43 Chapter 41 - The End 1

In the dark chamber, the five human sacrifices woke up one by one.

"What just happened?" asked Alphonse.

"Good job, my dear sacrifices," said Father.

Hohenheim looked to see Father in a younger form.

"So you actually did it!" Hohenheim said.

"Yes, I've obtained God," said Father.

Edward said, "'God' you say!? Cut your bullshit-"

"It's possible as long as you have a tremendous amount of energy. Remember? Almost anything is possible with Alchemy and enough energy," I interrupted.

"Energy? A philosopher stone!" shouted Edward.

"You're joking? You mean everyone has already be turned into a philosopher stone!?" said Alphonse.

"Just how many lives were lost?" asked May Chan.

I explained, "There are around 50 million people in Amestris."

"Bastard!" said Edward, clasping his hands for a transmutation.

Father tapped his finger on his throne, sending a blast of wind everywhere. At the same time, Amestrian alchemy which derived from energy from tectonic plates didn't work.

"Shit!-" yelled Edward.

"I've sealed off Alchemy. Farewell my friends!" said Father, making a ball of fire on his hands.

"That's!-" said Hohenheim.

"Now that I've devoured God, it's not impossible for me to create a sun in the palm of my hands. Should I let loose right here and now?" said Father, until he felt something weird with the souls inside his body.

"The counter-attack has begun from the moment you were in possession of God," said Hohenheim strictly.

"For this day and for this day only, I had positioned my friends, my philosopher stones, all across the nation, over a long period of time and with many calculations," said Hohenheim.

"All you did was implant philosopher stones, but those are just points. Without a circle, there is no alchemy, that's the basic principle of alchemy," retorted Father.

"But there is a circle! A huge powerful circle that would activate by itself even if something were to happen to me! The shadow of the moon that occurs from the solar eclipse!" yelled Hohenheim.

"You just continue to get in my way, don't you, Hohenheim!" yelled Father, clutching his chest as the souls inside were in turmoil.

"That's precisely what I came here to do, Dwarf in the Flask, Homunculus!" yelled Hohenheim back.

The transmutation circle Hohenheim implanted activated, sending red light everywhere and making all the souls of the Xerxians be used up to return the souls of Amestrians back to their bodies. During the entire process, Father vomited out all the 50 miillion Amestrians back out.

"Did that work?" asked Edward.

"The souls of the people of Amestris were returned to their respective bodies, he shouldn't be able to restrain this being he calls God with only the souls of the people of Xerxes," said Hohenheim.

Father finishing his vomiting, looked back up, saying he could regain back all the philosopher stones. Being mad, he sent an energy blast to all of us.

"Not so fast, Dwarf in the Flask!" I said.

Clasping my hands, I put my hands in front of me to grab the energy blast, absorbing it inside of me.

"Seeing the inside of my gate of truth, I realized some interesting things. I got you countered perfectly, Homunculus!" I said.

"Kyofu! You don't want to fight me again! Last time we were balanced out, but this time I have the power of God!" yelled Father.

Father again sent another blast of energy at us, but I defended everyone behind me with my hands.

"We'll be safe for now! For now, try to start the Reverse Alkahestric Reverse! The thing I gave to you guys!" I asked.

"We're on it!" said Alphonse.

May used Alkahestry to summon pillars to raise Alphonse, Izumi, and herself up while Hohenheim, Edward, and I stayed down.

"Edward! I know you studied my research notes! Can you use any Alkahestry?" I asked.

"I can! I just need time to create the circle!" he responded.

"Do it quickly! We don't have enough time to deal with this," I said.

"Hohenheim! Defend against this for a second!" I yelled.

"I got your back!" he said.

Taking out my old throwing weapons, I clasp my hands and compressed them, throwing these at Father. Father in response, stops sending the energy blast and forms an energy shield, showing some cracks.

"God damn it..." I said, clasping my hands again.

This time, I sent a wave of sound and wind at Father.

"Your energy shield can't defend against this! You somehow registered to my voice and your body needs oxygen to breathe! Filter this you piece of shit!" I cursed.

The attack bypassed his shield and hit his body, sending him off the throne. Pride, in shock, decided to waste some time by attacking me with his shadows.

"You sure kid? Unyou - Quasar!" I yelled.

I blinded and disintegrated his shadows, sending him unconscious.

"That hurt my eyes geezer!" yelled Edward in the back.

I didn't have much energy left. The reason I jumped high in the sky was to collect energy from the sun, but I wouldn't have enough energy left if I kept on doing these powerful attacks. Using my gun, I put in some essence of All the World's Evil into a bullet and pulled the trigger. The bullet was shot and it went through his shield, into his body.

"What is this? This energy is something I've never seen before!" said Father, unable to contain the evil breaking out.

"If you don't know it, you can't filter it," I said.

"Uncle! That's so cool!" said Edward.

"I'll teach you later. For now help me out!" I said.

"Um!" said Edward.

We both went against Father, who could only defend against with his shield with our bodies.

*****

On the top, Alphonse, May, and Izumi helped out Scar defeat King Bradley - Wrath.

"Scar! Activate the Reverse Nationwide Transmutation Circle!" asked Alphonse.

Making a new transmutation circle through the help of all three alchemist, Scar used both of his alchemic tattoos to bring back alchemy to the land.

*****

"It's there!" shouted Hohenheim.

"Thanks!" responded both me and Edward, clasping our hands to attack Father.

Edward created cannons sending out bombardments while I created seismic waves to Father.

"You guys should stop. Thanks to Kyofu's help, I changed my barrier's filter system," said Father happily.

From the huge hole in the roof, everyone dropped back down.

"You might think you're invincible Homunculus, but once you use up all your stones, God's gonna go!" said Hohenheim.

"Everyone! Attack him with everything you got!" said Edward.

Everyone in the room used everything they got. Edward made more cannons, Alphonse made weapons to throw, and Izumi made a huge tube move while Hohenheim and May defended against his attacks.

One of Edward's cannon misdirected by hitting Father's shield and hit a chain, opening up the boiling lava container.

I sensed Greed coming down and he smashed at Father using a metal bar. It didn't work so he jumped away and Edward covered his back by covering Father with lava.

Father came out unscathed, and felt his God trying to escape. Pressured, he stood on a rock and sent himself up using lava as a pillar.

"Everyone! Let's go back up!" I yelled.

Everyone nodded, confirming my decision as I made the the floor rise up, holding everyone. While going up, we saw the chimeras, Hawkeye, Mustang, Olivier, Armstrong, and the Briggs soldiers.

"Everyone who isn't injured hop on!" I demanded.

Hawkeye and Mustang both went up with us since in this timeline, they weren't injured or hurt and only the chimeras and some soldiers stayed down.

Bringing everyone up, we saw Father around some fallen soldiers.

"Bastard! Give them back their souls!" yelled Edward.

"No can do..." said Father, using his fingers to collect even more souls from the Briggs' soldiers.

"TEME!" yelled Hohenheim, sending a metal arrowhead to Father, who blocked it.

"That's as far as you're going to get, Homunculus!" said Hohenheim.
