"The Beasts of Dublith" - "Daburisu no Kemono-tachi" (ダブリスの獣たち)

Ed and Al are "expelled" by Izumi, who had wanted to treat them as equals and not master and student according to Sig. Meanwhile, Roy plays a chess game with General Grumman before he announced to Riza, Jean, Heymans and Vato that they are all going back to be restationed in Central. Scar, recovering in an Ishbalan squatter colony, was advised by the elder that pursuing the current State Alchemists in the Amestrisian military would not do the surviving Ishbalans any good. Yoki recruits two thugs to capture Scar and bring him back to Central due to his connections to the murder of Basque Gran. Scar easily defeats them and leaves the colony. Lured to a trap after reading a threatening note regarding Ed and Al's secret, Al is captured by Greed's ex-military chimera henchmen to figure out how to transmute a soul into an empty armor. Ed initially faces off against Dorchet before Greed, the latter using his "Shield" to make himself invulnerable to Ed's attacks before Ed was able to find a way around it. Izumi intervenes in the battle, attacking Greed by surprise.
