The house shakes and pieces of its wood clatter to the ground. Gluttony's body had opened up, the teeth now long like tusks.

Riza points one of her pistols at the homunculus, but hearing the wood next to her move she pulls out another one.

Al pushes the wood from on top of him, Knox, the colonel, and the little panda. "Colonel!"

"Lieutenant!" Ripping the panda from his face. "Don't provoke him! I'm the one he wants!"

"Mustang!" Sending another burst from his mouth. Knocking away the broken up timber you join Ed, Al, and Roy.

Roy rips off his gloves. "Let's go, we have to bring him down." He states. "But we worked so hard to catch one of the homunculi!" Al exclaimed.

"Survival is our first priority. Besides, he knows our names and faces now, it would be foolish to let him leave here alive." Snapping his fingers, a spark flying towards gluttony and lighting him on fire.

Gluttony screams in agony before the thing inside of his stomach sucks in the fire.

"He swallowed it?" The four of you deadpanned at the sight. "Uh oh."

Jumping out of the way as the teeth shot forward.

"Hey, that worked well!" Ed claimed sarcastically, all of you running through the woods. "Think you can do better? Be my guest!"

"Or we could just leave you behind, Colonel, you're the one he really wants!" Al proclaimed. "Those trees over there, spread out!" You shouted in demand.

The four of you split up and Gluttony only following after Roy.

Gluttony's raged screams echoed through the forest. All of you back at the destroyed cabin with an injured roy. "Perfect, he fell for the mustang decoy."

"Doesn't sound like he's very happy about it." Al observed.

"Alright, now get in the car." Tossing Roy into the back seat. "Lieutenant, please take care of lan fan." order the blonde woman who nodded.

"You expect me to run away and leave this to you three!" Roy shouted in complaint.

"If you stay you'll just get in our way!" Ed yelled.

"Yeah, leave!" You and Al shouted.

"They're right, you won't be of any use here. Sorry." Riza agreed.

Roy slumped forward at her words, defeated.

"Right now you need to go and do your job." You stated, crossing your arms.

"The head of the military is a homunculus don't you think you should do something about that?" Ed added on.

"The head of the military? You aren't talking about Fuhrer Bradley are you?" Riza questioned. "We can talk about it later. Now get in!"

Glancing at each other the three boys nod at each other. "The car looks full, you go ahead." With Ed's words your blood froze.

"What?" A look of fear striking over features.

"You dumbasses!" Doctor Knox exclaimed. "You can't believe we'll let a couple of children fight this battle for us." Riza shouted.

"With the senior staff involved in this you're gonna need all the help you can get." Ling claimed. "And that would include getting whatever information we can out of this gluttony guy wouldn't you say?"

"We'll stay here and find out what we can. I don't think it matters that much that we're children." Al remarked. "WE?" You squeaked out looking between the Elric brothers.

Confident looks strike over their features. "This was our mission to begin with and we're going to see it through. We appreciate your help up till now though."

A gun clicks and Riza holds one out the window.

"Here Edward, I want you to take this, you do know how to use it don't you?"

His eyes widen slightly and lets out a huffed breath, wearily staring down at the gun. "That's a weapon, for killing people." Al said.

"Yes, but it's also a weapon for protecting your lives." Riza countered.

You've seen many guns in your lifetime. Most of the time used for violence against others, but nonetheless out of protection of something.

Hesitantly Ed took the firearm. "I'll take it." The ground rumbled making everyone gasp.

Looking over your shoulders you all noticed blasts of red lightning coming closer from in the woods.

"Look after Lan Fan." Ling requested, leaning down into the car's window.

Gulping nervously you tried to jump for the car. "Wait! Take me with you!" Al's metal arms wrapped around your waist bringing you along with the others as they ran into the woods.

"Come on [y/n], we need you." Setting you down and setting into a running pace.

"But he's fat and scary." You sniffled, connecting the pieces of your clima-tact together as you chased after the boys.

As Gluttony blasted through the forest, the ground and trees in the way were dug up and cut clean in half.

Hiding behind some trees and bushes you watch as gluttony comes to a stop. "Mustang. Where are you, mustang? You killed lust, you will pay!" His eyes a glowing red, slobber flying from his tongue.

Angered roars echoing through the forest.

The four of you quivered in fear behind the nature of the forest, hugging Ed's automail arm to your chest watching as Gluttony stalked around.

"I know I said we'd stay and all but that's seriously freaky." The four of you shaking as you stared at the homunculus.

"He seems to be a bit angry." Ling commented. "How are we gonna catch him?" Al questioned, the panda quaking as it sat on his helmet.

Xiao-mei squeals, her fur standing on end at a rustling sound coming from behind.

Ling pulls his blade out. "What was that?!" You squealed, covering your eyes with the blondes arm.

Slowly peeking over his sleeve you spot a few yards in the distance a bog with glowing red eyes staring intensely at the four of you.

"A dog?" Al questioned in confusion. "Stop it now, gluttony!" It spoke in a raspy voice.

"A talking dog!" Ed perplexed, rubbing your shoulder as you slowly stood up. "Hey, long time no see." It grinned.

The came red lightning zapped around the dog before a teenage man wearing black. "How are ya', fullmetal pipsqueak?"

"Dammit! I told you before, don't call me short!" Charging forward and kicking at the newly appeared homunculus.

Raising a hand to your chin you began pondering over your thoughts.

If this Homunculus can shape shift does that mean Chopper is some sort of Homunculi?

"This is all so weird." Shaking your head.

Dodging the homunculus held his hands out in defense.

"Hey calm down! I'm just here to get gluttony back, nothing more than that! I don't want to fight you!" He claimed.

Leaping onto a tree branch as Ed punched the tree that was behind him.

"What are you talking about?" Not hear what he had said during his small attack.

"Five times, you've called me pipsqueak twice here and three times in the laboratory! Don't tell me you've forgotten already!?"

"Impressive, you've got a sharp memory." The long haired homunculus jumped off the branch as gluttony came running over to him. "Hold it!" Ed demanded.

"You're becoming bothersome." He scolded gluttony. "Mustang was here. Must avenge lust! Swallow, swallow, swallow him up!"

"You don't get the colonel or the Elric brothers." He explained making Gluttony whine. "Why not?"

Ed came back from the hill where he had attacked envy, joining your side.

Ling smirked, stepping out from behind you, glaring at Envy. "I've sensed this small complicity before. How many people are inside you, homunculus?"

"I know you. You're the kid who crossed swords with wrath aren't you?" Envy smirked, leaning against gluttony's slouched body.

"What do you mean kid? I happen to be the 12th son of the emperor of xing! My name is-" Ling proclaimed.

Envy places a hand onto Gluttony's head the homunculus perked up. "Eat him."

His eyes widening he takes off through the woods and chanting out 'no' Ling tries to run away from the gluten.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ed smirked up at his brother, cracking his knuckles. "Looks like they really aren't allowed to do anything to the two of us."

"But they're still allowed to do whatever they want to with me." You butted in, pushing the two apart, hands on your hips.

"In that case." Ling and Gluttony came running back as Ed clapped his hands together and placing them onto the ground a wall came between the two.

"Ling you get that one!" He ordered, pointing towards Envy who shared his side of the wall.

Following his orders you and the brothers chased Gluttony, leaving Ling alone with Envy.

—

It was tiring to chase after Gluttony. Sending multiple thundering attacks his way only for him to absorb them and basically 'eat' them in a way.

Finally you all surrounded him and alchemy sparks surged through the ground and the homunculus was captured in a well made by the short blonde. "Nice! Got it!"

Rushing over you all look down into the darkness of the alchemy-made-well the three of you fall back quickly fall and roll back, Gluttony shooting out of the containment.

"Huh, that was a close one." He huffed, shaking the ground with his landing. "I've had enough of you!" Ed exclaimed, attacking the homunculus.

Gluttony dodged the kicks and punches. "Get away, I can't eat you, just let me take a bite of the girl!" Running up behind him you pin him against you with your clima-tact.

"Not today!" Grabbing you by the straps of your orange overalls he chucks you over his shoulders and towards the blonde.

Shouting, the two of you collided, breaking through the wall that kept you from Ling's battle against envy.

"Stay out of my way guys, I'm busy!"

Dodging one of Envy's attacks and slicing through his leg.

Hearing Envy's pained groan you perked up, hair flipping onto your back.

You notice the prince tense up and stop from stabbing the homunculus as he turns into the image of Lan Fan.

"Go for it, gluttony!" Gasping your eyes widen as you quickly get up from the flustered teen you.

Racing forward Ed quickly follows behind, grabbing the crossed straps of your overalls.

"Ling!" You exclaim, arm wrapping around his neck trying to pull him out of the way.

Sending out balls of hot and cold air you go to send an attack as a dark cloud grows above the homunculus.

Envy jumped forward, taking hold of the staff as gluttony sent out a shock wave.

Trees that have had their trunks hollowed snapping in half as everything in the blast's path being sucked into his never ending stomach, leaving him and Al alone in the forest with Envy's dissolving lower half.

"Swallowed them?" Placing a confused finger on his lips.

Stomping over Al tackled the homunculus to the ground by the tusked teeth of his stomach.

"Brother! [y/n]! Ling! You spit them out, spit them out now!" He demanded.

"I can't I swallow them." The teeth disappeared back into his body as the opening on his belly sealed up, locking four of you inside.

"Impossible. It can't be. Brother, [y/n]."

His fist punched the ground as he began to scream.

Your soft and weak groans echo through the empty abyss of gluttony stomach.

Brown-amber eyes snap open as you quickly sit up, gripping onto your clima-tact.

"Where am I?" Glancing down at the splashing. "Blood? Gross!" Standing up quickly, blood staining your outfit.

Glancing around at all of the structures and random things taking up barely any of the dark space.

"Ed! Al?... Ling?"
