Kazuki stopped and waited to catch his breath. It felt like he had just ran a world marathon or something. He saw Tokiko and Captain Bravo waiting for him ahead, he ran again to catch up with them, unaware of the unknown homunculus lurking in the shadows.
Elsewhere, Chouno "Papillon" Koushaku activated the "Homunculus creation device; he had no evil acronym for it so this was the best thing he could come up with. The lab went dark; yet another power failure had occurred. "Dammit! Why won't it work!? I'm a genius and yet my inventions are all corruptions." There was an explosion and Chouno quickly looked toward the direction it came from, there was smoke everywhere and soon a figure emerged. It was Chounos great grandfather "Grand Papillon" Chouno bowed immediately "forgive me Papillon-Sama, I just…" Chouno was cut short by a knife in the gut. "Aw shaddup you bastard, quit whining so much." There was a flash and "Great Papillon" turned into Kazuki. The mysterious shape shifter was just about to make his escape, but was interrupted by a slash to his shoulder. It was Kazuki, Tokiko, and Captain Bravo who arrived at the scene, all prepared to attack.
The shape shifter clutched his shoulder in pain, then transformed back into his normal self. The mysterious boy had long green hair, dark eyes, and was wearing a tank top and a skirt. On his leg the, the alchemic warriors noticed a snake devouring it's tail and in the middle was a star. It was an ouroborus tattoo. "Damn…I underestimated you three it seems, at first I thought some ordinary lame-ass alchemists like that shrimp Edward and his tin-can brother Alphonse. It seems you have some potential." Kazuki couldn't take it anymore "Busou Renkin!" there was a flash of light and Kazuki had an alchemic lance in his hand ready to fight the unknown shape shifter. He scowled "I don't know who you are, or rather what you are, or what you have against Chouno-Kun but you had better explain your motives. NOW!" There was a pause, then followed by a long yawn. The shape shifter rolled his eyes and replied lazily "are we eager to die today or what? Sheesh, you're just like the shrimp, one death wish after another."
Tokiko joined in by slashing at the shape shifter with her Busou Renkin Valkyrie Skirt, the shape shifter countered the attack by grabbing a hold of two of the sword like weapons and snapping them in half. Four more struck at him, he kicked two of them out of the way and ripped the other two off the Valkyrie Skirt. There was a scream of pain and Tokiko fell to her knees. "Now, if you're done with the recklessness, perhaps I can introduce myself." He took a bow and spoke coldly and quietly "I am Envy."
There was another flash of light and Envy turned into Papillon, and from Papillon to Captain Bravo, then shape shifted again into one of his fellow comrades Wrath. He clapped his hands together and a spike, followed by many other spikes shot up out of the ground and surrounded Tokiko, Kazuki, and Captain Bravo. "Aheheha, I'll be taking butterfly boy now. See you in hell suckers!" And with that the shape shifting homunculus Envy vanished with the kidnapped Chouno Koushaku, leaving the three alchemic warriors behind to fend for themselves.
