Regrouping

[silverviper2134]

"Do you really think that your little friend is going to back up your story? He's probably going to tell the bitch exactly what you did. What do you think will happen then?" Martel asked, trying to remain calm. However, the pressure to her stomach was making that rather difficult. She was able to keep herself from getting worried for a while, but quickly forgot about that when she felt a sudden rush of fluid from around her pelvis. "Well" she said to the child-homunculus, trying to keep her voice steady, though she wasn't doing as well as well as she hoped. "Don't even bother bringing me back to your 'master'. I don't have anything she wants now".

Taking advantage of Wrath's senseless anger, Gluttony attacked the younger homunculus. "Wrath mean" he said, sounding like a slowly developed toddler. With a wicked grin of his own, Gluttony openned his huge jaws and brought them down on Wrath's bony stomach.

Envy growled at the Ultimate Shield, his eyes changing color from their usual violet to an angry red. However, hearing Martel's last statement, he smirked slightly. "Well, it looks like I don't have any reason to be here" he said, cracking his knuckles slightly as he turned away. Realizing Greed would be ready to goad him again, the ultimate mask simply widened his smirk and said, "Now, Greed, don't you think you should be more worried about that little slut of yours? After all, I've heard it's very possible to bleed to death during a miscarriage".

[Greed]

For a split second, Greed felt his heart sink, like the his life itself left him.
Not even a mili-second afterward, Greed's nice switch just broke.
His oroburous tattoo began to glow crimson, a small surge of red electricity reverberated off the mark.
His eyes went a bloody crimson red, his sadistic smirk turned into one that obviously screamed killer intent.
Greed's left arm thrusted into the ground, having carbonized from his fist to his elbow, the ground below him caved inward from the force of the blow. The whole room went up. Smog and Darbee sweeping over the area. The whole building shook due to the punch. The room itself, was already partly collapsed. The fact it was under the rest, was a very pressing matter. Given a few moments, the whole building would come down on them.
Taking advantage of this split second opening, Greed all but vanished from view. Seeming to 'reappear' directly in front of, Envy. The two best close range combatants, were about to go head to head. Greed's style was very similar to a Brazilian-type of fighting style. Using very coordinated, yet confusing moves to unnerve opponents and quickly give lethal blows.

||Example being, Eddy from Tekken - Tag team tournament.||

Envy, on the other hand was very similar to kickboxing. Which is why he went for the male's legs as apposed to attacking the upper part. He held the arm used to punch the ground above his head, to block any attacks from above. His other hand, carbonated to the elbow as well, to grab Envy's ankle and pull his feet out from under him. This taking him by surprise, even if he is the fastest homunculli other then Greed, would most likely hit.
He jerked his legs out, as a result his upper body slammed into the ground. He then dragged Envy over above his head, slamming him into the other side of him. His head bouncing off the ground, making a small dent into the floor. Still doing such too fast for the surprised Envy to react. Then skidding the soulless doll across the ground, and chucking him into the wall. Blood staining the path made by Envy's face, having literally rubbed off the flesh from his face due to the pressure. His form slamming into it so hard, he would break directly through it. The process of the building collapsing, beginning. Chunks of ceiling and such littering the ground. Giving no time to react, Greed charged after the man. Jumping onto his form, by slamming his heels into his chest. Hearing the ribs snap. And the floor below him caving into a human sized crater. He then slammed a carbonized fist into his jaw. Giving the appropriate g-forces to propel and pivot himself off his body, damaging his torso even more, he thrusted off. Landing roughly a few feet away. He slammed his fist into the ground once again, making a crevice below Envy. Possibly breaking anything that was still in contact with the ground that was apart of Envy, or just knocking him off balance.
"What happened?" he said, with a tone of voice that would unnerve even Dante herself.
"Didn't you ever wonder why Dante wanted me out of the way so bad?" he quizzed the mutilated body.
"It's because, I am the largest threat she has! Even above the military! You ain't seen nothing yet, boy." he said, in that tone, one that would send shivers down even Envy's spine.

---------------------------------

Wrath, smirked and said; "Then we have no more use for you." he said, making the floor squeeze much harder.
A creak was heard, it could either be one of Martel's bones breaking, or the floor as Gluttony attacked the boy.
Using the transmutation already in place on the floor, he turned the floor to liquid around the rabid homunculli, right at Wrath's feet.
"Get used to bowing to me, fat ass." he retorted, confidently.
He then thrusted his arm straight through the skull of, Gluttony.
Or so he did, assuming this hit.
If it did, he then transmuted the plump man.
Blowing up his skull, and sending his body into the wall opposite him.
The building shook, causing Wrath to fall on his ass, his leg still acting like a transmutation into the floor. However, the sudden bolt of distraction caused him to accidental release Martel.
"What was that..?" he pipped to the air, not expecting any of them to have the good graces to answer him. The ceiling then began to rain over them. A large block of cemented roof landing near, Wrath. And chunks of the same, barraging the others.
After a moment, it stopped, giving them a moment to breath.
The building still shaking and creaking, as if ready to give.
Wrath gave a small squeak, quite confused.

[silverviper2134]

Envy groaned slightly as he smacked it the wall. Obviously Greed wasn't playing around, and would kill the elder homunculus as many times as possible. He was in serious pain, worst then he had ever felt before. His breathing was labored as he felt his ribs crack and shatter. Looks like this would be another death, worst one of the year. However, that wouldn't stop him from messing with the guy. "Why do you even care, Greed? If what Wrath says is true, this woman betrayed you by going to Dante. Why should you care if she dies?". Feeling the wall shaking slightly, he smirked slightly. "And besides" he began, his smirked widening, "Do you really want to kill your 'friends' because you couldn't control yourself?" Hearing what Greed said about Dante's reasoning for locking him away, Envy tried to sneer. The keyword being tried as his jaw was nearly broken, making it difficult to contort his mouth in certain posistions. "Don't you think I know that? But, what does it matter? Even if you kill me, I'll come back. As for Dante, try and get her and you'll just be sealed again. Either way, you loose". With that he gasped loudly in pain, his spine feeling like he was being ripped out.

As Martel was released from Wrath's hold, Dorochette ran over to her. He tried to get the woman to stand up, to get away from the battling homunculi, but was unsuccessful. Martel simply stared ahead, seeming oblivious to what was going on around her.

With Wrath distracted, Gluttony managed to escape the floor by eating around his own limbs. Hearing the building creak, he turned to where he had heard Greed's voice, terror and confusion on his face as he asked, "What going on?"

((OOC: Little busy, post with more detail later))

[Greed]

Greed held up his composure, or what could be called that given his insane sadistic smirk.
"Don't bullshit yourself, kid. You act tough, but you know good and well she wouldn't seal me up if that was the case." he said, obviously getting under Envy's skin. And apparently overlooking the comment about his friends.
"If I was so easily overlooked, she would have had me 'taken care of' and been done with it." he said, in a very icy tone.
"She was so hell bent on sealing me up when she had the chance, BECAUSE I am the biggest threat. And BECAUSE I can fuck over her little team." he said, confidently.
"She knows that I know every little secret about what we are, and all that shit. And she knows my power is even more then she fully knows about, she knows she doesn't fully have tabs on my power. And that made her uneasy, so she wanted to put me away. Genuinely afraid I would put a halt to her plans." he gloated.
He picked up Envy by the throat, clenching it very hard. Near breaking point.
"In case you don't already know, my remains have been destroyed. Thus, the ways to kill me have been extremely limited. However, since I don't have your remains, there is a much more fun way to kill you. And that's killing you enough times so that your stones shut down, unable to supply you with enough power for more lives." he smirked, knowing he was putting fear into his former comrade.
"She fears me, Envy. I've become something she can't control, or even fully understand. I am no longer a homunculus as you view it. I am something totally different, and that puts fear into Dante." he said, already having snapped the male's vocal cords.
"Do you really think that bitch doesn't have strings on you too? Y'er her fuckin' puppet, boy. She fears me, because I cut my own strings. You may hate me, and detest me. But I am your only damn chance to get what you want. Gluttony changed sides and began following me, because he realized following me not only got him what he wants, but he found it much more easy to obey me versus Dante." he said, taking his time. Envy, unable to move, couldn't even be possibly able to summon any strength to fight back at this point.
"Hell, we can hate each other all we want and be rivals. But face it, I am your only chance to be able to have any freedom for your own agenda." he said, grinning.
"Join me, or die here. And not come back." he offered, in a way only people like him and Envy could understand. Then crushing Envy's throat, thus killing off this life. He stepped back, giving Envy's body a moment to reboot and come back. He raised a hand above his head, redirecting a cement chunk that was aimed at his head to the side of him.
"So, make your choice." he said, flatly, still having that tone of voice.

---------------------------

Wrath, looked at the currently collapsing building.
His view even consisted of the pile of what was formerly Gluttony, the blood painted to the walls above the body.
"What is going on..? I've never seen something like this.." he said, surprised, and slightly in awe.
"It feels as if the whole neighborhood is going to collapse in..." he said, his leg feeding him the information as per the condition of what it was attached to.

[silverviper2134]

Envy's body lay limply against the wall, not moving or showing any sign of life for several moments. Soon, however, the life began to come back to him, albeit very slowly. "My agenda and her agenda are very nearly the same" he smirked as he began to feel his limbs again. "Neither of us can truly tolerate humans, so why shouldn't I help her? As for your being a threat and why she only sealed you....the only reason she didn't kill you was because she thought keeping you in a prison would make you realize you're no better than us. You're nothing but a puppet, and she's the puppetmaster". A wicked smirk made its way to his face. "How do you know she hasn't planned all this out? Made me and Wrath bait to lead you to a permament death or back in your seal? And, if I did join you, don't you think that would just be more feul for Dante to get rid of you? You keep making her homunculi betray her"

As a chunk of concrete fell not a foot away from him, Dorochette growled slightly, trying to get Martel to move. She managed to get to her feet and he grabbed onto her arm, trying to think of a safe way out.

Gluttony's own body was begin to regenerate, even slower than Envy's had been.

And the doctor, taking advantage of Wrath's distracted manner, took out a small red stone, barely large enough to be seen. With this small weapon, he ran to the doorway, barely missing chunks of wood and concrete. "Mr. Greed" he screamed from the shaking, crumbling doorway. "Please stop before this entire neighborhood comes down. I can't help anyone here if even I die!"

[Greed]

"I know her on much more of a personal level then you, boy. And even you know this." he said, remarking back and shooting down Envy's comebacks flawlessly.
"I know her, very personally. And I know better then any one, that the actions she takes are out of whim due to her fear of not being able to control me." he retorted, knowing he was getting to him.
"She's become reckless when it comes to me, and even you should've realized it. Face it, boy. You and I are a bit more alike then we both want to admit. If we weren't, you wouldn't even be taking the time to listen to me. You know I am right, and I can tell." he commented.
"And last I checked, your agenda is a lot more like mine. And being a pawn isn't apart of it." he added. He stayed still for a moment, waiting to see if he was going to have to really kill Envy, or if he had another comrade.

-------------------

Unlike, Scar. The stone had quite a different effect on, Wrath.
His pupils dilated, and he began to scream in agony. The stone seemed to effect his powers, either adding to them, or simply making them go berserk. As for the fact, his arm seemed to literally melt, forming into a whip like appendage which began wildly sweeping over the place. Crushing anything it hit.
His leg, still transmuted to the ground, began to contort the ground and send it into a liquid like state. Waves coming from him, and even 'droplets' of the floor spurting out. Which once it hit the air, turned into a spike like item, heading to pierce anything it aimed for.
"A'hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he screamed, in pain.
"M-mommy!!" he said, "Mommy!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he cried into the air, in desperate hope that she would by some stroke of luck she would hear him.

[silverviper2134]

"Fine, but I'm not staying here. No matter what you say, I know can barely tolerate humans" Envy said, grimacing as he heard Wrath's scream. He turned his head, seeing the doctor holding on a stone. "Put that away, you idiot!" he demanded, knowing what Wrath could do.

Marchoh looked over his shoulder, panic written over his face. Understanding what Envy meant, he put the stone back into his pocket, hoping it wouldn't effect Wrath anymore.

[Greed]

Greed, smirked a little. Having calmed down a bit. The building's conditioned worsened.
Wrath had had enough exposure to the stone that he was out of control just a bit longer, enough for the extra surge to wear out.
The room, or rather the building, just became his plaything.
He pulled up his leg, which abstractly compressed the sulfur and hydrogen. Using Gluttony's reforming body as a catalyst. He turned half the room into a bomb. It exploded as his foot left the ground.
The shrapnel would be blocked by his arm, which now had a more scythe like appearance. This wasn't the full extent of Wrath's full power, this was the result of him trying with everything he had to try to fight off the power surge.
Still screaming at the top of his lungs in pain, he slammed the scythe like arm into a wall. Collapsing it. And from the hole in the wall, a black color began to spread. Envy knew what this mean, as well as Greed.
Wrath had accidentally mimicked Kimblee's alchemy. The whole place was about to go up, and possibly the part of the block too.
The black color was spreading extremely fast. Already having covered half of both the rooms it branched from.
Having lost the serge, Wrath collapsed to the ground. In fetal position. Shaking uncontrollably, from the pain, and having to cause himself even more pain by trying to contain his power in such a way.
Crying, he kept repeating how he wanted mommy.
Both rooms were now totally ebony black. They had better get out of there now, or they would all go up like the fourth of July.

[silverviper2134]

"I don't know about you, but I think your friends will want to get out of here" Envy said, nodding in the direction of Martel, Dorochette, and Dr. Marcoh. He had a point. They were the only ones who couldn't survive if the entire building came down. The homunculus thought for a moment, then added in an afterthought. "And, sorry about your kid".

Dorochette sniffed the air, his face becoming tense as he smelled the fumes of explosives that the walls gave off. He turned to Martel, pulling on her arm to get her attention. The snake-chimera simply nodded, to show she was ready to leave whenever told.

[Greed]

Envy's remark took Greed by total surprise, he had not expected that type of reply from Envy ever.
"Yeah, thanks." he said, in remark to the man, nodding in reply to the suggestion to get them out of there.
"Yeah, and you take care of the brat." he said, jokingly.
"Lets go." he roared to the others, making sure the both heard him, as he began making way out of the building.
Waiting a bit, for the others to catch up.

-----------------------------

Wrath stayed as he was, in fetal position.
He was still recovering from the pain, and the discoloration was spreading. Even certain areas catching fire, making it spread faster.

[silverviper2134]

Dorochette nodded slightly in understanding, as did Martel and the doctor. The three of the followed the Homunculus out of the building.

"Come on, kid. Time to go" Envy said, pulling on Wrath's arm, like he was a struggling toddler. He turned his head slightly to find Gluttony nearly healed, though still missing half his face. God, how long did it take to revive from an explosion, he wondered?

[Greed]

"Glut', c'mon." Greed shouted to the behind of him, at Gluttony.
"Lets ditch this join, hurry up." he told the male, requesting him to follow.

----------------------------

Wrath complied, though, he was still shaking uncontrollably. He stood, and followed Envy.

[silverviper2134]

Gluttoy nodded slightly and made his way out of the Devil's Nest. As he reached out, he looked at Martel then back at Greed. "Brother...what is wrong with Pretty Lady?" he asked, sounding like an innocent kid.

Once he and Wrath were outside the building, Envy looked at the kid from the corner of his eye. "You okay, brat?" he asked, trying to sound like he really didn't give a damn.

[Greed]

Greed looked back at Martel and Gluttony.
"Are you okay?" he asked, a bit worried.
The building behind them was visibly turning black, people still running out of it screaming.

--------------------------

"I'll live.. Thanks..." he said to, Envy. Giving a weak smile.
Both groups were out of range, nearly on the border of the next block as the building finally went up. A huge explosion that blew sky high. Buildings around it caved in almost instantly, the ground followed. Especially considering the fact that the main building was under ground. Buildings that did not fall, still were damaged, windows blown out and such. The inferno engulfed everything far into the sky, a large cloud of smoke drifted above them. Branching out, and covering the sky around the building. The Devil's Nest was gone.

[silverviper2134]

"No" Martel said curtly, turning her head away. She could feel tears pricking her eyes, but refused to let them fall. After the military and Lab 5, she'd learn not to show emotion whenever possible.

"What are we going to do now?" Dorochette asked, briefly morning the loss of the only home he'd known since he joined the special opps.

[Greed]

"I've got the living arrangements covered." he said, flatly and passively as he made his way to Martel, hugging her.
"It's okay... Whatever it is, it's okay." he said holding her, trying to comfort her.

[silverviper2134]

Martel simply shook her head. "I don't know about you, but I don't define this as alright" she said, her voice sounding very flat. "The only decent place I've been since becoming a chimera is gone for good. Not to mention I'm sure the kids are dead." She chuckled slightly, though it sounded a bit forced. "Looks like it didn't matter if I tried fighting or not".

"What's wrong with Pretty Lady, Brother" Gluttony asked, whimpering slightly.

[Greed]

Greed let her go, and looked at her as if he didn't even know who she was. That moment, he made a choice. He spit on the ground to his right, and simply started walking. Leaving it up to them to follow him or not.

[silverviper2134]

Martel was hurt by Greed's response, though she managed to get over it. If there was one thing she'd learned from the military that she refused to forget it was this: mourning the loss of what you can't or don't have only leads to more pain. So, she walked over to Greed, smirking slightly. "So...where exactly are we going to go?" she asked, a bit hesitantly, as though she was afraid to hear the answer.

[Greed]

"Up to you." he said flatly, not even looking at her as he replied.
He just kept walking onward. The clattering of the others following him, irritated him. He sighed, smirking lightly.
"Do whatever you want." he said, once more flatly, this time with a slight feel of emotion behind it.
