The road to Vale would've been a very, very long and arduous one. Key word, would've, Azure had just high jacked a bullhead from a landing strip, all the while running from peeved AI and soldiers. Ah, how she loved her life. With a bullhead, it would take nearly two hours to travel between Atlas and Vale, but two hours was still precious time. She had to attack as soon as possible lest she risk another transportation, maybe Peach would still be there when she arrived. Maybe, just maybe. As she reached land, Azure took a right turn skating along the coastline til she found an oddly placed white building, sticking out like a sore thumb from behind the trees. "There you are." She said before passing it, then turning around and preparing an emergency exit.
A few short moments later, Azure would be climbing down from a tree, a bit of smoke rising into the clouds a few meters ahead. She could already feel the mayhem and the power that came from it, the enhanced aura, the strength, endurance. This would be quick, though it would be quicker if she was armed. "Ah shit, forgot them in there.." She mumbled to herself. Guess it would be hand-to-hand for now. Charging into the research facility like a pissed off bull on steroids, the security forces there could only watch in horror as Azure sent a scientist through the wall, then proceeded to pick up a table and smash another over the head with it, a very loud crunch coming from where she hit. His spine shattered and the fragments of bone, due to being forced down so quickly, split skin and blood rushed out.
Using the table as a shield of sorts, Azure made her way to the security, and when they were close, she tossed the table aside and grabbed one, tearing his arm off, strands of flesh snapping off as she ripped it away, then used it as an improvised baseball bat and hit a home-run with another security officer's head. The rampage would continue for a time, though she was ultimately sent back into the cafeteria by a rather large man, clad in metal plates and clutching a large sword. "Here is where your life ends!" The man said before bringing his sword down on Azure. Sidestepping the blade, she soon found herself ducking underneath it. This was going to be a difficult one. She needed to close the gap as soon as possible though the metal sheet he wore with crude holes punched out for eye holes would make his death a relatively quick one.
Rather quickly, she made her way to the armored human, latching right onto his mask and pulling with such force that it broke the straps, dazing him for a moment before he struck again. This time, Azure didn't duck nor dodge, instead, she blocked the sword with the mask she ripped from his face, though it snapped and shattered into jagged pieces. "Just. As. Planned." She taunted the man as she was sent through a wall, dust and debris layering the black-and-white ceramic tiles underneath them. This time, the man rushed towards her, sealing his fate. Taking a sloppy swing and embedding his sword into the ground, Azure took the chance. Tossing the jagged bit of metal like a throwing knife, she used her semblance to enhance her speed and kick the flat end of the metal, sending the pointy end straight into his eye and shooting in with such force that it blew a hole through the back of his head and impaled his now severed eye against the wall. Blood oozed from his gaping wound while Azure continued on, dealing with the occasional human that came to stop her.
Arriving in the research section, the faint sound of growling could be heard in the darkness. "Bingo.." She said in a soft voice, flicking on the light. As soon as it came on, a woman who looked remarkably similar to Azure came into view, sitting behind bars with a grimm next to her and a blindfold over her eyes, her hands bound.
"Good to know you skinny worms haven't forgotten about me." The woman said while Azure approached the cage, hitting the glowing green unlock button and opening her cage. "Hm.. teasing me, are you? I won't be fooled." The grimm began growling, causing Azure to just giggle quietly.
"Is that something you say to your sister?" Azure asked, crossing her arms and looking down at Peach. "Why, I should've left you here to rot if that's how you're going to treat me."
A expression of apology soon came to Peach's face, rising up as she looked towards the origin of the voice. "Ah, Azure? Is that you?" She asked, letting out a sigh of relief. "Glad you're here, lil' sis. If you could do me a huge favor and help me and Porridge out, that'd be great. Porridge, she's nice." The grimm let out a low whine before standing up and waiting on his master to move. Azure, meanwhile, gave Peach some help, tearing off the bindings and the blindfold. "It feels so good to be able to move my hands again." She said before quickly embracing the younger of the two sisters. "Thanks, I knew you would come for me." Azure gave a nod in reply before taking her big sister's hand and leading her out to a jeep. Peach and Azure took the front seat, while Porridge took the entirety of the backseat.
"So.. what's with the grimm? I mean, I know how you got it, but what was with calling it Porridge?" Peach just laughed quietly and leaned back, brushing a hand over Porridge's head.
"Well, you see, while we were being held captive, my primary source of food was porridge. I was having some, and apparently he liked the smell. I gave him some, he liked it, boom, Porridge." She replied while Azure turned down a path and onto the main road, disposing of her goggles and balaclava, allowing her hair to fly free.
"Really? Looks like he'd be a Barnaby to me."
"Everything looks like a Barnaby to you." Peach said, punching Azure's shoulder before leaning over and laying her head on it. "Thanks for.. coming for me sis. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it."
"Well, I'm still not done with these Atlesian scumbags. My war ends with them, not with you." Azure patted her head and allowed her to rest there, going to some motel in a countryside town. It was a perfect place to wind down for the night and resume in the morning.
And that's what the two did, they unwound, caught up and joked around.. with a few naughty, taboo hints being dropped by Peach onto Azure who couldn't quite catch their meaning. Ah, the naivety..
