In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his
leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of
armor. Equipped with mechanical ""auto-mail"" limbs, Edward becomes a
state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his and his
brother's bodies...the legendary Philosopher's Stone.
The story enters its final stretch as the Elric brothers learn of the
homunculi's ultimate plan to turn all of Amestris into an alchemical
bloodbath on the "Day of Reckoning." While tempted to use the open
portal that day to get their bodies back, for now the brothers build
opposition to the homunculi-corrupted military with others who have
learned of the grisly plan. While Al learns the secret of the
homunculi's origins from his father, Ed joins forces with a familiar
homunculus who seems to be having pangs of conscience.
