After a few hours of searching the Macallen, the was sun was close to setting. Aeryn and Josiah met up near the spot where B.T. and lastimosta got attacked. They found lastimosta's burial site that cooper made.
"Do, do you think is lastimosta" Aeryn asked looking josiah. He held hims side from when he fell out of Lin.
"It's gotta be" he said with pain in his voice. He yawned then cringed, "Goddamit, I think I might've broke a rib. Mind checking it out?"
"No problem," Aeryn said sitting him on a conveniently placed rock. Josiah took his shirt off. His highly toned abs glistening with sweat. His left side was bruised, bad, it was a dark purple almost black, and swollen a few inches more than it should be.
"Give it to me straight, How bad is it," Josiah said his arm lifted as he grimaced in pain.
"It's pretty bad. I'm not done yet, I still need to feel it," Aeryn said taking off her glove and placing her hand on the welt and he groaned. Loudly. "Sorry," Aeryn said as she put more pressure on it then sighed in relief.
"What," Josiah said when Aeryn removed her hands. Her hands were small compared to his, but they were callused just as his, if not more.
"Good news and bad news" Aeryn said replacing her glove. "First off, your ribs not broken, it's probably fractured, Your gonna need rest for a few days, if not more."
"I think I saw some bandages in the wreck, not far from here," Josiah said pointing in the direction of part of the wreck.
"You stay here, I'll be back in a few minutes, hide somewhere," Aeryn told him then stood up and looked in the direction of the wreck. "Let me know if anything happens." Josiah nodded and Aeryn set off towards the wreckage while Josiah hid under an outcropping of rocks.
After almost twenty minutes of radio silence Aeryn came on.
"Hey, I found the bandages, over," Aeryn said through the comms. It took Josiah a few moments to answer but he did. And nt with good news.
"Shh, there are multiple titans. IMC, a Tone and a Scorch. Hurry back, please" Josiah whispered back. Aeryn didn't respond, she ran to the end of the wreckage and saw the two titans Josiah spoke of.
"Fuck, I'm coming Josiah" Aeryn said almost shouting. Then she heard a familiar voice.
"Pilot, I am detecting multiple threats near your location. I am incoming." Benny said , then the crack of the atmosphere being broken. Then Benny was there behind the two titans who had spun around and trained their weapons on Benny who stood up grabbing his lead-wall shotgun.
"Benny, Protect me while I tend to Josiah" Aeryn said then ran in the direction that Josiah was.
"Understood Pilot" Benny said as he targeted the tone which was closest to him. The tone set his 40mm cannon on his back and raised his acolyte pods.
"Salvo core online" The tone said launching a salvo of rockets at Benny. Benny phased back and forth between the sides of the rockets and then finally dashed one last time and then came back into this place of existence his broadsword out and held at his side. Then something happened to the tone. His acolyte pods creaked then fell off completely cut clean through. The Tones pilot was clearly pissed.
"Benny, Open up, I'm taking over" Aeryn said jumping to Benny who opened his cockpit.
"Pilot mode engaged," Benny said then turned around. "Prepare for death" He said and dashed forward attacking the tone with a flurry of attacks. The tone had no way of attacking back as it was now on the ground. Benny changed the grip on his sword and plunged it through the titans armour and through the pilot and through the other side of the titan.
"Enemy Titan eliminated," Benny said then looked at the scorch. "Are you going to be more of a challenge," Benny said almost to enthusiastically.
