Mustang, Alphonse, Havoc, and Hawkeye split up to search a military laboratory. If Lust has her way, none of them will ever see each other alive again.

Ed’s journey to a distant land of legend offers surprising new details behind Mustang’s alleyway encounter with Ross. After a fateful encounter of his own, Elric learns a stunning secret about Winry’s parents.

Freed by an unlikely liberator, Ross’s escape is interrupted by Mustang. Even those most loyal to the Flame Alchemist are shaken by the controversial action he takes against the accused killer of Maes Hughes.

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.
