Fma dragon style

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Lust withnessed the scene in silence. "Don't damage them too much if you want to have use of them Envy." She recommended him. She knew how easely Envy could get carried along. "It would be stupid killing off something useful this soon." She said lightly as she gazed at the armour dragon. "Hush Gluttony, we'll find food for you later on." She added to the huge dragon.

Dorochette was still scouting the land, trying to maybe find anyone else.

[amouri]

Slicer had expected some kind of a reaction from the massive hulking humunculus, but he was still caught completely by surprise as Envy's tail seemed to come out of nowhere, striking him heavily on the side.
He fell sprawling on his side, clawing himself upwards again with a snarl.
"That was a bad mistake." He rumbled.
He wouldn't give in to this. He wouldn't become a captive of their will any longer.
Even though he technically didn't have a physical body, his strength was nearly unlimited. As long as he had the will-power, he could have cracked a boulder whenever he felt like it. That, and if his armour didn't get worn up or bent by the pressure he was using it for.
But now that his brother and himself were both lit with pent-up anger, anything was possible.
With a roar of rage, he launched himself at the humunculus with a thrust of his powerful back legs.
He rammed into him with his shoulder, and then hurling himself at Envy, grabbing him round the neck and digging in his blunt metal claws in search for the humunculus' windpipe.
With his back legs, he kicked repeatedly, gouging deep grooves in Envy's foul belly.
His tail was twisting and flashing as a dying snake, cutting several deep cuts in the humunculus' haunch, the pale flesh showing.
He jabbed his blunt head at Envy's face, slightly uneasy about the fact that he didn't have teeth to bite with.
---
Barry snorted as his vision was obstructed by dirt again.
"Pfsha!" He mumbled, rubbing his nose.
He shook his head once more, and looked at what he had done.
There was a reasonable amount of dirt outside, from where it had been flung, or where he had pushed it up and out of the way.
The burrow that he had dug was not massive, but just enough spacious for him. He just had to finish of the corners, then-
He stopped in his track of thought.
He noticed that something was slightly...different, about the wall of earth in front of him.
It wasn't earth.

He slowly moved towards it, reaching our warily and placing his paw flat on the black smudgy surface, spreading out his claws and scratching curiously at it.
It was like somekind of metal...its form was obstructed by the earth around it, but by the looks of it, it was vaguely square-shaped.
He rapped his knuckle on it, and recoiled slightly at the hollow sound.
And hollow... he thought in surprise.

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Lust watched for a moment as the amrour dragon pounted on Envy. After some debating she decided that she wanted to give her own strenght a try as well and help Envy after all. With a swift sweep of her tail she harshly slapped Slicer in his stomach. Slapping him off and away fro Envy. She frowned a bit at her new body and how to use it and most of all what she could do with it. She had prefer her human body over this one but this wasn't all too bad either.

[amouri]

Slicer choked in shock as a black streak whipped through the air and hit him flat in the stomach. The force of the blow was so strong that he was torn off Envy, but this time he managed to land on his feet as he fell.
He was surprised to see that the lowest part of chest was dented, but even more so when he realized it was Lust that had attacked him.
Immediately he felt like turning tail and fleeing, but his brother blocked him and asked in shock.
"What are you doing?!"
He realized that he couldn't hold himself back-or his brother for that matter- in this case, even though Lust was a female.
She might have been of the fairer gender, but Slicer had already realized long ago how deadly she could be.
And he couldn't afford to lose.
With a snarl, he pounced at her, even though his inner turmoil nearly caused him to spread out his wings and change direction before he made contact with her.
He knocked into her, twisting his tail tightly around hers, to avoid her attacking him with it.
He had noticed that that seemed to be the strongest way of attacking she had, and in that way he could probably avoid killing her.
Or so he hoped.
With one front paw, he tried pressing her head to the ground, in an attempt to hold her immobile.

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Lust gave a small growl before she smirked. Her smooth back suddenly had sharp dangerouse spikes sticking out of it. Eventhough Slicer held her tail it seemed as if half of it slipped for it's hold as 5 sharp and thinner tails got out of the other dragon his tail his hold. She wrapped her tails around the other dragon his neck and 4 legs pulling him back and off her as much as possible so she could stand up again. "You should know when to stop 45. Both of you." She warned smoothly but dangerousely.

[amouri]

Slicer yelped in shock as he suddenly noticed his grip on her tail was slackening.
He glanced back and saw the sharp spines growing, all the while silently cursing his ignorance.
As her tail was freed, he saw to his surprise how it split, and then twined itself around his neck, and binding his feet.
He staggered, the many tails now tightening around his legs, and he lost his balance, falling with a heavy thud.
He lifted his head just off the ground, heaving instinctively with the breaths that he couldn't take, trying to clear his non-existent brain with the oxygen he couldn't absorb.
He glanced up at her, shivering slightly.
Whether of fear, anger, or something third he couldn't tell.
"Its 48." He said weakly, trying to kick her in the chest in an attempt to loosen her grip.
"And 49." His brother added, snarling slightly.

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Lust smirked satisfied as she stepped aside while pulling her tails back and joining them back to one. "Of course." She said with the same smirk still on. "My apology. I got caught up in the heat of a fight for a moment." She said lightly. "Now let's give this nice business discussing a second try shall we nr. 48 and 49?"

[amouri]

Slicer quickly got to his feet, and immediately backed at least a few feet away from Lust.
He steeled himself slightly, half expecting another attack.
"As before, I must answer no thanks. We are no longer under your command." He said shakingly, still prepared for anything.
His brother gained control of his tail, causing it to writhe and swish in anger.
"Don't you get it you morons?!" HIs younger sibling yelled in exasperation. "This is no longer lab five! NO matter what you do to us, we'll have had the first taste of freedom. And we're not going to give it up that easily. Right brother?!"
"...Right. AS my younger brother so calmly put it-"
"I sense sarcasm."
"Well good for you. Now be quiet. As my brother said, you no longer have the right to control us. You have no military power, no alchemy, no nothing. You may kill us, but what good would that do? We haven't threatened you, only in defense. The truth is, you humunculi are in the principal ALONE. There may be more of you, but I doubt it. And even then, I doubt we're the only dragons here. I'm not so sure they'll all bend down kissing your feet as soon as they hear of what you truly are."
He finished off drily. His brother had given him confidence, even by that small discussion he had snapped out of his cautiousness and acted like and older brother should. HE had set an example.

[masterwarlord]

Envy cried out in pain as Slicer dug into him, trying to find his vitals. He hadn’t expected such strength and agility. Envy bucked around, trying to get Slicer off, but eventually Lust did it for him. While the wounds could’ve been notable, they quickly regenerated once Slicer stopped tearing into him, causing Envy to chuckle with satisfaction. He watched Lust fight Slicer, waiting for an opening. While when he was talking would’ve been a good opportunity, Envy was curious about what Slicer had to say. After he finished, Envy came back into the picture.

”Didn’t you notice? We still have all our power we had before. We can regenerate from any wound. . .You can’t lay a finger on us. Still, you raise a good point. Let’s be civilized about this, hmm? We’ll find all the dragons and vote on our leader. I’d rather not constantly have to pile drive my subjects into the ground to get them to submit.”.

[amouri]

The younger Slicer was still raising the plates on their neck in anger, but 48 calmed him in relief at Envy's words.
"I am glad that we have come to an agreement-"
"Somewhat."
"...You want to start it up again brother?" He hissed under his breath.
"...No."
"I see."

He turned to Envy again.
"Yes, I must say that I couldn't avoid noticing that fact." He said icily, eying the wounds on Envy's belly as they healed.
"About this voting setup, you must remember that so far, all the dragons we have met-Or at least, in my case only you-have been Amestrian. But we can't guarantee that there might not be other dragons, that no nothing of humunculi or alchemy.
And I dare say they may already have a leader, or they just function without."
He narrowed one eye in the closest impression he could get of quirking an eyebrow.
"You may be able to appease them, and you may not. Even though we are in the principle based on legend, dragons have never been portrayed as the social creatures. How do you not know that they might just attack you as soon as their territory line is breached?"
He warily sat down on his haunches, tail curling slightly.

He was slightly relieved that the humunculi didn't seem directly aggressive anymore, just...vaguely hostile.

[masterwarlord]

Envy was intrigued by Slicer. He’d never considered the possibility of non-Amestrian dragons being in the valley before. . .”It seems it’s too early to think about then that then. We’ll have to see just exactly what kind of dragons are here. . .C’mon, Gluttony, Lust. Let’s take a better look around the place. Oh, and thanks for the tip, 48, 49, old pals. Thought you’d like to know I saw that blundering idiot 66 earlier off in that direction”. He motioned off with his head.

Envy turned into an eagle and soared off into the distance. He didn’t fly particularly high, searching for any other dragons he could find. He searched for a considerable time to find that they were rather scarce. . .And when he finally did start coming up on one, she looked all too strange to –not- be Amestrian. . .Was she still somehow wearing that old military coat despite being so huge? How utterly absurd. He could vaguely recognize her from somewhere in the military, but couldn’t place his finger on it.

Envy swooped down next to Riza and transformed back into his disgusting dragon form. ”Relax. I mean you no harm. . .I’m the ruler of this land.”. Envy grimaced and chuckled. ”Who were you before you came here, exactly? Have you seen any others? Do you have any idea how we got here?” Envy questioned the military officer. If he could make the people think he was the leader in the first place, there’d be no need to win any dumb election. Since when did democracies ever function properly?

[amouri]

Slicer was pleased that the humunculi were no longer acting hostile, though he hoped that they no longer saw him as a subordinate-or worse.
Old pals? Good lord. May I never hear that again. He thought with a shudder. The thought of being friendly with Envy was completely foreign to him. Gluttony he could probably handle, he was just stupid.
And Lust...

He shook his head slightly, but snapped it up in surprise as he heard what Envy then said.
"66? Somehow that doesn't surprise me. He seems to stick to me like a burr." He grumbled slightly.
It was a calming thought though, to know he was not alone. The armored prisoners of lab five had always shared a certain bond, which was as close to friendship as they could get.

He wasn't too enthusiastic about seeking the crazy butcher out though, he preferred to wait a while, enjoy a few hours more in peace before he went back to the usual tormenting.
He glanced at the lake again, watching as the dead fish were slapped on the shore by the small waves, and from what he could tell by the live fish in the lake, who were all swimming away from the polluted area, he could guess what the stench was like.

He glanced at the remaining humunculi, particularly at Lust.
"So...Do any of you have the slightest inkling of what has caused this...change so to say?" He asked airily. After all, humunculi were the cause of everything. Why shouldn't they have caused this?

[Dorochet [Bido]]

For a moment Lust had wondered whether or not she should have followed Envy but had eventually decided against it. Instead she gave the area a look, planning some scouting of her own (and Gluttony as he always followed her around). As the armour dragon spoke he looked at him for a moment, deciding if she should give him an answer or not. "If we had been the cause of this it would probably be best for you not to know don't you agree." She said smoothly, calm as ever as maybe one could find a threat into her words. She wouldn't mind if they did but she hadn't been planning any threatening right now either. "But frankly we for once have nothing to do with this." She than added simply.

[amouri]

He listened quietly, and was more baffled than ever that the root of the problem wasn't of humunculic origin.
"Ah...I see."
He glanced up at the sky, wondering suddenly if he was able to fly.
He had the wings, and they seemed constructed to take to the air, but his body was considerably heavier than a normal dragons, or so he guessed.
Though of course, he was considerably lighter than 66, who's nearly entire body was made of metal, whereas Slicer's was of a more mixed blend of metal, leather, and black carbon forged by alchemy.

He glanced at the female dragon in front of him again.
"You know...I doubt it'll be much trouble for you to settle down here..." He said carefully.
"Theres plenty of game around from what I saw. Not that I would need it."

----

Barry was still gazing puzzled at the flat stretch of wall.
He tried digging around it, but quickly gave up.
I wonder what it is though...
He decided to try and break it, even though it seemed of an extremely hard substance.
After many tries, from ramming the razor-sharp end of his tail to banging his head on it, a small dent showed.
He hissed in irritation of the time it was taking, and once more tried to bash it in.
The dent became deeper, until he somehow punched his entire front leg through it.
He stood rigid in surprise for a few seconds, before withdrawing his hand with difficulty, and proceeding to tear at the edges of the small hole.
The hole was only slightly bigger when he gave up, and slumped beside the wall.
He tried hooking his paw inside it, groping around and grabbing something.

He pulled it back again to discover to his shock that he was holding an egg-a small green one with faint cream-colored stripes on it.
He looked at it in shock, not quite knowing what to do.
He carefully placed it at the side, before once more putting his hand through.
After a few more tries, he had withdrawn three more eggs, a bunch of dry sticks, and a dragon skull.
Well, he hadn't actually withdrawn the dragon skull, seeing as it was too big to fit through the hole. But he had seen it.
He sighed, glancing at the small row of eggs on the floor.
I wonder if it was the mother... he thought, thinking about the dragon skull.
He picked one of them up to examine it closer, but to his horror he didn't do it carefully enough, and it smashed in his hand, sending an eruption of sticky yellow and red slime all over his paw.

He yelped in shock, flinging it away and staring at it in horror.
The small embryo within was dead, there was no denying that.
But for some reason he had a feeling that it had already been dead for long.
Lucky that I don't have any sense of smell... he thought gratefully, quickly scooping up the remains of the egg and the small dragon hatchling and walking outside, dumping them in the nearby bushes.
I think I'd better cover that wall...I don't want that gaping hole there.

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Lust looked at Slicer, partly amused party mocking him. "Neither do we." She simply answered. "Gluttony eats only because he feels like it not because he needs it." She said simply before she turned to th Gluttony dragon. "Come on Gluttony, let us have a look around as well." She suggested as she spread her wings.

Dorochette had been flying around the vally for a while now but couldn't find anyone straight away so after a while he decided to take a little rest. Untill a foul smell caught his attention. It came from teh direction where he had met the armour dragon earlier. After a moment or reconsideration he decided to check it out as he flew back to the spot where he had been earlier. When he saw the same dragon from earlier hiding something in the bushes as he was standing by some kind of hole he let his curiousity win the best part of him as he landed nearby.He was starting to get better at this as he landed more smoorthly, easier and less noisy as the last time. After closing his wings again he walked to the other dragon. "What is that horrible smell?" He asked as he got straight to the point.

[amouri]

Slicer was slightly affronted at the humunculus' retort, as she turned her back to him and prepared to take off.
"Well...I'll perhaps be seeing you around then." He said meekly, turning away and going back down the beach from where he had come from.
"She was polite."
"As you have been my younger brother for 24 years now, I'm sure you know I don't take lightly to sarcasm."
"You should try lightening up then."
---
Barry jerked up his head as a heavy thump sounded from behind him.
He spun around, but relaxed as he recognized the slightly furry form.
"Oh...its you." He said slightly disgruntled.
At the chimeras question he shifted slightly.
"I found some kind of an underground...shell really. There was a load of eggs in it, and I crushed one on accident."
He weakly wiped the greasy remains of the egg onto the grass, gesturing slightly into the massive burrow from where the rest of the eggs were.
"This one was stale though, but I'm not sure of the others might be...alive."
He didn't quite know what to do if this turned out to be right.
Would he merely dispose of them? He didn't really feel like it...crushing infant dragons even before they had had a proper taste of life didn't really appease to him, hardened killer though he was.

[Dorochet [Bido]]

“Nice greeting.” The chimera dragon commented at the grunted ‘welcomeing’.
Dorochette grimaced a bit at the story the metal dragon told him. “Well I can assure you that whatever it was that you crushed it was rotten as hell and the stench isn’t any better.” He commented at the stench before walking over to the bush. Curiously Dorochette took a look at the coloured eggs. They were quite obviously dragons eggs considering the size and odd colours.
“That one’s rotten as well.” He frowned as he nodded at one of the two remaining dragon eggs. Then he turned his attention to the remaining blue dragon egg. He leaned closer to have a better look at the egg, he sniffed near it’s shell once holding his ear close and pressing his nose against it to nudge it as he considered it might be safer not doing that with his pawn so he wouldn’t end up crushing the egg like Barry had.
After a while he stood straight again as he looked at the blue egg. “That one is still alive.” He informed the other dragon as he started collecting some nearby twigs and dropping them on the massive blue egg.

[amouri]

Barry was slightly relieved to hear that.
"Good...but it still has made a hell of a mess." He said disgruntled, wiping his paw on the dirt again.

Barry twitched slightly as the canine chimera suddenly picked up one of the eggs, after having sniffed the other two remaining.
"Hey-don't treat it that roughly, it'll-" He stopped in shock at what the canine had said.
"WHAT?!" He said hoarsely.
He stared bewildered at the egg, but gave a big jolt of surprise as a bundle of sticks was dumped on it.
"Hey hey HEY! What ya think ya doing?!" He snarled, carefully brushing the heavy sticks off the egg.
"You're gonna crush it! I don't want any more dead eggs hanging around, I may not have a sense of smell but I still know how to keep a place clean!....Sorta."
He glanced at the egg again, not quite sure what to say. It looked very much alike the others, the faint creamy white lines, that curved around the shell, though the colour inbetween them was blue.

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Dorochette didn't seemed to pay much attention to Barry as he was now collecting some grass and dropping it on the egg, near the twigs.
"There's more chance of you crushing it than me." He noted. "And it won't crush it, it are just little twigs, the shell is harder than that."He added. "But if whatever is in is still alive it'll need to be kept warm. You took it out of it's nest so it needs a new one or this one will just die as well."

[amouri]

Barry stopped as he was about to indignantly brush the rest off.
"Oh. Sorry, didn't know that." He said slightly meekly.
He still kept an anxious eye on the egg however.
"Hang on...warm it? Doesn't that involve...sitting on it or something??" He said nervously.
What have I gotten myself into...I can't sit around all day like some chicken! Come to think of it...I'd probably crush it. Bah, why do I even care? It'll bring nothing but trouble...I never was that good at kids...
But he still couldn't help shifting slightly to get a better look at the egg.
