Ch.49
Rain sat in her office, finishing the last bits to the code, hoping to have it cracked soon. Azure was sleeping on the couch in Ed's office. 'HOLY SHIT!' Rain shouted. Azure shot up 'Eh…?' 'Rain, what's wrong?' Hawkeye asked as she entered the office. Rain slammed her fist into the desk. 'Go get Ed, Azure, and Mustang then come back here.' She ordered. Hawkeye left, stopping at Ed's office first before going to Roy's. 'Rain wants to see you both.' 'O…kay…' Azure got up and went to Rain's office. Once roy was there with Hawkeye, she had Ed close the door and she collapsed on the floor. 'Rain?' 'I cracked it.' 'Oh…what's it say?' 'I cant believe this is what Marcoh played with. The key ingredient to the stone…is humans.' Rain said, gripping on her leg. Azure just stared, shocked. 'Not only that but it would take numerous amounts of humans just to make one stone.' 'No way.' Ed said. Rain handed him her journal for him to read. Azure was silent. Rain ran out of the office and ran out of HQ, not really going anywhere. Azure went back to ed's office and laid down on the couch, thinking. It was still raining outside and rain sat in front of the clock tower, just getting soaked to the bone. Azure closed her eyes. Rain rub furiously at her eyes, trying to wipe away the rain and her tears. Azure got up and left HQ. A figure stopped in front of Rain and she looked up. Azure just wandered through the city. The figure happened to be Scar and she jumped up and jumped out of the way when he attacked her. 'Oh shit.' She said, running away. Azure was still wandering around. Rain created a wall, hoping to put distance between her and Scar but it didn't work. She ran around the city, hoping to lose him. Azure saw rain and ran over 'What's going on?' She points behind her. Azure looked and saw Scar 'oooohhhhh.' 'Where is your brother when we need him?' 'No idea.' Out of nowhere, Jason appears and rain grabs him. 'Hold still.' Rain said. Jason tried running away from rain. She transmutes his feet to the ground and waits as Scar came up then ran away. Azure also ran away. Jason was freaking the hell out. 'SORRY BUT IM USELESS IN THE RAIN.' Rain shouts and watches as Scar kills him. She runs to the nearest building and jumps up top to the roof and hides. Azure followed 'Why is Scar trying to kill you?' 'Apparently Alchemist who stray from God's path must die and I somehow strayed from God's path even though I don't believe in God.' 'Oh.' Rain jumped up when she the building beside them collapse and she jumped off the roof and began running again. Azure tried jumping but got caught on some debris and fell. Rain saw her friend fall and went to go get her. Azure was lying on her back, staring up at the sky. '…I failed.' 'Never mind that.' Rain said, picking her friend up. Azure got up, holding her arm. She began walking, holding her friend steady, until they could both run. Azure growled 'I think I broke my arm.' Rain turned and found Scar wasn't too far behind and she created a wall again. 'We have to run.' Azure nodded. They broke into a run and rain spotted HQ and rain directly there. Azure followed and entered HQ. Rain turned around, drew up a spike chain, and waited for him to get closer. Scar got closer and rain threw the spike chain and it hit him and she pulled it back. Azure went to the infirmary to get her arm fixed. 'Oh hey Azure, you seen Rain?' Havoc asked. 'Outside, fighting Scar.' Roy, who was passing by, ran to find Rain. Azure walked away and entered the infirmary. Outside, rain was hiding behind a pillar, holding her broke automail arm. She spies roy, gets up, and runs towards him. Azure left the infirmary with a cast on her left arm. Scar had vanished and roy helped rain inside. 'Rain!' Ed shouted as rain slid to the floor, still holding her broken arm. Azure ran over to her as well. Roy covered her with a towel but she didn't noticed. 'Rain…are you okay?' She still didn't answer, clutching her broken automail arm to her. 'He destroyed it.' She mumbled. Roy realized that this was the first time she ever had her automail broken. '…How did he destroy it?' 'He grabbed my arm and whatever power he has, it destroyed my arm.' '…Oh.' 'Ed, call Granny and tell her im coming home.' 'She is going to be pissed.' 'Naw, she'll understand.' As Ed walked away, she muttered 'As long as she never figures out who killed Winry.' Azure very slightly nodded in agreement with her. 'You know someone has to come with you.' 'AW MAN, YOU SERIOUS!' 'Yes.' Rain groaned. 'Are you coming with me?' 'Sorry no, I have to much work to do.' Rain groaned again. '…I'll go with her.' Rain looked up at her friend. 'What?' 'You seriously coming?' 'If you want me to.' 'Please.' Ed came back. 'Granny was laughing, saying this would be the first time she has to fix you up.' Rain grinned. 'Azure and I will leave out tomorrow' Azure nodded. 'Will you two be okay?' 'We'll be fine, sides I can use my other hand to produce flame.' Azure rolled her eyes 'Yeah, we'll be fine.' Rain grinned again. The next morning, the two were at the train station when Hughes showed up. 'Hey, I got a message from the General 'Don't die, that's the paperwork I don't need.'' Rain laughs. 'You can tell him 'You got it General.'' They boarded the train and rain stretched on the seat. Azure sat and looked out the window. 'Can't wait to see Granny again.' '…She still extremely short?' Rain snickered. 'Probably, she'll be so mad now that I've grown, haven't been home in almost 12 years.' Azure laughed. The train gets to the hometown and rain hops out of the train, shouting to Azure 'Come On.' Azure got off the train. Rain was already down the tracks, laughing. Azure rolled her eyes then ran after her friend. At the house, Granny was outside when she caught sight of Rain. 'Well, she did come.' 'Hey Granny.' Azure waved to Granny. 'My you two have grown well, especially you rain.' 'Pfft, I'm practically the same as General Bastard.' 'And your still extremely short.' Rain laughs. 'I may be short but I can kick your ass.' 'Ffffttt yeah right.' Granny turned back to rain, 'let's see that arm of yours.' Rain took off her jacket and showed her arm. 'Yep, your lucky I have a replacement mechanic.' '…Who's the replacement?' 'Rain, you moron.' Rain got hit with a wrench. 'Nice to see you to Annabel.' Rain said, rubbing her head. 'Who is she?' 'Annabel is an old friend of mine from when I was in Ishabal. Her parents were murdered so Roy and I took care of her. I sent her to live with Granny and didn't know she would be come a mechanic. Ow!' 'Oh…well…Hai Annabel.' 'Hai Azure.' She said. 'Well, let's get you two inside so we can Rain fitted.' Rain stuck out her tongue but went inside. Azure went inside. 'House hasn't change' Rain called from her room. 'It never will.' Annabel said. 'Unless the magical pixie fairies had a party in here.' Rain laughed. Azure grinned. 'You two never changed.' Granny said. 'Why would I change? I've always been a nutcase.' 'I haven't changed.' 'No, you've just grown.' Annabel said. 'Into an idiot.' Azure coughed. 'Nu, that's Jason.' 'And you' Rain grins. Azure just rolls her eyes. 'So rain, how's military life?' 'You mean with the bean?' Azure just snickered. 'It's great.' 'Got a boyfriend?' 'Maybe….' 'Yeah she does.' 'And she's engaged to the bean.' Azure grinned. 'Who are you dating?' Annabel asked. 'She's dating Mustang.' 'I thought you two were cousins?' Granny asked. 'Apparently not, he found a letter stating we're not cousins.' 'So how long have you two been together?' 'I don't know, I lost track.' Rain was sitting on the chair and the two got the arm and a new leg for rain ready. Azure sat on the couch. 'Three.' 'Two.' 'One.' Rain bit her lip as the arm and leg were attached. 'Geez, that still hurts.' 'Yet you don't complain.' 'That's cause I bite my lip.' 'Fffft wuss.' 'Why don't you have an arm and leg attached and tell me how it feels.' '…I'll shut up.' The two had gotten the arm and leg tighten and rain stood and stretched. 'It feels good, shame Ed its here for me to spar with.' Annabel stood up and shrugged off her jacket, revealing her own automail. 'Come on rain, it will be like old times.' Rain grins. 'Hey, wanna watch?' She asked Azure. Azure shrugged 'Sure why not.' Rain stood across from Annabel and they began to spar. Rain caught her friend's foot and pushed her back. Azure stood back and watched. 'Your not bad.' Rain said, panting. 'Neither are you.' Rain smirked and kicked her friend's legs out from under her and placed her foot on her chest. 'I win :3' Rain helped her friend up. 'HEY GRANNY, IM STARVING.' 'You still have a stomach?' 'Nope, lost it when I went to Lore.' Azure rolled her eyes. 'When do you guys return?' Annabel asked. 'Tomorrow, I bet that bastard has a mission for us.' Azure groaned 'If he does, im punching him in the face.' 'Oh come, they're not that bad.' 'Meh.' 'Is it really that bad?' 'Not really, I enjoy going on the missions.' 'Yes, they are bad, rain is lying.' Rain snorted. 'Name one bad mission?' 'Um…that one thing that with happened with the face.' 'You mean when we got kidnapped by the palm tree?' 'Yeah that.' She snorted again. 'That wasn't a mission. A mission would be like us going to Lore or something like that.' 'You know what, shut up.' Rain rolled her eyes. 'Anyways, the military life is great, it only sucks when her brother comes being retarded or the paperwork.' 'Her brother is in the military?' 'Well, he wont be when I get back because A) he's an idiot, B) Someone was drunk when they put him in my care.' The next morning, rain was sitting on top of the train as it took them back to central. Azure was asleep in a seat. Rain climbed back through the window and stretched on the opposite seat. The train made it to central and rain jumped out the window and grinned. Azure was still asleep. 'AZURE WE'RE IN CENTRAL.' Azure fell off the seat 'Ow.' She got off the train 'What the hell rain?' 'What, I was just waking your ass up.' 'Meh.'
