Ed: kia. Time to go

Kia: hai...

They walked down the corrider in silence. That's when he held onto her hand. Kia gasps softly " ed... "

Ed: I... Don't deserve to blame you. I too am greedy. Wanting both you and winryl. So... Now I'm going to chase you. Like how I should have since the very start.

He stopped in his steps and kissed her cheek " starting from now. "

Kia: um. *blush, smiles*

____________________________________

Lee: waa... What a big gate. You are awesome kia. *kisses cheek*

Kia: don't kiss me!!!

ed: yea!! *lightning zaps* don't kiss her.

lee: *lightning zaps* than try snatching her.

ed: oh yea?

lee: she's not yours anyway.

ed: I dare you say it again.

lee: she's mine.

He grabs her hand and put a ring out of grass " there she is mine."

kia: eh?!!!!

Ed takes it off and steps on it " too bad. Its gone. "

*walks ahead* *ignores*

al: um... she is walking away...

ed/lee: kia~~ !!!

The group walks across the white space, the bridge. They were met with many soldiers as riza said they would.

Kia crack her neck " so who messed around when I wasn't home? "

The soldiers shiver in fear.

Kia: move if you're afraid of me.

Jojo: don't be afraid!!! They're just acting tough!!! A million heiniasians to anyone who kills one. An order from Eliza!!!

Al: eliza?!!!

May: have they gotten Eliza?!!

Roy: who are you?!!!

Kia: doesn't matter. Ah... I've only got one hand to swing a sword. No careless moves I guess.

That's when hands pop out from the ground and grab their legs and drag their feet to sink into the ground...

Kia: just the person I need. Yuki!!! Hand!!! I need a hand!!!

Soldiers still run forward for the sake of money. Roy snaps his fingers and fire burns to them. An alchemy barrier reacts from their shield. They implant the shield to the ground.

Roy: what?!!!

A bullet flies to the shield by the back. It penetrates slowly into the shield... Alchemy reacts and the barrier breaks.

Roy: as usual that accuracy. Arigato. Riza.

He snaps his fingers once more and burns all of them.

Kia: hacker alchemy huh. Have they all come?

" don't give up!!! Its one million!!! " they press onto a circle and summons an alchemised cannon. Several people presses onto the circle. A lightning bolt ball flies in their direction. Al and ed claps their hand and creates a big stone barrier in time.

The stone barrier starts to crack... May draws a circle and put daggers on it pressing on it to make a barrier. Lee does the same to enforce it.

Kia: ah... Now I feel so useless.

Roy: *pats shoulder, dark aura* now you feel me.

*emos together *

Al: its ok. Its ok. You guys will be needed. Neh nii-san.

Ed: him? Hur. Who knows?

*emos even more...*

Ed: I'm talking about roy!!!

Than another lightning bolt ball hits on impact. The barrier starts to become shakey.

Lee: its a stronger one than just now.

One more lightning bolt hits on impact again. This time it breaks the barrier and the stone wall. It flies towards them in incredible speed...

Kia stands forward *slice * The ball slices into half and dissapears " daijobu?"

Everyone nods.

Kia: I only got one hand. Its going to be troublesome to navigate through.

Ed: you have us remember?

Kia: ed... Um. *emos * but... I really need a hand.

Ed: ^_^ ''' wait for it.

Kia: yuki!!!!

Just than a large blue slice was released from the opposite side clearing a large single path. Blue coloured balls floated in the path as Zihein and the whole gang walked through. The blue balls get absorbed by the sword and the soldiers watched and panicked in fear.

Kia: what a terrifying sword.

Zihein: that's why I like it.

Ed: those blue balls... Are they...

Zihein: hai. Souls.

Al: how... Horrible.

Zihein: one of the cruelest and famous sword all skilled people want. Jigoku no tamashi (soul of hell). The souls of hell that resent the living and want their souls in to hell too. What a scary description don't you think?

Yuki: yuki thinks it's cool.

Kia hugs yuki " yuki!!! Hand!!! Hand!!! "

Yuki: you useless thing. *smiles cynically*

Kia: I couldn't help it!!!

Roy hugs Riza " must have been hard on you. "

Riza: its fine... Really missed you.

Yuki helps her to get reconstruct back a hand " eliza and rita is still at home. I snuck out. That man is...unknown Some weird thing I don't know about is going on. "

Kia: what do you mean unknown?!!

Yuki: eh... -_- unknown.

Kia: I will kill you. *smiles cynically * so did you try asking?

Yuki: um... She didn't want to say.

Kia: its that serious... Huh. How troublesome...

Frin: eliza blocked me out...

Kia: I see.

Frin: nikojin, benkira is here. Izumi-san is helping to protect maya and rickie.

Kia: sigh... I wanna sleep...

Yuki: maaa... Nee-chan!!! Don't be so lazy~~ and one more thing ~ who is that handsome guy~? Can I have him?

Lee: sorry girl. I'm only for kia's eyes.

Yuki: huh. Oh no. I want to keep you as a corpse.

Lee: X_X llll my... Attractiveness... Insulted... * arrow stabs heart*

Yuki: attractive? You're just strong right?

Lee: another... One... *arrow stabs heart* kia... I'm gonna die...

Kia: *pats head* alright alright. Poor thing.

Ed: don't try to make kia sympathize you!!!

Roy: about time to bust out of here don't you think?

Kia: frin. Can you do something?

" You're such a slave driver " he steps forward and wears a glove onto one hand. The glove had a transmutation circle. He presses his hand to the ground and alchemy reacts. Another circle line with no emblems or patterns drew across the whole crowd " if you have an intention to kill, your first step towards us will equals to your life being forfeited. "

Al: conditions?

A few men didn't believe and took the first step, they exploded immediately.

Ed: what?!!!

Zihein: scary right? I wouldn't want to make frin angry.

Frin: urusei. *smiles cynically *

They walked through the large path zihein had made earlier and headed towards izumi's house.
____________________________________

Izumi: kia. You're back.

Maya and rickie runs to hug ed " papa!!! " he smiles and pats their heads. The two than runs to kia " kia-nee!!! Any nice things? "

Kia: erm... * shit I didn't buy anything face* heh... Heh...

Ed: don't disturb people for it ok.

Maya: than papa buy it for us!!!

Rickie: maya. Don't be greedy.

Ed: um. Don't be greedy.

Nikojin: kia!!!

Benkira: yo. Finally. You take forever.

" hi. "

Al: he is?

" marcus. "

Izumi: so did you investigate properly?

Kia: um. It... Was... Zzzzzz

Izumi: *anime vein* this brat... *hits head*

Kia: ouch!!! Why?!!!

Izumi: have some respect!!!

Kia: but I'm sleepy.

Izumi: are you playing me? *anime vein*

Yuki goes to touch her forehead " you need rest more. "

Kia: I know right...

Yuki: not that. You're having a fever again. Have you been eating the medicine I gave you?

Kia: hm... Hai..

Lee: medicine?

Yuki: so that the cells that aren't hers don't attack each other. Alchemy isn't perfect. I can attach it on her, but I can't prevent cells recognising the other as not enemies.

May: so its made her more susceptible to catch on sickness now?

Lee: so that's why you're frequently having fevers.

Kia: daijobu!! I'll just... Zzzz it of...zzzz....

Ed strokes her head " poor thing. "

Roy:alright lets talk business. Sigh... Unfortunately we were played this time round. *explains everything * Anything you guys find?

Marcus: I'm from MPC, and this collaboration just means we want to find the truth. * tells what they have found* we need the gate.

Riza: but that would mean someone would have to make a deal. Who?

Ed: I will.

Al: nii-san!!! Not again!!

Zihein: its not possible.

Ed: why?

Zihein: the gate doesn't make that many deals with one person.

Yuki: ryuuga did.

Zihein: he has things he can sacrifice. What do you have?

That stunned ed " I... "

Al: I will do it.

May: al!!!

Al: I'll be ok. I promise.

Lee: you guys are so annoying. I'll go.

Ed: lee...

Lee: I have exactly one deal I can make in mind.

Roy: alright than next agenda. Eliza liasli.

Frin: I can't contact her. She blocked me out. Did eliza tell you anything while you snuck out?

Yuki: no. Rita asked me to come out. She said to leave first. She will deal with Eliza.

Roy: I see. Than we'll go in and get her. Without her consent. There might be a chance she is threatened, didn't you guys ask her?

Nikojin: I did try. She wouldn't tell.

Roy: than we'll have no choice.
