Once again, I'll tell you. If you have a weak stomach, skip this chapter. I am NOT responsible for anybody throwing up or fainting because of this chapter.

"A homunculus! Nice to meet you, my name is Lie." He said with a sneer. "And I'm now in control of Ed's body." Winry took a few shocked steps backward.

"But... How? why didn't you tell me? This... Why keep it a secret after all this time?" Lie laughed.

"Tell you? What makes you think that you're so special? Sure you may be his wife, but he's been keeping so many secrets from you. I bet he doesn't give a damn about you." Winry fell back into a chair, gasping and on the verge of tears.

"Lie, you shut the hell up or I swear I will burn your mouth until you can't say anything at all!" Mustang shouted, pulling on his glove. Lie just laughed. He walked to where Mustang was standing, grabbed him by the collar of his uniform, and yanked on it so that he was right up in Mustang's face.

"What good would that do?" he growled, "I could kill all of you in five seconds flat." Selena clenched her fists and shouted at him.

"Stop it! That's enough, Lie! Give Edward back his body!" Lie just sneered and let go of Mustang. He started towards Selena.

"It's funny, really. you didn't even act the least bit surprised by my appearance." She took a step back.

"Lie, don't-"

"But you already knew, didn't you?" She backed up against the wall.

"I... I... Just shut up!" She cried as Lie drew closer.

"Lieutenant... what is he talking about?" inquired Mustang. She couldn't respond. Lie had pinned her up against the wall, and she was too terrified to say anything.

"Oh, Selena," he said, his face drawing closer, and she whimpered in fear. "Or should I refer to you by your other name?" He leaned in to her ear. "Eh, Lusty?"

"What do you mean? I'm Selena." her lie couldn't hide the tremor in her voice. He rested a hand on the neckline of her shirt, holding it firmly.

"Oh, I was just thinking about... This." and with that he yanked downward, tearing the fabric. "Oops, seems I overshot," he laughed as Selena pulled both sides together, trying to cover up, but it was too late. they had all seen the Ouroboros. Everyone save Lie looked at her in amazement, confusion, and fear. Mustang stepped forward, shocked, almost angry.

"Selena, you're-" she couldn't hide it now.

"Yes... I'm... I'm..." the words caught in her throat. She wanted to say she was a loyal soldier, but how would they believe her now? Lie groaned.

"Come on, woman, just tell him." He wrapped an arm around her, which she rejected. "This girl here is Lust." Selena looked at him with complete hatred.

"You bastard!" She slashed at him unable to hold back much longer, and pinned him to the wall. "You damn bastard," she said through gritted teeth. He laughed, held up one hand, and-

-he stabbed her. with the same powers she had. She let go of him as she stared at her healing wound in disbelief.

"But... how?" Lie sneered.

"You idiot. All the sins can lie. The proud. The hungry. The envious. The lazy. The greedy. And," he pointed a finger at her, "You. But all the same, Lies are sin. Any liar is bound to hurt." He grinned at her, and it was then that she saw his canines. Pointed fangs, like a snake's. "Liars are all going to bite." And with that, he bit her, and she fell to the floor, writhing in pain. Venom. She tried, but she couldn't regenerate. Her souls were rendered useless. Lie beat the hell out of her. stabbing her with Lust's fingers, punching her with Greed's ultimate shield, attacking with everything he had, but keeping her alive. She couldn't even react. Selena could only just lay there, unblinking, as she was beaten and cut. She wished she was dead.

Torture. It was pure, cruel torture.

Just when she felt like stabbing herself through the heart and ending it, he stopped and looked around the room.

Winry, sitting in the chair, too shocked and grief stricken to cry or even notice what he had just done to Selena.

Nina, crying and staring off into space, the one person she looked up to torturing his subordinate.

Roy and Hawkeye, angry, scared, confused, and staring at the mess.

Silena, her clothes dirty and almost in shreds, crying and beaten, a hair from death.

The room was in total chaos. Perfect. He once again bit Selena, this time reviving her. Did those fangs contain an antidote? She whimpered, relieved yet terrified, as she regenerated. She stayed on the floor, eyes shut tight, afraid of what he would do next. She felt fabric falling onto her back. Edward's coat?

"Wear that," Lie said, "You're not gonna lay there with your clothes like that." She started to get up when he kicked her again. "Hey! When did I say you could get up? You're gonna lay there, got it?" He stomped on her until she went limp, making sure she got the message. After what felt like hours, she heard footsteps fading. He was finally leaving.

"I'm... I'm still alive." She started crying from joy, laughing softly in staggered breaths. She started to get up when she heard the gun cock. Oh, right. They all knew she was a Homonculus. She turned around calmly and looked straight into the barrel of Riza's gun. Mustang cleared his throat.

"You're going to have to answer a few questions, Lieutenant."
