Chapter 14
OHGATEIUPDATEDAWEEKLATEI'MSOSORRY!
Envy: You let a Plot bunny manifest itself into a story again, didn't you?
Maybe. *Hides new fic and new Pokémon game behind back*
Charge: Traitor.
And I threw in a few Brotherhood elements. Please don't kill me, even if you previously did for the slow update.
~3rd Geno POV~
Andro glared at the scenery. He could've sworn that a minute ago, he was in the massive, spiraling tower. But now he was chest-deep in puffy white snow. And to cap it all off, he was feeling dizzy. The weird figure said something about "taking his lifeblood," whatever that meant.
At least he could see a light up ahead, even though it was faint. Light meant fire, which meant civilization. Which usually meant warmth, which he currently desired. He just had to keep going, covering the hundred or so yards to the light.
*insert page break*
Oliver glanced at the sentry, who reported a cat. Of all the tales, a cat! A cat outside, to add to her disbelief. No cat could end up next to the Briggs base from Central without freezing to death. However, when she walked down to the entrance, she was greeted by an unconscious ebony-furred cat just a few yards from the base.
"What will we do with it, Major?"
"We have been having a mouse problem recently," she muttered, unsure. The cat was badly injured, and there was a blood trail leading a fairly long distance from the base.
"The cat's obviously a survivor, and it'll help the mouse problems. Let it in."
~Line break~
Marrow sighed, rather annoyed at how the day had gone. First he'd found out that travel to other dimensions was possible, therefore proving 10% of his conspiracy theories, but that to travel to other dimensions you had to pay a price.
Which had been that he'd be turned into some random combination of a cat and a human. He still had his feline ears and tail, and his body was covered in inch-thick fur, but at least his blades were unharmed, though they were about an inch larger. He figured it had to do with his size ratio.
But what really irked him was that some weird religious group knocked him out and had him captive. From what he could tell, he'd been tied up (with rope, and they made sure not to tie it near his blades) for an hour or two, since his hands were fairly numb. From what he could tell, he was in someone's bedroom, with the former occupant being female, since the walls were painted a rather sickly shade of pink, matching the bed (which he was currently on) and furniture.
At least they put pants on him. He disliked the rather scratchy fabric, but he knew that if he went out in public, the first thing they'd notice (besides the cat ears, tail, fur, etc) was nudity.
"What should we do with it?" Marrow's ears perked as he heard some faint chatter through the fairly thin walls.
"It's a demon. It should be purged."
"How do you know that it's a demon?"
"Its sinful blades."
~A wild LINE BREAK appeared!~
Dietlinde smiled as her view of the tower was abruptly replaced by what she could only describe as an underground complex. It was just…massive. She couldn't see the sky, but she could see a massive pile of boards and glass randomly strewn about the massive area. She figured that it used to be an underground town.
If it was underground, then it might have secrets. She smirked, nudging one of the large boards strewn across the floor. Most boards were demolished, showing only splintery remains of what they used to be, but a few were relatively intact.
According to her research, it would only take a second or two to demolish the place if she activated the circles she tattooed onto her palms, which she quickly activated. She wanted to see how strong this science of theirs was.
Several cannons materialized out of the floor, shooting lethal cannonballs at the wood, which was swiftly obscured in dust and smoke. Once it cleared, only the round, black instrument of destruction remained. She smirked again, transmuting about five more cannons, which proceeded to blast anything within their radius to smithereens.
Minutes later, all that remained was several massive piles of splintery boards, barely recognizable as what they previously were. However, at the edge of the splinter mountain was something silvery. Eckhart warily approached it, and noticed in her amazement that it was a safe, albeit one whose door was practically falling off its hinges. Upon closer inspection, it contained a diary and a small canvas cinch sack about the size of a closed fist.
Notes
Eckhart glanced at the book's title. It was fairly self-explanatory, but if someone had gone to such lengths to hide it…
Homunculus-Immortal human, obtained via human transmutation. To create one, you must force the failed transmutation to have physical contact with a Philosopher's Stone. Usually an incomplete Stone is used due to the fact that a complete one is currently nonexistent.
Eckhart mused over the writings, amused. Perhaps she could use these "immortal humans" to dominate this world.
Homunculi have few weaknesses, though Homunculi have a tendency to lose a large extent of their abilities whenever they are exploited.
-remains of the human attempted to revive
-stabbing through nodes and Ouroboros
There can only be seven Homunculi, each with an Ouroboros in a specific place.
Pride-left eye
Lust-area above cleavage
Greed-left hand
Envy- left thigh
Gluttony-tongue
Sloth-above left breast
Wrath-sole of right foot
Even if the previous Homunculus dies, the next one created in its place will have its Ouroboros in the same area, but the powers will most likely vary (i.e- if Wrath's hypothetical power is fire control, it dies, and another human transmutation occurs and the corresponding Sin is Wrath, its Ouroboros will be on its foot, but its powers will most likely vary from the previous Wrath's)
However, there can only be seven Homunculi alive at any given time. If a Human Transmutation occurs when all seven Sins are presently alive and is given a Stone, it will not become a Homunculus.
All Homunculi have an additional power besides immortality, usually something useful in battle.
On the back of the page was a diagram showing an intricate circle and some random elements.
Water, 35 liters
Carbon, 20 kilograms
Ammonia, 4 liters
Lime, 1.5 kilograms
Phosphorus, 800 grams
Salt, 250 grams
Saltpeter, 100 grams
Sulfur, 80 grams
Fluorine, 7.5 grams
Iron, 5 grams
Silicon, 3 grams
As well as a Philosopher's Stone.
Eckhart's eyes widened slightly. The limitation of seven immortals wasn't very hindering, but you needed something called a Philosopher's Stone to create one, which was an issue, since she had no information to go by. She sighed, but her attention was quickly demanded by the canvas sack. She opened it, and several crimson stones spilled out the top.
Philosopher's Stones.
I believe that makes two Brotherhood elements I added, though there will defiantly be more Manga elements later.
Grell: Let me paint you with pretty, pretty red!
Envy: …Grell's not in FMA. What's he doing here?
Because he's my favorite Kuroshitsuji character. He's more gender confused then you, so be happy.
Envy: ?
He constantly refers to himself as an actress and stuff like that.
