Regrouping

[silverviper2134]

"What the hell is the matter with you?" she asked him, grabbing onto his arm once she was close enough. "I've never seen you like this" Martel said, sounding slightly worried as she looked at his face.

[Greed]

He slide his arm out of her grasp.
"Look, I ain't ya' babysitter. Do whatever the hell ya' want." he said, flatly. He slid his hands into his pockets, and continued walking.

[silverviper2134]

She growled slightly, following after her (former?) lover. Once she was close enough, she slapped him. "Just tell me this, Greed: did you ever care about me, or did you just act like you did because of them. And now that they're gone, what are you going to do?"

"You know, you're children may still be alive" Marcoh said, quietly as though he wasn't sure he wanted anyone to hear.

Meanwhile, Envy turned to Wrath. "Come on, you bastard. Let's go" he said, morphing into a random soldier and beginning to head towards Central city.

[Greed]

Wrath latched onto Envy's arm, and began following the male happily.

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

He ignored her all the way up until she attempted to slap him, of which he caught her arm at the wrist.
He had a huge urge to just snap it, but he simply squeezed a little.
"Don't ever try that again. I might not be so nice next time." he said, ginning slightly.
"What? Do you feel I used you? Am I automatically up for the categorization of using people, just because I am one of them?" he said, sounding almost a bit sadistic.
"If that's the case, then why not do what I am supposedly good at? And use people. Oh! If that's the case, too, then how do you know I haven't been using you already?" he retorted, calling them out on some of their worst fears about him.
"How do you know, that this isn't some big ploy to just confuse people into thinking I am not with them when I am? H'uh?!" he asked, having said the things that at this point his whole group feared.
"Tch'. Follow me, or not. It's up to you. One thing's for sure, attack me again, and I won't be so nice." he said, turning around and once more walking.

[silverviper2134]

Martel seemed to consider what he had just said. Could he really be telling the truth and was just using them? No, he couldn't be. "I don't know about these guys, but I'm not leaving you. After all, you can't have all the fun, now can you?" she told him, walking towards him but staying a bit behind.

[Greed]

Greed let out a small 'heh' noise, and kept walking. Not waiting too much for Gluttony, Dorochette, and the bull dude, among the others.

[silverviper2134]

The others also began following after the homunculus. And, except for Gluttony, they all kept their distance. Martel had gotten a bit closer, but still stay a bit away from Greed, worried about how he'd respond if she came closer. Gluttony, however, waddled right up next to him. "Where we going brother?" he asked the other homunculus curiously, like a toddler.

[Greed]

"To a more.. 'Appropriate' place." he remarked, quite slyly.
As if he had a plane for such an occasion as this. He walked his way to a sewer line, popping up the lid.
"To get to the other place, we have to go through here. The best place to be right now, is the last place they would think we have the balls enough to be in." he said, flatly. Jumping in without so much as a glance.
"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." he chimed, sarcastically.

[silverviper2134]

The chimeras and Marcoh caught onto Greed's sarcasm in his final statement. They followed him into the sewers without a second thought. Gluttony was a bit confused, but also followed his "brother" into the sewers, knowing Greed would never do him wrong.

Once in the sewers, everyone was pretty calm, unaffected by the smell. Even this was heaven compared to what most of them were used to. However, Martel wasn' even thinking about that. She stood fairly close to Greed, while still putting a small amount of distance between them. After a few moments of silence, she finally spoke. "Sorry about all this".

[Greed]

Greed grunted.
"What's it to you? According to you, I am no better then them." he said, nearly in a hiss. Aiming it at her comment about accusing him for using her, and never caring.
That had hurt Greed deeper then he could care to admit, even to himself.
Not only did she say such a thing, but she even compared him to those things that call themselves people.
He then went silent, and continued walking.

[silverviper2134]

Martel flinched slightly. She understood what he meant, and felt he had a right to say so, but still, it hurt her in a way. "You know, you're right" she said, somewhat flatly, "You're right. If there's anyone here who should be compared to them, it's not you, it's me". Her voice was laced with a bit of guilt, showing exactly how she'd felt about the most recent events. After all, if she never been captured by Dante in the first place, it was very likely that none of this would have happened.

[Greed]

His surprise of what she just said, was only out matched by his sudden urge of anger toward her.
He turned on a heel, and abruptly slapped her, and not too softly either. This being one of the very first times he actually laid a hand on her as such.
"How could you-..!" he remarked, cutting himself short. Pocketing his hands, he stormed off. Gaining a small lead ahead of the others.

[silverviper2134]

She stepped back a bit, more out of shock than anything.The assault didn't hurt, not much at least, but still, she had felt herself flinch slightly as his hand made contact. For a few moments, she could say nothing. Finally, she said, mostly to herself, "I guess I deserved that" and followed after him, this time keeping her distance, in order to show she still had respect for him as her leader.

[Greed]

"Tch'..." he hissed toward her reaction.
"Whatever.." he continued, trying to put up the front he no longer cared. He reached a large dome shaped sewer line, after so many hours of walking. Of which led different ways.
"Keep up, this may be a sewer. But you get caught in those currents, there is no saving you." he said, flatly.
It looked like an obstetrical course. To make it to any of the other routes, they had to play a nice little game of acrobatics.
He continued to walk, making it to the edge of the starting line. Readying to start.

[silverviper2134]

The chimeras and Marcoh followed Greed, staying a bit behind him. They were all somewhat afraid to get to close, to be honest. Well, maybe not afraid, but they could tell he didn't want to be bothered.

Gluttony, however, had no such understanding. He walked right up to Greed and stared at him. "Brother upset?" he asked, placing a finger into his mouth and chewing on it slightly.

[Greed]

"I'm fine." he said, flatly.
"Can you keep up, Glut'?" he asked, seeming a bit concerned.
He looked over his head, tilting it a little. However, not giving much else of a waiting period, he thrusted himself into the air. Contorting his body to twist mid-air, and land horizontally on a wall. Thrusting himself to the right frontal exit. Him being one of the most agile in the group, a simple jump was all that was needed to cover the vast distance.
"Hurry up, I don't have time to wait." he ordered.

[silverviper2134]

"I can do it" Gluttony said, mimicking his 'brothers' actions as best he could. He did mess up on certain parts, but he did well enough.

Those who did not have the abilities of homunculi (the chimeras and the doctor) also did as their boss demonstrated. However, they did so at a slower rate, due to having to assist one another at a few moments. Soon, the group was near enough to Greed to be able to follow out the next order.

[Greed]

Greed's mind was full of thoughts, just swimming around in his head.
He turned on a heel and started down the hall.
He grinned at the thought of actually having some real fun, finally he could let loose and really show them what he was made of.
'I will show you the real reason why Dante fears me!' the memory of when he said that flashed in his head. Clenching his fists, and grinning wider.
His grin turns sadistic.
|You have no idea.. The real reason she fears me so much, why she fakes like I am nothing and puts on a facade around you making you think I am easy prey. You've not the smallest idea.| he thought.
He continued walking, a light at the end seemed to ricochet off the walls.
"Almost there." he said, idly.

[silverviper2134]

The group of chimeras and the doctor sighed in relief, picking up the pace slightly. They all wanted to get out of the sewers as quickly as possible. While being better than the damned labratory, it wasn't anywhere they'd like to live.

Gluttony, on the other hand, was having the time of his life. There were so many rats and lizards to munch on. It was a regular smorgusboard!

[Greed]

"I expected the Devil's nest to eventually be attacked on a larger scale like that." he said, ildy.
"So, I planned out other ways to get what I want." he added, simply.
The reached another larger doom area.
Though, in the middle of this one was a large island type path of ground. And upon it was a seemingly unphased, and rather large house.
"This is y'er new home." he commented, 'carbonizing' his arm to his elbow. There was a tile like square at his feet, with a transmutation circle on it.
"There is squares like this in all the other routes. They circles are only meant to react to me.
He knelled down, and placed his arm to the circle, in which glew.
The water around the area seemed to instantly drain out.
And from their location, a bridge formed to the island.
He began to cross it, looking down, he spat into the seemingly endless bottom.
No sound.
"This is, 'The hive.' I been working on this baby for 100s' of years. In between being sealed and everything. This is the pennical of both alchemy and technology." he said, reaching the door of that side.
His form being there activated some alchemy. The were seemingly transported to another location.
The process would make them quite sick to their stomachs.
"Takes a while to get used to." he said, once again idly.
"This is y'er new home." he said, collapsing into a very decorative chair. The whole place was covered in extravagant accessories. The things that were merely there for decoration, were beautiful.
Some items were priceless due to there old stature. This place must have been worth near priceless value.
Greed reclined in the chair, enjoying the air conditioning.
