Homunculi On The Homefront

"This is Middleton, my hometown. We're going to buy some groceries, clothes, and visit our families while we're here." Kim said to us as we entered the mall.

She and Ron were holding hands in their usual manner as Winry, Roy, and Izumi looked around at all the shops.

"Wow, they have everything here." Winry said staring into a mechanic shop.

I replied, "Almost everything, no automail, or automail repair shops."

Winry sighed and said, "Oh well, but there is still plenty of interesting things."

"What do you think Colonel?" I asked.

I look to see he was completely immobilized.

I turned to see there was a lot of girls walking through the mall, nearly all them wearing mini skirts.

He smiled and said, "Thank you Ron and Kim for taking me to heaven!"

Kim and Ron turned around to see Colonel blushing and smiling like a complete idiot.

Kim said, "What's with him?"

I sighed and said, "He has a real thing for girls in mini skirts. Drives him nuts."

Kim raised and eyebrow and said, "Oh. Excuse me for a moment."

She walked up behind the Colonel, slapped him in the back of the head, and said, "Snap out of it Mustang! This is a good way for you to get arrested. Besides we need to get moving, and I don't feel like dragging you!"

Mustang shook his head and said, "Sorry...it's a force of habit."

"Kimmy? Is that you?" I turned around to see a woman with red hair and a lab coat, a man with brown hair and a tie, and a set of twins.

"Mom! Dad! Jim and Tim!" Kim ran up to them and hugged them.

Mrs. Possible smiled and said, "Kimmy it's good to see you sweetie."

Mr. Possible walked up to Ron and said, "It's good to see you again, Ronald."

The twins ran up to me and tackled me. "AHHHHHHHHH!" I yelled as they got off of me.

They smiled at me and said, "You have two metal limbs. Did you know that?"

I responded, "YES! I KNOW! NOW GET OFF ME!"

The one dresses in red said, "Man, he's really short tempered for a kid."

I yelled, "I'M NOT A KID! I'M SIXTEEN!"

Kim ran over covered their mouths and said, "Don't get him mad, tweebs."

They looked at Kim's hands, and the one in green said, "Kim what's is with your the marks on your hands? Did you lose a bet and have to get tattoos?"

Kim looked down and realized she had forgot to put on her gloves.

Her parents glared at her and said, "Kimberly Anne Possible, what do you have to say for yourself?"

She looked down and said, "It's a really long story."

She looked like she needed a bit of an assist, so I stepped up and said, "Hello I'm Edward Elric, I been teaching your daughter and Ron, in Amestrian history. This is Roy Mustang, an associate of mine in history. This is Mrs. Izumi Curtis, my teacher who is here to see how I've progress in teaching, and this is Winry Rockbell, a family friend of mine. Kim has been showing us around Middleton."

Kim smiled and put on her gloves as fast as she could.

Mr. Possible smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Elric, but I do have two questions for you."

I raised an eyebrow and said, "Sure."

"First off, aren't you a little young to be a teacher in collage?"

I nearly fell to the floor in embarrassment.

Winry stepped up and said, "Ed is a literal genius. Graduated collage a the age of ten. Afterwards they hired him in the history department."

Thank you Winry. She always seem to be on the same page I was on sometimes.

Mr. Possible nodded and said, "Alright that's one down. Now the boys said you have metal limbs?"

I sighed and said, "I loss two of my limbs in an chemical accident. As for them being metal, Winry is an experimental prosthetic designer and created a limbs that move, even the fingers."

I said pulling off my glove, revealing my automail.

I wiggled my fingers as proof. They stared at my metal appendages.

Winry stepped up and said, "It's called automail."

Mrs. Possible smiled and said, "This technology will revolutionize the world of prosthetics."

Winry smiled and said, "It's still a work in progress, but I hope it will do some real good."

Izumi stepped forward and said, "Enough talk. We need to move. Now."

Ron turned to Izumi, "What's happening?"

Izumi replied quietly, "There a man with an ouroboros tattoo on his hand, right over there."

Wait, ouroboros tattoo on his hand. Ling? Or Greed? Or whatever the hell his name is!

I turned around and said quietly, "It's ok. Its' just Ling."

He walked over nice and smooth and said, "I told you, my name is Greed."

Kim and Ron almost immediately jogged up to him. The looked at him carefully.

Kim smiled and said, "So your a homunculus? Is true you can't die?"

I said, "Not the best place to be asking questions you two! Can we please talk alone?"

They nodded and walked back over to the Possibles.

I looked toward Greed and asked, "What are you doing here?"

He looked at me and said, "Be on your guard, Envy and Gluttony are both here. And Envy got herself a new body."

"Wait, don't you mean himself?" I said.

"No Envy has a woman's body now, so it herself." Greed said with a sigh.

Envy a woman? Okay, this is really weird.

"Thanks for the tip."

He smiled and said, "I'll join up with you later, but right now I need to trick Envy to think I'm still on her side."

He waved his hand and walked away.

Mr. Possible walked up to us and asked, "So, does anyone want pizza for lunch?"

Oh my god! This stuff is amazing!

They never had this stuff in Amestris, but I wish they did.

I looked at the colonel, and Winry as they walk and ate the pizza.

Winry smiled and said, "We have to make this for Al when.."

Mrs. Possible looked over and said, "Who's Al?"

I smiled and said, "Al is my little brother, who been in the hospital for a long time."

She nodded and said, "Sorry to hear that. Why is he in there?"

I picked up a the last piece of pizza and said, "He had his entire body cover in chemical burns from the accident."

She nodded and said, "That must have been some chemical to do that to you two."

I nodded. I continued to walk while eating my last piece when, this girl ran up to us.

She had tan skin with light brown hair and bright blue eyes.

She had on a black tank top, a black mini skirt, and a pair of high heels.

She walked up to Kim and said, "Hey Kim! Long time, no see!"

Kim looked at her replied, "Bonnie? What are you doing here?"

She smiled and said, "A little bit of shopping."

She smiled and asked, "So what are you doing here and who are your handsome friends?"

I looked at Kim as she introuduced us, until Mustang nudged my shoulder.

"Yes she wearing a mini skirt, I know."

"Fullmetal." I looked at Colonel.

He said in full seriousness, "Look at her right leg."

I turned my head to Bonnie and saw what he meant.

The ourobourus tatto on her leg, means that this girl is Envy.

I ran up in front of Kim and said, "Kim get back!"

Kim looked at me and asked, "Ed what are you doing? It's just Bonnie."

I looked at her in dead seriousness and said, "That's not Bonnie."

Bonnie laughed and said, "I thought I have more time before you figured me out pipsqueak."

I yelled, "WHO YOU CALLIN A PIPSQUEAK?!"

Bonnie yelled out, "Glutteny, dinner is served."

A loud crash came from the ceiling and Glutteny stood behind her. He stuck out his tonuge showing the ourobouros tattoo.

Mrs. Possible yelled, "Bonnie get away from that monster!"

Bonnie laughed and said, "Sorry, but Bonnie has been dead for a long time."

Her hair turned black, her skin turned pail, and her eyes turned blood red.

She smiled and said, "My name is Envy, and I just as much as a monster, as Glutteny is."

Kim yelled, "You guys get back we handle this."

Winry and Kim's family ran into a shop,as the rest of the people in the mall ran out the doors.

Izumi clapped her hands and transmuted spikes from the ground went through them.

I clapped my hands and built a wall behind them.

Mustang pulled out his glove and snapped his fingers and a huge fireball consumed them both.

Mrs. Possible yelled, "What just happend Kimmy?"

"I will explain later." Kim said.

When the fire past they began to get off the spikes. "You know it going to take more than that to kill us."

Envy said as her face regrew.

Ron yelled out, "Well that answers some questions. They are nearly freakin' immortal."

Kim tore off her jacket and gloves revealing tank top and her transmutation circles tattos that goes up to her shoulders.

She yelled, "Well then you will have to face me, The Iron Madien Alchemist!"

She placed her hands on a metal handrailing transmuting into her signature clawed gloves.

The twins yelled out at the same time, "Cool!"

Then Ron put on his gloves, pulled out his chain and said, "And Chain Blade Alchemist!"

He snapped the chain straight and transmuted into his sword.

Envy laughed and said, "Well, well Father did not lie."

The two of them charged forward.

Envy smiled and yelled, "Glutteny now!"

She jumped out of the way as Glutteny open his stomach. The eye opened and in a flash Kim and Ron were gone.

Envy laughed and said, "Now we play the waiting game. Come on Gluttony."

Mrs. Possible ran out and yelled with tears in her eyes, "Kimmy! Come back! Where did you take my daughter? WHERE DID YOU TAKE MY BABY?!"

Envy cackled and said, "Don't worry, they will be back just not in the same way you remember them."

It finally struck me what she saying. "After all the only way out, is through the Truth."

They two homonicii ran off in a flash.

Roy and Izumi ran up to me. Izumi said, "How did you get out of Glutteny the first time?"

I sighed and said, "Envy had a Phisolpher stone we used as payment to get through, but Kim and Ron there only way out is through Truth."

Mrs. Possible ran up to me and said, "What the hell is going on? Who were those people? What the heck was Kim and Ron doing? Answer me!"

I placed my hands on her shoulders and said, "It's a long story, but right now we need to find Glutteny and Envy before it's too late."
