Fullmetal Alchemist - Alchemistic Twilight

Chapter 9

3 Deadly Sins

The kiss ended with us, staring into each other eyes, we connected. I stepped back and smirked. "That was.."

"Nice?" She added "Unexpected..not that it's bad it's just.." I explain, not trying to give her the wrong impression, She smiled "We better get going". I looked outside, It was starting to be the end of the afternoon and it started to rain. "Sheska was right about the thunderstorm" "She's mostly right about the little things" "I grabbed my red coat and threw the hood up. "Ladies first" as i held the door open. I noticed her pink car was in the drive way, When i saw that car i thought about my secret, My false identity..Toilet Bandit, Sounding like a child's superhero then it started. Was it a good thing to be a Homunculi?, Was I a hero or villain?. Was i condemned to hell or would i be going to heaven. I mainly thought about this on the ride their, She looked at me. "Why so quiet?" she finish with a short chuckle, "Homunculi..Gift of God or Curse of the Devil.." Her smiled died, I looked at her, her face was cold. She focused on the road, "Homunculi are..terrible, monsterious things, Homunculi's can be created by a different way also"

"How?"

"Do you know anything about Equivalent Exchange?"

"Alchemist Forbidden Law, Yeah..I know it" I looked away

"Well it's Homunculi can come from that, if it fails that it" Every word, she was serious about "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. When it fails.."

"A homunculi is born, with the look of the person you tired to bring back..i heard rumors"

"That's where the philosopher stone comes in, Think of the stone as a do over, If it's included in the Equivalent Exchange then it'll work. It'll also forever kill a Homunculi, now don't get me wrong, Homunculi can die but in there place another will be born. The Philosopher Stone makes sure their dead. The Philosopher's Stone: those who possess it, no longer bound by the laws of equivalent exchange in alchemy, can gain without sacrifice... create without equal exchange..It's never been found" I under everything she told me, I knew how to kill a homunculi and i planned two, once i understood my ability, I was going to find Greed and destroy him. We arrived at the field, It was raining at the field passed their house. It was cloudy and thunder was loud. We got out, join with the family. Standing there was Shou Tucker with Nina. Everyone was wearing clothes for the field, I wore the usual. "Edward, so glad you could join, you play much?" "Today, I'm mainly a watcher, maybe next time i play a few rounds" "Gladly" Shou said with a smile, His voice still a whisper. "PLAY BALL!" Roy let out, At the base was Jean Havok, holding a bat, Sheska walked up and threw the ball, He hit and the ball was like listening to lightning through earphones. It hurt my ears. "That's why you play during a storm", i watched. Winry and Shou ran after the ball, Winry jumped and grabbed it, Nina stood next to me. "Hello". I looked down at Nina, standing their with Alexander, It was written on his tags.

"Hi, Nina"

"You like Baseball, Big Brother" She said in her cute little voice

"I'm new to the sport, You?"

"My dad loves it, Wanna play when he get home?" She asked

"Um..Sure, I'd love to"

"Really?..Thank you Big Brother"

She thought me as family, i guess she was use to it, a homunculi roaming around the house probably meant family, How sad for her

"In fact, We'll even let Alexander here play with us, He'll be the catcher"

"How can he do that?" She asked

"Well..I'll teach him"..I played with her, i used a kind voice. "You said you didn't know anything about Baseball" "I use to watch kids in my hometown play, i know a few things" She smile and nods

Winry ran at me, worried. "We need to get out of here", Her voice in panic. "Why?" i asked, "Greed, He's here with his friends" The word hit me, Greed. I wanted revenge and wanted him to bleed but it wasn't simple, how could i when i didn't understand my ability. Shou ran with with Roy and the rest. "He'll for sure want to finish the job. We need to leave.

"Leaving so soon?" the voice rough but raspy. Standing their was a shirtless Greed, Skin normal wearing a pair of glasses. Next to him was a large, fat man, Bald and wearing a sleeveless black shirt with matching pants. His finger dangling on his lip. "Can i eat him?" "No, Gluttony" Her voice sexy and soft. Wearing a long black with green tiny dress, Long black hair and pale white skin and a red printed tattoo. just above her breast. "Forest Boy, Long time no see"

"It's Edward"

"Edward, a name to match the face, I've been hunting for"

"It was you in my house?"

"That was me" Gluttony let slip, "Shou, Family..may i speak with my dear friend here, alone", "Over my dead body" Shou forced. "It could be arranged" Greed replied, "It's okay, Let me talk to him" I said, not a scared bone in my body "But if so, The girl and fat stay behind "I'm not fat" He shouted. Greed walked off, Edward followed. "The Old Church in the middle of Riverside Park, It's abandoned..Meet me there tonight at 12, I know you've been craving your revenge" I walked off, not replying "If you don't show, i'll turn the little girl, her blood smiles good". I stopped and turned to her "Fine, I'll be there" "I know, I'll make sure of it...Gluttony, Lust..Lets get going and let our guest, get home" I rejoined the family, They left. Shou and everyone surrounded me "What did he ask?" Winry asked before anyone. I knew if i told them the truth, they hurt the family so i couldn't risk their lives. "He told me to meet him in Risembool, He want me to avenge myself"
