I managed to catch up with Alphonse and Scar in a warehouse. I saw them fighting, I wiped my face again as the blood was still getting in my way,
"Damn blood…" I frowned and jumped to the side as I saw Scar run at me before closing me eyes,
"Rea!" Alphonse yelled as I stumbled back into a wall and hear footsteps running towards me, I clapped my hands and put them to the floor as I created a lot of spikes flying forward towards them. I knew it wasn't Alphonse as I could hear him on my left side.
"I can't see a thing, Al! Is there any water around here to wash the blood away?" I asked, my vision was very limited,
"I've got you!" Alphonse ran beside me and quickly picked me up on his back as he ran around, I just listened to Alphonse move and he quickly used alchemy and jumped and landed on something.
"We're on a water tower, I'll get some water out for you when I get a chance." Alphonse spoke as I nodded,
"Thanks." I smiled and I heard Scar jump up,
"There's nothing inside that armour. You're hollow, aren't you? You poor boy, Alchemy trapped you in that metal prison and yet you still have faith in it?" Scar spoke, Alphonse clapped his hands and created to vents, I jumped off Alphonse's back as I could hear a small leak behind me. I quickly put my face under the water and wiped my face clean and pushed my hair back as some of my bangs that weren't in my ponytail kept getting stuck to my face. Alphonse and Scar jumped off and down onto the floor below.
"True, there are plenty of things about this body that are inconvenient, but it's nothing I can't live with. I don't need pity from anyone, least of all from you. My brother used Alchemy to save my life. To regret the form, I have now would mean not only rejecting Alchemy but also turning my back on him. I believe in my brother, and I believe in Alchemy. I will not lose faith; I want to believe." Alphonse spoke, I smiled at him as Scar reached his hand out, they were both back on the ground as I was still on the tower,
"Oh, do you?" Scar spoke and made the water disperse into gas,
"Alphonse!" I yelled.
Edward ran out of nowhere and defended his brother. I smiled seeing he was back,
"Brother! Where's Winry?" Alphonse asked,
"She's safe… no thanks to me though, I made her cry again… Where's Reaka?" Edward spoke,
"Here… and you should be more careful," I jumped down between them.
"She doesn't like to see you fight like that," Alphonse added, I pulled my sword out of my sheath.
"Yeah, but she's gone now, so let's end this," Edward spoke.
"Ohhh! I found you!" a fat man jumped down, his tongue flung around wildly, and we could see a tattoo on his tongue,
"You again!" Scar glared back at the fat man,
"Look at his tattoo!" Alphonse called,
"A Homunculus!" Edward spoke, I stopped and put my blade away,
"Now what, Edward?" I looked at him,
"I… didn't get that far." Edward spoke as I quickly glared at him and bowed my head, the two brothers charged forward and kicked the big homunculus back as Scar was body slammed into the train car.
I pulled my blade out and prepared to attack as well but the manhole behind me burst open and Ling jumped over my head,
"It's Ling!" Edward called, Ling jumped onto the homunculus and shoved a bomb down its mouth,
"Go! Move it!" Ling yelled, Ling jumped off from the homunculus and it took there for a moment in confusion. Suddenly, it's body exploded everywhere as I cringed. We could see the pieces of body start to disappear and his body began regenerating.
"Get me some strong cable!" Ling yelled as the homunculus was still regenerating,
"Right! On it!" Edward called and clapped his hands and hit the train lines, I joined him on the next line with Al and helped Ling make sure he had enough to tie the homunculus up. Ling had it secured tightly,
"Your own regenerative ability's working against you. Your flesh won't stop expanding! It'll keep you tied up nice and tight! You're mine now… Homunculus!" Ling yelled, I pumped my fist and smiled.
Just then a car pulled up on the tracks, the woman shot two bullets at Scar, and he fell to the floor as he gripped his leg from the new bullet wound. I frowned and looked at the blonde-haired woman,
"Put him in. We're getting out of here!" A woman called. I immediately recognised that amazing aim as Riza Hawkeye. I took a breath as I glanced at Scar quickly.
"Hold on a sec, Lieute-?" Edward stopped as she put her fingers to her lips then drove off,
"Wait, what's going on-" Alphonse questioned,
"Al, pretend we don't know them. The MPs are watching." Edward spoke as I looked around and then back at Scar.
"The Colonel maybe a creep and a jerk but at least we can trust him. We have something to do…" Edward spoke, he charged at Scar and landed a hard punch on his cheek and Scar tried to swing his arm around as Edward dodged. Edward jumped again as Scar used his arm to break some of the ground, "We have to get him Al, Rea!" Edward spoke, Alphonse and I nodded. "You killed the Rockbell's, Nina and many others," Edward started,
"And you're going to answer for your crimes!" Alphonse said just as a little girl kicked him out of nowhere. She then kicked Edward in the face, and looked at you,
"Oh please…" I ducked down as she jumped over me and then ran towards Scar.
"Are these two giving you trouble, servant? This is the servant of the man who saved my life, you better leave him alone, puny little boy," the girl pointed at Edward,
"Wait a sec! Who you callin' Puny!" Edward screamed, I looked at the clothing, it wasn't traditional Amestris style… it looked like… Xing?
"Where'd that kid come from?" an MP spoke,
"Get away, girl! It's dangerous!" another man called as they all surrounded them both,
"They've got us outnumbered it's time to retreat…" The girl pulled out kunai and then thrown them on to two different trains. I looked at them blankly as she then created a transmutation circle on the floor, she then put more kunai on the floor and touched the transmutation. The trains exploded, I was still standing there blankly,
"That's not like Amestrian Alchemy either, it's… she is from Xing!" I tapped my fist in the palm of my hand.
"Rea!" Edward called as I wasn't doing anything, just standing there.
"I can't see!" Edward complained, I just stood there in the middle of the smoke, trying to listen for Scar, but because Edward was yelling so much, I couldn't hear wherever he was going. "Rea!" Edward called as the smoke disappeared, Edward looked shocked when he just saw me standing there in thought, "Rea! Are you okay?!" Edward yelled as he was climbing off the ground,
"I'm fine!" I spoke and folded my arms and looked away, Edward ran over to me and suddenly gave me a hug as I froze. I thought he was annoyed that I was just stood there.
"Ed?" I gently lifted my hands on his back, Edward didn't say anything as I just felt him hug me tightly, did seeing me die again worry him? I frowned and kissed his head as he stepped back, "I'm okay, right as rain." I smiled as he frowned and nodded. I sighed and looked at the kunai daggers around, "that girl. I'm sure she's from Xing." I looked at the transmutation circles,
"Wha-Are you sure?" Edward asked as I nodded,
"I'm pretty certain, that was alkahestry, and her clothes weren't from around here." I added, Edward looked at the daggers as well as some MPs came and escorted us off the train yard. They got us into a car to send us somewhere to talk, but they only really needed Edward. I didn't understand who that young girl was. I knew she was from Xing but was she with Ling or not?
"Look what I found, Ed." Alphonse spoke, we looked in Alphonse's hands and inside was a small panda as I blinked and looked at the adorable creature,
"We're a little busy to be adopting panda bears, Al!" Edward yelled, and glared at his brother,
"I think she's adorable!" I smiled and clapped my hands together,
"I couldn't leave her alone in the middle of all that mess back there!" Alphonse spoke, he loved cute small animals, and this was ticking the two boxes,
"First stray cats, and now this?! Just how many animals can you stuff into that armour of yours, huh?! Get rid of it!" Edward yelled and huffed,
"What a heartless thing to say… look how sweet and gentle she is," Alphonse poked her cheek, the little panda tried to take a bite of Alphonse's finger, "It's alright. You're safe now." Alphonse spoke, the panda looked shocked.
"Aww, can I see her?" I asked, and the little Panda looked at me,
"Sure, now don't bite ok, Rea is very nice," Alphonse spoke as I took a hold of the little panda,
"She's so cute!" I smiled, and rubbed her cheek softly then tickled her stomach.
"She seems to like you, Rea." Alphonse piped up, the panda was laying on her back in my hand enjoying the fuss, she soon stood up and jumped on my top as she climbed up
"She does!" I smiled as she appeared on my shoulder.
We arrived at the military headquarters and were escorted down the hallway,
"This way… follow me," a soldier spoke,
"Erm… guys… I'm going to find our new little friend here something to eat ok," I spoke, and the panda rubbed her head against my neck as Alphonse put his hands up enjoying the cute animal,
"Oh ok, we'll meet you back outside later, yeah?" Edward smiled, and then glared at the panda who hissed at him,
"Sure," I smiled and kissed Edward on his cheek, the panda hissed at him again as I gently rubbed its head with my index finger. Edward was mumbling something under his breath as I left the brothers.
"Come on now little one, I'm guessing you like bamboo and oh I have no clue… can you hint to me what you like…" I looked at the little panda, she shrugged, I sighed, "Still gotta find something…" I pondered then thought, "Cabbage!" I smiled and ran over to a small store; I spoke with the shop keeper for a bit and bought some cabbage and went home with the panda.
When I got home, I noticed that Winry wasn't there and her stuff was gone, I started to worry as I started to clean up, even though my home was already clean.
I heard the door open and as I peered around, I saw Edward and Alphonse walk in, without Winry.
"You're back? Where's… Winry?" I asked, Edward frowned sadly as he looked at me. We moved to the table as I had the little panda eating cabbage and explained to me their meeting with the Fuhrer, how he was watching over her. Winry then was called back to Rush Valley, so she had to leave, her bag had already been packed and someone collected it before I got back home.
"Oh… I'll have to call her and say sorry that I wasn't there," I explained and looked down, Edward reached over the table as I looked at his hand, I smiled as I took it and the little panda growled at Edward,
"Did you find something for our new little friend?" Alphonse asked,
"Yes! She LOVES cabbage!" I smiled, the panda nodded but returned to growling at Edward shortly after,
"What's it's problem?" Edward blankly stared at it,
"I don't know." I spoke and used my free hand to stroke its cheek as it leaned into me, "I always wanted a companion, like a dog or a cat." I smiled at the panda.
I looked back at Edward, and he was smiling at me gently. A knock was heard on the door as I stood up, walking to it I heard a voice,
"It's me." Roy spoke as I opened the door,
"Roy? What are you doing here?" I looked up at him,
"How does he know where you live?!" Edward suddenly yelled as I looked back at him,
"I've owned this place long before Roy was born." I stared blankly, Roy smirked and tilted his head down,
"I've been in here a few times over my lifetime." Roy chuckled,
"Huh?!" Edward was shocked,
"Roy, stop teasing Edward!" I looked at Roy as he smirked at Edward, I could see Edward was boiling with rage,
"Why is he getting mad anyway? It's not like… are you together?" Roy asked as he pointed at Edward in disbelief, Edward's rage soon changed to cockiness as he walked down the hallway,
"We are." I nodded,
"So, you turned me down all those years ago but get with a brat like Fullmetal?" Roy growled lowly, Edward stopped and looked at Roy as I looked away,
"You weren't my type." I shrugged, Edward suddenly grinned and put his arm around my waist as I jumped, Roy was partly glaring at Edward as I realised this has turned into a competition for them now. I sighed, "don't use me to one up each other in your dick measuring contest." I snapped as they both flinched, Alphonse walked over carrying the panda as I looked at Roy.
"Why are you here?" I asked,
"I need you all to come with me." Roy spoke as we realised it was serious as his face and tone immediately changed.
Leaving my home, we got into Roy's car, and I was in the front seat,
"We'll had to pick up one more person." Roy spoke as I looked at him,
"Oh… do I need to move?" I asked,
"You can sit on Ed's lap." Roy smirked as I glanced back at him,
"Sure." I nodded as pulled up to a house, before whoever it was got out, I climbed out the car and went around the back.
Doctor Knox walked out, and I waved at him, he nodded and got in the front as I opened the door to see Edward offering his hand for me to climb in. As I moved onto Edward's lap, he pulled me close, and I closed the car door.
"Comfy?" Roy smirked,
"Just peachy." Edward replied as I pulled my hair around and out of the way of Edward's face,
"You should be fine with her on your lap, Edward. Since she's your girlfriend." Roy teased,
"Of course, I'm fine with it." Edward glared back at Roy, "In fact, you should know we share her bed at home." Edward smirked as I froze, Alphonse looked at Edward. Roy just took a deep breath and gripped the stirring wheel. I sighed and smacked my forehead as Doctor Knox looked back at us.
"Edward, please stop trying to use me to get one up on Roy." I glanced over my shoulder at him, Edward took a deep breath quickly and held it as I stared at him darkly. "If you must know, our relationship has been going for a while now." I explained, Roy soon smiled,
"I'm glad you two found one another." Roy spoke as I smiled and put my hands on Edward's arm gently,
"So am I." I mumbled as I felt Edward squeeze me gently.
Roy drove us to a house on the edge of Central, it was a wooden cabin not massive, but had enough rooms for a small family if needed. We climbed out the car and I looked at the surrounding forest, nobody could really suspect we were here of all places.
Heading inside we found out that Ling had come here with Lan Fan. She was in bed with her arm cut off, I moved to her side and put my hand on her head gently,
"Lan Fan," I frowned sadly and looked at Doctor Knox as he turned to Ling.
We went outside and Ling told us about a fight they were in which caused Lan Fan to lose her arm,
"You let her wonder around the sewers with her arm cut off! Don't blame me if she gets lockjaw…" Doctor Knox spoke, I looked at the door as the doctor looked at me, "Reaka, do you think you could help me with some things?" Doctor Knox asked as I looked at him in surprise,
"S-Sure," I nodded and walked in the room,
"Just make sure she's ok and get her something to bite down on," Doctor Knox explained,
"Right," I nodded, I left the room, and the boys watched me go into another room.
As I went back to the doctor and Lan Fan, they watched me close the door, I twirled the towel around a broken bit of wood,
"Bite down on this." I put and she nodded, I then clapped my hands and made a contraption with wood to keep her other arm in the air. "Hang in their Lan Fan. Ling need's you to work with him again so hold on," I reassured her.
"Help me with the bandages." Doctor Knox spoke and beckoned me by nodding his head,
"Ok," I nodded and helped her sit up as he dressed her wounds.
I walked out not long after with my arms wrapped around myself. I sat down next to Edward and leaned against the wall as I was trying to calm down from dealing with Lan Fan, I didn't do much medical work on people over the course of my life… it was still difficult to see people in so much pain, something I didn't have to deal with for very long because of my healing factor.
Edward and Alphonse went in to see Lan Fan while the others went into another room and I could hear Roy and Ling talking, I couldn't hear what they were saying exactly but I could recognise their voices. Standing up I followed it and saw the Homunculus on the floor, still bound up,
"He's bound up tight isn't he," I chuckled, I couldn't believe he was still as secure as he was,
"He sure is!" Ling smiled.
Edward, Alphonse, and Doctor Knox walked over, Edward put his hand on my back as I smiled at him sadly,
"Hey, what do we have here?" Doctor Knox asked, he looked at Gluttony on the floor,
"That's Gluttony. He's a Homunculus." Ling spoke,
"He and his friends appear to have connections among some of the military senior staff." Roy added,
"Just some you say? It goes far deeper than that!" Ling spoke, "Your Fuhrer, King Bradley, I believe it's possible that he's a Homunculus too." Ling started as we all looked at him in shock, "I saw his eye the one under the patch. It had an Uroboros tattoo. He and Gluttony came after us and they were working together!" Ling explained, I looked at him in shock,
"No way," Edward spoke,
"Our ruler? A Homunculus!" Alphonse was shocked, it would explain why Bradley always looked out for me over the years…
"Although… Bradley doesn't have the same inhuman presence that you get from Gluttony. At his core he still feels like a regular person, kind of like Reaka." Ling explained, I frowned, I wanted to step back, I hated being compared to someone else who could potentially cause harm to people, but I knew Ling didn't mean it.
"Another thing… if the Fuhrer is a homunculus how can he possibly have a son? It said in that book that homunculi have no reproductive capabilities." Alphonse explained, I managed to step away,
"No, the Fuhrer's son Selim is adopted, there's no direct blood between him and his father." Doctor Knox explained,
"Whether he's monster or human, either way these new developments make it easier to remove him from the seat of power. First, we get information out of this one, and I'll take his stone. It may prove useful in treating my men." Roy spoke, I stepped backwards and frowned, Edward looked back at me for a moment, and I felt like I was going to cry.
I was a monster… Ling was able to sense that I was different… that I was like the Homunculi. I was tied to them in some ways… I knew my past was somehow connected to them.
"Hey you! Lan Fan lost her arm to get him! He's our captive…" Ling grabbed Roy's collar. I sighed and walked off to go outside and talk to Hawkeye. The voices were drowning out in the background as I wrapped my arms around my body, I didn't like being put on par with the Homunculi, every single one had caused us harm in some way these last six months. As I opened the door and saw her in front of me a loud explosion happened and half the building was gone, including Riza's car,
"What the hell!?" We both spoke.
Looking at the massive hole in the side of the house I gasped and moved around with Hawkeye,
"Colonel!" Hawkeye called,
"Edward!" I yelled and followed Hawkeye to the hole in the wall.
"Hawkeye, Rea, stop!" Roy yelled, another explosion happened right besides us, and Hawkeye's gun was half gone,
"Oh… shit…" I looked at it shocked and then at Hawkeye as she looked at me for a moment.
We saw some glowing red eyes in the darkness of the house and as I focused it stepped forward, seeing the Homunculus from before but its mouth was open all the way down it's stomach and I saw an eye in the centre. My mind flashed to the gates as I put my hand to my head. I looked at that eye and noticed a major difference in it to the Truth's gate though… the pupil was completely different. As the building started to collapse, we heard movement to our right and as Riza aimed her gun at Gluttony, she also pointed another at the rubble that revealed Alphonse, Roy and Doctor Knox on the ground.
"Lieutenant! Don't provoke him! I'm the one he wants!" Roy yelled,
"Mustang!" Gluttony yelled, he screamed, and another shockwave blasted from his mouth and took out move of the building as they all scrambled out into the open area.
I made my way over to Edward as I saw him come around from behind Alphonse,
"Edward!" I gripped onto him as I looked towards the house and saw Gluttony standing. I knelt next to him as he was just staring at Gluttony in rage and disgust, I pulled at his shoulders and he looked at me, "We have to move." I spoke as Edward snapped out of it and nodded.
"Let's go, we have to bring him down." Roy spoke, as he removed his normal gloves and grabbed his uniformed pair,
"But we worked so hard to catch one of the homunculi," Alphonse spoke, and looked at Roy,
"In this situation, I think surviving is top priority!" I explained,
"He knows our names and faces too. We need to eliminate him!" Roy added as he sent an explosion towards Gluttony. Within a few seconds he sucked up all the flames and burped.
We all stood there blankly,
"He swallowed it?" Edward mumbled,
"Great… he can eat fire…" I bowed my head down,
"Uh-oh." Alphonse spoke.
Edward quickly grabbed me and pulled me out the way of an attack as we all started running,
"Hey, that worked well," Edward yelled,
"Think you can do better? Be my guest!" Roy complained,
"Or we could just leave you behind, Colonel. You're the one he really wants." Alphonse spoke.
"Those trees over there! Spread out!" Roy yelled as we all ran in a different direction.
I ran away but I heard shots in the distance and Gluttony roar again, I ran in its direction and found Roy crouched on the floor. I knelt in front of him, and Roy half smiled at me,
"Hey, Rea…" Roy winced, I clapped my hands and made a dirt version of Roy on the floor. Edward ran out a moment later and I offered my hand to Roy,
"Coat, please!" I snapped and Roy glared at me as I was bossing him around and Edward smirked,
"Don't tell me what to do." Roy snapped,
"I'm trying to save your life." I yanked his coat as I looked at Riza as she moved around, "Take Roy, Edward. Help me with the decoy." I spoke as Edward moved beside me and transmuted fake hair on the decoy as Riza took Roy away. I put the coat around the shoulders of the stump, and we heard Gluttony yelling nearby. I felt Edward grab my hand as Alphonse ran through the trees,
"Run!" Alphonse yelled as we nodded and bolted from the dummy on the ground.
We caught up with the others as an explosion went off behind us, I walked backwards and smirked.
"Good, he fell for it," I grinned,
"Quick thinking, Rea!" Edward smirked,
"Well, I have my moments." I spoke, and Edward just nodded as he smirked.
"Doesn't sound like he's very happy about it!" Alphonse spoke as the banging and destruction of the forest continued in the distance.
"All right. Now get in the car. Invalid…" Edward pushed Roy in the back seat as he cringed and held his side,
"Lieutenant, please take care of Lan Fan." Alphonse spoke.
"You expect me to run away and leave this to you. Elric?" Roy snapped,
"If you stay, you'll just get in our way!" Edward snapped,
"Yeah! leave!" Alphonse yelled,
"They're right, you won't be any use here, sorry." Riza spoke, I giggled, as Roy didn't look so happy, Edward just stared blankly as I looked back at the forest.
"Right now, you need to go and do your job. The head of the military is a homunculus, don't you think you should do something about that?" Edward spoke, I turned towards the forest and watched the explosions from Gluttony's body,
"The head of the military, you aren't talking about Fuhrer Bradley, are you?" Riza asked,
"We can talk about it later. Now get in!" Doctor Knox snapped at the four of us, we all looked at each other.
"The car looks full. You go ahead." Edward spoke,
"You dumbasses!" Doctor Knox yelled,
"You can't really believe we'll let a couple of children fight this battle for us!" Riza protested,
"With the senior staff involved in this you're going to need all the help you can get." Ling smiled,
"And that would include getting whatever information we can out of this Gluttony guy, wouldn't you say?" Edward smiled,
"We'll stay here and find out what we can, I don't think it matters much that we're children." Alphonse spoke,
"This was our mission to begin with, and we're going to see it through. We appreciate your help up till now, though." Edward smiled, I looked over my shoulder and smiled at them as they looked between the four of us,
"Plus, I'm not a child… technically." I added as I pondered, "age wise no, but body wise, I guess but…" I spoke out loud, "Sorry! Distracted!" I looked away and back at the forest.
"Here Edward, I want you to take this," Riza gave Edward her gun, I looked at it in her hand and then at Edward, "You do know how to use this don't you?" Riza asked, I never used a gun previously, I gripped onto my sheath, I'd never really killed anyone before.
"That's a weapon, for killing people," Alphonse spoke,
"Yeah, but Alchemy can be used as a weapon for killing people and protecting people. A gun is the same thing," I hugged myself as Riza nodded,
"I'll take it," Edward taken the gun as we all heard another explosion in the forest,
"Look after Lan Fan," Ling spoke.
I took off into the forest ahead of the others to find Gluttony, I stopped behind a tree as Gluttony was screaming and looking around, I felt Edward appear behind me as his hands landed on my back,
"I know we said we'd stay and all, but that's seriously freaky…" Edward spoke,
"He seems to be a bit angry…" Ling shook, I sighed,
"Looks like I'm starting the fight then," I went to move forward but then we all heard a noise behind us.
Looking back on a log we saw a dog, I glared at it,
"A dog?" Alphonse questioned,
"Gluttony, stop this!" the dog spoke, you glared at it,
"A talking dog?" Edward was shocked,
"Hey, long time no see," the dog transformed into the palm tree haired man from the 5th Lab. I gasped as he smirked at us, "How are you, Fullmetal Pipsqueak?" the Homunculus asked,
"I told you before, don't call me short!" Edward yelled and ran at the Homunculus as I just put my hand to my forehead,
"Hey, calm down! I'm just here to get Gluttony back, nothing more than that! I don't want to fight you, pipsqueak!" the Homunculus spoke, as Edward punched the tree behind him,
"That's five now!" Edward yelled.
"What are you talking about?" the Homunculus asked,
"You called me pipsqueak twice here, and 3 times in the laboratory! Don't tell me you've forgotten already!" Edward yelled.
"Impressive, you've got a sharp memory there," the Homunculus jumped from the tree and Gluttony ran over to him,
"Hold it!" Edward yelled as I sighed.
"You're becoming bothersome." The Homunculus looked at Gluttony,
"Mustang was here, swallow him… he killed Lust… Swallow him up!" Gluttony spoke, I sighed,
"You don't get the Colonel, or the Elric brothers or Morden," the Homunculus spoke.
"Why not?" Gluttony asked.
"I've sensed this multiplicity before, how many people are inside you? Homunculus?" Ling spoke, the Homunculus glared,
"I know you, you're the kid who crossed swords with Wrath, aren't you?" the Homunculus leaned on Gluttony,
"What do you mean kid? I happen to be the 12th son of the emperor of Xing. My name is-" Ling started explaining,
"Eat him," the Homunculus put his hand on Gluttony's head.
Ling ran away with Gluttony in chase,
"You thinking, what I'm thinking?" Edward smirked and cracked his knuckles with a smirk,
"Looks like they really aren't allowed to do anything to us," Alphonse spoke,
"In which case," Edward smirked as he created a huge wall between the two homunculi, "Ling, Rea, you get that one!" Edward spoke.
"Very well, let's see how good you are. You held off Wrath but how will you do against me," the Homunculus smirked, Ling ran at the Homunculus as I waited for a chance to help Ling when he needed it as I knew Ling would be able to handle the fight to start.
"You really know how to use that thing," the Homunculus smirked,
"Thank you for the compliment, really!" Ling cut into the Homunculus' side,
"You fell for it!" the Homunculus smirked and created a snake on his arm and wrapped it around Ling's neck as I ran over and went to use my blade, but he grabbed my wrist first and wrapped his leg around mine so if I moved, I'd lose my balance and fall onto Ling's blade.
"Good, isn't it? and you humans can't do anything like it. So, what will it be, strangled to death, bitten to death, or carved up into little pieces after I make you slice Morden's throat, here," the man smirked, I glared as my head was near Ling's blade.
"Do you trust me, Rea?" Ling asked,
"Yes," I spoke, the Homunculus looked confused as Ling laughed, dropped his blade, and kicked dirt over my body and in the man's eyes. I pushed myself up and kicked his chin upwards, as Ling chopped his snake arm off and sliced up his body. I smirked as he fell back and his knee landed on the ground, the noise was thunderous as he landed.
"That was a dirty trick, blinding me. That's not playing fair." The Homunculus spoke,
"People have been trying to assassinate me since I was a kid. Under the circumstances, you can't blame a guy for learning how to fight dirty. So, have you had enough yet? Are you going to come quietly now? I just want whatever information you can give me on becoming immortal." Ling explained, as the Homunculus was healing on the floor,
"Wow… assassinated…" I pondered,
"Yes, and when I become Emperor you can become my Queen," Ling smiled,
"No thanks," I quickly replied, Ling wasn't happy as the homunculus stood up, "I'm with Edward, remember?" I smirked, Ling looked back at the man on the floor and smirked as he was healing,
"Shall we go again?" Ling taunted as I held my blade,
"You scum! A mere human like you can't condensed me!" the Homunculus yelled,
"You seem to underestimate humans. And that's a mistake!" Ling spoke.
A moment later the wall crashed down with Alphonse and Edward falling through it.
"Stay out of our way, guys! We're busy!" Ling yelled and chopped the homunculus' leg off and I got the other. He suddenly transformed into Lan Fan and Ling froze.
"Gluttony now!" he yelled,
"Ling! Reaka!" Edward yelled, he jumped towards us as I looked at Gluttony,
"Brother!" Alphonse yelled, as we all felt a weird sensation pulling at us.
This was just like that day…!
