After learning of Hughes’s fate, Ed and Al are ravaged by sadness and guilt. Envy still hides in plain sight among the State Alchemists, and another Homunculus is on the verge of infiltrating their ranks as well.

The Elrics scuffle with Ling Yao and his attendants, Lan Fan and Fu, visitors from Xing seeking the Philosopher’s Stone. Ed may not like him, but Ling Yao’s not leaving until he gets what he wants.

As one shared journey ends, many journeys begin. Those most touched by the conflict which surrounded the Philosopher’s Stone now go their separate ways. One thing is certain: they will meet again.

When the battle ends, the one known as Father meets his final fate beyond the Gateway. When the one known as Fullmetal enters the sacred space, he finds only the promise of a new beginning.

A truly epic battle erupts when Edward, Mustang, Hawkeye, Greed, Izumi, and Armstrong attack the god-like Father. The odds are against the forces of good – until one brave boy makes a shocking sacrifice.

Millions of lifeless bodies litter the landscape of Amestris, and a being with the power to create suns is unleashed upon the world. Unless Hohenheim has something amazing up his sleeve, all is surely lost.

The light is gone. Shadows swallow everything. As the planet quakes and the heavens tremble, the souls of heroes and villains alike vanish into darkness. The circle is complete.

As the light of the sun vanishes, Mustang learns the loss which comes from seeing the other side of the Gateway – and five sacrifices gather in the dark presence of the Father.

Mustang must make a difficult choice: will he break alchemy’s greatest taboo? Or will he watch the person dearest to him die? Meanwhile, it grows ever more difficult to discern where Ling ends and Greed begins.

The battle for a nation’s soul descends into chaos. Bradley unleashes death on those who dare engage him. Beneath Central, the one responsible for the Fuhrer’s creation unleashes something far, far worse.

Central’s forces fight with renewed vigor following Bradley’s return, and the Fuhrer himself enters the battle. His first opponent is an armored tank. His second foe is even tougher.

A rebel victory is imminent and hope takes hold among Mustang and Armstrong’s troops. Central’s forces teeter on the brink of collapse – until their fallen leader returns to take control.

As Envy writhes within the firestorm unleashed by Mustang’s vengeful rage, Hawkeye must take drastic measures to prevent the Flame Alchemist’s hatred from burning out of control.

After a startling radio broadcast grants Mustang’s forces the advantage over Central’s troops, the Flame Alchemist unleashes the brutal power of burning hatred in the battle against the killer of Maes Hughes.

With a Philosopher’s Stone in his possession, Alphonse fearlessly engages Pride and Kimblee. Elsewhere, the Armstrongs find themselves trapped between Sloth’s onslaught and the guns of Central’s troops.

Ed’s crew faces a horde of ravenous mannequins, abominations powered by human souls. The twisted creatures aren’t the only unstoppable force on the battlefield –Pride, Sloth, and Envy are on the move.

Mustang leads a ragtag assault force of hardy northern troops – and welcome faces from the past – against Central’s defenses. Victory seems certain until the military’s most horrifying secret is revealed.

With his father’s help, Al takes incredible steps to contain the monstrous Pride. As the sun begins to rise on the Promised Day, the youngest Elric listens while the Homunculus ponders his very human mother.

After investigating the twisted roots of the Bradley family tree, Mustang gathers his most loyal troops. Meanwhile, Ed and his allies continue fighting Selim, who shocks everyone by turning on his own kind.

A sinister voice rings out from the shell of Al’s armor, and Ed and Greed find themselves under attack. As the Homunculi use the darkness to their advantage, a face from the past arrives to join the battle.
