568 568. Looking Badass

Alexander was on his way back to central. He was going back via train because he had gifted the Chinook to General Armstrong.

"Dobby, when we return, let's wrap things up quickly. We've waited long enough. With this new peace deal, I'm pretty sure no one can deny me if I become the Fuhrer." Alexander said.

"Sure, boss. I just hope you don't cut your mustache in a funny way and get rejected by an art school." Dobby joked.

Alexander laughed, "Haha, I'm confident of passing every art school except the one Amy runs. She's a god when it comes to painting. Ah, I miss the days when she was small. My cute little Amy."

"Dobby, let's find a wife for you soon," Alexander said suddenly.

"Where did this topic come from?" Dobby inquired.

"From my jealousy of seeing you so free and not being able to play with the kids of my best friend," Alexander replied. His reply actually made Dobby happy.

The little House Elf had traveled a long journey and being called best friend was always special to him.

*Sigh*

"Life is truly unpredictable. Where I was before meeting you, I used to only worry about cleaning houses and cooking, now I'm worrying about handling the most powerful oldest baby in the Omniverse for sister Olivia." Dobby japed.

"Oh really? I'm a baby now? I don't remember ever asking you for tittymilk. I guess now is the time." Alexander started joking.

...

At the same time, something was happening in the Central.

Hughes had successfully spread the news about Alexander being gone and also spread the word that Barry the Butcher was being secretly kept.

Thus, as expected, the Homunculi attacked. But they didn't take any chances this time as 4 of them were being sent on the mission. They were Envy, Lust, New Greed, and Wrath. Although Wrath was acting from hiding.

All of them headed straight to them at the warehouse. But Hughes was sure to make it so that Mustang also realizes that something was going to happen so that he could prepare himself for it.

"Alright, everyone. We are soon going to be attacked by some very powerful people. We do not know who they are or how powerful they are, but we do know that they are very dangerous." Mustang tried to motivate his men.

Suddenly a hand was raised from amongst the crowd. Mustang sighed in defeat. He had been getting annoyed by being a babysitter all this time.

"Yes, Ajax."

Ajax spoke with pride. "I know the people who will be attacking us. We met them in Dublith. They are called Homunculi. They have a philosopher's stone in their body that makes them powerful, immortal and also gives them extreme regenerative powers."

Everyone turned towards Edward and Alphonse. "Is he speaking the truth?" Mustang asked.

The two brothers meekly replied. "Yes, he is speaking the truth. But, for some reason, Fuhrer King Bradley also came there. It took him many tries to kill him by heavily hurting him, for example, beheading him."

"Hmm, so he has the power to kill them easily and yet did not catch him alive," Mustang muttered.

"Well, thanks for the information but it doesn't change anything." He replied.

"Can I cut people today?" Barry asked.

"Yes, that is if you can," Mustang said and put on his gloves.

"GET READY."

With that, everyone took positions. Currently, only Mustang's team and Major Armstrong were there. Armstrong wouldn't have come if his sister had not told him everything that happened at Briggs Fort.

*BOOM*

With an explosion, the entrance was blasted open and 4 figures entered the building. They were very fast, and everyone could see red lightning around the four figures.

"Hahaha, I can smell fear... this is going to be interesting." Envy laughed while running towards Second Lieutenant Heymans Breda.

"I ain't afraid of you... whatever you are." He replied and started shooting.

Envy easily dodged the bullets and reached him, but out of nowhere, a sticky bomb was thrown at Envy's face. They had come prepared.

*BOOM*

It was preset to explode in 2 seconds. It was not enough time for Envy to realize what it was and throw it away.

Once the dust settled, everyone saw the horror. Envy was missing a head but it was already regenerating.

"DON'T LET IT REGENERATE," Riza shouted.

Quickly, Second Lieutenant Heymans Breda again threw sticky bombs at Envy. He repeated it again and again.

Meanwhile, others made sure that no one could help Envy.

Lust had gone towards a guy she knew very well. "Hello there, we meet again."

Second Lieutenant Jean Havoc, who had been honey-trapped by her, was head over heels for her not too long ago, it took him a second to realize everything and that was fatal as by the time he could even take out the sticky bomb, Lust already had claws into his stomach.

"Foolish humans, so easy to fool, so easy to kill." She gracefully said.

"BUT... *ARGH*" He threw a mouthful of blood.

"HAVOC!" Mustang shouted and ran towards him. But, Lust already knew that Mustang was the most dangerous guy there. So, she quickly transmuted lots of water around them.

Then she dashed towards him and grabbed him by his neck. Riza was not far away and dashed to save Mustang. But, she was stopped by Greed, who looked like some guy from Xing.

"Stop there, missy, let's watch the show first." Greed flirted with her.

*BANG BANG* Riza shot him many times but nothing happened. Major Armstrong was also fighting Greed and he was shocked how a thin man was able to take his direct punches.

While Lust held Mustang by his neck. "I guess this is destiny, just like your best friend, you will also die by our hands."

"YOU KILLED Hughes?" Mustang asked, he was angered in a second.

But, he made a mistake. Edward and Alphonse who were fighting Wrath(Masked currently), stopped for a mini second when they heard this.

"Lt. Colonel Hughes is..." Alphonse muttered.

*CLANK*

Wrath cut Edward's non-metal legs. He fell to the ground. Ajax quickly slapped Alphonse, "Get out of it, fool. Look around you."

Alphonse was too shaken by the news. Ajax had no other option, although he had promised sister Riza that he'd stay away, he had to do something or everyone there would end up dying.

He went forward to fight Wrath. He had learned many moves from Hats by now.

"TIGER PUNCH," Ajax shouted. This move was a martial arts punch in which you punch the opponent's neck with your claw and rip his neck apart. With Ajax's strength, this was a deadly move.

But, Wrath was faster, he was able to dodge the attack, but not by too much. Ajax still got a hold on to his face. It was not as deadly as before, but he was still able to shred Wrath's cheeks and take off his mask.

"SEE! I TOLD YOU THIS IS THE FUHRER." Ajax shouted.

Bradley healed his face and looked at everyone coldly. "You all had a chance to live before, but now that you have seen my face, you all must die. KILL THEM."

His orders were accepted and it seemed that the Homunculi were hiding their true strength as Envy suddenly started moving even without the head. It caught the next sticky bomb and threw it back at Breda, who was able to barely escape but was still heavily injured.

Mustang was still caught by the neck.

"YOU" Mustang gritted his teeth and lifted his arm to transmute. But Lust cut his arm down.

"There, I made you just like the Fullmetal." She mocked.

"COLONEL!" Riza shouted and ran towards him, only to be grabbed by Greed from behind.

"STOP IN THE NAME OF MUSCLES." Major Armstrong came to support and destroyed Greed's head.

But Greed was still moving. He broke Riza's legs and then focused only on Mustang. "Ah, what a nuisance."

By now, everyone had horror in their eyes. They were not going to make it out alive.

"Al, RUN AWAY," Edward shouted and transmuted a wall between him and Wrath to give him a chance.

"NOT WITHOUT YOU, EDWARD," Alphonse didn't leave and looked even more resolved.

Ajax, meanwhile, directly fought Wrath toe to toe. Ajax's punches were breaking Wrath's sword which he would repair every time.

"Envy and Lust, give me a hand, will you. Father wants this Ajax alive. He will be a fine specimen." Bradley coldly said.

*BOOM*

Out of nowhere, a small knife flew by and struck Envy on the head. Then, a loud electric explosion happened. No one was able to see where it came from.

*BOOM*

Another one came and blasted Lust. It spoiled her cosmetics that she had applied to hide the cross scar gifted to her by Ajax and Alexander.

Then the knives stopped and music started to come. They were on the high alert then. They knew that whoever this man was must be either strong or foolish to give away his position with music.

*BAM*

The door opened and the lyrics of the song started.

...

Outside the Warehouse,

"Okay Dobby, to make my entrance grand, play some music. I need to look badass. You got that?" Alexander ordered.

Dobby took out his boombox and put it on his shoulder. They then started walking in. Soon, the tunes started playing.

Alexander didn't recognize the song and it felt too childish. But he put faith in Dobby's choice for now as he had not messed this up in a while now.

♫MUSIC♫

But, the moment Alexander stepped inside, the lyrics started and it made him stop in his way and look at Dobby with saddened and frustrated eyes. His eyes only conveyed one message. ~WHY?~

♫Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo...♫
