Metallic Hearts [FullMetal Alchemist Part Thirty-Three: Al/Lita, Captured
Law ran at Al with the large hammer he had brought with him and Al ducked. p
Lita: "What it Al." Dorochet came out from under the table and unsheathed his katana, attacking you with it. He suddenly whipped around and took Al's head off. "Every frickin time we get into a fight Al! You lose your head!" p
Al: "It's not my fault!" Marta jumped onto Al's shoulders. p
Marta: "Mind if I cut in." And she jumped into Al's armor. "It's a nice place you got here." p
Al: "Ew, gross! This is so creepy. Lita, get her out!" p
You: "I've kinda got my hands full, Al!" You jumped over Law's hammer. p
Al: "Just because you're inside me doesn't mean you can control me. I'm still stronger than you." p
Marta: "Don't worry, I don't expect to match your strength, I just want to slow your moves a little bit." p
Law: "And that's my cue." Al went to punch him in the side but he grabbed onto Al's arm and plowed him into the ground. "You okay, Marta?" p
Marta: "Just a little headache." p
Dorochet: "Are you going to be complicated too?" You smiled. p
You: "Of course." Greed picked Ed up by the collar. p
Greed: "It would be a pain in the ass if you followed us. So maybe I should break one of your legs off, huh?" Greed looked over to see Lyra and Dante looking at him through the window. "Let's go." He dropped Ed and the two walked away. p
Ed: "No, wait!" After catching his breath he began to run down the streets asking people if they had seen Greed. p
Izume: "Okay, where are they?" p
Dante: "Lita and Alphonse were kidnapped shortly after coming to my estate. And Edward has gone after the kidnappers I'm afraid." p
Izume: "And you just let them go all alone?" p
Dante: "The kidnappers dropped this in my garden." p
Izume: 'The Devil's Nest." It was a cigarette holder. p
Dante: "It's a pub on the outskirts of town." p
Izume: "I hope you don't have anything to do with this." p
Dante: "If I did, do you think I would have had them taken from here? Outside this forest, in the real world, how can you expect to protect them? The breeze of life is surrounded by malice and effects everything it touches." p
Izume: "Not everyone sees the world as you do, from this secluded hilltop. Some of us live in it." p
Dante: "As long as they seek the Philosopher's Stone they're lives will be lined with destruction and death. Why haven't you stopped them?" p
Izume: "I have my own beliefs, but they have to find their own answers inside themselves. No matter what that answer is. It'll be different from the one you gave me. And that will be enough." p
Dante: "So, I see you still disagree with me." p
Izume: "And I always will. We're different, you and I. In our lives and our Alchemy." p
Dante: "You're going after them?" p
Izume: "Yes." p
Dante: "Very well then, Izume." And she walked away. "I doubt I'll ever see you again."
In The Basement Of The Devil's Nest
You growled as you sat in the corner, you were handcuffed, and shackled to the wall; Al was on the opposite side of the basement chained together. p
Marta: "Sorry about this. I know how creepy this has to be, but I'm hear to watch you so you'll have to bear with me a while." p
Al: "It's play, I'm already used to it. Just be careful about my blood seal okay? If you accidentally touch it I could die. Hey, how did you guys get to be Chimera's anyway?" You looked over at Dorochet. p
Dorochet: "Well, all of us were serving in the military. We were stationed in the east on assignments. Some were injured, others were. . .well. . . let's just say we weren't useful anymore. They took us somewhere, for experiments." p
You: "Laboratory Five." p
Marta: "That's right. Greed saved us from that damn place and offered all of us jobs, working for him if we wanted." p
Al: "Greed?" p
Dorochet: "He took us out of the cages and offered us something we could all call home." p
Greed: "That's right, guys. You see this place is hand crafted for our cause. Where outsiders like us can hide out for a while." p
You: "Tucker. Why are you here?" p
Tucker: "You must understand I'm not here by choice, I promise." p
Bido: "If something doesn't go as planned, he's the only one that can cure us Chimera's." Greed walked forward and took off Al's head. p
Greed: "Well, I'll be damned. Just like you said, Doctor Tucker. He really is empty." p
You: "Doesn't take a doctor to tell you that. Just kick him, he's hollow." p
Greed: "And it's a pleasure to meet you too, honey. You can call me Greed." p
You: "I'll call you whatever the hell I want." You noticed the Ouroborus tattoo on his left hand. "So, you're friends with Envy, Lust, Gluttony and Wrath. And you're Greed. Seven deadly sins, so where's Pride and Sloth?" p
Greed: "They're out there. You're pretty damn smart." p
You: "I didn't pass the Alchemy Exam for nothing." p
Greed: "And to your second statement, I wouldn't say friends exactly. More like sworn enemies, if you want to get down to it. Well, Lita, that is your name, right." p
You: "Yes. . . I see what you want." Greed stared at you. "You want to figure out how to attach a soul to an object." His eyes went wide. p
Greed: "How'd did you?" p
You: "You're name is Greed. I figured by your name that is what you wanted. Lust is a very wanted woman, Envy is very Envious of Ed, Gluttony eats everything, and Wrath he's very violent. You want eternal life, because you're greedy. And you keep staring at Al, and took off his head. To make sure that the blood seal was truly there." Greed burst out laughing. p
Greed: "The girl is right. And that is why I brought you here. Because you're going to help me. If you don't tell me how that soul is bound to that armor, I'll break him apart to find out." p
You: "I won't help you. Do what you will; you won't be able to carry the job you say you can out." p
Greed: "Oh, and why's that?" p
You: "Because, you'll be dead before you hit the floor." You transmuted the ground into a giant stone fist that hit him right in the gut. He immediately broke the stone and grabbed the back of your head and slammed your head into the ground, you felt your jaw break and you almost cried out. p
Greed: "Now, that was silly." He patted the back of your head. "I like a woman with guts. But did you honestly think it would be that easy? If you really want to hurt me, you'd have to do something like. . ." Law rammed his hammer through Greed head, taking it off. p
Al: "What did you do that for? I thought he was your friend." p
You: "He's a Homunculus, Al, he's gonna come back to life." You made sure not to move your jaw when speaking, not saying that you could if you wanted. p
Greed: "See, I have quite a shell too, Al. Hey, bud, a little cleaner next time, eh?" p
Law: "Yes, sir. I'm sorry." p
Greed: "I know what you're thinking. If I have this body, then why do I want Al's body?" Suddenly the wall transmuted into a door and it was pushed open, Izume walked through. p
Izume: "Sorry to interrupt you, gentlemen." p
Greed: "I'm sorry, who the hell are you?" p
Izume: "Pissed off!"
With Ed
Armstrong: "Edward Elric? You looking for them aren't you?" p
Ed: "Have you been following me? I bet you saw Lita get kidnapped and just sat there." p
Armstrong: "We to are following these people. They have your brother too." p
Ed: "I know that! Al can take care of himself! He's in that armor, Lita's still flesh, she can get hurt, and they can torture her." p
Armstrong: "Lita's safety is not our prime concern right now, Edward." p
Ed: "Yeah, I bet it's not!" p
Armstrong: "The military is ready to infiltrate the Chimera's sanctuary. We believe Lita and Al are there with them." p
Ed: "Where is it? Tell me!" p
Armstrong: "A pub called The Devil's Nest." Izume took out the guys with great ease. p
Greed: "Hey, hey. Nice manners, I can see where the girl learned it from." p
Izume: "Are you the one that's in charge here? Thank for taking care of them for a while. But I'll be taking them home now." p
Greed: "I'm afraid that's not true." p
Izume: "I see." Izume punched him in the face. p
Greed: "Oh, you're just full of surprises. Tell me, did you break three fingers or four?" p
Izume: "That's a pretty weird body you've got there." p
Greed: "I suppose. I never did bruise very easily." p
Izume: "Oh? Then I'll just have to start trying harder then." p
You: "Izume, is Ed okay?" p
Izume: "I should be asking you that. Apparently you can't even run a simple errand for me. You're in for a long lecture later so you better get ready." p
You: "Yes, and apparently I went with this man willingly?" Izume transmuted the ground to wrap around Greed. p
Izume: "Not even gonna try?" p
Greed: "I have no intentions of fighting a woman. Alls I want is the secret to his Transmutation, simple as that." p
Izume: "And if you get it?" p
Greed: "Well, then I'll have the secret to eternal life and the world will be on a silver platter." p
Izume: "This is getting us no where." She transmuted a stone fist to slam into his face, again, he was unharmed. p
Greed: "Don't look so surprised. I told you before I don't bruise easily. Don't you listen?" The Chimera's had finally gotten back up and they were surrounded. Sig stepped forward. p
Izume: "Honey, no." p
Sig: "Yes, I've had my fill of doing nothing." p
Izume: "It's just I. . . I can't watch as more babies are taken from me. I can't." p
Sig: "I know." p
Greed: "Give me a break. Are you still up for more?" Sig ran forward and grabbed two of the guys by the head as Izume ran between them and began to fight Greed. She transmuted the ground into a sword, but couldn't finish her attack as she began to throw up blood. "Oh? I guess you've been pushing yourself a little hard there. Well, then, are we done playing games now? This sort of business isn't my style, but if you don't cooperate I wont have a choice." He picked up the sword and pointed it towards you. p
Ed: "Keep your filthy hands away from her." p
Solider: "Hurry! Squad five block the rear exit. Squad seven, keep the area around the bar. The rest of you come with me." p
Greed: "Now it's the older brother huh? Looks like everyone's here." p
Ed: "Tucker?" p
Tucker: "Edward." p
Ed: "You too? You messed up, first you take her, and then you threaten to kill her?" p
Greed: "Come on, alls you have to do is tell me how to transmute a soul to an object." p
Ed: "Shut up! Put the sword down and them go, now!" p
Al: "Careful, he's a Homunculus, like the others." p
Greed: "Hey, listen I have a hostage here. Come on! Isn't anybody paying attention here? Hello?" Both Izume and Ed both transmuted the ground to create spikes around Greed. He broke through them instantly. "You just don't get it. I told you both I am the ultimate shield." Izume began throwing up again and Sig ran to her. The Chimeras began gathering around again when Greed stopped them. "Let's do this man to man." p
Ed: "Keep her safe for me, okay?" p
Sig: "Yeah." p
Greed: "Hope you're ready for me to fight back this time." p
Ed: "I'm always ready when I'm pissed." You rolled you're eyes as the two men fought, oh this was going to solve everything. p
Greed: "You know you're being completely dense here." p
Ed: "How's that?" p
Greed: "You have so diligently pursued your goals, why can you not be understanding with someone like me who just wants to pursue his own." p
Ed: "Our goals are completely different from yours!" p
Greed: "You think so? Homunculus or human, we're all really the same, now wouldn't you say? We all live and chase after our own goals, to hell with everyone else." p
Ed: "Not us!" p
Greed: "Oh, come on. You're looking for the Philosopher's Stone, right?" p
Ed: "I don't care about the Philosopher's Stone. All I care about is getting the bodies of the ones I love back." p
Greed: "But they're far better off staying in the bodies they have now." p
Ed: "What the hell do you know? Not everyone's like you! I didn't come here to negotiate. If all of you Homunculus are mistakes created by Alchemists, the results of their sins. Well, then an Alchemist should be responsible for correcting those mistakes., like right now." p
Greed:" Oh, I didn't want to show you this, since it could get ugly, but since you're getting so serious on me." He pulled off his coat. "Then I'll get serious too. This is my real form." And his entire body turned black. Ed slammed him into the concrete. "Didn't even hurt. My bodies structure and composition are completely unaltered." p
Ed: "Since you are the ultimate shield." p
Greed: "You've never killed anyone before have you?" p
Ed: "What's that got to do with anything?" p
Greed: "You don't have the guts to kill. You'll never beat me like that and you'll never beat the other Homunculi either. So I'll help you find your guts now. By showing you some of your own." p
Man: "Greed! The military is here!" He was then shot." p
Greed:" Well, then, those bastards went and ruined our fight." p
Dorochet: "Well, boss, don't start worrying or anything." p
Greed: "No need to worry, theres no one in the military who can do us any harm." The wall beside you was blown up and Kimbley walked in. "Kimbley?" Archer was standing behind him with a bag in his hand. "Damn, he betrayed me." Law blew up the opposite wall. p
You: "I got it." p
Greed: "What the hell can you do?" p
You: "You're not the only one here with powers, Greed." Your eyes glowed silver and Archer and Kimbley flew back into the wall. Dorochet ran to you and cut the shackles off the wall, and threw you onto his shoulder, three soldiers surrounded Ed so he couldn't follow you guys as they ran off.
