Chapter2: The homunculus who uses alchemy

Ed, Al and Ling stayed petrified with the image of the new homunculus staying in front of them. His inexpressive eyes cooled their blood.

- So, you're supposed to be the original one- he finally said – I can't understand how a pitiful being like you could be "Father's Pride"-

- That's Enough Pride – Hohenheim shouted – don't provoke him.

Pride turned and went back doing a reverence to his father.

- You really must be intrigued Edward – Hohenheim began to speak again – he is my youngest son, Pride, I've created him 3 months ago with my last sin.

- Homunculi creation is the result of a successful human transmutation – Pride continued – when you create a body resembling a human one with the ingredients and then you put a Philosopher's stone along with a soul shard you create a homunculus.

- Just very interesting your science class – Ed responded with an ironical but desperate voice – BUT WHY F REASON DO YOU LOOK LIKE ME?

- The homunculus takes the appearance of something that has the appearance of the soul shard that is in fact his own soul. So, that's how gluttony looks like a bigger and insatiable fat guy and envy doesn't have a really true human form because he has envy of everyone.

- So that means – Ed replied, completely shocked

- THAT HE RESEMBLES MY PRIDE! – Hohenheim shouted – see, even while I was being away from home, Trisha wrote me some letters about your alchemy progress, the stubborn that you were, and the great kindness you had with your brother, and then I heard about your success at gaining the state alchemist certification at the age of 12 and all your feats in your travels, I was very proud of you my son; and when I created him, without wanting it, he looked like my real Pride.

Ed was feeling confused, irritated and somewhat disgusted. How a person like him could be the Pride of a crazy person like Hohenheim, who was trying to make a Philosopher's stone with the People of Amstresis?

- And so, I'm here – Pride spoke again – As a better version of you. You, pitiful humans, doomed to live a short life and having to protect your bodies as your most valuable possession. It's seems that you failed doing that – he said with an ironical tone, seeing Ed's arm and then Al's body.

- SHUT UP YOU LABORATORY MONSTER- Ed shouted, attacking him with his already transmuted automail arm, but Pride stopped him strongly grabbing it.

- You really don't think you can beat me, do you? You are just a weak human, and I'm Perfect.

Ed managed to get free and attacked Pride Again, transmuting the floor between them into spikes, but Pride put his hands together, and without touching the floor, he transmuted a wall in front of him, stopping Ed's reaction. He was frozen.

- Oh! I forgot to say that Pride, being my greatest creation, can use alchemy just like us – Hohenheim said

- A homunculus that can use alchemy – Ed replied – now I think I should be scared.

- As you saw, there is nothing you can do that I can't do better – then he approached to Ed and said – I said you were the original one; but, are you sure you are the original one?- Then he alchemized an air capsule and sent Ed flying

- NI-SAAN! – Al shouted – he saw the face of his brother, he had an expression of pain, desperation and impotence

- And now, what should we do with them? – Envy asked

- They are precious human sacrifices- Pride answered – we should jail them along with Dr. Marcoh –

- do you have imprisoned Dr. Marcoh, YOU…

Ed couldn't finish talking; a big explosion suddenly filled the room with fog and dust. From the now destroyed gates, Scar appeared along with a little girl.

- XIAO MEI, XIAO MEI, WHERE ARE YOU! – The girl shouted

From Al's armour an incredibly small little Panda Popped up and ran towards the girl

- Ohh! Xiao Mei! Xiao Mei! I was so worried about you- she said, picking up and hugging her, and then she ran furiously towards Al, completely ignoring Hohenheim and the Homunculi. – You horrible can monster, why do you kidnapped Xiao Mei-

- Kidnapped Xiao Mei, you mean the little cat? No I didn't kidnapped her, you left her near the train station

- I'd never left Xiao Mei Nowhere; you have kidnapped here ….AND YOU WILL PAAAAY FOR THAAAAAAAT!

- AAAh! "niisan" help me…

- Uuurgh!

- I won't have suspect I'll see you here among all these creatures, Edward Elric – Scar said

- WHAAAAAAT, IS HE EDWARD ELRIC! – the girl screamed.

- Yes, I am

- So… Then… So ………………………………………………………………………

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! – And then she fainted.

But then Ling shouted – May Chen!

- Ling? - She recovered –LING! What are you doing here, you third Rate prince! Are you trying to steal me the secret of Immortality?

- Hey! I come here first to obtain the secret, and YOU are the third rate here! And this is not time to fight about that. Haven't you noticed about the creatures at your back?

- Uh? ….. AAAAARRRRGHHHHH! TOO MANY! TOO MANY INSIDE! HOW… HOW…?

- Oh, so you could also see the souls beneath our body, what a disturbing ability – Envy Replied

- We are homunculi and we are composed of a lot of human souls – Pride said – but you now know too much and I can't let you alive – and then he clapped again, and caused a lot of missiles coming from walls, floor and ceiling, attack the Elric Brother's, the Boy and Girl from Xing and Scar, even without touching them.

They were able to dodge them, by few. –We must flee from this place, Quickly - Scar shouted- then he touché the ground filling the room with Smoke and Dust. When the smoke dissipated, none of the five intruders were there.

- I won't let them escape, Envy, Gluttony, Follow me! – Pride shouted but when they were to leave the room Hohenheim told him – Pride! Remember, don't kill the Brothers

Pride stayed some seconds and then he said: - yes, Father.
