Roy: Man...as if my life didn't suck already
Riza: You complaining sir, I could push my knee into some place other then your posterior next time
Roy: I'm cool
Ed: Come on, we gotta find Sakura!
Envy: Chill Pipsqueak!
Falman: I guess I'm the only cool headed one around here so I'll do the disclaimer: Fullmetal Alchemist and all related characters, locations, and objects are not owned by either of the fan fiction authors.
Amanda: Thanks Sgt. Falman, now let's get back...ED, LET GO OF ENVY! goes over and starts to pry Ed off
Riza: Enjoy the story folks...
Erin: Hey, that's my line...
Colonel Mustang and Lt. Hawkeye were shocked as Envy stood in the headquarters office as his true self; Mustang felt the urge to charge over his desk and strangle the very life from the Homunculi, but as he did, Lt. Hawkeye, Ed, Al and Falman tried to restrain the already painful Colonel. "Wait till I get my hands on you...you...monster!" Mustang yelled as he felt Lt. Hawkeye's knee press into the sore spot on his behind. "Thank...you...Lieutenant," Mustang painfully said as he slid to the floor in a heap at Envy's feet.
"Your welcome, sir." Lt. Hawkeye said as Col. Mustang went back around his desk and sat down in his chair again.
"Now then, what is it….?" Mustang didn't have any idea what to call the creature in front of him.
"Sir, for the past few weeks, I have been disguised as the so-called Lt. Thompson, but now that Sakura has gone missing, I feel that I should reveal the truth behind who I am...I take full responsibility for what has happened," Envy said as he bent at the waist in front of Mustang's desk.
"Envy...wait," Ed called out to him as Envy made his way out the office door and down the hall, "I know it's not your fault, but why all the secrecy?" Envy smirked at the young alchemist.
"If I told you that, I'd have to kill you." He turned around, walking away, "I'm going to go kill that bastard, Greed. You idiots sit here and 'plan' if you want."
Ed was taken back by the mere thought of Envy going after Greed alone, if anyone was going to rescue Sakura, it was going to be Ed; because lately, he had too had begun to have feelings for the 2nd Lieutenant.
Ed spun Envy around and slapped him around a few times, "Now you listen to me, you aren't the only one who cares about her, Colonel Mustang has been more of a brother then anything else to Sakura, and I can tell you this...you leave now without our help, Sakura is as good as dead," Ed said as he turned away from the hurt Homunculi as he walked back down the darkened hall back to Roy's office.
"What do I do? Do I ask the humans for help or go on alone?" Envy thought as he stood in the darkened hallway and pondered his options.
In the end, something he thought he never had, his heart, made the decision for him. He walked back into the Colonel's office, and leaned against the door.
"Ok, first we need to figure out exactly where Sakura is. From there, we can divise a plan of attack." Mustang said calmly, despite the rising fear in his blood.
"I know where she is," Envy said as he spoke while standing the doorway. Roy wasn't about to listen to the Homunculi, but his love for Sakura got the better of him as he let Envy explain where Greed may have taken her. "It's more than likely that the idiot took her to our 'father,' the one who created us. He is in the tunnels underneath this city. You can't go without a homunculi, however, because the chimera's there are under orders to kill you if you're without an escort." He stated, eyes closed as he awaited the Col.'s response.
The others looked to Roy as he pondered the truth behind Envy's words, but he could tell that Envy was their only key to find Sakura before something happened to her, "how far away are the tunnels?" Roy asked without even looking at Envy.
"Less than a mile from here. At least, that's where the entrance is."
Ed look hesitantly at the Colonel as he waited for Roy to swallow his pride and his ego and just let Envy lead them to Sakura; "How I do know you won't lead us astray and turn back to your evil roots?" Roy asked, but in an instant he felt Lt. Hawkeye's boot pushing it's way into the sore spot of his behind once again through the slit in the back of his chair.
"Sir, let go of your pride and ego for a second and trust him," Lt. Hawkeye said as she pressed hard into the sore spot. Envy glared at the man.
"I have my reasons for wanting Sakura alive, just as you do. I….I may need your help to save her," Envy spat out bitterly, "Unless you WANT her to die."
Roy's face turned sour as Riza removed her foot away from the Colonel's twice sore behind as Roy turned his gaze up towards Envy and saw the fiery gaze of the Homunculi and for a brief second he thought he could see the future that lay ahead for Sakura if they didn't save her. He saw her being used as tool for creating the Philosopher's Stone and as he continued to watch, he saw one by one, each of the Homunculi becoming humans. "No, I can't let that happen," Roy shouted as he slammed his fists onto the table and run from the office into the darkened streets of East City.
"Wait! You don't know the way!" Envy shouted as he and the others chased after the limping Colonel.
