Full Plot Summary

Upon seeing Hohenheim, Edward's group is notified about the Promised Day, and in return Edward tells of the last dying words Trisha had told him. Soon after, Edward's group leave, only to run into Alphonse. However, it is revealed that Alphonse is being controlled by Pride. Although it seems that Pride gets the upper hand, Edward responds by blacking out the slums and taking away the light so that Pride cannot use his shadows. Heinkel uses this opportunity to find and attack Pride, but Gluttony then fights Edward, Greed, and Darius. Greed, having a disadvantage in the dark, agrees to switch places with Ling, who uses his detection abilities to fight Gluttony. As Gluttony starts to use his full power, he is overwhelmed by the arrival of Lan Fan, who is now equipped with automail.
