The town of Liore has been handled tightly, just a harmless, bottomless sand now, there is no one left to do anything useful.
Beautiful work, Envy, we’re glad to have you back in our midst; things are going well here, too.
But what about this runt, Fullmetal? I heard he’s gotten wind of the lab. Don’t you think we should take care of him, Lust? Before he tells the military our secret!
I’ll kill them! Let me! Let me, please!
Be patient. I’ve watched them for a long time, and I still think they can grant our wish, we can always kill them after that.
I don’t care what you do with them, Lust, as long as they don’t mess up our, ‘precious plans’. Although, I do think it’s unlikely that they’ll get past those ‘funhouse’ guards no one ever does.
I gave them direct orders not to lay a hand on the boys, but that ensures nothing. They are idiots after all.
If it starts looking like too much trouble we’ll have to kill them all.
Damn it! This is smaller than I thought! See, if I was normal-sized, I wouldn't have fit, and we would have had to call this off. It really is a good thing I'm so small. AAAUGHH! NO IT'S NOT! ARRGHHH!
Lights are still on… How do they explain that when they say they don’t use this place anymore… Just running up the bill for fun? Ah!!! What the hell was that?! Ah! AH! He-he… For them to go to all this trouble they must have something they really don’t want to be seen… I’m getting excited… I just love being right… Eh? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Ha-ha… HAHAHAHA! At last!
SSlicer
Where are you going...? We’re under orders... Not to lay a hand on them.
Orders? I don’t care about orders. This one’s all for me! I’m going to drain out their marrows!
SSlicer
But there are two in our quarry and two of us… You can’t monopolize the pleasure…
AH! You know for a lifeless, fallen rock, it sure is persistent! Gah! No… See? And all this time I thought being normal size would be a good thing… DAMMIT! Enough is enough!!!
SSlicer
I’m its immortal guard.
No. You’re hardly immortal…
That seal of blood, it’s alchemy. Someone took the iron in that blood and in-tuned it to the metal in your armor. That’s what keeps your soul bound to this world. If someone breaks the seal that’s made, then you’re a dead man.
SSlicer
Finally! Someone with a backbone! Someone who thinks they can live! This should be a good fight!
I told you I know your weakness, this is your final chance before I use it…
SSlicer
I don’t care! See, I’m the type of person who likes a little struggle in the kill… So try to make it last.
SSlicer
Just like a monkey, aren't you?
You better watch your mouth!
SSlicer
It’s been so long since I've had such responsive prey. But judging from your wound and your breathing, it won't last much longer. My body, unlike yours, does not know fatigue. Give up any hope you've had, as we speak, my colleague is disposing of your companion outside; you can’t rely on him to help you now.
Heh… So this colleague of yours, is he strong?
SSlicer
Yes, he is, though not as strong as myself. (Edward begins to laugh) What’s so funny?
(Sighs) I’ve got nothing to worry about then. My companion as you put it, I’ve fought him plenty of times and I’ve never beat him once.
Ah! Quit that! Hold still so I can cut you up! (Attacks Alphonse) Miserable heathen! You’re spoiling at me aren’t you!? I’ll spiel your insides! I’ll show you how thinly you slice! (Alphonse trips backwards on a rock) NOW YOU’RE FRIGHTENED! I’LL CARVE OUT A SHOULDER ROAST! (Alphonse breaks the knife, and grabs the other one, #66 gasps as Alphonse punches him sending him backwards making his helmet come off Alphonse gasps.) Now you’ve gone and done it, you brute! You’ve knocked off my head!
Yes. That’s what they said when they sentenced me… And thanks to the circumstances, it ended up quite literal… You don’t recognize me like this do you?
Don’t tell me you forgot! After all it was thanks to you’re help catching me that I ended up here… A condemned man… #66 was my name on death row. But back when I was flesh, and entrails, I had better names… Barry the Butcher… Or my favorite… Barry the Chopper...!
Barry the Chopper? (Flashbacks) You’re the one who kidnapped Winry…
That’s right! And after being caught, Imprisoned, and executed… I’ve come back from a pit of fire to take my revenge on YOU, maggot! AHAHAHAHA!
(Tilts head innocently) Is that so?
“Is that so?” What do you mean: “Is that so?”?!?! People get terrified when serial killers come back from the dead and an empty suit of armor moves on its own! You should be saying “Ah!” or “Ah! Why he doesn’t have a body!” What’s wrong with you?! Don’t you realize how horrifying I am?!
(Takes off helmet) Take it easy… You’re going to hurt my feelings…
Hmm… Are you an executed prisoner, too?
Hmm… I suppose not… No… Why would you be helping the police? But who cares where you came from!? I know your weakness now! You’d better beg for mercy! Your life belongs to me! If I destroy the blood seal on your armor you’ll die!
The same goes for you… Right?
Ah! But I still have the advantage you rotten beast! You don’t know where my blood seal is!
And you don’t know where my seal is either…
(Freaks out) Well then I’ll just have to chop you up until I find it! And you can’t do that! ‘Cause you don’t have a knife! Ah!
(Rubs his helmet) Why do I have to get the crazy one?
Are you saying that me coming here was part of your plan all along? Al and I started this journey three years ago for our own reasons, of our own free will! And we went through hell to get here.
You're here because that is what we wanted.
Al and I are nobody's puppets! Not the State's, and definitely not yours!
It's an equivalent exchange... I'm going to tell you everything you need to know to make a Philosopher's Stone. And in return, you are going to to use it to turn all of us into humans.
And why the hell should I trust you guys?
Oh, but you misunderstand me, Fullmetal. We're not asking... We're telling. Do you know what happens to an attached soul... when you do this? [begins to scratch the Older Slicer's blood seal]
Stop it! You can't do that! He's still a human being!
OSOlder Slicer
Edward Elric, I want you to... [Lust destroys his blood seal]
[knocks Al's helmet off and touches his blood seal] This won't take long.
No! Please don't hurt him! He's my little brother! Please don't take him away! I'm begging you!
[uses alchemy to fix the ceiling]
