Gaining Back My Pride:

Pride and Envy sat on a building about 2 blocks from the Pub they were supposed to be watching.

"I'm going in." Pride said standing up. Envy looked up at him and nodded.

"I'll be in a soon as I see him." He said. Pride said nothing to that and instead jumped off the building. Envy smirked and jumped from building to building until he came to one that was close enough to the Pub. He watched Pride enter and then sat back and waited.

Pride sat on a stool at the bar, getting mildly pissed. A guy had come up out of the blue and sarted flirting with him, calling him the cutest girl he'd ever seen. Pride could only tolerate so much, he was pride after all. Every time the man talked he grew steadily angrier.

"You have such a flat chest, but I guess if you're good in bed then that'll make up for it." Oh that was it Pride's...Pride had just been shattered.

"I'M A GUY YOU NINKOMPOOP!" He yelled standing up violently and throwing the stool he was on back, hard against the counter. The guy stared and then started laughing.

"That's a good one honey." He said between laughs. Pride couldn't take this, he punched the guy half way across the room. Then followed up with a kick in the gut, Pride was sure he'd caused internal bleeding.

"I'm. A. Guy." He said between barred teeth. The guy nodded weakly and stood walking away. Pride breathed out and looked around. No sign of Envy so the target wasn't here yet. Damn. Pride needed to blow off some steam. Just then he was tapped on the shoulder. He didn't even bother to turn around and instead opted to just stand there and take the verbal abbuse, as much as he wanted to kill someone right now he had to save his energy for the target.

"Excuse me, you left a good mess on the floor I think you should clean it up." Pride swivelled around and his eyes met black ones which widened considerably.

Roy Mustang watched the specticle from where he was standing. He had yet to see the boy who was getting confused as a women's face. After the boy puched the guy across the room and then kicked him. Roy decided that the blood on the floor was going to be cleaned up by someone and he thought that someone should be the one who caused it. So he stood and walked over to the boy, his underlings following not to far behind.

"Excuse me, you left a good mess on the floor I think you should clean it up." He said. The boy turned around and his eyes met Roy's. The mans ebony orbs widened and he took a step back.

"You got something you wantta say to me?" The boy asked. He started looking Roy up and down and smirked. "Ha, so you're the new Fuhrer, shoulda guessed, Envy said it was some jackass who had killed the first Fuhrer, Pride. But then he said that I was made from the body of the boy the jackass wanted (It took me five minutes to write this line, I hate the EdxRoy Pairing so much that I can hardly write anything related to it). I guess you're the Jackass he was talking about." The boy said smirking. Roy withdrew his hands and was about to click this boy into oblivion when Hawkeye stopped him by pointing a gun to the boy's head. He was unfazed, the unfocused gold eyes looked straight past Hawkeye and at Roy. "Envy also said that if I was ever to run into this shithead called Roy, I had to relay a message for him." Roy stood silently waiting for Hawkeye to pull the trigger, but she didn't, she was waiting. The boys smirk faded and was replaced with one of malice and hate, something Ed never showed. "Ed was alway's going to be mine, and now Pride is aswell, you can go play your silly little games with the trigger-happy Hawkeye. That's what he-" Pride was cut short by Hawkeye pulling the trigger. Pride's face contorted into pain as the force from the bullet pushed him backwards. Blood trickled down his face as his body fell to the floor limp as a fish. Soon after a sizzling sound was heard and he stood up again, fully healed, though the blood still remained on his face. Roy looked at him all over, he had red markings on him, and on his shoulder was the ourobouros (Sp?). He wasn't Ed, just a homunculus that was created from him, but who would do it. Roy pushed past Riza and pushed Pride up against the wall.

"Who made You!" He demanded. Pride smirked. Roy pulled him back and slammed him against the wall. He hardly flinched, infact he didn't.

"And why should I tell you that?" Pride asked his smirk making his words sound milliceous(Sp?).

"Because I can scorch you right here and turn you into cinders." Roy answered, grinding his teeth together. Pride's smirk widened and he started laughing.

"You think that'll stop me? Unlike Envy I like pain, I am Pride after all, I can't show weakness. But if you insist." Pride just hung there. Roy pulled out his hand and was about to click when a hand was placed on his.

"Please sir, there are innocent people in here." Riza said. Roy lowered his hand and instead took Riza's gun. He put it to Pride's head and fired multiple shots.

Envy was waiting outside the Pub, unnaware of what was going on inside. He was waiting silently, watching for their prey. Then he heard a gun being fired. He was off the roof in a jiffy and set off to the pub, knowing that if Pride was the one being fired at then it wouldn't be a problem, but, the aftermath could be a bit devastating. Then he heard multiple shots and knew that whoever was shooting was shooting at Pride, so he started running. In a few seconds he was in the bar and looking around frantically. His eyes stopped on a bloody corpse of Pride with seven bullet holes in his head and standing over him was...(I hate those dots) Mustang. Envy's eyes flashed dangerously and he thought he was going to loose all self control, that was his Pride, his and his alone. He was once his Edward too, but now he was his Pride and nothing, not Mustang and not any other living, or non-living, human was going to get him.

Envy stopped walking toward Mustang when Pride stood up. The newest sin looked at Mustang, his eyes held emotion for a split second and it was anger. He was no good with pain, like Envy, and no matter how much he said he liked it he didn't, but he didn't show it. He looked at Mustang dead in the eye. After a few seconds which seemed like hours Pride kicked Roy full force into the opposing wall. Riza and Havoc raised their guns, but Pride dissapeared and reappered behind them. He hit the backs of their necks and kicked them into the wall as well. Envy smirked and looked at the door. Their prey had just entered. Pride looked over at him and smirked.

"Let's go Envy, I need to blow off some steam." He said. Envy nodded and the walked out of the pub grabbing their target as they went.

"Honey..." Said a smooth elderly voice.

"Yes?" Asked an old male voice.

"How do you think Pride is coping." The lady asked. She stepped into the light of her husbands office and looked at him. He looked up from his notes and smiled.

"He will be doing well. Envy will take care of him, afterall they care for each other. Though they'll never say it." He said the old woman nodded and stepped back into the shadows dissapearing from sight.

"I hope." The man added in a whispered and went back to his work.

A/N: Okay, I know that Pride in most stories doesn't act like that, but I wanted to change him and so I made him more evil then the other Prides I read about. I wanted to know what Prides power is, can anyone tell me? By the way, I hate those stupid little dots, you know the full stops you use as three when someone pauses in speech or something? Yeah well I hate them. Anyway, I am suffering writers block for the story Forbidden Grounds... If you have read it and have any ideas please PM me. I need all the help I can get right now. Thanks. Please review and tell me what you think!
