Testing Emotions

Nobility is Cliché

Title says it all, enjoy this chapter, unless you cry, then I guess you won't enjoy it. Unless you're tough, but that still ruins it xD

Aleida was struggling to find cover, as her wounds were slowing her down. Her left knee joint had been dislocated and sparked painfully everytime she attempted to put pressure on it, and the deep gash that bled horrendously on her side  was causing her to lose concious, slowly and painfully. She was leaking too much oil, and in this situation, she probably won't last much longer.

"Boss... where are you...?" She groaned, leaning against a bauilding in the rubble.

"Aleida! Get back to HQ! They'll have you fixed in no time!" Yuuta ordered.

"How can.... how can i get back... without flight?" Aleida's voice got softer with each word. Yuuta started to get restless, trying to think of a way to keep her wounds from getting worse.

The beast's tail suddenly lashed out to hit the building above her, making it begin to crumble. She was too low on energy to even scream, so she instead just let it happen. A voice let out a battle cry as she was suddenly swiped out from the falling debris, being held close to Duke's chest.

"Duke...!" She murmured, her head lolling back and forth to finally rest on Duke's armor.

He just looked down at her, noticing the dimming in her eyes.  "Does Aleida have a docking sequence?" His tone was clearly panicked, tryingto stop the oil flow.

"Oh yeah!" Yuuta dramatically pulled out an SD chip with codes on it, and sliped it into the badge's port, letting it scan for a few seconds. "Duke! Give her some oil!"

"How?!" He exclaimed, applying more pressure to her side.

"Channel it into her! You have a cord that acts like a gas pump on your side!"

"I do...?" Duke quickly felt his left side for something, then heard a small sound, as if a latch had opened and immediatly felt around the area. He managed to oull out a small black cord from his side, and studied it for a moment.

"Now plug it into her side!" Yuuta shouted, as if they were losing her for good.

Doing as told, Duke found a small port latch on her side and opened it, instantly putting the cord in. It clicked and he knew it was safe to let go as he spared oil for his team mate. Slowly, her eyes would come back to life as she heard Duke's voice calling her amidst the chaos.

"Duke!" She gasped, feeling her knee spark again. She gripped his chest as he dipped down to set her on the ground.

"Can you hold yourself up?" He asked, readying himself to disconnect the tube.

"I think so." She nodded, trying to keep pressure off her right. The bot felt the tube on her side and looked at it, "Duke... you're giving me oil...?"

"I kind of had to." He stated, stopping the flow and taking the cord back. "Hurry, before you leak to much oil again."

"That's the DukeI was told about." Aleida smiled softly then limped towards Yuuta, "Boss!"

The boy nodded and held out his badge, "BRAVE UP, FIGHTER-A!"

A large aircraft hovered over them as aleida built up the energy to jump high enough to dock. She changed into her helicopter and struggled not to flaunt as she connected to the body. The larger wings were on her back as a single jet thruster was inbetween them, her orsnge hair swirled in the dramatic wind like fire as she flexed her new, undamaged body. Her eyes were a brighter, almost white hue of blue as her weapons, flamethrowers, popped out of her forearms with a few spurts of flame.
