Chapter 7- Sin Play

'Dammit… Dammit to hell…'

Envy slammed his fist on the wall, muttering all the curses he knows. He crumpled and tore all the pictures he received. They were actually stolen pictures of Hughes and his daughter.

'Fuck it… Dante's gonna kill me…' Envy sighed as he sat by his 'chair'. He rested on above a trashcan lid, thinking on what now. He felt extremely humiliated. Not only did he reveal his secret to that pipsqueak and his full metal brother, but he also showed hints of weakness to his very own (dare he say it?) stepbrothers. (Author's note: Spoiler alert here.). Something he never wanted to reveal.

Envy laughed as we strode off, deeper into the alleys of Lior.

'Maybe Lust and I should really stop." Envy pondered.

Envy continued his pondering over Lust and his relationship's stability until he sensed something. He swiftly gave a high jump and moved out of the way. Envy landed with cat like grace, pouncing on the walls and to solid ground again. He looked back.

Nothing and No one was there but himself and…

"Few screws loose, huh?" a voice echoed. The homunculus, Obsession, appeared, leaning against the wall, and glaring at Envy with malice. His cold lavender orbs rolled to Envy's own. Envy stared at him, knowing that he could be in danger. Obsession was not the type to care, that he knew. His fingers, which was already in snap position, was a sign.

"Well, what d'ya know? The faggot who talks in his sleep." Envy grinned. Lightning struck, Envy was lucky he managed to dodge it again.

"I know you were revealing secrets to Mustang's dog." Obsession sniffed by the mention of 'his' name.

"So, what the hell do you want?" Envy questioned, his eyes narrowed. Obsession gave a smirk. Things were certainly going his way.

"You and me, in a duel. Obsession declared. Envy was surprised. He usually duels with Greed but seriously… what's this dude up to? Envy ignored his own cautions and gave a smirk.

"Yeah, whatever. But why the sudden challenge?" he asked.

"It would be amusing to see you fall to me. Military dogs are already boring." The Sin taunted. Envy gave a small frown. This jackass is going down… and the battle began.

Envy charged up, prancing high and landing a series of kicks. Obsession managed to dodge and black the heavy kicks with pain. He gritted his teeth. Envy was really tough at this. Envy stopped threshing kicks and began with punches. He gave a punch to Obsession to the stomach and was slammed to the wall. Obsession just lay there by the wall, surprisingly still. Envy stood by his opponent with some pride.

"Who's falling now?" Envy taunted. Obsession gave a hidden smirk. He was still on the ground.

"You." he replied. Envy was surprised by his response but was too late. Obsession gave a snap to his fingers and lightning flew towards Envy. Envy was then tackled and pushed to the ground this time, clutching the numbness in his ankle area. He can't kick with his left now.

"Oh, beaten already? You can only useone leg properly now." Obsession said provokingly. Envy grinned. It wasn't over yet.

"Kiss my ass." Envy said as he shape shifted. The sin stepped back in slight hesitation. Envy turned into a huge black dragon. Scales as hard as the hardest steel and great wings to help it fly. It snorted out flames from it snout, looking at the lightning homunculus with it's fierce lavender eyes.

Obsession frowned, eyes narrowing at the sight of flames dancing around the dragon. 'Fire…' the word came in as he looked at the pieces of ember crackling through a pile of trash.

Envy charged roaring with might as a dragon would. He drove the lightning homunculus to building walls and corners. Obsession was barely managed to dodge each tackle. Building bricks and steel crumbled from the monster dragon. But as much as he may be in danger, Obsession still carried his smirk. He loved fighting stronger opponents. The stronger they are, the harder they would fall, they say.

Envy used a few more resolves as he began breathing out burning flames. Obsession dodged. The small stream of fire caused and inflicted a slight burn to his very skin. The sin let out a cry of pain. The fire… it was… immense… just like how he did it...

Obsession let that feeling out as he let go of that feeling. He was not going to be defeated, Never. The Sin began analyzing the situation. He needs to think of some tactic. He looked around. In every transformation, there has to be a weak spot for them to transfer back. And he saw it. In the very bottom, his belly, which was the only part of the dragon that seemed to be sensitive to his lightning. It wasn't concealed in scales.

Envy charged again. This time, fire was spread across the entire area. There was no way the other sin could win. But he was confused and puzzled on what he was witnessing. Obsession made a jump for the air and seemed to be diving down to his under part. Envy was trying to get close to him. To hell with Dante and the others, they were better off without the eight sin. Suddenly, he knew something was wrong. Obsession smirked and snapped. Lightning bolts struck the dragon in the belly and Envy gave a cry in pain. He then reverted back to his true form, clutching his belly in so much pain.

"How the hell did he fucking do that?" Envy groaned. He clutched his stomach the pain of electricity was immense. He only heard of the eight sin's power. But he never felt it until now.

"I was hoping you'd put up more of a fight. I'm disappointed. It was no wonder you couldn't beat Edward Elric." Obsession grinned. Envy's teeth gritted. He? A weakling? This asshole was definitely going to get it. He wasn't done yet.

"Well, since I can't seem to battle weaklings… I guess I'm leaving…" the sin walked off, giving what looked like a bored expression. Envy watched Obsession leave, his eyes rolled directly at Obsession's direction. This was his chance…

A snap was heard. Obsession turned, surprised. What the-

Flames that were surrounding combined and consumed Obsession. He was crouched on the ground, screaming and shrieking in pain. Envy stood before the burning inferno, in a transformed Roy form. He used his power, combined with the gloves he had.

Obsession glanced at Roy (Envy), who was watching him burn to ashes, probably. He glared with pure spite and hatred at the figure.

'Mustang…'

Envy copied Roy's smirk. Obsession saw it. The same smirk he truly hated. An image and a flashback came to him.


A snap of fingers was heard. The shadow of man consumed in ember was shrieking from the immense white, hot pain as the fire continued blazing through the scene. An arm, which was turning slowly into ashes was separated and fell to the ground, skin turning to ash as a bone remained. The man collapsed.
Envy smiled. He snapped, letting the fire disappear once he saw Obsession fall to the ground. He transformed to Envy ( no, that wasn't a typo… I really meant he transformed to himself… XD) and walked off. That was it. He won.

"Heh, that wasn't so hard." He said as he shrugged and strode off to the nearest turn. But he stopped when he heard some shuffling and shoving. Envy turned and glanced around the area. Nothing.

"Damn it… now he screwed my mind." Envy thought. "What's next? I moan for Lust in my sleep?" Envy laughed. He turned back to make sure unfortunately, a heavy punch flew across his face.


"Lust! Lust! Come on! Can I eat? Pleeeeeeeease?" Gluttony begged for food as he bounced around Envy. Lust groaned. Honestly, instead of her with the Philosopher's stone, she had to be with drooling famished glutton.

"Alright! Alright! But don't make a mess!" Lust waved. Gluttony was already on the trail once a certain smell lingered in the air. Lust could smell it too. It was the scent of blood. And when there's blood, there's a corpse. And when there's a corpse, there's Gluttony who will devour his meal.

She walked off, wondering. She hasn't seen Envy since this morning. Where was he? Lust needed the palm tree homunculus with her. No one knew this, not even Gluttony, but she loved the palm tree. They were always together. Ever since the first time they met, they were always there for each other.

"Lust! Lust!" Gluttony's voice screamed. Lust groaned again. Her thoughts were interrupted again. It was annoying sometimes. She headed for Gluttony. Another reason why she needed the palm tree was that she needed someone to help her watch over Gluttony.

Lust stopped when she saw Gluttony on his knees beside a corpse. Lust was surprised. Gluttony wasn't eating it at all.

"Lose your appetite?" she said sarcastically as she walked even closer.

"Lust, it's Envy!" Gluttony pointed. Lust was shocked and ran for her Envy. She collapsed right in front of his body, almost pushing Gluttony out of the way.

"Envy!" Lust screamed, pulling him close. Envy's condition is terrible. Bruised and battered, with blood mixed with dirt. Envy was a complete mess. Lust sighed in relief. If Envy wasn't a homunculus unlike he was now he'd be dead by now.

"Envy? Who did this to you?" Lust questioned. Envy gasped for air as his eyes fluttered, gaining the last of his consciousness he had left.

"O-Obse-Obsession…" he murmured until he blacked out. Lust screamed.


AN: You're probably wondering why I made this chapter EnvyxLust... don't ask... couldn't think of anything. I was wondering whether Envy and Lust could make good pair. If any of you disagrees... I can make Lust dump Envy for Greed later... XD But poor Envy... I like him too even if he is a cold blooded, sadistic, perverted murderer who killed a lot of characters I really like... HUGHES! NOOOOOOOO!
