Sloth returned to the office with the body of a young brunette, closing the door behind her with her heel. "The eavesdropper has been taken care of, master."
"Put the body in the elevator and send it down to the opera house. I'll deal with it later," Dante commanded.
Heading over to the bookcase, Sloth pulled the disguised lever and waited for the bookcase to separate. Once the elevator doors opened, she unceremoniously tossed the corpse in and waited for the doors to close.
Dante set her glass aside and stood up, smoothing out her dress. "I think it's about time we left."
"Where are we heading next?" Sloth asked, looking over at her.
"First we are going to pick up some medical supplies, and then you will escort me to the train station," Dante said, then looked at Martel. "As for her, taking her back to Dublith would be a bad idea. I want you and Pride to look after her until I get back."

"What should I do, Master?" Wrath asked. He wanted to feel important, so he wanted a job. It didn't matter what the job was, but he wanted on. Having a job would make him feel like he was grown-up.

Retiring from that troublsome interogation, Fuhrer King Bradley walked up to his office. He had tried the elvator, but to his discomfort he found it being used. He had grumbled to himself and proceeded up the staircase instead. The day hadn't been going well at all.
Finally reaching his office, he sighed heavily as he pushed open the wooden door. He was about to take off his blue militray shirt and sit down in his white undershirt when he realized who all was in front of him. His Ultimate Eye flared with glee behind his left eyepatch.
"What a pleasent surprise!" he mused, closing the door behind him. "All the people I wish to speak with in one room, and it's my office! How kind of you....wait, why is Havoc and this blonde girl here? What happened while I was away?"

"You will accompany to Dublith and help me with the soul transfer," Dante told him.
Hearing the door open behind her, Sloth narrowed her eyes and turned around, prepared to eliminate the intruder. She was really getting sick and tired of all these interruptions. Before she could liquefy herself, she recognized the man as Pride and stopped herself.
"Good evening, sir," Sloth greeted him with a bow.
Dante was surprised when her masterpiece stepped through the door. She assumed the meeting he called with the others must have ended early. That aside, this meant getting out of the military base would be a lot easier now.
"Pride, things are starting to fall apart," Dante informed him calmly, moving her shawl aside to reveal the blood stains on her dress. "Where to begin? My body is failing, Gluttony has defected, and Hohenheim of Light is fighting Envy in the opera house as we speak..."

Wrath smiled, releasing his hold on Martel. However, he kept the materials on his arm, forming them into a knife, which he pointed at Martel's throat. "If you do anything to hurt my mommy, you'll regret it" he growled at her.
She just rolled her eyes. "Kid, I can't even use my abilities and I don't have my knife. I couldn't do anything even if I wanted to".

Dante frowned when she heard Wrath threaten her hostage. She just told him a minute ago that she needed Martel to be alive and well. The boy was even dumber than she thought.
Walking over, she seized him by his wild hair and yanked him back. "I'm not going to say this again," she began with tranquil fury," If you so much as lay a hand on her, I will see to it that you spend the rest of you miserable existence sealed away in the basement of Lab Five. Have I made myself perfectly clear?"

Wrath nodded fearfully. "But, I don't want her to hurt mommy!" he explained fearfully. He hoped that was a good enough excuse to keep Dante from getting mad at him. "Why do you need her anyway? You gonna put her up for ransom or something?"

Dante released him from her grasp and rubbed her temples in annoyance. She was getting sick and tired of answering his incessant questions. "Wrath, I explained this to you already. She is pregnant with Greed's child, and I need her alive so I can research it once she gives birth. Now be quiet and behave yourself."

'That's if either of them are still alive' Martel thought, placing a hand on her stomach with a frown. With all that had been going on, she was almost certain that she had miscarried.
Wrath nodded and ran over to Sloth, wrapping his arms around her, hoping for comfort.

"Okay, that's quite enough," Pride said sternly, motioning for them to stop their abusive behavior. "Apprently you need medical attention, Dante. Those wounds look severe. If you don't get a new body, then I'm afraid your soul will fail, but you know this."
Pride walked briskly to where Martel sat, his visible eye gleaming.
"This one is in league with Greed, correct? Do we have a location on him? And it's obvious you need my help to get out of here unseen. I can arrange for a discreet transport to arrive quickly, but you'll owe me. Doesn' that send a shiver down your spine?"
This was perfect! Everything was falling right into Pride's hands!

"Master says we can't hurt the chimera" Wrath explained to Pride. He wasn't sure if Pride had been paying attention to the conversation. "Apparently she's pregnant or something. What's that mean anyway?"

Dante folded her arms across her chest and gave the Fuhrer a look of calm displeasure. She did not appreciate it when her homunculi, especially those she created personally, called her by name. Nor did she appreciate being given a command, no matter how innocuous it might be.
Instead of embarrassing her masterpiece by reprimanding him in front of his siblings, she decided to change the subject. "Pride, I am entrusting this girl to you. She is of great importance to me, as she is pregnant with Greed's child. I would take her back to Dublith with me, but since Greed has made his base in a pub on the outskirts of town, that would be unwise. But do not fret; I shall relieve you of the responsibility as soon as I can."
Feeling her legs grow weak, she moved back over to the couch and slowly lowered herself onto it. "And I need you to organize transportation to Dublith for me as soon as possible. The young woman I have been preparing to become my new vessel is still at my mansion, and I'm afraid my body won't last long enough for me to properly condition another."

Martel tried and failed to keep herself from shuddering as Pride looked at her. The fact that the guy who everything saw as being so kind was staring at her like she was something you'd buy at the butchers was a little unnerving. The fact that she'd be stuck with him and that Sloth woman for who-know's-how-long didn't make her feel any better.

Wrath blinked still confused and now getting angry taht everyoen was bluntly ignoring him, "What do you mean pregnet?" he aksed anger in his tone although it was still halfway repesctful. A billigerent look in his eyes as he glared at Martel, "She's not that important!" he said in a bitter, angry tone.

"I don't feel like explaining the facts of life to you, kid" Martel said, turning her head away. She knew that this kid could be rather violent and wasn't exactly looking forward to him trying to strangle her again or something. After all, if she had miscarried, it was likely his fault.

Dante could hardly believe her eyes. She made it perfectly clear to Wrath that he was not to harm Martel not even two minutes ago, and here he was strangling the life out of her! The brat either had some extraodinary mental problems or embodied his sin a little too well.
She wanted to get up and beat the boy to a bloody pulp, but fortunately for him she was too weak to give him an effective thrashing. "Wrath," she began icily, trying her hardest not to raise her voice, "Apparently I didn't make myself clear the last several times I reprimanded you, so allow me to clear up any remaining confusion. Touch her again, and I'll destroy you and replace you with a more competent homunculus. Understand?"

Wrath let go looking properily terrified and actually hid behind Martel, "Y-yes Ma'am!" he said his eyes wide in terror. He hunkered down behind the blonde woman, if he couldn't kill ehr at least Dante woudl ahve to go through her to get to him... Right? After all, if Lady Dnate wanted to protect her, maybe she had soem good merits.. The littel boy was quiet confused and very scared.

Martel sighed in relief as Wrath released her, followed by a fit of violent coughing in order to clear her airway. When he hid behind her, she was a little confused. "What's wrong with you?"

Wrath huddled behind Martel, fear in his childish voice, "She means it... She'll kill me and have me replaced." he muttered, clenching hsi etyes shut tight. "She scares me." he admitted, fear rolling of of him...
