"Ed!" "You little shit!" "Lin!" "You bastard!" "Kill... me..." "Save me..." "Please... kill me!" "Please..." "I want to die..." "Mommy!" "idiot?" "!" "Why are you hesitating?" "!" "There are..." "There are people inside of him..." "They want our help." "No!" "They're monsters!" "But..." "Pull yourself together!" "They're monsters!" "Kill me!" "Mommy!" "Please!" "Give me back my child!" "Shut up!" "Stop it!" "Dad!" "It hurts..." "Help me!" "Stop it!" "Ed." "Let's play." "Let's play." "Playtime's over." "Damn it..." "Help me..." "You don't understand the pain..." "Ed!" "Wake up!" "Come to your senses!" "Join us!" "Ed!" "Ed!" "Good!" "Good!" "bring it over this way!" "Oh yeah." "I saw it over by the waste plant earlier." "it was with some huge guy in an armor." "Armor?" "Don't tell me it's the one from yesterday!" "I'll never forgive him for kidnapping Shao May!" "Demon!" "Devil!" "Loincloth!" "There she is!" "Shao Ma" "Wait." "That fat one... they called him a Homunculus." "Homunculus?" "Their regeneration ability matches that of an immortal." "We can't jump in carelessly." "Immortal?" "This is my chance!" "Let's go after him!" "I told you." "He's not an easy opponent." "Why are those two together?" "What's wrong?" "This place... is strange." "but..." "This is..." "There are things crawling beneath my feet... and a lot of them..." "What's wrong?" "Are you cold?" "You okay?" "This way." "I never would've thought something like this was under Central..." "W-What the heck is this?" "!" "That was done by the gatekeepers." "Gatekeepers?" "They won't attack you if you're with me." "There's something up there." "Do we still have a long way to go?" "A long way." "right?" "right?" "Father knows everything." "right?" "Brother..." "What's that?" "A red... stone?" "Envy's core." "A philosopher's stone." "there's one right in front of me..." "Envy!" "It stinks in here!" "What?" "We may be able to get out of here!" "Envy!" "What in the world are these?" "They are chimera." "There's no end to them." "No..." "As I thought... there's something beneath us..." "Are they chimera?" "No." "Is this... a person?" "!" "Father made us all!" "and Envy!" "It's loud up there." "Someone's coming... or even my own name." "No..." "I don't remember if I was abandoned or sold before I had even been given a name." "Which one of you will lead this country?" "Will it be you?" "We were called the "Führer President Candidates"." "And we were all gathered into one place and educated in many different fields." "anthropology... and swordsmanship until we were highly capable." "Don't sweat it." "He was just a pawn for you to achieve your goal." "I will lead this country someday." "I endured the toughest of trainings." "He was no good either." "Next." "Lie down here." "Umm..." "What is this about?" "Relax." "It'll be over soon." "What are you planning to do?" "!" "Those bodies are... huh?" "Are you the one who will receive my wrath?" "A philosopher's stone is a high energy substance that includes the souls of many humans." "it goes on a rampage and tries to take over." "The destruction and reconstruction by the stone is repeated until either the body dies or wins." "Eventually..." "Amazing!" "A new species of life!" "Congratulations." "You've been selected to be the man who will lead this country." "He will prepare everything you may need." "your name shall be..." "King Bradley!" "All that was left was a soul and the emotion of wrath." "or if it was mine to begin with." "sir?" "You're telling me to go back to being a human?" "That's impossible." "This body has far surpassed human capabilities." "It's far superior." "we are proud to be Homunculi." "as well." "Ow." "Just something temporary." "Thanks." "I've collected all the ones around here." "Are these all from Xerxes?" "Yeah." "It's a portion of the mural that was in a temple in the ruins. like the one beneath Research Laboratory 5." "But I was wrong." "The sun represents the soul." "The moon represents the mind." "And this stone which has the mural on it." "This represents the body." "Come on... explain it so I can understand." "what was drawn there is a circle for human transmutation." "Human transmutation?" "to raise the dead..." "No." "The principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange." "at least through alchemy." "I've confirmed that." "I've thought of a way to get out of here." "What if I transmute myself from scratch..." "A human that's alive?" "Transmute from scratch?" "Yeah." "then put myself back together." "That's also human transmutation." "The gate should open. shouldn't we be able to get to the real world by going through the real gate?" "I'll open the gate; you guys leap in." "What if this doesn't work?" "Then we suffer from rebound." "All of the effects of the rebound go to the one who attempted it." "me." "I know nothing about alchemy." "I'll leave it to you." "All right." "there's something I need to ask you." "The mural I saw at Xerxes looked like this." "I'm curious about this symbol." "but flipped over." "And the dragon with two heads." "This represents the perfect being." "and become the perfect being." "People think of outrageous things." "It would be wonderful if they had only thought about it." "The problem here is... which is broken off." "A lion that swallows the sun." "This represents the philosopher's stone." "And the ingredients of philosopher's stones are live humans." "Envy?" "you're right." "perish overnight?" "Where did its citizens go?" "Isn't a portion of the ruins in here to cover up the evidence?" "didn't you?" "!" "Who did it?" "!" "Who transmuted themselves?" "!" "Who's the one who turned all of the country's people into a philosopher's stone for tremendous power for the sole purpose of becoming a being that would surpass God?" "!" "Is it the "Father" that you talked about?" "the Homunculi?" "!" "I'll tell you if you get us out of here." "Fullmetal Alchemist." "right?" "Use it." "Help me!" "just kill me!" "aren't they?" "and they are beings who are solely used as an energy source." "They don't even remember what they used to look like." "Are you sympathizing with them?" "What a stupid emotion." "too." "You hesitate to set fire to coal because you feel sorry for a tree that died ages ago?" "They can't return to being human anymore." "alchemist." "All right." "tell everyone about what these guys are up to." "Whatever happens to Amestris isn't my problem." "Hey!" "right?" "Get out of here alive and tell them yourself." "I'm sorry." "Please let me use your souls." "Let's do this!" "I thought that pose of putting their hands together looked similar to something..." "It's almost like a prayer to God." "It's been a while since I've done this." "I never thought I'd open it again... under this situation." "Lin!" "Jump in!" "alchemist!" "This is the same sensation I felt while being swallowed by Gluttony..." "Thank you..." "Thank you..." "The body and the soul are connected by the mind." "A part of my body is before the Gate of Truth." "I should be able to get to the gate... so you didn't come here to get your body back?" "right?" "Yeah." "I can find clues on how to find my brother..." "I'm here." "Why are there two gates?" "Al!" "Al!" "Come here!" "Hurry up!" "Al!" "Al!" "I can't." "You're not my soul." "I can't go with you." "Alphonse!" "Alphonse!" "Alphonse!" "I'll come and bring you back." "Wait for me." "Wait for me!" "like a wavering flame." "but can also be a flame of hope." "Fullmetal Alchemist:" "Banquet at the Crevice." "You mustn't be afraid of the darkness inside of you."
