Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal, I doubt I ever will, sadly.
The large room was dark in the night, only the small lamp on the desk provided any light to those there. There were only five of them. A man with long green/black hair who spread himself casually over one of the couched. An attractive woman sat on the other cough, looking over her long, sharp nails. A round...potato-like man chewed his fingers while he sat next to the woman. Another lady who stood behind the large chair at the desk. And lastly, a calm looking man with an eye patch and a military uniform. The green/black haired fellow was growing impatient with the over-taking silence.

"Can we get this started? I wanna finish this as soon as I can." he growled.

"Fine, Fine." the man at the desk sighed. "Envy, Lust and Gluttony, your all going after a new prize for now. We're setting aside the Elric ordeal for a while."

"What?! Why?!" Envy ask, jumping from his seat.

"There's a bigger rat to deal with at the moment. He's been learning too much and he must be stopped." Pride told him.

"So we're going to get rid of this 'rat'?" Lust asked.

"Almost. When the appropriate time arrives." He stood, hands on the desk before him. "I've hear news of a large storm headed for central. I'll take care of clearing the stage for you. You just have to intimidate him out of out scheme. Don't kill him, we might need him in the future."

"So where do we come in? You get him trapped here and then what do we do?" Envy asked.

"I want you to threaten him, use the things he holds close to get him out of our hair. I want you to use this." He tossed a small vile to Lust who caught it. "You've heard your orders, go now."

"Fine, lets get this over with." Envy huffed.

"Your going to be shut up for quite a while, Roy Mustang." Pride mumbled.

"That bastard wont know what hit him." Envy smirked, leaving with Lust and Gluttony.


A/N: So short... My first try at something other than a oneshot. I don't know if I like this first bit much, but I'll continue faster if people give me nice reviews, please. Note that this is just the prologue.

R&R nicely.
