The village was now full of soldiers. A large military vehicle stopped and more soldiers piled out. Riza looked at the situation. No more citizens were to be seen, probably all of them were hiding amoungs their homes and businesses, not wanting to get in the room of Amestries powerful military.
Riza walk to a sergeant standing guard, they saluted one another. "Ma'am the area has been secured and the homunculus is surounded, as you are the officer incharge of this project we have been waiting for your orders"
Colonel Hawkeye responded coldly. "I want to see it. Bring me to the homunculus." The sergeant swallowed, believing he might have angered her. "Yes ma'am, this way please." Riza wanted to see this beast, see if it was the one that attacked Roy. The monsters they were, they had taken so many lifes and had manipulated the goverment for decades, they deserved no mercy from her or the military. But as they walked a familiar face ran up to them. "Coporal Mustang, it's been a while." Roy stopped and caught his breath. "It has... hasn't it... phew... I'm getting old", He laughed. Riza pushed a few strangs of hair from her face. "So, have you seen it, the homunculus?" Roy responded with a grin. "Yes Colonel Hawkeye and I don't think we have alot to worry about from it." Riza arched a brow at her former lover, in recent years they had split apart but still remained friends. They stayed in touched by calling each other after the day's work was done, often talking for hours.
They finally arrived at the allyway in which the beast was. It had been blocked off from all sides and was surrounded by armed soldiers. The 3 soldiers saluted the others as they crossed the ropes and walk within the ally. Riza pulled out her revolver expecting a ferocious creature ready to attack but to her surprise all she saw was a obese man, eyes white and gleamed over (an obvious sign it was uncouncious), curled up in a ball breathing quite heavily. This was a homunculus? She expected much more. She walked closer, still keeping her distance and notice a large piece of its left leg was gone, but she had been told they could regenerate!? This was quite odd.
"So tell me the situation." She asked, or more comanded of a nearby officer. "Well ma'am, we found the creature like this. I assured you no one has gone too close as we were told this one is known as "the eater of anything" we don't need someone getting too close and possibly getting bitten. Were just waiting for your evaluation and for you to give the orders to what were to do with it"
She nodded and got down to the homunculus' level, still keeping her distance. Suddenly the creature jolted and whimpered. It had regain couciousness. She almost fell back and pointed her gun directly at it.
The homunculus awoke to the scent of countless humans, he looked infront of him. A soldier, a female one was pointing a weapon at him. He felt too ill to do anything about it but for the first time since his youth he was afraid, afraid of a human, afraid of what they were going to do with him. He shook and wimpered hoping they would see him as being harmless and wouldn't harm him. If his leg didn't come back, maybe he couldn't heal anymore, this meant if they hurt him he would die. He didn't want to die. He wanted Lust, why she have to die? He was sure he would join her soon.
Riza watch him whimpering and shaking, it was very apparent he was afraid of them. Her anger turned into pity. Maybe she shouldn't have jumped to conclusion that this was indeed a monster. Homunculi, by definition, were just artificial humans. It is possible it was being manipulated and it really wasn't dangerous, then again it also was possible it was faking the state it was in in order to attack them while their garde was down. This was a tough dicision.
"Well ma'am?" The officer ask. Riza replied. "I want this homunculus brought to the military infirmary and to be treated immidiately for its injuries. If it attacks, destroy it without hesitation"
The officer was surprise; She wanted to bring it to a HUMAN hospital for treatment but as he was welled trained he did as he was told. "Yes ma'am"
Several soldiers came inside the allyway, they put on latex gloves just incase the homunculus was carrying some desease and they layed down a very large stretcher. It took 8 soldiers but they manage to lift it and put it on the stretcher and wheeled it to one of their vehicle.Gluttony began to panic as the humans tried to lift him up. "What were they doing? Where were they bringing him?" He said nothing and did not move. He couldn't kill and eat this many humans, especially not while he could barely move at all, so there wasn't any use in trying to feed himself. All he could do was sit and wait til they brought him... wherever they were going to. As they placed him into a car of some sort the thought came to his mind. "If they want to kill me why don't they just do it already?" Was it really possible that humans, after all, were nice?
