Chapter 2
Awakening and Meeting
"Hey, Envy, wake up. I've got something for ya." a voice called for Envy from the darkness.
"What do you want Greed... Wait... Greed?" Envy got back to his senses, he realized that the crimson-stained marble floor has been replaced by a warm bed.
"Here" Greed said with a lazy smile, throwing a small bag onto Envy's opened the bag, revealing stones glinting 's face got angry, he won't give the bastard the pleasure of watching him eat, Greed knew what is Envy thinking so he stood up and left the room.
That crone finaly snapped with him eh? Heh her loss, Greed thought with a he has a chance to make her pay for keeping him closed for so long.
Leaving Envy be, he returned back to his couch and opened a bottle of champagne.A celebration was in Greed was celebrating, Envy is having a slight mental breakdown, his anger fueled by the redstones, burst into rage followed by is more familiar with rage more than any other homunculi but sadness was something new, something he never felt before, sadness wasn't the only thing wracking his triggered that emotion was beyond him, all this was banging at his head while he was making craters in the walls with his every inch of the 4 walls has been filled with craters, Envy fell to his knees and started went to check up on Envy but stopped in his tracks when he heard silent sobs coming from his room, Greed's smile turned into a slight frown.
"That bitch, how much more suffering does she need to inflict to be satisfied?" Greed whispered, spitting the word 'bitch' like it's poison.
Deciding to let Envy calm down, he got back to his other business.
Edward and Al were boarding a train heading towards Dublith, it's six in the morning and Edward is dead tired, barely keeping his eyelids open, at least he will get some shuteye on the train. Unfortuntely for him something he didn't expect was heading towards them.
"Is this seat taken?" A slightly feminine voice asked, Alphonse started to answer but he only opened his eyes to see what's wrong, the tiredness vanished from his eyes when he saw who eyes were looking at a questioning Envy, who was pointing at the seat by Al.
Wait...What is Envy doing here?
Did he just ask for something?
"Hey, any of you guys gonna answer?" the sin asked dully, trying not to laugh at Edward's facial expression.
"W-what are you d-doing here, E-envy?" Ed stammered from shock and fear, what is the maniac up to now?
"How do you know my name?" Envy asked, this is getting even more interesting.
"How do I know your name? You told me, you bastard!" Edward yelled at the sin, what kind of game is he playing?
Envy took a step back from the sudden outburst of the blonde, "Hey! No need to shout, to be honest I only remember waking up in a house in this city." the gray and black haired sin replied while rubbing his ear."I saw you two, so I figured that you could help me, and Dublith sounds familiar."All the while he was having the conversation, the screams from his mind grew more silent until they disappeared completly.
As Envy sat down next to Alphonse, he started to feel warm, even though Edward was eyeing him, Envy saw that the blonde was tired so he said,
"Don't worry short stuff, I won't hurt you or your little brother. If I do try something, I'm preety sure he would wake you up." and pointed towards the suit of armor but Edward already dozed off to sleep, just in time not to hear the short stuff comment.
The night was spent in silence, the light could barely break through the dim fog of boredom, that little enjoyment gave Envy was looking at the silly poses Edward made in his sleep.
Arriving at their station Envy got up, stretching, Ed is still sleeping, even though his brother was trying to wake him sin saw that the armor's attempts failed, he slapped the blonde boy across the face, effectivly waking him 's cheeks flushed a tint of crimson, his face contorted between pain and anger,
"Why the hell did you do that for!" he yelled his lungs out, Al laughed, earning a hateful glare.
"You were sleeping like a log, so I decided to wake you up." Envy shrugged, "Anyway we are here." he said, pointing out the got out of the train just in time to evade a running older Elric, who is dragging his younger sibling with inhuman strength.
"Brother, what about Envy?" the armor asked, confused by his older brothers sudden running.
"Don't know, don't care. He can rot in hell for all I care." Edward replied shortly.
Envy was a bit saddened, but shrugged the feeling off, he has to see why does this town sounds so walked around the streets, looking at every detail that might bring a memory. He passed by a street where that Fullmetal kid was being thrown in the air by a seriously pissed off woman, that made his day a little better, looking around he saw a small stone path that disappeared into the woods.
He suddenly saw a child happily running down the path and a yell,
"Jason, time to go home." a motherly voice called for the boy that sounded so familiar, rage started to boil in him, "Ok, mom. I'm coming!" the small boy replied, disappearing in the woods.
Still stunned by the vision, Envy didn't notice a person behind him, a hand landed on his left shoulder. He looked at it, the same tattoo he has on his thigh is on the back of the hand.
"Envy, you're done with her. She abandoned you at the very start." the man's voice was soothing, filled with pity.
"Let's go back, I didn't expect for you to go out so early. I think you should lay low for a while." he continued, slightly nudging Envy's shoulder back to were reluctant, like the man is afraid of him.
Envy followed the man's lead, on his back a leather jacket with a furry collar, his hair upright and spiky.
Envy is still in a slight trance, in his mind there were flashes of blood, his mother standing over tried to reach for her,
"Mother...How could you do this..." his voice hoarse, throat burning in agony, in a blink of an eye, she was infront of his face, a smug expression on her face.
"Don't worry my dear Jason, we will meet soon enough." her words echoed within his mind as his world grew dark.
After he snapped out of the trance, Envy realized to be holding hands with the man, who was still man abruptly stopped infront of a underground bar, a sign hanging 'Devil's Nest'.
"Uuhh..Who are you?" Envy finaly asked, if he was supposed to be holding hands with someone, he should atleast know who they are.
The man turned, his face revealing confusion, "Man, you broke down harder than I thought, I saw that you were in a trance so I had to almost drag you here." a smirk sneaked onto his lips.
Both of them went down into the bar, the man opened the door, revealing a room full of drunkards and shady people. A young person stood out from the rest, he looked just like Envy, but slightly different. He is hugging his legs, keeping them close to his chest, his hair covering his eyes. The man stopped, first looked at Envy and then looked at the sitting teen and back again.
The man started laughing, getting the attention of the whole bar, especialy of a group in the the group is a woman with a strange tattoo on her right side of the face and neck, a larger man in a blue outfit, and a guy with a sword on his waist. The man grabbed Envy in a headlock and grabbed the young teen with his other arm also into a headlock. The teen was first fazed, but then started to yell at the man.
"What the hell, Greed!"
"I got some bad news and some good news, but not here." Greed frowned at the bad part but his smirk came back on the good part.
They entered a room with a bar and two couches, he let go of them both and closed the door locking it. The young teen now realized that he was standing next to an almost identical replica.
"Who the hell is this! Why does he look like me!" The teen yelled, pointing his finger at Envy.
"Now Envy, calm down, he is the bad news and the good news." Greed answered calmly, "It seems Dante pulled off the same thing she and Hoenheim pulled off with you, that's the bad news. But the good news is that we have another one against her." his voice filled with hatred when mentioning Dante and ending the sentence with a smile.
The second Envy wasn't taking this very good, proving it with an outburst,
"How could she have another child without me knowing it! She made him just so she could replace me! That sick bitch even copied me!"
he raised his fist ready to bring down the entire building down, but his intent was stopped by a pale hand. before he could react, he was pulled into a hug by thin arms, he gasped. He hasn't been hugged for 400 years, the warmth, he missed it so much, he lost it when he became this thing. He couldn't hold it in, all those emotions that he hasn't felt for so long, started pouring out, he started to cry but those aren't tears of sadness but tears of joy, he finaly had something to hold on to. He killed all those people just to not be the only one who lost everything. Envy placed his hands on second Envy's shoulders and said.
"I don't know anything about you b-brother," he barely got through, "I don't even know much about myself either but if she did this to you and me then I will gladly see that she gets what she deserves to the end." determination could be seen in the black slits, Dante will pay for her sins.
"Yes little brother, she will." the older Envy replied with a was silently watching, this was taking too long,
"Ok, enough with the brofest, I'm preety sure Dante has our remains at the ready if we attack, and soon she will have your's too." Greed pointed to the younger Envy, who was confused about how his and their remains had anything to do with our plans for Dante.
"You see, we are a mistake from human transmutation, we are 'fake' versions of the person they wanted to bring back to life. If we are exposed to the remains of our past selves, we can be easily other words we are Homunculi, not human." Greed answered the un asked question, "In this case we will need help, and well the only one who can help us is the Fullemetal kid and his brother."
"Fullmetal?" the younger Envy asked, "What can that blond shorty help us against Dante?"
"You met the Fullmetal pipsqueak? When?"
"First I met them in Central, I followed them to a huge white building in the centre, I think. Some colonel gave them an assignment to investigate criminal activity here, presumably your's Greed." the younger sin answered, pointing at Greed, "They are here, in Dublith, at-"
Before he could finish his sentence, someone was knocking on the door,
"Boss, I have urgent news!" the unknown person called from behind the unlocked the door and let in a little scrawny guy, his skin colour gray.
"What is it Bido?" Greed asked, his eyebrow arched, what was so urgent?
"We found a kid with the same tattoo as yours on his foot, unfortunately he has been caught by the military." Bido gave his report, slightly fidgety.
Greed's smile got wider by the news, two birds with one can get the Fullmetal's attention and a new homunculus to their is sure that Dante found out as well and that she's on the move but she is seriously hindered by her lack of Envy's expertise.
"We are on it."
