The night was silent. Seven figures stood in the alley. They started walking toward the street light. When they were almost visible, the seven figures dispersed at a lightning speed in five different directions. Right after they disappeared an elderly woman stood in the center of the alley under the street lamp. She was wrinkled and had gray hair, she wore a long skirt down to her shoes and a sweater. The woman just stood there motionless and had a small grin.
"Gluttony come on are you finished eating? We have work to do. Master will be very angry if we don't get it done." said a young beautiful woman with long black hair in a tight black dress.
"Just one more Lust. Please." said a short bald little man wearing all black.
"Gluttony there is no time to eat we have to find Full Metal and the boy in the suit of armor. If we fail again Dante will be furious. I will let no one get in my way of becoming human." Lust said sternly.
They walked down the street . At the end of the street they found a man selling valuable stones and jewelry.
"May I interest such a young beautiful woman in a necklace or earrings?" the man asked.
"No." Lust said as she extended her finger nails and stabbed the man.
"Damn it!" the man screamed as he died.
Gluttony raced up to Lust and asked "Can I eat him please Lust?!"
"Fine Gluttony if you must. You better enjoy it because unless I kill someone, you're not eating anyone." said Lust with anger.
The two continued there walk out of the town trying not to be seen. Even though it was very late they were not going to take any chances of being seen by the military. The two came across an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the town. They creped in silently looking around to see if anyone was there. They found none but they did find a secret passage. The two exhausted from the long walk did not attempt to check the passage way. Lust walked into the back of the warehouse and found tarps that her and Gluttony would use as blankets.
"Lust what about Pride, Envy, Sloth, Wrath and Greed? Where are they? What are they doing? What are we doing?" Gluttony asked and looked quite curious.
"Gluttony! You are…keep yourself together Lust-"she said refraining herself from yelling at Gluttony who had to be treated as a child "Gluttony, all I know is we are all looking for Full Metal and the boy in the suit of armor. Now get some sleep."
The two went to sleep. They awoke the next morning and looked for something to do. It was too dangerous for the Homunculus to travel in the day with the military around every corner. For eight years the military was the government and did whatever they wanted. The first year they took over, they attacked a city in the dessert called Ishbal. The military had pushed the unique people with dark skin and red eyes out of their town and into the open dessert. They killed most of the people. Some survived ,but had to start new lives and families in the middle of the dessert. Some survivors went and built a small town that followed the Ishbalan religion called Lior. The war had a tragic ending, but a young man who was exiled from Ishbal came to help the his people in the war. He was exiled for mutilating himself to try and perform a transmutation to bring back his lover who looked like Lust. The man had the idea of turning himself into a transmutation circle used for alchemy. The transmutation circle would take the lives of all the people of died and turn him into the legendary Philosophers Stone. It didn't work, the man was killed before he had enough lives to make himself the stone. But his young brother's arm was blown off by the Crimson Alchemist and the man gave his brother an arm as he died and saved the young boy who's name is Scar. Scar is older now and travels with the transmutation circle still on his arm from his brother. The arm absorbs shards of the stone and will soon make the Philosophers Stone.
"Gluttony it is time to move night has fallen and we have little time traveling at night." said Lust.
"Can I eat something first?" Gluttony asked as he swallowed the tarp.
"Gluttony you just ate are only blanket! Why do you follow me around?" Lust had anger in her eyes. Gluttony stood there with his finger in his mouth and looked blankly at Lust.
"Gluttony I asked you why?" said Lust and she started to pace Lust who was usually calm and content was now showing more emotion then she ever did.
"I love my Lust…" Gluttony whimpered. "I love…" Gluttony repeated.
"Gluttony we don't love…in fact we don't feel…we don't…" Lust said coming to a sad realization that her, Gluttony and the other homunculus were just bodies and minds and they had no souls. They missed one of the three parts that make humans human.
Gluttony stood there and just stared at Lust.
"But…Lust we can feel with the stone." Gluttony said trying to give his companion some hope and light on there dark lives.
"I will get the stone for my Lust…" Gluttony muttered under his breath. "I MUST!"
As night fell the two started to move they came across a train and jumped in a rail car. When they jumped in they noticed a small boy.
"CAN I PLEASE EAT HIM LUST PLEASE?!" Gluttony begged as he poked the boy.
"Get the hell off me." the boy said and slapped Gluttony "Lust you should try training the little beast. He could blow your cover, he can't just go around poking people and then eating them." the boy said as he transformed into a teen with black hair, wearing a headband and all black.
"Envy I can't do any thing about it he is a savage but simple beast. Why don't you take him." Lust said glaring at Gluttony.
"Aw…can I please?" Gluttony said as he ran into the shadows and started devouring the cargo.
"Good Gluttony." Envy purred as he sat down next to Lust. "So Lust did you find the boy?" He asked snobbishly knowing she had no luck or even a lead.
"I don't know Envy what do you think?" Lust glared at him. "Little basttered." she muttered under her breath.
"I heard that, but o well. So no leads? Nothing." Envy asked her.
"No." Lust said as she walked over to the door of the rail car.
"Why I fed you the stones I don't know?" said Envy.
"I know because that bitch Dante told you to!" Lust screamed at him.
"Don't you insult her Lust she has done nothing but good for you and the rest of us." Envy told Lust.
"She should of just let me rot in the dessert. The only reason she saved us was so we owed her are lives looking for the stone as she rots away…bitch she is!" Lust was furious and was kicking over crates and throwing them at the wall.
"Why? Why Envy why we can never die and will have to spend the time doing her dirty work." Lust was calming down . She sat down on a half broken crate do to her rage.
"Lust stop trying to feel emotion. You'll get your self in trouble with master. We aren't supposed to feel like those pitiful humans. Consider us…LUCKY! We will never die and well…we don't need to feel any thing. It is a gift!" Envy said fakely to Lust
"Envy all you want is to kill Hoenheim." Lust said to him.
"Lust don't you dare say that name again! I will kill him with my bare hands." Envy was pounding the ground as if it was Hoenheim and started to grin.
"Envy this is our stop. Lets go Gluttony!" Lust said and Gluttony walked out of the darkness and had multiple objects in his hands and mouth.
"Bye Envy." Gluttony said as he jumped out of the rail car onto the grass.
"Bye Gluttony." Envy said staring at Lust as she departed.
