GW: Here's the second chapter of the story, where we will focus in on Revenge's personality a bit more. And, let me tell you, she's full of angst. Plus, Hypocrisy appears and she doesn't belong to me. She belongs to JeanKazuhiza's friend.
Revenge: Let's just get this stupid chapter rolling.
Revenge
"Lust, I'm hungry," Gluttony groaned as the three sins sat on top of a roof, trying to spot the Elric's and Braveheart. They were accompanied by another person. She looked like a teenager with medium brown hair in a ponytail and dark violet eyes. She wore a long black dress, black boots, and fingerless gloves with the Ouroborous tattoo on her left shoulder. She was Hypocrisy, Revenge's friend and a rogue Homunculus.
"You're always hungry," Hypocrisy said with an eye-roll before turning to Revenge and saying, "I don't even work for Dante. Why did I come?"
"Because you're doing it for your friend?" Revenge said.
"No way," Hypocrisy deadpanned.
"Then, for sisterhood?"
"Get out."
"Then, you're doing this for the opportunity to beat Braveheart to a pulp," Revenge said with a smirk.
"…I'll get warmed-up," Hypocrisy smirked back before turning back to the two major sins. Revenge then caught something behind and turned to it.
"Actually, there's something I wanted to tell you two that might interest you," Lust said, but when she looked to see the two minor sins, she only saw Hypocrisy.
"Where's Revenge?" the woman asked the girl, who shrugged. "What do I look like, her keeper?" Hypocrisy retorted.
Lust sighed as the minor sin asked, "So, what was that thing you were about to say?"
Revenge snuck around the corner, peeking out to see three people causing a scene out on the street. One was a boy with blonde hair and eyes wearing a red coat, black pants, and boots with an automail arm and leg. He was Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist.
The second was a boy younger than Ed with dirty blonde hair and gold eyes. He wore a black shirt under a black vest, black pants, boots, and white gloves. He was Alphonse Elric, Ed's little brother.
The last was a girl with short copper brown hair, brownish-blue eyes, and wearing a blue T-shirt, a white scarf, a lavender skirt, knee-high white stockings, brown school-girl shoes, and a blue headband. She also had an automail leg and arm. This was Iris Reinheart, the Braveheart Alchemist. And right now, the two State Alchemists were causing a scene…
"Flat-chest!"
"Shorty!"
"Not cute!"
"Pipsqueak Hack-of-an-Alchemist!"
"Homely!"
"WHY ARE YOU SO COMPLICATED!!" the two alchemists screamed.
"Guys, you're making others stare," Al sighed sweat-dropping. "Now that you're partners, you should get along."
"Just because Mustang paired us together, doesn't mean I'll work with the plain chick!" Ed said angrily.
"Well, I don't want to work with a dumb brat," Iris said angrily.
As the alchemists kept bickering, Revenge sighed, "This is too easy. I'll just knock them out with my alchemy."
But, as she was about to clap her hands together, she heard an annoying high-pitched voice, "Kevy!"
The Homunculus turned, a pissed-off look on her face, but stopped when she saw the cheerleader Brittney talking with her boyfriend, the quarterback Kevin (both from Daria).
"You didn't forget our anniversary did you?" Brittney said, twirling her hair.
"Course not, babe," the boy smiled as he pulled out a case and handed it to her. "I'm not that dumb."
The girl opened the case and gasped, pulling out a gold locket. "Oh, Kevy, it's beautiful!"
After putting it on, she embraced her man and started to make-out with him.
Revenge then started to get a headache, but not from the two dumb kids. Clutching her head, she leaned up against the wall and went into a flashback…
A teenaged girl and a boy were standing in the middle of a field, similar to the Sound of Music.
"Alright, what's the big surprise that you had to drag me out here?" the girl sighed to the boy.
"I just wanted to look into your eyes all day," the boy grinned.
"Haru!" she snapped.
"Alright, here; happy anniversary," the boy known as Haru smiled, giving a case to the girl.
She smiled as she pulled out a silver Flamel necklace. "Haru, thank you. It's beautiful," she said as she put her new gift on.
Haru then embraced the girl and said, "We'll be together forever, Ren..."
Revenge then opened her eyes to notice that she was leaning on the wall and sweating a bit.
She got up, regained her composure, and looked at her necklace thoughtfully. "The same flashback that I keep seeing…" she sighed hopelessly.
Then, looking around, she noticed that both couple and alchemists were gone. "Dammit, they're gone!" she growled.
Sighing, she started to walk off from her spot as sad music played in the background.
Gazing at ToonCity, she said softly, "Different town, but…a weird feeling of remembrance is here," before she sang.
Revenge: I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
Walking through town, she came near a fountain and looked into it to see her reflection, then it changed to the boy she saw in her flashback, Haru.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
She then splashed the water angrily and turned her back it. Walking away she looked up to see that the sky was darkening, about to rain soon.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
She ran under a nearby canvas as a mini-storm blew in. Revenge watched the rain sadly, knowing that she can't remember all of her past even though there's still a part of her that wants to remember.
But you still have
All of me
The rain then subsided as the Homunculus walked from under her safety. Avoiding puddles, she walked until reaching the end of town, still singing her song.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Looking up at the partly cloudy, Revenge gasped as she saw Haru's face in the clouds. She then looked away and kept moving out into the wilderness outside of town.
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Revenge then saw the girl from her flashback, Ren. The Homunculus stared back as the girl looked on.
"Who are you? Are you…me?" Revenge asked. Ren disappeared as Revenge called out, "Wait!" The non-human gritted her teeth in frustration. How come she can never know her past when its in her reach!?
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
Revenge now started to see the boy in between the trees. Wanting to get away from him, she started to run through the woods.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
Managing to get out of the woods, the teen stood on a cliff looking over ToonCity.
She sank to her knees as she finished her song.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
Revenge let loose one tear as she sang,
But you still have
All of me
Revenge sighed. "I'll never find out about my past."
"My, I didn't know that the teenage-angst gallery is in town," a familiar feminine voice joked. Revenge got to her feet as she saw the three alchemists she was supposed to be trailing were behind her.
"Huh!? Wha!? How did you!?" Revenge said in a confused tone.
"You're not exactly the best spy around," Ed smirked. "We followed you out here."
"Were you sent to spy on us?" Alphonse asked. In response, Revenge transmuted a spear and tried attacking the three.
"Here's Miss Period, everyone," Iris said as she grabbed the spear and Ed broke it with his now transmuted arm.
"You want to remember your past, right? We could help you," Al said. Revenge was shocked. They wanted to help her? They were supposed to be her enemies.
Before she could respond, long fingernail spears went through her and pulled her towards a waiting Lust, Gluttony, and Hypocrisy.
"I knew there were more Homunculi in on this," Iris growled as she and Ed got ready to fight.
Instead, Hypocrisy came forward with a sly smirk and she said in an almost hypnotic voice, "You're going to forget everything you saw right here and the time you chased my delusional comrade."
"Delusional?" Revenge was about to say, but Lust silenced her. Ed, Al, and Iris had all eyes on Hypocrisy.
"You're going back to town and do whatever it was that you were doing before this happened. Understood?"
Just then, Iris turned on Ed and said, "Brat! We've got to get back to town or Mustang will have our heads!"
"Don't call me a brat, you plain girl!" Edward shouted as both teens raced into town.
Alphonse remained, glaring at Hypocrisy. She smirked and said smoothly, "well, aren't you going after them?"
With one last glare on the Homunculi and a sympathetic look at Revenge, Al went after his brother and friend.
"Piece of cake," Hypocrisy smiled back at the three Homunculi.
"I like cake," Gluttony said as Lust released the minor sin.
While Revenge was patching up her wounds, Lust scolded her, "You could've jeopardize the mission. What were you thinking?"
Revenge looked down before replying, "I…I just want to remember my past life."
Lust gave the girl a sympathetic look. The woman was also trying to regain her memory with little success.
"Anyways," Lust said. "Before you ran off, I have something that'll interest you."
"Really?" Revenge said with no emotion. Then, Hypocrisy said to her buddy, "Just listen. It's something I know you'll like."
Revenge looked at a smirking Lust and a crazy-looking Gluttony. "Alright; I'm listening."
Revenge: There, you now know that I'm one of those angst-ridden brats you read about in sappy stories.
GW: Shut up! Anyways, the next chapter will be the intro to the final minor sin, Chaos! Song recommendations are accepted; flames will not be.
