The Abyss

Miles and his men set off with the intent of killing Kimblee and his henchmen, something Edward objects to. As Scar and company exit the mine, they find Alphonse, who warns them about Central Command Headquarters infiltrating Briggs Fortress, so Scar decides to take them toward an Ishvalan slum. Miles attempts to snipe Kimblee, but Kimblee has already figured out the trap and uses a cover of snow to enter the mines. Edward tries to follow, but is attacked by two more chimeras, Darius and Heinkel. Edward disables them by using the ammonia in dynamite to make a stink bomb to overwhelm their high sense of smell. Edward then knocks the philosopher's stone out of Kimblee's hand, but Kimblee uses another philosopher's stone hidden inside his mouth, sending Edward and the chimeras down a mine shaft and leaving Edward impaled by a steel bar. At the same time, Alphonse starts to drift out of consciousness, saying his soul is being drawn back to his body. Remembering the promise he made Winry and determined not to die, Edward gets the chimeras to remove the bar while he sacrifices some of his life span to temporarily fix the wound and to stop the bleeding. The chimeras find the philosopher's stone that Kimblee dropped, and, thankful for their rescue, decide to take Edward to a doctor.
