Episode Fifteen: Ishvar Massacre - A showdown between Scar and Armstrong...quite a dangerous (and pretty) matchup. Ed, Al, and Dr. Marco are trying to get as far as they can from the battlefield, when Marco says he does not want to run anymore because he deserves to die. Marco tells them the tale of the Ishvar war, stating that it was not a war, but a massacre. The Ishvarians had not believed in Alchemy nor the power of science and mathematics, and that belief led the rest of the world to suspicion. During an inpsection, a little girl was accidentaly shot, and riots and rebellions broke out. The army finally decided to use its Alchemists to end the war, and the red water that Marco had been researching was to be used as an amplification device. The alchemists completely destroyed Ishvar and ruthlessly killed many of its citizens. So Doctor Marco, completely horrified by the destruction that he helped cause, fled the army and became branded as a traitor. During the story, Scar is still running rampant in the city, and he stumbles upon the fleeing Marco and Elric brothers. However, Scar isn't fooled by Al's outward appearance this time, and he shatters the suit of armor...
