Fullmetal Alchemist: The Secrets of the Stone

Chapter 5

What's all of this commotion?!" Shouted Father Cornello as he walked into the room from another entrance. "Your followers tried to kill us!!!" Shouted Boris in a mixture of fear and anger. "My apologies. It seems that they were misguided." Replied Father Cornello. "Let's say I believe that you weren't the one guiding them. Then what?" Questioned Edward. "Have you come to learn the ways of Leto?" Asked Father Cornello. Edward looked at Bendy and asked him "Do you want to go first?" "You go first Ed." Replied Bendy. "Alright. The thing I want to know is how your using second rate alchemy to deceive your followers." Stated Edward. Cornello acted as if he had no idea what Edward was talking about and replied "My child, what doubtful eyes sees as alchemy are the miracles of the Sun God, Leto." That's when he created a Leto statue out of thin air and asked "Look again, can Alchemy create something out of nothing in this way?" That's when Edward started to scratch his head as he replied "That's what I didn't get at first. How can you transmute something while ignoring the Law of Equivalent Exchange?" That's when Rose looked at Edward in confusion. "However as I started thinking about it, I remembered hearing about an object that is known to amplify alchemic reactions as well make the impossible possible." Continued Edward. Father Cornello continued to act as if he had no idea what Edward was talking about as he said "Boy, I have no clue what you mean." "I'm talking about the Philosopher's Stone!" Edward bluntly stated. "It's your ring, isn't it?" Questioned Edward. Bendy sighed and then said "I think it is my turn now Edward." "Hey! I just got the mood set up!" Edward shouted in irritation. "Well I want to know despite him having the Stone, why hasn't he cured any Inklet with the Ink Illness as well if he has a Ink Machine piece, Ed!" Bendy yelled back. Cornello flinched at this statement. "He hasn't?" Asked Alphonse. "Base off those we had talked to whom have or know those with the Inkness. None of them where seen by Cornello for treatment." Explained Boris. "That's because the Inkness cannot be treated!" Cornello said in a panic. "Right." Replied Bendy in disbelief. "Rose dear, please pick up the gun beside you." Requested Cornello. Unsure on what to do, she obeyed Cornello. "Good. Now I want you to shoot the Fullmetal Alchemist and his Demon friend." Ordered Cornello. Both Bendy and Edward look at Rose, ready to defend themselves. However Rose couldn't believe what Cornello wanted her to do as she stated "I... I can't do that Father."
