"You should know being so acquainted with our kind Hohenheim that we won't be so easy to kill." Greed stated smugly glancing at his comrade whom wore an equally eased expression.
"I am aware that the actual bodies were used in the transmutations that created the six of you. However you don't necessarily need a body to bring about a homunculi's end. It could be anything really from a personal belonging to a beloved pet." Hohenheim replied tossing a pair of white gloves at Greed's feet. The red transmutation circle stood out against the white marring it's purity with it's blood red color. Lust turned to her companion her cocky expression faultering and failing completely as she caught Greed's expression. His face had turned a sickening white as sweat shone clearly on his face. His breathing became labored as he sunk to his knee's clutching his chest. "Greed! Greed! You bastard what did you do!" Lust demanded kneeling next to him and cradling Greed to her tightly. Hohenheim didn't reply as he sat smugly in his chair. His lips curled in a smile as he put his fingers to his mouth and whistled. The black and white dog scampered quickly to Hohenheim's side and sat obediantly eyeing Lust for some time as she too hunched over and began a coughing spasm that gave way to vomitting. The red stones lurched from her body as did Greed's making them feel weak as their sweat dripped off of them in currents. Lust could hear the dog growling and glanced at to see it's teeth bared at her as it took a fighting stance as if ready to attack her at any given moment.

"As I said before, join my cause or die on the spot."

The worst part of being eaten alive was the fact that Gluttony simply wouldn't die. The second being that Gluttony never seemed to become full resulting in a torturous circle that didn't seem to end. She had for the most part been able to protect her torso from the manic chomping jaws and acidic saliva that pooled against whatever flesh she had left burning it away. She could slowly feel small bits of her flesh regrowing only to be bitten away by the cannibal homunculus as it didn't seem to end. Gluttony had given up on screaming hours before realizing it wasn't going to do any good except make her head ache and her throat (what was left of her throat anyways) parched. How many times had she died? She wasn't sure but every time she reopened her eyes she felt the sharp teeth as it bit through her thigh bone, tore out her throat again and again feeling new blood run out of the wounds that had momentarily healed pooling beside the blood that had already caked and dried against the cement of the roof she laid against. Her vision became hazy as a smile crossed her face knowing well that unconsciouness would claim her.

The all to familiar site of the gate loomed in front of her as she stood up. Gluttony sighed kicking it with her foot.
"Yup! So how many time's does this make it now?" She yelled as it opened slowly revealing the creatures that lived inside. The creatures that lived off of foolish humans who were not of strong enough will to transmute. Gluttony shook her head as they reached out for her with their scrawny arms just barely clearing their clutching grasps.

"Uh-uh sorry but you'll have to do better than that!" She teased slapping at the small hands as they barely grabbed whisps of her hair as she backed away twirling around the creatures humming to herself as she teased them relentlessy. Her gaze caught the door as she twirled causing her to stop dead in her tracks. Standing in the doorway was a nude girl with long blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. Gluttony's breath hitched in her chest as she stared at the mirror reflection in the doorway. She edged closer her eyes wide as the other simply stared at her devoid of all emotion.

"Who are you?" Gluttony asked feeling her stomach tense as naseua took her over. The girl shook her head once as the door closed with a heavy thud.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Gluttony! Gluttony! Wake up!" Pride's voice sounded from above her.

"Brother is she dead?" Wrath asked concerned. Pride shook his head.

"No she's alive Wrath. Just unconsciouss." Pride replied. Gluttony's eye lids flickered as she moaned feeling the aches that ran through her body like wild fire. Her eyes shot open as she sat bolt upright.
"The girl at the gate! She was me! I saw her! I saw the girl I was supposed to be!" Gluttony screamed clutching her head as she began to sob. Wrath inched away frightened of her his grey eyes wide and staring. Pride stared as well unsure of exactly what to do. Soft arms wrapped around Gluttony as she cried and shook her head slowly.

"Sloth?" Wrath asked. "What are you doing here?" Sloth shrugged.
"Sloth?" Pride asked confused. "Who isshe?" Wrath stood up putting a hand behind his head.

"Uh, well you see there was this girl and I uh..there was an accident and you see..." He stammered. Pride stood up taking Wrath by the shoulders roughly.
"Did you kill a girl Wrath?" He asked his voice barely a whisper. Wrath stared at him eyes wide shaking his head slowly.
"Don't lie to me damn it! Did you kill the girl she was derived from?" Pride yelled at him. Wrath began to tremble as Pride's eyes blazed angry gold.

"TELL ME!" He shouted shaking Wrath slightly digging his fingers into the boys flesh. Wrath broke away as tears poured down his face.
"Yes I did okay! I killed her and you know what Pride I'd do it again!" Wrath screamed at the elder homunculi. Pride stalked up to Wrath quickly smacking him hard across the face causing the boy to fall to the ground. Wrath placed a hand to his bruised cheek staring murder at Pride through his tears. Pride dropped to his knee's as tears dripped down his own face and embraced Wrath tightly.

"Did Envy make you do it?" Pride asked with a futile hope knowing well what his answer would be.

"No. I just did it." He answered as he rested his head against Pride's shoulder.

"Get off of him you bastard!" Envy screamed as he knocked Pride roughly away.

"Brother!" Wrath yelled scrambling to be by Pride's side.
"You stay there! What did I tell you, huh? You are mine Wrath! You do what I tell you when I tell you nothing else!" Envy screamed at Wrath causing more tears and trembling from the boy. He clutched his knee's to his chest tightly sobbing.

"Leave him alone!" Pride yelled spearing Envy to the ground pinning his hands above his head.

"You can't have him he's mine!" Envy retorted kicking Pride off of him causing him to fly some feet away. Pride landed gracefully on his knee's.

"Wrath run!" Pride shouted but his words only fell on deaf ears as Wrath rocked himself sobbing hysterically.

Hohenheim sat in his chair swirling the wine around the glass that he held. He smirked to himself feeling his plan come full circle. Greed and Lust had left with the older Lust to reconvene with the other homunculi to track down Envy and bring him to the underground city where Hohenheim would deal with him personally.

"Very soon this will all be nothing but a bad dream my friends." He said to the empty hall receiving nothing but his echo.
