Well, I think it's high time to introduce the new bad guys. Yesh. Sigh summaries…I don't like to write them. Oh, well, on to the Chap!

(3 rd person.)

"This one made it?" The voice seemed to belong to darkness, to be created from as well as to create it.

"Apparently." Another voice, this one with a visible corporal form, was leaning against the wall.

The figure seemed to have spring green hair, and was dressed plainly in dusty brown. The overall impression would have been a tree; save for the figure eyes, which glowed blood red in the dark, there was no indication of the figure being male or female.

"There were a few days, at the beginning I thought we'd lost her." The figure didn't seem to bother by this. "Looks like he kept his word…this time."

"That is none of your concern. Keep an eye on her. It's still early, we may lose her." The darkness seemed to ripple with the command.

The Brown Clad figure bowed, before walking out and rubbing the back of their head. "I wonder if I should have told…too late now."

The Brown Clad figure had failed to mention that the new ones eyes had not changed yet. They were still the hosts' color. In this case, Gold.

(Back at Pinako's.)

"What the hell are you talking about?" Ellie asked, confused not for the first time.

"I'm trying to explain something important—" Ed trying to keep his temper.

"To someone who's had maybe 5 hours sleep in the last three days." Ellie retorted. "Not so many big words, 'kay?" While Ellie acted like a smart-alec.

"I'm trying to explain that for you to have a corporal form, a physical form," Ed added seeing Ellie's tolerantly annoyed look get harder. " Then a physical form must have existed somewhere else."

Ellie shook her head. "I told you, I've never existed outside of your soul, before. I'm not making this up, short-stock."

"STOP CALLING ME SHORT." Ed retorted

"Oh, get over it, already." Ellie replied rolling her eyes.

Ed had to stop and look again. What was wrong with Ellie's eyes? Ellie noticed and glared. "What? Got a problem?"

Ellie was oddly short-temper today. She wanted to pick a fight, while at the same time she didn't. Like the last 4 or so days, Ellie had gotten little sleep, and woke up terrified and more tired then when she went to bed, and still she had no recollection of her previous dreams.

"The gate can't create." Ed replied, closing the book he'd been looking through on the train ride back to Rizenbul. "Not like that."

"And you know this because what?" Ellie asked, annoyed. "Some guy who thinks he knows everything wrote in a book? Or those stupid laws? Ha, Someone had to create them. You know these things didn't suddenly appear. Bet that never crossed your mind."

With that Ellie walked out, closing the door, trying, and failing, to not slam it.

"What the hell is wrong with me?" Ellie asked, she felt oddly close to tears. "Lack of sleep." She told her self. That had to be it, right?

(Ed's POV)

"What was that?" I asked Al.

Al only looked at me with this patience look.

"Brother, what did you do?" Al's tone was a familiar one.

"I didn't do anything, She lost it on me!" I was a bit hurt, but I could see A's Point.

On more then one occasion I had been the cause of a lot of problems…okay, almost always I was the source of the problems. But it wasn't my fault…entirely. Ah! What did it matter this time Ellie was the one at fault.

"Brother!" Al got angry. "You have to be nice! This is all new to her."

"I was." I said a little shocked. "Al, we have to figure out what happened… Anyway, looks like I'm stuck wearing my collar for a little longer."

"Why?"

"I need to know more about what's going on." I answered thinking about what I had learned in Central. "Al, weird things are happening again. Murder is the name of the game in Central."

"Huh?"

Hmm. How much do I tell my little brother? How much of this bloody business do I want Al to know?…

(3 rd person.)

Ellie came back late, after debating on whether or not to. Eventually she admitted that If she didn't, Ed would probably come after her. Besides, she should apologize, though part of her rebelled the thought. Ellie was getting a headache from arguing with herself so much.

"Your still up?" Ellie asked, to tired to argue or think of something smarter to say. "I…" The words were right on the tip of Ellie's tongue.

"Everyone has off days." Ed shrugged it off. "I've blown more then once."

Ellie chose to bit her tongue on that one.

"What you were talking about earlier…"

"Ah, I don't know where that came from…" Ellie started.

"…You may have had a point." Ed kept talking ignoring Ellie's attempt to cover up the disastrous conversation. "None of this did come from thin air. Something had to set the laws we abide by. Truth is probably one of them."

Ellie doubted this. Something, a tiny little thought at the very back of her mind, was laughing. Ellie shook her head, boy that was odd. Anyway.

"What makes you think that?"

"The fact that Truth controls the gate."

"Okay." Ellie wasn't going to argue.

But to her, that made it seem like Truth had it's own rules to follow, some that it had to answer too. Then, that was only her. She knew next to nothing about this world. So maybe higher powers willingly locked themselves in strange little voids. Though that sounds a bit strange to Ellie. (A/N: Put in those words it really does make some sense…for some reason, I can't seem to stop laughing while I'm typing this…sorry.)

Ellie was ignored again, while Ed started to write something, down, that on closer inspection seemed to be some kind of math problem. Ellie sat on the far end of the table/desk. (A/N: longer then a desk, but not a table…Idk…something of the sort.) She would watch, but she didn't really understand, math was so complicated…except this was probably Alchemy, which Ellie didn't understand much of either.

"What are you doing?" Ellie finally had to ask.

"Looking over this equation."

"Uh…why?" Ellie felt rather stupid asking it.

"By our Laws, I had to do something to leave a loop hole, or…"

"I wouldn't be here." Ellie finished. "Right, Well, you can work that out. I'm going to try and get some rest…By the way, why did you rush off to central so fast? You looked like you'd seen a ghost." Or worse. Ellie added to herself.

"There was someone I had to talk to."

"Right. Well, night."

Okay, the last part is a little lame. I got distracted. Still, not bad. More and More of Ellie's true colors will be appearing. As for the Bad guy part, did I do that right? Well, I hope peoples like it. Sincers, Zevy.
