DDolchetto
He’s here. There you are, about time.
We know your secret. Meet us at the Devil’s Nest if you want to talk… I’m guessing you’re the people who wrote this note?
DDolchetto
That’s right. And we know a lot about you.
Well that’s good, ‘cause there’s a lot about me that I don’t know.
DDolchetto
Then I’m the guy you want to talk to. Why don’t you come with us?
But my teacher always said, I’m not supposed to go with strangers.
DDolchetto
Uh, how old are you?
DDolchetto
Well come on then, I think fourteen is old enough to think for yourself, kid. You gotta act like an adult, start taking some risks.
You think so!? I should think for myself?
DDolchetto
Yes! And you can start by coming with-[Al punches him in the face.]
So I thought it over for myself, and I decided I’m just going to make you tell me what I want to know.
DDolchetto
So you wanna do this by force.
You people aren't human, are you?
Greedgood guess, they're Chimeras... And they happen to work for me.
Not that you'd know, but growing old isn't easy.
Greed
Huh?
This year marks my sixtieth birthday. It's frustrating how your body stops moving the way you want it to... So I'd like to finish this job quickly as possible and return home...
Greed
I've got an idea... Retire!
I understand why you'd think you have an advantage over a man like me since I possess neither your impenetrable Ultimate Shield, nor an Ultimate Spear that can pierce any substance... But I'll tell you a secret. Do you know how I managed to distinguish myself amongst the storms of bullets on the battlefield time after time... to rise to my current position?
Greed
Y-you're...
I may not have the protection of your Ultimate Shield, but I clearly see your weakness with my Ultimate Eye. Now then, Greed. How many times do I have to kill you before you stay dead?
It's been a century since I've seen that face. Rise and shine, Greed. You can't sleep all day.
Greed
Well, well. The gang's all here.
Looks like your Ultimate Shield let you down after all.
Greed
Maybe, but you never do, Lust the Lascivious... Feel free to pierce me with your Ultimate Spear anytime you want. Hello, Gluttony the Voracious. Still haven't found the right diet for you yet, huh? And little Envy the Jealous. Please! For the last time, get a new outfit! And where is Sloth the Indolent these days?
Greed. You are both my son and a piece of my soul... So why would you betray your loving father?
Greed
I mean, you know the answer to that better than anyone, Dad... I'm Greed the Avaricious... You were the one that made me this way, after all. I'm just being myself. I simply had larger ambitions than spending my life working for you.
And if I were to ask you to return and work for me again?
Greed
Never!
Greed
Why don'tcha come on in, kids, the water's fine! Nice and hot! Just like the flames in hell...! I'll send you a postcard, let you know what they're like...! And when the rest of you get there- I'll be waiting for you!
Now return from whence you were born... Return to my depths and rejoin my soul.. Return, Greed.
Greed
If that's what you want, Dad! Just don't blame me when I give you a stomach-ache! You did it to yourself!
I shall drink to the Promised Day, and to your undying loyalty.
Brother, is Winry there!?
Ed?! What, did you break your Automail again?
NO! I'm calling. Uh, er, well... to see whether you got there safely or not. Like you haven't seen any strange people or anything, right?
...Ed, You're creeping me out.
WHAT'S THAT'S SUPPOSE TO MEAN!?
Well, you hardly ever call me, so this is rather odd! As if someone as tactless as yourself could actually worry about others! This weird, like a snow storm in the summer.
Thanks, though. I'm happy... that you called.
[He hangs up]
Greed
You know, it's must really like her to let your desperate fears to be used like that!
Greed
No, I already told you, Greed.
Greed
You pal wanted me to give you this.
Greed
Yeah. Can't read it. He said to give it to a girl.
How do I know you won't follow us and murder her?
Greed
It's not my thing to fight women. Plus, I never lie. But hey, it's your call.
[Greed walks off]
Greed
It's still Greed, kid.
I met him once. He said a king exists for his people. As if the people matter. The fool, just where did that get him? Typical human.
Shut the hell up! [suddenly regaining control and glaring at Bradley] Don't underestimate humans.
[Bradley is frozen and wide-eyed]
Greed
... I know, he is smart as he vigilantly waits for an opportunity to take control of this body!
He must have been taking second thoughts. Now that he has taken a monster into his flesh.
What have you done, Greed? Are you determined to prove you're a monster? What kind of sick creature... would kill his own friend?!
Greed
He wasn't my... friend...! [clutches his head and screams]
Then why do you remember him? And are you gonna try and tell me Bido was just making everything up?!
Greed
Those are the last Greed's memories! They're not mine!
THEN WHY ARE YOU IN SO MUCH PAIN?! Pull yourself together, Greed. I'm warning you. I'll take my body back if you drop your guard.
Greed
They're not mine...! Father purified me and purged the old Greed's memories! Those memories aren't a part of me anymore!
NO, YOU'RE WRONG, GREED! It's not that easy! They'll always be a part of you! You can't just erase them from your soul! They were the only part of you that you CHOSE! Look at them! Can you not hear their souls crying out?! You abandoned them! Your real family! You threw them away like TRASH! Fool...If you turned your back on something you wanted, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO CALL YOURSELF GREED!
Greed
[clutches Bido's body, screams in anguish]
Greed
[laughs] Oh man, she's a peach. Sounds like she wants everything. My kind of girl.
That kind of wanting is dangerous, it's not how reality works. Take a look. [Edward lifts his automail arm]
This is what I got for wanting something unrealistic.
Greed
I disagree. You want to bring back someone that you've lost, you might want money, maybe you want women, or... you might want to protect the world. These are all common things that people want, things that their hearts desire. Greed may not be good, but it's not so bad either.
[Edward moves to walk away down the stairs, but Greed continues]
Greed
You humans think that greed is just for money and power, but everybody wants something they don't have.
[Edward stops on the stairs for a moment to think, but then continues to walk away]
Greed
I guess in the dark, we don't have the upper hand against Gluttony. But once the lights are back on, there's Pride. Hm. this is going to be tough.
Greed
What is it Ling?
Switch with me. I'm able to sense a Homunculus' presence. I'm the one who realized Pride was out there, right? I can maneuver around better in the darkness!
Greed
What choice do I have?! Don't go running off with this body!
Don't be ridiculous! It was my body to begin with!
Greed
Oh, nice one! I'm glad I paired with you!
I'm mad! I'm hungry! But you won't let me eat you right away! So I'm gonna swallow everything!
It's the same presence as that time before.
Hey, what is it you guys are looking at?! Explain it to me, the normal guy!
[Something fast is attacking Gluttony]
Is there someone else out there?!
I don't know. I don't know, but that's.
That smell....I Know It....
[Lan Fan attacks Gluttony with her new automail arm]
Thank goodness you're all right! I've been waiting for you, Lan Fan!
[Lan Fan fights Gluttony]
Will you stop killing me? I don't want to die anymore.
[Lan Fan slices Gluttony's face]
[Ling Yao punches Gluttony]
[Lan Fan slices Gluttony's mouth]
Greed
[laughs] You're really kicking ass! And nice girl, how long have you been a stud?
Well you know me. I'm filled with surprises!
[Ling Yao kicks Gluttony]
It's so dark here. How do you know where I am?
[Lan Fan chops off Gluttony's hand]
Long time no see. You should have just fled and kept quiet.
Greed
Unfortunately, my avarice knows no bounds. I want your life, too, Wrath.
Greed
World all over town is that you died in a train accident. How did you survive it?
My eyes are too sharp for that. I was able to evaluate in an instant where among the rubble to run to get out of here. However, the years take their toll. My body won't keep up like it used to.
Greed
[Thinking to himself] This man just survived a train wreck, and yet he's complaining about age?
Yeah! Haven't seen you since I hide out in that run down apartment, huh? Been a long time, Warrant Officer Falman.
I owe you for the stay and the meal, so I'll give you a hand.
Greed
Although, the truth is, we both have a personal grudge against him!
[Ling and Wrath are fighting]
Moving into my blind spot, huh?
Greed
My partner inside me taught me how to fight you.
Did he? Then I will do this..
[They continue to fight as Wrath takes off his eyepatch revealing the Ultimate Eye]
[Ling and Fu continues fight against Wrath]
GGreeling
Ow! Watch it, old man!
FFu
I didn't do it on purp-I mean, I didn't mean it!
I do feel more comfortable with a weapon like this. You move well, for someone even older than I am. However...this is the end for you!
[He slices Fu's headband off, and Fu jumps back, when the blood pumps out and covers his face]
[Ling Takes Over] Old man Fu!
Greed
Ling! Don't take over without my permission!
It's just like the time with that girl who lost her arm. Once again, you risk your life for something you are unable to leave behind.
FFu
Young Lord, forget me. My life isn't worth fighting for.
Don't give me that crap! Are you honestly telling me that I should be like him?! A king should fight for his people because he is nothing without them! This man is about to sacrifice his own nation! His people! I'll never become the monster that he is!
FFu
If you truly are a man worthy to be king, you must be able to accept some loss- [He coughs up blood]
You need to rest, please!
FFu
Hehehe, You're right, Young Lord, I need rest. Time for this old man to find rest. [He knocks Ling down with the back of his weapon and charges Wrath in for a suicide bombing attempt] Harden your shield, Greed! Protect the Young Lord's body! Young Lord, become the king you're meant to be. But this old servant has no choice but to offer his retirement!
Greed
[He hardens his Shield] You stupid fool!
FFu
I'm taking you to hell with me! BRADLEY!
[Wrath slices through the explosives and fatally wounds Fu]
FFu
[In his thoughts] Even with my life on the line, I cannot even lay a scratch on him? Young Lord...forgive my shame....
Even if you do have godlike eyes, there's no way you can dodge an attack you can't see coming! Old man, I'll accompany you down to hell.
FFu
Oh...you have my gratitude....
[Wrath kicks Buccaneer and Fu out as Ling uses Greed's shield hardening to attack Wrath's Ultimate Eye and destroys it for good, leaving him a mortal man]
[Looking down on the battle] GRANDFATHER!
Listen up, you guys! Anyone who doesn't want to get hurt, anyone with a family, or a lover, keep back!
Greed
Also, women! I'm not the sort who fights women!
[Military tries to attack Greed but his armor is too thick]
[Greed fights military forces, then as a rocket comes he uses it to destroy the tank as the truck attacks him. Greed destroys the truck as he attacks the military]
VVato
Amazing. Is that Ling Yao? Or is it the Homunculus?
[Ed sees that his right arm has returned, a sign that Al gave up his soul so he can keep fighting.]
[Edward starts fighting Father, and winning.]
Nice, Ed. Just keep going.
BBriggs
Yeah! Let him have it! Fullmetal!
Greed, this is what you desperately wanted, isn't it?
Greed
Yeah, you're right. This is what I wanted. I wanted the chance to have friends like these.
[Edward knocks Father to the ground with a punch to the face]
GET UP, YOU NOVICE! I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU HOW OUT-CLASSED YOU REALLY ARE! THIS FIGHT, YOU LOSE!
