Cornello
Cornello only laughed as he watched his guards and monks pull the feigned Edward and angry Kotaro away to their cells. "Relax, the sun god knows no such cruelty, and doesn't make his children suffer so." He then whispered into the guards ears, "Take her away, put her in a cell with the others, I don't want to see this traitor anymore."
He laughed as they disappeared behind iron bars, the guards now dragging Ana away as well.
Ana
Feeling helpless, Ana could only give a shout as Edward was hit hard, and her friends were dragged away with her to the cells. 'At least we've ended up together. No need for another hostage scene...' She thought to herself, grateful that the situation hadn't turned out worse. Once the guards had locked and chained them in their individual cells, Ana could only wait and hope that Edward would wake up soon so that they could plan again.

Edward groaned as he snapped out of the black void that his body had given into. He struggled upwards his eyes still adjusting to the area. His clothes were uncomfortable. The blood stained area sticking to the skin and wound. His good leg felt like a sledge hammer had knocked into it. The chains rattled and weighed him down. He shook the hair out of his face and saw Ana and Kotaro both siting near him."What-What happened? Damn it, his handcuffs separate my hands so I can't clap them together."He added wearily.

Kotaro sighed as Edward awoke. "Cornello locked us up and is planning on disposing of us." He said shaking his head. "Damn it, I should have transmuted these cuffs into a spear and killed the fat bastard." He slammed his hands to the ground. "I'm sorry I got us into this mess."

"No, I'm sorry. I'm the one who told you all of these things and got you into trouble..." Ana said apologetically, before lifting her head to see the others. "Still, we'll have to think fast if we want to get out of this mess alive. There's got to be something we can do... can anyone make use of a knife?" Ana asked, pulling a tiny knife out of its' hiding place under the hem of her shirt. She smiled proudly as she maneuvered the knife open with her mouth, and dropping it next to the two experienced alchemists. "Just give it back when you're done, and remember, we can't just escape with guns blazing, that'll get us killed. Let's try to think sneaky this time." She said with a small giggle, taunting the two on their sneaking ability.

Edward snorted at her "sneaking comments". He carefully grasped the slick blade, and dragged it over the cool ground. He grasped the handle and turned the blade towards his silver handcuffs. It took a few tries, but he was able to find the keyhole and aimed the tip in. After a few tries and shifts, it opened. The cuffs fell to the ground. He kept his hands behind his back to make it look like the cuffs hadn't broken and passed the knife to Kotaro winking.

Kotaro grabbed the knife and picked the lock before handing her knife back. "Good thinking Ana." He said as he put his hands behind his back. "Any ideas of what we should do next?" He asked as he winced, remembering the gash on his arm. He wrapped it with a tear from his shirt.

Ana slipped the knife back under her shirt once she had finished picking her own cuffs, and looked back to the others. "Well, it's going to have to be something well done, and loud. We need to get the public in on this one if we're to succeed. And we're going to have to do it quick!" Ana quickly whispered, as footsteps could be heard nearing the cells. It was only a matter of time before Cornello came to interrogate them, and likely kill them to keep secrets safe.

Edward was silent for a moment. He let his chin fall and his blond hair fell over his face. He tried to make a mental note of what he saw and then one image came to mind. "We could use the church bells, and a simple amplifier. That way the sound can reverberate over the city through the mike and out the bell." He smiled, he may be short, but that doesn't mean he wasn't smart. "All we have to do is use alchemy to brake these bars." He also added.

"Good idea, but look, one of us is needed out there and one inside. Who stays who goes?" He whispered as he tried to make himself defeated, his hair covering his face and gritting his teeth. "Ana, you know the city more then anyone. Think you could make it to the bell?"

Ana softly nodded, listening to the boys plan, and waited for her moment to work her magic. Tears streamed down her face as the guard walked by, but it was quickly replaced by a smile when the door closed and the place fell silent once more. "Alright, I'll do it, but this time, you guys get to play the fool." She said as she quickly drew a transmutation circle on the bars, and left through the newly made hole, only stopping to close the hole behind her.
Moments later she returned, with all the necessary items, using earth alchemy to roll the bell around until it was in the right position. "Everything's all set up!" She said, placing her hands back behind her back. "It's show time!"
Ana had returned just in the nick of time, as Cornello had returned to speak with the prisoners, just as planned. "So, you really think you had me fooled. Please, do tell me how you actually thought you were going to pry the philosophers stone from my very hands?!"

Edward smiled and he stared up at Cornello. "The only way I know how. If you wouldn't give it to us peacefully, then I fight for it." Good, Ana had succesfully gotton the materials, which meant they only needed to get to Cornello's office where he and Kotaro could force the info out of him. "And besides, you just admitted that you have the philosphers stone. You can't do alchemy or your miracles without it." Edward sneered as he pulled himself.

Kotaro smirked. "Without the stone your nothing. Hell with it your just as worthless. Your out of your league with us. Our alchemy is far stronger then yours even with the stone." Since Ana had set everything up, he hoped they could get to his office. They needed him to confess, or they were screwed.

Cornello
Cornello's laughter could be heard echoing all the way outside the prison as he spoke. "Indeed, you have done your research well travelers. Of course I use the alchemy from the stone to fool my adorers, they'll believe anything. They'll even believe that I can bring them back to life, the biggest miracle of all! But when it comes to alchemy, such a thing is impossible, even with the power of the stone! Still, it doesn't matter, as I will soon have an army of people that will fight for me, unafraid of dying as they think I can just bring them back to life. You'd be amazed how savage the human being can be when they believe that there's no way to die." Cornello happily boomed, unaware of the device just behind Edward.
Ana
Ana was happy that it worked, excited that she wasn't caught, and exuberant when their plan worked, and Cornello took the bait. At this rate, the entire town must've heard Cornello's confession from his very mouth. The only thing left to do was to escape from this place, and let the civilians handle Cornello now that he had been exposed as a liar and a traitor. She only hoped that the boys had planned out this one as smoothly as the last idea.

"So let me guess! You're tying to make this town into your followers, your mindless, clueless followers to you will reign as leader with the up most power. You also seem to be admitting that the people in this town are stupid and will fall for anything. That's why you use the philosopher's stone right?" Edward leaned back against the wall with a cool, calm expression. He examined his automail as he spoke, making a fist and uncurling it under his eyes, while a smile played upon his lips.
OOC: Okay I thought we needed to lure him upstairs but this is much easier.

Kotaro couldn't help but snicker. "Your building an army out of these honest good natured people by playing with their beliefs? I don't think they'll like that." He said as he stretched his arms plainly so Cornello could see he was unbound. "They might decide on some street justice."
