The Crimson Alchemist Solf J Kimblee, and the Sewing-Life Alchemist Shou Tucker. A pair of infamous ghosts.
KKimblee
I've held my end of the bargain. How about you?
You don't have to worry, neither do you doctor. I'll guarantee safety for you both. See, you are under the protection of Frank Archer now.
That's right. I'm reinstating you into the military to continue research. but this time, you will be working directly under me.
You'll let me finish my work?
Yes. I'll be changing my orders. Tell the troops not to take prisoners. Kill anyone who looks suspicious. I want this place cleaned.
SSoldier
But sir, there are civilians. You sure that is okay?
(to soldier) It is now. (to self) Now that Tucker is on our side, those creatures can be replaced, and not even Greed can stop me, as long as I have this.
KKimblee
So the Fuehrer himself has come to see me. I'm flattered.
I have an assignment for you, A secret one. I want you to take doctor Tucker's cameras into Lior. Don't be spotted.
KKimblee
Oh, I get it. I cause just enough trouble that the rebels retaliate, then we can claim they started it. Brilliant.
I designed these cameras to defend us, not attack.
Preemption is a difficult concept for people to understand. we will be able to explain the matter better if they attack first. Also, I've been told a state alchemist has already gone into Lior and not returned.
I have no doubt those zealots have killed him. Make certain you bring back his corpse.
KKimblee
Of course, an even better reason for war; people love a martyr. Trust me, if he is not dead yet, he will be soon.
So it is you. The Crimson Alchemist.
KKimblee
Who the hell? Oh, now I remember. That scar is definitely my handiwork. I thought I got your arm.
I swore an oath not to kill another State Alchemist. But I'll make one last exception!
KKimblee
Damn. Now it makes sense. That is your brother's old arm, isn't it? How touching.
Don't bother using those stones. I'll just absorb their lives into my arm. And then I'll use them to create the Philosopher's Stone.
KKimblee
Do you really think it wise to be chasing me around like this when the military could come in at any moment Scar?
Oh, I think I'll chance it to avenge my brother Kimblee.
KKimblee
You're risking your own life for something pointless as revenge?
And what is it that you're killing for?
Nothing? You mean to say you slaughtered all these people for nothing.
KKimblee
At the end of the day, humans are nothing more than the components to form a common bond. If you think about it, we are not that special. Not you, not me, we are all empty. We are all worthless.
I might be empty... but not worthless!
KKimblee
Cut me some slack Al. I'm just a state alchemist trying to do his job, just like your brother.
(to Kimblee) You're just a murderer. (to Scar) And you have to stop this. It won't solve anything.
Stay out of it Al. You don't understand.
What will you accomplish by shedding more blood? Please, just walk away.
KKimblee
Well how do you like that? Looks like I've managed to get rid of both of your arm's old boy. Do you smell that? It smells like defeat. Any minute now, you arm will begin to absorb the oxygen from the air and then, kablooy.
You say humans have no impact, no meaning; so tell me how much of an impact i make on you!
Go and find your brother, I must do what eh two of you can not.
What were those stones doing in Ed's watch?
KKimblee
Really Al? You didn't expect me to play without a loaded deck, did you?
KKimblee
It is going to be so magnificent Al. I can feel your makeup. You are going to make such a magnificent bond. Farewell my friend.
What's going on? I feel strange. My body...
KKimblee
My work is so intricate. Only an explosives expert like myself can diffuse it. But you are going to have to find someone else, because I'm about to retire. No need to hurry, you still have plenty of time left. I've mad his armor react slowly whit the oxygen in the air, gradually spreading, until he is completely black. I want him to have time to reflect and think about how meaningless his efforts have been.
No! It has to be a lie. My body! I'm scared.
Stay still Alphonse Elric. I'm not sure what it happening, but we don't want to make it any worse. Just try not to exert yourself.
I wouldn't touch him if I were you, scared man.
That arm is only good for destroying things, not remaking them. Now if Edward were here, he could transmute his brother's body into some other substance, disrupting Kimblee's alchemy, stopping this bond.
You think that would work, altering his composition?
Leave him. He is a lost cause. You have to think of yourself now, your own goal of forging the stone.
Just as I thought. You aren't my brother's love. The woman I knew would never have acted so heartless and cold.
