Chapter Three

Ayumu's post

They all looked on in awe as Bayleigh came back to life, reforming.

"Well, look at that..." said the skinny green haired one. It then started laughing insanely.

The woman in the dress smirked as well, "Nice find, Envy."

"Well, I try--" but it was cut off when the massive creature, Gluttony, piped up, "Hungry..." It stared at Ayumu salivating. Ayumu, for lack of defense, squeaked and put up her best "fighting/don't kill me" stance.

"Ugh, keep an eye on that, Lust..." spat Envy. It returned to Bayleigh who was almost fully recovered.

My Post

"So you're one of them, huh? Yeah, just what I thought..." Ed said disgusted.
"What...no I'm not-"
"Oh yes you are, I assume father made you..." The green haired one said cheerfully.

"Heh, you said you thought you were dead back at that time of the "incident" and you said you saw a red flash. Yeah, a homunculus. It's created when the dead is brought back through human transmutation but fails...and later comes back as a soulless monster with only a mind and body and is kept immortal when it is powered by the Philosopher's stone." Ed finished.

"Uh, Envy?" The woman asked, "Are you sure about this? Her being ALL homunculus?"

"Well, to be sure." Envy then transformed into Edward and his arm became a blade, and bashed its fist right through Bayleigh's metal stomach. A bright red light glowed inside.

"Ah, yes. One of us...wait---" Envy glanced just below the stone's glow. There was a rune, marked with blood. Envy transformed back.
"Wait, she has ...a soul? Then...she wasn't created by father...there's another out there, isn't there? Who created you?"

"I- I don't know..." Bayleigh said struggling to her feet; she was still in awe that there was a Philosopher's stone inside her all along.

Envy just kicked her in the face and she fell back down.
"I- I never knew..."
"SHUT UP! Who is the Alchemist who created you! If father didn't make you then who did?"

"I wasn't created! I had parents you know..."

Envy only chuckled. "Just tell me, ya' punk kid, it would be precious information. We need your creator the same reason we need shorty over there..."

Edward was clenching his fists tight from this whole scene.
"I'm. Not. One. Of. YOU!" Right then Bayleigh pulled out a gun and aimed it at the green haired monster's face.
"You know I won't die. Pathetic. You just saw yourself die and come back, and you STILL want to try again?"
"Well, if this bullet can't fly through your head, then..." Bayleigh paused, but for only a millisecond, just enough time to pull the trigger twice. But instead of hitting Envy it hit Al and they ricocheted into Lust and Envy, right in the heads. She had to pause and switch feet before the third shot, which hit Gluttony.
"Cause a distraction..." She darted out of the ally, past Ed and the gang. But turned around and yelled back to them.
"RUN YOU IDIOTS!" Then turned back and started running through the streets and in and out of various alleyways of brick walled shops.
Then as Bayleigh was running down another ally she turned her head.
"Damn, I hope they're ok…" Bayleigh said between breaths. Then when she turned her face back in front of her to see where she was going she stopped short.
"You scare my friends, fire bullets at my brother, and flee from the scene?" remarked Ed pointing his bladed arm at Bayleigh's head. "You're worse than that palm tree bastard...well close to it..." Bayleigh only frowned.

"So, you didn't believe me? Hell, I aint no homunculus." Said Bayleigh angered.
"Heh, yeah right. I bet that blood rune's a fake..."
Bayleigh only sighed and got angrier. She clapped her hands together and, before Ed could make his move, she grabbed his blade and slammed it against his left leg, and fused them together. Ed toppled over, and Bayleigh ran to the alley's exit.
"Damn you!" shouted Ed struggling on the ground. But then his eyes widened when he remembered Bayleigh clapping her hands to transmute...and it's just the fact that she transmuted in the first place...
Bayleigh was about to take a turn out of the alley when she slammed into Al.

Ayumu's Post

Al grabbed onto Bayleigh and was about to attack when Ed's voice pierced the air.

"No, wait, Al! Don't hurt her she can't be homunculi, she can perform Alchemy!"
Al dropped Bayleigh as Ayumu caught up panting. "I h-hate those things..." gasped Ayumu.
Her eyes grew wide when she saw Bayleigh.

"You!" Ayumu uncharacteristically lunged at Bayleigh only to be held back by Al.
"No! Don't!" yelled Al.

"Oof! No! She...tried...to hurt...you...two!" struggled Ayumu.
She soon gave up in her struggles knowing it was pointless. Ed then hopped over to explain, and get his arm and leg unfused.
"At least we're rid of those homunculi, for now, anyway..." muttered Ed.

Yeah, not so much of a cliff hanger in this chapter. Tell me what you think. Comments, critiques, and flames accepted (if necessary.)
