You wanna play? Everyone's dead... so I got bored. Did you come to play with me?

It's true! I know Brother lies sometimes, but he's telling the truth this time!
Thanks for the support, Al.
(flashback to the night they tried to bring back their mother) No... it isn't what I wanted... it's all my fault... I'm sorry... Give him back... He's my brother... My leg, my arms, my heart... I'll give you whatever you want... just give him back... HE'S MY BROTHER!

And the military man slung him over his back and carried him all the way to South Headquarters for questioning.
What a shame, but good for you for finding him. He sounds special. I want you to forget about tracking the "Smellric Brothers" for now and keep your eye on the little imp. You got it? [Greed hangs up] Turns out those Elric boys are exactly as you described them.
Yes, I'm sure they'll be of great use to you.
When I first heard that Envy, Pride and the rest were after these twerps I didn't give a damn anyway. I just wanted to grab the boys myself to piss off the others. But now the boys have led us to someone actually worth chasing. To think there's a homunculus, like me, who can honestly use alchemy. We need to have him on our side, or things may get complicated later.
DDorchet
Let me break him out, sir.
Have you gone insane? You can't just go charging into that place. It's a bloody fortress! You're a former military lab rat. I shouldn't have to tell you that.
KKimbley
Not that anyone asked but I used to be stationed at South Headquarters back in the day
MMartel
You're right. We didn't ask, so keep your trap shut, state alchemist.
No. Sense you so passive-aggresively volunteered, perhaps you can guide these two there. But, if I learned you've betrayed our cause, I won't be so friendly.
KKimbley
You can rest easy, "boss man". All I'm really wanting, is the chance to make some fireworks again.
KKimbley
[claps his hands, touching the Southern HQ wall] Hmm... looks like I'll need some more sulfur. [clotheslines a passing soldier] That'll do!
Did the Fullmetal one say your arm and your leg belonged to him?
Ye-Yes...
Well maybe that explains how you were able to come through the gate, and survive this long on your own.
Gate? Gate!
Easy... you don't have to be alone any longer, little one. Now... Eat up... Come on... Yes. Savor the taste as it covers your tongue...
Human lives?
What's wrong? I thought you liked them... Oh, well... I guess you won't be needing the rest of these, or my help. Run along, now. Get caught, and give back that arm and leg...Look at that... You can even perform Alchemy. It truly is awe-inspiring what a couple of human limbs can do. Listen... I was raised on these stones of life. I fancy the taste, myself... The reason is because I'm not human... I'm a homunculus. And since you're enjoying them as well... That means you're not human, either...
Well, hello, Ultimate Shield.
Hello yourself, Ultimate... Oh, wait. You like to be called "abomination", don't you?
You were sealed in a prison for more than a century and you still haven’t learned your lesson, Greed?
Yes, forgive me if my name-calling’s gotten a little stale. It's been hard to keep my jokes current in a cell.
Envy': What did you do with the skull?
Why? I smash it to million pieces, of course.
[Edward sees Wrath choking Izumi]
[throws a rock] Get off her!
[Wrath jumps back. Izumi coughs a few times]
[transmutes his arm into a blade and runs toward them] You bastard!!
Either because of love or out of foolish curiosity, human transmutations are attempted. And when these attempts all backfire, a different life is created. A being that has its own body and mind, but no soul. That is how the damned are born. That is a homunculus!
I remember it, I can picture it all, the only thing I could do was sit and wait in the absolute darkness inside the Gate. I just kept waiting and waiting, all the while my body was slowly growing. And then one day, an idiot dropped by! He had already given his leg and now he stuck his arm across the threshold. He was screaming and crying, "Give me back my little brother!" I took his limbs for myself.
[to Ed] Thank you for the arm and leg! [to Izumi] Thank you for this incomplete life! Nothing can match my gratitude. Not even my hate.
I just stopped by to see an old friend and who should I find in her mansion. Well... as long as I'm here I should have some fun.
MMartel
Hello.
Who are you guys?
MMartel
We're kidnappers.
Who are you kidnapping?
RRoa
You, Alphonse Elric. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to come with us, now.
But my teacher taught me never to go anywhere with strangers.
Don't be ridiculous. How old are you?
14
If you're that old, you should be able to think and act for yourself by now, am I right? Listen kid, if you ever wanna be a man, then you gotta act like one. You can't let your teacher run your life forever, right?
I see... I should think for myself!
Now you're talking... Then we're clear, you're gonna come with us-[knocked out by Al]
I decided not to go with strangers. That's my decision and mine alone!
MMartel
Well... this should be fun.
Sorry about this, I know how creepy this has to be, but I’m supposed to keep an eye on you, so you’ll have to… Bare with me a while…
It’s alright I’m already used to it. Just be careful about my blood seal, okay? If you accidentally touch it, I could die… (Looks down, then up) Hey, how’d you guys get to be chimeras anyway?
Well, we were stationed in the east on assignments, some were injured, others well, let’s just say we weren’t useful anymore. They took us some where, for experiments…
Laboratory Five?
That’s right. Greed, he saved us from that damn place and offered all of us jobs working for him if we wanted.
Greed?
He took us out of the cages, and gave us something we could all call home.
That’s right guys. See? This place is handcrafted for outlaws, who don’t fit in on the outside, can hide out for a while.
Tucker…? Tucker! Why are you here?
Don’t misunderstand, Al, I’m not here by choice, I promise.
CChimera
If things don’t go as planned, the doctor here’s the only one who can cure us chimeras.
I’ll be damned, just like you said, Dr. Tucker, he really is empty inside…
But! But, I’m not the one who told them how to apprehend you, Al.
It’s a pleasure to meet you, kid. You can just call me Greed. I’m your new friend.
Uh! A tattoo of the oroboros!
Hmm, so you know what that is. Well, this should go quickly then.
That makes you a friend of Envy, Lust, and the others, doesn’t it?
I wouldn’t say ‘friends,’ more like sworn enemies, if you want to get down to the grit.
I don’t get it…
See, Al? That is your name right? Tell me, how does it feel to have your soul bound to that armor? To exist as a chunk of solid metal rather then a soft and cushy human worm. To be unaffected by weaknesses, like hunger, fatigue, and old age… You could call that, eternal life, couldn’t you?
Eternal life…? That’s why you kidnapped me?! Eternal life!?
They don’t call me Greed for nothing! I want money! Women! Status! And power! I want everything this world’s selling and eternity is topping the list! Understand? You can help me achieve what I’m going for, Al. And you will help me here, because if you don’t tell me how your soul’s bound to that armor… I’ll break it apart to find out.
I won’t help you. You’re a bad person.
You can act tough for a while if you insist. Just remember that no one’s on their way to save you, kiddo. So you’re at my mercy now.
My brother knows you took me! I bet he’s on his way right now-
Oh, yeah about him. See when I left him he wasn’t feeling too good.
You better not have hurt my brother! You let your guard down. Now, all I need to do is use this chain to-
To do what exactly? Now that was, silly. Oh, sorry bout that Marta. I forgot you were keeping house… Hehehe, I like a man with guts. But, did you honestly think it’d be that easy? I mean if you really want to hurt me you have to do something, kind of like… (Roa knocks Greed's head off)
What did you do that for? I thought he was your friend?!
Teacher!
I'm sorry, who the hell are you?
PISSED OFF!
