Envious thoughts?
Spoilers for those who haven't finished the Anime
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Envy laughed. He had made a deal with Eckhart; if she didn't come back alive, he got off the execution line. However, if she did come back he would be the first to go. Eckhart had not come back so the guards let Envy go; as soon as he was outside, he turned into his 'cute' form and set off to find Ed and Al. Ed was who Envy was really after, for Ed was just like Hohenheim of Light, their father. Envy stopped in front of Gracia's flower shop, he turned into Noah. Envy saw Hughes flirting with Gracia.
"Mr. Hughes? Where are the Elrics?" Envy asked sweetly.
"Hey Noah, didn't they tell you?" Hughes asked inconspicuously pulling out his pocketknife. The real Noah had come in the shop yesterday. "You know, you asked me that yesterday." Hughes said pulling the knife on Envy. He backflipped and kicked the knife out of Hughes' hand.
"You do know what happens if you die on this side don't you Hughes?" Envy asked kicking Hughes in the stomach. Envy was an expert at fighting, so was Hughes. Hughes pulled out his pistol firing three shots. Each shot showered plaster on Envy. When Hughes fired the fourth shot, it hit Envy in the shoulder. Hughes laughed as Envy turned back into his 'cute' form.
"Gotcha!" Hughes said putting his gun down, he was surprised when Envy laughed.
"Finally, I'm human." Envy said holding his gushing shoulder. He then kicked the gun out of Hughes' hand. It flipped a couple of times then Envy caught it. He turned into Riza gaining skill in gunfire. Hughes attempted to take cover as Envy, with perfect aim, shot hitting Hughes in the chest. Hughes ducked behind a pillar holding where the bullet had punctured. He whipped out his KF7 soviet but Envy had already escaped, off to find Noah. Noah was waiting in line for a small bowl of food. Envy quickly turned into Hughes.
"Hello Sergeant Hughes!" Noah said not suspecting the man standing in front of her actually being the one that was on the execution line, days ago.
"Ah, Noah. Do you remember what I told you about the Elrics yesterday?"
"Why, yes. You told me that they went to the other side thanks to Marco. Don't you remember?" Noah stated rather loudly. A man gasped and pointed at Envy.
"Hey! Hughes I just saw you at Gracia's and you were bleeding from your chest not your shoulder. Wait, you're that Envy guy aren't you?" Envy jumped up onto an awning and bounced up onto a roof. He then turned into his 'cute' form and looked down on the city.
"Thanks, Noah." Envy ran jumping from building to building. He paused on a small building. "If I'm human, why can I still shape shift?" Envy asked himself out loud.
"How can Alchemists do what they do and be human?" A familiar voice asked from the shadows.
"Sloth?"
"It's Trisha. I'll help you and one other former Homunculus get back. If you let me get back and see my boys." The Elrics long lost mother said emerging from the shadows.
"Well Lust is happy here, Wrath and Gluttony are manning the gate, Pride is into movie making that leaves… Greed. Aw, man I hate Greed! Ah, what the heck, yeah." Envy said counting the Homunculus on his fingers. Greed appeared from the shadows.
"Well, well, well look who hasn't changed at all."
"Greed, you haven't improved on those smart remarks have you?" Envy asked remembering their little meeting on Jack Island.
Greed and his crew land on Jack Island,
"Let's get going."
"Well hello there, Ultimate Shield." Stated Envy. Greed was known as the Ultimate Shield because he could endure maximum pain the only way to defeat him is: fight to kill.
"Hello yourself there Ultimate… oh wait you like to be called abomination don't you?" Greed asked smoothly, Envy smirked.
"You were sealed in a prison for more than a century and you still haven't learned your lesson, Greed?"
"Yes forgive me if my name calling has gotten a little stale it's been hard to keep my jokes current in a cell." Greed said preparing himself.
Trisha pulled out the glowing pink stone and a knife.
"I may not know Alchemy but I studied how to make the circle. Envy put your hand on your wound. Greed hold out your hands." Trisha put the stone in the middle and sliced both Greed and her hands. "On the count of three put your hands on the circle. One, two, three." A yellow light flashed up from the rooftop then disappeared.
------
"Where is my house?" Trisha asked Greed and Envy.
"Oh, Ed burned it down. He's probably staying at the Rockbell home." Envy answered. The three walked for a while then Trisha turned around.
"I've been wondering. Why is there an envy and greed sin aren't they the same thing?"
"I want everything." Greed answered pointing to himself.
"And I just want what he has." Envy said sweetly. The three reached the house; they walked up on the porch and looked in the window. It was dinnertime and Ed and Al were facing the window. Trisha looked in, she immediately knew Ed from Al. One, Ed was shoveling food into his mouth. Two, Ed looked just like his father. Trisha turned around and handed Greed a gun.
"Shoot me."
"What! Why?"
"I think them seeing me, and I seeing them would be too much to bear."
"Okay." Greed said holding the gun at arm's length.
Warning: Sad part ahead
"Wait, Greed." Envy said smirking. He knocked on the glass, and then pushed Trisha under the porch light. Ed, Al, Wrath, Winry, and Pinako looked up their mouths hanging open at the sight of Trisha on their porch. Envy took the gun from Greed and stood to where they could not be seen. Trisha turned and shook her hands in front of her motioning 'no.' Envy shot twice hitting Trisha between the eyes. She fell backwards with a thud, a pool of blood forming around her. Envy and Greed were gone by the time Ed, Al, Wrath, and Pinako were outside. Winry couldn't stand to see the sight. Both brothers ran to their mother.
"My boys…" Trisha managed to stutter before she dissipated. She had died twice this time leaving both worlds. Al began to cry, Ed stiffened.
"Twice! Twice I had to see my own mother die. When I find them, the ones who did this, I will make 'em pay!" Wrath walked around the porch and saw something gleaming in the moonlight, sunglasses.
"Hey, Ed! Can you make buildings?"
------
"Aw, man!" Greed said as Envy and he walked down the road.
"What?"
"My sunglasses, I dropped 'em." Greed said feeling his pockets.
"Too bad." Envy said angrily.
"Aw, come on, Envy. Hey, look a Sunglasses Hut! Wow, that's new." Greed pleaded making his way toward the shop.
