Fullmetal Alchemist: The Secrets of the Stone

Chapter 4

(At the main Church of Leto in Cornello's office)

"Father Cornello, you have four visitors. They are a human kid in a red cloak, a man in a suit if armor, an Inklet demon, and an Inklet wolf. The kid and the man in armor called themselves the Elric brothers while the Inklets called themselves the Cromwell brothers." Said Brother Cray. Father Cornello just groaned in annoyance and replied "Just send them away. I can't be bothered right now." Then he realized what Brother Cray had just said and asked "Elrics? Are you sure that's what the humans called themselves?" Brother Cray was a bit confused by this question. "Yes, no mistake, that's what the humans called themselves Father." Answered Brother Cray. Father Cornello face palmed himself and said "Damn! The Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric, has come to call us out!" Brother Cray was shocked by this response and shouted "What's a State Alchemist doing here?! He couldn't of discovered our plans!" "The dog's nose is too good for his own sake. We need to get rid of them." Stated Father Cornello. "What about these Cromwells? What should we do with them?" Questioned Brother Cray. Father Cornello thought about it before asking "Did the Cromwells tell you why they wanted to meet me?" Asked Father Cornello. "I believe that they wanted to know if you had an Ink Machine piece Father." Stated Brother Cray. Father Cornello did recall receiving a strange mechanical piece from an Inklet follower and was told by two 'humans' baring oroborus tattoos telling him to destroy the piece. However he couldn't destroy it despite all of his power. So he was told to make sure that the piece is not discovered by anyone. "If they know about the piece, they have to be taken care of as well." Stated Father Cornello.

(Sometime later)

As Brother Cray took Edward, Bendy, Alphonse, Boris, and Rose into a room, he stated "As you can imagine, Father Cornello is a busy man, but your in luck. He is willing to give you four a moment of his time." "We understand. We'll promise to not take up most of his time." Replied Bendy. As Brother Cray pulled a revolver from out of his robe, he replied "Then it's settled. Let's make this quick." Edward noticed that the room's door were locked and sealed. Then all of the sudden, Bendy, Boris, and Edward were pinned down by some priestes that had also entered with them while Brother Cray held out his revolver to Alphonse's head. "Brother Cray! What is this?!" Questioned Rose. "These four have come to disgraced the Father Rose. They are evil and must be purged." Stated Brother Cray. "Like you said, let's make this quick!" Stated Edward as he slam the priest that pinned him down to the ground while Alphonse punched Brother Cray in his face. Bendy did the same as Edward with the priestes that held him down while Boris used his enhanced speed and agility to escape the ones pinning him. In a panic, one of the priestes tried to escape, but Edward threw one of priest's staffs at the escaping priest which knocked him out. "Strike!" Shouted Edward. "What's all of this commotion?!" Shouted Father Cornello as he walked into the room from another entrance. To Be Continued!
