Summary: An infant Homunculus under the command of an idiot ruler: this can't end well. Two and a half years after the Promised Day, the struggle for Amestris goes on. The military's old guard have seized power from Roy's band of reformers, aided by a horrifically dangerous experiment: they've been growing their own Homunculus. Now, separated to the four corners of the map, Team Mustang fight to evade their enemies and reach safety, to retreat and rally their forces. Roy Mustang fights his way towards the safe territory of Briggs, where he hopes to be reunited with Hawkeye and his team; Havoc and Rebecca try to forge dubious alliances in Aerugo; Ed and Al, separated, seek help from Xing. And all of them must prepare for - well, the second-biggest battle they've ever faced.
