One night, Homunculus had been summoned by the King of Xerxes, who asked Homunculus to tell him the secret for immortality. Homunculus had tricked the king into making a gigantic transmutation circle, using the whole country as a sacrifice, while it and Hohenheim stood at the center of the circle. When Hohenheim had awakened, everyone else in Xerxes was dead, except for Homunculus. It had created a body shaped like Hohenheim for itself, then becoming known as Father. Back in the present, after Hohenheim awakes from this shared dream, he runs into Izumi and Sig. When Hohenheim notices that Izumi committed the ultimate sin, he rearranges her organs so that her blood can flow better.

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.
