1. Alchemy is the science of
understanding, decomposing,
Copy !req
2. and reconstructing matter.
Copy !req
3. However, it is not an all-powerful art.
Copy !req
4. It is impossible to create
something out of nothing.
Copy !req
5. If one wishes to obtain something,
Copy !req
6. something of equal value must be paid.
Copy !req
7. This equivalent exchange
is the basis of alchemy.
Copy !req
8. Alchemists have a taboo,
and it is human transmutation.
Copy !req
9. It is that which no one must commit.

Copy !req
36. The first branch of the
National Central Library,
Copy !req
37. which held Marcoh's research
materials, had been lost to fire.
Copy !req
38. With the aid of Sheska,
who had been a librarian,
Copy !req
39. Ed and Al were still able
to obtain the research materials.
Copy !req
40. However...
Copy !req
41. The ingredients for a
Philosopher's Stone... are live humans.
Copy !req
42. In search of further truth, Ed and Al sneak into
Copy !req
43. the dilapidated 5th Laboratory.
Copy !req
44. You move pretty well, for as big as you are.
Copy !req
45. It wouldn't be worth fighting you otherwise.
Copy !req
46. W-Who are you?!
Copy !req
47. I'm Number 66. At least,
that's what my work name is.
Copy !req
48. I'm going to take you apart, nice and neat.
Copy !req
49. Just relax, and scream!
Copy !req
50. What is this?
Copy !req
51. Is it possible that this is for
transmuting a Philosopher's Stone?
Copy !req
52. That is correct.
Copy !req
53. I don't know who you are, kid,
Copy !req
54. but if you can tell that just by
looking at the transmutation circle...
Copy !req
55. Who are you, pops?
Copy !req
56. I am the one charged with guarding this place.
Copy !req
57. I'll go by the name "Number 48" for now.
Copy !req
58. And by the way, I'm not your pop.
Copy !req
59. I have orders to dispose of
any outsiders that come in here.
Copy !req
60. Don't think ill of me, kid.
Copy !req
61. I could say the same.
Copy !req
62. Don't go thinking ill of me,
once you're defeated by a "kid."
Copy !req
63. Hmm, you're an alchemist, are you?
Copy !req
64. Let's have a look at what you've got.
Copy !req
65. Your prosthetic arm just saved your life.
Copy !req
66. However,
Copy !req
67. my trusty sword will pierce even steel!
Copy !req
68. Hey, hey, hey!
Copy !req
69. Let me guess, pops, you're
hollow on the inside, aren't you?
Copy !req
70. I'm impressed that you realized that.
Copy !req
71. I spar against someone
like you all the time, you see.
Copy !req
72. Oh, so there are those like me
on the outside, too, are there?
Copy !req
73. Well, that's annoying. Imagine,
there's some other idiot out there
Copy !req
74. who came up with the idea of
bonding a soul to a suit of armor!
Copy !req
75. Let me introduce myself once again.
Copy !req
76. "48" is my condemned prisoner number. In life...
Copy !req
77. or should I say, back when I had a living body,
Copy !req
78. I was known as Slicer, the mass murderer.
Copy !req
79. So you are a condemned prisoner.
Copy !req
80. Tell me, they use
condemned prisoners in this place
Copy !req
81. as ingredients to make
Philosopher's Stones, right?
Copy !req
82. That is difficult for me to answer.
Copy !req
83. They just recognized my
skills, gave me this body,
Copy !req
84. and made me the watchdog of this place.
Copy !req
85. Which means, you have a seal that serves
Copy !req
86. as the medium between soul and armor.
Copy !req
87. Yes, that is correct.
Copy !req
88. This bloodseal. If you destroy this, you win.
Copy !req
89. It's very kind of you to show me your weak spot.
Copy !req
90. I'm the type that seeks out a
little tension during a fight, you see.
Copy !req
91. As long as you're being kind,
you think you might let me go?
Copy !req
92. I figure I might as well ask.
Copy !req
93. There's no way a mass murderer would do nothing
Copy !req
94. and let his prey escape,
when it's right in front of him.
Copy !req
95. Now, here I come!
Copy !req
96. Like I said,
Copy !req
97. Elicia is going to turn three!
Copy !req
98. Lt. Colonel Hughes, I'm at work right now.
Copy !req
99. Isn't that a coincidence? I'm at work, too.
Copy !req
100. Oh, she's just the cutest thing, too!
Copy !req
101. All right, just stop calling me
to brag about your daughter!
Copy !req
102. And on a military line, too!
Copy !req
103. It's not just my daughter!
Copy !req
104. I'm proud of my wife, too.
Copy !req
105. All right, all right, I'll listen to
you brag about your cute, cute...
Copy !req
106. Scar.
Copy !req
107. We've found multiple unidentified bodies,
Copy !req
108. but all of them are so decomposed,
it's difficult to identify them.
Copy !req
109. There haven't been any
sightings of him in the eastern area,
Copy !req
110. so at present, many here
regard him as being dead.
Copy !req
111. From the sound of it,
Copy !req
112. I'll be able to lift the escort from
the Elric brothers before long.
Copy !req
113. Is Major Armstrong still
serving as their escort?
Copy !req
114. No, the major's men have apparently taken over.
Copy !req
115. We've been had!
Copy !req
116. I thought it was awfully quiet in here!
Copy !req
117. Ah, we're gonna be chewed out by
Major Armstrong for dereliction of duty!
Copy !req
118. Those little brats! Put yourselves
in your escorts' shoes, will you?!
Copy !req
119. Let's go!
Copy !req
120. Huh? Where?
Copy !req
121. Isn't it obvious?!
Copy !req
122. To the 5th Laboratory!
Copy !req
123. What is this? My shoulder feels out of sorts.
Copy !req
124. This automail is less prone to rusting,
Copy !req
125. but the tradeoff is that
its strength isn't as great,
Copy !req
126. so don't try anything too crazy.
Copy !req
127. I have to settle this quickly...
Copy !req
128. ...or I'm in trouble!
Copy !req
129. You're just like a monkey, huh?
Copy !req
130. Hey, what was that?!
Copy !req
131. I'm so glad! It's been so long
since I've had any worthy prey!
Copy !req
132. But given your wound and your exhaustion,
Copy !req
133. the end of the battle is within sight.
Copy !req
134. Right about now, my
companion is finishing off your partner.
Copy !req
135. Is this companion of yours strong?
Copy !req
136. Yes, he's strong.
Copy !req
137. He's still weaker than I am, though.
Copy !req
138. In that case, I've got nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
139. I've been fighting him for a long time now,
Copy !req
140. and I've never beaten him!
Copy !req
141. Damn... sit still for a moment and
let me cut you up, you big behemoth!
Copy !req
142. Your body...
Copy !req
143. There's a bit of a story behind this.
Copy !req
144. I know, let me tell you a story.
You've probably already heard it.
Copy !req
145. It's a story about an old codger named Barry.
Copy !req
146. Once upon a time, here in Central,
Copy !req
147. there was an old codger named
Barry, who enjoyed cooking.
Copy !req
148. Barry loved to cut meat apart.
Copy !req
149. But one day, after he was no
longer content with just beef or pork,
Copy !req
150. Barry started going out
into town, night after night,
Copy !req
151. and began cutting people apart.
Copy !req
152. In time, Barry was caught, but by then,
Copy !req
153. 23 people had fallen prey to him.
Copy !req
154. This man, who had plunged
the populace of Central
Copy !req
155. into the very depths of terror,
was naturally sent to the gallows.
Copy !req
156. And all was well that ended well.
Copy !req
157. At least, that's the story
circulating out in the world.
Copy !req
158. However, there's another part to it.
Copy !req
159. Barry isn't actually dead.
Copy !req
160. He is alive, and charged
with guarding a certain place.
Copy !req
161. However, his body has been taken from him.
Copy !req
162. Yes! He is the very person you see before you!
Copy !req
163. That infamous mass murderer!
Barry the Chopper! I'm him!
Copy !req
164. Sorry, never heard of you.
Copy !req
165. I'm from a rural town in the east, so...
Copy !req
166. Even if you don't know about me,
Copy !req
167. when you see this body,
there should be some sort of reaction, right?
Copy !req
168. Something more like, "Yaah!" or
Copy !req
169. "What happened to your body?!" or something.
Copy !req
170. Yaah! W-What's happened to your body?!
Copy !req
171. Ooh, that hurts.
Copy !req
172. Ah, I get it. You were executed, too.
You had me startled there.
Copy !req
173. I'm not a criminal!
Copy !req
174. Huh? Then, how come?
Copy !req
175. It's kind of a long story.
Copy !req
176. When I lost my body, my
brother transmuted my soul for me.
Copy !req
177. Your brother?
Copy !req
178. I see, your brother, huh?
Copy !req
179. What's so funny?
Copy !req
180. Are you sure this brother
and you are really siblings?
Copy !req
181. Well, our personalities are different, but...
Copy !req
182. No, no, no, that's not what I mean.
Copy !req
183. Are you sure you're not a suit-of-armor puppet,
Copy !req
184. created by your so-called brother?
Copy !req
185. Were you ever really a person, originally?
Copy !req
186. Of course I was!
Copy !req
187. I am, without a doubt, the
person named Alphonse Elric!
Copy !req
188. How can you believe that?
Copy !req
189. Well, because of the memories
I have, ever since I was born.
Copy !req
190. What if those are also made-up?
Copy !req
191. But Winry... and Grandma know me.
Copy !req
192. Well, they're, you know, in on it.
Copy !req
193. Yeah, that's right.
You were never alive to begin with.
Copy !req
194. Th-Then, what about you?
Copy !req
195. That's simple.
Copy !req
196. Don't move! This area is off-limi...
Copy !req
197. There, you see? I love to chop up live people.
Copy !req
198. I enjoy killing so much, I can't stand it.
Copy !req
199. I kill; therefore, I am!
Copy !req
200. That proves I am who I am,
and that's good enough for me!
Copy !req
201. Oh, your brother is that good, is he?
Copy !req
202. Then I'll have to hurry up and defeat you.
Copy !req
203. Al! Now!
Copy !req
204. What?!
Copy !req
205. That was dirty.
Copy !req
206. There's no such thing as dirty in a fight!
Copy !req
207. What's the matter?
You still haven't destroyed my bloodseal.
Copy !req
208. Hurry up and destroy it...
Copy !req
209. There's something I need to ask you about.
Copy !req
210. The Philosopher's Stone?
Copy !req
211. Why don't you tell me
everything you know about it?
Copy !req
212. I can't.
Copy !req
213. Hey, now, beaten dogs don't get to show me up.
Copy !req
214. I haven't been beaten yet.
Copy !req
215. Impossible!
Copy !req
216. I forgot to mention,
this mass murderer Slicer...
Copy !req
217. ...was actually a pair of brothers.
Copy !req
218. An independent head and body?
That reeks of foul play!
Copy !req
219. Who was it who said that
there's no such thing as dirty in a fight?
Copy !req
220. Now, let's begin the second round, short stuff.
Copy !req
221. Don't call me short!
Copy !req
222. Whoa! I'm not giving you any time to transmute!
Copy !req
223. Damn, I'm losing too much blood.
I'm starting to feel dizzy.
Copy !req
224. This is bad...
Copy !req
225. This is bad...
Copy !req
226. Gonna die... gonna die... gonna die...!
Copy !req
227. Now to finish you!
Copy !req
228. You reminded me of someone I can't stand.
Copy !req
229. Now I've gone and done the
same thing he did, haven't I?
Copy !req
230. Now you've done it, you little brat!
Copy !req
231. Ugh, that's just gross!
Copy !req
232. My brother...
Copy !req
233. I hate to say it, but we've lost.
Copy !req
234. You're not going to tell me you're
actually three brothers, are you?
Copy !req
235. No, no.
Copy !req
236. Kid, hurry up and destroy us.
Copy !req
237. Don't ask me to become a murderer.
Copy !req
238. With bodies like these, are we even people?
Copy !req
239. If I don't consider you to be people,
Copy !req
240. then that would mean I don't
consider my brother to be a person.
Copy !req
241. Come on, come on, what's
the matter, armor puppet?
Copy !req
242. I am not an armor puppet!
Copy !req
243. You just think you're not!
Copy !req
244. Was there ever a real you?
Were you ever really alive?!
Copy !req
245. There is a way for you to prove
that you're not an armor puppet.
Copy !req
246. You've got a bloodseal too, right?
Copy !req
247. Go ahead and break it yourself.
Copy !req
248. If you die, then you were real!
Copy !req
249. If you're still up and moving
around, you're an armor puppet!
Copy !req
250. Th-There's no way I
could do something like that!
Copy !req
251. Then I'll do it for you!
Copy !req
252. My brother is human. You guys are also human.
Copy !req
253. That's why I don't want to kill you.
Copy !req
254. Brother?
Copy !req
255. We two, as brothers, have been stealing,
Copy !req
256. destroying, and killing for
as long as we can remember.
Copy !req
257. And now, to be treated as
humans for the first time,
Copy !req
258. after taking the forms we have...
Copy !req
259. it's hilarious!
Copy !req
260. Kid, as a parting gift,
I will tell you everything.
Copy !req
261. The ones who made the Philosopher's Stone,
Copy !req
262. and ordered us to protect this place...
Copy !req
263. That was a close one.
Copy !req
264. No, 48, we can't have you speaking out of turn.
Copy !req
265. Oh, my. What is the
Fullmetal pipsqueak doing here?
Copy !req
266. Such a trying boy.
How did you find out about this place?
Copy !req
267. Brother! Brother!
Copy !req
268. Brother!
Copy !req
269. Pipe down, you halfwit!
Copy !req
270. You were just about to kill
one of our precious sacrifices.
Copy !req
271. Do you understand?
Copy !req
272. How were you going to account
for this if it messed up the plan?
Copy !req
273. Huh?!
Copy !req
274. Who are you people?! What plan?!
What do you mean, sacrifice?!
Copy !req
275. Oh, my, the pipsqueak is raring to go.
Copy !req
276. You shut up with that pipsqueak talk!
Copy !req
277. A pipsqueak is a pipsqueak, right, pipsqueak?
Copy !req
278. Whoa! I don't like fighting.
Copy !req
279. It's painful when you get hurt, you know.
Copy !req
280. You're the one who
picked this fight, and I accept...
Copy !req
281. Looks like you have a malfunction.
Copy !req
282. Wha...?!
Copy !req
283. Lucky me!
Copy !req
284. You're fortunate your arm broke.
Copy !req
285. You're getting off without being hurt too badly.
Copy !req
286. Listen to me, boy. Don't forget
that you're being allowed to live.
Copy !req
287. We can't have this boy showing up again.
Copy !req
288. Let's burn this place down.
Copy !req
289. There's something I've been
meaning to say to you for a while,
Copy !req
290. but I've been too afraid to mention it.
Copy !req
291. What was Brother about to say to me?
Copy !req
292. What was he so afraid to tell me?
Copy !req
293. What was he so afraid to say?
Copy !req
294. Are you sure you're not a suit-of-armor puppet,
Copy !req
295. created by your so-called brother?
Copy !req
296. Were you ever really a person, originally?
Copy !req
297. What's the matter, my little armor puppet?
Copy !req
298. Shut up! I'm not...
Copy !req
299. Go ahead and admit it. You'll feel better.
Copy !req
300. You've left yourself
wide open, you big behemoth!
Copy !req
301. Huh?
Copy !req
302. Don't move!
Copy !req
303. Surrender yourself, nice and easy!
Copy !req
304. This is starting to get more complicated.
Copy !req
305. Sergeant, take cover!
Copy !req
306. What are you doing?! Get out of there!
Copy !req
307. But Brother is still inside!
Copy !req
308. What!?
Copy !req
309. Hmm, you know what this means.
Copy !req
310. Time to hightail it outta here!
Copy !req
311. Hey, you!
Copy !req
312. You'd better hurry away from here, too!
Copy !req
313. Hold it!
Copy !req
314. Brother! Brother!
Copy !req
315. Take cover! You'll end up
getting caught in it, too!
Copy !req
316. But!
Copy !req
317. Hey there, I brought you some baggage.
Copy !req
318. Brother?!
Copy !req
319. His life isn't in any danger,
but he's lost a lot of blood,
Copy !req
320. so you should hurry and get him to a hospital.
Copy !req
321. Also, you should keep a closer watch on him,
Copy !req
322. to make sure they don't do anything too crazy.
Copy !req
323. He is a precious resource, after all.
Copy !req
324. Who are you?
Copy !req
325. Lieutenant Ross! Quickly!
Copy !req
326. Sergeant, give me a hand!
Copy !req
327. He's covered in blood, isn't he?!
Copy !req
328. Talk later! Hurry and get out of...
Copy !req
329. Huh? He's gone.
Copy !req
330. - Let us out!
- It's an earthquake!
Copy !req
331. - Are you trying to kill us?!
- Hey, shut up! Take it easy!
Copy !req
332. What a nice sound.
Copy !req
333. That's the sound of a building
crumbling, using explosives.
Copy !req
334. As close as it is, I'd say it's the
5th Laboratory, right next door.
Copy !req
335. Ah, what a nice sound. A truly great sound,
Copy !req
336. that reverberates down to the core of my body.
Copy !req
337. No talking to yourself, Kimblee!
Copy !req
338. Oh, excuse me.
Copy !req
339. I was just recalling the
Ishvalan War of Extermination,
Copy !req
340. and I couldn't help but feel happy.
Copy !req
341. Are you sure you're not a suit-of-armor puppet,
Copy !req
342. created by your so-called brother?

Copy !req
357. So, in Central, the senior staff
in control of State Alchemists
Copy !req
358. are shorthanded, thanks to Scar.
Copy !req
359. Oh?
Copy !req
360. Rumor has it that Colonel Mustang's
promotion to Central is not far off.
Copy !req
361. Central, huh? Not bad.
Copy !req
362. Watch yourself.
Copy !req
363. When you encroach on
senior staff as young as you are,
Copy !req
364. you're going to make more enemies.
Copy !req
365. I've been prepared for that from the start.
