Temptation ran back down the tower, and on his way, he noticed something he didn't see before, a wedding poster for Joy and Greed nailed on the wall.
"What a terribly made poster." He said.
He was about to approach the exit door, when all of a sudden it opened itself. The alchemist came back in and looked at Temptation directly. Temptation stopped, unsure of how to react. He didn't know if he would get caught. The alchemist walked up to Temptation, nearly nose-to-nose, and through the darkened hood, he asked one question.
"Have you seen my hammer?"
Temptation thought of an idea and he answered "Last I heard, Greed needed a hammer to nail wedding posters all over the place."
The alchemist was stunned. "REALLY, AGAIN? He just never returns anything I let him borrow. THAT FILTHY, GREEDY BOY." The alchemist stomped out of the tower and walked toward the main building.
Temptation watched him as he left, shrugged, and ran out of the premises. He spotted an organization member parking his horse at the horse lot and entered one of the buildings. Temptation ran to that horse, untied it from its post, and rode off.

Meanwhile, Joy was getting her dress fitted for the wedding. With Envy being the only girl in the whole organization, she was tasked with making Joy ready. Greed was in the room after Joy put on the dress.
"You look stunning." Greed said in a snarky voice. "I hate these dresses. So tight and so uncomfortable to move in." Joy replied trying to move in her dress. It was a large white ball gown with many little flowery details, and a large train behind her.
"Oh don't worry about that, darling. Everything is almost done, even the wedding posters." Greed unrolls a sheet of paper and shows Joy.
"What a terribly made poster." Joy said. The poster was really just two stick figures holding hands and the words 'Joy & Greed' scribbled on top with crayon.
"It's fine with me. It'll be..." Greed said when suddenly the door slammed open.
"YOU-" The alchemist said as he pointed at Greed. "GIVE ME BACK MY HAMMER!" "I don't have your hammer." "OH YEAH, THEN HOW DID YOU NAIL THIS TERRIBLE POSTER ON MY WALL?"

XD XD XD XD oh my gosh this is so funny to me i want to draw this xd
Joy's sword was taken away and her hands were cuffed. Envy and Greed held her arms and walked with her back into the estate. Joy could only follow, unsure of what would happen next.

Meanwhile, Temptation in his bearded disguise was already inside the building and could view the burning barn from a window. The burning barn did create a diversion, as all of the guards left their positions to help put out the fire.
He was in a dark hallway on the third floor of the building, and he tried to reference his memory to find the location of the Alchemy room. He remembered it being in the top of a tall tower, but not the tallest tower. He looked out another window that could view all the buildings and he could see the second highest tower in view on his left. He proceeded in that direction, making way for any guards and other employees of the organization.
He reached the bottom floor and exited, now being in the courtyard. He was walking along the path to the second highest tower when he crossed paths with Envy and Greed, holding Joy's arms, as well as a small legion behind them. He so desperately wanted to rescue Joy, but he was outnumbered. He had to let her go with them and proceed with the plan.
He got into the tower, walked up five stories of spiral staircases, and finally reached the door to the Alchemy room. There was a tinted window to the inside of the room, and Temptation could just barely see what was inside, but he also pressed his ear on it and could hear the alchemist working inside and talking to himself.
"Now for the last ingredient, just a fine pinch of essence of the Maximus Tentaculous is enough." The alchemist said as he took a small deep purple crystal, and wrapped it in a cloth.
He turned around a couple times and shouted to himself, "WHERE'S MY HAMMER?" He couldn't finish his potion without a hammer to smash the crystal to dust.
Suddenly, he heard a knock at the door. He swung the door out and tried to see who knocked, but there was no one. "Someone must've taken my hammer." He left and walked down the spiral staircase.
Temptation popped out from behind the door that was swung open, and entered the alchemy room, locking the door.
1. That's rough. 2. Hehe, I like this guy. XD 3. Smooth.
XD"Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is... what the Black Pearl really is... is freedom. "
He turned and scanned his surroundings. The laboratory was a somewhat large one, being circular in shape and having only one small window. Plenty of marble counters took up the space, as well as dozens of shelves and bookcases covering the whitewashed walls. Books, papers, quill pens and inkwells, along with countless glass vials filled with multi-colored liquids and mixing bowls brimming with indiscernible ingredients cluttered up the counters and shelves. Menacing-looking tools of surgical use gleamed from their stands on the walls. The one window served as a skylight, allowing natural light to filter into the room. Temptation's gaze fell upon the small bundle the alchemist had left on the counter. He stepped up to the marble island and freed the small, glittering clump of amethyst. He glanced to the left and saw a large bowl filled with matching purple stones. For several seconds, he felt panic rising as he realized he was at a blank as to what to do with the crystals. I could crush them, but that's exactly what the alchemist needed. I could try to destroy them in a harsh chemical mixture, but I don't know which ones to use, and all it would do is dissolve anyway. For crystal energy--or really, energy in general--cannot be destroyed or suppressed; it can only change forms and substances, be manipulated, even, but whatever happened to the crystal, its essence of the energy would be the same. Desperate, he finally came to a decision. I'll bury them somewhere--somewhere none of Fear's goons can ever find them. Then they won't be able to use them. And I'll free the prisoners while I'm at it. He found a satchel and stuffed all the crystals he could find in them. As he did so, he glanced over at some mixing bowls containing cookie batter, presumably what the alchemist was going to mix the powdered amethyst crystal into. Temptation briefly berated himself for not bringing any more bottles of the antidote with him. They would have been quite helpful. "Don't worry about what you can't change, just keep doing what you need to do," he muttered to himself. He quickly made his way back down the tower. Now to find a fast horse.
