Sloth
"Sloth, what are you doing here?" asked Lust.
"I have come to ask you something." she replied.
"What?"
"Why did-" she started when the wall blew up and Ed and Al ran threw the hole. Scar was behind him. Al and Ed looked over to Lust and Sloth and were shocked.
"Ed, its mom." said Al.
"No it isn't." said Ed.
"Scar, stop." said Lust.
"But, why?" he asked.
"Those two are our trouble now." she replied. Scar walked over to Sloth and Lust.
"Who is she?" asked Scar.
"She is the homunculus that was born from our failed transmutation to bring our mother back." said Ed.
"Lust, Scar, go. I'll take care of these two for now." said Sloth as she stepped forward.
"But, I betrayed Dante, and you still protect me?" asked Lust.
"Lust, since my creation, you have been there for me. As foolish as it was to kill Dante, I have decided that I will still help you." said Sloth.
"Sloth..." said Lust.
"Go, Edward is my problem. I'll hold him off, but don't be sure he won't get to you." said Sloth in the saddest tone. Lust grabbed Scar and they ran off.
"Edward." said Sloth.
"Stop trying to act like my mother! You don't even have her memories!" said Ed.
"I do have some." she said.
"It can't be!" said Ed.
"But I do, I have memories. Memories of being your mother. Yet, your mother is dead. I...am not human. What am I? I...will kill you. That will prove that I am not your mother. If you don't die, I shall be tormented by these memories. Even though I am not your mother, if I was...I might love you. I should hate you, he who created me!" said Sloth and her arms turned to water and she swung one at Ed as he fell back. He got up quickly and ran back. She swung and swung but he ducked and jumped over them and one managed to make him trip. He spun around and made a wall of bricks, but a tentacle broke it. He made three more consecutively but each one was broken. Ed made his hand into a sword and ran at Sloth and jumped high in the air. He slashed down at her and made herself water, making the slash useless. She put herself together and swung at him and he blocked with his arm. She swung down, and he moved to the side. She extended one tentacle of liquid and pushed him back. He alchemized the ground to a spike, and impaled her. Sloth stood there, shocked. Then she smiled.
"I am not your mother. I won't take you in my arms." she said and then she made herself to water and slithered all over the spike and put pressure on it, destroying it. She made herself solid and looked at Ed. She swung at him with her water arm and he ducked. She jumped in the air and made herself into a blob and landed right on him. She only made her head solid and smiled, seeing Ed inside of her. He slashed and thrust but he couldn't get out, he was drowning. Al ran at her when Sloth made one tentacle reach out from the blob and throw Al aside. Ed somehow got out and Sloth was shocked to see that. She turned human and then ran after Ed. Ed ran off when suddenly, 6 water ropes held him back. He struggled around then slashed at the water ropes, breaking them apart. He ran off and attended to Al. "I'll kill you!" said Ed after helping Al and ran at her. He slashed sideways and she ducked and then she punched him in the gut. He fell back and he jumped in the air and slashed down. She moved aside as he tried to impale her. He did a cartwheel and pushed himself off with his hands and landed on her. She turned her chest to water and absorbed him inside of her again. Al ran up from behind her and-using the circle he carved into his hand-made her explode into tiny droplets. It started to rain and then Al went to his brother.
"Brother, are you okay?" asked Al.
"Yeah. Al, you saved me there." said Ed.
"You are my brother, why wouldn't I?"asked Al then the water around them started to come together. The looked in shock in front of them. There, a puddle was formed and then two arms came out and they each grabbed the ground. A head formed in the middle of the arms and the arms pushed out a human body and then the rest came out. There, again stood Sloth. "No matter what you do, I won't die." she said and her arms turned to water again. Al ran at her and she pushed him aside again. She swung at Ed who moved back. She swung again and he blocked with his mechanical arm. She swung again and he slashed it away and ran at her and managed to get her right in the chest. She made her chest to water and slipped out and then turned solid. She grabbed Ed by the throat and threw him into Al, shattering Al's front. Ed tried to fix him when Sloth made herself to water and wrapped herself around him, only her head in human form. He felt a force against his body, and it was hurting. He shrieked. "Brother!" yelled Al.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" yelled Ed and then his auto-mail started to go limp. Sloth pressed even harder against him when she heard him clap. He started to make her into water vapor. She yelled and then she started to go to mist. Her body became thinner and her water was weak. She then ended up as only fog. Ed ran to Al and clapped once more. He fixed Al and made sure he was all right. "Al, are you alright?"
"Yes brother. Is she gone?" asked Al.
"Yeah, she should be?" he said.
"Are you sure?" said Sloth's voice and all the fog around them came together. It swirled around towards one spot and the little drops of mist came together, forming a human body of water. Again, Sloth lived. Ed was shocked.
"I told you, no matter what happens, I won't die!" she yelled and she grabbed Ed and threw him. She send tentacles at him and he dodged them. She swung and swung and he just ducked and jumped and moved and rolled. Then one got him, right in the chest. He lost his breathe as he fell back. Sloth walked over to him when Al got in front of Sloth. "I won't let you hurt my brother!" said Al.
"Move." she said and knocked his head off. Grabbed him with her tentacles and then threw him aside and attacked Ed.
-Scar and Lust-
Once both of them got to a far away warehouse Lust pulled Scar in. They ran up the stairs into a room. She looked around the room to see if someone was there, but there wasn't no one. She then grew her nails out and drew the double circle of a transmutation circle. Inside the made some signs and shapes and afterwards, there was a never before seen alchemy array. "What is that?" asked Scar.
"A circle. Its to teleport." she said.
"But how will we use it? You cannot use alchemy? How do you even know of this?"
"Even though being the homunculus I am, I have learned plenty of knowledge on alchemy, I just can't use it. But you, you are human." she said.
"I will not! I will not go against Ishbala." he replied.
"But your arm, you already do." she said.
"This I must, but the rest...I will not!"
"Please, Scar, for me." she said and gave him the same look she gave Lujon to make him go on, except she meant it. He couldn't help it.
"Fine, I will." he said and they both stepped in the circle. "Where are we going?"
"I have an array like this somewhere else. We will end up there." said Lust. Scar nodded and clapped his hands.
-Sloth, Ed and Al-
Ed and Al ran inside an abandoned building and used alchemy to bound the door to the walls. Sloth jumped high in the air and turned to a blob and entered through a window. Ed and Al ran up the stairs and walked slowly across the floor, making sure to not make noise. Ed stepped in a small puddle and looked down. Quickly the water grabbed his foot and more puddles around hte room and from the ceiling grabbed him and threw him to a wall. The liquid cam together and formed Sloth. Al ran at her but she threw him aside and then the tips of her fingers turned to long thin whips and she whipped down with her left. Ed rolled to the side and got up, turned his hand to a sword and charged. He slashed down and then left but she turned to water, making them useless. She turned solid and her fingertips wrapped around Ed and threw him into Al. Both got up and charged at her. She slashed down and the floor ripped. She slashed up and she broke the ceiling and fell on top of Ed. Ed grabbed a board covered with nails and threw it at her. It got her right in the chest. She turned her chest to water and the board fell off. She ran at him and jumped. She did a flip and kicked down and he dodged. Al came from behind her and grabbed her. He threw her into a wall. She splashed everywhere and then it all bounced off the walls, ceiling and floor and turned to Sloth.
Her arm turned to water and grabbed Al, throwing him behind her. She turned to a blob and jumped at Ed. He clapped his hands and as soon as she touched him she was blown up and send to droplets. She turned to sharp pins and aimed for Al and they pierced him and pushed him back. The pins of water came together and she reformed. She turned a finger into water and took off his head. He yelled and pushed her into a charging Ed by accident. He fell back and she took advantage. She turned to water and surrounded herself around him and started to suffocate him. Al ran at then and one tentacle grew out and wrapped around him, carrying him in the air. Ed managed to roll out and free Al. Sloth came back and made her arms to water. She swung at Ed who ducked and jumped around the tentacles. She slashed down and the floor broke, Ed falling down. More concrete fell and wood and knocked Ed out cold. She turned around and looked at Al. "Well, well." she said.
"You won't get your ways!" he demanded.
"Why not, Alphonse?"
"Stop!"
"I must kill you, I told you!" she yelled and knocked his head off once more. He grabbed his head in mid air and put it back on. "If you don't let me in, I'll force myself in!" she yelled and turned to water and surrounded Al. She seeped in through the slits on his chest and through his eyes and throat. Ed then woke up to hear Al's blood curling screams. Ed rushed upstairs and saw Sloth seep her whole body inside him. "BROTHER!" yelled Al.
"AL!" yelled Ed and then AL stood frozen. He shook around violently and them his head flew off.
"Brother..." said Al.
"No!" yelled Ed as he ran towards the metal suit. Then the body blew up, shattering to pieces. Where Al once was, stood Sloth who had a giant smile on her face. "You killed him!" he said.
"Brother." said Al's voice. Ed looked up to Sloth who held one piece of metal that had the array on it.
"Give him to me!" demanded Ed.
"No." said Sloth and then her hand turned to water. The metal started to fall in side of her and Ed yelled. After completely being absorbed, she turned her hand solid. "You...you!" said Ed crying.
"Edward, he hasn't died yet. He remains alive, within me." she said and ran at Ed. She grabbed him b the throat. "You try to kill me, I'll use him as defense." she said as her eyes widened and an ear to ear smile grew on her face. Ed didn't fight. She then made her self to water and absorbed Ed, who still didn't fight. He saw inside her throat Al. He smiled and soon realized the array was gone. His brother was already dead. He slashed around and escaped. "He's dead!" he said.
"Wow, you realized." she said and then the metal plate flew out form her chest.
"You killed my brother! You heartless bitch!" he yelled.
"Edward, why do you say such words."
"I know your weakness." he said and ran out a window. She chased after him and jumped down. He grabbed his red coat which he dropped and grabbed a box. "What can that do?" she asked. He clapped his hands and touched the ground and an array to rid a homunculus of its extra lives appeared under Sloth.
"That alone won't work." said Sloth. Ed held up the box and threw it at her. She realized it held her weakness. The array brightened and she started to weaken. She fell to her knees and held herself up with her hands. Her insides turned and she threw up the red stones. She threw up and threw up. Then it was all gone. Ed walked over to her.
"One life left." he said.
"And you won't take it!" she yelled and turned to water and threw herself into the sea. She went away, knowing where Lust was. Ed fell to his knees and cried.
"Al." he cried. Tears fell to the floor and then he threw his head up. "AAAAALLLLLLL!" he shrieked and then stood up. "I'll get revenge for what happened." he said and ran down the street Lust and Scar had gone. After 15 minutes of walking, he saw a light coming from an old warehouse. He ran inside. He saw the array on the ground, and using what he knew about alchemy, he barely figured out what it was for. He got inside the circle. "I'm coming Lust." he yelled and clapped his hands.
