House of Homunculi
Disclaimer: I do not own Full Metal Alchemist.
Even though I wish I did, I don't own it. Arakawa Hiromu does.
And I respect her highly for it.
I own the fansubs tho, but that's about it.
Introduction
Ever wondered why Greed went Solo?
Why Envy has his hair the way it is?
Why Gluttony likes Lust as much as he does?
Well, Here's my version. Some of the facts are true, thus leading to some spoilers but the small points that aren't told in the manga and Anime I decided to use my imagination and String them together!
Welcome to the House of Homunculi, basically its a story based on the Homunculus' point of view. There are a few spoilers so if you guys are like allergic to Spoilers or don't want some details ruined for you, then please press the 'Go back one page' button to return to the Full Metal Alchemist Fanfic page. Anyway, now that we have that settled, this is my first Full Metal Alchemist Fanfic please be gentle. I accept criticism, as I always say, Criticism is necessary to become a better writer/artist.
Main point: You will see some of the other characters. And the story goes a little off from the anime. I was inspired to write this because of the death of My favorite Homunculus, Greed. (Such a sad ending for him) I have all the episodes (except the movie) so if there are any questions than feel free to ask.
Characters in our Play
Each chapter somewhat changes the point of view from time to time.
Lust- A female homunculus with much
sex appeal. Lust has connections to Scar and she too is a member of the
House of Homunculi. Sometimes she can be very cold blooded and wouldn't
hesitate to kill someone. Her abilities is that she can extend her
nails and stab them in a blink of an eye. She is also known as the
"Ultimate Lance."
Role in the Play: The one who does most of the dirty work
Gluttony- A Homunculus with a massive appetite. Gluttony always
sticks around Lust and is very attached to her. Obedient and
sometimes adorable he may have one of the most powerful abilities, that
of which is that he can eat almost ANYTHING. The sad part is that he
can never satisfy his hunger, no matter how much he eats.
Role in the Play: The Hungry one
Envy- The First Homunculus created and
the first member of the House of Homunculi. Powerful, easily angered
and extremely hostile, Envy can change his form into almost anyone or
anything. He was supposedly created over 400 years ago. Envy's
personality is quite complex, sometimes he may take orders and
accomplish his mission with great satisfaction. Other times he does
whatever he feels like, leading to trouble. As of now, he is the most
popular homunculus.
Role in the Play: The extremely hostile one! DANGER!
Greed-
The Second Homunculus created. He
once served his Master Dante but 140 years ago he was
sealed (in this case was given a 'Time Out'.) Due to his Independent
nature and his desire for everything in the world. He is approximately
200
years old and still kicking! My favorite homunculus, he is known as the
'Ultimate Shield' and can make his body become as hard as diamond. Like
Envy, Greed possesses impressive strength. Independent, Carefree and
Greedy, Greed is the type that can never be pushed over the edge no
matter how hard you force him.
Role in the Play: The rebellious one
Pride-
The only Homunculus that ages. He
is connected directly to Dante herself and is known as 'King Bradley'
the Fuhrer a.k.a the President. He possesses the "Ultimate Eye" and
with it can do magnificent feats despite his aging body. People believe
he is a human, but we know better. Pride is the homunculus that pretty
much brings order in not only the Country but among the house as well.
As his name implies, he is Proud as one of the top, and has a tendency
of looking down on others, thus underestimating his enemies.
Role in the Play: The one who keeps everything in Order
Sloth-
The youngest of the homunculi that were created, she was created by
Edward Elric in attempt to resurrect his mother. Always working and
doing the paperwork, Sloth works under Pride in the military as his
private secretary. Sloth can turn into water and controls water that
surrounds her. She is the information collecter.
Role in the play: Mother-like role. she does the paperwork, she is afterall a secretary.
Wrath-
The youngest Homunculus physically and mentally, wrath is the only
Homunculus that can use Alchemy. Created by Izumi Curtis in attempt to
resurrect her only baby, Wrath too, is violent and angry. He sees Sloth
as his "mommy" and even though he may be innocent (sometimes) he is
also quite dangerous. Wrath possesses both the arm and leg of Edward
Elric.
Role in the Play: The 'Baby'
Dante-
The 'Absolute Mother' in the household. She was the one who created
Greed, Gluttony and Pride. Living for over 400 Years, she isn't what
she appears in reality. Living in the House isolated by a forest, She
is a master of Alchemy and has some connection with Hohenheim of Light.
Role in the Play: The Dictator Mother-ship herself.
More characters will appear in the course of the Story.
Chapter 1: Homunculus' Curse
Act I: Birth of a Homunculus
Scene 1
-Enter Envy and Dante-
Setting: Dante's House, Library
Approximately 200 years ago
The house was silent, still and completely dark. Hidden in the woods, isolated from the outside world, this house was known to be owned by a single woman. No news is heard from this house, not much anyway. The house itself is extremely large, massive like a mansion. The woman, by the name of Dante recently lost her husband. Many people anticipated that this would happen. The couple before, lost a husband as well. Even before that another husband died. The house was considered cursed, why was it that men died in that house? Leaving the old widow behind. It was strange, it was odd, it was scary... The outside world knew very little. Dante, was her name, Alchemy was her expertise. Soon over time, the rumors died down.
Dante smiled, Good, she thought, Making them believe all of this proves that they don't suspect my aging body. Dante, the owner of this house is over 400 years old. Taking on many appearaces, she married many men to hide her secret. This was probably her 3rd or 4th Husband by now. She didn't know the number, not like it mattered. They were just pawns for her, no love included. The only man she loved was by the title, Hohenheim of Light. The man who created the Philosopher's Stone.
The Music that flowed through the large house echoed across the halls. It was the song of a woman singing, it was mysterious, it was old, it was nostalgic. Dante was in an empty room, surrounded by books and tables, the room had massive windows and a spiral staircase. (Note! The room that Edward kills Greed in the anime) The quietness died down as loud stomping could be heard from below. From across the hall she spotted Envy, the Homunculus her beloved created, their child. Envy took on the appearance of a slim male, young and cute, with wild Green hair. He didn't like his real form, often times he would shatter a mirror from the mere sight.
"Am I interrupting something?" Envy asked almost annoyed.
"No," Dante replied.
He swiftly removed the needle from the old record player. The mesmerizing tune died. This was Envy, son of Hohenheim, the boy that tragically died from Mercury Poisoning as a baby. Death came too quickly. Hohenheim attempted to bring it back... well... we'll see... Dante smiled as Envy entered the room. Dante didn't look the same as she did in the present. She took on the appearance of a young lady with blonde, curly hair. She may have had 3 or 4 husbands but this was probably her 3rd or 4th body that she "stole".
"Envy, didn't I tell you to be less impatient all the time?" Dante asked smiling.
"Yeah, yeah," Envy replied rudely, "You called for me, and now I'm here. What do you want?"
"Oh?" Dante asked, "I was just wondering, Envy are you tired of waiting?"
"Waiting?" Envy asked, his dangerous eye perking up. "Waiting for what? What do you mean waiting?"
"Don't you want to look for him?" Dante asked coyly.
Envy's eyes widened in anger. "Where is he? Where is that prick?" Envy demanded. "Do you know where he is? Tell me, now!"
"Oh?" Dante replied with a smile, "Envy, I didn't know you wanted to see your father that badly."
"I'll kill him..." Envy slammed his fist on the ground continuously, the impact created a series of deep craters. The house echoing from the slams. Envy was disturbed, his eyes wide with anger. "I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him!"
"I want to see him, too." Dante replied, She clapped her hands together and fixed the floor of the room. Envy sure leaves quite the mess. It was up to mommy to clean up after him. "It's time he comes back home, comes back to us. Why don't you go look for him, Envy?"
"Where is he?" The homunculus asked impatiently.
"Heh," Dante shook her head, "Foolish Envy, if I knew than he would be here with us, wouldn't he? I want you to go search for him..."
"My pleasure..." Envy replied with an evil grin. The Homunculus headed for the door, his hand gripping the Doorknob of the large double doors. "I'll make sure to make his life a living hell..."
"Oh, Also, Bring him home alive!" Dante called out. "And bring your younger brother with you!"
"I don't need his help! I could find the prick on my own!" Envy replied defiantly. His hand began to crush the knob in his hand, the adrenaline was rushing rapidly.
"Envy, bring your younger brother with you." Dante repeated more sternly. Envy paused for a moment, with a deep sigh he shrugged.
"Where is that ball of Shit?" Envy asked, "He better not drool on me or else I'll punch him in the face again... wait no..." Envy laughed, "He doesn't have much of a face! Not one that's pretty enough to punch, anyway! He looks like a pile of crap with arms connected to his legs!"
"I fed him already, he's probably still eating." Dante replied, "He's actually beginning to look like the real thing. Actually, he looks alot like the real thing."
"Yeah, yeah," Envy giggled, "He probably still looks like shit. I don't like this homunculus or the real one either... he's a Shit ball now and he was a shit ball then."
"You looked like that too, you know..." A smile appeared on her lips, "When your father made you, that is..."
Envy's eye widened in anger. He broke the doorknob off the door but held back on creating more destruction. "Oh really? Fine... where is he?" Envy repeated his eyes twitching.
"He's probably in his room. Go get him." Dante replied.
"Hmph, stupid... ball of..." Envy was cut off with more curses that rambled out of his mouth. "He'll probably slow me down, anyway... useless crap..." Without a moments hesitation Envy exited the room slamming the door behind him. The Door was now cracked and broken, covered with splinters. Dante could hear him stomp his way up the stairs, followed by some more yelling and curses. Dante once again clapped her hands together and fixed the broken door. That boy... he sure loves to break things. She gave a small sigh and a chuckle.
"My, Sometimes I don't even know why I named him Envy." Dante sighed, "He fits more of a Wrath when it comes to his father..."
Scene 2
-Enter Greed-
Setting: Greed's Bedroom, Dante's House
Envy stomped up the staircase. Obviously he was angry, actually he was downright pissed off. But no matter how angry he was, a smile was on his face, he was excited. Nothing like a good family reunion... He wanted to see his father, see him twist in pain and agony. Scream Hell and Blasphemy as Envy would torture him till the man would cry like a child... like the child he left behind! Envy began to chuckle in pleasure, the idea was so exciting. He was so happy, he was thrilled.
"I'll show him pain..." Envy chuckled, "I'll make him cry and beg... then when he can't cry anymore... I'll kill him."
Envy slammed the door open as he reached the last bedroom in the hall. The Door swung open loudly as he looked around. That was strange... the room was empty. There wasn't a ball of shit anywhere, no mutilated deformed creature that looked like an inside out abomination. He could see the pan that the Monster was in... it was empty except for a few blood stains. The room was empty, the window open. He looked around, nothing... Maybe he got the wrong room? He peeked outside of the hallway. Hmm...nothing. Envy swallowed hard... Oh Shit, the idiot must have snuck out the window! He ran to the window and looked around frantically. There was no sign of him anywhere!
"Ah, Crap!" Envy yelled kicking the floor.
He then heard Dante's voice echoing from the floor below. "By the way, Envy! I moved him into your room!"
"What...?" Envy asked in disbelief. "Why?"
"He said he wanted more windows!" Dante called.
"It can talk?" Envy asked in disgust. "Since when?"
"Since this morning!" Dante replied. "His first statement was "I want!"
"I want...?" Envy asked confused.
"So take good care of Greed!" Dante replied.
"His name is 'Greed'?" Envy's eyes began to twitch... "What kind of name is THAT? Oh wait... but then again, My name is Envy... so..."
Envy walked over to his own room on the other side of the hall. He could hear some rustling inside the room... was this Greed? Envy shrugged, even if there is another homunculus like him he probably wasn't as strong. Envy held the doorknob in his hand, he was shaking with excitement. His father, precious Hohenheim will be his and very soon... he'll be dead! Envy kicked the door open (he seems to like doing this alot) and stood in front of his new 'Brother'.
"Get moving you Shitball! We're off to hunt down Hohenheim's Ass!" Envy roared.
Facing away from him was a tall, muscular man. He had black pants that he picked up and a tight sleeveless black shirt. Actually, it didn't look like a shirt at all. He quietly placed a Black Leather jacket over his shoulders. The Jacket was black with white fur on the collar. Envy recognized this man, his clothes... He hated it this man, His hair was spiky, and his eyes sharp... So this was the new Homunculus, Greed. Greed turned around facing Envy, he gave a small smirk. "Who's a shitball, Envy?" Greed asked, "I'm called Greed, but you can call me Ultimate Shield." Over his head was a small towel and in his clenched fist was a cluster of Red Stones he's been feeding on. He placed a piece of the shiny red rock in his mouth and chewed on it. Envy noticed on his wrist were a few leather bands and below that, on his hand, was the tattoo of the Uroborus...
"Yeah, Yeah..." Envy waved his hand, "I don't give a crap, I'm only bringing you along because she asked me to. For all I care you can go die in a hole."
"Oh, Really?" Greed shrugged, "Not like I want to go with an ugly crossdressing hag like you, either."
Envy's eyes widened in anger, "What did you call me?" Envy asked menacingly, "I never asked a moron like you to talk back!"
"Never said I couldn't." Greed chuckled. Envy, pissed off, threw a fist at Greed's face, the impact would have caused Dante's whole house to fall apart. Apparently, the house was still standing. Envy jumped backwards staring in astonishment, Greed was still standing. The Skin where he was punched became black and protected by some strange material.
"What the hell are you...?" Envy asked, his eyes twitching in both confusion and anger.
"I told you already, I'm the Ultimate Shield." Greed replied putting a hand on his cheek, "It didn't hurt by the way."
A small smile appeared on Envy's face. "Interesting... Well, atleast you aren't some pulsating nightmare..."
Greed shrugged once more and gave a mocking laugh, "You don't actually believe I'll wear this, do you?" Greed asked holding up a pile of clothes in the corner, it looked similar to what Envy wore, "No way Am I wearing tights and a skirt."
"Take that back," Envy hissed, "I like these clothes by the way. Makes me look young and cute."
"Hmm maybe for you. Your nothing but an old hag, anyway..." Greed replied coolly tossing the clothes on the bed, "Whatever, I found these nice pants and shoes in the other room, Black Leather feels real nice."
Envy broke open the door and walked out, "Whatever, It was your clothes when you were alive, anyway..." Greed was silent at the remark, His eyes squinting in anger and somewhat discomfort. Envy waltzed out of the room, "Greeeed, what a stupid name." Envy snickered.
"What do you want me to call you then, ENVY?" Greed asked. "Ultimate-!"
"Monster." Envy quickly interrupted, as if reflex his fist was aimed straight at Greed's torse. The arm transformed into a long thin knife ready to Stab into Greed. "I like to be called Monster, thank you very much." he said with an evil grin, "And, don't you forget it..."
Greed smiled and gave a shrug, "Whatever you say, Monster..." He brushed off the dust on his leather jacket.
"ENVY! GREED!" It was Dante's voice, "What's taking you so long? Hurry up and get down here!"
Scene 3
-Off on a mission-
Setting: Dante's House, The Library
Greed and Envy entered the Room. Dante sat herself of a table by the window gazing out at the Forest beyond her home. The world was a cruel, disgusting and despicable place. Dante knew that among all these fools, only two people stood on top. Herself, 'Dante of the Forest' and the infamous 'Hohenheim of Light', her one true love. They were the only ones who were worth it, they two were the only ones who reigned supreme. He was alive, she knew it... but why did he leave her? In her clenched hands was an envelope... He's alive... and she needs him beside her. The door opened and in came Envy and Greed.
She turned around and smiled at the two "children". Envy walked up with Greed behind him, Envy was eager to go, eager to find that prick, that no-good father, Hohenheim. No... he didn't even want to call him Father. With Long and quick strides he stormed his way to Dante. Greed who was looking around the house, whistled, his hands in his pocket as he walked up taking his time. The house was nice... He could get use to this. He walked slowly, dawdling calmly.
"My, Greed..." Dante gave him a kind smile. "You look so much like... well..."
"Hmm?" Greed replied fixing his attention on Dante. Normally he would hit on someone so beautiful, but this wasn't the case. An air of uneasiness surrounded her. Greed didn't know much about what it meant... but it wasn't a very good sign at all. Dante may look young and beautiful, but he knew better. This was his 'creator' this was Dante... that kind smile was just a fake.
"Welcome Greed, my name is Dante." Dante replied.
"Yo." Greed replied simply.
"Did you finish your breakfast, honey?" Dante asked with a smile. "Wasn't it tasty?"
"Yeah, it would have tasted great..." Greed replied with a whistle, "But I have other tastes too, you know." He pulled out some red stones from his pocket, and dropped them on the ground. The small red stones on the floor. Dante grew a bit angry...
"Now, now..." Dante answered irritated, "You shouldn't be ungrateful..."
"She's right you know." Envy snickered.
"Come here..." Dante commanded soothingly.
Greed paused, shrugged then walked up to her. Dante put her hand on his face. Greed looked away. Whistling some more, he preferred not to make eye contact.. "You know, you look alot like him." Dante replied, "My old husband, that is. You even found some of his clothes... they look good on you."
"You don't say..." Greed replied, sarcastically.
Envy snickered. Which Husband? Envy laughed to himself. She had so many.
"Greed, Envy I want you to look for Hohenheim." Dante replied, "I heard a City in the Eastern border vanished, Go investigate."
"Eh, what for?" Greed asked scratching his ear.
"Xerxes vanished, Hohenheim's duty no doubt." Dante replied, "Now go find him, and remember... bring him alive."
"And you want me to go along?" Greed asked unenthusiastically. "I'd rather chill here but..." With a flash of anger Envy grabbed Greed's collar. His eyes blazing in anger... Greed only looked down with little interest.
"You got a problem?" Greed asked as Envy pulled him upwards.
"Shut up and get moving!" Envy yelled, "The sooner I find Hohenheim, the sooner I can kill him!"
"Hey, don't drag me into your stupid Family feud." Greed replied. "This has nothing to do with me."
"You Bastard!" Envy threw another punch at Greed, the Ultimate Shied quickly jumped back. He was surprisingly quick on his feet. Dante merely smiled, she wanted to see her new Homunculus in action. Greed gave another whistle.
"My, aren't we the little short tempered fireball?" Greed gave a laugh. Dodging more of Envy's quick blows, Greed quickly moved backwards. "Come on, little bastard..." Greed provoked.
"Let's see how tough you are!" Envy, with his agile movement grabbed Greed's head with his legs and slammed it as hard as he could down on the polished floor. Envy jumped back as Greed got up on his feet, the crater created by his head's impact was huge. Greed smiled and cracked his neck. Envy could see the hard diamond-like skin protecting his body.
"Doesn't hurt." Greed replied. "Looks like your serious, I can get serious too." The Enveloping diamond like skin began to creep around him starting from the chest. Before the tranformation was complete Dante stepped in.
"Now, now kids. I asked you for a favor, now get to it." Dante replied sternly, "Envy, I'm disappointed in you. Don't you want to go see your father?"
"He started it!" Envy pointed at Greed.
"Hey, hey, that's not cool." Greed replied, "I didn't start anything."
"I don't care who started it." Dante replied clapping her hands together and tapping the floor, the crater instantly vanished replaced by shiny and polished tiles. Her alchemy was impressive. Greed gave another whistle.
"Wow, cool." Greed replied in astonishment. He tapped the floor with his foot.
"Don't expect to do it, idiot." Envy replied, "You're not human, you don't have a soul. Therefore, you can't do alchemy."
"What? Really?" Greed asked, "What a bummer..."
"So, Greed... will you help Envy find Hohenheim?" Dante asked.
"..." Greed paused. "Well... Not like I care. But I guess there's nothing else to do so..." He stared at Dante, "Yeah, I'll go find him."
"Really? How nice..." Dante smiled, "By the way Greed, you really should be more Considerate... you are part of this family, and you WILL find him..."
"Welcome to the family." Envy replied shaking in laughter.
"..." Greed looked away for a moment, then shrugged, "Yeah, yeah, family's nice and all..."
"Come on, Idiot." Envy replied grabbing Greed's ear, "The sooner we find Hohenheim, the better!" The Two Homunculus' left Dante's presence. Dante stared oddly as the two exited out of the House and walked through the garden below. She could hear their constant squabbling from below.
"Get off my Ear, you old Hag!" Greed yelled.
"WHAT'D YOU CALL ME?" Envy screamed back.
"Really?" Dante sighed, "They act so much like children... well..." She turned around and pulled out the small envelope from her dress. "Hohenheim... my love, looks like you didn't forget me afterall..." Dante read the old love letter from inside the Envelope and also it came with a present. Glowing a bright crimson in her hand she held it up, a Stone made of pure Human lives. The Philosopher's Stone... It was maybe half of the Stone, but sure enough here it was. The Stone that could bring her immortality.
"Just you wait, Hohenheim... I'll be waiting." Dante giggled.
Ok, so here's the Story in the baddy's point of view. Was it good? Boring? Stupid? Let me know! If I get any reviews or anything maybe I'll continue the story... Or I might just be bored and do it anyway. Please Read and Review!
LOVE GREED! (Cried so much when he died... Cried even more when I read the manga...) To all you Greed fans, the Manga is 10x more SADDER! Love Fansubs See ya laters!
