5When Pride stood before the Truth, it had been most demeaning for him. To look back and realize that Edward Elric had defeated him by destroying his ability, his pride.
the humans believed that Sloth was the most dangerous and put him in a clear container that couldn't be broken with pure strength. Wrath was bound tightly by chains and cuffs, as if that would stop him. Pride the Arrogant had been given a small room and was unbound.
they locked the door to keep him in his confines. how laughable.
His "room" was bare of any creature comforts and only had a desk and bed. The walls a uniform grey, there was nothing to look at or do, only wait.
A few hours passed before a blond haired woman entered his small domain. Dressed in a suit and with her hair done up she reminded him of Hawkeye. In her left hand was a clipboard and pen and in her right was a chair. Setting the chair down she made herself comfortable and introduced herself.
"My name is Dr. Sofia, and I would like to get to know you a bit better."
She smiled to try to ease him into being comfortable. As if he were a human child.
Pride did not answer and only stared at her implacably. Should he go for fear, shock, or an innocent approach for dealing with this human?
"We have on your profile that your name is Selim Bradley. Are you related to Mr. Bradley?"
She clicked the end of her pen again as she waited for his answer.
Using his shadows he bound her to the chair.
"How brave. How foolish. To believe that I'm not dangerous simply because I appear to look at a tender age."Her fear was palpable, her breath sped up and she began to sweat as she recognized the error of her ways.
The room darkened as the shadows stretched out in unnatural ways. A hidious visage of teeth and eye's dotted the length of the walls an ceiling.
The shadows that held her in place began to slide up her body and wrapped around her neck. As a show of force he squeezed tightly, she struggled for a moment before going slack. her eyes rolled back and he released her.
It wouldn't do to kill his new hostage. Pride would use her to gain some information.
At that moment several men with guns entered the rooms. As fast as lightning, teeth and shadow jutted out from the floor; Snatching the weapons from them and snapping them all in half.
The previously armed men jumped back in alarm.
"Hold." the one worded command came from a dark skinned man, he wore all black and wore an eye patch.
This one seemed to be in charge.
Pride lifted his female hostage like a puppet.
An alarm went off blaring loudly.
Wrath unlocked the cuffs to his wrist and glancing around saw no more guards. The last one standing had managed to send a distress signal through a small handheld device.
Alarms pitched with loud intensity.
'It's too bad i don't have any of my swords.'
Wrath figured he was somewhere near the other homunculi but without any evidence of such, he picked a direction and began running. with a little luck he might find some of his comrades.
He slowed down as he heard steps coming from the direction he was headed.
A lone woman stood in his way.
