Kimblee continues to cause trouble for Edward and his partnered chimeras before injuring the young alchemist and escaping to rouse the troops of neighbouring Drachma. The assault on Briggs by Drachma is quickly put down by the hardened soldiers before they march on towards Central to assist General Olivier Armstrong.

A healed Edward teams up with Greed and Lan Fan to take on Pride and Gluttony, but not before the battle takes a turn for the worse. A helping hand from Hohenheim and Alphonse, leaves Alphonse trapped with Pride under a mountain of dirt used to prevent the homunculus from using his shadows.

Over in Central, Roy Mustang manages to muster enough of his troops to begin his attack on the military headquarters and puts his plan into fruition by kidnapping a key person close to King Bradley — his wife. While King Bradley returns to Central to assert his command over the military, the news of an attack on the Fuhrer’s train allows General Armstrong to pursue her plan in taking control of the military… but it may not last.
