It was as if a mental alarm went off, as everyone immediately charged at HQ.

HQ obviously sent out their men to defend but in just a mere matter of seconds, they were immediately overrub by a superior squad from the Black Jacks as well as their tanks holding up fort and controlling the front entrance.

With that taken care of easily, they waited for the back as HQ got another group of men to hold fort expecting a rush, only for them to get ambushed by Hyperion Valkyries from above as one by one the men immediately fell as the back was now taken over, and with Theresa successfully taking over the rooftop and getting an aerial view of HQ'a surroundings, all the entrance ways were taken up.

Now as that was settled, Alex walked up to the entrance.

"Infiltration Squad! Come with me at once!"

As that was said, the squad came as Ed, Al, Weiss, Kiana, Himeko, Mei, and Bronya all walked up to the front.

"Hm? Weiss. Where's Becky?" Asked Alex.

"She's on her way. Trust me."

"Alright then. Anyways, be ready. On any floor could be a Homunculus waiting for us. It's likely they're stalling time until Wrath gets here." Said Alex.

"So, how do we beat a Homunculus?" Asked essentially the entire information squad excluding Ed and Al.

"Simple. We kill them. Make them overwork they Philosopher's Stone so much that their energy runs dry."

They all nodded as they slowly walked in.

The base floor was empty, mostly cause all the men were fighting outside.

As their eyes darted around the room, suddenly, a large sharp object aimed at them as they all jumped out of the way and then a large thud was heard as dust flew up.

The group looked ahead to see their first two Homunculi of the day, Lust and Gluttony.

"Glad to see the heroes here. Especially you three." Said Lust pointing at the sacrifces, Ed, Al, and Alex.

"We don't have time for you." Said Alex.

"We know. Which is why we don't allow you time."

"Can I, eat them all now?" Asked Gluttony.

As the group got ready to fight, Weiss walkes out front.

"We'll handle these two." Said Weiss.

"We'll? But Becky isn't-." Before Alex could finish talking, Gluttony had suddenly gotten decked in the face so hard that half of it was blown off.

Gluttont got launched off to the wall as Lust stared in shock at who the culprit was

"What the?" Said Alex confused.

Everyone in there was confused except Weiss.

"Nice timing Becky!" Shouted Weiss.

"W-Wait what?"

"That's Becky's power armor."

"THAT'S BECKY!?"

"Stop talking and move on!" Shouted Becky from within the armor.

The group nodded as they all moved on leaving Weiss and Becky left with Lust and Gluttony.

"Well well. We can take on the tall one in armor." Said Lust ready to attack Becky until she got a bullet through her head from Weiss.

"You ever heard the phrase big things come in small packages? Well, I suggest you don't ignore me or else?"

Lust looked at the short Dutch and chuckled. "What can a short girl like you do to me? All you have is that gun in your hands." Said a highly confident Lust.

"Jokes on you. I don't even need to use it right now." Said Weiss, putting her Beretta 92 handgun back in its pouch on her waist.

"A cocky little human. What a great first prey. Gluttony, you handle the armored one for now. I'll take the short one." Said Lust who was very positive that she would win.

Though, the moment Lust said that, Weiss was immediately in her face and decked her hard as Lust stumbled back.

"Less talking and more ass kicking." Said Weiss as she dashed again.

Lust stuck her habd out as her nails turned into blades as they extended, all aimed at Weiss.

Weiss' small short body allowed her to easily weave and dodged betwern the blades as she attempted to kick Lust's face only for Lust to block the kick and jabbed a spear into Weiss' shoulder

The moment the blood came out, Weiss immediately drew her hand gun and put a different colored bullet into Lust's forehead.

As soon as it made contact, Weiss jumped away immediately as suddenly the bullet exploded and caught fire which engulfed Lust.

She screamed in agony as she had to use a lot of her Philosopher's Stones energy to regenerate her body, though, she was now weaker.

"W-What the hell type of bullet was that!?" Shouted Lust.

"An HE-I. A Hugh Explosive Incendiary. To put it short like myself, this bullet will explode and catch fire once it comes into contact with anything, like you."

"Well, I commend you for a nice shot. Just try it again." Said Lust as this time she charged at Weiss.

As those two continued, the two other people here, Becky in her power armor and Gluttony were having their own fight.

Oddly, Gluttony was in huge trouble as he was being tossed around like a ragdoll by Becky.

"Ya know, for being thicc like me, you ain't got the damn strength for it! You steroid motherfucker!" Shouted Becky as she kicked Gluttony hard sending him crashing through a table.

Gluttony slowly got up, growling, until suddenly, he lot out a roar and transformed into something grotesque

Becky started but kept her smile on her face. "There ya go. Seems like you finally grew some balls!"

The transformed Gluttony dashed at Becky, only for Becky to easily dodge causing Gluttony to ram into a wall.

This dazed Gluttony as he stubmled back as Becky's power armor arm jammed deep into Gluttony as Becky felt around for something, until she felt the stone.

"Well well. Time to say goodbye!"

In a feat of amazing proportions, Becky without needing any weapons and just needing herself and armor, CRUSHED Gluttony's Philosopher's Stone like it was nothing.

Becky pulled her arm out as Gluttony reverted to his orignal transformation as he disintegrated and died.

Right as that happened, Becky heard Weiss yelp and she turned to see Lust had stabbed Weiss through her stomach as she pulled away and Weiss fell.

"Alright get over here yo-!"

Suddenly, Becky felt sharp pain on both sides.

She looked down to see Lust haf pierced through her armor and stabbed her abdomen on both sides, dangerously close to her kidneys.

"Well well. This cinderall story is over." Said Lust as she had a blade stab and remove the helmet to reveal Becky in pain.

Lust then destroyed the arms of the power armor.

"Think you got strength now you dumb ginger?" Said Lust. "Face it you damn idiot. Your nothing without your armor. Your weak now. And your about to die. Such a shame."

Lust lifted Becky high into the air, still having her blades stuck in her as it would cause Becky to slip deeper down her blade.

Becky held in a pained grunt, as she had a smile again.

"What're you smiling for? Happy that your gonna die at the hands of a superior race?"

"God. Why don't you shut up? You damn big tiddy goth bitch."

"W-What!?"

At that moment, a knife was suddenly jammed in between Lust's chest, right where her Ouroboros Symbol was.

Lust turned to see Weiss slowly standing up with a smile as she had thrown the knife.

She went to take out her Beretta 92 handgun as suddebly, Becky pushed her hands into the small slice that the knife made and shockingly began to spread Lust's chest wide open.

Lust screamed a ton as Becky spread it so far, her Philosopher's Stone was visible, hanging by a vein.

"Weiss now!" Becky kicked off Lust pulling the blades out of her abdomen as she jumped away.

Weiss shot another Incendiary round as the bullet flew.

Time slowed for Lust as she saw the bullet made contact with stone, and then BANG!

The stone and Lust completely blew apart.

Soon, the fire went away and Becky crushed the remains of Lust's stone under her power armor boot as the two high fived each other.

The first fight has been won.
