Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 2
Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to read this story. Sorry I didn't update sooner. I have been very busy. One last thing I would like to say before I start this chapter is that, this story takes place in an alternate universe. I'm sorry for the confusion. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Also, I would like to thank Victoria Grace (a.k.a. Saphira99v) for editing my fanfictions.
I do not ownFullmetal Alchemist norFullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
"Wake up! It's time to start the next competition," Al yelled through the bullhorn. He waited painterly for the Homunculi to wake up, and come to the starting line. Once they all got there, Al explained the rules for the competition.
"Today, you will be in a race." Al continued, "This takes endurance and skill. You can trick each other, change signs around, etc. You can do anything you want, but the last person to cross the finish line will go home. Any questions?"
The Homunculi didn't say anything, so he took that as a no.
"Let's begin! Everyone take their positions. On your mark, get set, ready go!" Al yelled, signaling the start of the race.
The race has started calmly, for the Homunculi weren't that happy that they had to wake up this early in the first place, let alone be at this island.
Lust had taken an early lead. As much as she hated this island, she did not want to go home and get a punishment. If Edward had made them, they were probably not good. Lust also listened to Al's rules for the race. Unlike half of the Homunculi. Lust knew if she was first she could flip some signs around making the competition go the other direction. She knew if she contained her lead, she could do whatever she wanted to and didn't have to worry about something happening to her.
Envy hated this island, the idea, and most of all pipsqueak! Why had Edward come up with this stupid idea in the first place? And Ed had sent his brother here to be the host! As much as Envy wanted to leave this island, he was competitive and he wanted to win. Envy had spotted Lust in front of him, he noticed that she had changed the sign that had an arrow pointing to the left, was now pointing to the right. He followed Lust to the left, hoping everyone else would fall for that little trick.
'Man, I hate running,' Greed thought to himself. This was an awful challenge. He was pretty sure he was third, but he knew Pride was right behind him. Greed had taken a right instead of a left and realized he was at the end of a cliff. 'This can't be right,' he thought to himself.
"Greed why are you stopping?" Pride had asked finally catching up to him.
"We have to run down this cliff," Greed told him, "It doesn't seem right."
Pride answered,"Well, the sign pointed this way."
Greed couldn't believe it: he had fell for a trick.
"No, Pride, someone changed the sign!" Greed yelled and starting running in the right direction.
Pride narrowed his eyes, remembering Al saying something about changing the signs.
Wrath was mad, for he had fallen so far behind. Still, he knew having the ultimate eye would help him through the course, and he was determined not to go home.
Gluttony was walking and starving, of course. As he was wishing for something to eat, a bunny just happened to jump across the path. Gluttony eyes widened.
"Can I eat you?" he said to the bunny, who just hopped away. Gluttony was sad his food ran away, but he kept walking. He wasn't willing to give up and go home.
"Attention, Homunculi!" Al yelled through the bullhorn, "There will be a buffet for the first six Homunculi that stay in this competition!"
Gluttony was overjoyed with happiness and started to run. Only the thought of food was on his mind. Gluttony had passed Wrath, Greed, and then Pride.
Envy had felt the ground shaking below him. 'What is happening now?' he thought. Then he saw Gluttony, running towards him. Envy quickly moved out of the way before he got trampled, but then came up with an idea.
"Hey, Gluttony!" Envy called.
Gluttony had turned around, allowing Envy to jump on his back.
"Go!" he screamed.
Gluttony and Envy were making their way to the finish line, with Lust right in front of them.
"Hey, Lust!" Envy called once more.
Lust looked up to see Envy sitting on top of Gluttony. She used her ultimate spear, and hit Envy, making him fall down the cliff almost back to the beginning.
She smiled, and walked across the finish line, with Gluttony following right behind her.
"Congratulations, Lust!" Al cheered, "You have won this challenge. Gluttony, you've got second! Congrats. Now enjoy the buffet," He then waited for everyone else to finish, cheering them on.
Shortly after that, Pride and Greed had also finished.
Envy was all the way at the start, 'You have got to be kidding me,' he thought. He ran quickly, and managed to catch up to Wrath. Envy smiled evilly as he shape-shifted into Wrath.
Wrath turned around, to see himself. Wrath started to run faster, but Envy-Wrath had tackled him. They both fell on top of the finish line.
"I'm the real Wrath and I finished first!" they yelled in union.
Al stared at them, completely unsure about what to do.
"Um... well, only one Wrath can stay," Al told them a little worried, "Uh, I guess this Wrath is eliminated," he pointing to one of the Wrath's.
"But I'm the real Wrath!" Wrath had yelled as the boat took him away from the island.
The other Wrath waved goodbye, as Pride demanded, "Are you Envy or the real Wrath?"
"Who do you think it is?!" Envy snapped. He gave Pride a good kick in the stomach as he changed back into his preferred form.
The other 4 Homunculi glared at him. Envy just smiled and returned to his tent, knowing he had plenty more tricks up his sleeve.
Thank you so much for reading this chapter. I'm sorry if Wrath was your favorite. Now we are down to the final five! Tell me who you want to the whole competition, and who you want to be eliminated next. Thanks again for reading, and I will try to update soon, I already started writing the next chapter. Bye! ~Fawfulrox
