BarryHoley moley... that was way too damn close. I hope someone can fix me... I'd rather not live my life as sheet metal. [Barry's human body appears, hobbling over to the piece of metal.] Ah! What the...?! How the hell are you still alive?! [Barry's body picks up the metal plate, eyeing the blood rune.] Hey... Oh, no! Put me down right now! I-! I've got a second chance to terrorize the city! You're gonna ruin everything! [Barry's body starts stroking the rune.] No! Don't do it, wait! No, stop, please-! [Barry's human body accidentally scratches away the Blood Rune, killing both at the same time. The body falls lifeless.]
N6Number 66
I am the infamous serial killer, Barry the Chopper! HA!
... Sorry, I've never heard of you. [Barry is crushed by the fact he is not recognized.] I'm from a little town in the east, so...
Barry
Fine! But even if you don't know who I am, shouldn't you at least be a little scared?! Shouldn't you be going, "Ahhh!" or "What happened to your body?!" Or something!
[Alphonse removes his helmet, revealing that he doesn't have a body]
Barry
AHHH! What happened to YOUR body, freak?!
Hey... now that's impolite.
Black Hayate? What’s gotten into you, boy?
Barry
Hahaha, it’s dangerous to be out walking the streets, alone, at this hour. You never know when you might meet, the terrible serial killer, feared by all, Barry the Chopper! Ahh! No fair, why’d you have to pull a gun for-? Ah! Alright, that’s it, lady! Now I’m going to hear you scream!
Barry
Ahhh! Hey, how come you’re not paralyzed with fear?
You actually remind me of someone else I know.
Barry
Let me guess, Alphonse, something or other?
Uh! You’ve met Alphonse before?
Barry
Hahahaha, so the guy’s a friend of yours is he? I’m going to tell you something sweetheart, you are one strong woman!
FFallman
I can’t believe the Fifth Laboratory was being used to make something like that.
It gets worse; there’s a chance that Military Senior Staff was involved as well.
Plus there were those other two, Lust and Envy. Are they the ones who made you into what you are now?
Barry
Nah, it was the researchers that did that. Ripped my soul right out of my body, and slapped it into this suit of armor you see, here.
FFallman
We can track down these so called researchers, if we find them, maybe they can tell us who ordered the experiments.
Barry
Fat chance of that. They were all used to create Philosopher’s Stones, there’s not a single one of them left alive.
Silenced and then used as ingredients, how efficiently planned.
Do you think this means they have what they need, or will they try to make additional Stones?
I have one more question for you. A little over a month ago, a military officer was killed in a telephone booth, in Central. Were you the one who did it?
Barry
Phone booth doesn’t sound familiar. Was he all chopped up?
[Havoc visits Falman who's keeping an eye on Barry.]
How's it goin'? You won a single game yet?
Barry
Not even close... But this game is boring anyway. Hey, since it's night now, I can go and cut someone up, right?!
Barry
Right now it's lookin' like you'll be facing the firing squad for sure.
It's not true! They're wrong! If they would just do a proper investigat-
Barry
Here are your choices... Stay here and be killed for murder... or bust outta this joint with me. Which will it be?
How is this happening? Isn't there anything else I can do?!
It sure doesn't look like it!
I have no choice! Mom! Dad! Please forgive me! [Regains her composure] Fine, let's go... If this is how it has to be, I'll escape with you. But you better know a way out of here, metal boy.
Barry
Ooh! You've got spunk!
Barry
I was wondering when you were gonna show up, Lusty.
Number 66... Care to explain why you're helping the Colonel?
Barry
I thought it'd be fun to switch things up... Besides... I've wanted to chop you up since I met you.
You're such a handful, 66... And I'm sad to see you here, armor boy... You just had to tag along. Talk about a setback... It's bad enough to lose one... But now you're forcing me to kill a second candidate.
[confused] Candidate? A second one?
Yeah... You and Mr. Gallantry.
Barry
That's enough of the casual chit chat, Lust! All I wanna hear from you is screaming!
I do hate over-confident men.
[Lust proceeds to cut up Barry's armor suit without so much as breaking a sweat.]
Now then... Where were we? I think I was about to send the Lieutenant to join her superior.
Wait a minute... So when you said you'd already had to kill someone... It can't be... You didn't...!
[Lust grins sadistically, as if confirming Riza's fears.]
[She shoots Lust repeatedly, but the bullets have no cumulative effect. Riza breaks down in defeated tears.]
Such a sad and weak creature... Another typical human.
Stand up, Lieutenant... You need to get out of here.
Do you want me to kill you first? Oh, my... It appears you've opened the portal. Such a shame... You are a perfect candidate.
Listen, Alphonse... Leave me and save yourself.
I won't leave you! I'm sick of watching people die! And I can't just sit back and take it anymore! I won't let anyone else get killed! Not when I can protect them!
Well spoken! I couldn’t agree more!
