Chapter 2- Training.
The next morning I was awaken by a knock on my door. I sat up in my bed, stretching myself and sighing.
"Come in." I called, tossing the covers away from me.
"Good morning, Radiance." Lust murmured, entering my room with a small folded piece of clothing in her hands.
"Morning, Lust." I responded quickly.
She held out the clothing for me and I took it.
"Father wants you to wear this. He gave one to Nevaeh too." She told me before turning around. "Well I've got a mission with Gluttony. See you in a few days."
"Good luck." I said as she shut the door.
I held up the clothing. It was a tube top that only covered my breasts and matching short black leather shorts.
"Great." I hissed.
I slid out of my black dress and slipped into the new clothing. It fit snugly. After running my fingers threw my long hair I walked out into the hallway. There was a figure in the hallway a bit always from me but I quickly noticed it was Greed. I had decided to ignore what he had done last night before I went to bed. When he pressed me to the wall and brushed his nose along my neck and collar bone, I didn't feel anything intimidating or uneasy so I let it go.
"Greed!" I yelled, getting his attention.
"Mornin' Dollface." He said with a smirk, waiting for me to catch up to him.
My pace sped up and he started walking again when I was at his side. "What's the plan for today?" I asked.
"Well, Father will probably want you and Nevaeh to get some training in." He said, putting a finger to his lips.
"Yes, a ten year old defiantly need training." I rolled my eyes.
"Don't worry. He wont let her get hurt, besides you guys can't die. At least not easily." He reassured me.
"Right. This is going to take some getting used to. I never thought my sister and I would need to know how to fight for a big muscely man." I giggled. "What exactly do the missions consist of?"
Greed turned serious. "Oh. This and that. Mostly finding Philosophers stones and offing military personnel.."
"Offing? You mean like killing?" I asked, my voice raising as we got to the end on the hallway.
"Ah Radiance! How are you adjusting?" Father's booming voice filled the room.
I looked away from Greed and to Father. Envy was standing next to him, arms crossed, smug smirk on his face.
"Well. May I ask where Nevaeh is?" I responded, worried that I hadn't seen my little sister yet.
"Needn't you worry. She's training with Wrath and Sloth. They'll take good care of her and when you're done with your training you may see her. Sound good?" His voice echoed threw out the giant space. He seemed rather kind, considering the process he ran underground.
"Sounds good." I nodded, eager to fight.
"Greed." Father said, motioning for him to come forward.
Greed walked over and glared at Envy shortly before standing on the other side of Father's huge chair.
"First you'll be fighting Envy. After you'll be fighting Greed and his ultimate shield. Ready?"
I nodded. Then he looked to Envy who nodded, without removing his gaze from me.
"Go." Father said.
And with that Envy raced towards me, fist curled and ready to collide with me. I raised my arm blocking the blow and pushing it away from me.
"Do you have any powers, Radiance?" Father asked.
"Yes." I said, dodging another fist. "I can make things combust and make humans think what I want." I swung my leg and my foot hit Envy's shoulder. He grabbed my foot and pulled me towards him.
"Please show me." Father demanded.
Obeying, I focused energy on Envy's hands. As I pulled my foot away I forced his hands the explode from the inside. Envy screamed for a moment before his hands started to regenerate. I heard Greed whistle and father say, "My, well that's, impressive." I smiled, proud of myself.
"Damn." Envy said, looking at me with wide eyes.
Then he dove on my, tackling me to the ground. A yelp of surprise escaped my lips. I got one of my feet press to his stomach and pushed him away. As he fell back on to the ground, I jumped on him. I held my hands on his throat, cutting of any and all air supplies. His eyes bored into mine and a feeling of pure…want flushed threw my mind. Everything in the giant room vanished from my sight and all I saw was Envy. Without thinking, my head slowly began to lean towards his, towards his lips.
"Envy! Are you really going to let her take you down so easily?" Father's voice yelled, bringing the room back to my vision.
"No." Envy growled with a smirk, flipping me over. Now he was chocking me. I closed my eyes and forced my energy into his hands and made them rip apart with my mind. Bits of his flesh tickled my neck as they fell to the floor.
"FUCK!" He yelled in what I could only imagine to be agony.
I jumped up and looked to Father, he was smiling at Envy. My eyes focused back to Envy. Only Envy wasn't there. In his place was Nevaeh.
"You can change forms!" I gasped in amazement.
:Very good Radiance." Father exclaimed.
"Can you fight your little sister?" Envy pondered in my sister's voice.
"Of course." without waiting another second, I dove at him. I gripped his shoulders and forced him on to the ground before once again combusting another part of his body. This time it was his leg.
"You bitch!" He screamed as I stood up and took a step away from him. His leg regenerated rather quickly. A white light started at his feet and traveled up his body, leaving his original form in place of my sister's. He stood up and looked at me with anger in his eyes. Those eyes shifted into a reptilian slant. I gasped and my eyes widened in surprise. I saw red sparks around his stomach and back.
"Enough Envy." Father ordered.
The red sparks disappeared from Envy's body and his eyes went back to normal but still help anger in them. Father motioned for Envy to come back and stand with him. Envy obeyed, clearly annoyed. "Greed." He nodded Greed forward.
"Ready Dollface?" He asked, cracking his knuckles.
"Yes." I said with confidence.
He took off his vest and dropped it to the floor while I steadied myself. His eyes met mine and I began focusing my energy on to his torso but something felt…off. Wrong even. It felt like I was toying with a new material. It was something I had never felt before. My eyebrows pulled together as I tried to rip his flesh apart with my mind. It wasn't working. Why the hell wasn't it working!
Greed smiled as he neared me. I began backing up.
"I can feel that. You're trying to rip my stomach clear off of me aren't you?" Greed said with confidence that intimidated me.
"Yes. I am but, I can't." I grumbled growing frustrated.
"That's because I am the ultimate shield." Greed explained. "Almost nothing can penetrate it."
So that's what father meant by 'Greed and his ultimate shield'.
Not knowing what else to do, I ran towards Greed, closing the space between us. My fist collided with his jaw and it HURT.
"Ow!" I yelped, yanking my fist away.
On his jaw, where my fist had hit him was a metal looking spot. I figured that must have been his shield. I knew then, that this was going to be difficult. I huffed a sigh of anger and tried kicking him in the stomach. His hands reached at my leg. Each of his fingers looked like a silver dagger. He quickly snatched my foot, flipped it over and pushed me away from him. I let out a little scream before getting back up and running at him. Maybe I couldn't beat him but I could fight him until I found a way to distract him. We fell into a dance of dodging fists and feet as well as maneuvering attacks.
I would dodge a foot from hitting my neck as I swung to hit his nose. I fell to my knees as he tried to kick at my head, sending his leg clear over me. As I stood up I tried to grab his head and throw him down but he was too strong for me. He grabbed my right hand and swept it over to the left and downwards, sending me to the floor.
"Enough." Father said just as I was standing up.
Greed's metallic body faded back to normal and he smirked at me.
"Cool. Huh?" His cocky smirk made me roll my eyes.
"Sure. I suppose so." I giggled."Envy, show Radiance to Nevaeh. I have simple matter to discuss with Greed." Envy began walking towards me with a smug smile on his face as Greed walked away.
"This isn't over Greedling." I murmured with a smug smile of my own.
"We'll see." He laughed.
Ignoring my comment to Greed Father looked to me and said, "Very impressive. I didn't expect you to be so skilled, Radiance."
"Thank you." I murmured, bowing my head slightly in respect.
"You may go." He said.
And with that Envy lead me down the hallway opposite of the one Greed and I had immerged from. This one was much darker.
"So what exactly is this under?" I asked Envy, remembering that we were underground.
"Military HQ." He said it matter-of-factly.
I gasped. "Really?"
"Yup. Did you notice that there's only six of us sins, excluding you and Nevaeh?"
"I didn't."
"Well there's one more. His name is Pride but you might know him as Fuhere Bradley." Envy murmured, looking over to me and raising his eye brows slightly. "You see we're natural born enemies to the military and we want philosophers stones. So being directly under them will give us a little hint to where one is every now and then."
"I see." I murmured. "I'm guessing I'm not dealing with the superheroes of some shitty comic am I?"
"Nope. We're just the opposite." Envy said with a small laugh.
Surprisingly, I liked it. I liked the idea of being a villain. Being a homunculus only made you a natural villain, making the situation just that much better.
When we got to the near end Envy stopped and looked at me. Just like before everything around me vanished. The dark dreary hallway was gone and Envy was in it's place. My head leaned closer to his and his eyes softened into a triumphant glair. Without knowing what was happening to me, I pressed my lips to his and closed my eyes. Envy placed his hands on my hips, deepening our kiss.
"Radiance?" I heard my sister call.
I backed away from Envy and walked to the end of the hall as if nothing had happened.
"It is you!" Nevaeh cheered as she raced towards me.
I enveloped her in a hug and all I could think was, what problem did I just cause.
