I got everyone up just before sunrise at townhall and then head over to Adam’s place. Safe to say I had a lot of malicious looks pointed at me. After the entire group was alert and focused we made our way through the Everfree here to the castle where we met up with Celestia and Luna. Once here I started to direct everyone to their assigned spots. Adam, Qrow, and the rest of his team we the outlying defenders against any outside threat that appeared. The trio of Twilights are in the castle with Oscar, Trace, and RD. My Twilight and Dusk were helping with the flows of magic by channeling them into the circle and Runes. While Adam’s Twilight, Oscar, Trace, and RD helped defend them. Lex, Nat, Sora and I were setting up things in the old throne room. The alicorns and pokemon were on standby in case something went awry.

I was doing some final prep work on the calibrations for Sora body while Lex was placing a few protective scripts around the room to form a barrier as a last line of defense should everyone have to fall back here. Nat and Sora were staring at Sora’s body as it still floated in its tank. I walk over to them and speak in a soothing voice.

“It's time to get her out of this thing Nat and put her in the circle. I think you should be the one to do it,” I say as I start to purge the liquid magic from the pod. She nods and walks up to the pod, holding Sora’s body upright as the last of the magic is purged. She takes a breath and carries the child to the center of the circle, being more gentle than I think I have ever seen her be before.

“Nat you stay next to Sora’s body and Lex you need to stand across from me. Have your Seith magic ready,” I say as Lex takes her spot on the opposite side of the alchemagic circle. “Twilights start channeling the magic of the land into the Runes in front of you. Lunas and Celestia be sure to keep that magic steady. Nat, Sora take off the Soul Stone and place it in your inventory.”

Everyone started to do their jobs as they were directed. When in a few seconds of giving everyone their orders the circle and Runes began to glow with a multitude of colors.

“Okay. Nat, Sora, prepare to meet your next Void Dweller and Trust me when I say he or she is way scarier than Loki,” I said clapping my hands together hand then placing them on the edge of the circle. Red lightning started to fly in every direction. Then in the center of the circle, a monsters eye appeared and started to engulf Nat while I followed here into as well.

In the next moment, I could see I was flying through a firestorm and whirlwind of random images as my body was deconstructed as it passed through the Portal of Truth. Then I could see that there was a light at the in the distance. ‘Just like last time. I’m coming Sora, just hold on a little longer.’

In a flash of white, I once again found myself in the home of the Void Dweller that called itself Truth. I was laying on my face so I got up and started to walk around until I came across three Portals of Truth. One I quickly recognized as my own while the other two I could guess belonged to Nat and Sora. They were both standing in front of their respective doors. Their doors had what appeared to be trees on them with the branches on them being labeled with Friends and Family and there were specific names and symbols under each category. The doors were mirrors of each other but Nat’s also had an extra branch labeled Lovers with a single name on it, Twilight.

I then laid my eyes on the bastard that I was there to see standing in the center of the Gates with its usual toothy smile, on its none existent face, Truth. It quickly notices my presence walking over to me and starts to speak.

“If it isn’t my old friend Edward Elric. What brings you to my part of the void. No wait, let me guess, hmmm, you’re here to exchange these two souls for more power, as they are quite strong in many areas like magic. I know you want their abilities for yourself. Oh, you want to trade them for a new arm and leg,” laughed the Truth as is smile showing off its teeth to me.

I stood there gritting my teeth as I balled my teeth. “Shut up you damn bastard. You already know why I came here. And you also know that I wouldn’t come here unless I absolutely had too.”

“Let me ask you this, Allan. Was all of what you’ve done for these humans and others really worth it? All they’ve done so far is nothing but scorn you for trying to help with the exception of these two, of course,” Truth stated as it pointed to Nat and Sora who were still staring at their gates in some sort of trance.

I swung my fist with everything slamming it into Truth cheek sending it flying through the air landing on the near Nat sending a shockwave throughout the white void. Nat was quickly brought out of her trance and turned to lay her gaze on Truth. It simply evilly smiled as it stared back at her with none existent eyes. I used Sloth the put myself right in front of her getting Truth’s attention back on me. I kept looking at the Void Dweller while I whispered with Nat.

“Ed is that thing what I think it is?” Nat asked softly as she could.

“Yes it is Nat, that’s the Truth or at least the Void’s equivalent and it’s just as much of an asshole as the one in the shows and manga. You need to get to Sorano and snap her out of the trances you were both placed in. I’ll occupy Truth as long as I can,” I whisper seriously over my shoulder.

“Ed, I can help. I was able to keep up with you after all,” Nat says as she starts stepping out from behind me looking to the white smiling figure in front of us. I put my arm in front of her. “Ed?”

“No, you might have fought equally with me when I was too scared of my use my full power Nat, but there’s no way you could keep up with me now that I can utilize my full strength without fear of losing control. Even if you used Queen Mode, besides you’re in no shape to fight when you’re the only one hold Sorano together. You need to get to Sora as she's still connected to you and she needs her big sisters to help her face the monster that’ll save her life,” I say changing into my full demon form.

“Now go!” I say as I speed toward Truth in a flash of crimson as I unload a fury of blows on the bastard. Truth simply laughed at my assault on it as it moves to and fro dodging my attacks. It summoned orbs of white light and started to fire beams at me. I dodged them one after another but I knew Truth was just toying with me.

“Come on Allan, show me what you can do with all of that power you've acquired since the Merchant first sent you to Equestria,” Truth says flying down at me at whistling speeds with a balled fist landing directly in my gut sending me flying. “How about we see what you can do without that alchemy of yours,” it said as Truth snapped its fingers.

Red circles proceeded to move up and down my body. The next thing I know my demon form crumbled away as I was back in my human form but something was off. I was no longer wearing my usual attire but I now was had shoulder length messy brown hair, hazel eyes, and a very pale complexion. While my attire consisted of a red T-shirt, a dark grey trench coat, black dress pants with an adjustable cloth belt with a skull emblem on it, heavy black steel toe boots, and a fedora that matched my coat with a purple and electric blue band on it.

“What the hell did you do to me Truth?” I asked in shock. “I simply sealed your powers as Edward Elric. HeHe. I guess doing so also returned you to your original human form aka Allan Ferris. HAHAHA!” laughed Truth.

“NAHAHA!” I laughed at the Void Dweller who was visibly shocked at my reaction even without most of a face. “What so funny?” it asked a little ticked

“You’re stupid. I don’t define myself by my Edward Elric character you idiot. I define myself as me that’s why I never fully took on Ed’s persona. So go ahead and seal away my alchemy and just know that I gained more power thanks to my friends and my family,” I explained with a smile.

“What powers do you have other than Arc of Embodiment, a Philosopher’s Stone, and a few magic techniques?” Truth asked with a smile.

I placed my hand out and started to recite the Baku’s release phrase summoning forth the keyblade. I also smash the air behind me and pull out my Di-sword. The Truth was shocked again as I cross my blades across my chest and look at it with killing intent. I then activated my semblance summoning my shadow army while I use Arc to weaponize it.

“Thanks to Luna I was able to find love in Equestria. Thanks to Lex I was able to move forward with my dream of helping the people in Equestria and helped me understand magic even more. Thanks to Adam I was able to walk my niece down the aisle on her wedding day. Twilight, Spike, Polearm, The Elements, and Shining Armor all gave me a chance to be a teacher again. And most of all thanks to Nat and Sora, I was able to overcome my own self-hatred and my personal demon!” I shout jumping up launching myself at the Truth bring my swords down as it converts to of the light orbs into light blades and blocks my slashes.

“What does any of that have to do with power?” it asked as the swords scratched sending sparks flying.

We went blow for blow as our blades clash in a fury of sweeps and slashes. I didn’t know how long I was going to last against Truth but I was going to give it as much hell as I could bring. We clashed back and forth as it fought me and my shadow hoard. Truth still wearing its signature smile the whole time. I continued to dodge its light blades and light blast while staring into where its eye should be.

Void Dwellers are Displaced that have amassed enough power to leave their Equestria and wonder the Void. They’re basically on par with gods in their own right. I don’t care though I had my family, friends, and subjects back home to think of. Nat, Adam, and Lex were counting on me to bring Sora back through the Gate and that’s exactly what I’m doing.

“You don’t get it Truth. You wanted to know what the powers I’ve gained since I became Edward are but I never gained Edward’s power other than alchemy and the Philosopher’s Stones. The thing is, I may have taken on his look and name but I was never Edward. I was always Allan and as for my power. MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE THAT POWER!” I yelled.

“CRIMSON FLAME DRAGON STRIKE!”

A burst of red fire came from my blades and rose upward transforming into a massive dragon made of flames.

“Crimson Lighting Tempest!”

While Truth was distracted by the dragon coming for it I jumped up and brought my heel down connecting it with Truth should be face. Sending straight down into the awaiting shadow army. They immediately started to have a free for all with the Truth. Not long after, the fire dragon struck where the Truth landed burning everything to ash. I’d landed a ways away. The Truth came out of the red inferno and toward me as I took up another fighting stance.

“You have grown strong Crimson Sage,” Truth said as it snapped its fingers causing another series circles to pass over me returning me to my Edward Elric form. “You would give your life for those two over there and the ones on the other side wouldn’t you?”

“Yes, I would. They’re my family after all. Even if they ended up rejecting me and if I met my old family someday, if they're still alive I’d do the same for them,” I say as I reseal away my weapons.

“You pass with flying colors. Come on we need to go see those two over there,” Truth said as we walked over to the Diclonius sisters. “I’m sorry Allan, I had to see if you were ready to have access to the full power of the Stone of Compassion.”

“What are you talking about?” I ask cautiously.

“The seals I placed on you were meant to restrict your Stone of Malice solely. When I saw your demon from I was skeptical that it was you in control. Now that I know you truly have conquered your demon I'm giving you access to the stone I gave you when you were last here,” Truth said with its toothy mouth. ‘Gods it’s creepy as all hell.’

“What’s the exchange?” I asked stopping for a moment.

“No exchange as you already paid the toll last you were here, with your life as I human. When I sent you back to Equestria, that toll was not going back to your old world. The toll for the stone was living as a human. Of course, You can still turn back into a human if you separated your stones from your body, but that would mean giving up your immortality and being with your precious Luna. You don't have to worry about dwindling soul power either whether from using the stone’s or creating Homunculi. You will always have a constant supply of them from the Void when you need new ones, so long as you’re wearing the Void Stone,” the Void Dweller says as it walks toward Nat and Sora.

“What can I do for Sora?” I asked with worry in the back of my throat.

“Absolutely nothing. You have done all you can by bringing them here to meet me. Opening the Gate is the only thing you can ever do for those who wish to see the Truth. They must pay their own tolls now. As missing organs or limbs were enough from you while you were Human, but that is no longer the case. I’m not a being for apologizing but it is the Law of Equivalent Exchange that governs this part of the Void and it must be followed by those who come here for something. Now come,” Truth says in its usual voice as we began to come upon the Gates and the sisters.

‘Nat & Sora I’m sorry but it looks like I won’t be able to do anymore. At least until we return.’

I quickly rushed over to my sister as Ed, or I guess Allen as his original name is, started to fight against Truth. I was really worried about him considering how much he stressed how strong Void Dwellers are. I can only hope he could either hold it off or convince the entity to let us go through with this.

I ran up to my little sis, noting that her appearance is actually that of her new body. She was still just staring at her portal, so I ran up to her front and gently shake her shoulders.

“Sora? Sora, wake up.” I say, stressing to keep my voice calm. She doesn’t react so I try to think of something else. I go through my magic powers, my Sensory Link not working, my Wind not fazing her, not even some of my dark magic was affecting her.

I then get an idea. When I ‘woke up’ here, I got a weird feeling in my head, kinda like when the DNA Voice first appeared. I focus on the feeling in my head and am able to visualize what looks like a web, with one bright pink and silver thread leading to an orb of energy. I guess that is my connection to other Dicloni as the queen, almost like a hive mind. I focus my mind into the link and am able to break through some kind of fog that was around the orb.

A couple seconds later, some light comes back into Sora’s mismatched eyes and she blinks a couple times.

“Nat?” I smile and hug my little sister with a smile. Sora looks to me for a second before returning my embrace.

“Hey, Sora,” I say with a smile, breaking the embrace. She smiles up at me, noticing the portals in front and behind us.

“Hehe, so, looks like Princess Luna was more correct before your date then you’d admit.” She says. I raise a brow and looks to my portal, noticing the area that is marked as Lovers and I end up blushing brightly.

“Why? Just, why?” I say exasperation. I can’t complain any longer as there is a small explosion in the distance. I think it could the distance in this damn void.

The two of us look over and see Truth fighting….Ed?! He didn’t look like Edward Elric anymore. Is that what he looked like before he was displaced?

“Is that Ed?” Sora questions, eyes wide as we see him using his Keyblade, his Di-sword and his Semblance to fight that silhouette of a creature, and actually seemed to catch it off guard.

“Sorta? I guess that is Allen, who Ed was before he was displaced. Though, I am pretty sure he is the same man anyways.” I explain as the duo stop their fight and talk for a bit. I couldn’t hear them, but considering Truth’s sadistic smile, I was a little worried. As the duo approached, I subconsciously placed myself in front of Sora and summoned my Maguilty aura around myself.

“Well?” I ask Truth, and blank glare present on my face.

“Well, what? You two are the ones that came to me for help and I know you know the Law that governs my world. So, tell me what you want and I’ll tell you what you must exchange in order to have it. Though I must say, I’ve never seen one soul split in two the way you and your sister’s has. Now tell why it is that you’ve come or leave,” Truth says crossing its arm as is kept its smile the whole time it spoke.

I look to Sora who can seem to read my mind in spite of us not using Telepathy.

“We’re here to separate our soul completely, so I can live in a new body. Our soul connection is already fading so if we don’t complete the transmutation, I vanish back into Nat’s head and heart.” Sora explains.

“And I refuse to let that happen. So take whatever you want, I don’t care as long as my sister gets to live.” I state.

Truth gets right in my face with its smile and staring dagger from where eyes should be. “There are two way to do this but seeing as your sister never had an original body to return that only leaves the one option. Normally all you’d have to do is offer up your Gate for her body if she had one to return. But this time you’ll have to give up everything that binds and connections you two together as one entity to become two.”

I gulp as he explained that. The question is how much does he mean by that. We were already planning on splitting our soul, but would I lose Sora’s memories? Would I lose our mental connection?

I glance at my little sister as she holds onto the side of my shirt and shake my head. Even if we lose our connection, that will just make her like Adam and Lex. We aren’t connected, but we are still family. I sigh and nod my head, looking back to the silhouette before me.

“What do I have to do? I assume sacrificing my portal is at least a part of it but is there anything else?” I ask the Void Dweller.

“Not this time your highness. If I took your Gate then your sister would simply fade away. No, all you must do is leave through the Gates at the same time in order to sever your connections to one another. As a bonus, you will gain a small amount of universal knowledge and be able to perform alchemy without circles. Sound fair to you two?” Truth says as it walks past Ed. “Fair warning, it hurt like hell.”

Looks like we are getting an upgrade with this. I guess it’s fair, since everyone that has passed through their portal would end up getting that ability. I look to my sister and nod, the younger Diclonius nodding as well and walking towards her portal as I head to mine. I glance at her over my shoulder just before our doorways open up.

“See you soon Sora. I love you.” I say as the arms from the portals begin to grab me.

“I love you too.” I hear her say as I begin to get pulled into the portal, and I can only assume Sora is as well. I can barely hear as they both are slammed shut.

All of us had to cover our eyes as the light from the transmutation almost blinds us. I can only hope things are going well for my sisters and Ed on the other side. I am really glad I had Trace with me as he was able to use his reflector magic to keep the lightning bolts from the transmutation from hitting anyone.

I could sense that the magic in the air was being used up rapidly, and I was beginning to worry that the neutral zone wouldn’t have enough magic to sustain the transmutation. Then I sense something, like glass breaking against my soul.

I look towards the circle and use my Seith magic to see what is going on. What I see is both hopeful and terrifying. Nat’s and Sora’s soul was split in two. Looks like it’s my turn.

I focus on the smaller portion that I could tell was Sora with my magic and keep her stabilized as she leaves Nat’s body and towards her own. The transmutation was taking some of the strain of keeping them both stable, but it was still very difficult for me to help out. I am not sure how long I had to use my magic for when Sora’s soul finally bonded with the new body.

I deactivated my magic as the circle suddenly bursts, covering the area in a cloud of dust and obscuring everyone’s view of the trio.

“Come on Ed. I know you won’t let us down.” I look over to my brother in shock as he mutters this. Even after all that bull, Ed put him through with his eyes, Adam still had faith in that alchemist.

There was a tense couple of seconds as everyone enters the throne room with worried painted on all their faces, but none more so than Adam, Dusk, Ed’s wife, the pokemon and myself. I shake my head and use a small amount of wind magic to make a breeze to blow away the dust cloud.

Once the cloud is blown away, all of us see as Ed is on the edge of the circle, laying on his stomach while Nat was laying next to Sora’s body. I am not sure how long all of us were waiting there for, when Chance and Selene rush towards their trainers, quickly followed by Topaz, Artemis and Pandora.

“Nat, Sora, wake up!” The Zoroark all but yells, carefully laying Nat’s head in her lap while Artemis does the same for Sora.

“Hmm, five more minutes Selene.” I can barely hear Nat mumble that. The response was immediate, Adam, Dusk and I rushing to my sisters as Ed’s Luna and Twilight rush to the downed alchemist.

“Nat, snap out of it!” Dusk says, shaking her girlfriend's shoulders.

“The … Soul Stone… give it… to… Sora… NOW!” shouted the huffing Ed as his head lay on his wife lap. I remember the next part of this and grab the soul stone from around Nat’s neck and rush to my youngest sisters side and clap my hands, blue electricity sparking out as I use my own alchemy.

I place the stone in the middle Sora’s chest and can feel as the stone begins to merge with the child’s body. I watch in terrified fascination as the soul begins to merge with her body, deconstructing and reconstructing it with pink lightning sparking around her. The electricity didn’t seem to affect the Decidueye holding her, but I did see him grip his beak, so it was harming him, but he ignored it.

“Adam… Take these too… Lex. Now is the … best time to merge …. the Philosopher’s Stone… with Sorano’s body… with as little difficulty… as possible,” Ed says taking three vials of crimson fluid from his coat pocket handing them to my brother. “The rest is up to you guys and Sora.”

Adam nods and grabs the vials before looking to the gathered crowd around us.

“Penny, Twilight, we could use a couple more hands on this.” He says, Penny and Ed’s Twilight rushing over. He hands them both one vial before tossing the last one to me. At this point, the alchemic sparks have stopped around Sora’s body. The two other girls kneel next to me, I nod to them and we each take out the Philosophe’rs Stones from the vials.

The three of us take our positions around my sister and clap our hands as one, placing the stones on Sora’s chest. The triple transmutations were brighter than the one I did myself, so everyone but Adam had to look away. Good thing his mask works like sunglasses as well.

I watch in awe as the stones sink into Sora’s body and began to merge with her. I make sure to keep an eye on her magical pathways and see they are still fully functional with no signs of blockage, or other problems. I then hear something that both scared and brought hope to me.

Sorano was yelling.

“OWWW!! DAMN IT THIS HURTS!” She yells as the stones begin to deconstruct her again. I cringe as I remember how Qrow described his own deconstruction, and now Sora’s was triple the strength. I barely react as Nat suddenly gets up and uses me as support and grabs our sisters hand while Adam grabs the other.

“We’re here Sora! You can get through this! We can do it!” Nat yells as the reconstruction seems to speed up, Sora continuing to yells and curse.

‘Note to self, scold the seven-year-old for her language later.’

The three of us continue to just hold onto our sister as the transmutation continues, before I notice something I was expecting. An ouroboros tattoo began to appear on Sora’s right shoulder as the sparks from the transmutation began to die down. Once the sparks finally stop, all of us just wait with bated breath as my little sister pants in exhaustion.

“That….that sucked.” She says, finally opening her eyes. I can’t help but feel a little happy that I am not the only one with mismatched eyes now.

“Happy Birthday kid. How’s the body feel other than the immense pain you're in, of course?” Ed asks as he and his wife join the main group. “Gonna have to have a certain pink party planner do her job when we get back.”

“Same,” Nat says. I laugh a little at this and snap my fingers, summoning a change of clothes for the still naked child. It was actually a child version of the Cross Academy uniform from Vampire Knight. She tries to sit up before almost falling back down with a groan. Chance runs over and supports her so she can sit up.

“Here sis, let me,” I say, helping her get dressed. I saw Nat looking over the others and hear some feet moving from one spot to another. I glance over my shoulder and see Nat had sent all the boys aside from Adam to the back of the room with her Vectors.

It took a bit, but eventually, I managed to get the outfit on her before Artemis and the other pokemon come over and begin to help their trainers to their feet. Nat got up with a slight stumble, but Sora had to be supported by Topaz and Pandora. I guess it is going to take a bit for her to get used to her new body. I guess I can wait to give her her new magic.

“Hey, you ok?” Ruby asks Sora, coming over with the others.

“I...I guess? I feel really weird, like my whole body fell asleep for a couple hours and the obvious feeling of being attacked by a dozen tiny Lancers.” She says, Ruby and the others from Remnant wincing at the analogy, Qrow especially.

“Well, I believe my job is done here. Now if you would all hand over your watches so I can modify them,” Ed says as he stretches out his hand. I am about to grab mine before Adam speaks up.

“Yeah, no way in the Void that’s happening Ed.” I look to him with a raised brow, along with the others as he walks up to the alchemist. “Like it or not Ed, you’re a part of our family, so I won’t be letting you alter the watch to where I can’t contact you.”

I go wide-eyed along with the others as we all turn our attention to the blonde alchemist, who looks a little surprised.

“Luna told you what I was gonna do didn’t she?” Ed asked as he looked over his shoulder to his wife who was staring off into space. “I swear. If you guys are willing to accept me as family I’d be more than happy to do the same. I think I’ll leave it up to Sora to decide what type of family member I am though, as children often have a better understanding of this sort of thing.”

“Already done.” We all look to Sora as she lifts herself with her Vectors, or more accurately Vector as she only summoned one. “The four of us already talked about it a while ago. After everything that happened and what we knew about you, it seemed a little weird to consider you a brother or cousin. So we came to a sort of agreement.”

We watch on as Sora lifts herself over to Ed and wraps her arms around his waist, shocking the alchemist from the sudden contact. “After everything you’ve done for us, I say you earned the title, Uncle Edward.”

“Fine with me. I’m already a grandpa so why not an uncle. Thank you Sora,” Ed says returning the hug. “I’m for the hell I’ve put you all through this last month.”

I smile and look to my other siblings, motioning to Ed. The duo nod, though Adam was a little reluctant but I knew he needed to know about it.

“Ed, Luna.” The duo look to me as he continues to hold the Diclonius girl. “There is something else we wanted to ask the two of you. As we said before, you’re a part of our family, and Sora is the bridge that makes me and my siblings really related. We wanted to know if you would like to make it so you two count as well.”

“Oh, how so?” The princess asks, walking next to her husband. We all look to one another before Nat steps up to them.

“We want to know if you would allow Sora to have Elric as her maiden name.”

They were shocked at this question. Ed bent down and picked Sora up and held her in his arms giving her another hug while Luna joined in wrapping her wings around the duo. They were crying while smiling at the same time.

“I would love for Sora have my last name as her own,” Ed said as he let Sora down.

“Yes, welcome to the royal family my dear niece,” added Luna. I smile as I see Sora giving a smile brighter than Celestia’s sun, happy tears running down her face. I glance around, seeing everyone else in varying states of happiness, Qrow holding onto Ruby, this realm’s Celestia holding her sister, and everyone else just enjoying the show.

“Man, my family is weird. I have an older sister who is the queen of our species, a brother who is the captain of his own squad of the royal guard, another sister who is the master of her own guild, and now the princess of the night and former Minotaur king as my aunt and uncle.” Sora says with a laugh, everyone beginning to laugh at the absurdity.

“Lex before I forget I have one last gift for you. See if as I given everyone else something you are the only one left,” Ed says walking over to me and clapping his hands together he then places his hands on my temples like when he first taught my alchemy. “This may sting more than the last time.”

I feel the shock running through me and he was right, it felt stronger than before, but I managed to actually stay standing this time. Thank you training with the guild members. Getting his with all those magic attacks really helped build my pain tolerance. The sensations finally stop after a bit, and I stumble but manage to stay on my feet.

“Woah, that was seriously stronger than last time,” I mutter, rubbing my head. “So, what was that?”

“That was all the knowledge on Noble Phantasm of the Fate multiverse. Ranging from divine weapons to demonic scripts. Since you now poses alchemagic and Arc of Embodiment you can use them in tandem to recreate the Phantasm for your guild or you can forge your own,” Ed explain as he gestured with a smile. “Look, I know Fiore magic is great and all but you still have no true demon or holy magic in Fiore while in Fate you do. This is just in case you need an extra edge in your upcoming fights.”

“Wow. Thanks Ed. I guess that is true, especially since I can’t just walk into Tartarus and ask some demon to teach me something. Well, looks like it is my turn, Equivalent Exchange and all that.” I say, snapping my fingers and bringing up my Archive screen. I type in a few commands, those who have yet to see this magic intrigued at what I am doing. After a second, the progress bar appears above Ed’s head like last time and fills up, albeit slower than last time.

“And there we go. I figure giving you Super Archive would help you connect and sort through all the souls you have running around in your body.” I say, dismissing the screen.

“Holy Crap! Did you just give me everything on Fiore’s magic?” asked the shocked alchemist. “Talk about a head rush. I can actually do spellcraft now, sweet!”

“Don’t get too excited Ed. I only gave you the information about the magic. It is up to you to actually make the spells. Also just an added bonus I learned about, the Archive will do as its name suggests and keep a record of everything you have ever read, seen, heard, smelled etc. If I am right, that will also include the souls in your philosopher stones.” I explain. “Also you lack the info on the Grand Spells and my forbidden magic.”

“Nope don’t need those things, have enough of it in the Dark Library. Next time you won’t be able to be so lucky when using them on me. One last thing,” Ed say as a holds up his hand as a book appears. “I saw you using a Zangetsu knock-off, I know they’re not the same thing but as a Di-sword is produced by will your perception of reality into taking on a physical form may be by studying this manuscript you can produce a true zanpakuto someday.”

“Sweeeeeet. I wonder what mine would look like though, considering all the versions I have seen in Bleach.” I mumble to myself, taking the book and sending it into my Requip dimension for later.

“Hey, not to be rude or anything, but I think we should get out of here. The less time in the Everfree the better.” Oscar says, looking into the forest.

“Agreed. Come on everyone, lets head back.” Pyrrha says, heading to the door. The group begins to follow the huntress to head back to town. I look over to my sisters and find Sora being carried by Nat, much to her apparent displeasure if her pout is any indication.

I smile as I follow the others out last, before glancing at the castle once more and using my Nullification magic to get rid of all the remnants of magic we used while we were there. I smile and catch back up to the group.
