1- Let The Games Begin

(This chapter takes place towards the end of Episode 14, when original Greed dies)

“And if I were to ask you to return and work for me again?” says the man who is known as 'Father' sitting down calmly on a stone chair in the shadows.

“Never!” yells Greed, who is chained to a rock dangling in midair above Wrath. While staring down at the man after he gave him his answer.

“As you wish. Insanity my child, I’m sorry to disrupt you but would you come here for a moment please” he calls out for his boy Insanity.

Somewhere else, far deeper in the Homunculus lair there sits giant cages, in the farthest one lays Insanity sitting on the head of what looks to be a dog like chimera three times bigger than himself. The only thing different from this chimera is that it is dead, ripped in half with its own blood splattered over all the walls. Insanity lifts his head, after he hears his Father’s call, and jumps off the right side of the dead beast's head landing on his bare feet in the blood covering what use to be the floor, making quite a big splash that reaches the top of the cage.

With his hands in the pockets of his coat, he continues his journey through the bath of blood towards the door of the cell. Opening the door by grabbing one of the bars with his bloody right hand, he closes it and walks straight down the hall he had walked down only forty minutes ago. While heading towards Father he walks past all the other chimeras, his shadow walking past all them making them put their backs up against the farthest wall of their cages shivering in fear. Leaving a trail of blood covered footsteps as he walked along.

“You called for me Father?” asked the curious boy walking out of the shadows and towards his Father and siblings.

After hearing Insanity's question, all the Homunculi turned their heads but they were not surprised to see what he looked like. They all scanned him from head to toe seeing that he was drenched in blood, his cloths and skin looked like he had just bathed in blood. With the blood came the foul odour of fresh death that clung on to him.

Envy was the first to make a comment with an annoyed voice to it, “Ugh…Come on Insanity, why did you have to show up looking like that. Couldn't you be a bit cleaner?”

“I have to agree with Envy. You can't keep showing up drenched in blood with the smell of death on you.” Lust says, turning around so she didn't have to look at him.

“H-h-he smells good. Can I eat what you killed, please?” Gluttony asked with his finger in his mouth, slurping up the drool that was dripping out of his mouth.

“I simply don't care what my siblings think of me. I was just trying to cease my boredom with some fun, but it seems that I failed at that. ” Insanity spoke after hearing the comments. He walked over to the man that summoned him a few minutes ago still leaving a trail of wet blood with his feet.

“You summoned me?” Insanity asked looking at the back over his Father's chair.

“I had. Take a look at the man above Wrath.” He commanded pointing a finger at Greed, who Insanity hasn’t noticed yet.

“Hay there, Insanity the Vesania. It’s been a long time since I last saw you, and you still look the exact same on the day that I left. Soaked in your toy's own blood with no care in the world.” Greed spoke to his younger brother.

As Insanity heard his older brother's voice he hasn't heard for one hundred years, he turns to face him with a plank look on his face and spoke with no feeling in his voice, “Indeed it has been awhile, hasn't it big brother Greed. Are you here to try and make me one of your possessions again?”

“I've offered you that a bunch of times and you always turn them down, but if you ever change your mind the opportunity is still open.” Greed answered his question with a smile on his face and his head up high.

“Insanity,” Father calls to get his son's attention. “I called you here so I can show you what happens to someone who disobeys their Father.”

With that said, gears from below the floor started to move and from the ground rises a stone container filled with boiling molten metal that is now placed right below Greed.

“Jeez, talk about cheesy.” Greed commented as he was lowered down to the substance.

As soon as Greed touched the substance, all Insanity could hear were the screams and comments of the liquid from his brother. Insanity didn't show it, but was surprised that his Father would do something like that to his own son. Even though Greed got on Insanity’s nerves a lot, he always saw him as one of his many toys and enjoyed playing with him. He watched on as his brother was about to be no more, the last thing he heard form Greed was his laugh that faded away soon after.

“I propose a toast my children, I should drink to the Promise Day and to your undying loyalty.” He spoke holding the glass that held Greed in front of Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath and Insanity. He then drank every last drop of Greed.

Soon after that, they all left to do what they were doing before. But before Insanity could return to find something to cease his boredom, “Insanity, before you leave, I have one last thing to tell you.” His Father called for him one last time.

Insanity walked so that he was in front of him and asked “What else is there Father?”

“I’ve realised that you have been behaving yourself for the last few years, and I'm quite proud of you. I'm also proud of you for taking care of Central for all these years.” He commented to the boy in front of him.

“Of course Father, Central is the toy box that you gave me. I would take care of it as if it was my life.” Insanity was pleased to be making his Father proud of him.

“Since you showed me that you can take care of Central on your own, I would like to give you another gift that is greater than Central.” With what Father said, it surprised Insanity. To think that he is giving him something greater than Central, he only wonders what it could be.

“Greater than Central, what’s greater than Central?” Insanity asked getting a bit impatient.

“I would like to hand you Amestris as your new toy box.” He answered, knowing that Insanity would be more then pleased to get a much bigger toy box.

Insanity was more than excited to get a toy box that size. He couldn’t hold back the smile that appeared on his face show his shape teeth similar to Greed’s teeth.

Seeing his smile that he only shows when he is more the pleased, he knows that Insanity will make him even more proud of him.

“Thank you Father, I will take care of Amestris better than I did with Central.” Insanity said with his sharp toothed smile turning into a devilish smirk, thinking of all the fun he is going to have with all his brand new toys he just got.

Putting a hand on Insanity’s shoulder Father spoke his last words of the day to him, “You know that out of my seven children now, you are the one that meets my full expectations and with this you will reach a new level that your siblings can’t even reach. Make me proud to call you my favourite child, Insanity.”

And with that Insanity turned on his heels and walked back to his own personal area (room) with all his stuff. There he sits right down cross-legged in the middle of the room facing a tower of chess boards. He quietly stares at the one of the levels and smirks again.

“It sure was nice of Father to give me a bigger toy box,” he said in a whisper making sure that no one was around, “but it was unfortunate that I lost one of my good toys today.” As he was saying that, he took one the black pawns chess pieces in his hand, and crushing it. Letting the dust of what was the piece fall to the ground.

“Oh well, maybe I can find an even better one somewhere else.” He said, and not even a second later he remembers something important, “That’s right, I still need to find one to replace my favourite, the one they took and locked up, but I won’t keep it for long because if I know him he will be out of there quite soon.” Thinking of how wonderful it’s going to be he starts to chuckle turning it into a full on laugh.
