Yeah that was a seriously packed chapter, which is awesomely exciting except for the fact that The Day drawing near means THE END drawing near! Noo!
It's terrible that Al's being controlled, and Pride evidently is doing something to the blood seal, which is dangerous! But Al, of all people, does not deserve this :o

We all know it takes much more (and way more impressive drawings!) to kill a homunculus, I can only assume Bradley sees some advantage in being gone for a while. Hmm...
Greed cracks me up (and damn him, I find myself mentally wanting to refer to him as Greed-sama just because he does :P), I hope he gets some input. I guess Ling will still have a part to play so Greed must too. Hohenheim is a lovely guy, considering, but I can't wait to see him kick ass in whatever way he does such a thing.
