The floor the group happened to be standing on was made mostly of compacted dirt and sand. which made it easier to transmute. in the shadows arythe had been subtly making black triangular transmutation circles, they came together to form a pyramid. inside, if you new how to look, you would see a spark forming in the middle. seven other pyramids just like the one forming in Arythe's hands were scattered throughout the sandy floor invisible to the naked eye. finishing the last process for this particular pyramid, Arythe embedded it in the stone directly above the group.
Moving on he crouched in a corner transmuting small globes of mysterious dark matter. distributing them evenly throughout the area, aryth noticed that dante was getting a little too close to martel. setting the first booby trap timer. arythe turned to gluttony and wispered instructions.

Not comfortable with how close Dante was getting, Martel decided to do something about it. Stretching her arms to grab the woman, she reached for Dante's neck. Unfortunately, almost as soon as she tried to extend the limb, she felt a sharp pain cut through her, causing her to retract her arm, gasping in pain.

"Well then, it looks like we're going to have to do this the hard way."
Dante took advantage of Martel's vulnerable state and grabbed her by the hair, pulling her closer and shoving her in Wrath's direction, sending her to the ground. "Wrath, take her to the base and wait for further instructions! And be sure not to harm her."
Turning back to the others, she clapped her arthritic hands together and transmuted a small legion of stone creatures from the ground. One went after Dorochette, two charged Gluttony and Arythe, and three went after Greed himself, each with the intent to kill.
She took a few steps backward and clapped her hands together again, creating not one, but two massive stone serpents from the ground. A physically exerting task, especially for an elderly woman with such an emaciated form, but she needed to keep her enemies preoccupied so that Wrath could abscond with her latest science experiment.
"Quickly!" she yelled at Wrath as she pressed her hands together, sending one of her serpents at Greed, the other at Arythe and Gluttony, backing up toward the exit all the while.

Martel fell to the ground, regaining her breath slightly from the impact. She was able to pull herself onto her feet, before the kid could grab onto her. Not that she thought he could, he was only like....thirteen at the most. Curious about what had happened with her abilities, she tries stretching her arm again. Feeling the same pain, she winced. "What the hell?" she hissed, clutching onto her stomach.
Meanwhile, Dorochet was swinging his sword at the stone creature, keeping it's jaws away from his body.
((OOC: I wonder why))

The stone snake traversing the sandy floor tripped one of the booby traps set by Arythe. one of the spherical glass orbs appeared, bouncing up out of the sand in front of the snake. this particular booby trap was a ten ton vacuum sphere, shattering on detonation. the suction was so great that it literally ripped the molecular structure of the stone snake apart. Arythe had been tracking Dante for some time previous to this encounter, so he knew about her stone goons and had made special precautions, previously he had transmuted several water geyser bombs. the stony creatures were caught in the geyser action and the water pressure blasted them to rubble. Arythe wasn't even slightly concerned about his friend greed, he had seen a good share of his power and new he was above this small inconvenience. For a much trickier part, but still sort of lame. twitching his left foot, hundreds of hundreds of glass spears jutted out of the ground around Dante. setting of even more of the gravity orbs...

gluttony had taken his chance after the stranger had given him a direct order.Digging around under the sand he had finally managed to find the orby thing the stranger had described, so he carefully grabbed it the way the stranger told him to. homing in on the sound of Dante's annoying voice he rush to it with orb in hand, erupting through the surface right under dantes feet. the orb smashes into dantes forehead... and nothing happens. gluttony is at the mercy of a soon to be raging demon, or is he...

Wrath, nodded and seeing as how nothing was aimed his way. Used Alchemy to transmute the contents of the ground under his left foot into bindings for his right arm, making a living rope like substance that attempted to wrap around, Martle. It was apparently mad from sand, stone, and a few other things. And that would be hard for her to break. He then, to her surprise. Had enough strength to lift her up with the other arm, and begin to run off.
-----------------------
Greed, felt it was time to show Dante a little of what he could really do. He used the iron in his blood, and condensed it. As apposed to his usual carbon usage. To turn his skin into that of a metal like substance. He would even mess around with the density. Making it any were from as soft as gold to as hard as titanium. He went for the iron used in construction today, in our world. And the snake sent at him, would shatter as soon as it touched him. The soldiers would also, due to Greed slamming his fist into the center of each of their bodies. He then changed back, running after Wrath. He took the long/short way. Walking around Dante and company, and then carbonizing his fist to punch through the wall. Then he would meet up with, Wrath. Though, Wrath would already be high-tailing it passed, Greed.
"Fast ass, short stack.." He muttered chasing after him.

Having anticipated a counterattack from the alchemist, Dante clapped her hands together and transmuted the air around her into a shield of powerful currents. This powerful barrier utterly obliterated the various projectiles and orbs heading toward the elderly woman, leaving her unharmed. Even though she was old and feeble, she was still a formidable alchemist with over four hundred years of experience under her belt and was not to be taken lightly.
When the currents died down, she turned to face Arythe. "You're getting on my nerves, child," she told him sternly, bringing her hands together yet again. Before she could make her next attack, Gluttony rose from the ground beneath her, causing her to fall on her behind. An orb collided directly with her forehead, but oddly enough, it failed to activate. Growling in frustration, she clapped her hands together and transmuted a large stone fist from the ground that punched Gluttony in his large stomach and sent him flying back a few feet. She was in no mood for his shenanigans, and he would pay dearly for attacking his master later.
She then turned her attention to Greed, just in time to see her serpent crumble to bits when it collided with his ultimate shield. It seemed he was telling the truth when he said she did not know his true power. But that mattered not; as long as she could transmute his ouroborus, his efforts were futile.
She darted after him as fast as she could when he began to pursue Wrath, knowing that her young minion would not be a match for Greed and his powerful shield. She pressed her hands together once again and used her alchemy to send a ripple effect through the ground, hoping to knock Greed off his feet so Wrath could escape.

OoC: hey i know this post will look like godmoding. i apologize in advance. but first i would like to tell you that no character will die or even get seriously hurt. also this post is going to be critical to my character, so far all you have seen is one persona of the yin/yang that is Arythe/Stone. if you read my character rap sheet then you know that hes supposed to be schizo. and your probably wondering why he isnt acting schizto. and this post will show y. but i need a favor of you, dante and martel. First martel, i need yoyu to be kinda leniant. the godmoding will probably end after this post and the abilities will suffer severe cutback, i promise. but to expose how powerful this character is i need a little leeway. second, dante. i need you to have wrath take martel and the two of you book it like there's no tomorrow. i promise i will not godmode like this ever again. but this post is extremely needed for my character. thanks
IC:
Aryth was glad to see things going the way that they were. Dante had failed to see the loophole in his plan. the orb that had been smashed over Dante's head was not a dud. in fact it wasn't even alchemy. so Arythe wasn't surprised that she didn't notice all the iron in her blood align to the magnetic poles. Activating the pyramids he had hidden beforehand, Arythe summoned the "magic" of a different continent. immediatly the eight pyramids formed a cage of lightening around Dante. calling out he said "Don't waste your energy, Dante. this isn't alchemy, I doubt anyone alive today knows what this is. not even..." closing his eyes it looked as though he struggled to remember somthing. "-Hoenheim Elric. You see..." with this he clenched his fist, drawing on the drawing on the energy deep within the earth. "-alchemy shapes many things. Water. Air. Fire. Stone. but the one thing alchemy cannot change is magnetism. The fifth law of alchemy states that you cannot change the laws of alchemy. But the laws of arcana suggest differently. the laws of alchemy state that the out put is relative to the input. Arcana just multiplies the input by the strength of the transmutation circle and the number of circles. I dont think she gets it yet, here i'll show you!" with that an even more complex series of transmutation circles formed in front of one of "Arythe's" hands blinding white light gathered in the middle, forming a ball of violet lightning. but just as "Arythe" was about to unleash this monstrous attack, he shriekes and grabs his head screaming" ARYTHE YOU FOOL!!!! WE ALMOST KILLED HER. WHY? WHY PUT UP WITHSUCH MEDIOCRECY...." screaming and screeching the ball of lightning began to hurl tendrils at the surrounding objects. A completely different voice screamed out t greed and company "Run hell kill us all for my failure!" with that the web of lightning exploded inward and Dante sailed from the cloud of ionized dust, looking severely battered but still functioning and landed on the ground. Aryth had passed out by this time and lay twitching on the floor.
========
gluttony woke from a daze, the hand that hit him lay crumbled on the floor. suddenly he saw from the corner of his eye something sparkling, so he decided to eat it. it was that quick. standing halfway up he rolled himself into a ball and sped off to glowing orb. at the very last second when the orb seemed like it was about to explode, it found itself in the infinite cavern of gluttony's stomach. after which it exploded. cuasing minimal discomfort to gluttony.

"Let go of me, you little bastard" Martel demanded of Wrath as he started to run off with her. Where the hell was he getting this strength from? Better yet, what was she supposed to do? She definitely didn't want to go to that woman's home. That'd be like going into the lion's den while the pride is still there.

((I'll go by what I understood from that post.))
Wrath, continued down the streets of Central.
With Martel in tow.
He may had appeared young, but he was much older in fact.
The young boy, ran down the streets and hearing the woman's bickering. He looked up to her with his cat-like eyes. "You talk to much.." He said, forcing some of the rope-like material made from the other things from earlier around her mouth.
He could feel Greed catching up, so he ran faster. Till he saw a man, who made his hair stand on end. He hissed at the male.
Whom he recognized from Dante's stories about him.
------------------------------------------
Greed, was gaining on Wrath. Though, every breathe of the way he was insulting his counter-part.
"Fast little fucker, ain't he? I should rip off his legs." He mummbled as he chased him. As Wrath stopped so did he.
He knew who this man was, he can slightly recall meeting him once or twice. He said in a cocky voice. "Yo', old man. How ya' been." He was in a leisurely pose now. Since he knew Wrath was utterly out matched, with them both in the same area.
Wrath, would not even try to fight.
((This would be the same reaction for the other thread, so I will post this there, too.))

gluttony looked around after the explosion of the lightning and found Arythe under a pile of rubble. unconscious and barely breathing, Arythe was dying. gluttony felt a strange connection with the man he didn't even know. As the tears welled up in his eyes gluttony didn't realize what was going on. why was his face leaking? Holding a finger up to his face he examined the tear. crystal clear... or was it? gluttony could swear that he just caught a glimpse of a red crystal. small a finite amount. reaching out he touched the mans exposed chest directly over the heart. a brilliant blue light emanated from the single tear as it touched the bare skin of the alchemist. slowly, as gluttony watched on, the mans wounds healed and his breathing became the deeper breath of sleep instead of death. gluttony knew what had just happened, he had made a permanent friend. pulling up onto his back gluttony took care not to hurt his new found friend. then turning to more important business, using his extrordinary sense of smell gluttony tracked down his friends tormentor with an incredible sens of hate for his old master.
