Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos Page #3

---

So I figured they might've been here.

Ed doesn't have many friends, after all.

I'm not his friend.

Plus, he's doing extremely well right now.

Huh? No way...

Colonel.

Winry!

Sorry for bothering you, Riza.

What is it, First Lieutenant?

The train from Central sustained

serious damage at the Table City station.

That fool!

What did Ed do?

Colonel, bad news.

Cleta is officially requesting for us to hand over a criminal.

A criminal?

Apparently, there's an individual wanted in Cleta among the people we arrested in Table City.

Do you have a name?

Julia Crichton.

A 16-year-old girl.

So your hideout is in the caves.

Sorry, I know you were trying to save me.

It's fine.

Anyway, I'm glad you're reunited with your brother.

Hey, Julia.

Why does Miranda want to keep this monster here?

Don't say that, Tony.

Don't take his rudeness to heart.

They don't understand the realm of God very well yet.

Don't worry. I'm used to it.

Um... Mr. Al?

I'm Alphonse. Alphonse Elric.

Elric?

The Elric Brothers of Amestris?

You've heard of us?

It didn't take long to come across the name when I was learning about Alchemy.

I see.

Mr. Alphonse, did you really violate the taboo of human transmutation?

Why would you want to know that?

Mom and Dad used to research Alchemy according to the legends.

They say he who opens the Gate and understands Truth will be able to control the power of the land at will.

According to the Legend of Milos, so they say.

Legend of Milos?

Under the ground, there exists a flow of power known as Magma.

Its energy can be absorbed and transformed into great power.

That is the Legend of Milos.

Please tell me!

If you really did violate the taboo of human

transmutation, you must've seen the Gate of Truth.

We simply wanted to see our dead mother again.

Don't do it, Julia.

You will pay dearly for violating the taboo.

Just like us.

We need great power to revive our nation!

Thank you for telling me all this, Mr. Alphonse.

I'll work to get you out of here soon, so wait just a little longer.

This place really stinks.

Hey now, are we seriously dumping

our trash into a neighboring country?

I am Miranda.

Julia has told me about you.

I didn't think we'd meet alive.

Your Alchemy is quite powerful.

The name of Black Bats suits you well.

The lot of you only know how to blindly wander around

the area between the great nations of Cleta and Amestris.

What'd you say?!

Alan.

Indeed, we are bats that cannot survive outside of these caves.

That is exactly why we need great power.

We'd like your help in order to reach the Sacred Land...

He told me everything I needed.

Please set him free.

How'd it go?

It's as you had said.

They only attempted human transmutation

because they wanted to see their dead mother.

Looks like Professor Crichton was right.

The Gate of Truth really does exist.

But he also lost his body because of that.

Looks like opening the Gate of Truth really is quite dangerous.

But we'll be closer to obtaining great power.

How foolish of them to delve into the realm of God.

Why would you say that?!

If I knew how, I'd also want to bring Mom and Dad back-

Julia!

You saw him.

Do you really want to end up like him?

I just want Milos to become a peaceful country again.

Come on, please help us!

Have you forgotten how the people at the valley bottom despised us and called us traitors?

It's because of them that we risked our lives to move to Cleta!

I know that.

But why?

If Cleta really did take us in, why did Mom and Dad have to die?

Mom and Dad were murdered by wolf-chimaeras.

They were sent by the Cletan military.

By the time I got there, the wolf-chimaeras had already murdered my parents.

They were turning the lab inside out, searching for something.

They were looking for the book in my hand.

The research paper our parents wrote!

I picked Julia up and ran for our lives.

But the wolf-chimaeras chased us, following our scent.

I realized we couldn't escape, so I put Julia

down by a tree and headed towards the cliff.

I was then surrounded by the Cletan army and fell into the valley depths.

Miraculously, I survived and secretly crossed the border into Amestris.

But they continued to hunt me.

After memorizing all of my parents' research, I committed a crime.

That was because I figured I could hide from them if I managed to get into Amestris' giant prison.

I see...

Then, just when I had thought of rescuing you,

I learned that you had traveled illegally to Amestris instead of staying in Cleta.

I didn't think you'd be used by the people at the valley bottom!

That's not true!

After that, I was caught by the Cletan army.

The military kept interrogating me.

When they realized that I knew nothing,

they threw me straight into the valley depths.

I narrowly survived because the people in the valley saved me.

And now, I work with them because our ideals are one and the same.

Weren't you also in this valley when you were younger-

I don't want to bring up the past.

Do you all seek the Alchemy of the Sacred Land, too?

Alchemy is but a means to the end.

We have but one goal:

The independence of Milos.

In terms of numbers and strength, we are absolutely no match for Cleta or Amestris.

There are only two paths we can take.

We can either violate the taboo of human

transmutation and open the Gate of Truth,

or we can retrieve the Alchemy of the Sacred Land.

Either way, we'll obtain the power to control Magma, the great power hidden beneath the ground.

We need a trump card.

What did the professor find out?

Cleta wants this secret as well.

They're definitely setting something up.

Agh...

Urgh...

Yo, did a huge piece of armor fall down here?

What the heck?

Bastard, are you leaving me down here?

Too bad, then.

Al!

Hey, where are you?!

I hope he wasn't scrapped.

I'm sure there's more of you hidden here.

Take me to your leader!

The escaped convict is in the valley?

Yes, he fell down with the girl.

Are you sure that was Julia Crichton?

She looked just like the girl in the photo.

This is bad.

Do you really think Cleta will believe us?

But it's the truth.

What's the fullmetal boy doing?

He went down to the bottom of Cleta Valley.

He said something about saving his little brother.

This is ridiculous!

How dare he...

Something happened to Ed and Al, right?

Riza, where is Table City?

Kudos for being able to live at the bottom of this valley.

Are you with the armored guy?

Yeah.

You're a dog of Amestris?

There's an explanation for this.

We'll definitely take back our Sacred Land.

By "Sacred Land", do you mean Table City?

It's called the Milos Plateau!

Including Mt. Polos of Cleta, this land was

where the people of Milos lived 3,000 years ago.

Why did you lose your Sacred Land?

You don't know?

Cleta took over Milos by force.

You Amestrians then approached us, saying you'd send reinforcements.

The moment we let your army in, the valley became a battlefield and our sacred plateau was taken from us.
