A Certain Archer and an Alchemist
The Philosopher's Stone
Edward was walking down one of the many streets of Leore and alongside him was his tin can of a brother Alphonse. "Hey Al, what do you think about heading into the church when the priest has his little talk with the people? You know so we can ask about that philosopher's stone in his ring." Alphonse started whispering with a rather cautious voice. "Are you crazy?! Talking about stuff like that in front of the streets?! What if we get sent to prison or start a religious rebellion to hunt us down?!" Edward had a pretty smug look on his face as he responded."Sorry Al, I just can't help having a philosopher's stone only a few blocks away. We can use it to get our bodies back! Isn't that what we always wanted Al?"
"Of course, but can't you be a bit more cautious?" suggested Alphonse.
"Come on Al the city's already gathering. We need to hurry if we want to slip into the church unnoticed."

Archer was watching as so much chaos occurred in front of his eyes. He saw thousands of people with red eyes screaming for their lives. Some even trying to fight back but were ultimately killed because of the other forces superior fire power. Soldiers in blue were firing their weapons at each and every one of those red eyed people. Archer noticed a few soldiers in blue accompanying the soldiers. Each having a silver pocket watch paired with what seems to be magic circles on a part of their bodies or a garment that they wear. Archer noticed one of those advanced soldiers putting their palms on the ground. From this a wall appeared in front of those red eyed people leaving them cornered between a wall and a bunch of soldiers waiting to kill them. Seconds later he heard more shots and screams as explosions occurred in every direction. Archer was used to see pointless bloodshed. He summoned his bow which was as large as the extremely tall archer. The black blow was being primed for Archer to fire. Archer summoned a spiral like sword in his right hand in a vertical position. He then put the tip onto the shelf of his bow. Archer then drew the bow and while he was doing this, the sword began to become thinner and started resembling an arrow instead of a sword. "I am the bone of my sword," uttered Archer in a low tone. As he was about to fire the arrow that would destroy the entire area the battle was taking place, he was told by the counter-force to let them be. Archer relented and was teleported elsewhere until he was needed again.

Archer opened his eyes to the familiar curvaceous figure of Rangiku leaning downwards in front of him. Archer thought her shihakusho wouldn't be able to contain Rangiku's large breasts. Blushing ever so slightly compared to his normal complexion, Archer got up slowly with some assistance from Rangiku.
"Hey Archer, think we should go check out what's going on with the priest? People are starting to gather around the church. Maybe he'll do that alchemy stuff again," said Rangiku with a rather cheery expression.
"Might as well, we're going to have to find out how he's creating something out of nothing sooner or later," said Archer while he was leaning against the wall.
Both counter-guardians left the run down building they were staying at and disappeared into the roof tops under a cloak in which no normal humans could see them. The two companions went from rooftop to rooftop until they reached the church.

Both Al and Ed were inside the church. They were moving cautiously and stuck to the shadows like ninja's. The two continued scouring the church to see if they could find any bits of information they can about the philosopher's stone and how Father Cornello got his old wrinkly hands on one. To their dismay though, they didn't find a shred of information that could prove useful. Alphonse looked to Ed.
"Hey Ed, What do you think the guards would do if they caught us?" asked Alphonse
"Pshh, I don't know douse us in holy water sent from their "God"?" said Edward in a casual tone while slightly giggling at the thought of it.
A door suddenly opened and a large figure appeared behind the two Elric brothers. Ed and Al both turned around seeing red glowing eyes in the shadows along with one near what seemed to be a hand. Both Elric brothers could see the killing intent visible in the figure's eyes. The figure stepped forward and out from the shadowy doorway came Father Cornello.
"To think the military's dogs would stoop so low as to break into the holy house of Leto," said the Priest exactly like he was preaching to the thousands of followers he had.
"I wouldn't call walking through the front door breaking in when it wasn't locked," Edward said mockingly.
"I knew you two state alchemists would pose a problem," stated Cornello
"Look old man, priest of lies, whatever you want to be called. Me and my brother are only here to ask you a few questions. Questions like….I don't know...how you got a philosopher's stone in your ring?" Edwards casual attitude became serious as he uttered the dreaded words "Philosopher's Stone".
