Ana began to cry louder as Cornello purposed that she should buy a new cat, or find one in the shelter. "Don't you understand? Mew Mew Myoki has lived with me for five years! You can't just make me give up now! Please, you've got to help me! She's the only thing I have left of my sister who died when I was eight. Can't you do anything for me? Can't you call upon the sun god to grant me the only wish I've ever asked of you?"
Cornello quickly stopped complaining, and began to dig his fifth hole. The child was nuts, but she was right. This had been the only thing she had asked of him, and he wasn't about to disappoint her right in front of the entire town.

"DON'T YOU CALL ME SHORTY OR LITTLE YOU OVERSIZED GIANT OF A PERSON!"Edward screamed his whole face practically turning red with anger and he picked up the nearest object and sent it flying straight at Kotaro. "HOW'S THAT FOR SHORTY YOU @&:@€£+?! %#^@&$"His rant lasted less than a minute when foot steps sounded from behind him."Who's there? Stop this instance!
Ooc: Haha

"Hey watch it!" Kotaro said dodging the object thrown at him. "Quiet!" But he heard someone call for them to stop. "Great, just great." He said pulling out his metal ball. "We may have to get a little violent here." He said transmuting it into a staff. "

(Ooc: Just gonna borrow Cornello for a sec.)
Cornello was done, they had dug sixteen holes, and found no cat corpse. "Are you sure that it's here? Th-" Just as Cornello began to suggest that they look somewhere else, one of the guards ran up to him and whispered something in his ear. "Oh my, intruders... and they were seen with her. How very interesting."
Before Ana could speak, Cornello's guards grabbed her roughly by the shoulder and began to walk to the temple, Cornello following behind. "H-hey! What about my cat!" Ana cried, and the townspeople watched confused as the group left behind the large temple doors. 'Great' she thought sarcastically, 'they were caught, weren't they.'
"Who dares defile the sanctity of the Sun God's temple?!" Cornello boomed as he approached the two, standing safe atop a balchony. Two guards were on either of Ana's sides, holding weapons to her neck. "Did you really think you could just come in here and steal what you want from me? Certainly you didn't think there would be no guards to protect our holy temple? And I must say," He said, turning to Ana, "I'm really disappointed that our little village girl was speaking with the two of you before hand, planning this all out. What a shame."

Edward shrugged off his red jacket and grinned. "Alright let us see what I can do."With a clap and a brilliant flash of light, his automail arm extended and because a long sword above the hand. It was just in time because the guards approached, with Cornolleo to! Perfect! Or so he thought until he saw the men pull Ana up. He gasped, it was like a rebound. There plan had go wrong, but he couldn't he couldn't help sniggering for a second."I see. You really can take care of yourself."It was short lived though as he saw Cornello spoke. Edward scratched his blond hair."Yeah, it was kind of the plan. Take that philosopher stone from you and be on our way. Though I had kind of forgot the guard plan."He turned around and whispered to Kotaro "This is your fault we are cought."Typical to act his usual immature self in the middle of a life threatening situation.

Kotaro gritted his teeth at the sight of Cornello holding Ana prisoner. That bastard! Ana had gotten caught because Ed had rushed off without caring. "If you hurt her Cornello I'll tell a hole through your stomach!" He then turned to Edward. "Your the one who ran off like an idiot short stack!" Kotaro said before turning back to Cornello. "That ring you wear, its a philosophers stone right?" He said glaring. "And you have seen my sister haven't you!"

Cornello
Cornello had a relatively large smile, believing that he had all the winning chips in this bet. "Well, well, you really believed that you could steal from the sun god himself? He protects me, the profit and savior, with power through this ring. Alas, that's not all that keeps me safe within these walls!" Cornello boomed, ignoring the two's petty argument over who alerted the guards. He motioned to one of his men, and he ran over, opening a huge gate-like door, and ducked in time as a gigantic chimera rushed the two intruders.
The chimera appeared to be slightly starved, as it charged, attempting to grab one of the two travelers with it's teeth and create a nice meal. Cornello's laughter boomed about the temple as he watched the show. "You see Ana, this is the price that the sinners must pay. The automail arm on your friend is just one of the many costs your friends must pay for your deeds. Perhaps, we could help you on your path to redemption before you become like your friends."
Ana
Ana could do little but watch the show, and listen to her friends banter of how alerting the guards was the other's fault. 'I should've been the one sneaking in, they're just too roudy...' And then she heard Edward's snigger. "Just so you know... I'm doing fine. I'm not the one being chased around by a hungry chimera!" She quickly retorted, a certain point to her words.
As she watched, she carefully slipped a piece of chalk from her pouch, and let it fall on the ground. If she could escape before they saved her, she might just be able to avoid Ed's 'it's too dangerous, and you shouldn't come' speech.

Edward's brow furrowed. "Ana has nothing to do with the automail, and neither does this stupid Sun God. Alchemists don't believe in Gods or things the can't be explained. We are scientists after all."Edward snarled at Cornello. "And your just a third-rate alchemist who needs the stone to do his biding."The chimera bounded toward Edward, and it was just in time before the beast clamped onto his automail arm. "How do you like the taste."Edward grinned as he felt no pain. He slammed his leg up and into the beast's side, but it's claws ripped the left leg of his pants revealing another piece of auto mail, except this time it was a leg. The animal screeched as it was jabbed and skidded of to the side where it advanced towards Kotaro.

Kotaro glared at Cornello, his staff raised toward him. "She's innocent! Hurt her and you'll pay!" He shouted as the chimera attacked Ed. His eyes widened as he saw his left leg was auto mail as well. "This kid had gone through crazy things." He whisped as the chimera lunged at him. In response he twirled the staff and struck the chimera accross the face and brought it back down on its head, knocking it out.

Cornello
Cornello twitched as he saw his chimera so easily dispatched, and sent more guards to do away with the two boys. "You will dare not harm the sun god's profit in his own temple!" He shouted, backing away slowly. "This is an outrage!" With that, he gave a tap of his staff, and turned the bottom temple floor into sand, making it difficult to use any transmutation circles. "Good luck trying anything in that! Nothing will hold in sand!" He laughed, confident in his meager tricks.
Ana
Ana had finished gently tracing the ground with her shoe, having smudged the chalk into a fine point so that she could wield it with her toes. The finished transmutation circle was crude, but it would have to do for a quick escape. Maybe if she could get close to the boys, she would escape the mess behind her. Moving in a flash, she clapped her hands, and began to transmute a hole into the platform. She was about to slip down the hole when Cornello caught her by the hair. "L-let me go!" Came Ana's squeak, but she was unable to wriggle out of the fat man's grasp. The two then disappeared behind the temple doors, as Cornello released a second chimera that rushed for Kotaro's arm.

"You really are pathetic. Sands an element. I can do so much."Edward performed the alchemy ritual and in a flash of light the sand billowed violently before snapping in place as soild ground again. "Honestly you old man. All you did was deconstruct it. Now I can reconstruct it back. Hang in there Ana."He also called up as the chimera attacked. His timing was off. The beast roared and sailed threw the air. Edward leaped up to join it and jabbed at it's scrawny stomach with his sword, but as it impaled the rough skin, it's ugly talons swiped at his stomach. His face contorted in pain as the talons sliced through his shirt and grazed the skin causing blood to splatter in the floor. Edward pulled the automail sword out and the animal let out a gush of blood mixing with Edward. It staggered and tried to crush Kotaro with it's wait. Edward clutched the wound swearing violently as he glared at the priest.

As the chimera tried to crush him its claw hit his right arm and left a deep cut. Kotaro let out a shout and hit aside with his staff as more guards came in. "We gotta get to Ana!" He said slamming his hand on the ground, large pillars erupting and scattering the guards as he ran up the stairs after Cornello.

(Ooc: Are we gonna stick Ed in jail? For the whole exposure thing? Cause I think I got a plan.)
Cornello
As the two left the two bodies of the chimeras in the last room, the doors revealed bright light, and the large Cornello holding a small knife to Ana's throat. "Don't move!" He shouted, as the large crowd outside gathered, confused to see such a strange sight on the raised platform. "I wouldn't want anything to happen to our dear confused citizen. Please give yourselves up so that we can have a chat in a calmer setting." Guards and monks from the temple surrounded the two, and they tried to cuff the two in order to take them into custody.
Ana
The young girl could only frown as she watched the guards try to take her friends into custody. She felt bad, and useless, as she'd hardly managed to finish her transmutation before she was caught. 'If only I studied more... a true master would've been able to finish and escape. Yet I stand here as a useless hostage.' Ana could only hope that Cornello didn't kill her friends before they managed to escape. "I'm so sorry..." She mumbled, hardly able to keep her eyes off the ground.

Edward didn't said anything as the cold metal locked onto him. He only looked up in anger at Cornello. His wound was leaking blood fast and the world around his seemed to shimmer and flicker as his brain became dizzy from the lack of blood flow. He was once again useless in a situation. Couldn't even save Ana. Couldn't even save his brother. That was what Ed did. He took the blame for things. If there was one thing he hated, and that was feeling helpless. Someone kicked him so hard in the back of the right knee he dropped to the ground dazed; only to be manhandled upwards and forced to stagger forwards towards Cornello, wherever he was going. If only he could reach his hands togeather....

Kotaro glared at Cornello as he and Edward were cuffed. "If you do anything to hurt her..." he threatened. He could transmute the metal cuffs, but then he would meet a bullet and Cornell would kill Ana. "Start talking, what do you want in exchange for her life." He said with anger.
