As was his custom, he reached into his coat pocket, grabbing the carton of cigarettes. He flipped the lid open and reached inside. There was only one left. He tossed the box into the flames and held up the last one, placing it in the fire, lighting it, and placing it on his lips. He heard the footsteps of the others, and turned to them. He was wearing a blindfold, his long brown hair flowing in the wind. He grabbed his cigarette, and pulled it down, letting out a puff of smoke, putting it back in.
"Alchemists? Enemies of the mortal world. You only exist to destroy. I won't let you pass by me."

Kesuke could hear the disdain dripping in the man's voice as he spoke to him and the others that had arrived at the scene.
"Such insults... What the heck is his problem?", the boy thought to himself.
Looking past the man into the flames, he pondered if it was meant to be some kind of trap. The fire had drawn him and some fellow alchemists to it, like moths to the flame. Kesuke slowly reached into his pocket which contained the watch. If he got the chance, then he could easily put out the flames with his ice.

"All right... Fine. Guess I've got to do what the psychopath says.", Kesuke retorted, pulling his hand from his pocket and showing that he wasn't holding anything.
Unfortunately for the man with the dagger, Kesuke didn't exactly need his watch to preform his alchemy. He dropped onto one knee and placed his palms flat on the ground, releasing a wave of ice over the dirt and towards the flames. As the ice contacted with the flames, they froze over in their places, forming a lovely ice sculpture.
"Oh, yeah. That's what I'm talking about!"

Silver and Arg arrived shortly after Kesuke did his ice thing. The man with the cigarette seemed to be less than thrilled.
"...I... get the feeling we're not safe here."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
"So do we run?"
"No, let's just see what happens... hey, you're not supposed to be talking! There are people here!"
"Well excuse me for having what I deemed to be useful coments regarding this situation!"

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

The man let the cigarette fall to the ground.
"Fancy tricks alchemist." He commented as he stomped out the life of the cigarette. "Too bad you're too late. The books are already burned beyond recognition."
He held the dagger steadily, his 'eyes' watching the newcomers. He chuckled softly. "More alchemists. And an abomination of alchemy work. It appears I'll be able to destroy some more alchemists and put a creature out of its misery today."

Look at this signature. Isn't it the funniest and most hilarious signature you've ever seen?

"...'Out of its misery'? Out of its misery? I'll have you know, I'm a HE!"
"Arg!"
"Oh, right! And I'm not an abomination!"
"That's... not what I meant..."
"Uh... oh yeah! 'put a creature out of its misery' isn't supposed to sound like a threat!"
"Close enough. Now get out of here!"
"Are you stupid? You can't beat him. Even with, uh... the ice guy there - kinda forget his name - it'll be a miracle if you don't end up dead."
"We won't know that until we try..."
"You're forgetting who ACTUALLY passed the state alchemist exam, aren't you, you awful cheater? Now take the watch - it's show time!"
Silver caught the silver watch that was sent flying towards him as the bird hovering beside him descended towards the ground. It seemed that the impact caused a wall of rock to fly up in front of the murderous psycho, though the electrical charge around it indicated that it was alchemy.

The man let out a puff of smoke, glancing in Silver's direction. He spun the blades in his hands and almost began charging. That was, until he had to pull off a hop to the side as a gunshot was fired.
Jenkins reloaded his pistol and stepped forward, aiming a pistol at him.
"It appears I have lost the upper hand." He dropped the cigarette, and ran.
He put his pistol away. "You kids all right?"

Kesuke shuddered lightly, but it was not an effect of his own ice-based abilities. "Geez.... Why do you have to use the word "kid?" I hate that word...", he began to reply. "Um, I mean... Yeah, I believe that we're all okay, for the most part."

"Heh! Never been better!" the little bird added with a smile. He then noticed Silver glaring at him and realized his mistake. "I mean... uh... tweet?"
Silver started whispering something to Argyros, but as he went on, he gradually got louder. "What have I told you about speaking recklessly?! One of these days, someone's going to find out that you're... oh, crap."
"What's this about 'speaking recklessly'?"
"...I suppose there's no chance you two will just forget about that?"

He blinked some at the 2 alchemists then narrowed his eyes slightly. "All right... we have something to chat about..."
He led the crew to his shop.
He led them into the back of the shop, letting them have a seat around a table. not the table with the alchemist circle, mind you, just a normal table.
"All right... Explain a few things to me... How can you do alchemy with a circle, and how is that bird speaking more than "Polly want a cracker"?"

"Eh... Well, that's a complicated story right there.", Kesuke began. "To put it simply, I tried to go against God and preformed a depraved act. For that, I was punished and lost my left arm." At this point, he lifted his automail arm. "Also, I saw the Gate, which is how I'm able to preform alchemy without the use of a circle. That's it in a nutshell, I suppose... But I do want to know about the bird as well."

...Silver and Argyros looked at each other nervously. Neither of them were particularly keen on the idea of explaining themselves, so Arg said the only logical thing...
"Polly want a cracker?"
"Arg!"
"It's quite convenient that my nickname can also be a disdainful shout, isn't it?"
"...There's no chance we're going to get out of telling this story, is there?"
"Doesn't look like it. So, listen, military dogs, and you shall here of the midnight ride of- I mean, Silver and Argyros being stupid. We... may have also tried to defy the laws of the universe. The gate just kind of thought I tasted better. Yeah, Silver sucks at alchemy, so he was completely off the hook. Did manage to tie my soul to this random bird we had lying around, though. And here I am."
"As for my half of the confession? Arg already touched on it, but... I really have no talent for alchemy. But Arg is really good at it... So when I took the State Alchemist test, he did the alchemy and I just made it look like it was me."
"You know... you really didn't have to tell them that."
