And so the errand is run... Heh heh.
I just hope I got the New Pride's personality correct... If not, then note from this point on there will be some terrible Out of Character activity. Seriously Out of Character.

chapter two
Pride watched the light in Roy Mustang's office go out. With a smirk of pure evil intent, he rushed towards the gate, zipping up the blue jumpsuit he wore. He took to a halt just as he reached the door to place his hat on top of his black hair, and straightened the tool belt he wore on his waist.
'This is going to be easier than I thought,' he sneered mentally.
With that, he trotted inside merrily, clearing his throat so as to sound less like him. He approached the receptionist at the front desk near the phone. He thought he was going to be able to walk right past him, but he was caught.
"State your business," the older man at the desk said. His voice was gruff and yet he didn't seem to mean business.
"I was called to fix a laght on the third flour? And alsa I h'erd 'bout some kinder mess up thar near them toy-lets.. Them boys said som'n reeeal bad was a goin' on..." Pride told him, sounding as obnoxious as he could possibly without seeming too obvious.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just get done quick." the receptionist droned, waving him off. He seemed to be annoyed of Pride's mere presence.
"Heh. I wonder if they're all this easy," Pride muttered. He took out his hammer and turned it over in his hand a time or two.
"What'd you say?" the man behind the desk asked.
"Mmmm... Nothin'." Pride said before hitting the man with the hammer on the side of his head, killing him.
"I guess they are," Pride answered himself as he walked to the stairs, whistling.
As he neared the corner of the hall, Pride gazed with narrowed eyes at a sign on the wall. It had a picture of a blonde boy with a braid on it. He looked determined...and really short.
"So that's who I used to be?" Pride asked once more aloud as he read the name 'Edward Elric' on the sign.
Pride's whole mission was simple. He had been born a homonculus, be had been told that every homonculus was once someone human. He had decided to find out who he was, since all he knew was that he was created from a man named Edward Elric.
Pride didn't know bird-crap about any Edward Elric, but he had gotten a good idea of where to look. And so there he was, at the State Alchemist's Headquarters.
"I'm gonna go and steal Edward Elric's file," Pride had told the others, them being Lust, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth. AN: Remember, this happens after the series is over. Envy went through the Gate. Greed was killed by Ed. He remembered how they had poked at him, telling him that Edward Elric wasn't important in the least.
Pride frowned at the memory, but continued on. He found the door that led into the room, and smiled. He transformed his pointing finger into a knife, which he used to jiggy the lock. After that, the door opened quite easily.
The file cabinet was huge. He groaned. He didn't want to read all of that! He just wanted a summary, or something like that. Plus, he didn't have time to read all that. He wanted to be back with the others as soon as he could.
So, he found an alternate source to obtain the information he wanted. He had noticed that a computer monitor was on a desk next to him, and so he opened a browser window.
Data flooded across his gaze, and he attempted to absorb it all. Hundreds of screens, thousands of new windows appearing before his eyes. He read every word, memorized every picture and event.
'So I was...a State Alchemist? I was the FullMetal Alchemist? I had a brother... I tried to bring my mom back from the dead... I was killed by Envy. Heh I always did hate that bast...! Huh!? Envy was my brother?' Pride's mind was drowning in thoughts. It was all so confusing.
"I've had enough. I know who I was now... I know enough to satify my hunger for knowledge now. I'll be back, though. I haven't finished school yet," Pride told himself aloud with an edge to his voice. He left the monitor as it was and walked out of the door in which he had entered.
On the way out, Pride took a last look at the dead man behind the desk. He reached into his pocket and relieved him of all of his money.
"This will suffice fer mah humble duties, sir." Pride told the corpse in his annoying accent. He gave the body a final whack with the hammer for good measure before leaving to go rub it in the other's faces about how he didn't get caught.
