No reviews for chapter 2? D: *internally devastated by the lack of reviews*

FMA: Brotherhood, Ed, Al, Cornello, Liore, etc. Belong to the ingenious Hiromu Arakawa. Magen belongs to me, Marina. Sara belongs to my friend, Chelsea.


Edward picked up the head to Alphonse's armor. Sara and I just stood there, in awe, as the empty suit of armor replaced its helmet. I slapped my twin's arm.

"You killed him... You COULD'VE KILLED HIM!" I shouted.

"Don't fight again!" Alphonse's armor said, "I'm fine, see?" And he was, I guess, considering he didn't have a real body. I thought for a second, OK, maybe more than a second.

Alchemists go by one rule: Equivalent Exchange. To get something, you must give something of equal value up. It applies to everything when you think about it. Except for one thing: human life. Because what on earth could equal the value of human life? Nothing, I rest my case. So, then, does that mean these two boys (Even though I have a feeling they might be older than Sara and me) performed the alchemical no-no?

"Uh..." I said, getting my mind over the shock of the empty armor, "Right, well, we're going to go to Cornello with you two."

"No," Said Edward, "It's too dangerous for a couple of girls."

"Oh, so because we're girls, we can't go?" Sara asked, mad.

"Exactly." Edward said. My sister punched him in the face. Three things she hates: Getting hit, being confused with me, and not being able to do things because she's a girl."What'd you do that for?" Edward shouted.

"One, payback. Two, we're going with you." Sara reasoned.

"OK, fine, we're wasting time just standing here, let's go then." Edward said. Sara grinned in a feeling of win.

Surprise: we went and found Cornello at the shrine for Leto. When I saw him, though, I dived behind a Leto statue. Ironically then, I was afraid of fighting and confrontation.

"Father Cornello," said a servant, "Your daughters have brought forth a couple of visitors."

I looked at a wall in disgust.

"DAUGHTERS?" Edward and Alphonse yelled.

"Yes," Sara said, "Daughters. Leto I hate saying that..."

~I was too busy hiding behind a Leto statue, so I didn't do much until there that was a large noise. I came out and saw... Gosh only knows what.

"What the heck is that?" I shouted, diving back behind the statue. Sara joined me there. Edward and Alphonse could handle it.

There was shouting, freaking out, and noises, and then..."Al, let's go!" Edward shouted.

Sara and I looked and saw a new door. The two brothers hauled it out of there.

"They're gone..." Sara said.

"Duh." I responded. "Let's go before Cornello sees us."

We stood up and started to leave when 'daddy' spoke up.

"Oh, there you two are! I was worried the Chimera got you." he said.

"Didn't seem like you were." Sara said.

As soon as the guards left Mr. Nice Cornello was gone "Why did you two bring those blasphemers to Leto here?" He shouted.

"Let us see your Philosopher's Stone and then we'll talk." I said.

"What? How do you know about that?" I felt someone watching us and looked behind me. Nothing, creepy!

"It's a magical thing called your library!" Sara said sarcastically.

"Fine, here, see?" He held up his left hand and showed us his ring he wore on his middle finger.

"OK, thanks!" I said, leaving and dragging Sara, who undoubtedly wanted a fight, behind me.

"Hey, let me go!" She whined, "All I want to do is hit him!"

"And that's why I'm not letting you go." I said.

~About an hour later, we were sitting at a drink stand on bar-stools.

"I wonder where Edward and Alphonse are." Sara asked. Suddenly, the radios and speakers came on.

I heard Cornello say stuff, calling everyone idiots. He kept going on about Liore being full of morons and then said something different. Guess I should've seen it coming, but Father Cornello only adopted Sara and me to help his image. I stared at the radio, then at where I had a good idea Edward, Alphonse, and Cornello were. There was a crash, Sara and I nodded at each other, and went we got to the temple of Leto, I looked up and saw... something up near the roof.

When we got inside, there was Edward without his jacket so I could see that his whole arm was of auto-mail. And there was this HUGE fist coming out of the Leto statue into the floor.

"Did you get the Philosopher's Stone?" I asked.

"Turns out, the old man didn't have one!" Edward said with a fake smile.

Alphonse came from a stairwell to the roof."Brother, did you get the stone?" he asked.

"Nope. Come on, Al, let's go."

So the brothers left. I looked at Sara and nodded. We were going to Central.

We ran home to get our travel bags. We put in clothes and other necessary junk. We changed from shoes to boots, and from our still slightly fancy clothes into white long-sleeved shirts with black tank-tops over them and regular pants.

"Edward, Alphonse!" We called, running from the city of oppressing, brainwashed, zombie-like, sociopathic Letoists. "Wait for us!"


Note: Yay, chapter 3! Bye-bye, sociopaths! Review, please?
