In the Temple.(Anyone but Hohenheim and Azerik.)

[Dante [Andras]]

Andras arrived at the rather "elaborate" temple alongside Zohi. The brothers where unlikely to be here but it was worth a look. Though he despised "man made" religion he thought it'd be interesting to observe all the sheep worshiping their "sun god".

[Hoenheim Of Light [Zohi]]

Zohi had walked in the door fist and was now waiting for the pipsqueak to come in, but when he saw all the people in the crowd seated together he thought for a minute. it would take planning an ingenuity to kill the young musician. he got out several of the thermite kunai in his belt and disappeared behind a pillar.

[Dante [Andras]]

Andras followed Zohi inside his violin strapped to his back. He trusted the man almost completely. He seemed so stupid Andras couldn't think of many reasons not to trust him.

[Hoenheim Of Light [Zohi]]

Zohi tosses a kunai into the crowd and activated it. the thermite kunai evaporated and incinerated all flesh in a twelve meter radius. the best part was, no one had seen him. there were people looking around now though. zohi shouted "it was him! the false Leto prophet. He tried to kill a child of god earlier in the plaza and now he has killed many of your followers." zohi had scattered his kunai on the ground and they were now at Andras' feet. "He's got more! BE CAREFUL, BUT GE THE KILLER."

(((we will both take take control of the crowd and have a massively high body count, HA HA HA HA HA!)))

the crowd moved surprisingly fast, gathering chairs and ripping the legs off for clubs. then they surged fore ward aiming to flood around Andras, intent upon beating him to death.

[Dante [Andras]]

"What are you doing you moron?" Andras kicked the kunai on the floor back over towards Zohi. He began using his case to block the incoming attacks from various people. " You'll never hurt me you tra- He suddenly felt a blow to the back of his head and the ground below him got fuzzy for a bit but he quickly turn around swinging the butt of his case to smash the strangers teeth in. Andras bashed through the crowd in order to avoid being suffocated when he noticed the same small child standing near the archway by the entrance to the city. Spotting one of Zohi's discarded kunai he picked it up grabbed the child and pressed the blade against his throat. No one would touch him. Now he just had to figure out how he'd get out of here and get revenge on that bastard.

[Hoenheim Of Light [Zohi]]

Zohi smiled. Andras had fallen straight for the bait. While Andras had been fighting the mob Zohi had pulled out his sword. "The blasphemer is dangerous! Please don't throw your lives away!" Zohi activated the long range transmutation circle on the hilt of his sword. Soon the kunai in Andras' hand would explode killing Andras and probably the boy, but all the better, he liked tragedy more than comedy anyway. Andras bunched the muscles in his legs and jumped about fifteen feet in the air. At the apex of his jump he activated smaller throwing disks with the same transmutation circle on them, then threw them into the crowd. Zohi shrieked "Watch out! he threw some-" but at that moment his voice was stolen by the rush of wind from seven small explosions, and he was thrown back into a pillar. Zohi grabbed the pillar with one hand and slid back down, sinking into the crowd.

((( You can find him in the crowd if you wish. I mean, if you cant see him, then he probably cant see you.)))

[Dante [Andras]]

(Andras jumped into the air? O.o I think you meant Zohi?)

Andras heard the "oh so familiar alchemy sound" and threw the kunai into the crowd hearing it go off with a bang. Scanning the crowd for Zohi yielded no results so her started thinking of what he would do next. After the explosions the crowd stopped focusing on him and began running every which way. Andras threw the boy to the ground and proceeded to reach the top of a nearby building. He play them all a lullaby...

[Hoenheim Of Light [Zohi]]

(((we are inside a temple... sooo no buildings... but okay maybe there is a small tabernacle.))) Zohi was crouched on the floor and a man was looking at him with a strange look in his eye... after an instant he spoke, "I've seen you before. in a wanted poster... your.... YOUR THE DEVILS MONK!!!" the man turned and landed a kick straight into the nape of the mans neck. it was enough for a satisfying SNAP, and the man fell to the ground, dead. Zohi would be a dead man if he stayed in the crowd, andras would probably suspect he would hide in the confusion. zohi made for the only high ground he could find and jumped aiming for the roof...

[Dante [Andras]]

((If where in a temple and you killed everyone in a 12 meter radius then no one would be alive? Lol I'll just go along...)

Andras spotted Zohi trying to get gain a higher footing over the crowd. Looking up he noticed the thermite grenade had weakened the roof of the temple. He knew that wood wasn't as cooperative with sound waves but nonetheless Andras played up and down his violin trying to match the vibration frequincy of the roof in order to make it collapse on everyone inside. Luckily he would be out of the temple before that happened.

[Hoenheim Of Light [Zohi]]

((( meter? ... *goes and reads back* *slaps forehead* i meant foot. 12 foot radius. *self glomps*)))

Zohi was in the air when an excruciating high sound pierced his hole body and he felt as his very bones threatened to disintegrate. then the feeling was gone, and he was still in the air. then he heard a noise that is quite impossible to describe. but it became evident that the noise came from the roof, which was also groaning and beginning to sag, little pieces began to explode and then larger pieces too. by the time Zohi landed eight inch chucks of roof were exploding inward toward the panicking crowd.
Zohi realized now that this youth, however impetuous, had combative talent. it was a pity he would have to die... Zohi drew his sword in a flash and activated the lightening transmutation circle and shot a bolt of electricity towards towards Andras, but his aim was off just slightly and it probably miss... onward Zohi charged, his slashing sword ringing to combat the piercing alchemy of the black violin.

[Dante [Andras]]

Andras quickly dodged the lightning but glared as a few strands of electrified hair danced in the air. Sound had endless possibilities, and Andras had infinite imagination. How could someone react to something they couldn't even hear? As Zohi was charging towards him Andras played D and used his body to conduct the sound down to the floor and up into Zohi's legs in hopes of making him fall from the vibration. Not even taking the time to see whether or not it had been successful Andras began condensing the air with his D string then released the bow to send it hurling towards Zohi.

[Hoenheim Of Light [Zohi]]

Zohi felt the vibrations in his legs, but the huge muscles and the training he had endured all his life kept him upright, even if just barely. This fool was going to make him use a technique he hadn't used in months, aside from training. The technique he used now was called Thunder Fist and Falling Rocks. Zohi caught the blast of compressed air and hurled it right back at Andras. that part was Falling Rock: taking matter with high energy and diverting its course. Zohi now stepped forward and threw one massive fist forward with all the speed he could muster. his goal wasn't to hit, but to stun Andras with the thunder clap as his fist broke the sound barrier. this part was Thunder Fist: causing an enormous pressure wave, while breaking the sound barrier and causing a sonic boom that usually stuns the opponent.
Zohi backed off to see how his opponent would take this small volley of offense and defense

[Dante [Andras]]

Andras played his violin as loud as he could as to avoid strengthening his own reversed sound wave. While he could block the sound to an extent it was no use one zohi broke the sound barrier and Andras was sent flying across the temple slamming into the altar. "You bastard!" Andras stood up cradling his violin, as long as it wasn't damaged he was alright. Playing D as loud as he could he created a mid sized sound barrier around him and Zohi as to reflect and amplify sound waves from either him or Zohi. He waited for Zohi to make the slightest bit of noise, it wouldn't turn out very well.

[Hoenheim Of Light [Zohi]]

((( well crap. i had at the top "sorry i dont mean to god mode, so we should calm it down just a little." but then i went to the actual reply page ( i guess i was using the quick reply, my bad) so lets find a way to postpone or stop the fight sometime soon or Cornello is going to show up pretty pissed.)))

Zohi watched as he seamingly obliterated the young mans defenses. great... this one is an innocent. Look at him... hes got talent, but he lacks technique. He would be an amazing fighter if he ever developed a taste for it. I wonder... Zohi sheathed his sword just as a platoon of armed guards came bursting into the room. Zohi waved his hand in the direction of the door "the assassin wounded us both." he said waving at Andras and then his own legs which were beginning to bleed from the vibration damage andras had caused. " -then went into the corridor. Hurry! I think hes after Cornello!"
The guards rambled out of the room without a word. Like dogs, going where the master bids. "No more here. I attacked you simply becuase I though that having a book smart kid on an assassination was a foolish thing. But it appears you have the slightest bit of merit, so i will let you live. If you show some sort of ability that is. If you are a burden... I Will kill you!" taking a piece of cloth out of his belt he began to tightly wrap his calves to stop the bleeding. then turned and faced the young musician, who, it appeared, was desperately trying not to be terrified.

[Dante [Andras]]

Andras reluctantly agreed but in his head he was glaring at the statuesque monk, nonetheless he figured there was no point in seeking revenge right now. After all, the man's stupidity would probably mean his downfall sooner than later. Andras could tell Zohi was underestimating him and that's exactly what he wanted, Anticipating a powerful enemy was one thing, but being surprised by one presumed as weak was another. Yes, Andras would definitely make a mental note of this. "If you don't mind I'd like to complete the mission now, I don't want mother to be dissapointed.

[Hoenheim Of Light [Zohi]]

Zohi felt a silent fire roar up in the child's soul, some other than human emotion. This child had great potential... he was sure of that now. "Very well... lets do this. do you have a plan?" Zohi knelt down and drew a circle that represented the entirety of liore and outlying lands that might come into play in the dirt on the floor. As he finished with the major landmarks and buildings he pointed to one particular area, "the one called Hoenheim usually stays here, so i have gathered from tracking him on several covert missions into and out of the desert. hes been in the area for about three weeks, staying at this particular inn. i havent been able to discover what exactly hes been doing, he vanishes before i can catch up without being seen and then reapears about three ours later in a flash of light. Envy should have already gotten here by now. i wonder what that fool is up to?"


(((Pro tip: this would be a good time for envy to enter the post)))

[Dante [Andras]]

(Well Envy is MIA >.>)

Andras looked at Zohi rather questioningly. "I'm not sure what he's doing but Lust is undoubtedly here by now, we should head back to town, let's just be careful to avoid the redhead and the old man." Andras rolled his eyes at the thought of either of the two strangers. He would get his revenge nonetheless, it just irked him that he didn't have time to seek it out now with the whole Cornello situation. "We should head back to town, if you spot lust then we can focus our attentions on keeping the brothers away from Cornello. Keep an eye out for the blond brother a swell." With that Andras prepared to exit the roofless and now destroyed temple assuming the monk would follow. After all the monk wasn't that bad.

[Hoenheim Of Light [Zohi]]

well one thing was sure... the kid wasn't stupid. there were things he could learn, but he was far from ignorant. "We should make a routine sweep of the west quarter. they will probably be coming from Central and the station is over there as well." Zohi followed Andras out of the temple and took to the shadows, he was after all an imposing figure. Zohi kept an eye on Andras' back as he perused the street shops. it was amazing how someone with such a high intelligence could be so ignorant of his surroundings. zohi crossed the street and began tailing the pickpocket who had targeted Andras. instead of staying behind him, however, he passed him on the left and jogged twenty or so feet and turned into an ally. He waited there listening for the sounds of the pickpockets footsteps, then reached a hand out and snatched him into the shaddows of the ally in the growing darkness that was the evening. a small crunching sound came from the ally, but no one noticed.

[Dante [Andras]]

Andras continued walking towards the train station in Liore. It was a logical path to take but her doubted that the brothers would just now be arriving. Nonetheless, it was worthwhile to explore the possibility and the rewards would far outweigh the costs. He figured that Zohi had gone off somewhere because his excellent ears no long detected Zohi's footsteps. it was amazing what you could hear when your ears where always in tune to the sounds around you. The boy he was looking for was called the full metal alchemist after all, and his steps would most certainly be heavier than everyone else.
