Monster - Envy X Reader: Part 16

"Alright...Ling, (Y/N), this might not work out for me. If so, you gotta warn people about these guy's plans." Edward nodded once.

"Hmph." Ling turned away, smirking. "I'm not that concerned about Amestris, it's not my country."

"You serious?!" he snapped.

"Oh boy..." (Y/N) facepalmed.

"You've got people you love waiting for you, don't you?" he continued. "So just make it back alive...and tell them yourself."

Edward looked up at the trapped souls in Envy. "I'm sorry...but I need to use you." He slowly started to bring his shaky hands together. "Get ready!"

"Alright!" (Y/N) called from her spot on the circle.

His hands clapped together, then he thrust them onto the ground palms first. "Long time no see," he whispered to the huge eye forming in the circle.

"Whoah!" She squinted her eyes against the bright light. "So cool!"

"Too bad this isn't why I planned on opening you again. Ling, jump in it!" Edward commanded.

"You better know what you're doing! I'm trusting you!" Ling slowly stepped in, his body disintegrating.

"Now you, (Y/N)!" he continued. She nodded, then quickly jumped in.

"Okay, ow..." (Y/N) sat up, groaning. The first thing she saw was Alphonse hugging his brother. "Heh, good for them." The second thing she saw was that they weren't outside. They were in a dark, dirty room with a tall ceiling. "Okay, what the hell?"

"This is someone surprising, people emerging from his stomach." A tall, pale man stepped out of the shadows. "Are you two the Elric brothers?"

"So...you're not..." Edward trailed off.

"Have you mistaken me for someone else?" He thought for a moment. "Hold on...the name you seek! By any chance, do you mean Van Hohenheim?"

"What is going on, Envy?" (Y/N) whispered. No response.

"Who the hell are you?!" Edward demanded. The strange man just began talking to himself. "LISTEN!" Edward cried.

"Brother!" They all watched as the mysterious man restored Alphonse's missing arm and Edward's broken one.

"Few broken ribs as well." He healed those with red sparks of light flying everywhere.

"It's like how Homunculi heal themselves." (Y/N) looked on, fascinated.

"There isn't any equivalent exchange!" the brothers said at the same time.

"You aren't human! What are you?!" Ling brandished his sword. "What the hell's inside you?!"

"I would ask who you are, but I honestly don't care."

"Ooooooh," (Y/N) droned. "Savage."

"(Y/N), be quiet," Envy whispered. "He might kill you if he knows you're here. Hide." He wrapped his tail around her.

"You can go ahead and eat him." The man pointed to Gluttony, who had been silent up until that moment.

"Okay!"

"What?! No, hold on! Don't!" Edward and Alphonse rushed to Ling's side. "This guy's our friend, and you wanna keep us happy, right? So don't kill him! Please!"

"But I have no need for him. Your friendship doesn't make him any less useless." The man walked towards Gluttony.

"What did you say?" Edward murmured.

"Brother, the Homunculi keep calling this guy their Father!" Alphonse informed him. "I think he's the one who created them!"

"What?"

"He did heal our wounds, though."

"He didn't heal mine." Ling staggered forward.

Good thing I'm not that injured, (Y/N) thought.

"I don't like him..." He raised his sword slightly. "I can tell he looks down on humans and calls us fools!"

'Father' turned around. "When you notice an insect on the ground, do you stop to consider it a fool?"

Not really. (Y/N) shifted slightly. God, this is bad.

"The life of an insect is so beneath you that it would be a waste of your time to even consider judging it."

Okay, good point.

Edward clapped his hands together and send a row of tall stones barreling towards him. "Look, you might've healed our wounds, but that does NOT mean we're friends! It's pretty apparent that you're the root of all this evil! I'm taking you down and I don't care how many cronies you got!"

Edward, you idiot!
