Father stood in front of a whole crowd of white-clothed Briggs men. No words had to be spoken. It was obvious that he was the treat there. The men gasped before pointing their guns at him. "Let's get him!" One of them ordered. The determination of this was short-lived because Father raised his hand which made red sparks crackle around the men dressed in white. The men started to gasp and hack in hopes of getting air only for nothing. Father walked forward and made the deadly transmutation even stronger. It was almost certain that they would perish. Until an arrow slammed into Father's back which made the red sparks cease. His golden eyes glared over at the attacker. There stood Hohenheim with his hand extended to the man. "I won't let you sacrifice even more people!" He yelled.

-A Fierce Counterattack-

Shortly Al, May, and Izumi appeared at the scene. "Dad!" Al gasped now running to him. "He was planning on using them to make another Philosopher Stone." Hohenheim stated. The group gasped and then got into a fighting stance. Father didn't even bother to move at this but only stared them down. "What else are these useless humans good for?" Hohenheim looked down and shook his head softly. Then he looked up to start his lecture.

 "You treat humans like a lower life form but don't you see? Only they can be made to make a Philosopher Stone, and only from a stone can a homunculus arise. But what does a homunculus produce? What do you create?" He asked continuously which made the man silent for a few seconds. "Creation is everything and all you do is destroy! You may think that you reached a perfect state of being but you have hit nothing but a dead end!"

"I can create!" Father stated. "Shall I create some humans for you?" The warriors gasped at the mere thought of him creating humans. Not because he despises them with every fiber in his being but because it can end badly for them. He then raised his arms and skinish globs crawled out of his stomach all at once making their stomach turn. May and Izumi held a look of horror at the sight of this. These people started to scream and shout at this and crawl out of Father's skin. The group of golden-haired men and women started to stand up and walk over to the group of living beings. These people were the people of Xerxes.

One of these people looked like the king of the nation as he stood and let out an olden sound. Hohenheim gasped and his eyes grew wide. "At least... I have found immortality..." The king rasped walking forward."Don't you see that I am still alive?" "K-King Xerxes? Is that you?" Hohenheim questioned breathlessly. Izumi gasped and took a step back at them closing in. Suddenly a small hand touched Izumi's foot. Then she gasped and Izumi saw a baby crawling over to her while mumbling mama. She gasped and cupped her mouth with her hand. "T-This isn't happening..." She whimpered.

A group of teenage boys walked over to Al and May which made the two girls hide behind the armor. "A body... I have a body!" The boys gasped now touching at Al's chest piece."No..." Al breathlessly begged. "Please stop this... It isn't... It isn't right..." More men crowded around Hohenheim while speaking of things from the past from the time when Xerxes wasn't in ruins. He just stared in shock and was numb from everything he was looking at. "This is wrong...DAMN YOU!!!"At this time Ally and Ed finally showed up at the scene. Their eyes widened a swift intake of air came out. Father then grinned and made a blast that slammed right into the people and the group of soon-to-be heroes.

May's head was forced to be lifted as she looked around in the cloud of dust. "A-Al... Where is he? Where's Al!?" She asked with tears making her voice shake even more. As the May looked around the dust cleared revealing Al. He had shielded her from the blast but his arms, chest piece, and part of his legs were ashes. His blood seal was fine but a crack was dangerously close by.
