Lior

[vaga]

Musashi watched the soldiers slowly circling around the group. He let out a sigh, he knew this was a bad idea. In part, he really didn't care about anyone in the group. He lowered his head and scratched the back of it and watches as the soldiers closest to him raised their guns to full attention apprehensively. He smirked a little seeing this and then looked up looking them straight in the face.

"Don't worry so much, because even if I did try something, you wouldn't have a chance to stop it."

Musashi lowered his right hand ontop of his katana Fusion and suddenly two guards jumped at him and hit him with the butts of their guns. Musashi fell slightly back and mumbled "You little...", reading his sword with the sheath still covering the blade, he charged at the two gaurds and in the blink of an eye had hit both of them in the gut causing them to fall to the ground. Musashi's grin widened but then he heard the sound of guns being shifted and turned around to see the rest of the gaurds and the two people who appeared to be incharge of the group aiming at him. With a sigh, Musashi let go of his sword and let it drop to the ground and put his hand in the air with a big stupid looking smile on his face.

"Woah woah...they hit me first..."

"chronies.......?" Loke frowns. He breaths out slowly and puts his hands up as to alarm the soldiers. He glares at Roy and smiles "sorry sir" He begins shapely "but I'm not some henchman" he pauses. "I'm were just a traveling seeker of rare treasure, who decided to help the fullmetal, same goes for the other two". He saids as he looks at Hartz and Musashi while putting his arms down slowly. "If you want to arrest L, than go ahead, but we didn't do anything wrong". Locke wasn't pleased with L killing off the priest's men who were innocent and being deceived.

[L]

Roy Mustang glances at Locke and flicks his wrist. "How can I believe you? You look more like a criminal than an innocent man. But nonetheless, I sent Edward and Alphonse here by themselves. It was a government mission. Besides, it's not Edward's nature to accept any help. So men, arrest that man as well." Soldiers walked towards Musashi and hit him in the back of the head with the butt of their rifles. Then proceeded to handcuffed him and began to lead him away. Soldiers also went towards Locke and Hartz. They hit them in the stomach then handcuffed them.

L turned towards Edward and grinned slyly at him. "Hey Edward. We both have a common goal. To find the stone. Together we could find it, and then both of us will achieve our goal. It's up to you. This is the beginning of our story. Don't mess it up now. Hehe." He chuckled lightly as he went inside a prison truck as well as Musashi, Hartz, and Locke. Soldiers closed the door and they started to drive off. L was sitting one leg over another as he looked at the three who were arrested alongside him. "Don't worry. My plan will work." He grinned, giving mixed messages towards the three.

Roy Mustang scowled after what L had said, but he knew Edward wouldn't do it. He turned back towards Edward and Alphonse then said, "Good job. Now let's go back to Central shall we?" He said and got into a car along with Riza Hawkeye and drove off. It would take awhile before they head to Central. The Colonel was a bit worried. What would happen next?

Will Edward attempt to free L and the others, or will he let them rot in Prison and stay safe?

"..." Down the road, Edward watches as Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Hawkeye drive off in their car. He then notices the prison transport truck carrying L, Hartz, Locke, and Musashi of to Central Prison. "...Well... This has certainly been a weird day..."

Alphonse walks over to Edward to address him. "Looks like the stone Cornello had turned out to be a fake after all. But was it really alright to kill him?"

"Hey, don't look at me. It was all L's idea.", Edward says, dismissing the blame.

A tear-drenched Rose walks up to Edward. "...You shouldn't have come here.", she says bluntly.

"Hmm?"

"If you hadn't come, Father Cornello would still be alive, and the people of Lior would all have someone to believe in. What are we supposed to do now, Edward!?!?"

Edward turns away from Rose momentarily. "The people of Lior all believed in Cornello, but at the same time, they were 'imprisoned' by him, forced to believe whatever Cornello told them. With him gone, the people can do, say, and believe whatever they want."

"..."

"...You have a strong pair of legs, Rose. You should get up and use them. Don't let Cornello's false beliefs hold you down anymore."

"..." Still, Rose remains silent and continues to cry.

"So, brother...", Alphonse says, speaking up at last. "What do we do now? Should we continue looking for the Philosopher's Stone?"

Edward gazes at the sunset shining through the front gate of Lior. "...Not just yet.", Edward replies.

"Huh?"

Edward sets his eyes on the prison transport truck. "...We still have one more thing to take care of..."

"Wait... Brother, you don't mean...!?"

Edward then flashes a dark smile. "Yup... We're gonna bust 'em out, Al!"

Alphonse lets out a sigh. "I have a bad feeling about this..."
