Fullmetal Alchemist: The Secrets of the Stone

Chapter 11

Last Time: Hazel chuckled a bit before saying "Are you trying to become the second Fullmetal Alchemist?" Selim laughed a little "In a sense. After all he was the youngest State Alchemist to join the Military." "True that." Agreed Hazel. Once Selim had finished eating, the school bell rung, signaling that lunch was over. "It was nice talking to you Selim. See you next time." Said Hazel as she got up and headed to her next class. "Same here Hazel." Replied Selim as he headed to his next class.

As Cuphead waited for his daughter, Hazel, while smoking a cigarette, he heard a familiar voice call his name. He turn towards the voice and his old friend Techton. Techton was a shadow dragon Inklet wearing a similar outfit to Cuphead. "What's going on pal? I haven't seen you since that Massacre in Ishval." Said Techton as he approach Cuphead. "Just picking up my daughter, Hazel." Answered Cuphead. Techton was shocked by this info. "Your a father?" Questioned Techton. Cuphead nodded and he blew a puff of smoke. "That's surprising since your very anti-social." Stated Techton. Cuphead looked at Techton as he asked "What's that suppose to mean?" Techton shrugged as he told Cuphead "You don't have any other friends besides me, Cups." Cuphead groaned as he stomped on his cigarette to put it out. "Anyways, have you hear the news about what happen in Lior?" Asked Techton. Cuphead look at Techton with interest. "The word is that two pair of brothers, one pair being humans and the other Inklets, have exposed some guy named Father Cornello as a corrupt priest." Cuphead then looked at Techton with confusion as he asked "And why do I care?" Techton chuckle as he said "Impatient as always. Hold your jets, I'm getting to the good part. Now this part hasn't been confirmed yet, but some say that Cornello had a Philosopher's Stone on him to preform his miracles." Cuphead was shocked by this. "A Philosopher's Stone?" Questioned Cuphead. "Yep. However, there little to no info on that part. Just a small few are saying that, which is why I can't confirm that part." Explained Techton. 'Something tells me I'm going to have to deal with those brothers soon.' Cuphead thought to himself. Techton the suddenly flinch as a car drove up and Further Bradley walked out of the car. "Ah! Techton and Cuphead, what brings you two here?" Asked the Further. "I could asked the same to you." Replied Cuphead. "Dude! Show a little more respect man!" Stated Techton. The Further smiled before saying "Well, I'm here to pick up my son, Selim." Cuphead then grew a little pale. Techton looked at Cuphead with concern as he asked "Are you alright Cups?" "I-I'm fine Tech." Ensured Cuphead. That when Hazel and Selim ran to their dads
