To Tame A Predacon [Completed]

Moving to Jaws's P.O.V
Why? Because I wanna
_______________________________________

Onyx's had taken very well to combat training and now had begun begging me to take him on a mission, and since his learning English this had become much more irritating. I had come up with a response that I had hoped would buy me some time. "You can come on a mission when you learn to fly." However it only brought him asking me, "Can you show me how to fly now?" I was loosing this war. I couldn't take him asking me one more time so I had resolved that today I would teach Onyx to fly. He was definitely old enough, and he had very thick wings, an attribute it seemed he had gotten from my CNA. I sat waiting for Onyx to come up and ask me the question I dreaded each day. Oddy he never came. I stood and began to search the base for him. I found Bee, Arcee, but no Onyx and no sign of Smokescreen either. I groaned, if both of them were missing in action there was no telling what they could be up to. I began to sniff around and eventually I came across both of their scents. Bee approched me from my right, "What are ya doing?" He asked watching me sniff the floor. "Looking for Onyx," I replied not lifting my head as I slowly moved in the direction the two scents led. "Oh," He replied looking down a little, "What? Do you know where they are?" I asked picking up the pace a little. "Um... no, not for sure." He said following me, "No for sure?" I asked turning to him flicking one ear back raising an optic ridge. "Well I saw Smokescreen head up to the top of the base." he said shrugging. I froze for a moment, my ears had dropped. "You ok?" He asked concerned, I snapped to and moved Bee onto my back as I bolted. "This is not good!" I said running to the roof.

On the roof: "You sure we should be doing this?" Onyx asked standing on the very edge looking at the ground many stories down. "The way I figure, flying is in your CNA, if you jump you should be able to fly." Smokescreen replied sitting on Onyx's back. That was sound logic in Onyx's mind so he prepaired to jump. I thundered out onto the roof just as Onyx jumped. "WAIT!" I roared before leaping after him. "Fly!" Smokescreen yelled as he hung on to keep from falling off of Onyx. Onyx tired flapping his wing but it was no help he was in free fall and there was no stopping it. I brought my wing up and down at top speed, I was seconds from passing Onyx. I slowed a little and moved above him. He looked up at me panicked pleading for my help. I gained a little more speed before snatching Onyx and pulling up hard as I could. I eventually slowed us all and hovered briefly catching my breath before hauling Onyx and Smokescreen back to the roof. I dropped them before landing then facing Onyx and his rider. He knew what he did and he didn't try to hide his guilt. What he didn't know was I wasn't angry, I had learned to fly myself by leaping off a cliff. Of course it had been much higher than the top of the base. "That was quite the stunt," I said, he shut his eyes then responded, "I'm sorry I know it was stupid, but I want to fly." He pleaded. To his surprise I smiled, "You remind me of myself a little when I was your age, exsept I never apologized when I did something I probobly shouldn't have." He raised his head a little. "So..." He started, "Will you teach me to fly today?" He asked tilting his head. "Yes," I said beginning to to the edge, he immediately moved next to me preparing to jump. "What are you doing?" I asked, he titled his head confused, "You said you were teaching me to fly." I shook my head. "Not here, we have to be higher." I said before leaping up and snaging him. "Oh and Smokscreen, I have decided to spair you the lecture." I said as I flew. I heard him sigh, and I snickered.

I finally dropped him atop a mountain that I used to travel to when I just needed to be a predacon. On many of the rocks there were claw marks and worn scorch marks. Onyx clearly noticed them, "Did you come here before?" He asked. "Yah actually this was were I used to train." I said sitting allowing Bee to slide off my back. "So the first lesson you need to be on your own, so no rider." I said sitting. "Wait, rider?" Smokescreen asked in disbelief, "Yah you and Onyx seem to get along pretty well," I said shrugging. He silently celebrated. "Now Onyx come over here," I said nodding to the area next to me. He trotted up and sat ready to listen. "This is a long drop," I said refrencing to the drop, he nodded flicking his ears back then front. "So it makes it much less risky for you," I said. "The rock at the other side of the mountain has claw marks. This side has barley been scratched, is that side better for training?" He asked. "Very observant," I said nodding in approval, "I prefer that side because the drop goes much further and it leads to a gorge that I like to practice agility in but we'll get to that later." I said standing. I lept off the edge and hover a few yards from the edge. "Lets start off with gliding," I said, "spread your wings how you would if you were gliding." I said landing next to him. He spread his wings out fully, I noticed the front was tilted down. I adjusted his wings accordingly, "Don't tip your wing down unless you wanna go down." He nodded taking note. "Let's give it a try," I said leaping off and hovering waiting for him to join me. He stood looking down then shook it off and jumped. He kept his wings stiff as boards, which is good for gliding but flying... not so much. He glided slow and smooth, I kept next to him. He seemed excited and I was glad he could get off the ground but he was gonna need to try harder if he wanted to truly fly. I swong around and snagged him, I brought him back to the edge. "Was I doing good? Why did you bring me back up here?" He asked. "You were doing fine, but gliding is just a basic part of flight." I leaped off diving at high speed before spreading my wings and catching myself and rocketing back up. "See?" I said, he seemed excited, his tail wagged. "So try gliding again and we'll go from there." He nodded and lept out before spreading his wings. Once again dead stiff. "Good?" He asked, "Try flapping," I said, he seemed to be having trouble. "Jaws? Why is it so weird...?" He said continuing to flap his wings. "Because you're tence, loosen your wings. Make them softer, more flexible." I said gliding next to him. I assisted but I watched as his wings became looser and slowly he became more maneuverable. "So how to I go up? And I just heard myself that sounds so dumb." He said. I smiled, "When you bring your wings down use that to send yourself up." I said demonstrating. He tried a few times not gaining any altitude but little by little it came to him. "Yes!" I said spinning and leading him back to the edge. It seemed that Bee and Smokescreen had gotten pretty bored, they had ended up playing an earth game called tick tack toe. We both landed and they stood coming over to us. Bee climbed onto my back with slight assist from my tail. Smokescreen lept up onto Onyx's back and turned to leap up, "Wait," he turned back to me. "Flying with a bot on your back is diffrent. It's more weight than just your own and it can throw off your aerodynamics." I warned. Onyx lept and I followed, Onyx seemed to have a little trouble gaining altitude. "You have to put more force into it," I corrected, "It would be easier if Smokey would sit back." He rumbled. I looked back at Bee he nodded, "Smokescreen, your job is to make it easy for Onyx to fly with you on his back. You're sitting to far forward on his back and making it hard for him to flap his wings." Bee said. Smokescreen nodded and scooted back, instantly Onyx improved and reached the same altitude as me and Bee. "Now my favorite thing about flying," I said not able to hide the on coming smile. "The dive." I finished. "Isn't it just dropping?" Onyx asked, "Its more work than that, observe." I said. I could feel Bee shift making it much more comfortable for me to dive. I folded in my wings letting gravity so the work. My form sliced the air as we dropped. I didn't need to go to wild so I spread my wings and stopped my decent then returned next to Onyx. "We'll try the first one together." I said, "On the count of three, ok?" He nodded. "One... two... three!" We both folded in our wings and droped towards the earth.
