Bastard! [Ed attempts to transmute the ground below him, but Father turns everyone's alchemy off]
Your alchemy will do you no good. Farewell, gentlemen. [The Homunculus creates a sun in the palm of his right hand]
What are you— What's that?
The power of God is now in my control. With that, I can do anything; for instance, I can create a sun right in the palm of my hand.
[Ed watches in horrified awe at the sun, as the others glare at Father]
Shall I let its flames loose in here? What do you think? [Suddenly, a beat of energy appears from within Father. The Homunculus stops, while the surprised Pride turns to look at Hohenheim as the latter begins to speak]
Your plan for biding God to this world was a flawed one. We plotted against you since the moment you set it in motion. [Another beat appears, as Father glowers at Hohenheim] Over the many long years, I have performed calculation after calculation. I have arranged my own Philosopher's Stones: the friends who long resided within me, in preparations to this very day!
[A third beat]
The time has come.
He is guilty of committing the ultimate transgression.
We no longer have bodies to return to. But the people of Amestris still have the chance to resume their physical forms.
Yes. We know what we must do. Let us return their souls back to their bodies.
It is what Hohenheim asked of us.
[A much stronger beat appears, leaving Father in shock. He resumes his glare at Hohenheim]
So you've planted your Philosopher's Stones, what of it? They are merely points. They will not activate without a circle! That's a basic rule of alchemy!
We do have a circle. It's one of enormous power, and it can be self-activated, even if something should happen to incapacitate me! The moon's shadow, cast on the world by the eclipse!
[The Xerxesian souls begin to activate their Transmutation Circle]
We're starting now, Hohenheim!
[Red lightning strikes down on the circle's five points. Meanwhile, Father's body begins to gain veins]
Even now you still think you can stop me. YOU'RE A FOOL, HOHENHEIM!
That's the very reason I came back. IT'S TIME YOU REMEMBERED YOUR PLACE, DWARF IN THE FLASK!
[The Umbral Circle activates, quickly draining Father's body and forcing him to dismiss the sun in his hand. The others look on as more veins appear in Father's body before the Homunculus shouts in agony as the souls of the Amestrians are forcibly extracted from him, returning to their respective bodies]
