In no way own FMA or BBI, like I've said before.
Warning: Blood, some language, and good ol' character death. And Royai.

"Finally come to terms with reality, hmm?" Roy's captor whispered to him, malice thick in her voice.
The Colonel bit his lip, wincing at every gunshot. He'd been in worse, right?
…Right?
Mustang's heart tightened as the sound of gunshots stopped. He cursed under his breath, while he captor looked towards where the gunshots had been.
Then, she gave a vicious smile.
"Looks like Pride finished the job," she purred, stroking the Colonel's black hair.
"I should follow hi-"her sentence was cut short by a gunshot, directly behind them. Roy could feel blood on him (was it his?), before his Homunculi captor collapsed.
Blinking wildly, he looked back, too see the golden-haired Lieutenant, gun in hand.
"You looked like you needed help," she said bluntly, looking at the (dead?) Homunculi on the floor.
"Yeah," he began, "Thanks."
There was only silence, as if no one was in the warehouse. Until the creature at their feet groaned, and twitched.
Roy didn't waste any time considering it.
"We should leave. Now." He said, turning towards where they had entered. However, something stopped him.
Someone was standing by the deep gash in the warehouse's side, just standing. His hair was a all-to-familiar shade of gold, and strange, red markings covered him.
The Colonel froze. Riza, however, stepped forward.
"Its-"
She'd never get a chance to finish her sentence, for the recently killed Homunculi had risen, and run one of her long, lance-like fingernails through the Lieutenant's chest.
Roy looked on in horror as the Homunculi withdrawed her fingernail. Riza slumped to the ground, motionless. The Colonel rushed to her side, nearly slipping on the puddle of blood around her.
He caught the near-dead Riza, and pulled her closer to him.
"Damnit Riza," he said, voice shaking, "You're not suppose to die before me!"
Riza's murder only stood, cleaning the blood off her hands.
"Well, Colonel, I should give you a proper introduction," She began, "I am Lust. Do you know why I'm telling you this?"
The Colonel's eyes remained on Riza's lifeless form. There was silence, and Lust's smile turned to a scowl.
"No," he said finally, "And it doesn't really matter." At this, he stood, eyes on the floor. In his hand, a locket, which had been in Riza's possession.
The homunculus, for once, began to panic. It had to be that locket. But where had he gotten it?
The Flame Alchemist stood in the darkness, eyes on the floor. Black hair hung over his face, and his clothes were soaked with blood. He raised his hand, approaching Riza's murderer.
Lust took a step back, but the Colonel was already close enough. The locket's deadly hold was already on her when the Colonel looked up at her, eyes blazing.
"Your turn." He said, and with that, snapped his fingers.
The Homunculus had to chance to react as the alchemic flames consumed her. The locket was still in Roy's hands by the time Lust was gone. Forever.
Once the flames had died down, he slowly walked to Riza. The Colonel hung his head, before dropping to his knees. He put his hands to the ground, looking straight down into the puddle of blood he kneeled in.
"It's raining," he said quietly, before letting the tears fall freely.
To measure the time that the Colonel spent in this position, beside the woman he loved, crying, would be impossible. But, it was a good, long time before he noticed the other Homunculus in the corner.
Quickly, Roy got to his feet, ready to fight.
"We're even." Was all Pride said, before leaving.
And he left Roy Mustang alone, the last living creature in this sight of murder.
