Jumping over the rocks in her way, Riza made it back to lab five. "Wow, just in time to meet the others." said Greed as she walked in.

"The others?" Riza asked. "Well yeah, there's not just you, me, and Lust...that'd be pathetic!" Greed said. Hawkeye flinched. "Yeah I guess it would make more sence to have more than three..." she said. Just then, it seemed as though there was an earthquake. "DAMN! What was that!" Riza asked. "That...was Gluttony." Greed said. "He's walking" Hawkeye made a discusted face. "Glutto---HOLY CRAP!" she shouted. Something had grabbed her arm. Or rather...someone. Riza didn't move, but heard a small voice from behind her. "...Can I eat her?".

"No, Gluttony...you can't eat her..." Greed answered. Gluttony wimpered, and sat down next to Greed. "Dumbass..." said another voice. Riza looked around. "God, you're dumb...you can't even tell where I am?" asked the voice. Hawkeye clenched her fists. "Alright, weakling..." the voice said. Before her, stood our very own Envy. Hawkeye gasped. "You...killed..."

"Hughes? Yeah, he knew too much for his own good, I just had to shut him up..." Envy said unconcerned. "Anyway, what's so great about you?" he asked. Riza's eyes lowered. "Well?" he said, tapping his foot. With a blink of an eye, Hawkeye flipped over Envy, and had a gun placed on his leg. "If I shoot...I'll show you what's so great about me...I might even tell you about it in hell, with detail." Envy smirked and stepped aside. "Not bad...too bad it couldn't save your friend..." Riza smirked with revenge in her eye. "I'll never forgive you...even if you are my ally..."

"Ooh! Sharp words..." Envy laughed and sat down. "Any others?" asked Riza.

"Just three..." said Greed. Much to Riza's surprise, someone very familiar walked in. "You...you remind me of..." she gasped. "The Fhurer's secretary! Were you tricking him! You're really a homunculi! Unbelieveable! You had all of us on strings, even him!"

"No..." said Sloth.

Riza looked at her stranglely "What?" she asked. Greed smirked. "There's two more of us, remember?" there was silence. "PRIDE!" Greed shouted. Pride walked out. Riza's eyes grew wide as she staired at him. "You're lying. My life was not---it wasn't like this..."

"Believe what you want...but it was..." said a voice. Riza turned around. "You...LIAR!" she screamed at non other than our own fhurer.

Pride shrugged it off. "One more..." said Sloth. After another akward silence, there was a small voice ringing in all their ears. "mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!" rang the voice as a child stepped out of a corner, and ran to Sloth, hugging her. Hawkeye gave a confused look. "What's his name?"

"This is Wrath. Careful with him, he's got a terrible temper, and only listens to Sloth." Lust said. Riza nodded, and looked at all of them once again, stopping at Pride. "You bastard..." she whispered.

Much to her surprise, Pride had raised his hand and slapped her on the face. "How dare you call me such names!" he seethed. Riza bounced up, very angrily. "What can I do! How do I do it! You all have some sort of power, what the hell is mine!" she asked. "Elizabeth...hand me that gun." Greed said, pointing to one on the ground.

"What? No..." she said. "Stubborn littlew bitch." Greed said as he walked over and took it. "Hey!" she shouted. Greed broke it in two solid pieces. Hawkeye gasped. She took a rock in her hand, preparing to throw it at him. "I can't believe you brok---wha!" the rock turned into a gun. "Now, throw the gun over there." Riza blinked, staring at the gun. She threw it. "Now stand where you are, and pick it up." said Sloth. "What? That's impossible!"

"Go ahead, try it." said Greed.

Riza reached her hand out. "Err...what?" The gun was back in her hand. "No trouble fighting, obviously, and you've still got all your 'skills' from when you were a human." Envy said almost sarcastically.

Hawkeye snorted at Envy, while turning back to Pride. "So...this whole time, you were just pulling us into your trap. And you had this one over here disguised as a secretary to help you. Clever...if only I had known when I was still human, I would've killed you."

Pride smiled. "I'm sure you would have...but now, you're one of us, which means now, I'm your ally as well." Pride sat down. "That gives a new meaning to the phrase 'Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer', doesn't it?" Riza scoffed. Greed nodded.

"So that's all of us." said Wrath.

Riza faced them. "Some of you...I knew when I was human. I knew Sloth, Pride, and I'd seen Envy repeatedly as I was trying to crack Hughes' case with Mus---"

She paused. "With that despicable human I dread. I swear I will kill him."

"We will kill him." said Greed, standing. "We'll all split into teams. Sloth and Wrath, Lust and Gluttony, Pride and Envy, and Elizabeth and I." Envy and Pride scoffed at each other, Wrath hugged Sloth, and Lust and Gluttony were off, as they usually would be (I mean, they're always together).

"After all, you may have had no trouble at all defeating those weaklings that you so loved as a human, but Mustang...he'll be a bit more challenging." Riza stood still. "I have a question..." she said softly. "Shoot..." Greed said.

"Did...I really kill them?"

Greed looked at her strangely, but with some sort of sickening smirk. "...I know you didn't mean it..." he said. She looked up at him. "But you did." he grinned. A tear ran down Riza's face. "I see...I can still cry." Greed nodded. He sighed. "Let me know what you want to do about Mustang." he said, walking off. Riza remained. She clenched her cold fists. Slowly opening her hands up, she started at them. A tear fell into her right palm.

She stared at the tear, and sat down, lonely sorrowful thoughts stirring in her head.
