Greed woke up handcuffed to something thick and metallic, which was roughly who his head felt. That was new, he thought, but he hadn't been shot with knockout drugs before. They were surprisingly effective actually. He resolved to keep that in mind. Looking down at his hands, he saw that he wouldn't be able to use his Ultimate shield to cut out of the handcuffs. He had probably cut through some already, so they were arranged so he couldn't do it again. He couldn't tell what the metal post he was cuffed to was made out of, but the scratches around where he had been able to reach told him that if his feet hadn't been cuffed to some other post as well, preventing him from getting to close, he would have been able to cut through him. "You're awake quickly." the woman from before noted from behind him. She closed the door and made her way to in front of him She was wearing those heels from before and a purple and blue mini-dress. Her blond hair was done in pigtails with pink elastics and she was wearing a gold tiara on her head that was the only part of her outfit that didn't look completely hidious. On her face and bare arms and shoulders there were deep scratch marks. Behind her, on a sparkly leash, she dragged...
A panther.
It was tied up and muzzled, and he could see the wounds from where that insane woman must have hit it to get it like that. Still, in the animals bright green eyes, there was still untamed, defiant ferocity burning that seemed to say "I will bite your head off if you give me any opportunity, you bitch." After seeing what she had done to the creature, Greed couldn't object to that. Wait. Greed thought. Why the hell did she decide to bring a panther into here? With an impeding sense of dread, he looked down at the floor. Chalk lines traced it, making a transmutation circle. Oh shit. He thought. She's going try to turn me into chimera, isn't she. Greed wasn't sure if that would actually work properly on him, but he was certain the results would be bad either way. An alchemic backfire from the transmutation (Yes, he sometimes actually learned something from Ed's mad alchemy lectures.) would be bad, but being turned into a chimera, especially by this women, might be worse . As she spoke again, the homunculus's suspicions were confirmed. "You'll make me such a cute little neko!" She exclaimed."Don't worry, after studying those other chimera, it will definitely go absolutely great! You're going to be..." she twirled," Kawaii!" She bent down. "But before that, you should get to know a bit about who you'll be transmutated with. This;" she said, gesturing towards the panther, "is Spirit. He's a panther. Now, I know he might not be that colourful, but I think he'll really be just perfect for you! He was a gift from one of my friends. I raised him since he was just a cub. He's a little iffy sometimes,"(Spirit growled at this)"But he just adores me like I'm his mother. Panthers play with each other by fighting all the time, so him scratching me is his way of saying that he loves me." The alchemist smiled at Greed. He was unpleasently reminded of the mouths of Prides shadows.
"Now, let's start!" She said, slamming her hands to the transmutation circle.
The thing that Greed remembered about the transmutation was mostly pain, screaming, from both him and Spirit, and, probably the worst, hysterical giggling from that psychopathic fucking bitch. How the fuck could she be laughing? Oh right, she was a psychopathic bitch. Having your body restructured hurt. Sure, it hurt a little to use his ultimate shield. After all, he was drawing carbon out of his own body, and that was painful, as cells need carbon to not be drawn into one area instead of being where it's supposed to be. But his body was being completely restructured, in an attempt to fuse it with something that it wasn't supposed to be fused with. When the cat's screams disappeared and he finally just passed out from pain, which was really a testament to how much this hurt, it was a relief to be unconcious.
Greed woke up in somewhere unfamiliar, his body feeling faintly numb. "Wha...What's going on?" He stammered, trying to figure out why he was in this strange place, and where the hell was he anyway? "Oooh, finally!" A woman cheered. "You can see how you look now!" Her blinding clothes made Greed just want close his eyes and look away. "Who the hell are you?"he asked, slowly regaining his sense. "Oh, you can just call me Krista." She replied offhandedly."Now here, take this and see how you look!" She demanded, thrusting a mirror into his hands. He held it up to his face. The first thing he noticed is that his normal ears were gone. In their place were black cat ears on the top of his head. His hair was noticably longer and shinier. His eyes now had a colour gradient from red to green, and his teeth were sharper. Yeah, he thought as he cut his tongue on them. Definitely sharper. Krista snatched the mirror out of his hand and walked out the the doorway before reappearing in front of the glass. "This glass is reinforced. If you do somehow manage to get out, I'll shoot you. Please have a pleasant stay." She called, her voice muffled by the glass. Greed blinked.
Then, finally, the sedatives that Krista had pumped into him wore off. "LET ME GO, YOU %#* !" He yelled, slashing at the glass with his ultimate shield. He had no idea what the glass was reinforced with, but it didn't break. After 15 minutes of this, he sat down. "Ling." He said. "Yes?" Ling responded."Where are we?" He had obviously remained unconcious for longer then Greed. "That Krista bitch turned us into a panther chimera and locked us in here." "WHAT?!" Ling yelled. Greed waited a minute to let Ling calm down, a process that involved a few colourful Xingese explatives. (Greed really had had no idea that the kid knew so many swear words! He would have to get him to teach them to him later.) "Well, I guess that explains why we now have tail." "Wait... I don't think you're joking, are you.""Nope." Greed attempted to "feel his body", using one of the meditation techniques Ling had drilled into his head. To his surprise, it actually worked for once. He could feel the tail that was stemming out of the base of his spine. He moved it so he could actually see it. It was covered in short black fur. The moment he saw it, he sat down and started making a claw with his hand."What are you doing?" Ling asked. "If I'm part cat now, I should have retractable claws." Greed replied. "I'm pretty sure it doesn't activate from you making that hand gesture." Ling noted. Greed ignored him. After the 14th try, claws sprang out of his hand. He decided to try use his shield on them. As it spread across his claws, Greed smiled." Y'know, this might not be all bad."
Told you it would be longer. Review in thanks. We haven't seen Ed yet. He could still very well be a jelly.
