Sorry for the little delay but I'll do my best. Especially with school almost here.. .


"So, what'ya got to teach me today?" Andrew asked. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Khalon drop in the sky.

"Wha-?" He looked down on him and his engine had shut off. He looked scared."

"Khalon!" Andrew dived down to him.

Khalon started it up again and regained altitude. "When a plane goes down from an engine failure or fire on yer squad, ya don't go after 'em. Especially out in the middle of nowhere."

Andrew was confused. "Wait, why?"

"No point. They're goin' down like that, they couldn't stay a flight if they tried."

"But are you alright?"

"'Course I am. I was just testin' ya to see what ya knew."

"Oh." Andrew didn't really like that. He didn't like the idea of how he had to leave Khalon to die if he went down.

"So, um, what else ya got?" Andrew asked.

Khalon thought for a second."Ya know how to do basic combat? You've already witnessed aerial combat."

"I've never done basic combat."

"Well, now ya will. Let's land there." He went down towards a clearing and Andrew followed him.

He landed in the grass and Andrew followed him in.

Khalon faced him. "Right. Show me what ya got."

Andrew hesitated. "W-what do I do?"

"Fight me."

"Y-you?"

"Yeah! Pretend i'm an enemy."

Andrew didn't like this either. He didn't want to hurt him.

"Um..." He went forwards a little but stopped. Khalon was pained by this.

"Think fast!" He said as he lurched at him. Andrew ducked before Khalon could bite his nose. Khalon smiled and pushed his nose on Andrew's and once Andrew was down to the ground, Khalon jumped on him and pinned him down.

"That's basic combat." Khalon said, smiling as he got off him.

Andrew shook his nose and got up, ready for more. Khalon lurched at him but instead Andrew jumped up and pinned Khalon's nose to the ground.

Khalon smiled. "Good!" He muffled through the grass. He wasn't done yet. Khalon flipped up over Andrew and spun around, landing next to him and lifting up on his wing. Andrew gasped as his tires left the ground and the only thing touching was his other wing.

"This is where I would flip ya on yer back, but I ain't gonna do that." He carefully set Andrew back on the ground.

"Thanks.." Andrew said.

"Ya did pretty good. Pinnin' me down like that was smooth, but when ya do that, be prepared for any time yer opponent gets out from yer grasp. It'll help."

Andrew nodded. "Anything else?"

"Nah, let's do more aerial trainin'. I'll show ya how to escape enemies or missiles." He started up his engine and took off, Andrew following.


I won't be on most the day tomorrow. I'm taking my sis back to college and preparing her apartment. Leave a review?
