RoyYou told me I couldn't kill you... but I'd like to try and prove you wrong. So let's see... How many times is it gonna take?!
[Roy torches Lust repeatedly. Furious, Lust makes a final charge at him, but he blasts her with flame one last time. After a pause, she begins to disintegrate.]
[...] You killed me... I hate losing... but there are worse ways to die than at the hands of a man like you. I love how cold and focused your eyes are. I look forward... to the day when those eyes will be wide with agony... [She disappears completely.] It's coming... It's coming...
You're an idiot! It's bad enough you believed her, but then you gave up?!
Please, forgive me, Colonel.
You've gotta stay strong. Don't you EVER give up on living. I need to know you can keep your cool no matter what happens.
I'm gonna continue to rely on you to watch my back. Don't let me down.
You oughta think about taking your own advice, Colonel. Since you were the one who abandoned his post.
Roy
Hey! SHUT UP, HAVOC! [his injury plays up as a result of him yelling] AGH! Ugghh… And what the hell, why are we even in the same room? At my rank I should have my own room, with a hot nurse.
Try to understand sir; it was easier to protect you both in the same room.
Roy
Which reminds me: Why haven’t they tried to kill us yet?
[Cut to the Homunculi]
What’s wrong with you? How could you let that bastard go after what he did? You should have yanked his spine out of his mouth!
It’s not too late to kill him! So get to it!
We can use Mustang, he’s useless if we kill him however.
Use him? Hold on, you mean the portal?
You don’t need to worry about it. And forget Mustang. Father wants me to handle it.
Just let me get on with my life. I beg you.
Roy
Alright. You're cut loose. I'll leave you behind so you can catch up. I've gotta keep moving... but I'll see you at the top.
He doesn't give up... He didn't even think about turning his back on me... And I had given up on living. It's not in him to abandon others... He refuses to.
He's a fool. He's not gonna make it to the top... This country'll chew him up if keeps on acting this soft.
Well, I don't know about that... This country needs a fool like that man.
Roy
So, what’s with the showboat? Do you want him to find you?
Yeah, that’s exactly what I want. I'm going to fight him, and you can't stop me.
Roy
Have you lost your mind?! Did you forget the way he tore you apart in East City?
Ooh! Sounds like the Colonel’s scared of big, bad Scar! I’m not surprised considering how useless you were against him!
Roy
That wasn't my fault! It was raining that day!
Was it raining when you got beat up and sent to the hospital?! Ha! You’re still useless!
Roy
Shut your mouth, Fullme-!
[Roy shoots fire at Gluttony who swallows it]
[Gluttony attacks the trio as they run away]
Roy
THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER!?! BE MY GUEST!
OR WE CAN JUST LEAVE YOU BEHIND COLONEL, YOU'RE THE ONE HE REALLY WANTS!
Roy
Well, these are either the gates to glory, or the entrance way to Hell. Wait here, Lieutenant... If anything happens to me, then at least you'll have a chance of getting out alive.
Roy
That was an order.
Roy
You're a stubborn one.
That's something you've always known, sir.
Roy
All right... Will you stay here if I promise to come back?
Yes... Happy hunting, sir.
Roy
Tell me, why are you bothering to let me live?
Because you aren't going to learn your lesson if you're dead, soldier.
Roy
And the military...? How long has all this been going on?
The Homunculi have been controlling this entire nation since its inception.
Roy
So all this time you've been sitting back and laughing at our struggles. I saw you at General Hughes' funeral. Your hands were trembling. So did you fake that as well?
Why must everyone make such a fuss over the death of a single soldier...? The moment a soldier dons his uniform, he accepts the reality that he might be buried in it. And about my hands... Hughes' child screeched throughout the entirety of his funeral. My hands were trembling with anger.
Roy
How can you say such a thing? You have a child, too.
Are you referring to Selim? He's more well-behaved than that.
Roy
And how do you think he'd react if he found out that his father is a Homunculus?
Was that a threat? You'll have to do better. Selim will never work as a point of weakness in my life. But you, on the other hand... I know exactly who to use as your weak point.
Bradley [Voice over]: I have no memory of my parents' faces or their names...In fact, I don't even remember my own name. For all I know, I might have been abandoned or sold before I even had one. And they trained us to be leaders. They kept us confined together...and they taught us at all times of the day and night. We studied political science, and humanities...As well as martial arts... firearms...and of course, swordsmanship. I was certain that I would be the one chosen to lead this country. I firmly believed it and I endured any training to make it so.
[Flashback]
SScientist
Go ahead and lie down.
SScientist
Just try not to think about it. This won't take long.
What are you gonna do to me...?.! Are they dead?!
You are the twelfth candidate. Do you have what it takes to become my fury? My Wrath?
Bradley [Voice over]: A Philosopher's Stone is created from the life force of countless human beings and contains their souls. Once injected into the bloodstream, it begins to take over its new host and the human body tries to reject it. My body was repeatedly destroyed from the inside out and then rebuilt by the stone. The only options I had were to die or to overcome its power. I chose the latter.
[Later]
SScientist
It's amazing! We've made a new type of human! Congratulations. You have been chosen to lead mankind down the path of destiny...Everything has been arranged to provide you with all that you'll need. From now on, your name will be...King Bradley.
Roy
You've lived your life before as a human being...Why choose to be a Homunculus, sir...? Isn't there some way you could go back to being a human...?
You suggest I become human again...? Ridiculous...Why would I possibly want to pursue such frivolity? I've become something far superior. Just as you humans take great pride in your "humanity", misguided though that may be... I too am proud...Because we also take pride in what we are. The woman you killed. She died with her pride intact, didn't she?
Roy
Ah, you don't say.
S2Soldier 2
They've all but stopped fighting back with their guns. Could they be just about out of ammunition?
S4Soldier 4
All right, we're moving in on them! Round up everyone we have left!
[Truck runs through as military soldiers dodge]
RRebecca
Sorry, sorry! I've got some nice presents for those of you who've been waiting!
MMilitary9
Mustang is fleeing in an ice cream truck! Seal off the main roads! It's disguised as a civilian truck, but it's loaded with weapons and ammunition! Look sharp! [Buccaneer appear to take these military down] A bear! A bear with a Mohawk!
MMaria
A bear with a Mohawk?
That's Captain Buccaneer, from the Northern forces. Colonel, it looks like it's going to be hard to get into town.
Roy
You're right. An ice cream truck, huh?
Roy
Hmm. There really is nothing quite like watching fools dig their own graves. Especially, when that fool is an arrogant Homunculus who’s too stupid to see what he’s doing. I’ve humored you long enough. So how about you answer a question of mine? … I want you to tell me who killed Maes Hughes. [Edward gasps and turns to Mustang.] And I want the truth, Homunculus.
[Envy quietly stares back before replying.]
Maria Ross did. Isn’t that why you burned her to death?
Roy
Shut up. I know that she didn’t kill him.
Envy [suddenly delighted]: Huh?! You mean to tell me that you scorched an innocent girl to a pile of ashes!? Nicely done, you monster! Wow, it must’ve been fun telling her family. Did you cry when you told them? Or did you sit back quietly, and endure their outrage?
Roy
Quit running your mouth, you idiot! [Envy's smile disappears.] I’m sick of you Homunculi giving me the runaround when I ask you this question. Tell me the truth or I’ll burn it out of you! You worthless scum! [Envy frowns agitatedly.] Tell me who’s responsible for his murder.
[A small pause ensues. Envy grins, then he begins to chuckle quietly, before bursting out in sadistic laughter.]
Congratulations, Colonel Mustang. You’ve finally hunted down your culprit.
[Roy tenses up in surprise. Riza draws her gun and points it at Envy. Envy, meanwhile, buries his face in his hand, giggling.]
Roy [suddenly unimpressed]: You’re saying you killed Hughes? I doubt a moron like you could pull that off.
Ha! Moron?! [Envy begins to transform.] Tell me who the real moron is here! Because I don’t think it’s me! I prefer to use that term for someone who falls for a cheap trick like this!
[Envy finishes his transformation, having turned into Gracia Hughes. Roy's eyes widen in horrified shock.]
Ha ha! You should see your face! Oh, you’re not going to believe this, but that was the same look on Hughes's face when I shot him! The utter shock! The dumb confusion! You could see every emotion he felt as his own wife shot him...! AHHH...! IT... WAS... GREAT!
Roy
... That’s enough! You were STUPID enough to confess, and even MORE stupid to BOAST! Everything you've said is fuel on your funeral pyre! So then, I think I’ll begin... [Roy's face is contorted with rage.] ... BY BURNING OUT YOUR TONGUE!
Roy
Stand down. All of you. I'm dealing with him on my own. This fight is mine, and mine alone!
Well, you heard 'im! Let's keep moving and find this "Father" guy! ...huh?!
[Envy has extended his hand into his unleashed form's, blocking Jerso's path.]
I don't remember giving you permission to leave. I still owe you some pain and misery for what you- AGH!
[Roy blasts Envy directly in the mouth with a fireball, causing Envy to fall on his behind.]
Roy
Keep your eyes on me, Envy. Our conversation is the only one that should concern you! [Envy transforms back into his normal form, his tongue having been reduced to a fleshy sludge.] It’s kind of interesting how quickly the tongue can be rendered to a bubbling grease. It’s surprising how easy it burns, isn't it?
Lieutenant... you really think the two of you-?
Edward. Just go. We can handle this one.
Roy
The Lieutenant said "go," Elric! You've got more important matters to deal with.
So... you've been rather dogged in your pursuit of Hughes' killer. You're a true friend... TO THE VERY END!
[Envy begins to transform into his Unleashed form.]
Roy
Keep your distance, lieutenant.
[Envy finishes transforming, looking down on Roy and Riza with a sneer.]
UEUnleashed Envy
Out of respect for your tireless quest for vengeance, I'll give you the fight you're looking for. I'm not exactly capable of treading lightly in this body... so you'd better give me all you've-! RAH!
[Roy makes Envy's eyes to burst in flames.]
Roy
What’s it like having the fluids inside of your eyes boil? I’d imagine it might sting a little.
[Roy unleashes another torrent of flame. Envy writhes in pain.]
Roy
I can't believe you've given me a bigger target. Did you think size would increase your chance of winning?! You idiot! Stand up, monster! Go ahead and regenerate yourself! You'll suffer a thousand deaths before I'm done.
Envy [thinking]: That's right... how could I forget? He's the one who incinerated Lust to death!
[Unleashed Envy smashes the wall, sending several pieces of rubble at Roy, who flinches. The frightened Homunculus reverts to his normal form and runs for his life.]
Roy
YOU COWARD! [bolts after Envy.]
Roy
YOU WAIT HERE, LIEUTENANT! I'm going to take care of him, myself!
