Father sat in his room, with Pride staring endlessly at him. He was more than furious now, far more. Pride dared not say anything to him, for fear of something happening to him. Finally Father stood.
“Father, where are you going?” Pride asked, worry taking over him.
“I’m going out. To end this girl’s life once and for all.” He saimply said, keeping his tone neutral. “She’s caused nothing but trouble, and I want her eliminated. At once!”
Pride took a step back, realizing that if he got in the way then something would for sure happen to him. Father roughly grabbed his coat off the hanger and pulled it on. Pride then knew he was going out, by himself.
“You can’t. Father, it’s too dangerous-”
“It’s dangerous to stay here! We’re being picked at like flowers! I will not stand for this! Never!”
“Sheesh, calm down pops. It’s not the end yet.” Envy stood up then, in his usual female garb.
“I don’t need that from you!”
“Alright, just don’t go making irrational decisions okay?”
“Father, if you’re going out there to kill her, you might want to take us with you.” Pride suggested.
“I suppose your right. Come, let us end this now.”
Envy and Pride followed Father as he rushed out the door. They were outside soon enough, and out there they began their journey. Father had observed where the girl was going each night, when she left them. And he headed in that direction to see if he could find any trace of her.
“Find anything yet?”
Father stopped and whirled around. There stood a military man, leaning against one of the house’s walls. He had short black hair and white gloves with a transmutation symbol on each. Next to him stood two other’s in the same uniform. Both were female however, one of them with long blond hair, and the other with the same short hair as the man. Father stood up straight and faced them fully.
“What are you doing out here?” Father asked, with Pride and Envy beside him.
“What Edward Elric was doing the night you sent someone to kill him,” Olivier Armstrong replied in a rough tone.
“Well I can tell you that you’ll not get any more than he got,” Envy said with a laugh.
“And why is that?” Roy Mustang asked.
“Because you will evidently meet the same fate,” Father smiled maliciously.
“We’ll see,” Maria Ross said with a smirk.
Roy Mustang was quick to light a fire in Father’s face, Olivier pulled out her sword and began slashing at Envy, and Maria pulled out her gun to shoot at Pride. But Father wasn’t like the other homunculi. He blocked Roy’s attacks with his own force field. He was shocked, but he wasn’t thrown off for more than a second. Roy sent more fire at Father, but only with the same result.
Olivier was having a hard time blocking and slashing at Envy, whilst he continuously kicked and punched. She had no time to attack, only defend. It was getting her nowhere, and every chance she got she quickly looked around for something to hit Envy with. She made a mistake then, and was knocked off her feet by one of Envy’s powerful blows.
Envy then jumped up and landed right on top of Olivier, breaking some of her ribs inside. Blood was seeping through her clothes, and she gave a cry of agony. Envy smiled, and beat her to death.
Maria was shooting at Pride, but it seemed to have no effect. Pride was a shadow, and everything that hit him he absorbed. He lashed at her then, sending a spike through her gut. Blood came pouring out, and she dropped her gun. She fell to the floor, gripping her wound with her eyes closed tight. Pride came over and finished her off, by sending another spike through her head.
Father then rushed at Roy with all his might and brought him down. Roy fell, leaving blood to come out of his mouth. But that didn’t stop him. He sent more fire at Father, each hitting its mark, but all never touching Father.
“Why don’t you fight like a man?” Roy shouted at him.
“Because I’m not a man!”
Father went for one last blow to Roy, watching him fly through the air. Roy landed with a thud, and a broken arm. Father stepped closer, slowly, creating tension. When he bent down to Roy, he smiled.
“You’re sick, you know that?” Roy said, gasping for air in his lungs.
“Am I? We’ll see about that.”
Father stood up and pulled out a sword from the ground. Roy looked up with wide eyes, and realized his death was nigh. Father raised the blade, and brought it down into Roy’s gut, leaving a fountain of blood pouring from the wound.
He pulled out the blade, and let it fade as the alchemy was wearing. He turned to his homunculus, but was confronted by a man. He had a scar on his face, in the shape of an X. Lust had told him of this man, and he assumed that he was the cause of most of his homunculi deaths.
“So, decided to come after me too eh?” Father said with a wry smile.
“I’ve decided to pass judgment on those who commit crimes.”
“Well then, you’ll have to find a better man. You’ll have a hard time passing judgment on me.”
“We’ll see old man.”
The scar faced man was quicker than Father, and he was unable to procure a field before the man grabbed him arm. It exploded as the alchemy surged through his right arm. The man jumped back, and Father gave out a groan. He held his arm, as it formed back into place. Envy and Pride were running to Father’s help then, but not fast enough.
“You have made a mistake, scar man-”
The scarred man was at him again, this time grasping his stomach. The philosopher’s stone inside, surged with energy. He used his alchemy on his right arm then, destroying the stone that held Father together.
Father looked shocked, and fell to his knees.
“No,” He said. “No. This, this can’t be. Y-you mortals can’t…”
“May God have mercy on your soul,” The scare faced man said, leaving Father to die in the dirt.
Father fell to the ground, his body disintegrating. He looked forward, at Roy’s body. The man he’d killed before he died. Roy was still conscious, enough to turn to Father and manage a smile. They both died then, Father’s remains blowing away with the wind.
Envy and Pride looked on in horror. The scarred man was gone, apparently only after Father tonight. They both gave each other scared looks. Suddenly they heard something behind them. They turned to see a little girl bent down to the bodies of those they’d killed.
She looked to be about ten, and had a weird cat thing on her shoulder. She looked up at them, looking angry and sad.
“You did this!” She cried, pointing at them.
“Look little girl, we don’t want more of a mess here. So run along before we have to kill you too,” Envy said, waving her away.
Suddenly there were knifes circled around them. The girl had her hands on the ground in a circle of the same knife formation, except smaller. It glowed for a second, then Envy and Pride were flung into the air and the earth turned against them and shot them sky high.
They landed hard. Envy stood up wearily, red sparks appearing here and there on his body.
“That’s it little girl, you’ve done it.”
Envy ran at her, but not fast enough as she did another bit of alchemy and shot spikes through his skin. He gave out a cry of pain. Pride got up then, and ran at the girl. She barely had enough time to think, and formed a dome around the boy.
Then she walked closer to Envy, with a satisfied look about her.
“Why did you do that?” She asked.
“For fun really,” Envy replied, managing a malicious smile.
“You’ll pay, you’ll all pay!”
“Hmm, we’ll see.”
Envy suddenly broke free of his bond and grabbed the girl’s throat. He squeezed tight, as she groped at his arms, trying to free herself.
“Pathetic.”
Envy tossed down her body, and broke a hole through Pride’s prison. Pride walked out and looked about. He saw the girl’s body, and the rest of them.
“We’d better get out of here.”
“Yeah, we’ll try and make a plan tomorrow,” Envy said, walking back to the inn they’d been staying in.
***
In the morning when the town got out of their homes, they saw all the bodies. There were three military bodies and a body of a little girl. When the wounded girl appeared again they all stepped back.
“They’ve struck again,” She said, examining them.
“But, this time there’s no dust,” Furie said, shaking with fear.
“No, it blew away,” She stood up. “Have you noticed your numbers? There are only eleven of you?”
They stayed silent.
“I’ll be back at dusk.”
And the girl left them once more, as was her ritual now for them.
