Chapter 4: Off to find Fullmetal

Back at the sewers down below Gluttony returns to his master baring bad results on his task. "I didn't bring them father please forgive me the soldiers and the blond lady over powered me" said Gluttony begging for mercy. "It's alright my son apparently the military has improved since our passing" said Homunculus patting Gluttony's head. "Guess there's no point in doing this discreetly it's time I let the rest of my "children" make a return" he thought. Just then two more small creatures pop out of his chest both of which barring black dreadlocks.

Back at the headquarters the Eds are moseying in their cell. "This stinks" said Eddy kicking at the bars. Ed on the other hand just rolls around on the floor just giggling at himself. Eddy now fed up kicking at the bars turns to Double D. "Hey Sockhead any idea on how to get outta here or whatever's even going on?" asked Eddy. Double D pays no attention and looks through his books and research trying to organize it. "Great I try to reason with them and be nice and they wreck my stuff" he sighed. "cheer up Double D we always break your stuff" said Ed. "Thanks Ed" said Double D sarcastically. "Forget the home work sock head we gotta get outta here" said Eddy. Eddy grabs Double D's thermos from his backpack and starts banging on the bars to get the guard from outside's attention. "Hey you in the uniform can you get us some magazines or something we're bored in here!" he shouted. "Keep it down!" shouted the soldier. All three Eds sigh and continue moseying about.

At the garage The General, Armstrong, Hawkeye and their men gather together. "Alright listen up I want all of you to set up a perimeter in whatever districts those shards landed, no civilians should be around once clean up arrives and gets those things" Said General Armstrong. "Yes General ma'am!" shouted the soldiers saluting. All the soldiers each grab their gear and head into their cars driving off. "Hawkeye I have a special mission for you" said General Armstrong. "Yes General?" ask Hawkeye. "Gluttony will probably come here after the boys so I want you to take them as far away from here as your ca- "said the general. But then out of nowhere two large pudgy fist burst from under the floor. Everybody stopped and froze as the hands from beneath dig and pull revealing Gluttony and one other rising from the ground. This other one bears black dreadlocks, a red eye and is also a hunched over muscular giant. "G-Gluttony!" mumbled a soldier. "And Sloth kill them!" Shouted the General. Immediately all the soldiers start firing at them. Sloth grabs a car and slams most of the soldiers repeatedly against a wall until they were mangled while gluttony goes up and breaks each soldier in half. That's when General pulls out her sword and along with her brother charge at them head on while Hawkeye takes potshots from behind.

Back with the Eds they continue to mosey about in their cells until a guard appears before them. "You three come with me The General needs to talk with you" said the guard unlocking the cell. "Ah good maybe she's going to let us go" said Double D. "Finally" said Eddy stretching. "right this way follows me" said the guard. As they leave the cell room Ed notices a boot by the door. "Say someone dropped a boot" said Ed pointing directly at it. This caused the guard to stop tightening his fists slowly. "Forget the boot let's go Ed" said Eddy. The guard takes a breath of relief and continues to escort the Eds.

Back at the fight at hand It is now down to the General, Armstrong, Hawkeye, and two soldiers as they hold down the two Homunculi. "This seem a bit easy why haven't you capture the Eds in the first place?" said The General. "Who says we already have" said a smug Gluttony. General Armstrong realizing this rams her sword through Gluttony's head pinning him on the floor while the two soldiers shoot him down. The General then grabs a rifle on the floor and hops on top Sloth's back strangling him. "Major I need you to get the boys and take them far away from here they must not have them!" shouted General Armstrong. "But Olivia what about you and lieutenant I can't just leave you- "said Armstrong. "That's an Order Major!" She interrupted. Armstrong looks at her and Hawkeye worried, then nods an agreement. "Yes General!" he said. And immediately Armstrong turns away and runs to the halls.

Back with the Eds the guard leads them to the end of the halls by a telephone booth. "Stop" the guard shouted. "Stop? What gives?" complained Eddy. That's when the guard with a sinister grin pulls out a gun and fires at Eddy. But luckily with his outlandish yet cartoonic reflexes dodges the bullet. "The hell?" said the guard looking confused. He fires at all three of them this time and the Eds dodges every single shot in their own panicked cartoon fashion. "Damn" said the guard tossing the now empty gun, "Oh well since you're making things difficult guess I have to get my hands dirty". "Who are you?" asked Double D. The guard simply smirks at them as he slowly changes from a guard to a lean pale skinned looking young man in a two-piece body suit and black wispy dreadlocks. "The name is Envy and it- ". "Chameleon Man!" shouted Ed as he grabs the phone booth and traps Envy inside it by smashing through his head, "Run! Run like the wind!".

The Eds run through the hallway and end up bumping into Armstrong. "There you three are we got to get out of here" said Armstrong. "you think pal!?" shouted Eddy. "Hey you forgot this!" shouted Envy from behind as he tosses the mangled up phone booth at them. Armstrong steps in front of the Eds and knocks back the thrown debris with a single punch. Envy's arm quickly morphs into a large grotesque muscular green arm and grabs at the thrown booth smashing it on the ground. "Just who and what is this guy!?" shouted Eddy. "Envy, a homunculus like Gluttony" answered Armstrong. "Then why are we standing here? Let's go!" shouted Eddy. The Eds don't hesitate and run off leaving Armstrong and Envy in a large cloud of smoke. "Hey wait you're supposed to follow me!" shouted Armstrong coughing. Envy let's out a little chuckle and cough and runs after them as well.

Towards the end of another hall Armstrong catches up behind the Eds heading straight towards a room labeled: Private Garage. "Good keep going straight!" shouted Armstrong. Then from behind all of them Envy extends his arm into a long grotesque sharp looking tentacle and lashes at Armstrong's back. Armstrong falls on his knees shouting in pain. "Boy you sure have gotten weaker over the years" said Envy as he wraps his appendage around his neck. The Eds stop to see Armstrong in trouble. "Eddy wait!" shouted Double D. "Forget'em we gotta bail!" said Eddy turning away. Ed pushes Eddy and Double D aside and runs towards Armstrong and Envy. "Ed what're you doing!?" shouted Double D. "Get back here lumpy!" shouted Eddy. Ed runs up behind Armstrong and blocks him with both arms up. "A brave one as well as stupid same difference really" said Envy, "Now come with me and I- ". But Ed ignores him and using his teeth takes a huge bite on his tentacle. "Oh really you want to fight me? Well- "said Envy. But Ed with his teeth lifts envy up and slams him down on the ground then slams him repeatedly from one side of the wall to the next. Thus leaving Envy on the ground a mangled up broken body. "Hmm? Tastes like raw hot dogs" said Ed. "Thank you but he won't be down for long" said Armstrong slowly getting up. He and Ed quickly catch up with the others heading into the private garage.

Eddy goes and locks the door behind them. "You think that'll hold him Eddy!?" shouted Double D. Armstrong faces the door, puts his hands on the ground and miraculously creates a stone wall in front of the door. "This will" said Armstrong, "Everyone in the car". And so they did inside the Eds buckle up as Armstrong searches around the car. "Damn no keys!" he said. "Double D can you hot wire this jalopy?" asked Eddy. "I'll try" said Double D. Double D scoots beside Armstrong, rips open the ignition and fiddles with the wired with a multi tool he kept in his back pocket. As that's going on Ed looks through the back window and hears pounding coming from the sealed door, then suddenly the stone wall begins to crack. "Hurry guys!" said Ed. Double D finishes the last wire and puts the ignition back together. "Okay it should work now" said Double D. "Right" said Armstrong. Armstrong goes and shifts the gear and presses the pedal. At first nothing happened then the windshield wipers started moving. "Oh dear curse my lack of turn of the century automotive repair knowledge" said Double D. "Way to go Sock head at least we get to die knowing the windshield wipers work!" shouted Eddy. Envy finally breaks open the door and casually walks in growing slightly bigger, stronger, and green. "Now I'm pissed I'm going to rip you all into shreds!" Envy shouted. "We're too late!" shouted Double D. "I won't gah!... let him get you!" said Armstrong slightly moving. Double D and Eddy look at Armstrong's back Bleeding. "You are in no condition to fight" said Double D. "Then what are we gotta do!?" shouted Eddy. Immediately afterwards Ed desperately gets out of the car and crawls under it. "Ed get back here!" shouted Double D. "What is he doing!?" asked Armstrong. Under the car Ed lifts the it over his head and runs through the garage door. "Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo! Thatta boy Ed!" Eddy Cheered. He, Double D, and a surprised Armstrong hang on tight as Ed holding an entire car runs across the street. "Ha ha ha Beep! Beep! Coming through" said Ed running oncoming cars.

Eddy and Double D climb onto the backseat and see Envy chasing after them. "He's still gaining on us" said Eddy. "If we get to the train station we'll be safe" said Armstrong. "Where is it exactly?" asked Double D. "Keep going straight… head left there's a tunnel, go through it and we'll see it" said Armstrong adjusting his seat position. "I'll try to patch him up Eddy you give Ed the directions" said Double D finding some small towels under the seat. "You hear all that Pony Express!?" Eddy shouted out the window. "You got Eddy! Vroom! Vroom! Beep! Beep!" Shouted Ed as he makes a left turn down a street. Ed Runs them through the tunnel with Envy still following inside. "Alright I'm done running!" shouted Envy. Envy reaches out extending his arm into a large green one and grabs on the bumper. Ed quickly grabs on the front bumper as Envy pulls away the car from him. "Hey that's mine!" shouted Ed pulling the car. "Let go you big stupid…" shouted Envy pulling back. This ends up being an all-out tug of war in the middle of the tunnel as Ed and Envy keep pulling on the car all around the tunnel as they jump over and avoid oncoming cars. Inside the car Armstrong and the other Eds hang on to their dear lives. "Oh dear this too much!" said Double D. Just then a large truck comes honking its horn. This gives Ed an idea. Ed with all his might pulls Envy to the other side of the road. "Give it up already!" Envy shouted. But just at the nick of time the truck hits Envy and drives away with Envy's body flat against its grille. "Thanks Ed that was… convenient" said Double D sitting back right up in his seat. "Let's get outta here already" said Eddy. With that Ed lifting the car back above his head runs out the tunnel. Meanwhile throughout the whole ordeal Armstrong sits there in his spot staring blankly wide eyed and confused. "Wha… such strength… ah… what are you people!?" mumbled Armstrong.
