Metallic Hearts [FullMetal Alchemist Episode Forty: The Scar
Scar: "If you've come all this way to find me then you must have some idea on what I'm planning." p
You: "Yeah, there's a rumor that you're about to do something really stupid. Create the Philosopher's Stone. There's something important that I've needed to ask you, Scar. Four years ago there was a Chimera in Central. Part human part dog." p
Scar: "I returned her soul to Ishbala." p
You: "You killed a little girl." p
Scar: "Out of mercy, not pleasure." p
You: "Those are not decision that anyone is allowed to make, damnit" p
Scar: "Is there anything else you'd like to say?" p
You: "Is there anything you'd like me to say, Scar? Something about sacrificing Rose and her people too?" p
Scar: "How do you know about Rose?" p
You: "Oh, her and I go way back. About 2 years ago now I'd say. If you want to kill me, here's your chance." Your ears popped out of your hair and you looked over to see Lust and Gluttony. "Fantastic, you two. . ." Scar tensed. p
Lust: "Relax Ishbalan, we came to help you. Or should I call you Scar?" p
Scar: "I don't need help from the likes of you." p
Lust: "If you can create the Philosopher's Stone like you say that you can, we're going to help you whether you like it or not. And blondie here must except that too." p
Scar: "Does this locket mean anything to you? You gave it to my brother." Lust gasped and seemed to pass out, Gluttony caught her and jumped off. p
You: "What exactly do you know about that Homunculus?" p
Scar: "That is none of your concern." p
Rose: "Wait!" p
Lyra: "Maybe you should tell her how you know that strange woman." p
You: "Homunculi. Do you know how they're created? Human Transmutation, and the outcome is something inhuman that looks like the person that was supposed to be brought back." p
Scar: "You're saying my brother created Lust." You took the locket from Scar's hand. p
You: "She doesn't hate this thing for no reason. Remains left behind either on or part of the person that they were meant to resurrect weakens homunculi. Back to the matter at hand. . .the Philosopher's Stone. How do you plan on doing this?" p
Scar: "All of the humans lives sacrificed in the old Ishbal are in this arm, but it still now enough." p
You: "So you're using Rose so she can stand by and watch as her people are sacrificed for your cause?" p
Lyra: "You miss understand his tactics, he doesn't plan to sacrifice anyone from Lior." p
You: "What are you doing here anyway?" p
Lyra: "After Dante was killed I didn't know what to do. I went someplace where I could do something good with Alchemy. Here, I learned about Scar and his plans for justice. Before the attack, the people will escape through a trap door under the church. When the military invades, Scar will activate the array." p
You: "Soldiers are humans too, I don't care what you think of the military." Rose came down the stairs with a baby in her arms before leaving. p
Scar: "You have no idea what the soldiers have done here." p
You: "Rape? Murder? Yeah, I probably do." p
Fuhrer: "I have an assignment for you. A secret one. I want you to take the Chimera's and make your way into Lior. Don't be spotted. I've heard a State Alchemist has gone into Lior and has not returned." p
Tucker: "Lita Nitro." p
Fuhrer: "Make sure you bring back her corpse." p
Kimbley: "Of course, a better reason to start a war. Could I rough her up a bit? Rape and Murder? That would make a lot of strong people angry, especially if they think that Scarred Man did it." p
Fuhrer: "Make it happen, Kimbley." p
Marta: "So it all starts again!" She pushed a knife to his throat. "I won't let you do that to her. She is a good person, and a beautiful pure soul that I wont let that bastard taint." p
Kimbley: "Who me? I won't hurt her too much, I promise. I'll just hurt her enough that she screams so much her voice is hoarse, but her eyes will scream for death." He chuckled and licked his lips. Marta growled but gasped when the Fuhrer took off his patch and revealed the Ouroborus on his eye. Marta ran off to find the Elric's." p
Marta: "Al! Listen carefully, I don't have much time!" She jumped into Al's suit. "Kimbley is going after Lita, to kill her! And the Fuhrer is a. . .Homunculus!" At that moment the Fuhrer appeared behind Al and slid his sword through the gap below Al's chin, spearing Marta." p
Fuhrer: "I hope she didn't cause you any harm Alphonse, and now that vicious Chimera has been executed. I thank you for your help." Al shook and dropped to the ground as the blood began to seep through the cracks of his armor.
