So, if you pray and polish the alter enough times, someone who’s dead will be brought back to life?
Something like that!
Water: 35 l. Carbon: 20 kg. Ammonia: 4 l. Lime: 1.5 kg. Phosphorus: 800 g. Salt: 250 g. Saltpeter: 100 g. Sulfur: 80 g. Fluorine 7.5 g. Iron 5 g. Silicon 3 g. and trace amounts of 15 other elements.
What’s that?
It’s all the ingredients of the average adult human body down to the last speck of protein in your eyelashes. And even though science has given us the entire physical breakdown, there’s never been a successful attempt at bring a human to life… There’s still something missing… Something scientists haven’t been able to find in centuries of research… So what makes you think that hack job priest with his parlor tricks is going to be able to? And in case you’re wondering… All those ingredients can be bought on a child’s allowance. Humans can be built on the cheap. There’s no magic to it.
WELL IF THERE’S NO MAGIC THEN YOU BRING SOMEONE BACK TO LIFE!
It’s just a matter of time Rose. Science will find a way. Science is the answer to everything. If I were you… I’d drop the scriptures… And pick up an alchemy book… We’re the closest thing to gods there are…
You’re not a god. You’re nothing close to it.
And neither is the sun. It’s just a mass of hydrogen. Get close to it, like Cornello claims… And all you’ll do is burn up…
Great, Ed. Put your total cynicism on someone else…
Don’t worry, Elric. Your brother will join you soon.
Cray! What are you doing?!
These two are enemies of God. This is His will Rose. Not mine. (Points the gun at Ed)
I don’t think so Mister.
(Grunts, and throws the helmet at Cray)
I got it! I got it!
Strike!
Ah! He doesn’t have a head!
Haha, yeah, that’s Al.
Please don’t be scared, Rose. This is how I am…
You’re not there!
It’s true. I don’t have a body. But I’m here. This is my punishment for setting foot on holy ground where mortals are forbidden. We made a mistake, Rose. And we’re paying for it.
Ahhh!
Rose, wait!
Cray’s was right! They are evil! What have I done? The made me doubt you, Cornello! Forgive me, please!
I can’t see a church social down here can you? Uh? There she is!
You’ve wrestled with the darkness and prevailed, Rose. Thank you for bringing them here. State Alchemist, brutal enforcers, I had a feeling one of you would show up some day!
Well let’s not chalk that up to pious premonitions, okay? You knew we’d come for the stone!
Err… You mean this young man?
Grr… I knew it, alchemy without a transmutation circle, completely ignoring the principle of Equivalent Exchange! It could only mean one thing…!
Yes the mythical gin, legendary amplifier, the philosopher’s stone…
That’s it Al, it’s ours… Cough it up Cornello! That stone belongs to me now! And if you hand it over peacefully we won’t tell the people here what you’ve been doing!
