LAST…
(((( Ed sat down on the couch next to his brother and kicked his feet up on the wooden table, sighing and absentmindedly rubbing the part of his shoulder where flesh met metal. "A homunculus is only created by failed human transmutation, right?"
Al nodded slowly, unsure of what his brother was thinking. Ed looked towards the screen door where he saw Tessa get off the swing and go join her cousins in a game of tag.
"Then what is Tessa?"
Al's eyes slowly widened, his mouth hanging open slightly. "Oh… fuck..." ))))
NOW…
I smiled over at my younger sister, her eyes just barely peeking over the giant sandcastle we had made. We were both covered in sea water and sand, seaweed threaded into our hair by our mother who was sitting next to us. Her dark red hair was piled messily upon her head with twigs and her beautiful pink eyes were twinkling at us.
I crawled past her to my father who was snoring on the warm sand, big black sunglasses perched upon his nose as his hands rested on his stomach. I plopped my five-year-old body on his chest and poked his nose, waking him up quickly.
He sat up, catching me, long black hair mixing in with my own as he laughed, swinging me around, our green eyes gleeful. Neko stumbled over and lifted her arms up to mom, expecting to be picked up.
Our mom lifted her up and Neko smiled, her front tooth missing. I messed up my daddy's hair and he did the same to mine.
Neko and the rest of us went back into the water and as I was sitting on my daddy's shoulders, she pointed at me from mom's.
"Nirvana." She said slowly and we stared at her. I clapped my hands, grinning happily as she said her first word, coming out of her muteness. "Nirvana!" She said it again, louder this time as mom and dad hugged her.
I climbed into mom's arms and together, seaweed still wrapped in our hair, we fell asleep…
I woke with a start, breathing heavily and clutching my head as memory after memory was poured into my head. I kept my noises to myself as I received Neko's birth, my children's birth… the Human Transmutation… and Makoto's death…
Jean woke up on the cot next to me and grasped my hand, his unnatural calamity immediately soothing me as I leaned into the hand that was pressing against my temple. Jean quietly moved over to my cot in the darkness and pressed both hands against my temple, his lips resting against my own softly.
"What's wrong?" He asked, his voice brushing over my lips and nerves like velvet. I leaned into him, keeping our lips touching as we spoke quietly. I rested my own hands on his thighs, closing my eyes.
"I got my memories back." I said as the last memory echoed around me. I was brining Nakita back to life... and the transmutation failed…
It hurt… oh God did it hurt…
((((UNKNOWN UNDERGROUND CAVE ))))
"HA!" Liberality shouted triumphantly as he uncovered his and Abstinence's chests. "I found them, Abby!" He shouted up the stairs as the motherly figure glided down the stairs, spotting the chests immediately.
She walked towards it, but let her hand hover above it, not touching it. Liberality was pulling his from the rock wall, ready to find out what was inside it. "I… I'm not looking in it." Abstinence said, moving back with a shake of her head.
Liberality looked at her like she was crazy. He had his hand over the latch, ready to break it in half. "What! How can you not want to see what's hidden inside the chest? Don't you want to know who you were?"
She shook her head. "I'd rather not know. I have an idea that it will just make future things complicated." Liberality scowled at her as she disappeared back up the stairs, that annoying light purple dress fluttering in the underground vents.
The Virtue turned back to his chest and reached his hand out, grasping the lock with a black hand. The backwards Oruborus that was etched on his thigh lit up and he was slammed into the chest with a grunt. "Ow…" He grumbled as his vision started to fade; the Oruborus now spinning painfully on his skin, flowing into the lock.
The chest exploded, taking Liberality with it. Blood and bits of wood coated the walls as Abstinence flew back down the stairs, looking around frantically for Liberality.
Said homunculus was on the floor, the white alchemic light around him as he slowly pieced himself back together. He sat up, groaning, rubbing his neck with two black carbon-covered hands. "Damn… now I know why Greed hated me doing that…"
Abstinence watched in morbid shock as Liberality stood up, rubbing his hands where two tattoos were etched. "Liberality… who's Greed?"
He looked at her. "Greed. He's the homunculus who you ordered to be killed." He explained as if it was the simplest thing in the world. Abstinence continued to look confused. "Come on, Juliet. You and the Fuhrer ordered his death while I worked with Tucker under Archer's command."
"Who's the Fuhrer? Why are you calling me Juliet? What's wrong with you Liberality?"
Diligence walked down the stairs, his black hair wet from the drizzle outside. "Ah… Liberality, it seems you decided to open it. Was it everything you wanted?" He clapped his hands and put them against the wall, transmutating himself a chair made of wood.
Liberality smirked and nodded. "Everything." He leaned foreword. "So… what am I to do now?"
(((( NEXT MORNING ))))
"Somebody's leading them." Nyoko said as she walked out of the building, joining Nirvana and Neko who were filling their guns and pockets with ammo. Nirvana looked up, her eyepatch crooked. Nyoko flinched, seeing the scarred socket for the first time.
The bomber quickly replaced it and stood up, cocking her gun and leaning it against her shoulder. "Really? Who?"
"Some guy with blue hair and gold eyes. Peck, Connell and I don't recognize him. We thought maybe one of you would know him; being from the city and all." Neko stood up and looked down at her paper.
"Let's go look. How big was the group?" Nirvana asked, throwing the rifle strap over her shoulder and grabbing ahold of the nearest gutter, pulling herself up with her automail arm. Neko followed her—less gracefully of course—as Nyoko was forced to wait for a moment before grabbing onto various poles and hauling herself up.
"It looked like the rest of the damn city!" Nyoko exclaimed as she got up with Neko. Nirvana was staring through a pair of binoculars at the oncoming group.
"Guy with blue hair… gold eyes…" She mumbled, trying to spot him. "Damn! I can't see from this far!" She looked to Neko. "I caught a flash of a military uniform though."
Nyoko frowned. "Might be Peck… I left him and Connell over there. Where's Viper?"
Nirvana answered. "I sent him to the Train station. Somebody came to visit me yesterday and I'm hoping he left."
"Nope! I'm still here!" Envy chirped and the bomber spun around jumping on the homunculus with a snarl. "Hey!"
"What the hell are you still doing here, freak! I told you to go back!"
Neko and Nyoko blinked before a chorus of, "MONKEY-GIRL" happened. Nirvana snarled and punched him twice.
"I didn't feel like leaving!" Envy snarled, bucking the woman off and landing on her, his claws trapping her wrists above her head. "Woman! Stop moving!"
"Envy! Let her go!" Nyoko looked at Envy and Neko as Neko yelled that.
Envy snarled at Neko. "Why? I'm tired of being blown up!"
Nirvana took the distraction helpfully and flipped positions, leaning down on Envy's back and sinking twin fangs into the red array that was slightly above his skin. He stilled beneath her, small painful whimpers coming from his throat.
"Nirvana…." Envy breathed out quietly, his eyes scrunched up in pain. The alchemist slowly withdrew her fangs as the three arrays on Envy's back dripped blood down his pale skin. Dressed in only his skorts, Neko could clearly see the three arrays that were leaking blood from Nirvana's treatment.
"Envy?" She finally asked quietly, helping her lover up. Nyoko stared in confused amazement.
"A homunculus?" Nyoko asked as she spotted the Oruborus on Envy's thigh. Nirvana looked at Nyoko as she gently rubbed the three arrays. Envy stood up, blood dripping down his pale skin in rivulets.
"Bitch." Envy snarled as he slapped Nirvana, hard enough for a bruise. The alchemist turned her head with it, lessening the damage slightly as Neko and Nyoko stared.
"Yeah… He's the only homunculus that survived when all the rest were used as sacrifices." Nirvana said bitterly, holding her face. Something was affecting Envy. Could it be the Seven Virtues that were out there? Their own Oruborus' affecting his own?
Nirvana didn't wait for anything; she lunged off the building with her gun and started running to the oncoming mob. She could hear the chants as Envy jumped off, following her.
Nirvana came to a stop, her gun level with her shoulder. She could see military blues come up.
Envy walked up next to her, his head was bowed slightly as he morphed his hands into flaming spites of fire; a trick he had learned by total accident. "I'm sorry for that back there. The Virtues are acting up with me. Sins are not supposed to be with their opposites. It's just acting with my head."
Nirvana nodded and smiled at him slightly. "Alright. Sorry for biting your arrays."
Envy nodded. "How did you get fangs?"
The alchemist looked at Envy before walking foreword. "I married you basically. I picked up some traits from you."
The man with the blue hair and golden eyes appeared and Nirvana faltered in her steps.
"Y-YOU!" She accused pointed at Liberality. He bowed.
"Glad to see that you remember me, Nirvana-san." He stood up, resting a hand on his hip. "After all, I expected no less. You can't just forget Zolof Kimblee, The Crimson Alchemist."
Heh, like the twist? Can anybody guess who:
Liberality is:
Diligence is (The one with black hair fuschia eyes, male):
Patience (The White-haired girl child):
Chastity (The blondehaired, blue eyed woman in the first or second chapter):
Mercy (the little kid):
Abstinence (hint: She's been created twice, once as a sin now as a virtue):
Guess em, and I dunno what to give you... A FANART PIECE! I dunnoo...
Sorry, short chapter. I'll update sooner next time! I'm sick so I'll hopefully have the time!
