"But…this is impossible. It can't be…"
Edward Elric stood speechless in front of a familiar man. The man was dressed in an almost fully black outfit, creased with strange, red, line markings that flowed right to his chest. Edward could tell easily that this was Homunculus apparel. The fake human's hair was slicked back, with a few strands that poked out from the front. His eyes were a dark, cold purple; certainly the eyes of a Homunculus.
The man's face however, told Edward otherwise. He had a familiar face…the face of an old friend… A dead friend. Edward stared at the man with a fearful expression. Edward's mouth was open, but no sound came out. He was quivering.
Finally, the Homunculus spoke;
"Listen kid, whoever you think I am, I'm not." The man said with a cheerful slyness in his voice. Edward continued to gaze at him in confusion, not saying a word.
"Hehe." He chuckled. "They call me the new "Greed". You know…since you killed the other one."
Suddenly, Edward snapped back into reality. He was dealing with monster. Nothing more, nothing less. He could let this guy scare him, not even for a moment. The homunculi feed on the fear and sorrow of humans. If they didn't, they truly wouldn't deserve to be called the 7 deadly sins.
"Shut up, ok! I'm not a killer!" Edward barked. He wanted to say more, but the man's appearance still haunted him. He found himself motionless within seconds of looking into the homunculi's eyes.
"Oh really?" The monster walked even farther out of the shadows that enclosed him. "I wish I could say the same." He grinned.
As if out of nowhere, the creature flung forward, hand outstretched and aiming for Edward's head. Blue sparks began to circulate the monster's arm.
"Here I come." He called, calmly, while moving quickly towards his prey.
Edward couldn't think straight… He couldn't move… He was useless. In a last attempt to make the homunculus stop in his track, he cried out the only thing on his mind.
"NO, HUGHES!"
