Wrath was " playing " with some mice outside Dante`s mansion one night when suddenly , a rift in The Gate opened . Out of said rift , a man appeared before Wrath , causing him to drop his mice who then scurried into a hidey-hole before the rambunctious young homunculus could pursue . Wrath was startled by the fact the man looked exactly like Pride . Same hairstyle , same mustache , same eyepatch , same sword , same tan . The man was a little more built and gruffer-looking than Pride but other than that , the two looked identical .
Wrath turned to the man , grabbing him and asked furiously " Who are you and why do you look so much like Pride ? "
" Pride ? " , the man asked . " Oh , I see . There was a rift in The Gate , I must have ended up in some alternate dimension . What`s your name , young man ? " , he smiled .
" Wrath , the name is Wrath " , the boy said , trying to contain his rage .
" That`s funny , I`m also called Wrath . " , the man said .
" But , how`s that possible ? I mean , Edward`s talked about the possibility of parallel worlds but I`ve never exactly been into that science junk like he is . It only hurts my head " , the raven-haired boy brooded .
" Well , nothing is impossible " , the man said and the younger Wrath released him .
" I`m sorry I was so angry , it`s just you look exactly like Pride . And , I hate Pride ! If that jerk had his way , I wouldn`t have any fun at all ! " , he screamed .
" Funny , you`re a child just like my world`s Pride although technically , he`s the eldest of us . Who`s the oldest homunculus in your world ? " , the man asked .
" Envy , the jerk ! " , the boy rasped .
" Hmm , I don`t exactly get along with my world`s Envy , either " , he said .
" Hey , where`s your Ouroboros ? " , the boy asked innocently .
" Oh , it`s under my patch . See ? " , the man said as he removed his eyepatch and sure enough , there it was . He even called it by the same name Pride did . The " Ultimate Eye " .
" Where`s yours ? " , the man asked as he placed his eyepatch over his Ouroboros eye once more .
" Oh , here ! See , see ? " , the boy gleefully showed his right foot .
" I do see ! ", the man chuckled .
" I will become human and then I`ll be free of that stupid mark ! " , the boy declared .
" Become human ? Now , why exactly would you want to do that ? Humans are inferior creatures . They`re little more than cockroaches compared to us . " , he inquired .
" I know , I know ! Okay . Pride , Envy and Dante are always telling me the same thing ! " , the boy screamed .
" Dante ? Who`s that ? " , the man asked .
" She`s our master . She took us in after humans made us with their failed ' human transmutations ' . She`s a total control freak ! Between her and Pride , it`s a miracle I get to have any fun at all ." , the boy explained .
" My world`s homunculi were made by Father , the first homunculus created by the emperor of ancient Xerxes . Either made from scratch using a Philosopher`s Stone and one of Father`s sins or like myself and our second Greed , unusually strong-willed humans injected with Philosopher`s Stone particles and a sin of Father`s choosing . Ofcourse , the human would need a strong metabolism and enough of the sin in question already present . " , he said .
" Don`t you ever miss being human ? " , the boy asked .
" Not...one...bit " , the man said gruffly .
" Ya know , I`ll admit I`m not exactly that smart but I can still tell when I`m being lied to " , the boy rasped .
" Okay , perhaps to some degree " , the man said in an embarrassed tone .
" Don`t you ever get tired of having so much anger inside you all the time ? So much hate ? " , the boy asked .
" Well , I suppose now that you put it that way " , the man replied .
" It`s just , like I get so mad . And , I just wanna explode ! I want everyone and everything in my path to be just as miserable as I am ! I hate humans . Especially their babies ! Always whining and burping ! It drives me crazy ! But , I just want something... to fill this emptiness inside . I wanna love instead of hating everything . It`s a good thing I have Mommy Sloth ! " , he smiled .
" Your world`s Sloth is a woman ? " , the man asked .
" Yup , yours isn`t ? " , the boy asked .
" No , our Sloth`s a man and not a particularly smart one at that " , the man said .
" Oh , kinda like Gluttony " , the boy laughed into his hand .
" Yes , exactly like Gluttony ! " , the man chuckled .
" Well , Mommy Sloth`s really smart . And unlike stupid Dante and Pride , she lets me have lots o` fun . " , the boy grinned .
" Oh , I believe you " , the man said .
" Hey , wanna vent our frustration by torturing defenseless mice ?" , the boy asked , grinning evilly .
" Certainly . Sounds like fun " , the man chuckled , holding his sword in his right hand .
