Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. Only Belligerence, Arrogance, and Vanity.


It wasn't a huge mystery why they did this to me.

I wasn't a particularly nice person.

All I ever wanted was to fight people. Challenge anyone that got in my way.

To hear the screaming, to feel blood lather my hands and body like a fine lotion. It was more or less the best for the world.

I, Bella Forest, was killed with the intent of ridding the war in Ishbal of true sadism.

This girl I was, of only 17 years old, was already the most feared female alchemist. I was known as the Stunning Flash Alchemist.

My motives were single minded and simple, kill and fight as much as possible.

I was an amazing asset to the military, when I could control my thirst for blood. It kept getting harder and harder to stop once I had started.

Soon the order was put out to dispose of me once and for all. They had succeeded, though with many casualties along the way.

But this is where the trouble started.

Soon as I was taken out of commission the State Dogs had lost all military strength with out me to hold the lot of Ishbalans at bay.

Too many lives had been taken and the need for more power had arisen amongst the soldiers leading to the idea to bring me back to finish the war.

The plan was carried out in secret by a few of the lesser skilled alchemists, afraid for their idea to be rejected by the state.

They were right to think this irrational idea would be tossed off hand. Human transmutation was strictly forbidden for reasons these men were aware of.

For if they were to fail, something much worse than I would be born of the ashes.

Completely disregarding the thought they proceeded to revive me.

The night of the transmutation the soldiers knew something was wrong but tossed the thought off hand fearing that if they didn't at least try, all hope of wining the war would be lost.

All was fine until the time to remove a body for the sacrifice at the gate came. The men tried to flee but at least four were taken in order to restore my soul.

Now I'm no longer a person, I am a sin.

The sin Belligerence.

My oroborus burned in my right hand as I rose from the transmutation circle.

To my delight I saw many soldiers staring at my darkened form in fear.

"B-Bella? Bella Forest?" Asked one of the men in a feeble attempt at courage.

"No, not Bella, Belligerence." I sneered looking at my tan hands in delight. I was reborn and ready for more.

After slaughtering the fools I had discovered I was suddenly insanely fast.

Practically teleporting as I moved with ease. Though I could slow my movements I liked this new ability more.

Stepping into the moonlight my now dark teal hair shinned like water in the light as my now purple eyes glittered with a devilish shine to them.

I left the pitiful camp before any of the other officers could realize any thing happened and made my way to Central.

It's been 30 years since that day and the military still had no knowledge of my resurrection. I had met two sins since I have been conceived as one myself.

One being Vanity and the other Arrogance. Both of them as sinful in the past as I had been, to a point.

Though Vanity had never truly killed anyone, she had manipulated other to do it for her.

And this is where my story begins.

"Belligerence…Belligerence…BELLIGERENCE!"

My ears throbbed in pain from the yelling. In a flash I had appeared behind the person who had awakened me with my dagger to his throat.

A deep chuckle emitted from him. "Arrogance? When will you learn that I'll wake up when I feel like it?" I asked releasing him and taking a seat on my bed.

"When you learn to wake up before the day ends." He answered smugly in a voice that would make any mortal woman swoon.

I rolled my eyes, while I had the body of a 17 year-old for the last 30 years; he held the body of a 20 year-old for at least 80.

I glared at him through my dark teal bangs and sighed in defeat. "Let me get dressed and tell Vanity that we're gonna spy on the military tonight." I murmured rising from my bed to put on my day attire as he walked out.

Wiggling out of my mini shorts and oversized shirt I grabbed a mint green tube top and black knee length shorts. I turned the water in the shower on and let icy cold water run down my body.

Shivering I quickly washed up and jumped out to dry off, turning the water back off in the process. After drying I put the fresh clothes on and walked out of the tiled room into the room I had started the day in.

My curtains were pulled closed to my dismay.

Striding over to the window I pulled open the fabric to let the sun trickle then flow over my body in a warm flush of golden light. My brief moment of peace was interrupted by an over-dramatic homunculus.

Her name was Vanity. She looked only older than I did by a decade or so. "Belligerence? I thought you were gonna get dressed not day dream." She stated curtly.

I glared at her with my evil purple eyes; this didn't bother her anymore. "Hurry up." Vanity warned before walking out.

I sneered and mocked her words while prancing about my room like a cheerleader. "Humph." I snorted.

I pulled on my faded black cotton vest and black leather fingerless gloves to cover the oroborus on my right hand.

We waited till deep into the night before Vanity; Arrogance and I slunk into the city of Central. We lived merely on the outskirts making it easy for us to make our way there quickly.

"Were are we going exactly?" I heard Vanity ask with her annoyingly sweet voice.

Arrogance merely shrugged having not the slightest idea himself while I stayed quiet and kept moving to our destination. Vanity had only been a homunculus for a few years making her the runt of the group and fairly annoying.

Soon we had reached our destination. Laboratory 5. "What are we doing here?" Vanity asked once again annoying me with her voice.

"You'll see." I said in a low voice. Hearing me speak startled both of them, having not spoken the whole trip my voice had cut through the air like a bullet.
