Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Bluebird's Fantasy ❯ Wrath vs.Envy? ( Chapter 5 )

The sound of fighting woke Wrath up. “Gluttony?” she called, getting up slowly. Best to see what was going on, Gluttony wasn't the greatest fighter because of his speed, or lack thereof. Gluttony was lying dead on his stomach, a spear thrust through one of his energy points, the red lines and dots that went down his arms. Three of them were on Wrath's back and there were two on her hands and arms. Shoving anything through any of those points would disrupt the flow of their regeneration power, either leaving them unable to move or momentarily dead. To avoid getting hit herself, she ran swiftly to pull out the spear before facing Gluttony's attackers.

That…that face…it couldn't…it couldn't possibly be… The girl facing them holding the spear that Sensei had thrown at the fat guy, looked exactly the same as Rena. Golden eyes, pale blonde hair, pretty face, but the girl wore relatively tight skimpy clothing and her body was covered in an alchemy array marked in blood red upon her skin. “Rena…” whispered Sensei, staring at the spitting image of her student.

No it couldn't be her.

Sakura had covered her mouth in a gasp of horror and was shaking her head in shock. She refused to believe it. What could have possibly happened to her? She was so different, yet the same. There was no recognition in those eyes, no smile or care free, confident grin…there was no Rena in those dull golden eyes. “Rena…who is that?” asked the girl holding the spear.

“Silly girl, that's you!” exclaimed Sensei.

The girl raised an eyebrow, reminiscent of Rena.

“I am?”

“Of course you are, now let's go home now Okay?”

Suddenly, the big fat man got up, and pointed at Sensei.

“Can I eat that one? Can I Wrath? Can I?” he asked the girl, practically bouncing up and down with excitement.

The girl seemed to seriously consider it.

“Yeah, I suppose, I don't see why not…” she said, but before she even finished, the fat guy had already charged at them.

“Sakura, get back!” shouted Sasuke, pushing her backwards. “Sensei and I will fight them.”

“But!” started Sakura, but Sasuke silenced her with a wave of his arm.

“That's not Rena…as much as it looks like her, it's not HER!” he roared creating himself a spear to fight with the one who looked like his little sister.

 

The black haired one had created a spear and obviously intended to fight with her. In her head, she labeled him Kuro-chibi-san, Black shorty. He looked like he was older than her, but he was shorter than her, the woman fighting with Gluttony, she labeled Sensei, as that seemed to be her name. Wrath glanced at the spear she was holding. She didn't like spears. Clapping her hands together, she touched the spear, deciding to turn it into her more preferred weapon. Holding it up in one hand, she prepared to turn this short guy into mincemeat.

 

He was surprised when she performed a transmutation on the spear without doing anything other than clapping her hands together. He was even more surprised to see the girl's preferred weapon. It was a humongous scythe! She held it in one hand easily, she seemed to be waiting for him to make the first move. Well, since she's waiting for it, might as well give it to her, he thought, charging at her. His eyes widened in shock when the girl simply vanished from his sight. He whirled on instinct, getting only grazed deeply by the girl's scythe instead of being severed in half. Her dull golden eyes, widened only slightly at his move. She didn't expect him to be able to dodge that.

“You're not that bad,” she said, looking at his injury, “I didn't expect you to be able to avoid that swipe.”

God his side hurt…

“You're pretty fast…but don't get cocky!” he said suddenly charging at her. Once again, she wasn't there when he looked. A sharp pain in his leg, informed him that she had moved to his side. He tried to whirl around to face her, but a sharp swipe that just grazed him from behind, telling him that she had moved again. He dropped to one knee gasping for breath. She was standing in front of him, resting the scythe's blade against the ground.

“You're just a human…there's no way you can keep up with me,” she said blandly, she clapped her hands together, dissolving the scythe.

“Who are you?” he gasped, he didn't want to think this was his little sister…

“My name is Wrath…” she started, then seemed to peer at him closer, her eyes seemed to look at him, like they recognized him.

“I've seen you before…” she started softly.

“Huh?” he said confused.

“The military building…you…you're…”

“What?”

“You're the one who killed Greed-san…” she said, whirling around and punching the ground with her right arm. In an explosion of golden sparks and the crackle of golden electricity, fissures and spikes burst out of the ground. Sasuke stayed where he was too shocked to move, as the girl reached for his face with her right hand.

“IDIOT!” roared two voices simultaneously, Sensei shoving him out of the way and a green haired youth wearing something similar to the girl's ramming her.

 

Both he and Greed were glad they had come. Gluttony had been getting massacred, until Greed stepped into the fight between that woman and the fat idiot. The woman ran away as soon as she noticed Wrath about to murder the military kid from before. Envy decided to interfere as well, tackling the idiot blonde girl to the ground. He was in a bad mood. Gluttony came over, munching on he didn't want to know what, and just got Envy in a worse one.

“Can I eat that?”

Envy knocked him down with a fist and started jumping on the brainless buffoon's stomach.

“NO YOU CAN'T!!!” he roared.

 

The strange antics of the oddly dressed people had their undivided attention. All of these people seemed to know each other.

“This is SO weird!!” exclaimed Sakura, pulling at her hair.

Her sudden exclamation caused the weird people to finally notice them. Sensei decided to speak first.

“Who are you, and what did you do to Rena?”

Two of them, the ones who had just shown up exchanged looks.

“Ummm… You tell them.”

“Why?”

“Because I'm older than you and I'm telling you to,” said the one who looked like a teenager to the man.

“Aren't the rules: Kill everyone?”

“Father changed them. We're supposed to explain nicely…”

“Oh…”

“Oh indeed! So you tell them!”

“Tell them yourself palm tree!”

“FINE BLOCKHEAD!” roared the green haired one.

“BRING IT ON SKIRT BOY!”

“Excuse me…” interjected Sakura. The two looked at her.

“Weren't you going to explain who you were and what you're doing here?”

“Oh,” said the green one, “We're here to take these two idiots back home.”

“And what did you do to Rena-chan?”

“Oh…we remade her, well not us, but Father did.”

“What…What are you then…?”

The man looked down at the teenager wearing the skirt.

“I told you no one believed we exist anymore.”

“Shut up.”

“We are Homunculuseses!” laughed the fat one called Gluttony, who was running in circles.

Sasuke's and Sensei's eyes widened in shock, and they stared at the one that looked like Rena.

“So…so that's…so that's MY SISTER??!” he roared trying to charge at them. Sensei grabbed his arms and twisted them behind his back. What? he thought. Sensei wouldn't do that to him! Then he noticed that there were two Sensei's; one staring in shock at the one holding his arms behind his back.

“Wrong…Her name is Wrath, and she's mine now,” grinned the sensei double, turning into the green haired Homunculus.

“My name is Envy, and you'd be that pesky Major Kusanagi, I have to thank you for killing Greed that time,” he turned towards Gluttony, “and Gluttony, the plural of Homunculus, is Homunculi, not Homunculuseses.”

“Oh…Homunculuses!” said the fat guy.

The man with sunglasses patted the fat one on the head.

“Can we go now palm tree? We're going to get a scolding from the old man this time…”

The one called Envy glared at Sasuke.

“No thanks for the new nickname,” he growled, moving away from him to stand beside the one that looked like Rena.

“Alright! Let's go!” shouted the sunglasses one, and they vanished.

 

“What on Earth happened back there?” wondered Sasuke, as Sakura bandaged his leg.

“You're asking me? I want to know what's gotten into that girl's head!” roared Sensei.

Sasuke chanced a glance at his teacher's face. Judging from that look, she wanted to beat whatever had gotten into Rena's head out of it. His sister was a Homunculus…did that mean she had died a long time ago?

 

Envy was silent ever since they moved back to the underground. Wrath didn't like it. Was he mad at her for that graveyard incident? He probably was… She sat down by his feet at the couch. Without looking up she apologized to nothing in specific.

“Envy-san…I'm sorry…”

“You're what?”

“I'm sorry…” she said softly.

“Oh…well, sure apology accepted.”

“You're…you're not mad at me?” she asked surprised.

“Keep bugging me and I will be!”

“Sorry…”
