Caleb was very still as he watched the fight in his head. Though it wasn't really a fight, more of a very loud and threatening discussion. Hearing Setsumei he nodded, then realized that wouldn't work. 'Alright. Thank you Setsumei.' he replied back calmly. he still had teh feather safely tucked away in his pocket. He wondered if Cat remembered she had one or not.

Get out of my head, you b*****d! Get out of my body!! You said you'd keep them safe! So I lied. Deal with it, Boy Scout. Sacrifices must be made... I won't accept that! I'll never accept that. These are my friends you're going to kill, and innocent people! One guilty man in Sodom was enough to condemn it. Shut up! I've had it!
The fire blasted a huge pillar, ten feet wuide, an a mile long up and down, then it went out. The blackness retreated from Drako's skin and he began to fall.

"Inner struggles, Drako? I'm afraid that duel personalities bore me a great deal when they're so violent. Even if I can control the radius of your power, I'm growing bored of you altogether."
Again, he'd have to rudely rise from the bowing position before his Master. "My Master, I beg your forgiveness...both for constantly having to rise without permission, and for having to make my own decision here. But, I truly believe that not only I, but the children and yourself have had enough of this loon. My Lord, allow me to show you the true extent of my power."
He'd look back to the creature, then hold his right hand out. "Drako, you'd be wise not to take in the water. It's toxic." With that, the sphere and everything within it, which at this point would only be the creature, would be transported to an area far, far away where Kain's castle originally stood. Setsumei's power would only fade when the sphere containing Drako was several hundred feet below freezing toxic water. At that point, the sphere would disappear, and it was up to Drako to either back off or seal his own doom the next time they met.
"My Lord and Master...Caleb, Cat...I've removed this nuisance, though given you knew him children, I've spared his life this once. Should he arrive again I'll show no angelic mercy..." With that, he simply awaited new orders from his master. And, of course, these words could have only been heard in the mentioned three.

Drako returned, looking into the angel's face. "You hurt Caleb, and I wiull rip you limb from limb, skin you alive, and personally pluck every last feather from your wings. Not neccecarily in that order." Blackness covered his face. " For now, you're safe. But only because Caleb's close by." With that,m paper surrounded him, and he appeared before Cat, wherever she was, to apologize.

"The threats of inferior beings are nothing to me. I'll not harm the children given that unlike you, they've done no wrong. I'm quite fond of them, actually, and my Master treats them like royalty. You've come to save them from the good life...and you see me as the villain?" He'd chuckle a bit, though it was once more a mental chuckle. He really was going to make Kain and his damned brother suffer for what they'd done to him...wait, Kain? Brother?
"Caleb, Cat," speaking ONLY in to THEIR minds, "please do keep in mind I can find you wherever you go. I'll retrieve you should my Master ever wish it, but should a bad situation arise, please, I beg of you: Call out to me!" He'd then look to Drako and shake his head. "I'm done with you; any entertainment you posses has been drained." Finally, he'd look to Chaos. "Do as you wish...I've and ally to summon."
With that, he'd disappear in another blinding white light that's leave behind another black feather that'd burn up upon contact with the first tangible thing it'd touch. Now, finally, he could remember what the hell he was doing!

Cat landed on her backside on teh carpet near Caleb. Rubbing her head she blinked. "Really should get use to just appearing wherever people want me to be." she grumbled, looking around.

Death disappeared in a swirl and Riot came walking out. The swirl of black light hit him as he took a deep breath. "By the way i can reabsorb them whenever i please. That is why my mind is in control at all times. They're just twins that bicker with each other, i am like the older brother. Ill explain to the fullest extent later if you wish Setsumei." Maria polietly passed them all and turned everything back to normal touching the ground in the normal way. "My love maria, seems to be an -for lack of a better word- alchemist of the highest grade. Though she cant use it to hurt anyone, well not that she cant she wont. I need Caleb to fulfill my vision of a world without violence and his ability is of no threat to anyone because of who he is. I see in him great leadership, in time of cource. Cat i have taken a liking to and she is Calebs gaurdian who without i would not have my leader in training." He stopped taking another deep breath and headed over to hi favorite chair. He sat down hard and his butt hit a metal plate. Maria bursted into quiet laughter. Riot stood up and she walked over touching the pad and returning it to normal. Riot sat down and then maria fell into his lap saying nothing and looking at Setsumei with grey and black hues. "Any question while were having this chat?" He looked to everyone in the room. The crisis that was just averted was of o threat thus did not bother him, but security was now in question. He would have to fortify later, with Maria's help.

"Thank you for informing me of the situation my Master. I'm truly sorry for being so bothersome, but I despise being oblivious to the events happening around me." Though Setsumei wasn't there, he still had a mental link open between them all. Well, they could speak to him and he could speak back, but they wouldn't hear anyone but Setsumei's voice, making sure to keep conversations private.
"Alchemy is the ultimate tool of the Sinner. Assess, Deconstruct and Reconstruct. It sounds like your woman Maria has the ability to skip straight to the third step, which is rather remarkable. There are two others I know of that use alchemy...one you know quite well, and the other rarely uses it beyond the second step. This person I speak of is the same one I'm in the process of summoning. He'll allow you to think in peace by ridding this world of those vermin before they ever get a chance to strike again. My apologies for not having done this sooner..."
At this point, he was trudging through the mountains, trying to find a proper area to pull off the summoning. The summoning always required an area close to the clouds and rich in one of the four primary elements. He figured he'd eventually find a nice, high mountain, which was of course rich in...well, would one still call is Earth?

Maria looked up with eyes that smiled, rarely did she speak but Setsumei seemed worth the while. So she proped herself up and looked around. "I usually dont have to asses things because i know what there by feeling. Bats have sonar, but i have that too. Well in a way when i move i feel vibrations from contact with the ground. That gives me about a twenty foot diamter of information going about 10 feet in the air. Sadly when i fly i do have to asses. The second step of deconstruction is easily beaten. To construct something you have to clear away what was there before and/or bring in new materials to build with. In most cases those materials are already there in some way its just a simple matter of rearranging them. Though creation is the matter which everyone seems to concern themselves with. Side note did you notice in the older days of earth, most men were interested in cheating death? Now a days we want to create life? Those are where the rules come into play. I dont create/construct anything i simply move things from where they used to be to where they are when im done. Very very complicated stuff. In short i and Riot share the ability to move from one place to another. Except he can move himself and i can move material to alchemise. I mean there is a book i could recite for you to really explain this, but my speaking to you at all should prove my beilef in your intellegence. Ive just found ways to beat the second and third step by combining them; also i rapidly 'asses' whats around me. Its really a wonder i ever died." She turned to Riot and kissed his cheek.

"I can't say I care much for how you do it...you yourself, Maria, are no doubt some form of blasphemous science brought about by the aching heart of my Master. One can contain their soul within a golem body, just as one could use an artificial soul to power a real body. What the Master chooses to do and allow, is none of my concern though. You may be able to reconstruct, Maria, always bare in mind that deconstruction is a much quicker process"
Those words had been channeled to Maria and no one else, making sure ONLY Maria could hear him. Meanwhile, back at the mountains (specifically the Dragonridge Mountains)...

Maria smiled closing of her eyes. She opened them after tilting her head down so that she could see her hands. On the back of her hands there were large transmutation circles. Shes also had two different levels of transmutation circles on her palms. She whispered to him a voice that made birds stop singing for days out of sheer awe. "I am a homunculi. Jonas the sweet boy that he is tried to bring me back fully by sacraficing sin. I do miss sin he was the poet inside Jonas. Yet some how the gods saw it fit that his sacrafice could save me. So im sure you know what i am. Yet, there is more. It is said we have no soul's. We are nothing but caves with not fire, so that no man or woman would seek shelter in our hearts. Souls... It would seem mine was a pawn for so long. Kain started it really. His double led my love to hell, where my soul happened to be bound. Jonas trapped my soul in a sowrd. Though his betrayl released me from that prison. I cannot explain it near can i allow myself to remember; but my soul found its home in this body. So defying nearly all known laws of the subject matter i made it here. So you may saw what you want but do not say them to me. You will show me the respect i deserve. Especially since your master is in my care. I love him, just as i shall come to love you. You have found a home in this place; like i sister to you i wish to be." She smiled and Jonas did to. He could not hear the conversation but was aware of one. He assumed Setsumei and her needed to have a chat about something sometime, so this was that thing and time.

"You're in no position to expect much less demand respect from me, woman. I may not serve God nor the heavens any longer, but I am still a creature of far higher caliber than anything else that dwells upon this pathetic planet! If you are indeed a homunculus, I pity you. Never before have I encountered such an ignorant race...tell me golem, where is your ouroboros? Each of you creatures has one; it's the circle used to create your mock bodies! And tell me creature, what power do you poses? Is it the ability to use alchemy, a power no homunculus should be able to posses?"
For a moment, he'd begin to chuckle, and like a signature he'd begin to cackle after only a moment's more time.
"And what's the base my Master used to create you; WHAT IS THE ITEM THAT WILL RENDER YOU WEAK AND SICK SHOULD YOU COME NEAR IT? I know all about your kind, golem. You know Kain, yes? He's the greatest alchemist you could ever hope to meet! That creature that lurks in his basement...Tedd. It is the ultimate chimera, but he didn't have to use a base to create it. He created that creature as God made Man and Angels! He only fused the components of other creatures in to it, and as God gifted Man with your pathetic souls, Kain went a step further and equipped the creature with the ability to evolve! Oh, and his beloved Mother and Father? What the hell do you think they are!? HOMUNCULI! But, he reconstructed their bodies...and altered their minds. Those are indeed his parents, dug up from the grave. This brings me to a lesson you need to learn, Sin."
At this point he was still traveling through the anglic realm that lie between Earth and Heaven. Not purgatory, not space, but a world specifically for the angels. Still, he kept a perfect link with Maria.
"It is impossible to make a homunculi without equipping it with a ouroboros. Without it, the golem body would fall to pieces. But, it serves a secondary purpose, one almost as important: Without it, the alchemist could never implant a mind, much less a soul in to the golem. It's a rare case, but some of your kind have had souls, but using the ouroboros, the alchemist has tricked the creature in to thinking it's a soulless monster. I believe, without a doubt, that using Kain as a pawn, and that damned sword Masamune as well, Master Yurich was indeed able to implant your soul in to that body."
Setsumei had seen thousands of homunculi in his time. He'd implant the images and memories he had of them in to Maria's minds so his next words wouldn't be lost to her.
"As you can see, many of them were just puppets created from deceased humans to do the master's biddings. But, you could also see the ones that no doubt possessed personality. Personality is the sign of a soul! Without a soul, you'd have no defining traits! But, you can see how some masters used the ourobors tattoos to alter the minds of the golems, making them think they were without souls. Masters can do cruel things to their abominations...but I believe you'll only be a homunculus for so long. I believe Master Yurick simply wishes to find an honest host body for you to inhabit."
He'd sigh, a mental sigh Maria would be able to hear.
"I've been rude. I'm still not used to...befriending, much less caring about others. In the end you at least deserve my thanks for your hospitality, and for making my Master so happy. ...I can do something for you I stood before God and vowed never to do, if you so please. My wings will soon be torn from me anyways; another sin wouldn't make any the difference. Allow me to do what my kind does best: Allow me to create. I'll create, or in this case re-create your real body, Maria. If you or the Master so wish, I can add a few special traits to it, but I don't like the idea of you being an alchemic abomination that, whether you realize it or not, is so flawed. Please, speak with the Master about it. And please, accept my apologies. If you could also inform the Master I've begun the summoning of Kain's youngest brother, a creature whom has no free will, it'd be most appreciated. There's also someone here...I doubt this thing could break my barrier, but nonetheless, if he breaks my concentration, there could be terrible repercussions."

((Don't have a clue what's going on, need a serious update, but I'll fill in what I can as I go along. I'M BACK!))
Rick sighed heavily. He stood outside the wonderous doorway to what he knew almost as his home. The H.E.C. Great to be back, he thought. It took so long for him to fully heal, and he'd lost touch with the world, and now it was time to take it all back. One thing BURNED in his mind all the while. Revenge. He'd stop it nothing to get it, just like anything he wanted in this world. But it was what he wanted most right now. Second most wanted: His home. He stood outside the entrance laughing away demonically. His utter defeat could not be tolerated, he wasn't about to let it happen again. In, he walked, almost triumphantly. He was back for good this time.

Being that this place was Rick's, he obviously knew nearly every inch, every bolt, every weld, every everything. He even was cautious enough to make sure of obvious things like flying creatures and tunneling ones. But there was one secret entrance that only he would know of, and only he could access due to what his power was. So in he slipped, avoiding all detection, until he came across an interesting sight. Just like the first time they'd met, purely by chance, it was Cat. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this... How are you, my darling?" He said with electricity cackling between his fingers before they closed into a tight fist. "Did you miss me?"
