Hohenheim, who had managed to converse with all the souls within his philosopher's stone, had infused the souls into Father's body to destroy it from the inside. However, Father shows his true form and is able to survive outside of his container, yet somehow he escapes from the inevitable and gets rid of his skin which appears to be a container. Meanwhile, Bradley begins his attack on the headquarters and solely takes on the resisting forces, as well as destroying Buccaneer's automail arm.
