FMA Brotherhood #28
FMA Brotherhood #28: Father

Gluttony guided Al to the lair where 'Father' waited. Al was shocked to see the man having his own father's appearance. Just then, Ed, Ling and Envy broke out of Gluttony's stomach. 'Father' was delighted to learn that Hohem had two sons - Ed and Al. Ed and Al were shocked to see 'Father' able to heal them without applying the law of equvalent exchange.

Ling was shocked and fearful of 'Father's eyes and his ideas that human beings are lowly creatures. 'Father' told them that humans were like ants to him and summoned Gluttony to eat Ling. Immediately, Al, Ed and Ling fought them but 'Father' was able to block all their attacks easily. With a stamp of his foot, bright red lights filled the place and deactivated Al and Ed's ability to carry out transmutation. Out in the mountainous place, Hohem watched an area from afar.

Back in the lair, Ed and Al as well as Ling were pinned to the ground. 'Father' inserted Greed's Philosopher's Stone into Ling's wound. Thinking of Ran Fan's earlier sacrifice of her arm, Ling did not hesitate to sacrifice his body to Greed in order to gain Philosopher's Stone. Ed and Al were aghast. Suddenly, Scar and Chang Mei entered the room. Chang Mei reunited with Xiao Mei.

Chang Mei had a fearful feeling of 'Father' and was greatly disappointed to see Ed short, a far difference from her imagination of a genius alchemist. She retorted that Ed had cheated her feeling. Much to Ed and Al's surprise, Scar and Chang Mei were able to activate transmutation despite 'Father's technique. Greed!Ling fought Ed while Al saved Chang Mei from Gluttony. Ed told Scar of 'Father' and Envy's involvement in causing war in his country and the angry Scar attacked 'Father' who was still astonished of Scar's ability to use alchemy. Al and Scar joined forces. Scar managed to escape the scene while Al hid Chang Mei in time. The trapped Ed and Al were sent back to the military building by Envy under 'Father's command. When everything was clear, 'Father' detached Gluttony's Philosopher's Stone from his damaged body and promised to find a new one for him with his memory intact.
