Being that we took time after the fight, it was to be expected. They were both pretty banged up. Gamma came up to me and hugged tightly. Alpha did the same thing to his Epsilon. He and I made eye contact before the mutual dislike caused us both to gag. We then focused on our respective series mates. Gamma was all too happy to tell me about the fight they had. Gamma and Epsilon were in much the same situation that we were in. They both had to fight the aeromorph that was guarding the large city of Sufahan. Gamma took out the ground forces and ran interference during the dogfight. It was not a flawless victory, and they were beaten up quite a bit by their opponent. I was happy to hear they teamed up and killed the fighter jet together. Gamma was giving me an animated rundown when we heard a loud bang at the mouth of the cave. We ran outside to see who it was. Crashed in a small crater was P01 Delta. She was torn up and barely holding onto to life. There were holes all over her body and an arm and part of right wing were gone. All the front of the body was singed.
As we turned her on her back, it looked like the entire front was caved in and cracked. Gamma and I were trying to get her to respond. All she could do was moan out in pain and groan. "This is bad!" Gamma said, turning to me with a frantic look on his face. I looked at him and nodded. I had no clue how to fix this. We had no mechanics or engineers here. That was when Gamma shimmied out of his jockstrap. I watched him as he reached down and urgently stroked his DDM. It quickly rose to full mast. "I hope this works!" he muttered. He then proceeded to douse her entire body in gray nanite paste. The nanites seemed to know what to do. They covered her body like a second skin and we could hear, rather than see her be rebuilt. Warping and bending took place as the biometal returned to its intended place. Missing pieces were just reformed from the paste. Gamma panted, still blowing his massive load until his knees gave out. If that was enough to fix her, I was going to have to step in. I was also a healthy aeromorph that was part of her series. My nanites would have the same effect.
Doing enough for her to be able to fix herself was good too. When the nanites turned into the missing half of the wing and her arm and totally disappeared, I thought that it was my turn. Instead, more gray paste flowed from her breasts. That seemed to be enough to get her through it. She was good as new. She looked at us in surprised as if she had only now noticed us and said "Alpha! Gamma! You guys are hurt too!" She was concerned and slapped some of her paste on us as well. It topped off our health bars. Our armored hulls were spotless now as well. I asked Delta what the hell happened out there. She looked sad. "We were in Taimi. The aeromorph there was a strong female fighter jet. We were fighting her and all the humans below got into a battle in the streets. The Lunusaris and the atheists were killing each other. A new third faction appeared. They shot my engines and nearly grounded me. I then had to go down and fight them. I had experience doing that on base." Delta started before looking down at the ground. Something bad was coming. She then looked at us again.
Calling her out, Alpha demanded to know where the other Delta was. "When I was done on the ground, I got back into the air. P02 Delta was winning the fight. We were supposed to be the ones victorious. The fighter jet then made a final charge at us. It caught us off guard and she pinned us both against a building. She said 'If I'm going down here, I'm taking you 2 with me!' She self destructed right on top of us. P02 Delta was on top of me so she too most of the blast." I was stunned. I did not know that some of them would go that far. "There were combatants of all factions running to the blast! I would have died if I stayed there. P02 Delta was already dead. I barely got away as it was!" she finished. I brought her closer in a hug. "That's alright. You 2 got the mission done. I'm glad you came back." I said to her. She just stood limp in my arms. Gamma hugged her from the other side. "We're all here for you." he said. P02 Alpha and Epsilon were upset. They had lost a series mate. Alpha was so angry that he shot at the adjacent mountain with his guns while yelling. Epsilon just glared at us.
