Dark As promised there is a surprise in this chapter for you, thanks to those of you who reviewed and told me how good you thought it was, I hope I can keep up the standards lol
'What happened at the end of the last chapter'
Ed sat on the bed watching the window angrily while muttering under his breath about 'damn palm trees' and 'giving orders for no real reason' and 'it wasn't as if he was going to leave anyway' and the such, he got so riled up that he didn't even notice the door opening and three figures entering silently, the only thing to alert him was a small very high pitched sound sent by one of the bats to find their way before he suddenly found himself mesmerised by the swirling depths of Sinistra's crimson gaze
He stared into them for a couple more seconds before he suddenly went limp, Sinistra smirked as she wrapped him up with her sinewy snake body and let the two bats carry them out of the room and away to the rendevous point with the Horde.
Blinky and Screech carried Sinistra and Ed low through the city between the buildings and in the shadows, they travelled in the opposite direction to Envy heading west to the sewer factory, over the town of the slowly waking New Ishbal, whenever someone seemed to spot them they were distracted by three screeching forms diving at them from behind, when they pulled back they revealed the three vultures, Havoc, Mercy and Reek.
Sinistra kept her eyes on Ed, not knowing how long her hypnosis would work on him, never having used it before, whenever Ed twitched or murmered something sleepily she tightened her hold and locked her eyes on his closed ones, but he never woke up just continued to move and murmer in his sleep, occasionally calling out Envy's name.
After about ten minutes of weaving in and out of the buildings they finally reached the sewer entrance, but not without a scratch, Blinky and Screech having hit some buildings along the way, causing scratches and such, they had even dropped Sinistra and Ed on a passing dog by accident, causing it to yelp in fear before being set upon by the three vultures.
When they did finally reach the sewer entrance, albeit scratched but intact, they found the ratigators waiting for them, squeeking nervously, the intelligent one stepped forward quickly.
"Good, on time you are, fast, target give to us and we go, time out running we are! Bird brains say fang boys gone crazy, time out running, faster," he said quickly before Sinistra interrupted.
"I'll have to come too, jusssst to make ssssure the target doessssn't wake and hurt your Horde, I'm not ssssure how long the hypnossssissss will work," she said smoothly, frowning in disgust at the Horde leaders lack of vocabulary, the ratigator frowned before nodding reluctantly and motioning to the Horde.
With a shrill squeek they swarmed around Sinistra and Ed before picking them up and making their way into the sewer, the two bats flying off to the shadows for some sleep.
The Horde moved quickly, running down passages in a matter of seconds, only pausing if they heard something then quickly moving on again, suddenly as they rounded a corner they had to stop as they noticed all the rubble in the tunnel, looking up they saw a large hole and four figures fighting over the top of it.
As they all stared at the hole Sinistra failed to notice Ed beginning to wake slightly, he blearily opened his eyes and got a perfect view of a snarling Envy lunging for the three wolf chimeara's above him, he gasped alerting Sinistra to his conciousness.
Above them Envy seemed to pause and sniff the air before he started to look around only to be stopped by Rogue lunging at him with a snarl, Druid poked her head into the hole and growled at them.
"Put him back to sleep and hurry up, now," she hissed before joining back into the fight sending Envy further away from the hole, Sinistra caught Ed's amber eyes with her own crimson ones again and he fell back into a dreamless sleep but not before she got a large whiff of the pheremones his body had released at the sight of his mate, because he was in heat for the next week he would do this everytime he saw his chosen mate after a time apart to attempt to renew their bond.
Sinistra managed to put him back to sleep but was slowly being overwhelmed by his scent, resting her head on his chest she breathed in more of it before seeming to make a sound between a purr and a hiss, this all happened while the Horde started back down the tunnel faster towards the eastern exit and Swift, none of them having gotten a whiff of Ed.
Meanwhile Leo had stayed behind after Sinistra and the two bats had taken Ed, looking around he decided it best to sit on the bed to wait for Envy to return, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath in he once again morphed into Ed's form before opening his eyes with a smile.
"Well Envy, lets see how well you are at telling the real Ed from the fake," he smiled before laying backwards onto the bed, he breathed in deeply and his eyes widened in surprise.
"What the hell! Ed's in heat?" he gasped, sitting up in surprise, leaning down he sniffed the bed more thoroughly and managed to deduce that Ed had already been claimed that night since the scent was still fresh, but Leo failed to realise his slight arousal at the hint of strong pheremones left by Ed it wasn't until he sat back on the bed did he realise his predicament.
It quickly escalated to a full on erection and he soon became uncomfortable in his clothes, so he quickly stripped them off, throwing them into a dark corner and layed back on the bed.
Reaching down with his hand he gently stroked it over his chest, closing his eyes with a small moan as they brushed over a nipple, not wanting to prolong it he moved his hand quickly to his erection and began to pump himself quickly.
The Horde turned right at the next crossroad of tunnels and found themselves stood outside the eastern wall in front of a large bundle of feathers, Sinistra lifted her head and blinked in the sudden light.
"Sssswift? Issss that you?" she asked, the bundle unfurled to reveal a swollen version of Swift's face, her features swollen and raw red as if newly healed, she nodded before raising herself to her full height, the Horde squeeked in fright and scampered away from Ed and Sinistra as Swift approached them, she gently took the two up in her front claws.
Using her back claws she sprang into the air and quickly sped off into the rising sun, away from New Ishbal and Envy, Ed whimpered in his sleep briefly before quieting as they got further away.
The fight between Envy, Druid, Rogue and Light had quickly escallated into a frenzy in Light's rage at Envy, who quickly realised that he was slightly out-matched against them.
After flipping over the hole made by him throwing Druid at the ground, they all paused, Envy on the far side of the hole with the three chimeara's on the other, all panting slightly from exertion.
Light had a long gash down the left side of his face, Rogue was limping slightly and Druid was wavering on the spot, her ears drooping from exhaustion, Envy himself hadn't escaped unscathed either, he had several cuts and bruises over his body and was leaning to one side, he sighed in resignation.
"I never thought I'd have to use this again, but you give me no choice," he panted.
Light and Rogue stared at him with a frown while Druid shook her head slightly to bring it back into focus.
"Wot 'xactlee ar' 'ou on 'bout?" she said dizzily and with a slight slur.
Envy grinned and clapped his hands together in a simialr manner to Ed, and slowly moved to a kneeling position.
"I haven't used this power in about three hundred years, so I might be a little bit rusty," he said in mock apology before slamming his hands into the ground, there was a brief blue explosion before three green sparks rushed towards the three chimeara, exploding from the ground in the form of bars as identical cages appeared over all three of them.
"Alchemy? But your an homunculi, you can't use alchemy by yourself," Light shouted incredulously, wrapping his clawed hands around the bars and testing their strength.
Envy smirked, "When your the son of Hohenheim and Dante, two very powerful alchemists in their own right, you have this nack for the skill, even though I'm an homunculi. You see Hohenheim wanted to surprise my mother Dante so messed about, but then he fell in love with someone else so Dante never found out," he smirked before he stood and stared at them for a few seconds more then turning and leaving.
Just as he turned the corner of the alley, a large vulture with crossed eyes landed on top of Druids cage, "DAVE!! Stop fighting, stop fighting!! Rargh!! Dave!!" he scrawked, Druid growled and using what remained of her strangth lunged at him through the bars, causing them to snap under their combined pressure.
Rogue in a claustrophobia induced craze lunged at the bars facing Lights cage and crashed through them both easily before he sat panting from over exertion, Light slowly stepped out of the remnants of his cage and glared at where Envy had left, with a small growl he turned on his back heels on walked away from the alley, Rogue following obediantly at his heels.
They had turned the corner before realising Druid wasn't with them so they ran back only to find her sprawled on the floor in a pool of her own blood, Dave stood over her, waiting for her to die so he could eat her, Light growled and lunged at the vulture who quickly flew off with a squwark of fright.
Light moved closer to Druids gasping form and knelt by her side sadly, reaching forward he gently moved a lock of her deep brown hair from her face, to which she responded by blinking sleepily and trying to focus on Lights face.
"I don't think I can make it, go on without me," she whispered, Light snorted in disbelief before gently lifting her onto his back and standing
"We've already lost one member of Alpha, we're not loosing another, hang on Druid," he said calmly before he and Rogue ran back in the direction of the mines.
Envy quickly got back to his house and jumped in through the window only to see Ed laying back on the bed, writhing and gasping in pleasure as he jerked himself off, Envy stood staring wide-eyed at the scene before him in amazement before he suddenly grinned devilishly and moved towards the bed with intent.
When he reached the side of the bed he slowly moved over the figure of Ed, who seemed oblivious to his prescense, and effectively removed Ed's hand and replaced it with his own, causing Ed to give a loud moan of pleasure and buck his hips beneath him.
"Tch, tch Ed, why didn't you wait for me," he said in mock anger, Ed just moaned and mewled underneath him as he increased his speed, Leo (Ed if your confused) only just manged to remember that it was Envy he was with as he moaned his name out loud.
"Envy!" he yelled as he came in the homunculi's hand, laying back panting he smiled as Envy moved to lay beside him, now naked as well.
Envy turned to lay on his side and pulled Ed up against his chest before slowly falling asleep, Ed grinned gleefully at the success of the switch before also succumbing to sleep.
It was a haggered and thoroughly battered group that returned to the mines later that morning, the leader stood there waiting for them with a small girl, she had long brown hair and piercing violet eyes with what appeared to be a tattoo of a red snake eating itself around a wierd triangle shape on the back of her left hand.
Ignoring her they concentrated on their leader who was smiling at them all weirdly.
Team Aplha had just reached the edge of the cave when their screams reached them, eyes widening in panic Rogue ran down an abandoned side tunnel with Druid on his back, he was quickly followed by Light who limped behind a rock near the entrance and waited.
Sure enough a couple of seconds later their leader and the strange woman slowly walked past, talking to each other.
"So, your chimeara's have done their purpose, are you sure that was all of them?" the woman said in an authorotive tone.
"Of course Greed my dear, the Alpha team was sent to distract Envy, they should be dead by now as their other member Dark was, and Sinistra is with Swift, who will die on arrival and Leo is doing his job, just as you planned my dear," the leader hummed happily before they rounded a corner and left Light's earshot.
Light waited a couple of more seconds before moving further down into the tunnel to where Rogue and Druid were.
"We my friends are royally fucked, the leader has betrayed us and killed the others, he thinks we're dead already so won't be looking for us, do you think you can hang on until nightfall Druid?" Light said quietly
Druid nodded slowly before leaning further against Rogue, "I just want to sleep, but I know I shouldn't," she whispered. "Can you tell me a story Light, like you and Dark used to when we were little?"
Light smiled, "Of course sis, anything for you. Once upon a time in a sandy kingdom a young princess lay in a cave, wounded by a beast . . ."
Meanwhile Swift had managed to fly across the deserts of Ishbal and was flying in the path of the sun to keep out of sight of the waking habitants of the ground below as she flew over Resembool and headed towards Central.
Sinistra having worn her hypnotic abilities out on putting Ed back to sleep three more times during the flight had removed her arms and torn the edge of his shirt lustily before managing to calm herself before gagging and blindfolding Ed, now he lay in their arms growling angrily at them through the cloth in his mouth.
"Itssss usssslessss trying to talk with that thing in your mouth Fox, you may assss well give up, we're nearly there," Sinistra hissed by his ear as she cuddled further into his shoulder from her position, looking past his fluttering hair she saw the city of Central approaching fast on the horizon, with a sigh she saw where they were to land on the outskirts by a large abandoned mansion.
Swift tilted her giant wings to the side as she prepared to land but as she lowered herself to where her front claws were only about ten feet from the floor she suddenly tipped forward face first into the fastly moving sand below, her neck snapped on impact as she rolled the rest of the way, stopping directly at the feet of a tall woman with long brown hair, Sloth.
"Excellent, you're right on time Sinistra, now if you'll release my son I'll take him from you and my friend Gluttony here will escort you to your room," she said with a smile, a large man moving up beside her with a grin and a flash of gingery hair on his large head.
Sinistra released Ed reluctantly and watched as he automatically rolled away from her and tried to get up, only to be stopped by Sloth's long watery arms surrounding him.
"She's all yours Gluttony, make sure not to spill anything," she smiled sweetly before turning and walking away, Gluttony grinned and giggled gleefully before pouncing on Sinistra and biting into her arm, making her give off a deafening scream, which was quickly silenced by Gluttony taking a bite through her neck.
As Gluttony ate Sinistra, Sloth made her way to the mansion in front of her, while talking to Ed.
"There's some people here who really want to see you, I think you'll be happy to see them as well, Edward," Ed just struggled harder in her arms and let out a small whimper as she carried him further into the house and away from freedom, he let out a louder whimper of pain as his heart seemed to try and reach out to his mate but was having a hard time reaching him, tears formed at his eyes as he struggled uselessly and the mansion got closer with each step Sloth took.
