Maruken: I HAVE REVIEWS! Hello again! Yada yada yada and all that jazz. Time for another weekly installment of… Obscured Reality! At least it WILL be weekly if people start reviewing!
Disclaimer: I don't own FMA….. what a shame.
Sloth and Greed wandered around the 'school' searching for any feeling that might lead them to another like those two girls they left with the others. Suddenly Greed stopped and turned in a different direction. Sloth stared him for a moment.
"Come on Greed, let's keep searching." Still, Greed didn't move.
"Let's go." She ordered, but Greed didn't move an inch.
" I feel something, I'm gonna go after it." He informed then made a mad dash into the crowds. Sloth didn't feel anything and assumed Greed was lying, trying to get away from her and have a legit reason so he wouldn't get in trouble and he could go and flirt or do whatever it was he did.
"I'm going to report you for this!" She yelled after him, not caring if he heard.
However Greed DID hear her and was about to go back but she was gone in the crowds. He looked around for her but still saw no sign of her. He began to get worried, sealing might be becoming more of a possibility to control him. He shivered as he remember his imprisonment and silently vowed never to back again. He could only hoped that they wouldn't resort to such extremes. Shaking his head to rid it of such thoughts he centered his focus instead on the search. But this time he truly DID come upon the feeling, he decided to follow it and it lead him to a young girl with waist long blonde hair and blue eyes, clothed entirely in black. She was alone so he figured this was a good a time as any.
"Hey, could you come with me for a second?" He asked, winking at her. She raised her lip in response, showing her canine tooth, a very primal gesture. He raised an eyebrow.
"Okay then, what's your name?" Now it was her turn to raise an eyebrow.
"Who wants to know?" She asked in a fairly deep voice
"Come with me and you'll find out."
"Second thought, I don't care." And with that she walked away.
"Wait! I'll tell you my name right now if you stay." She turned around and raised her eyebrow again in a look of skeptiscism.
"It's Greed. What's yours?"
"Kara."
"What a nice name. Fitting of such a beauty." He tried again to flirt with her.
"If you pull that shit on me, I'm leaving." She warned, glaring at him in disdain.
"Okay, okay," He put up in hands in a gesture of surrender." But seriously I believe you have something very few people have. And it's something I'm looking for." He didn't mean for it to come out that cheesy, but it did.
Again, the look of skeptiscism."What is it that you're looking for."
"A symbol actually, it's supposed to appear on your eye, breast, hand, tongue, thigh, or foot. But it will only appear when under a certain, ceremony." Was she humoring him, or was she interested?
"Ceremony, riiiight. Okay, what's this ceremony?" Greed began to think she was slightly interested.
"Do you know alchemy?" He asked.
"No, do you?"
"No, but I know someone who does. We need to go there for the ceremony to take place."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"Yes you are." He chuckled under his breath and quickly knocked her out with a good punch to the head. He picked her up and ran back to the portable room, where he found Sloth waiting, with Wrath on her lap. She looked at him in amazement.
"You actually DID feel something."
"Yes," He smirked." I did, you should believe me next time. Because of me we found another." He added, rubbing it in.
"And because of me, we found four more."
Greed twitched.
"Anyways, now that your here we can go back." Wrath stated grabbing Kara from Greed's grasp, trying to remember the correct array.
Within minutes Wrath had crudely carved the same array into Kara as Envy had into Ryuu. As soon as Wrath began the alchemy the Gate appeared. Greed ran through the Gate with Kara slung over his shoulder, quickly followed by Sloth carrying a terrified Wrath.
"Took you long enough. What the hell did you do, flirt with the entire female population?" Envy sneered from his current spot on the wall.
"Hey, I brought back another, be grateful at least." Greed retorted with an air of annoyance.
"Envy grateful, that's a good one." Lust snorted.
"Just put her next to the others in that corner over there." Pride pointed to a corner with six bodies stacked upon each other haphazardously. Greed walked over and dumped Kara on top of the grotesque pile. Suddenly, she began to stir.
"Ungh, wha happm?" She mumbled trying to sit up only to fall further backwards because of the lumps she awoke upon. Kara turned her head down to look at what was keeping her from retaining her balance. The last thing she expecting to see were the bodies of her two friends, amongst a couple others. Gasping in horror, she immediantly rolled off them and took Audrea's mutilated head into her hands, caressing the pale clammy skin. Tears fell from her eyes, clouding her vision, falling onto the deceased body of her dear companion.
Slowly she lowered Aundrea and held Ryuu. More tears fell in a torrent of sorrow, her throat constricting, her breathing increasing to hyperventilation. She hiccupped several times and gathered their bodies into an affection embrace, burying her face into them, muffling the sobs that violently shook her body.
"You didn't KILL HER!" Envy shouted at Greed in surprise and anger.
"We wer'nt SUPPOSED to! Dante said locate, retrieve, THEN kill!" Greed shot back heatedly. Envy blinked then grinned sheepishly.
"Oh well, who cares?" Quickly changing the subject he brought up who the girl was.
"What's her name? Who is she?"
"Her name's Kara and I haven't found out yet."
"Lust! Carve the array and let's see who she is." Envy ordered. Lust reluctantly extended her nails and began to embed them into the floor. In a matter of minutes she finished, jumping back to admire her work.
Quietly Sloth snuck behind the weeping girl and wrapped her watery arms around her, pulling her away from the corpses.
"NO! Aundrea! Ryuu! LET ME GO! STOP! PUT ME DOWN! ANDREA! RYUUUUU!" Screeched the hysteric girl, desperately kicking and struggling to escape. However her struggles were in vain, Sloth held tight her grasp and set her down in the center of the array, before swiftly leaping away.
"The girl could only see her friends through the obscurity of a wall of bright blue light. She pounded on the wall with her fists and was thrown back, but she just got back up and tried again, and again. Finally the light died down and she ran to her friends, tripping over her own feet, her hands wildy trying to grasp anything to pull her back up again.
However, her hands did latch onto something and that something was covered in blood. She looked up straight into cold, cruel, eyes of violet, Envy smirked at her and raised a eyebrow. She immediantly retracted her hand and stared at the crimson coating it. Somewhere in the back of her mind she registered the possibility that the blood covering him was that of her friends, signaling him as their murderer, their butcherer.
All rational thought fled her mind and she lunged at him in an animalistic fury, blindly clawing and biting. He deftly evaded her and ripped of her shirt, but she was too enraged to care. He spied a flash of red just before getting assailed by the balistic girl in a barrage of teeth and nails.
"SLOTH!" He yelled jumping away quickly, missing most of the attack save a few scratches on his chest and neck. Nothing enough to actually draw blood. The water homunculi held the girl down and Envy walked up to her scowling, kicking her for spite. She tried furiously to bite him.
"Lust." He stated before crushing her skull with his fist. Kara didn't even have time to register the pain, to scream. He shook off the the blood and and picked off the chunks of pinkish muscle that used to function as her brain.
"Thick-headed." He remarked with a chuckle as he kicked her body into the same corner as her friends' lifeless husks, as well as the four others'.
"Now we can go and get the special ingrediants from Dante for the human transmutation." Lust said, then walked out to go find Dante, the others followed close behind.
