Edward and Alphonse battle Pride, as May takes on the Homunculus Father herself. Above ground, the Ishvalans lay alkahestry transmutation circles throughout Amestris. In his continuing fight against Wrath, Scar uses a reconstruction transmutation circle from his brother's research which is now tattooed on his other arm. Edward's group starts to gain the upper hand against Father, but despite the arrival of Greed, Father grabs the four sacrifices and Hohenheim to create his transmutation circle as the solar eclipse reaches its zenith. The transmutation absorbs all the souls in Amestris and gives Father enough power to open a gateway from earth, allowing him to unlock the entrance to Heaven and absorb the Being within, the Eye of God.
