After hours of excruciating pain Roy stood from the table he'd laid on. He looked down at his arm at the carefully burned scars. Two dragons swirled up his arm and onto his chest. He felt an odd sense of calm. He felt as if It was what he was meant to do.
"You are ready." Xiúlàn grinned.
"Now we have to find her." Roy agreed.
"No first we need a plan. She is not so stupid as to walk into our trap." Xiúlàn pondered.
The two left the room and met back up with the group. They marveled at the painful looking brand left on Roy's arm.
"HOW MUCH DID THAT HURT!" Ed hollered.
"A LOT MORE NOW THAT YOU'RE TOUCHING IT!" Roy growled back.
"Sorry." Ed mumbled before slinking back into the group.
"We need to figure out a fool proof way to lure the beast out." Xiúlàn said reminding everyone of the situation at hand.
"With all of these fools it will be a little difficult." Envy scoffed.
"I never like to agree with the little punk but he's kinda right." Greed sighed.
"Hey watch who you're callin fools. If you all remember we seceded in taking you all down." Ed argued.
"But you did make a lot of dumb decisions on the way." Hohenheim stated.
Ed pouted as the others struggled for a solution.
"We need to make her think she has us cornered." Ling added.
"And how to you presume we do that?" Kimbly sneered.
"We should split up." He announced.
"How would that work?" Greed scoffed.
"We have to think of what she wants." Greed chimed.
"Which is me." Xiúlàn replied.
"So we use you as bait?" Al asked.
"This will never work." Envy mused.
"I don't think it's that simple." Winry chimed.
"Yes, Winry and I both think that the homunculous is enjoying playing with us too much." May concluded.
"So what, we trap her and then annoy her until she cracks? What is this?" Greed challenged.
Everyone exchanged curious glances. Greed eyed them dumbfounded.
"Guys I'm not being serious here! That was a joke!" He fussed.
"But it could work." Ling wandered.
"So what we set up a maze that leads to the princess and hope she gets bored and surrenders." Ed asked not convinced.
"No. Not bored. More angry." Winry explained.
"Somehow I'm not loving the idea of pissing her off." Lust grimaced.
"And how are we going to control the situation when only two of you can see through her illusions?" Ed asked.
"Well with both of us aren't we supposed to be able to project that into you guys?" Roy asked.
"Ideally. But that means we could not be so spread out. We would have to be in a focused location." Xiúlàn supplied.
"What about that sword? Shouldn't we be able to be a way to destroy her on that?" Winry asked.
"I forgot about that! Yeah what about Fai's sword?" Ed cheered.
