Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes, but the problem is... I'm constantly the source of the problem." Edward admitted. He slid over closer to her and flicked her on the forehead with a finger. "Look here, just now I caused you a problem. And I'll keep causing people problems if I keep letting them get involved with me."

"I suppose we're not." Edward stated. He reached his hand over to her belly and rubbed it saying, "I think I really want to take care of whatever is inside your stomach now. If these are really children and do not turn evil or something I kind of feel we have a responsibility to raise them since we somehow brought them into the world."

"You're not going to like it one bit..." Edward answered for her as he finished her thoughts. Deep within the pockets of his coat he suddenly felt the philosopher's stone in his pocket begin to vibrate. He did not understand why, yet he brought it out with cupped hands and noticed energy bubbling out of it.

Gazing up at Lina he said, "Can you get us a private car. Truth, you remember he gave us a philosopher's stone right? I think he can communicate with us using it. Use your pregnancy as an excuse to get us an empty car. I think he wants to talk more or possibly drag us back into the Gate again."

Edward had been talking very low at this point and looked around to see that all the other passengers weren't minding them one bit. Everything would be okay for now. He also did not see any military officers and hoped none were on the train since he had no idea what the state alchemists would do with him if they managed to find them. He needed to at least see Dr. Knox or someone trustworthy who was his equal in doctoral skills, otherwise, Lina could be in trouble later.

As they stepped into the car and shut the door a large shadow grew out of the ruby red stone and a creature with a single eye and huge pointy teeth appeared before them. "Truth..." Edward growled, "What do you want now."

"Don't patronize me Edward, I'm the creator of this universe. I just came to see how nicely your Lina-chan has blossomed. He floated over to her and looked down upon her and her big belly.

"I can sense them, the cute little Homunculi growing within you. I've come to warn you, the other Homunculi don't know of you, and I don't want them to. But as I've said you, Lina are the mother of the most awful creatures this world knows of." He smiled and turned to Edward and could see his eyes were burning with rage.

"Father, who is a part of me, and me, for he himself is a homunculus. And who is leader of the group the Ouroboros, is as Edward knows a Homunculus. He has a secret goal, which Edward doesn't know yet, but it's to kill every human being in this country and make this world a land of Homunculi. Father thinks he's doing it for me, but he's really doing it for himself. I want control back in my universe since it was stupid humans hundreds of years ago who took those Homunculus out of my being and made them into what they are, humanoid monsters with destructive tendency. I want them back because they are stolen knowledge from myself, knowledge that is too great. I've given Lina here many reborn human souls because I have a goal. I intend to defeat them if you cannot stop them. Lina's body is a ticking time bomb that will send the world into even worse chaos, but only if you don't play the role of husband and wife. If raised properly these child that can be curbed and they won't start attacking those who are of the Ourboros and the rest of this pathetic universe."

Edward listened as Truth blathered on. He was quite confused, but what he could understand was that something bad was going to happen if he did not take care of Lina. He would ask him to repeat himself once Lina drew her own conclusions.

"Yes, but the only way you will is if you keep both groups in line and stop them from destroying themselves and the world..." Truth said as a sneer appeared on its lips. "Truth watches and knows many things, so I'll be keeping an eye on you. For now though, I would wait twenty four hours before eating Lina. It's to your benefit."

Edward clenched the philosopher's stone in his hand and voiced, "This is just great; you expect us to live a normal life now that we're taking on reborn souls into our family."

Truth turned and looked at Edward, "That's the least of your problems... You're wanted criminals and I have no doubt the Ourboros are probably still looking for you in this altered universe, among other people."

He looked back at Lina once more and told her, "Good luck with the pregnancy and if the people around here can't help you there may be people you know wandering around. They'll probably not know you though and will be quite different than how you'd think they'd be." Truth then disappeared in a flash of light as he finished speaking to the two of them.

"Well, they're called Homuculi and their group is called the Ourboros." Edward corrected her. He pat her over sized belly and said, "I am kind of scared you have reborn souls in you or um Homunculi yourself maybe. Those things, as has been indicated are extremely dangerous. We don't really want more coming into the world, so I think I probably need to take care of you until I can find my brother to find a solution."

"They can drive a person insane because they cannot die easily and do things like break down buildings without any trouble, and murder people without any feelings towards the person. They are just plain trouble for the world to have." Edward told her as he clenched his fists. "That's why I need to get my body back and get rid of them because my troubles caused them to eventually surface in the world I live in and have friends in. They used to be in the background, not known except to the upper brass, but my meddling in their affairs to get myself one of their philosopher stones and stop their killings is bothersome to them."

He did not want to call Lina a freak, but under the circumstances she might actually end up like one if anything bad happened. He could not let her suffer because of his actions. He needed to help her.
