri was in the carriage, he remembered the real words, or rather, command that Wolfram told him. 'Type west and send it to Gwendal when they've gone! Don't let them see you!' But Yuuri waited for them to return Wolfram and move before he assumes that it's perfectly safe.

After Wolfram was safely back in the carriage (with Wolfram flashing Yuuri a 'you're dead' and 'IOU' look) again and the carriage had started to move, (implying that they found no cellphone with Wolfram), Yuuri proceeded to type the word west, but just as he was going to type 'w', the carriage stopped again; this time a young man their age stepped in.

"Excuse me for invading your privacy," The shy boy said, "but Lord Adelbert commanded me to watch you guys."

Oh great. Now what?
