Etna took a small bite of her slice before answering.
"Yes. Baking a cake to celebrate birth of a new army and their leader."
She shortly paused to eat some more pie.
"You show definite promise, Anny. I have also invited one acquaintance for that - so I want you to test your skill against that quite famous pastry cook."

As Mr. Cobblepot fell screaming, more Big Green Hand action was prepared to catch the guy. But that proved unneeded as Batman beat him to it... Although, Joe somehow suspects simply falling from a stationary van (it was totally a van, the opening narration said so and everything) to the ground, would have hurt less than being dragged across the road. At the very least, it would have been less wear and tear on the Penguin's nice suit.
"I'd guess Low standards, just look at Guy Gardner. Honestly though, I have no idea. I'm just trying to keep the damage from spreading out too much and stray fire from hitting bystanders. He knows more about the overall situation than I do" That last bit said thumbing towards his favorite Rider, as he gently lowered the Van back to the ground from it's ten degree angle.
"Less insulting Batman, who works very hard, and more dealing with Mr. Dent running away... Without hospitalizing them or leveling the area. Or do you all think you can't take down a burn victim without extreme measures? Show newbie how it's done." Reason doesn't work as often as he'd like, so questioning their competence would probably have slightly better odds.

Ensconced against the furthest wall of the ship interior (by now practically abandoned, as it were), the pallid, all-too-gaunt-looking youth in the corner finally stirred from his reverie, looking up after what had seemed to him like several eternities of slow, dreary contemplation. Everyone else had gone by now. He could hear the gunshots and the screech of swerving tyres in the street below, the sound of cracking tarmac and police sirens and Lantern Rings, all melding together to form a jarring medley of justice.
Part of him told him to stay right where he was. What was the point of getting involved? They didn’t need his help. Judging from the urban environment, the ongoing car chase and the lack of any overtly violent light shows, whatever happened to be outside would be no match for the haphazard, assorted smorgasbord of powers that this Brotherhood wielded. It would be over in a matter of hours, and then he could follow them to the next world, keeping to the back of the group and never speaking to anyone unless absolutely necessary. He wasn’t doing this for them, after all.
But that was what he had told Marvelous. And look how that had turned out.
...
Straightening up somewhat after several seconds, Knight paused for a while, as if in the final stages of dull thought – then he sighed quietly, and exited the craft, moving to the edge of the roof with slow, trudging steps.
He guessed he was doing this for them. If not for them… then for himself, or for whatever innocence that still mattered in the tattered wreck that was the multiverse. It was a pointless gesture, really - especially for him, a being that now quite literally survived on a mixture of hate, anger and despair. A deadly cocktail, only tempered to equivocation by the sheer amount of apathy being mixed with it every second. He knew what he had become.
Then again, his entire life had been rendered pointless a few hours ago. He didn’t really have much to lose.
Taking a deep breath, the RinRinShi stepped to the very edge of the rooftop, letting the tip of his worn white sneakers hang into the night as the cool, cold Gotham air filled his lungs. It was a pointless motion. He did not need to breathe anymore – but it let him pretend. It let him pretend that he was still human, let him go against the color of his blood and the dead pallor of his skin.
Perhaps he would pretend, for now, to be a hero.
Knight closed his eyes. Leaning forward, he let himself fall over the edge head-first, tattered coat streaming behind him in a trail of fluttering red as he shot downwards, unflinching. Lit windows whipped past his face in a blur of yellow. His black hair tangled wildly in the air, pressing right over his forehead and back against his scalp. His eyes flicked from side to side, calculated, noted the fallen van and the police cars and the giant green energy hand all in the same instant – then, at the precise moment, he kicked off from the side of a ventilation unit and shot towards the scene with astounding accuracy.
Violet flame and gambolling sparks of black energy arced around him as he called on the power of his Confrontation Ki, willing it to aid his movement and speed his body - then he flashed downwards in a miniature crack of thunder and lightning, landing straight in the middle of the street in a perfect crouch and a burst of purple-black fire, which quickly dissipated into nothingness as he stood up. Right next to the van, as it were.
He hadn't planned it for effect. Overly dramatic entry just seemed to be the way he worked.
Turning around, Knight observed the scene with his usual impassive look, gazing from person to person with barely a spark of interest in his dull eyes. Thin wisps of smoke curled up from the tarmac all around him and up past his face, marks of his most recent flashy entrance.
He didn’t even give the Batman a second glance.

The sudden crashes made August reflexively hug against Mary's leg even as he continued watching, impressed by the crime-fighting spectacle unfolding in front of them.
When the new guy started insulting everyone's competence, August made an annoyed face and casually tipped a lamp-post over on him.

John sighed.
"I'll cut the crap since you've faced weirder stuff, but we're from different universes and we're chasing a guy who wants to become a god and trying to stop him from absorbing the physical embodiment of greed. For now, I'm gonna catch your old pal Harvey Dent. Transform."
After the transformation, John tore off after Dent at super speed.

"How do you know about Guy--" Batman simply stared at where John stood for a few moments. He didn't even react to Knight's dramatic landing. He simply stood for a few seconds, connecting the dots, before he narrowed his eyes. "The Imperium? Why are they here?" he said out loud to no one in particular.
The back doors of the van were busted open as Toph walked out of it with a big grin on her face. "We've been here five minutes and I already like this world. We should go to places like this more often!" she said, pointing at the van with her thumb. "You guys don't have to worry. I knocked out the guy controlling that... thing. Piece of cake!"
It didn't take long before John caught up with Two-Face. The ex-district attorney was running through another alley, his pistol still in his hands, and once he heard the sound of John approaching, he began to shoot wildly at his direction... for a few seconds, before he bumped up against a small wall that had appeared out of nowhere. "I'm sorry, but you're not going anywhere." said Alicia, as she floated down from one of the rooftops, a ball of water in her left hand and a ball of fire in her right one.
"Another freak?!" Two-Face said, shaking his head. "Listen, lady, I don't have time to play games. Stealing that van probably got Greed's attention, and that's all that I need. So, step aside."
----------------------------------------------
"Wait, a baking contest?" Mischief said, resting her piece of pie on the plate. "I'm sorry... Etna... but isn't that a little bit too... not important? I may be wrong, but there's still people out there who pose a threat to our lives. And I still need to punch that guy in the face before I do anything else."
-----------------------------------------------
Havoc's eyes narrowed once Oleg mentioned the homunculi. "Why should I trust you?" he said, scratching his chin, one hand behind his back- obviously reaching for his pistol. "For all I know, you could be that... how did the Boss describe him?... pineapple haired freak that can change his body."
-----------------------------------------------
"Amestris?" Ty Lee said, raising an eyebrow. She thought about it for two seconds before throwing her screwdriver and bandanna away. With a smile, she walked up to Falkon, slinging her arm around his. "Sure! Let's go, we don't want to keep Roy waiting!"
Roy scoffed, placing a hand on Linkara's shoulder. "I appreciate it, but you're still injured. I can't allow you to go to the battlefield in this state. I'm sorry, Lewis."

John dodged around the bullets, claws locking into place.
"Hey, didn't your mom ever tell you to respect a beautiful lady?"
He slashed, the razor wind cutting Two-Face's guns into small chunks of metal.
"Now, wanna come quietly?"
Anny looked between Mischief and Etna before standing behind the homunculus and wrapping her wings around her.
"...Mistress... if I do this, will you guarantee protection for us? From... well, him?"

"Heh... I knew you'd say that..." Lewis said, whipping out his GPS. He then smirked. "I thank you for your help, but this is my fight as much as it is yours." He said. He then pressed a few buttons and soon a gray wall appeared. He went into it, then the wall disappeared.
Soon, Nicholas and Homura arrived. "Hey! We ready?" Nicholas asked Roy.
Soon, a gray wall appeared on the rooftop where Two-Face and Alicia were. "Howdy there, mind if I beat you up?" Lewis asked Two-Face.

Helmets, they save lives. Or at least prevent Not-So-Friendly-Fire concussions. The lamp post bonks off Joe's helmet head. "Yeesh, surrounded by sarcasm and apathy but I can't join in. The Golden Rule is such a lie."
Treat others as you'd like to be treated and all that. Joe is fine with some light sarcasm returned his way, but he somehow doubted August would appreciate having lighting fixtures dropped on him. Not that Joe would ever return that particular favor, that'd just be mean.
"All I know about the Imperium is that they are a bunch of jerks Batman, the newbie comments sent my way are unfortunately legit." This said as he went about repairing the lamp post. GREEN LANTERN POWER! Also good for city maintenance work.
Showing the wondrous skills of multitasking, he also forms a large scale PDA flipping through various pictures of newspaper headlines showing Guy Gardener making an ass of himself. Even in another dimension, there be Google, or a handy equivalent "It's not like you and Superman are the only ones the news covers. Maybe I can get Aquaman's autograph later."

Moerin - SPACE BATTLESHIP IWASHI, Sleeping Quarters"A pillow fight~?" The catgirl echoed, with the most devious catsmile layed upon her face. "My, what a wonderful idea, Rain~! Think fast!" And as though in perfect synchronisity, both Moerin's and Grey's pillows hurtled towards Rain and Anno like two soft, fluffy missiles.
Jolokia - SPACE BATTLESHIP IWASHI, Kitchen"Um... Yes?" Jolokia stared at Tachi, rather confused at his protestation. "Oh... Are you married? Should I call you Mrs.? I'm really sorry, Mrs. Tachi! I didn't know you were married!" "SILENCE!" A mechanical voiced echoed throughout the room as the strange Prinny raised its flippers to the sky. Unlike other Prinnies, it was wearing a red cape and a gold belt, and had two golden horn-like protubences emerging from its head, and most notably of all seemed to be made entirely of metal. "See me as I am, no longer afraid of anything! I shall become the ultimate overlord, ruling as the world's most supreme being! For now the immortal Moloch the Immortal has been reborn and ressurected as the world's most supreme being, the ultimate being of supremecy the world shall be ruled by! Behold, for I am now NEO METAL MECHA MOLOCH! And all shall bow bef- Alright, who the hell are you?" The Prinny stood in place and rubbed its optical receptors with a metal flipper, clearly not expecting to be faced by a 5 year old composed primarily of an amalgam of sea creature DNA, a crossdresser and the single least intelligent valkyrie that could possibly exist. "But... But this was supposed to be my glorious rebirth! How can its true glory be witnessed if the foolish fools who foolishly thought they'd defeated me aren't here to witness the glory? It... IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!"
Anise - SPACE BATTLESHIP IWASHI, Library"Hmmm," Anise had almost finished reading anyway, so there was no real reason not to spell it all out for Emizel. "You are a deceptively youthful looking male possessed of reasonably attractive features and a semi-androgynous appearance. In layman's terms, you are what master would refer to as a "shota". It would be rather dangerous for you to cross paths with her during any other time, but she's... Happy right now. Knowing her she'd probably try and violate you the first chance she gets." She had the feeling she was forgetting something, but... Oh right. "...Who are you, anyway?" she said, her eyes darting back to the book. "I can tell you're probably my only hope for intelligent conversation here, doubly so if your claims to owning this library are fabricated, so I would at least like to know your name."

Rain hissed and released her hold of Anno for but an instant. Any normal person would have seen nothing. Those who could keep up? The white-haired girl snatched the pillows out of the air, crimson lines tracing themselves along their bodies, and flung the pair of them back at their original owners in one smooth movement, Noble Phantasm pillows rocketing towards their destination. Nonlethal, but lightning fast and a reminder why you didn't engage someone with Knight of Honour in a pillow fight.
April, meanwhile, just ducked down into Meowrin's cleavage before going back to listening to the swallow conversation.

Might I inquire as to why you are so quiet? asked Naoto inside Kallon's mind.
"I'm not good with talking to people," he accidently said aloud, before checking himself and continuing in thoughts:
Do you think you could disarm this situation?
I feel that I can try
Kalloon's demeanor changes noticably, as he stands straighter with a hand to his hip, a calm look on his face.
"If I might be so bold, can you possibly allow him to speak before you pull a weapon on him? As far as I know, he is guilty of nothing, so you have no right to draw a weapon against him without any solid facts. Or do you pull a gun out on every oddly dressed person you meet?"

Jolokia seriously thought he was a woman. Well, that was a little unexpected. Still, it would be easy enough to correct the valkyrie, "I-I'm not-" Unfortunately, the trap was cut off by that strange prinny's rant. He couldn't help but wonder if this "Moloch" was related to Mojo Jojo. Or if they at least learned to speak from the same source.
In any case, while his Disgaea knowledge was nowhere near as thorough as some of his friends', Tachi knew that prinnies tended to explode. Desco and Jolokia could probably survive that sort of thing, or as Anise had pointed out, could easily be ressurected if they were to die. He on the other hand, wasn't particularly keen on dying, or becoming a demon. With all this in mind, he took a step back and moved to put Jolokia between himself and the robo-prinny.

Iwashi
Anno frantically raised an arm and shut her eyes in an attempt to shield herself from the oncoming threat of pillows. But they never hit. Opening her eyes, Anno saw Rain grabbing the pillows for the briefest of seconds, at incredible speeds. Noble Phantasm pillows... Anno had no desire to get hit in the face with pillows. Scooting back and pulling the covers up, she made an attempt to hide herself behind Rain, who was better equipped to defend them from the pillow barrage that could come.

"Cake is important," proclaimed Etna in a surprisingly ominous tone of voice, finishing her slice. "Charade of Dai Shocker is fun too, but right now I say cake and there will be cake. Afterwards, I will go back to playing them, you are free to come and try to get that punch in."
"My name is Oleg, or Adannor in some circles, and no, it's not at all like the usual alien abduction," calmly replied Oleg to Magi first.
The change in Kalloon's personality didn't escape his eye. Must be shard overtaking. Though looks benevolent.
"Now, now, calm down," he said, with the same calmness. "While it pays to be paranoid when the "pineapple freak", Envy, is around, he would have taken form of somebody you know, not a random stranger, wouldn't he?"

Magi was even more confused, and slightly worried. He slowly backs away, hoping to put some distance between theirself and the other three, in case a fight breaks out. He wants to figure out what's going on, sure, but if a fight starts...Oleg and Havoc look really strong, and he's really, really weak physically and doesn't want to risk getting hurt, not in this unfamiliar world. At least, that's what he thinks.

Two-Face stared at the two newcomers and the pieces of the gun on the floor. He raised his hand, almost as if he was ready to surrender, but quickly reached for his belt and pulled out another pistol. "Two guns, bitch!" he yelled, shooting at Lewis.
Batman, however, wasn't paying attention to Joe anymore. In fact, he had ran after John and Two-Face, leaving the Green Lantern talking to himself. Toph stared at the floor and scoffed after John finished talking. "Newbie One, you really gotta learn how things work over here." she said, closing the back doors of the truck as the police officers cuffed the getaway driver and the Penguin.
-----------------------------
"Well then..." Mischief said, standing up. "I hope you enjoy your little competition, honey. I'm going to stay here. Wait for the real problems to show up."
-----------------------------
Havoc's expression didn't change, and when Kalloon mentioned a gun, Havoc simply smiled. "I don't know what you're talking about. I was just going to grab something." he said, pulling out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He glanced over at Oleg, the smile disappearing from his face. "And do you have any information on the Colonel?"
-----------------------------
Roy stared at where Lewis had stood a moment ago. "Dammit!" he yelled, pulling up his GPS and sending a message to John. "Lieutenant! Lewis has teleported himself to Gotham. Keep an eye on him- he's injured. Stop him from doing anything stupid!"
He glanced over at Flanker, Falkon and Ty Lee (who had just arrived on the bridge). "... the Ha'tak is already on it's way to Amestris and should be arriving there in three minutes." He then noticed Falkon's new set of armor, and raised an eyebrow. "What exactly are you wearing?"

Lewis dodged from the bullet, though it hit him just on the arm. He held onto it with his other arm. Shit. He's not in a good position to fire. He had an idea. Two guns, but how many targets? It was risky, since Lewis would have to trust that John and the others can confuse Two-Face and be forced to prioritize his targets, allowing Lewis a good shot to line in. He kept dodging, trying to find a place to guard himself.

"Power armor." Falkon said, his voice a little muted by the armor, "Ty Lee made it for me!"
"How precious." Griga hissed.
"Say, Kid, what'do you say we join in the fight?" Mary asked, "I know you can handle it!"

Joe calls after Toph before she's too far to listen (outside of deliberately ignoring him anyways), "Is there a Brotherhood Pamphlet or something? You can skip 'The Brotherhood can verbally dish it out, but can't take it', I already learned that one." He couldn't blame Batman for running off to deal with Bat Criminals instead of listening to Joe answer his Bat Questions.
The newbie lantern finishes repairing the street light, then gets to work clearing out the ice and stone spikes Mia and Toph had made that would just ruin the commute to work for Gotham's citizens if left behind.

CLANG!
One super-speed swipe of the tiger claws later, Two-Face's second gun was also in chunks of metal on the ground.
"You miscounted."
Anny looked hurt at Mischief's comment.
"Look, Mischief... it's the leader of a new army. This is a first impression, and Mistress wants this person to have a better impression of her than Dai-Shocker."
She turned to Etna, wings folding up and ears flattening out to look less threatening.
"I want a guarantee that when Mischief goes to punch him, she'll come back to me intact."

Grey
Eyes widening at the speed of the feather filled projectiles, the mage scarcely had time to even blink before one of the things rammed into her side. Somehow, the force of impact actually sent her spinning airborne and out of breath.
Jolokia
"It's a metal Prinny! And it's not saying 'dood'!" Desco exclaimed, remembering exactly what happened last time something like this happened. She knew she had to force the thing to comply with Prinny Rule Number One before Val noticed it, else the vampire would spend hours and days of shenanigans to try to make it accept the verbal tic. At least this one talked, so it should be easier...
"Prinny!" Pointing at the thing with her other hand on her hip, Desco looked serious. "In the name of Big Sis, Desco demands you say 'dood' at the end of your sentences!" Though the girl was completely serious, it looked a bit comical to say the least.
Emizel
"...One of those girls again?" Heaving a forlorn sigh, the green suited demon muttered something about his peace and personal space. "And as for my name, I'm Sir Death Emizel." This was said with a sort of quiet pride, much more subdued than his previous self's boast. "I'm probably the one that guided your soul into Hades in any case."

Etna straight up facepalmed.
"Girls. Just get it into your heads: you are immortal. Masjora can harm your physical body, but that will be merely a momentary inconvenience. That's the guarantee: if anything happens, you merely return home."
She stood up.
"And it's not some first impression crap. There will be cake because I want cake. THAT is the attitude of a demon! Not some sitting in a house and being afraid. You want to punch that guy? Get up, dial the destination and go punch that guy! If he kills you - come back and at least watch Brotherhood kill him!"
She took a breath, calming down from the tirade.
"Be demons, my pets. Forget fears and concerns of mortals that you were."
"Yes. But it's not as urgent," Oleg replied calmly, not caring much about the vanishing smile. "What IS important is that somebody is continuing the homunculi's plan to turn entirety of Amestris into a philosopher's stone. For that he needs a sacrifice of five powerful alchemists. I am here to first make sure that Elric brothers are safe. Can you please help me on that?"

"And by that, I mean you have to stop complaining." Toph answered, staring at the police officers pushing Cobblepot into the car. "Seriously, all I hear you say is blah blah blah I don't like this blah blah blah you guys aren't being fair blah blah."
Two-Face stumbled back, this time trying to figure out what he could do. He once again reached for his pocket, but a batarang flew from the rooftop and hit him in the hand. Batman ran past Lewis, jumped down from the rooftop and made a graceful landing by punching the two-faced criminal right in the face, a blow that sent him stumbling against the wall. Alicia took this chance to flick her wrist and grin as a stone hand came out of the wall and grabbed Two-Face, holding him in place.
"I need to talk with you." Batman said, pointing at John, as Two-Face tried to break free. "But first, you have to tell me where's your commander. He called himself Viktor- visited this place a long time ago."
Roy slapped the back of Griga's head. "Quiet." he hissed, checking his GPS, and sending a message to Oleg. We'll be teleporting to Amestris in two minutes. Have you found anything?
"Well, if you ask me, I'd say it fits him." Ty Lee said, crossing her arms. "I read all the manuals this place has. This armor can protect him from anything, even something called... uhm... radiation. I think."
Mischief looked down, frowning. "... I'm sorry." she said, shaking her head and placing one hand on Anny's shoulders. "I let my... mortal fears... get in the way of your fun, honey. It won't happen again. Now, I think there's a cake that needs to be done."
Havoc pulled out a lighter, and glared at Oleg. His attitude was similar to the one Roy adopted when someone new appeared- he was clearly analyzing Oleg, trying to find out if he was lying. As he placed a new cigarette on his mouth and lit it up, his analyzing eyes moved over to Magi and Kalloon.
"I'll get you three to Hawkeye." he said, turning around. "Follow me." he motioned with his hand and proceeded to walk forward, expecting the three of them to follow. He didn't walk very much, as he soon stopped in front of an inn located right next to Central HQ. He didn't go for the front entrance- instead, he went for a steel door in the back, and knocked on it three times.
An old woman opened the door, and one could easily say she was the inn's owner. "May I help you, young man?" she said with a kind smile.
"Yes, I'm looking for my dog. He ran away a few months ago." Havoc answered with a smile.
The old woman nodded towards the three travelers behind Havoc. "Are those your friends?"
"They've seen the dog, actually. Don't worry about it, they care about the dog as much as I do."
The old woman nodded and stepped aside, allowing Havoc and the travelers to enter the inn. They were entering the "backstage" of the inn, where the drinks were being prepared, and after walking in the middle of people mixing ingredients (who didn't even look at them), they walked up a set of stairs, opened a trapdoor and entered the second floor of the inn. The room they entered appeared to have been some sort of rest room for the workers that had been turned into a base of operations. One wall was filled with radio equipment, and a young man with short black hair, wearing the same uniform as Havoc, could be seen operating it.
The other wall had a billboard containing maps of Amestris (some with circles over certain spots, some with X's, and one of them with a very ominous drawing of a transmutation circle over the country) and seven collections of drawings, reports, and more, each dedicated to one of the homunculi. Pride's collection had pictures taken of him with his "father", detailed drawings showing how his shadows worked . Right next to him was Envy's collection- this one had no picture, and instead, there were various drawings of the shapeshifter, some very rudimentary (one of them looked like it was drawn by a kid) and some very detailed. But the one thing that could be seen on all seven collections were pieces of papers with the word "MISSING" on them. Another man, this one with grey hair (and also wearing the same uniform), was inspecting one of the maps.
And finally, in the middle of the room, there were two people and a hulking suit of armor looking over a bigger map of Amestris. One of them was a blonde woman, wearing black pants, a white shirt, a brown jacket and a belt with two holsters for two pistols. By her side was a young blonde boy, wearing a long red coat and white gloves, and by the boy's side was the suit of armor, that seemed to be nodding along to whatever the woman was saying.
Havoc's opening of the trapdoor caught the woman's attention and she quickly pulled out one of the pistols from its holster, pointing it at the trapdoor. "Woah! Don't shoot! It's just me!" Havoc said, waving.
Hawkeye sighed, lowering the pistol. "I've told you before, knock before opening the trapdoor." She did notice the three travelers stepping into the room, and still kept her gun at hand in case they tried anything funny.
"Well, I got something you guys are going to love." he said as he dusted off his uniform, pointing at the travelers stepping into the room. "These guys have information on the Colonel and the homunculi. Looks like today is our lucky day, huh?"

Anny smiled and put a hand on Mischief's chin, tilting her head up and giving her lover a long kiss and a smile.
"I'll make you a cake, just for the two of us, when I come home."
The succubus turned to Etna, wings flared and tail swishing about as she leaned over, causing the apron of the maid outfit to fall down a bit.
"So, Mistress... when do we leave?"
John ran through a list of Brotherhood members in his head, unable to recall Viktor.
"Um... I don't know any Viktors, sorry. If you're looking for Roy Mustang, he's not here right now, but I'm a lieutenant. ...I'm sorry, this is just so awesome, always wanted to meet you."

Flanker merely nodded and prepared himself mentally for the upcoming mission. It was almost guaranteed to be his most important one yet, and the fate of many hanged in the balance. Failure - even if it was minor - could not be part of the outcome. Still, the Brotherhood had prevailed against long odds before, and they would almost certainly do so again. The thought gave him courage.

Edward leaped up, slamming his hands on the table and making a large dent at the words "Colonel" and "humonculus". "Tell us," he said seriously, but unable to keep the eagerness out of his voice. It helped that the discussion over the map had been going nowhere, at least in his opinion.

On their way to the secret base, Oleg hang a bit behind Havoc and talked to the two newbies, explaining where the hell they were now.
{OOC note: we're going to RP that out later and just timeskipping now to not lose time on running two lines of conversation}
{Another note: presumably, Murray follows too}
At the entrance, Oleg smirked at the code, but passed silently, pulling out his GPS and sending a message back to Roy: "Yes, I've got contact with your old comrades. Havoc and Hawkeye."
Inside the room, the map with a transmutation circle attracted an interested glance, but Elric soon grasped his attention.
"Fine, Fullmetal. Homunculi are not here. They are being dealt with in far lands. But their new leader is coming here to complete the Father's plan. Roy is coming and he has sent me ahead. How much do you guys know about that?" he asked pointing towards the map with the circle.
Etna smirked. "Right now, then."
She snapped her fingers and a swirling portal appeared in the air.
