Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

The Freezing Alchemist?

Yes. He has sneaked his way here into the Central.

Colonel Roy Mustang, I would like to put you in charge of capturing him.

If that is your order.

Oh, I'm so glad you are in Central.

- I can rest assured leaving this to you. - Yes, sir.

One more thing. The boy is here, as well. Use him however you like.

Fuhrer Bradley, by boy, do you mean...?

Yes, the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric.

Man, the colonel is such a slave driver.

We'd already bought our tickets to Liore, but that's been cancelled, huh?

Nothing we can do about it.

- Let's hurry and get this over with, Al. - Brother.

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

There he goes! That way!

Halt! Halt, or else!

Freezing and boiling, both attributes of water.

Alchemy...

What a nasty thing to do.

In order to do great things, sacrifices must be made.

It's what's known as equivalent exchange.

There's no way you can call that equivalent exchange!

Without even a transmutation circle...

You can't afford to be so intrigued!

What?! Impossible!

Any water in there should have boiled!

You ruined my coat, you know.

Automail...

The skill of a gifted alchemist, one who doesn't use transmutation circles,

as well as an automail right arm.

You are the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric.

- Not you? - Oh, I'm his younger brother, Alphonse.

- This runt? - Who's a puny runt?

To think that the man they call the Fullmetal Alchemist

is just a little child.

Don't call me little!

Brother, I don't think he meant your height just now.

Even if he didn't, he's going to pay.

That's the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric, for you.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

- No, I'm his younger brother, Alphonse. - Okay.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Al. Now, let's get going.

Geez, you're always so impatient.

- Steam? - Brother! He's loose!

Damn it! Trifle with us, will he?

Looks like you underestimated your opponent, Fullmetal.

Who is that guy?

I thought I told you to listen to the briefing.

But no, you had to go right after him--

Yeah, yeah, all right. I'm terribly sorry.

You should listen more carefully when your elders speak.

Right, right.

Now then, his name is Isaac McDougal.

He's a former State Alchemist, who they called Isaac the Freezer.

Former?

That's right. He took part in the Ishvalan War of Extermination

as a member of the military.

After the war, he renounced his State Alchemist title

and went on to join the antiestablishment movement.

Taking him into custody is a matter of top priority.

We may have to kill him, depending on the situation.

I'm not about to kill anyone.

Suit yourself. All we're after is your performance.

By the way, have you found any leads on getting your bodies back to normal?

You never give me any time to!

Yo, Roy! Hell of an order you drew,

to take the Freezing Alchemist into custody, huh?

Or is this your big chance to be promoted to Central?

HERE COMES THE PEST

Oh? By any chance, are you the Elric brothers?

Wow, it's an honor to meet the youngest State Alchemist.

- I'm Maes Hughes, Lt. Colonel. - I'm his younger brother, Alphonse.

What? You're the Fullmetal Alchemist?

Don't you call me little!

- Hughes. - Yeah?

If you don't need anything, then go home.

I will go once my business is done.

You guys don't have a place to stay yet, right?

So come home with me.

My wife, Gracia, and my daughter, Elicia.

Elicia...

- Papa, your beard hurts. - It does? Skritchy skritchy!

Look, these are our guests today, the Elric brothers.

So big!

So little!

Elicia, I am Edward Elric,

and this is my younger brother, Alphonse Elric.

Understand? Younger brother.

If you're the older brother, how come you're so little?

Let me go, Al! Don't stop me!

Now, now, they're letting us stay here, so behave yourself.

Let's have dinner right away. Gracia's cooking is delicious.

- Okay, eat up. - I graciously accept this meal.

Yum! It's delicious!

- Have plenty, okay? - Sure!

Alphonse, you can't eat while still wearing your armor, right?

Well, you see...

Al is in the middle of his alchemy training right now.

Okay, Al, I'll eat enough for both of us today, too.

Training! Training!

CENTRAL PRISON

That's the funniest joke I've heard in a while.

The Freezing Alchemist and me, team up?

Me, the Crimson Alchemist?

Kimblee, together we'll get Bradley, and bring down this rotten military.

You must have seen the hell that took place in Ishval.

You must know what Bradley made us do there.

That's why you killed those officers, right?

Please, don't misunderstand.

I do not think in such sophisticated terms.

I killed those guys because I wanted to kill them, nothing more.

That's too bad, Kimblee. It truly is too bad.

Good work.

- This is unusual. Can't sleep? - Nah.

Do you want me to guess?

You were thinking about those two, weren't you?

State Alchemists are the ones who people call Dogs of the Military.

When I think of him being called that at his age...

Brother, are you awake?

Mrs. Gracia's quiche looked like Mom's, huh?

- Yeah, it was delicious. - Really?

In that case, I'll have to add it to the list of things to eat

once I get my body back.

Yeah, add it on, add it on.

Brother...

I sure would like to get our old bodies back soon.
