Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia.
June, x786.
In the training room inside the mansion on the lake, Winry hugged Edward and Alphonse, whose bodies were complete flesh and blood bodies with tears streaming down her face. Meanwhile, Den ran around the trio while barking happily.
At the same time, Alfonzo, Elicia, Sun, Saeko, Shizuka, and Rika smiled at the happy atmosphere surrounding the childhood friends while Maes, Roy, and Riza looked on with expressions of shock and disbelief. Pinako, on the other hand, was not stunned for long. However, due to her age, she was unable to run forward like Winry had.
Eventually, with tears in her eyes like her granddaughter, Pinako reached Winry, Edward, and Alphonse before joining the group hug.
"I'm glad to see everything went well." Pinako said, her voice trembling in excitement. "I'm sure Trish is smiling down at you from heaven."
Hearing the name, Trish, Edward and Alphonse could not help but see an image of a beautiful young woman with chest-length chestnut-brown hair tied into a low, side ponytail with bright green eyes and a kind smile wearing a lavender dress and a white apron.
"Yeah, she would definitely be smiling at us if she were here." Edward said with a nostalgic smile on his face.
"That's right." Alphonse nodded weakly. As he continued, tears began to well up in his eyes, as well. "At the same time, she would have been scolding us for doing something so reckless all those years ago."
As the group of four continued to laugh, cry, and chat, Maes, Roy, and Riza eventually snapped out of their dazes. Then, they too made their way over to the group.
"Congratulations, Fullmetal." Roy said in an even tone. "You finally accomplished the goal you had when you joined the military."
"Yeah…" Edward replied while wiping the tears out of his eyes with his sleeve.
"So, what are you boys gonna do now?" Maes asked curiously while smiling at the Elrics.
Hearing that, Edward and Alphonse exchanged glances.
"Well, I don't' think there is a reason to stay in the military anymore." Alphonse replied. Then, he turned towards his brother, searching for confirmation. "Right, Brother?"
"That's right." Edward replied. "We only joined to find a way to get our bodies back. And since that's complete, I guess I'll retire like Mr. Hughes."
As it turned out, only Edward had joined the military as an Alchemist Knight. Alphonse, on the other hand, only accompanied his brother on his journey. And the reason Alphonse never joined the military was simple, the state of his body. No one knew how others would react if they found out he was only a suit of armor. So, they decided not to chance it. It would have been horrible if he ended up as some kind of test subject, after all.
"Well then, I wish you good luck on your new life, boys." Riza said with a small smile.
"Eventually, after watching the group of seven chat for a while, Alfonzo decided that now was a good time to cut in on the conversation.
"Congratulations, you two." Alfonzo said while leading the ladies from Fairy Tail over to the group. "But I think there are some important things to take care of before you guys get too comfortable."
"Huh?" Edward exclaimed in confusion. "Like what?"
"Well, your bodies weren't your own for a long time." Alfonzo replied. "So, I think it would be a good idea to have them checked out. Plus, you'll probably need to go through some rehab, too. Especially Alphonse."
Hearing that, Winry, Pinako, Maes, Roy, and Riza turned their gazes towards the Elric Brothers. When they did, although they did not notice anything wrong with Edward, they could tell that Alphonse was pretty much skin and bones. So, they agreed with Alfonzo's suggestion.
"And as it turns out, we have some of the best healers in Fiore." Elicia said excitedly. A moment later, however, she grimaced before continuing. "I'm sure Miss Porlyusica will be able to diagnose you properly. And then there's Shizuka, too."
As she spoke the last part, Elicia gestured towards Shizuka, who tilted her head cutely when all eyes fell on her.
"Plus, we should probably get Al some clothes." Rika said playfully. "I mean, unless spending all that time in the armor made you one of those nudists I've heard about."
Immediately, Alphonse blushed in embarrassment after realizing that he had been naked while in the middle of all these people. On top of that, Winry had been hugging him the whole time.
Like Alphonse, Winry also blushed in embarrassment while quickly letting go of Alphonse.
"Hey, Granny, aren't you gonna let go, too?" Edward asked in bewilderment.
"What's' there to be embarrassed about?" Pinako asked while continuing to hug the boys. "It's not like I haven't seen it all before. I used to change your diapers, after all."
"Yeah, but I'm not a baby anymore." Alphonse replied in a flustered tone while trying to cover his crotch with his thin arms.
"You're still a baby to me, Al." Pinako said in a teasing tone. "At least you grew up, unlike your forever six year old brother."
"Shut it, Hag." Edward replied in an annoyed tone. "At least I'm not getting shorter by the year. I've seen pictures of you when you were younger, after all. And you were almost as tall as Winry."
Hearing that, everyone shifted their gazes between Winry, standing at 5'3", and Pinako, who was barely 3' tall, with disbelief in their expressions.
"Anyway, I'll make something for Al to put on." Elicia said with a smile. "Shizuka, can you check the condition of Ed and Al's bodies before we take them to Miss Porlyusica for the best recovery plans?"
"Uh huh." Shizuka replied with a nod, which made her breasts bounce with her movement. "Leave it to me."
With that, Shizuka skipped over to the Elrics before starting to examine them with her [Healing Magic]. Meanwhile, Riza could only look at the voluptuous blonde with envy.
"What do you have to eat to get breasts like those." Riza asked herself at a volume that only she could hear.
June 30, x786.
A couple of weeks have passed since Edward and Alphonse got their bodies back. And in that time, not much of note has taken place. There were a few things, however.
First, Edward and Alphonse decided to stay in Magnolia to undergo rehabilitation under Porlyusica's guidance. Though, they quickly came to regret that decision. Porlyusica's broom was no joke, after all. And with Edward's tendency to talk back, he received its love quite a bit in the time he spent with Porlyusica.
The other visitors, namely, Pinako, Winry, Roy, and Riza decided to leave after a few days. And while Pinako, Roy, and Riza went back to Resenbool and Crocus, respectively, Winry headed to Dublith to give Izumi, Edward and Alphonse's teacher, the good news.
Also, Edward and Alphonse decided that they would join Fairy Tail after they were done with their rehabilitation. Because despite leaving the military, they were both young men with kind hearts who liked to help people. And joining a guild would make that easier. And since they were familiar with quite a few members of Fairy Tail, the decision was easy.
Second, Alzack and Bisca decided on the date of their wedding, which was October 15, the same day as the the Harvest Festival. They both thought that getting married on such a festive day would make their special day even happier.
They also decided on their bridal party, too. Naturally, Alfonzo became Alzack's best man. Meanwhile, Bisca chose Erza, who invited her to join the guild, as her Maid of Honor. As for groomsman and bridesmaids, they chose Gray, Max, Lisanna, and Levy. Also, they decided to use the guild hall as the venue.
On another note, as soon as the ceremony was completed, the guild would jump right into the Miss Fairy Tail Pageant, and the rest of the day's festivities.
The second thing to take note of was Alfonzo and Cana's wedding. The date of their wedding had been decided, as well. And it would be December 31. The couple thought it would be a great way to close out the year. On top of that, the reception could also double as a New Year celebration.
Alfonzo and Cana had not decided on their bridal party as of yet, however. They did know that Alzack would be Alfonzo's best man once again while Elicia would be Cana's Matron of Honor, though.
However, none of the residents of the mansion on the lake were thinking about the wedding right now. Instead, they were all gathered in the living room and discussing who would accompany Alfonzo on his trip to the Blue Pegasus guild hall.
"Seriously, none of you want to go?" Alfonzo asked with an amused smile on his face.
"*Sigh* It's not that none of us want to go…" Elicia said while wearing a wry smile.
"Yeah, it's just Ichiya and the Trimens that are too much to deal with." Marin said while shivering minutely.
"Yeah, I don't know if I could keep from putting one of them in the hospital if they get too handsy." Ultear added.
"You mean for the second time, right?" Cana asked with a mischievous smile.
"That was an accident." Ultear said while looking away with a slight blush on her face.
"I think that would have been true if you had stopped after the first time you hit him." Mirajane said with her usual smile on her face.
"Yeah, but after chasing him the twenty feet that you kicked him away, and continuing to beat him up, the excuse of an accident is no longer valid." Lucy added while trying to stifle a laugh.
"How do you even know about that?" Ultear asked, her blush deepening as she did so.
"Ur told us." Elicia, Cana, Erza, Mirajane, Marin, Sun, and Lucy replied in unison.
Immediately, Ultear's expression morphed into one of shock. Then, after a moment, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
"Damn it, Mom, that was supposed to be a secret." Ultear hissed.
Meanwhile, Ur, who was cuddling with Gildarts in her office at the guild hall sneezed.
"Getting sick?" Gildarts asked with a smile.
"No, but I think my daughter is talking bad about me again." Ur replied with a shrug. "Anyway, how are things going with paying off your debt to the Sixth Sense Restaurant?"
In response, Gildarts looked away while smiling sheepishly.
Meanwhile, back in the mansion on the lake, the girls were laughing at Ultear.
"But seriously, am I gonna go on this trip alone?" Alfonzo asked.
In response, the eight girls exchanged glances before all their sights landed on Cana.
"Really, me?" Cana asked, looking quite betrayed.
"Well, we thought you'd wanna spend more time with Fonzie since your wedding is coming up." Elicia replied with a smile.
"Well… You're not wrong." Cana said before taking a swig from her flask. "But Blue Pegasus is even a bit too much for me."
No one could blame Cana, or any of the other girls for their reluctance.
"*Sigh* Fine, I'll go alone." Alfonzo said with a shrug. "At least there will be some eye candy to look at."
"What are you talking about?" Ultear asked with a frown "Are you thinking about getting another one? You haven't even settled things with the girls from Takanosu, yet."
By now, everyone knew that Alfonzo was interested in Saeko, Shizuka, and Rika. However, they were wondering what was taking him so long to make a move. But hearing about another girl, and this time from another guild, they could not help but think back to the mess Yoruichi caused.
"You're talking about Jenny Realight, right?" Elicia asked with a smile. "That up and coming model in sorcerer weekly. The one who is giving Mira and Karen a run for the most popular model."
As it turned out, after Mirajane surpassed Karen as the most popular model in Sorcerer Weekly, she went to Elicia in tears. Then, she pestered Elicia to make all the outfits and swimsuits she would wear when she did a photo shoot for the magazine.
Naturally, Elicia agreed. Especially since Karen was not against paying top dollar for clothing. On top of that, Elicia's Taylor Shop received even more business due to the free publicity.
"That's right." Alfonzo replied with a smile and a nod. "Even though I've heard she's just as fanatical about Ichiya as the Trimens, at least there's something good to look at."
Immediately, the flames of jealousy and competition began to burn in Mirajane's eyes. On top of her boyfriend looking for another model to gawk at, she saw Jenny as a real threat to her place at the top of Ishgar's modeling scene.
"I'll come with you." Mirajane said in a resolute tone.
Hearing Mirajane's tone, most of the girls were surprised. At the same time, they expected such an outcome. Meanwhile, Alfonzo and Elicia exchanged smiles secretly. They already knew how Mirajane would react if Alfonzo mentioned wanting to see Jenny. What they did not expect, however, is how Jenny would react to Alfonzo's presence after he showed up the next day.
"Are you sure?" Alfonzo asked, feigning concern. "You were so against it only a minute ago."
"Yes, I realized how lonely you would feel if you went alone for two months." Mirajane replied with a smile. "And I could never do that to you."
Immediately, all the girls rolled their eyes at Mirajane's shameless reply. Alfonzo, on the other hand, stood up from his seat on the couch, walked over to Mirajane, picked her up from her seat, and sat where Mirajane once sat while sitting her on his lap.
"Thanks, Mira." Alfonzo said as he wrapped his arms around Mirajane's waist and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll have someone to take a bath with in Blue Pegasus' hot spring, too."
"What?" Sun shouted in surprise. "Blue Pegasus has a hot spring? I love hot springs! I wanna go, too!"
With Sun's exclamation, the living room fell into silence while everyone looked at Sun with bewilderment.
"You didn't know?" Marin asked Sun. "But Pegasus Village was all over Sorcerer Weekly when they had it built a couple years ago."
"Was it?" Sun asked while tilting her head cutely. "I never read stuff about Blue Pegasus, though. I mean, it almost always involves Ichiya. And he makes me really uncomfortable."
The other ladies nodded in understanding.
"Not enough to keep you away from a hot spring, though." Marin said while nudging Sun with her elbow.
"Uh huh!" Sun replied with a nod. "I really like hot springs. I think it would even be able to keep me from beating up the Trimens if I get to soak in it every day."
"Perhaps I will go, as well." Erza said with a contemplative expression on her face. "I've never had the opportunity to soak in a hot spring. And if they are really as nice as Sun says, perhaps I won't have so much anxiety from meeting Ichiya."
"Yeah, you'll love it." Sun said with a smile. "Hot springs are the best!"
With that, the three who would follow Alfonzo while he worked at the Blue Pegasus guild hall were decided. And not long later, they all left to pack their luggage. They would be leaving the next day, after all.

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia.
June 30, x786.
While Erza, Mirajane, and Sun were packing for the two month long trip to Blue Pegasus, Alfonzo and the other girls decided to make a trip to the guild hall to hang out. While Elicia and the other girls were just going to spend time with their friends, Alfonzo was going to say goodbye to everyone for the third time this year.
"*Sigh* I can't wait until all this shit with building stuff for other guilds is over." Alfonzo said while shaking his head as he walked towards the guild hall with Elicia, Cana, Ultear, Marin, and Lucy. "I'm tired of being away from home for so long at a time."
"Yeah, at least this is the last one though, right?" Lucy said with a smile. "Then, you can get back to doing what a wizard is supposed to do."
"If only it were that simple." Alfonzo replied.
"Who else do you have to build for?" Cana asked curiously while pulling a bottle of vodka out of her storage card.
"The Village Hidden in the Leaves." Alfonzo replied, sounding tired as he spoke.
"You sound tired just thinking about it." Ultear said as she wrapped her arms around Alfonzo's right arm. "Is the job really going to be that bad?"
"From what Master Tsunade said, it probably will." Alfonzo replied. "Not only do they want me to build training chambers, but they want me to modify all their existing training grounds, too."
Hearing that, Elicia opened her eyes wide. Luckily no one was paying attention to her when that happened. Otherwise, she would have given away that she knew more than she was supposed to.
Meanwhile, the other girls looked at Alfonzo in confusion.
"I know what you're thinking." Alfonzo said while smiling wryly. "That doesn't seem so bad, right?"
In response, all the girls nodded.
"But from what Master Tsunade said, these training grounds are massive." Alfonzo continued. "They're supposed to mimic any kind of terrain the shinobi of the village might come across while on a mission."
Hearing that, like Elicia, the other girls also opened their eyes wide.
"And there are more than forty five of them, too." Alfonzo said, concluding his explanation.
With that, the group fell into silence. The silence did not last too long, however, as it was broken by a question.
"Just how long will something like that take?" Lucy asked curiously. "I mean, you'll basically be changing the entire landscape, right?"
"More or less." Alfonzo replied. "And to be honest, I'm not sure how long it will take. But I'll have to work out the details with their Hokage.. Oh, that's the title for their leader."
"That sounds weird." Cana said while rolling the title around in her head.
"That's what I said, too." Alfonzo said with a smile. "But different cultures and all that."
"I guess." Cana replied before taking a swig from her bottle of vodka.
Like that, the group kept chatting as they made their way to the guild hall. Eventually, they came across Brandish, who once again was reading a book with a book cover surrounding it.
Seeing Brandish, Marin's eyes lit up, as she felt she was reading something she might be interested in. So, she jogged over to greet the green-haired young woman.
"Hey, Brandish." Marin said excitedly while approaching Brandish. "Whatcha readin'?"
"Oh, hi, Marin." Brandish replied as she looked up from her book. "I'm reading this."
With a slight blush, Brandish waited for Marin to get closer. Then, she put a book mark on her current page before flipping to the title page. Clearly, she was too embarrassed to verbally answer Marin's question in public.
After seeing the title of Brandish's book, Marin quickly sat down next to her. Then, she began animatedly discussing the book. Meanwhile, Brandish looked around cautiously to make sure that no one could overhear their conversation.
AT the same time, Alfonzo, Elicia, Cana, Ultear, and Lucy only watched in amusement.
"I wanna call Marin the source of corruption." Ultear said while elegantly covering her smile with her right hand. "But Brandish was reading books like that the first time we saw her. So, if anything Marin is only speeding the process along."
"I'd rather she just let herself be corrupted than trying to kill me like she did back then." Lucy replied awkwardly.
"At least the misunderstanding was settled, right?" Elicia asked as she held Lucy's hand with a smile. "She won't try to kill you any more, either."
"Yeah, I guess." Lucy replied, maintaining her awkward smile. "But I can tell that she wants to fight me. Probably to beat the person that beat the person that killed her mother."
"Well, if it ever comes to that, just fight her." Cana said with a shrug. "As long as she doesn't go too far, it will only be a spar."
"Yeah, but I really don't wanna fight someone I know I can't beat." Lucy said, her awkward smile turning wry in an instant. "I mean, I'm not like Darkness. I don't' like getting beat up."
At the same time, a certain blonde-haired, blue-eyed knight sneezed before she started blushing and shuddering in pleasure.
"If you're so afraid, just release Zodiac." Alfonzo replied. "If you do, you'd be more or less on par with her, right?"
"Yeah, but you told us not to release the [Soul Armaments] in front of them, right?" Lucy asked in confusion.
"That's true, but I'd rather you not get beat up for no reason." Alfonzo replied as he started combing his fingers through Lucy's hair. "But that should only be a last resort. Like if she challenges you and won't take no for an answer."
"'Kay~~~." Lucy replied while melting under the feeling of Alfonzo's fingertips brushing against her scalp.
With that, Alfonzo and the girls continued to walk, leaving Marin and Brandish behind to talk about the book Brandish was reading.
"Hey, they left you behind." Brandish said as she noticed the others leave. "Don't you need to catch up with them?"
Brandish's question was more to get Marin to stop talking about the book in a public place. But it also gauged how important their trip away from home was. If it really was important, Brandish would report it to Irene when she returned to the hotel.
"Oh, don't worry about it." Marin replied with a smile. "They're only heading to the guild hall. Fonzie wanted to say bye before he left for a job."
Judging that Irene and Brandish would know when Alfonzo left, Marin felt no harm in telling Brandish that little bit of information.
At the same time, Brandish became a bit more attentive. And had Marin not been on guard against Irene and Brandish from the beginning, she would have never noticed. However, now that she had, she would definitely tell Alfonzo about it when they got home.
Until then, however, Marin continued to chat with Brandish, who got more uncomfortable with the conversation topic as time passed.
Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Village Hidden in the Leaves.
At the same time, in a large village hidden in a forest near Karakura Town, Hidden Leaf Ravine, and the Valley of the End, three elderly men and an elderly woman were meeting in the office of the highest ranking man in the village to discuss the potential deal to have their training grounds overhauled.
"Hiruzen, are you really planning to allow an outsider into the village to change our training grounds?" An elderly man with shaggy black hair, black eyes, an X-shaped scar on his chin, and his left eye and right arm covered in bandages wearing a black robe that covered everything from his ankles to his left shoulder, asked angrily.
"We've been over this before, Danzō." Hiruzen, or rather, Hiruzen Sarutobi, replied in an exasperated tone as he took a toke from his pipe. "Tsunade told me about this. And from what she has seen, they could increase the strength of our shinobi several fold in the years to come."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the current Hokage of the Village Hidden in the leaves was a man of below average stature with wrinkles and liver spots befitting his age, a bald head with grey hair on the sides and back of his head, and a beard of matching color wearing a red and white robe with the word "Third" stitched on its back and a large brimmed red and white hat with the word "Fire" stitched on its front.
*Bang!*
"And what if he's a spy?" the elderly black-haired man, Danzō, or rather Danzō Shimura, asked while slamming his right fist onto Hiruzen's desk. "Giving an outsider that much access to the village could spell the end of the Hidden Leaf."
"*Sigh* I understand your concerns, Danzō." Hiruzen said in an annoyed tone after exhaling a cloud of smoke. "But I trust Tsunade. And I will not change my decision."
Instead of responding, Danzō only shot a dirty look at Hiruzen. Then, he stood from his seat, turned around, and left the office.
Meanwhile, the other two people in the office, a grey-haired elderly woman and a bespectacled elderly man with spiky grey hair and beard exchanged glances. However, they could tell that Hiruzen had gotten fed up with their old team mate.
"Calm down, Hiruzen." The elderly woman, Koharu Utatane, said in a soothing tone. "You know he only wants what's best for the village."
"Besides, once he sees the utility of the new training equipment, I'm sure he'll come around." The elderly man, Homura Mitokado, added.
"Yes, I know that." Hiruzen replied after taking a deep breath to calm down. "But he doesn't have to act like he can't trust the words of my disciple like that."
Once again, Koharu and Homura exchanged glances. And from the look in the other's eyes, they could tell they were both thinking the same thing.
'Well, one of your three disciples is Orochimaru, the village's worst traitor in history.' The two elders thought simultaneously. 'Then, there's Jiraiya, a notorious pervert. And lastly, the one who gave us the information about this young man, Alfonzo Marcus, is a terrible gambling addict and alcoholic. So, your disciples don't exactly have the best track records.'
Naturally, the two elders were intelligent enough to not say that out loud. Especially since they had the same concerns as Danzō. Though, they could understand the utility of having such training spaces, as well.
"Anyway, now that this is done, you two can go back." Hiruzen replied. "I still have work to do."
Nodding in response, Koharu and Homura stood up and left the room.
As soon as Hiruzen was alone in his office, he took another toke from his pipe as he leaned back in his chair.
"I just hope you don't try to do anything to that boy, Danzō." Hiruzen said in a tired tone. "He's one of the strongest members of Fairy Tail, the strongest of the Legal Guilds in the kingdom. We're not ready to face an enemy like that. Not after the rampage of the Nine-Tailed Fox. On top of that, we hadn't even fully recovered from the Third Great Ninja War when that happened."
Hiruzen then took another toke from his pipe. Then, after exhaling, he continued talking to himself.
"Anyway, I guess I'll have Kakashi be his guide an dkeep an eye on him while he's in the village." Hiruzen murmured to himself as she reached under his desk for a button that would summon a messenger.
At the same time, Danzō, who had just exited the Hokage Tower, the central administrative building in the Village Hidden in the Leaves, could not help but twitch the corner of his lips.
'Good, once that outsider finishes doing all the upgrades, I think I'll bring him into my Root.' Danzō thought to himself while covering the left side of his face with his left hand. 'Then, my rise to Hokage will be unstoppable. The only thing in the way will be you, my old friend, Hiruzen.'
Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Outskirts of Crocus.
"Who are you and why did you break us out of prison?" A pale-skinned man with yellow eyes and snake like features asked warily.
"Because I've heard a little about the two of you, Orochimaru and Mayuri Kurotsuchi." A young blonde woman with an exaggerated hourglass figure replied in a cheerful tone. "It's because the two of you bring despair to those around you. And I like that."
As she spoke of despair, the blonde woman, Junko Enoshima began writhing in pleasure. Meanwhile, the two men she just broke out of prison, Orochimaru and Mayuri Kurotsuchi, only looked at her in bewilderment.
"Anyway, my friend will be here with your subordinates soon." Junko replied after she got herself under control.
"And what do you want from us after breaking us out?" Mayuri asked skeptically.
"Nothing." Junko replied. "I just want you to bring despair to the world like you've always done. Experiment on the so called innocent. Make whole villages disappear in the name of science. Genocide an entire race to find out their secrets. I don't care. Just keep doing whatever you have been doing."
By the end of her speech, Junko had her arms raised and spread in a grand fashion as she looked at Orochimaru and Mayuri as if they were her idols. A moment later, however, her expression turned into one filled with disdain.
"But please don't tell me going to prison once was enough to make you turn over a new leaf." Junko continued, her tone making her sound like she was totally disgusted by the thought. "Otherwise, I'll kill you myself."
Feeling the aura Junko released, Orochimaru and Mayuri both took some distance while raising their guard. Luckily, it did not come to a fight. Instead, Junko put on a smile as she looked in a certain direction.
Following Junko's gaze, Orochimaru and Mayuri saw a young, blonde woman with cat like features leading a bespectacled, grey-haired young man and a black-haired young woman towards their position from a different side of the capital.
"Himiko, welcome back!" Junko shouted as she vigorously waved her arm in the three newcomers' direction.
"Junko, I did like you asked." The blonde with cat-like features, Himiko Toga, replied as she ran towards Junko. A few moments later, she stopped next to Junko with a smile on her face. "So, can we go and cover that sexy Alfonzo Marcus in his own blood now?"
"It's not quite the time yet." Junko replied with a smile as she started patting Himiko on the head. "But it will be soon, I promise."
"*Sigh* Okay." Himiko replied in a disappointed tone. "I'll believe in you, Junko."
Meanwhile, the other two, Kabuto Yakushi and Nemu Kurotsuchi, approached the men they served.
"Good, now that we're out, let's go, Kabuto." Orochimaru said. "We won't be working with Kurotsuchi any more, it's too conspicuous."
"Then what's our next move, Lord Orochimaru?" Kabuto asked.
"Well, since no one knows we've escaped prison, let's plan to destroy the old village." Orochimaru replied as he licked his lips with his abnormally long tongue. "After that, we can plot our revenge on the one responsible for us spending almost two years in prison."
"As you command, Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto replied while bowing his head politely.
Meanwhile, Mayuri had already walked away.
"Let us return home, Nemu." Mayuri said without looking back. "I believe we've collected enough data to finish the Captain Commander's assignment."
"Yes, Master." Nemu replied as she and Mayuri disappeared into the darkness.
