บท 188: Chapter 182 - Meeting Greed Again.
Walking on the busy streets of Dublith, Miyuki suddenly blinked, "I just realized - We forgot Barry?"
Tatsuya paused his footsteps as he kept walking, "it's better that he stays there and watch over the two."
Miyuki curled her lips with a smile, "Onii-sama, you forgot too? Right?"
"No," Tatsuya replied sharply.
Miyuki's eyes started to shine, "did you forgot because you were worried about Nina?"
Tatsuya glanced at her as his eyes turned to the streets that were more deserted now, "We should hurry."
Miyuki kept chuckling as she walked behind him.
Inside Devil's Nest,
It was as busy and dead at the same time. Busy - because there were many people inside - dead because they all seemed - Dead - in spirit.
The door to the bar opened, attracting everyone's attention.
But, before they could even look - they started falling asleep. Humans in the bar barely saw a shadow walking inside from the light.
Greed, who had been sitting on the sofa surrounded by Martel, Dolcetoo, Bido, and Roa, looked back with a beer bottle in his hand and a grin on his face. But, that grin soon disappeared, leaving only anger in its place. He jumped up, shooting his body towards the figure standing on the door. He punched out with all his strength, "You!!!! You came!!"
The man moved, raising his arms - he held his wrist, "You are a bad match for me...especially when compared to the others of your group." Above all, he was outside Central. Tatsuya didn't need to hide the fact that he could make their regeneration useless.
With a blasting discharge of blue electricity, Greed stepped back before falling on his knees.
"Greed!!!"
"What did you do?!"
"Step back!!!"
Greed's group of Chimera's surrounded him - trying to protect him.
Tatsuya walked near them with Miyuki before they passed them by.
Stepping on the other side of the bar table,
Tatsuya looked at Miyuki - who sat down in front of him, "Which one would you like?"
Miyuki's eyes watched all of them - she sniffed a few times before she pointed at one kept on the right side. In a corner, "there...that one is the best they have to offer."
"Oye! You! What are you trying to do?!" Martel glared at them in anger.
Her eyes glanced at Greed, who was writhing in pain.
"Saving your life," Tatsuya said as he poured the drink for Miyuki.
Dolcetto scoffed, "if this is the way you save a life - we don't want you to."
"Fuhrer Bradley is coming with his people to kill all of you."
*Gasps*
"What are you talking about?" Roa asked calmly. Bido that was sneaking to attack Tatsuya and Miyuki stopped his footsteps.
"He doesn't want us to meet Greed - more like - He doesn't want us to get answers from Greed. About his other Homunculi friends."
Greed, who had been writhing in pain, widened his eyes.
Suddenly, a few knives stuck into the ground near him, releasing an electrical discharge. The pain finally went away.
He raised his body - standing up.
"Hoh...so, they want me dead? Why now? Why would Fuhrer lead the charge?"
Tatsuya removed his sunglasses - showing his blind eyes, "because I'm a precious sacrifice, and they wouldn't want me to learn what you know. They can't take that risk. It would be a great hindrance in their plan."
"You seem to know a lot already!" Greed said with a wide grin as a drop of sweat appeared on his face.
"Just simple guesswork - like your Father is from Xerxes. He created this country because he didn't want to serve under any other and manipulate them - which he most likely did to Xerses king. His pride wouldn't allow him. So, with Philosopher stone making him immortal - he created a country of his own with a goal that spread across centuries. Amestris - his end goal? from what it looks like is to turn this country into a Philospher Stone...maybe there might be more."
Greed widened his eyes to the limit, "How is that simple?"
"You wear an Oroborus Tattoo like your brother and sisters. Let me guess - he removed his emotions - Lust, Greed, Pride, Sloth, Wrath, Gluttony, and Envy. He probably also has a god complex, so he got rid of what he thought made him human. His lair is underground of Central. You...his Greed... betrayed them - Wrath is the Fuhrer - Lust, Envy and Gluttony, I have seen them. Pride or Sloth is probably the one in the shadows. I personally think it is Pride - Sloth is probably busy making the circle. So...how much of all this is right?"
"Greed...what is he talking about?" Dolcetto asked apprehensively.
Martel looked at him with shivering eyes, "what does he mean turning this country into a Philosopher stone?"
Greed looked at them before looking at Tatsuya.
Miyuki glanced at the Chimera's before throwing a knife in front of them. She slowly drew a transmutation circle in front of her, activating it.
In front of the four - a map appeared, with the transmutation circle and places and year marked.
"We mean this..."
Martel fell to her knees, "Greed..." She shivered as she touched the name Ishval, "What is the meaning of this Greed!!!" She shouted. They were part of a strike team that assassinated the people of Ishval - the war began because of them.
To think that something like this...they were a part of something like this...something so evil.
Greed glanced at her without answering her - He glared at Tatsuya, "if you know all that - then why are you here?"
"To save you."
"They don't know you that you know everything, do they?!" Greed started laughing maniacally, "Those fools still think they are in control!!'
"No, they still think I am in the dark, and I'm in someways...I don't know about the sacrifice they talked about."
"What do you get in return?" Greed asked, narrowing his eyes as his laugh lessened.
"Hmm..."Tatsuya smiled, drinking the gin. He glanced at them, scared, shivering, confused. "Leave...before you are killed and live so that we can meet again."
"Never! This is my place! I will not leave!!" Greed shouted, laughing.
Suddenly, electricity discharged from his feet, paralyzing him.
"Take him and run away... live...He will give you the answers you want once you are away. Go North."
Roa watched him before picking up Greed, "Why...?"
"Don't you already have an answer to that?"
Roa fixed his gaze at Tatsuya nodded, "We'll meet again...Sage..."
He turned around, leaving.
Bido looked back at Tatsuya and Miyuki before following him.
Dolcetto followed him in shock, "wait!! We are leaving?!!"
Martel also shouted at Roa, "Roa!"
Roa glanced at them, "follow me...we won't have much time to get away."
Although they shouted...they silently followed after him.
After they left, Miyuki kept gazing at her glass, "we should leave too?" Tatsuya put his hands together before putting them on the bar table.
Shortly the blue discharge of electricity covered the whole room, even underground. The place slowly transmuted, turned into ruins. If someone saw it - they would see that there was a big fight here. As for those who had fallen asleep were trapped under single rubble. As if someone had kept them there to protect them.
"Such a mess..." Miyuki muttered.
Tatsuya blinked at her, "Now that it is broken...I want to repair it and break it physically."
Miyuki's lips touched the wine as a smile appeared on her face, a glint in her eyes, "Onii-sama is becoming more violent..."
Tatsuya leaned in closer to her, "I'm becoming more than just violent..."
Miyuki let out a breath, "what do you mean..."
Tatsuya's thumb touched her lips, "what do you think I mean?"
Miyuki stood up, stepping back, "that is a big no..." She turned around, hiding her face from Tatsuya.
Tatsuya blinked before smiling, "I meant I feel tired...I thought we should get some rest before they come."
Miyuki tightened the grip on her hands, "Onii-sama..." She glared back at him in anger.
Tatsuya raised his hands, "fine...don't get angry. It just that it is so much fun to tease you...Miyuki. You are really cute."
Miyuki came near him again, with a blushing smile on her face, "that won't help you..."
Tatsuya leaned in, kissing her lips, "will this?"
Miyuki stared deep in his eyes, "maybe..."
When Fuhrer Bradly and others reached Devil's Nest. They stopped in front of Devil's Nest.
"What an interesting discovery for such a routine inspection - Move in!"
"Yes, Sir!"
They hastily rushed in, weapons prepared, guns loaded, resolved. But, the moment they stepped in, they were stunned.
Major Armstrong murmured, "what is this?"
There were blood and chaos all around filling the room - rubble - broken tables, chairs, and bottles filled the place. Food, wine glasses filled the floor.
"Tatsuya! Miyuki!"
"Major Armstrong..." Miyuki waved at him with a smile. She was sitting on the stool in front of the Bar table. While Tatsuya was standing behind it, leaning on it.
"Hoh...May I ask what are you two doing here?" Fuhrer Bradley walked in. Looking at them sharply.
Tatsuya stood up straight, "We thought those who ruled this place were Chimera's. We fought against them, and they did turn out to be Chimera's. But they ran away before we could capture them."
"Chimera?" Fuhrer fixed his gaze at them.
"Yes, after the Shou Tucker incidents, we realized that what we saw here during our trip. We thought that they were the product of cutting edge alchemy. But realizing that it was not so...we came here to ask them some questions." Tatsuya explained.
"And did you get any answer?"
Miyuki pursued her lips, shaking her head, "those people didn't have any plans to fight against us or answer us. Every moment they tried their best to run away. Except for their leader..."
"Their leader?"
"Yeah - but the moment Onii-sama knocked him out, they took him - and ran away."
"He was a strange one...their leader..." Tatsuya muttered.
"Strange? How?" Armstrong asked them.
"He could heal from all injuries that I inflicted - it was a tough battle."
Fuhrer watched them, "and they said nothing?"
"Not really..." Suddenly Tatsuya's eyes sharped, "were they supposed to know something?"
Fuhrer closed his eyes, smiling, "they were renegades of the Army, or so my intel tells me. I wondered how much they knew or of their purpose."
Tatsuya took Miyuki's hand, "if that is how it is - we will be taking our leave."
Fuhrer tightened the palm holding sword hilt the moment Tatsuya and Miyuki passed beside him. But let go the next moment.
