Chapter 14
Greed and Amy left that very night. Kira did not go with her, for obvious reasons. The place where Envy was supposed to be was homunculus mansion, Dante's place. Greed brought Amy here, Envy waiting for them.
"Good boy Greed, you have her." Envy said, letting them into the mansion. The homunculus growled, not being in a good mood. Envy led them into the common room, bookshelves and stairs covering the walls. Amy noticed there was an elaborate transmutation circle in the center, crossed with the Nicolas Flammel symbol; though she didn't know if Greed did.
Envy stood on the edge of the array, making sure Greed and Amy were in the middle.
"Here you go." Envy said, tossing Greed a small sack. It sounded as if it had money inside, next Greed pushed Amy over to Envy. The pack was made.
"Have fun." Greed retorted, turning to walk away.
"Oh, but we're not done yet; Greed." Envy grabbed Amy's wrists from behind, forcing her to clap her hands together before hitting the back of the knees, causing her to buckle and fall to her hands and knees on the ground. Envy stayed in the disturbing position the two were in, Amy trying to struggle out from his gasp; He overpowered her and forced her to keep her hands on the edge of the array. In a couple moments, a small vibe went through Amy, and the array before her glowed a bright blue; Greed engulfed in the light.
"Greed!"
The sin fell over, gripping his chest. At last he noticed a skeleton of bones resting in the corner of the room…he knew he felt odd for some reason, and this was it. Sweat started running down his face, chest burning, head throbbing. Next thing he knew, he was coughing up the precious red stones that made him.
Envy kept her down until Greed coughed up his last red stone, then threw Amy back against the wall. When she managed to get to her feet again, Envy had stabbed something through Greed's back while he was down…after a moment she could tell it was a bone. One of his bones. Without another moment to loose, she ran for it, out of the mansion and back the way Greed had brought her. She ran until she couldn't anymore, and fell over on the ground.
Before she could catch her breath, someone came. They were walking closer, and she couldn't tell who it was because of the darkness. Finally when they spoke, she knew exactly who it was. "You better keep quiet about this." Envy threatened coldly. His voice seemed crisp with pulsing anger, making Amy even more scared than before. In a quick flash of light, the sin took the appearance of Greed.

A couple days passed before anything suspicious started happening with Wrath. The next thing everyone knew, the boy had disappeared.
"Somebody took the boy!" Winry ran through the door shouting. Mrs. Izumi stood up abruptly, "Where is he now? By who?"
Winry paced while frantically talking. "A statesman just came up and took him. I tried to argue with him and get the boy back, but they said he was the key for an ongoing investigation. I guessed he'd be alright because Major Armstrong was with him…"
Most everyone in the room was on their toes now, Mrs. Izumi storming out of the room after Winry was done. "Teacher, wait!" Al shouted, he and Ed going after her. After that, pretty much everyone followed. Either wanting to see the action, get back Wrath, or just because they didn't want to be left alone.

Kimblee and Amy were headed their way towards South Headquarters. The weird lizard chimera guy dressed in the dark green robe was following them, itching with excitement to infiltrate a military base.
"That Lt. Colonel took the kid, so this is our chance to get him back!" he shrilled, laughing in anxiety. Kimblee smirked, hands in pockets. "Easy enough…" he replied, taking a glance at Amy. The girl was frowning down at the ground. The last couple days, had been hell for her. She couldn't look at the imposter 'Greed' without shuddering in fear, so she was jumpy about every little thing, her mind on high end. Nobody at the Devil's Nest even noticed Greed was a little different, and they didn't know it was really Envy.
"Oiy. Amy, I asked if your ready." Kimblee repeated. Amy looked up at him, then back at the ground. "Yeah, sure. If you are." she said blandly. The guy couldn't help but wonder what was wrong…but as they approached the back of the military base, large explosions and rumblings came from the building. The group quickly got inside, avoiding rubble and trying to find what they originally came for.

Ed and Al were hot on Izumi's trail, but couldn't stop her from going and tearing up the base. Sig had been able to hold back Winry and Brandon, but Selene managed to slip past him and go after Ed. She was worried as hell.
"Ed!"
The building was collapsing faster than she thought it would…the bottom floors had it the worst, having to support 4 or 5 floors above. Rubble falling from the ceiling was slowing Selene down massively, before she ran into Kimblee. The guy would have blown her out of his way if not for Amy stepping in.
"Leave her alone Zolof!"
He gave her a weirdly surprised look…she called him by his first name. NO ONE ever did that. After a few more minutes, Amy and Selene got separated from Kimblee. He had found himself, Ed, along with Armstrong and Archer; all confronting Izumi; who held Wrath in her arms. Amy and Selene had decided to flee the building, coming out the back entrance Kimblee had made. "Izumi's in there, she has Wrath!"
"Well, hopefully I can get a hold of him for Greed…" her sentence trailed when she said his name. Selene took notice of her pale face, and asked the question she and Brandon had been wondering. "Amy, why don't you come back with us? The Devil's Nest is no place for a teenaged girl like you; your not doing so well!"
Amy stayed quiet, not wanting to agree, but always to object. "No, Selene. I can't."
Just then, a huge explosion crashed from their side of the wall from about the second story. The two girls ducked in cover to see Izumi making an escape, Wrath in grasp. Ed and Al came behind the girls, Ed snatching up Selene. "We gotta go! Now!" he said rushingly, pulling the red headed girl along.
Amy looked back to see Kimblee, coming out from the entrance he made. "That damn women got the kid, we got to move before officers start flooding in." he said, utterly ticked. That's when Archer appeared. "Crimson Alchemist." he stated, Kimblee looking over of course.
"Oh no…" The girl muttered, Archer going on. "I'd like to offer you a re-instatement for the military…I can make it happen."
Kimblee glared for a moment, before Amy tugged on his shirt for them to go. The man turned to leave with Amy, not giving a glance back.
