Chapter 9: Sewer Chase

Ed stopped and turned Wren's black cloak disappeared around the corner.

'Now where's she going, we are going to leave soon,' Ed rolled his eyes.

"Teacher, Wren is going some where I need to go catch u..."

WHACK!

"Don't call me teacher anymore! I'm not your teacher!" Izumi whacked Ed over the head.

"OW!" Ed rubbed his head and slowly went down the alley.

After about five minutes Ed was lost. He had taken two rights then a left then another right or was it a left... but either way Wren had gone. Atleast until there was a scream.

"Al..." Ed turned and ran down a small little alley.

He ran until he heard scuffling and then Wren yell, "You...".

Then another male voice spoke, "Let's hope you know what to help with,".

There was more scuffling sounds and then a hollow clang, "Make sure he's tied up I'll need him next," the male voice said again.

There were foot steps and a few more clangs and then silence. Ed arrived at a dead end alley, a doorway with a sign above it was the only thing in it besides some boxes and broken bottles. There were a few more seconds of silence when someone padded back to the doorway and stood guard.

"HEY YOU!" Ed yelled and then charged.

Wren retched on the ground after the last kick to her stomach. She hurt all over and she couldn't move her left organic thumb. She glared up at the figure that stood over her, Greed's fangs curved up in a evil grin behind his ultimate shield.

"Had enough?"

"Give me my SISTER," Wren growled and spit out a globule of blood.

"Wow you are a persistant little bugger aren't you?" Greed sighed and retracted his shield, "Roa go get 'er,".

The cow chimera nodded then disappeared out of the room.

"Now you stay there if you know what's good for your sister," Greed then turned to Al who was bound by his wrists and ankles.

Wren muttered curses as she heard Greed exclaiming over how Alphonse was actually hollow and ranting about his 'pet' chimeras and introducing them all.

That was when Greed said the one thing that Wren never expected.

"And that's far from the most amazing thing, I'm a homunculus," and flashed up his tattooed hand.

"What!" Al and Wren said at the same time, Wren had always thought that the tattoo was something that he had come up with.

But a homunculus? An artificial human? Wren had know something was different about Greed with his ultimate shield but she had always thought that he was experimented on like the chimeras.

"That's impossible!" Al gasped.

Wren straightened up and in a heartbeat Dolcetto was on her and tying her hands behind her back. As a thank you Wren elbowed him in the face.

"Yes, but that is beside the point, as my name dictates I'm Greed I want everything, money, power, women and espeacially eternal life," Greed said.

"And that's where you come in, so why don't 'cha tell me how to transmit my soul to armor and I'll let you go," Greed grinned.

"I wouldn't tell you even if I knew," Al finally said, "I have no memory of what happened, my brother is the one who did it,".

"Really?" Greed seemed intrigued and gave a crooked smirk.

'I never thought he would actually go this far, wanting immortality,' Wren thought and leaned against the wall, twisting her wrists against the ropes.

"WREN!" a yell echoed around the small room.

Her sister Artemis tried to rush forward but was held back by Roa's massive hand.

"Ah good, now while we're waiting for my other friends to find your brother..." Greed turned back to Wren.

"Now, you must know that this brother of his isn't going to take it well that we took his brother so as soon as he walks in that doorway you know what to do, or...well you know the deal," the homunculus cackled.

With that he untied Wren's wrists and handed back her katana.

Just then Bido came flying through the doorway and skidded to Greed's feet and standing there in the doorway was Edward.

"Niisan!" Al cried for joy.

Ed was ready to kill someone at that point. He had nearly strangled the little snitch getting information out of him and now he knew who his target was.

"Well right on que, not bad for such a small fry," Greed smirked and stood directly in front of Ed.

"!" Ed shouted back and took a wild swing.

His arm clattered against the blade of a sword. Wren blocked him and shuved him back, her face screwed up in shame.

"What are you doing! Wren the guy you want to kill is behind you!" Ed yelled.

Wren shook her head a tear rolling down her cheek, "No, I'm sorry Ed but this is for my sister,".

"Wren you don't have to do this," the small voice of her sister came from behind her.

Wren didn't respond and stepped towards Ed.

"I'm...sorry," she whispered and that's when all hell broke loose.

There was an explosion of gun fire and bits of concrete flew everywhere like bullets. The military had arrived. Greed panicked and ducked down another room followed by his chimeras. Ed rushed forward and cut Al's bonds.

At first relief flooded Wren, she wouldn't have to fight Ed and Greed had left her sister. Or so she thought, when she saw some man carrying Artemis out through the same door that Greed had gone.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" she charged past men in blue uniforms and ducked as more gun fire went overhead. She rushed through the hallway to where she saw the man go. Then Wren saw him standing there with Artemis slung over his shoulder kicking and screaming but her blows did nothing.

"Give...me...my...sister..." Wren hissed her face contorted into a look of pure rage.

The man cackled and then lept up and then fell into the open man hole at his feet. Wren charged over and climbed in as well into the dark bowels of the city.

At the same time Ed and Al had escaped the confusion that was now flowing into the hallway, they had just seen the top of Wren's head disappear into the ground.

"Al, stay here you wouldn't fit anyway," Ed called back as he slipped down into the sewer.

Al nodded not at all disappointed at what he was missing.

Ed dropped down and felt water running over his boots and the stench of rotting garbage. He was in the sewer. He then started trudging forward, careful on the slippery ground underfoot.

Up ahead you could just make out the splashing of footsteps, but it was to dark to see anything.

Wren in the meantime was rushing ahead, slipping and getting soaked from the grimey water but nothing mattered but getting her sister.

She could hear the distant cackle of mad laughter from whoever took her sister. But it was fading and Wren felt to tired, her ribs and stomach ached, her thumb still wasn't working properly and her eyes and nose burned from the rotting sewer air. Suddenly though the sewer opened up and dropped off.

Wren looked down and saw that twenty feet below grayish/brown water churned from the two massive waterfalls that were to the right, about fifty feet across was another pipe that opened up to this atrium. And there was Artemis's captor.

He was tall, around six feet or so had spikey green hair that fell to about his hips and he wore a tight fitting tanktop and an odd skort with sandals on his feet.

"Do you give up!" he shouted across the fifty feet that separated them.

With that Wren clapped her hands and made the concrete at her feet shoot out to the other side and charged across her weapon raised.

The man grinned and just as she was halfay across he smashed the connecting part of the bridge. At first a few feet of the bridge crumbled but then it slowly cracked and crumbled into hunks and along with Wren tumbled to the murky water.

Ed finally made it to the opening of the sewer and watched in horror as Wren went tumbling towards the water below and on the other side was the same guy from the number 5 labratory.

"Great two birds with one stone," he cackled and disappeared down the dark pipe.

Ed looked down at the water fifty feet below and jumped.
