Al then brings up the subject that his memories of the Gate have returned. Once Ed brings up the subject of the Ouroboros tattoo that he saw on Greed's left hand which he mentioned earlier to Maes Hughes, an emotionally depressed Armstrong urges him not to be reckless before leaving.

Martel takes control of Al's armored body and tries to strangle Bradley, but Bradley stabs his sword at the right angle into Al's armor which kills her. Bradley then heads towards Al and Martel. Greed intervenes stating that while they were his men, they were also his possessions which he cannot abandon and fights Bradley again, only to get pinned down with four swords around his chest. However, as Al has to prevent an angry Martel from leaving his armor, they watch as Bradley slices both Roa and Dolcetto into pieces with his swords. Roa and Dolcetto arrive intending to sacrifice themselves so Al can get Martel out of there. Greed falls to the ground, heavily bleeding and as the Führer continues to kill him until the power of his Philosopher's Stone is almost exhausted, Greed slowly walks to where Al and Martel are before he is pinned down. Bradley reveals himself as a Homunculus, with his Ouroboros tattoo on his left eye. The battle between the Führer and Greed ends as Bradley's eyepatch falls off and he stabs Greed through the neck with both swords, revealing that while Greed may have the Ultimate Shield, he has the Ultimate Eye which allowed him to survive and prevail on the battlefield.

The battle continues on as Greed can barely dodge Bradley's swords. This surprises Greed who demands to know who the Führer really is. After learning from Al this man is Führer Bradley, Bradley talks it out about their difference in age, and when Greed attempts to activate his Ultimate Shield, Bradley cuts off his right hand. As Martel tries to keep Al's movements constrained, Greed arrives mentioning they need to find a way to flee, which Bradley arrives and states he won't let that happen. As he is facing Ed and Izumi, Greed decides to run, with Izumi in no shape to purse him due to her condition, just as some soldiers arrive.

As he is traveling with Roa and the captured Alphonse Elric, Dolcetto can smell that something is up, which is actually the Führer, Major Armstrong, and a military escort arriving to inspect the Devil's Nest. At Central Command, as the soldiers are gossiping about his rise to power, Mustang attempts to visit the Führer, only to learn from his secretary that King Bradley has traveled south to conduct an inspection.
