Different Type of Greed
Chapter 1: A Monster Within the Belly
I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist.
"Hurry up boy!" An angry doctor Nox yelled, to Ling he he told him that once he and Lanfan were in the city she would receive better medical care for her injuries.
"But my friends I just can't leave them!" Ling protested.
"Getting both of you!" Nox yelled as an injured Col. Mustang approached with help from his Lieutenant.
Ed kicked the Colonel into the front next to Nox and Ling in back with Lanfan.
"Ed I can't just leave you here!" Ling cried as he shifted the rag on Lanfan's head.
"You have to look after Lanfan, idiot prince!" Ed screamed "And Col. Bastard is more useless than a wet match!"
"Then the Lieutenant goes with you!" Roy demanded. "Lieutenant can you watch over the boys?"
"Yes Sir!" Hawkeye nodded, then after filling up on ammo she and Al head towards the woods.
Ed started "I know Lt. Hawkeye has amazing shooting skills, bu-"
"There's an urban legend in the south that she has swordsmanship skills that rival Bradley's," Mustang grimness "Hopefully there true."
"If you say so..." Ed called as he started to run towards the woods.
In the woods...
"WHERE'S ROY MUSTANG!?" Gluttony roared, " HOW DARE YOU KILL LUST!? I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"
"I know I said I'd battle that creep," Ed mumbled "But...it's totally freaking me out!"
"How are we going to catch it?" Al shook behind a tree.
"Wow, you two are doing a complete one-eighty." Hawkeye cocked her gun.
"If it could at least go back to its original, more gentler form..." Ed trailed.
"If only the Colonel was still here... Maybe if we threw him into Gluttony's mouth, that would quiet him down."
"That is one of the most amazing ideas I have ever heard, Hawkeye." Ed sighed, imaging the Colonel being eaten by Gluttony.
BA-BOOM! Gluttony missed his target by mere feet.
"Where's all that stuff it swallows going, anyway!" Ed asked.
"How should I know? These things are made from alchemy,right? You tell me?" Hawkeye shrugged.
"Aww jeez, this is getting us nowhere." Al grumbled.
Suddenly Mie's little panda turned around at the same time Hawkeye turned aiming her weapon. Both the animal and women got tense, the little panda growled and Hawkeye clenched her gun tighter. "What's wrong, you two?" Al asked, out of nowhere a big dark looking dog slowly came out from the trees. "A dog?" Al asked.
"Stop now Gluttony!"
Hawkeye stared for a moment "A talking dog?"
"You're the one...who added the flame Colonel in killing Lust!" The dog started to transform into its original human like appearance,"Yo! It's been awhile Fullmetal runt!" Envy grinned.
"DONT...CALL...ME...LITTLE!" Ed yelled sending a kick for Envy's head.
"Whoa!" Envy grunted and ducked,"wait a minute! I don't wanna fight you, little boy!"
"That's five times, now!" Ed sent a punch towards the homunculus, who narrowly dodged it.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Envy gasped, completely out of breath.
"Twice now which makes two times and you called me little three times at lab No.5!" Ed ranted "Don't tell me you forgot!?"
"What an amazing memory..." Envy deadpanned.
"BUT NOW, ENVY, I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! Ed cackled.
Whoa that's scary Hawkeye thought.
Ed quickly slapped his hand on a nearby tree and transmuted a wood fist straight at Envy. The Homunculi jumped on the tree barks and landed next to Gluttony.
"Don't provoke him, big brother!" Al pleaded as held on to Ed.
"That boy has a nasty temper." Envy said as he dusted himself off.
"MUSTANG! LUST'S KILLER! WHERE IS HE?" Gluttony hollered "I'LL EAT HIM! SWALLOW HIM UP!"
"I don't see him around. Maybe he already escaped." Envy explained "Anyway you can't swallow the Colonel."
"B...but...he killed Lust." Gluttony whimpered.
"So it's you again, Miss Hawkeye." Envy turn towards her.
"I surprised that you know me, seeing how I am not anyone importante." Hawkeye replied still aiming her gun at him.
"How could I forget?!" Envy laughed "You sliced me open on one of your first cases after Ishval! If I recall it was the Zeppelin indecent, an unknown murder kills families all throughout the southern countryside and after killing the families the killer wrote messages on the walls using the victim's blood to do it."
Edward saw the Lieutenant's free hand clench so hard that a bit of blood started coming out of the closed fist.
"And then you came along, you found a pattern and figured out where the killer would go next!" Envy chuckled "You went and chased after the killer after stopping him from killing his next victims, then you two had a little sword play and you won after slicing him in half! And if I'm right you swore never to use a sword again after what you did!"
"So I take you were the murder?" Hawkeye growled.
"Yup, you won't believe how much fun I had killing those victims!" Envy cackled.
"Fullmetal." She dropped her gun right hand now free, Hawkeye's face was covered by her bangs, but her voice was as cold as ice "Can you transmutate me a sword?"
"Yeah..." Ed clapped his hands and slapped them on the ground, creating two simple katana swords, and tossing them to her.
"Well I was only supposed to pick up fatso here." Envy gestured towards Gluttony "But I guess I can kill the women too. Gluttony! You can't eat the Elrics or the Flame Colonel, but you can eat the Hawk's Eye...if you want."
"I guess there's some hope after all." Ed muttered to Al "They still want us alive."
"Plus he made Gluttony calm down a bit." Al pointed out.
Hawkeye got into a fighting position "Which means..."
"He's all yours Hawkeye!" Ed yelled a he transmuted a wall separating the two homunculi.
Hawkeye rushed towards Envy and started to hit him with her swords.
"You've got skills kiddo, looks like you've improved the last time we met. You're able to predict my moves, nice." Envy complemented as the enraged Lieutenant tried to find an opening.
"Thanks, but I'm used to worthier foes. Unlike you...a person who leaves their defenses wide open!" Hawkeye yelled as she cut into his side.
Envy changed his right arm into a snake's body and started wrapping itself around her neck. "You fell for it."
"A clever gambit. You you take the hit, so that you can go for the kill." Hawkeye grunted as the snake-arm enclosed around her neck causing her to drop the sword in her left hand.
"We both know you could never really beat me back in that alley if I used my true power!" Envy grinned as the snake head grew fangs and his other hand grew into a blade. "So would you prefer to be crushed to death...bitten to death? Would you rather I slice you pieces?"
"Nngh." Hawkeye dropped the other sword as the snake wrapped itself round her arm. "Well... I've always been partial to slicing." Hawkeye said a she gently stuck the front of her boat into the ground and kicked the dirt up in Envy's eyes. Seeing that the homunculi was distracted, Hawkeye used his knife hand to cut off his snake one. Then reached down and grabbed one of her swords sliced at Envy, hitting him in the middle.
"That was low!" The homunculi growled stumbling back. "A dirty trick, kicking sand into my eyes."
"As a former detective in the military and a bodyguard to a high ranking officer, I've had to deal with assignation attacks for a long time." Hawkeye explained "So I've had no choice but learn how to fight dirty. So if come quietly I won't hurt you, deal?" Hawkeye knew that the chances of this homunculi come quietly were below five percent.
"INSOLENT LITTLE TWERP!" Envy howled "I WON'T LET ALLOW A MERE HUMAN TO LOOK DOWN AT ME!"
"NEVER EVER UNDER ESTIMATE HUMANS,HOMUNCULUS!"
Hawkeye thundered.
The Lieutenant turned around as Ed and came rolling out from the other side. "Keep it together you two, keep him busy long enough for me to finish off..." She was cut off as Envy tried to punch her, turning back swiftly, the Lieutenant was able to slice off Envy's right leg, "...the other homunculi." She finished.
Just as she was about to deliver the final blow, Envy changed into one of the last people she wanted hurt...Conole Roy Mustang.
Ha, she took the bait! Envy thought, "Gluttony eat her now!"
"Lieutenant!" Ed screamed rushing forward to the women "Lieutenant, he's going to swallow you!"
Everything went in slow motion, Envy turned in horror, I can't allow him to swallow the human sacrifice! Ed grabbed the stunned Lieutenant trying to puller to safety, but Envy grabbed Ed's leg in an attempted to pull the young alchemist back.
VOOM!
Al looked at Envy or at least remained of Envy, before it turned into to dust disappeared. His right hand was missing and now so was was Ed and Lt. Hawkeye. Al grabbed onto Gluttony's rib bones. "Oops...I ate them" he mumbled.
"BIG BROTHER! LIEUTENANT! BIG BROTHER! BRING THEM BACK, MY BIG BROTHER, LIEUTENANT, BRING THEM BACK PLEASE!" Al cried.
"Too, late,I ate them." Gluttony whispered as his stomach closed.
Ed was floating in a pool that smelled like iron. ... My hands move, my legs are ok "Eww what a bad smell." Ed grumbled putting his hand over his nose.
What am I doing here?
That's right, Hawkeye and I got attacked by Gluttony then we got swallowed.
This stench I've smelled it before. "It's iron, is this blood?" Ed cried out pulling his hand away.
"Hey is anyone here?" He called out into the darkness "Lieutenant? What is this place? " Ed looked around helplessly.
"WHERE AM I?!"
