Greed walked down a back alley in Dublith to get some fresh air from his hideout. His hideout was located far below a bar called the Devil's Nest. One of Greed's men, a man with his hair slicked back, followed him along the roof tops. He was wearing a white shirt, a black undershirt, and white pants. Holding a Katana in one hand, he kept an eye out for Greed. Greed didn't mind too much. He knew the man, Dorchet, was one of his most loyal men. Greed, however, would probably never say it out loud. If anyone ever asked about them, he would say they are his possessions. Yet, in reality, Dorchet, and the others with Greed, are his friends.
Greed smiles as he turns a corner at the other end of the alley. Then he stops. Suddenly, a bright flash of light, a transmutation flash, appears at a distance. He shields his eyes from the glowing flash. As it fades, his eyes set upon a silver haired woman. She had bows tied in her hair and was picking herself up off the ground. She stared in the direction of Greed's eyes as he approached her. "Well now. Not every day does a lovely lady pop out of nowhere," he says to her.
"W-Who are you?" She asked him. Greed grins as he puts his hand out to her.
"The name is Greed," he says as he takes her hand and helps her all the way up. "I got a few questions for you- but not here! Come on!" He says while dragging her along.
Mokou struggles as she is pulled along by this weird man. She could tell that something is weird about this man, but she feels like she can't do anything about it. She feels weak. In her attempts to escape, she tries to fly upwards. Nothing. Not even a sliver of a lift was felt from her. Unable to escape, she was pulled all of the way to the entrance of the Devil's Nest. "W-wait… Where are you taking me?" She weakly asks Greed.
Greed looks at her and smiles. "My place- it's just under this bar," He says in a slightly seductive tone. He had no plans to seduce her, but he wanted to play with her head a bit before he got her there. As he says it that way, she blushes a bit. Satisfied, he pulls her into the bar and yells "Barkeep! Get this lady a drink- on the double!"
After a few drinks and a cigarette Mokou had calmed down and regained her strength. During the drinking and the smokes, she had found a few things out. This place was called Dublith, which existed in the outside world. She also learned that Greed was a huge player and that he had no interest in having her, at least yet. He also had his own gang of people: A bald, old man named Beedual, and a blond, short haired woman named Martel, Dorchet, and Loa. Martel was wearing a tank top and pants. She had a tattoo on her right shoulder. The big buff man with a hammer was Loa. These people seemed to be the most loyal in the gang he had. "So, you want to know where I came from, right?" She asks Greed, who has two women by his side, one in each arm.
"That's right- but not here. Just enjoy your drink," Greed says to Mokou, not wanting to mix pleasure with business. "If you want, Martel could show ya the way," he mentions as he pulls one of the women closer to him.
Mokou nodded. She really didn't want to watch Greed play with the two ladies. She looks up at Martel who was standing nearby. "Would ya?" Mokou simply asks as she lights up another cigarette. Martel nods and then leads her to a bedroom in the underground hideout.
"You can rest here," Martel says as Mokou walks into the room. She was a little bit happy to see that another girl was inside the room. If she joined up with Greed, she would finally have someone to talk to about other things than the things she talked about with the guys. She watches Mokou go to the bed and lay down on it. "I'll come get ya when Greed is ready," Martel tells her. Mokou replies with just a nod and closes her eyes. Martel closes the door, still wondering what kind of person Mokou is.
A few hours passed.
"Wait now… Are you are immortal?" Greed asks Mokou. Greed had his fun and was now in a room with most of his gang. He was sitting in a chair backwards and leaning somewhat forward in it while talking to Mokou.
"Yes, I am. I drank the Hourai Elixir," She simply replies, sitting on a plastic crate in which she had chosen to sit upon.
"Where can I find this Hourai Elixir?" Greed asks her.
"Gensokyo… But… I doubt Eirin would ever give it to you. Why would you want it though? You have a body which is almost immortal anyways," She says while looking over at the bloody stain upon the ground. Greed had revealed his and his companions' secrets as an equal exchange for her secrets. Without having to say anything, Greed had proved he was almost immortal by getting half of his head knocked off by Loa's hammer.
"That's easy. I'm Greed incarnate. Money, Women, Power- I want it all! And immortality is right there at the top!"
He gives his reply, smiling greedily. "Can you tell me how to get to this 'Gensoyko?'" he asks, leaning forward on the chair. Mokou laughs, holding her stomach as she does.
"First off, you wouldn't last ten minutes there- none of you! And second, I don't know. I've never been to the outside world before," she replies while looking down at the ground. "I am surprised though. Yukari should have picked me up by now. She is a bit like you Greed. She doesn't like anything escaping from Gensokyo," she says as she looks back up at the group.
Greed stares at her to judge whether she was lying or not. He then figures if he kept with Mokou, he might be able to get there someday. He moves the chair back into the normal position and then gets up. "I got one more question for you," he states while looking down at her. Mokou looks up at him as to say 'what?' He grins and holds out his hand. "Would you consider joining with us?" He asks her.
Mokou, looking up at Greed, thinks for a moment. "What if I refuse?" she asks. Her eyes catch a glimpse of Martel looking a bit sad.
"Nothing. It's not like I can stop you from leaving. But, where would you go?" Greed asks back.
Mokou flinches at the question. He has a point. She would be lost in a completely foreign world to her. His words sank deep into her. She closes her eyes and thinks for a moment, then opens them back up and takes his hand. "Alright Greed, I'll join you and your team," she replies.
Greed smiles, helping her stand while the others greet her to the gang. Martel greets her very happily.
After that, the next two weeks quickly went by with many things learned. Mokou learned she couldn't use her Phoenix Fire without clapping her hands together. When she found out how she could use her flames, everyone started calling her a Phoenix Chimera as a joke; a joke she took too far by forming flame wings. Her flame wings ended up lighting a lot of stuff on fire in the underground base. Greed wasn't too happy to find one of his favorite jackets burnt to a crisp. She also learned of Greed's plans for after immortality. Mokou really didn't care much for his plans though. She fell asleep half way into hearing it. Martel and she spent a lot of time together as well. Most of the others saw it as 'female bonding' and left it at that. They had become good friends in the shortest time possible. Mokou was happy- happier than she had ever been. She had even been thinking about Greed a bit more. He seemed friendlier lately. Every time she tries to have herself approach him, her thoughts shot back to Keine.
"Why is that?" She asks herself as she stares at the ceiling of her room. She sighs a bit and turns to her side to sleep. As she drifts off to sleep, she wonders what is going on in Gensokyo. She wonders about her friends.
Back in Gensokyo Marisa was at the Hakurei Shrine still pouting over the fact she was the reason Mokou disappeared. She sighs as her tea gets cold.
"Hey! Don't beat yourself up over this Marisa," a Miko says. She has brown hair and was dressed in red. She was wearing a big bow in her hair. Wearing detached sleeves as she holds on to a Gohei in one hand. She waves the wooden wand a little.
"You had no idea that would happen, so stop pouting… you been doing so for almost two weeks now." she tells the witch while patting her shoulder.
"Thanks Reimu," Marisa sighs. "I just wished that I had something to show for it ze," she sulks. She remembers how the doll had burned up into flames. "Even my gift to Alice was destroyed."
Reimu shakes her head and then taps Marisa's head with her Gohei. "This isn't like you. Quit sulking," she tells Marisa while slightly frowning at her.
Marisa looks up at Reimu. She opens her mouth to say something but then shuts it and nods. Reimu smiles at her and goes to check the shrine's donation box for the twentieth time today. As she does, she passes a little girl with large horns sticking out of her long light brown hair. The little girl was holding onto a gourd which was leaking out Sake as it fell to the floor. Reimu shook her head and set the Sake gourd upright. "Jeez Suika," Reimu quietly says as she heads toward the donation box. Checking inside, she finds it empty like the last nineteen times she had looked. Sighing at the sight of it, she turns to look toward the human village.
In the human village, a blue haired woman with a big chest was wearing a weird hat and a long blue dress. She was teaching a group of children. Among those children was a blue haired child. The child had ice wings and was in a blue and white dress. She was doodling in her notebook as the teacher asked the children in the class to answer some problems on the board. "Hmmm… Cirno… Why don't you try?" The teacher asked the blue haired girl.
"OKAY!" Cirno exclaims as she hops up out of her seat and then gets to the board. She writes the answers on the board and quickly returns to her seat. "Finished Miss Kenie," she says proudly.
Kenie checks the problems and frowns. "These are all wrong!" She said while looking at the ice fairy. Cirno looks shocked as Keine fixes the problems. As Kenie corrects the problems, she starts to think about her friend Mokou. Even though Cirno protests that she is right, she sighs as Kenie finishes the corrections.
"I think it's time for a break! Recess everyone!" Kenie exclaims with a smile. She was hiding her feelings from the rest of the class.
Back in Dublith, Greed, Mokou, and others had found a person in armor walking around Dublith, that was supposed to be empty. This was Greed's next shot at immortality. Mokou blew out a smoke ring while waiting on the group who were going to bring 'it' in. She was told to put the cigarette out, but she didn't listen to the small fry of the gang. Then, Loa and Dorchet knocked the door open, dragging the suit of armor into the room.
"Where's Martel?" Mokou asks of her friend.
"In here," Martel replies as she bangs on the chest of the armor.
"Hey! Don't do that!" The armor says, shocking Mokou a bit. The armor was then set up and tied with chains so he couldn't escape. Martel then popped her head up, knocking off the helmet.
"Whoa, he is empty," Mokou describes as she looks inside. Martel slides back in.
"I have a name you know! It's Alphonse!" The armor replies to Mokou.
"This is so cool! An Armor Youkai! No one at home will ever believe this," Mokou grins as she picks up the helmet and puts it back on Al.
After a bit of talking, Al had started asking what kind of Chimera everyone was. Martel was part snake, Loa was fused with an Ox, and they said Dorchet lifts his leg when he pees. All of them laughed at that while Dorchet complained. Then Al turned the conversation to Mokou.
"And what are you?" He asks her. Mokou smiles and gets up.
"I'm part Phoenix," she says to the armor boy.
"That's impossible! There is no such thing as Phoenixes," he tells her.
"Then watch," she says as she claps her hands together, making her hands light up into flames.
"That's just alchemy," he replies in disbelief.
"Then tell me how am I not in pain. Or, why aren't my hands burning up?" She asks Al. He fell silent for a bit.
"You see? Nothing is impossible," Greed says as he enters the room while heading over to Alphonse. He picks up Al's head and says "wow, you really are empty inside." Smacking the head down onto Al's body, Greed goes to introduce himself. "The name's Greed. Lets be friends," he says with a smile.
Thanks for reading n,n Please read and Review. [For DA readers, please comment.]
Also, I think if Mokou and Roy Mustang were to fight… Mokou would win. She deserves the title of Flame Alchemist more than him… XDDD she isn't as useless in the rain either..
