Summary:
Enraged by Envy calling him “small”, Edward Elric repeatedly attacks the Homunculus. Envy ignores the Fullmetal Alchemist and tries to calm the raging Gluttony. He tells Gluttony not to eat the Elric brothers, but says that Gluttony is allowed to eat Ling Yao. Hearing this, Edward used alchemy to create a huge brick wall that separated them from the Homunculi, leaving Ling to attack Envy while he and Alphonse battle Gluttony.At first, Ling’s battle with envy seems to be going well. Envy leaves her defenses open, allowing the prince to slice her open in the stomach. Ling soon realizes it was a trap as Envy transforms his arms into a blade and snake that wraps around Ling. Ling drops his sword before the snake’s power around his body, but is able to kick the dirt into the Homunculus’ eyes. Blinding his foe, Ling quickly grabs Envy’s arm and uses it to slice open the snake arm wrapped around his body. Linked to his sword, Ling once again gains the upper hand against his enemy.On the other side of the wall, the Elric brothers continue to fight the Gluttons. Edward creates a deep well beneath the Homunculus’ feet, causing it to fall into the depths. However, he is able to escape gluttony by stretching his ribcage so far that he rises from the well. The two battles come together, with Envy still losing to the Xinges Martial Art Ling. Seeing that she can’t win against the prince using conventional combat, Envy transforms into Lan Fan, causing Ling to freeze. Gluttony sees this as an opportunity to swallow Ling, a realization that Edward also has. Edward runs to Ling in an attempt to save him, leading Envy to do the same, trying to protect the rare human sacrifice from being swallowed along with the alien. Gluttony swallows all three and, realizing the mistake he made, reverts to his original form, leaving a distraught Alphonse to cry for his brother.Back at Dr. Knox’s house, Lan Fan finally grimly realizes that her arm is gone. The scene switches to Central Command where Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye are trying to find out who their allies in the military are. While trying to figure out his next move, Colonel Mustang is approached by General Raven. The two begin to talk about Mustang’s move to Central and how he is dealing with it. Mustang tells Raven that he’s using a technique that worked well in the East to talk to the citizens about what’s going on in the city, as absurd as it may sound. He mentions several gossips, but one in particular catches the General’s attention: President Bradley is a Homunculus. Raven brings Mustang to meet some of the top men in the military, including the president himself.Meanwhile, Edward wakes up in an almost pitch black room, lying in a deep and seemingly endless pool of blood. After making sure he is alive and able to move, Edward remembers what happened before he fell unconscious; he, Ling, and Envy were consumed by Gluttony. But one question remains: where is he ?.
