Hey peeps! It's time for that wonderful point in the story when all the OC's get to beat the living crap out of eachother! Just wait till you see this! It's time to RUMBLE! Josh's POV. Free cookies to anyone who can spot the quote from another movie!


We turned to see who it was. A girl about average height, her hair up in some kind of a bun with strands flying out everywhere, and a dragon tattoo on her right arm. She leaned up against a tree, watching me and Raven.

"Yes, I remember now," she mused, flashing a toothy grin. "You're Joshua, right?"

"Um, do I know you? You're kinda cute,"

She blushed. "Um...'kay. You should know me. After all, you're the one who created me,"

"'Created' you?"

"Are you deaf? Yes, do you remember? You tried to ressurrect someone! It failed!"

Suddenly, the memories came back to me, of trying to transmute Ju, of that thing with its lungs hanging out, its chest an open smear, with foggy grey eyes...

"I can see it in your face, you know," she continued, coming closer. "You're the bastard I've been waiting for,"

She lunged at me, her skin glowing red as she reached out to grab me.

"Joshua!" Raven cried, pushing me out of the way.

We bearly missed her as we landed on the ground. Ed stepped into the scene.

"Hey shory, move it already! I've been waiting for this moment for a lifetime and I'm not letting a runt like you stand in my way,"

"Who the hell are you calling a diminutive little pipsqueak so tiny you need an electron microscope to see him you jerk!" Ed shouted as he delivered a hard blow to her head with his automail arm. She hit the ground with a hard thud.

"Ed," I gasped. "Did you just kill her?"

She stumbled back to her feet, giggling. "That hurt me you know," she said (it didn't sound like it though). "I didn't realize you were so sensitive about your height. Are you the Fullmetal Pipsqueak?"

"DON'T. CALL. ME. PIPSQUEAK!" Ed screeched, missing her by inches this time.

"Yup, it's you," she said casually. "You're not the one I want though. The guy I came for is Stumpy over there," she pointed at me.

"'Stumpy?'"

"Wow, you are deaf! Gotta say though, you got a cute girlfriend,"

Both our faces went beet red. "GIRLFRIEND?"

"She's nice, the one with the glasses. You lucky son of a gun,"

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"I'm not his girlfriend,"

"Mm-hm. Right," she said, rolling her eyes.

"And for your information, my name is Raven,"

"Ah, Raven. I see. Funny, with a name like that I figured you'd be a blond," she remarked sarcastically. "Now please, if you don't mind I have some unfinished business to take care of with deaf boy over here, so I'd appreciate it if you move out of my way,"

"No!" Raven protested, standing in front of me. "I won't let you hurt him,"

"I don't like people who get in my way," said the girl. "And I won't hesitate to eliminate you if I have to,"
She backhanded Raven across the face, sending her tumbling on the ground.

"Ooh, lookie here," she picked up Raven's glasses.

"Wait, stop! Those are my glasses! Don't break them!"

The girl smiled sadistically. "Break them?" she snapped the spectacles in two. "Oops. Silly me,"

"No, stop it!"

She dropped them on the ground and started stomping on them. "Worthless pieces of crap. Can't even hold up against little old me,"

Raven stood up, pulling a stack of notecards out of her pocket. "Those glasses were prescription lenses,"

The strange girl looked at her uninterested. "Eh?"

"Prescription. Lenses!" she repeated through gritted teeth, transmuting the notecards into something (I couldn't see what from where I was standing).

"My mother works three jobs to pay for those glasses because of my myopic condition!" Raven snapped. "And you have the nerve to tamper with them? And pass it off as some joke? Call them worthless? You...you...BITCH!"

That was the first time I had ever heard Raven swear. She stabbed the girl square in the chest with a knife (which she transmuted from the notecards), sending the girl flying back and crashing to the ground.
Raven collapsed onto her knees, feeling around for her lenses. When she finally found them, she transmuted them back together, putting them back on. She was panting, darting her eyes around to see what had happened.

"Raven?"
"Yeah?"
"I think you killed her,"

Just then, the girl pulled the knife out of her chest, staggered back onto her feet, and laughed hysterically as the gaping hole in her chest shrank and dissolved away. A little blood trickled out of her mouth, which she wiped with the back of her hand.

"Okay, that is the coolest thing I ever saw!" I said.

"Glad you enjoyed it, you insensitive asshole," she said. "Do you have any idea how much that stings?"

"That...that didn't...that didn't kill you?" Raven stuttered.

"No," she said. "I am a homunculus, and I don't die so easily. It's gonna take a lot more than that to defeat me,"

"A homunculus," Edward said, "So we have another one. And all this time I thought there were only seven deadly sins,"

The homunculus looked annoyed. "Yeah, do you have to rub it in? I'm an extra, but no less important,"

"What really sets me off is how much you remind me of Envy,"

"Shut up!" she snapped. "I'm nothing like that bastard!"

"Really? The way you fight, your posture, hell your whole demeanor reminds me of him,"

"What the hell are you trying to pull? Take back what you said right now!" she screeched, her face becoming bright red.

"How about you make me," Ed taunted, turning his metal arm into a blade.

"Okay," I said to Raven. "I take it back. That is the coolest damn thing ever!"

The two lunged at each other when suddenly-

BLAM!

"What the hell?" Ed said. The homunculus-girl's chest had...exploded. It was amazing.

"Dammit," she mumbled, her ribcage reassembling itself. "I came in too soon. I have to time it right if I want a good impact,"

"What the hell are you?"

"Just a kid with a plan, alchemy boy," she chuckled. Turning to me, she said, "Now it's your turn. This time I'll get the boom-time just right in your face!"

She jumped at me, lunging my way again. Only one thing left to do now.

"Rock alchemy!"

A huge mass of cobblestone sprang forward and slammed right into her gut. "Pretty sweet, huh?"

"JOHSUA!" Raven shrieked.

"Huh? Yeah Rae?"

"The cobblestones...it's a mess!"

"Yeah, so?"

"Clean it up! Clean it up please! It's completely destroyed! You wrecked it!"

"Rae, I'm in the middle of a battle right now, it's not a very good time,"

"Yeah, relax, girlfriend," the homunculus chimed in. "He's doing some pretty nice stuff here. I like the chaos,"

"I am NOT his girlfriend and I do not like chaos!" Raven countered.

"Hey rock boy, I think your girlfriend has OCD," said the homunculus.

"She's not my girlfriend," I said, agitated.

"Whatever. Anyways, you do pretty well for a guy with only one leg. Why don't you get a replacement like chibi-boy over here?"

"Chibi this!" growled Ed, punching her in the face with his right arm.

"Ow," she said flatly. "It hurts when you hit me like that,"
