The trio is walking toward Lior. "Ok dose anyone wanna tell me why we took Mustangs advice on how to get there? asks Zero. "Because we believed him yet again" answers Al while trying to hide a chuckle. "Shut up Al" shouts Zero getting mad that Al is laughing over this. "Zero do you really think yelling will help us get there sooner" shouts Ed getting annoyed with both of them. "No I don't but it makes me feel better" replies Zero "shut your damn mouth you wise ass" shouts Ed. "Fine shrimp" says Zero running ahead of Ed and Al. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME" shots Ed chasing after Zero. Al runs after them to catch up

Ed finally catches Zero and throws him into the fountain. "Don't call me shrimp" yells Ed. "Ok im sorry Ed I won't call you shrimp any more" replies Zero getting out of the fountain. " great now im soaked" says Zero laughing about it. "Al catches up to Ed and Zero to find them both laughing that Zero is soaking wet. "Do I even wanna know what happened? asks Al. "Yea I threw Zero into a fountain" says Ed who had stopped laughing. Zero drys himself off. "Well now that im dry you wanna find something to eat and drink? asks Zero? "Yea im hungry" replies Ed. "Zero sorry for throwing you in the fountain". Says Ed "Don't worry about it Ed we all got a good laugh" says Zero laughing. "There is a bar we can sit at over there" says Al.

Ed, Al and Zero walk over to the bar. "What can I get for you? asks the bar tender.
"Nothing for me" says Al. "I will have a glass of water" says Ed. "Same here just a glass of water" "ok then" the bar tender turns around "o im almost forgot" the bar tender turns on a radio. "What is with the radio? Asks Zero. "It's a broadcast from father Cornnello" replies the bar keeper. "He dose the work of god around here" says a man"
"Ed, Al, you guys thinking what im thinking" whispers Zero. "Yea definitely a Nestor's stone" replies Ed. "Time to go" says Zero. A girl with Pink bangs and brown walked up to the bar.

Whispers Zero "Yea if we are lucky" wishpers Ed. "Come on AL" says Ed "alright brother" replies Al. "Hey Ed lets keep Al out of this" whispers Zero. "Yea that is a good idea" replies Ed.
Church alter hall
Zero walks in to the alter hall and finds Ed talking to Rose. "Rose do you honestly think that if you blindly follow God's will your boyfriend will come back? asks Ed. "Yes I do" replies Rose who looks hurt. "Rose no power can awaken the dead" says Zero. "What would you two know about it" yells Rose. "We know a lot about it" replies Ed. "Humans cannot play god" adds Zero.
Cornnello's room
Cornnello is talking to a priest. "What should we do about them? Asks the priest. "Kill the two talking to Rose we will take care of the guy in armor later" says Cornnello "ok ill do it myself" says the priest walking off towards the alter hall.
Alter hall
"I don't care" shouts Rose who is looking like she is going to cry. "Rose we are just trying to help you, if you make this mistake there is no going back " says Zero. "Zero there is someone else in this room" Whispers Ed. "I know Ed he has a gun" replies Zero.
The priest aims the gun at Zero and gets ready to fire. Rose see the priest fire the gun at Zero. Rose notices the bullet moving slower then it should. Zero then flips his right arm into the path of the bullet blocking it. "Ahhh" screams Rose. The she notices that Zero didn't even flinch. Rose takes off running. "Ed the penelty for attacking a state alchemist is death right? asks Zero. "Last time I checked" replies Ed. The priest falls over trying to crawl away. "You go after Rose Ed ill catch up in a minute" says Zero. "Right see you in a bit" says Ed who runs after Rose. Zero turns around to see the priest cringing in fear. "Its was a big mistake to try to shot me" says Zero. "Ho..how did you slow the bullet? asks the priest. "That's easy I made the water molecules in the air very dense and it slowed the bullet". Answers Zero "bu..but you are called the ice alchemist" says the priest. "That is true but I use the water molecules in the air" replies Zero. "Th..then how do you use ice? asks the priest. "That is also easy I turn the water into ice I can do this because ice is made up of water". Answers Zero making a ice blade appear in the air. "Wh..what are you gonna do? Asks the priest. "Now die" says Zero throwing the ice blade at the priest. "Noo" shouts the priest just before the blade hits him in the head causing blood to splatter all over the wall and floor around the priest. (Wow guess I over did it a little o well it was kinda fun) thinks Zero. (I gotta catch up to Ed) and Zero starts running in the direction Rose and Ed took off in.
Under alter hall
Cornnello walks into the room and notices Ed chasing after Rose. "Leave her alone" Ed stops running and Rose runs over to cornnello. "Why are you doing this? Asks cornnello. "Because I don't want her to make the same mistake Zero and I made that's why" replied Ed. All of a sudden the door shatters and Zero stands in the doorway. "I miss the party? asks Zero. "Nope it's just getting started" answers Ed with a grin on his face. Send out the chimeras" shouts Cornnello. Two chimeras jump out and attack Ed and Zero. Ed runs away from the chimera when he quickly whips around and punches it in the face with his right arm. Zero doesn't bother to move as the chimera jumps at him. Cornnello watches as the to boys are fighting the chimeras. "You two will die here"shouts Cornnello.
Ed runs up to were Zero is standing. "Im sick of them not listing to us Ed" says Zero. "Yea lets just show them maybe then they will believe us" replies Ed. The two chimeras jump at the boys and bite onto there right arms. "No stop this" shouts Rose. "Rose we are fine I told you we sinned and we were punished for it" says Ed. "Rose its about to get cold in here" says Zero. Zero begins to make the chimeras turn into ice by turning the water in their bodies into ice. "Ok Ed time to go says Zero. Both of the boys kick the chimera's heads of causing blood to spray on them. "Rose this is the body of someone who crossed the line and played god" says both Zero and Ed. The boys both rip the sleeve off of their shirt revealing the auto mail. "Cornnello give us Nestor's stone or else". Says Ed. "Or else what? asks cornnello. "Or else I will kill you and take the stone that good enough an answer you bastard" replies Zero. "Kill me" says cornnello pulling Rose in front of him. "If you attack me you attack her" adds cornnello. "You should not have done that you ass now Zero will kill you for fun" says Ed. "How can he when I have a human shield? asks cornnello. "Easy you fucking bastard" replies Zero "I will just freeze you head" added Zero freezing the air around Cornnello's head. "H..how did you get up here so fast? Asks Rose. "I guess I should explain that" says Zero. "Ye..yea" replies Rose. "I mad it so cold that your brains took longer to register actions" answered Zero looking proud. "But that doesn't matter what matters is if you are ok" added Zero with a concerned look on his face. "I'm fine or I will be said" Rose. "Thank you Zero" whispered Rose so only Zero could hear it. "Anytime Rose" said Zero. "
Well Ed I think we should get out of here before we get in more trouble" says Zero. "Yea lets get Al and get out of here" replies Ed running towards the door. "Well Rose I guess this is goodbye maybe someday ill see you" says Zero scratching his head. "Im sorry I scared you like that" adds Zero. "Its ok I was being stubborn" replies Rose "you were not stubborn you just were listing to your heart" says Zero looking sad. "Ca..can I touch it? asks Rose.
"If you want to" answers Zero. Rose slow reaches out her hand and touches Zero's hand. "How did this happen? asks Rose. "I tried to bring my father back" answers Zero. "I only lost my arm but it could have been worse I could have died" adds Zero. "I'm glad you didn't die Zero otherwise I might still believe Cornnello" says Rose pulling Zero's hand to her heart. "Im glad to Rose cause if I died there I would never had meet you" replies Zero looking into Rose's eyes. "Ho..hold me for a bit" says rose putting her arms around Zero. "Ok" replies Zero putting his arms around Rose. A few minutes pass "I would love to stay here like this Rose but I have to go" says Zero pulling away. "Promise me something" shouts Rose. "Anything" replies Zero. "Come back one day" says Rose. "Ok" shouts Zero running off to catch up with Ed and Al. As Zero runs off he fails to notice that Rose is crying.
Outside of Lior
Zero catches up to Ed and Al. "So what took you so long Zero? Asks Al. "Nothing" lies Zero who tries to hide a blush. Noticing it Ed thinks (ill have to ask him about it later when Al is not around). The three of them keep running until dawn. "I guess we should head back to central now for our next assignment" says Ed. "Great more bullshit from the jackass" replies Zero. So the three of them start heading back to central.
