The Resurrection of the Fullmetal Alchemist

Gluttony

"It's Gluttony! Winry, she's been attacked!" Edward slowly rose. The look in his eyes was nowhere short of murderous. He stood for a second, then took off running, following Winry's scent. Selena ran after him worriedly. As Edward ran through the streets, he began to smell blood. Winry's blood. He yelled in his frustration. He wouldn't make it in time. They stopped in front of an unused apartment buildings. She's in there.

He found her, nearly dead. Her arm had been torn off. there were huge chunks of meat missing from her legs. Blood pooled around her. Sitting next to her, chewing on her hand, was a teenaged boy, actually rather lanky. His snow white hair was somewhat like Ling's, but a longer, less bushy ponytail. His red eyes gleamed with bloodlust. Edward recognized seeing this boy. despite his attractive appearance, the boy was actually among the street dwellers. Homeless. The boy always had to fight for his next meal. Theft, Violence, whatever. Edward remembered breaking up a fight between this boy and another man. Both had sustained a few injuries. They needed food. So, this boy became the gluttonous homunculus.

All that was irrelevant at this moment, though. Edward lunged for the boy, pinning him down just as Selena caught up with them. As he bit the boy, he injected venom into the boy's body. The venom would spread through his blood quickly, damaging his body. It would restrict a homunculus's ability to regenerate. Edward tortured the boy the same way, if not worse, than he had Selena.

"Edward, stop!" The man paused.

"He hurt Winry."

"Then tend to her!"

"SHE'S DEAD!"

"She's still alive." At that, Edward left the traumatized teen and rushed towards his wife.

"Winry? Win, can you hear me? Please do something if you can hear me." Her lips moved, but no sound came out. "Winry... I can save you. I can give you one of my lives..."

"Edward, you can't," cried Selena. "that soul won't be hers."

"THEN WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?!" He screamed.

Alphonse? No answer. Al, please say something. Still no answer. Dammit, Al, Winry is dying! Don't ignore me!

You have no right to cry.

She's my WIFE, dammit! Don't you doubt my love for her! Tears freely slid down his face. What's wrong with you? What about Winry?

Of course I feel bad. Now, you had better get away from her.

What's gotten into you, Al? No answer.

In one hand, Edward held Winry's hand in her dying moment. The other was holding a picture of the family. The two of them and their children, Maes and Sara. What will happen to the kids? Edward leaned forward and kissed her forehead, then checked her pulse. Gone. She was gone. Dead. He would never see her smiling face again, never feel her warm touch, never be scolded by her, and never hear her beautiful voice again. Edward screamed in agony and glared at Gluttony. The boy's eyes were wide in fear.

"Edward, no." Ed's glare went from Gluttony to Selena.

"He killed her."

"Don't."

"She DIED because of HIM!"

"He's only a kid! It was his instinct! He couldn't help killing, it could have been anyone! What, will you kill me for the war? And while you're at it, why don't you kill yourself for what you did during the war, huh?" Edward 's gaze softened. He roughly grabbed the boy by his bloody shirt collar and bit him once more. With a shudder, the boy regenerated, then Edward let him fall to the floor.

Alphonse, inform Mustang of the incident, please.

... Okay. I will. But don't let that make you think that I forgive you.

"Where to now?" Asked Selena. Edward looked out the window. The albino shakily stood up. Edward glanced at him. This boy. This boy he detested so much. Of all the people in Central, and Gluttony had to kill Ed's wife.

"Name?"

"R-Ray... Ray Karen."

"Well, Ray Karen, have you heard of homunculi?" And he led them to the hideout of the previous seven sins.
