"You may think you are hot stuff Sakura, but remember, a person who doesn't possess a single ounce of alchemy cannot survive in this world against the evils that creep around every corner in this world, but you will learn that in the next life," Hohenheim said as he walked down the stairway and pointed a massive gun at Sakura, "oh, and do tell Lt. Colonel Maes Hughes 'hi' for me when you see him."

Sakura's eyes narrowed as she picked up her blade, "Don't you dare," She raced towards him, "SPEAK ABOUT MAES THAT WAY YOU PIECE OF TRASH!" She screamed out, leaping into the air as Hohenheim fired his guns. She gracefully outmaneuvered the bullets as her body fell to earth, and held her blade to one side as she landed, cutting off Hohenheim's left arm. She rolled backwards and out of harms way, leaping to her feet and coming in to attack again, missing him this time. "I may not know what an Iscariot is, my own mother may hate me, my brother may not remember me, and I may not have any purpose in this life, but if I die, I'm dragging you down to hell with me!" She shouted, plunging her sword through his heart as one of his bullets hit it's mark, tearing through her lung. Life was still for a moment, then both fell backwards onto the floor.

Sakura didn't know whether she was still alive or if she was fading into the heavenly glow of a white light as she her eyes fluttered open to find Hohenheim standing over her, holding his left arm which was a stump now. As he stood over her, he held a sword above her throat as he prepared to ram the sword into her throat, but in an instant, Tomoyo gained courage like a bull. She rushed him like a quarterback, the force was so powerful that it sent him flying into a wall of gears that caused his flowing shirt to get caught into the gears.

"Who is the weakling now Hohenheim?" Tomoyo asked as she looked back to Sakura with a happy grin.

"Very good performance for a pathetic and incompetent ninja, but still Sakura, you will still remain an Iscariot to me!" Dante said as she rushed at Sakura with lightening speed; picking Sakura up by the scruff of her collar.

"You haven't told me yet, what is an Iscariot and why do you continue to state that I am such a being?" Sakura asked harshly as she felt her air being cut off as Dante's cold fingers wrapped themselves around Sakura's neck.

Dante smiled coldly.

"I suppose I'll tell you. As your parting gift from this world. An Iscariot, much like the Ishbalans of today, were a people who were slaughtered for no true reason by this great nation." She laughed at that, watching the horrified faces of Sakura's loved ones, "They were known for their snow white hair and porcelain fine skin. However, they themselves had a secret: their bodies, under stressful situations, could produce true philosophers stones. They themselves had no alchemic abilities, but when they were near, an alchemist preformed better because of the stone. My husband, Daisuke's father, found you in the river. You were in a small basket made from reeds. I remember because Daisuke was asking if he could use it as a boat. He and his father begged me to let us keep you, and then once I agreed, my husband went and got himself killed. Of course, I could care less whether you lived or died, so I let Daisuke care for you. He never did tell you that you two weren't related, but no matter. I'll always hate you for your tainted blood." As Dante spoke, Greed saw flashes of his former life: a large mansion, a rather stern-looking woman in a kimono, a young girl with long blue hair leaning into him, and then the smiling face of a young girl with long white hair and porcelain skin.

"No, why am I remembering all of this now! I'm a Homunculi, I'm not human! WHY MUST I BE TORTURED LIKE THIS!" Greed shouted as he rushed up to Dante and pulled her away from Sakura, "why didn't you tell me that I was once human? WHY!"

"I thought it would be best that you didn't know the truth, I felt it would make you weak, but that didn't stop Envy from falling in love with her," Dante said smugly as she took a secret dagger out and began to draw a transmutation circle upon his body, carving a tattoo of the circle into his abdomen, "you were never meant for this life; so long….my son!"

Dante stuck the bloody dagger into the middle of the circle, which activated the circle and deactivating the alchemy of Greed's ultimate shield. Ed stared in disbelief as he saw Greed become a pile of ashes on the floor; Sakura had been dropped from Dante's grip and she now kneeled in the piles of ashes that had once been Daisuke. Ed finally realized, Hohenheim wasn't the only one responsible for the creation of the Homunculi Envy, but Dante seemed to be the one behind all the creations.

"So, each of these artificial humans are nothing more then puppets for your sick game of trying to gain a stone that many have attempted to gain, but have lost more then their self being…they have lost their sanity; and from the looks of things….you lost your sense of human moral long before all of this," Ed said as he shoved himself from Al's arms and started to wobbly walk towards Dante.

Roy was still unresponsive to anyone's help as he lay limp and lifeless upon the floor as Riza held his head in her lap upon the floor while Lt. Havoc and Tomoyo watched over the pair. Riza hummed to herself as to keep her mind off the image of the Colonel, the image of a sword through one hand that now protruded into his lungs; each breath was hard for Roy as he attempted to maintain some form of consciousness.

"Riza, don't worry about me, I've been in worse scrapes then this," Roy said with each painful breath, "can't think of any right now."
"Save your breath, you need to keep up your strength for the walk out of here," Riza said with a sob in her voice as she stroked Roy's face with her delicate fingers.
