Random talking chimera #498: On with the fic.

Greed was far off from the edge of Central with Sakura and it seemed like no one was going to find her again and Sakura had no idea where she was going; Greed had knocked her unconscious on his run out of the secret room. Sakura bounced in Greed's grip as he ran towards the unknown.

He raced through the sewers underground and into a room which housed a large machine. He dropped the unconscious girl and stepped away from her.

"There, I got her for you. Now leave me alone!" Greed shouted as he raced away. Out of the shadows, Gluttony, Lust, and Pride stepped into the light. Gluttony picked Sakura up and looked at Lust.

"Can I eat her?" Gluttony asked, but all Lust did was smile.

"Now now, Gluttony, we have to wait for Envy. Right father?" She looked towards the machine.

"Yes. We have to remind Envy that he is a homunculus, and she is a human." The voice wearily stated from the machine. A sigh was heard, "Though I really don't want to." He muttered.

In Lab 5, Tucker was working on some of the Chimera's for Sakura when Envy burst in.

"TUCKER! WHERE THE HELL DID GREED TAKE SAKURA!" Envy shouted at Tucker as he grabbed the chimera by his head.

"I don't know what you mean," Tucker said sarcastically as he turned around to face Envy.

"You know damn well what I mean you twisted freak of nature!" Envy said as he landed a punch into Tucker's face.

"All I can tell you is this, he has taken her to his father and beyond that, I don't know what is to happen to the girl," Tucker said as he saw Envy preparing to strike him again.

Envy uncurled his fist and with an evil grin told Tucker, "Thanks, now I have some business to attend to."
After leaving the abandoned Labratory, Envy raced back towards Ed and Al dorm; he stormed into their rooms without hesitation and without regard of how Ed would react to Envy's rude awakening as he shook and slapped the boy.

"What…what the hell Envy! What do you want!" Ed shouted, but in the next instant Envy placed his hand over the short alchemist's mouth.

"You need to help me," Envy said as he uncovered Ed's mouth.

"Help you? With what?" Al asked as Ed glared at Envy.

"I don't care what he wants, I ain't helping him!"

"Then you don't care if Sakura dies?" Envy asked Ed coldly. Ed stared in shock at him as Al grabbed Envy by his shirt.

"What do you mean? Where's Miss Sakura?" He asked, as Ed softly repeated what Envy had said.

Tension hung in the air as Al released Envy's shirt and placed him back on the floor; Ed hung his head in shame at the mere thought of losing Sakura, not only would he miss her, but Mustang would blame Ed. Ed had never felt so strong about something in his life, but now with Sakura's life in the balance, he had to do something.

"So tell me, do you have any ideas where Greed might be headed with her?" Ed asked as he kept his head hung low and his voice was filled with anger.

"That worthless chimera Tucker told me that Greed may have taken her to my father for whatever purpose he sees fit to use Sakura for," Envy said as he looked in Ed's direction, "what are you thinking shrimp?"

"We are going to need more help then just the three of us, we are going to need some more help," Ed said as he looked up and pulled on his red jacket and headed for Mustang's dorm.

While all of hell was breaking lose, Lt. Hawkeye was finishing up with Tomoyo who was less then grateful to be released from Lt. Hawkeye's watchful gaze at the Training Center. Tomoyo ran into the arms of Havoc and he embraced her as they walked on down the street back towards his dorm where he promised her that she could stay the night.

"Lieutenant Havoc, don't do anything that would bring about a harsh consequence," Lt. Hawkeye remarked to Havoc, but he brushed her off as if he knew what she meant.

Lt. Hawkeye was holstering her pistol and putting Tomoyo's gun away when Mustang showed up at the Training Center with a less then cheerful glint in his eye; his behind was still bugging him, but seeing Lt. Hawkeye's face brightened his demeanor. While Lt. Hawkeye had her back to the Colonel, he made his move as he wrapped his arms around Lt. Hawkeye's waist and pulled her close to whisper something in her ear.

"Good evening Lieutenant, are you busy after a long day of training?" Mustang asked as whispered these words into her ear.

"I don't know Colonel, I have to get home and feed Black Hayate, taking a bite out of you didn't fill him up like he hoped," Lt. Hawkeye said sarcastically as she let the foreplay continue.

The fun between the Colonel and Lieutenant would have continued, but Warrant Officer Vato Falman came charging into the Training Room with urgent news from the Elrics regarding Sakura.

"Colonel, Edward and Alphonse Elric are here to see you and they say it is urgent that they speak to you!" Falman said as he stood in the doorway.

"What's so urgent Falman?" Mustang asked as he pulled himself away from Lt. Hawkeye.

"Would you answer my request if I told you it was regarding Sakura?" Ed asked as he opened the door the rest of the way and glared at the Colonel.

Colonel Mustang and Lt. Hawkeye gathered their bearings about them and raced back to the office where they could talk and Ed could explain about what was going on, but Envy was impatiently wanting to charge after Greed and not be stuck at Headquarters while the friends made up a plan of attack. He wished he could reveal his true self instead of hiding behind the disguise of Lt. Thompson, but he knew now was not the time for such things.

"Ed, tell me all you know about this situation," Mustang said as he painfully and quickly sat down in his desk chair.

"I'm not the one you should be talking to Colonel," Ed said as he pointed at the disguised Lt. Thompson.

Envy was about ready to strangle Ed as he pointed his finger at him and he knew now or never, no other time would better then to reveal that he wasn't human and that he was truly Lt. Thompson.

"Well the shrimp has got me into this mess and now it's time to get out of it."

"Well, Lt. Thompson what is it?" Mustang impatiently asked.

"First off, I'm not truly Lt. Thompson," Envy said as he shed his disguise of the 'false' Lieutenant, "Secondly, I'm not human either, I'm what you pathetic humans call a Homunculus."
