Title: The Day That Praxians Flew
Warnings for anything and everything
Disclaimers: I do not own Transformers or any songs I post in the song choice section.
Notes: This chapter is meant to be high energy. So, I do suggest listening to the song choices for this one. I also want to bring up something some of you probably already noticed. A word here or there may be misspelled. I don't catch this until after it's posted. I have a problem whenever I write or even talk when I will put words or letters backward. With typing, I accidently push the button next to the one I want, thinking its the one I want. So, thank you to you all for not bringing it up. I've also had several accidents in my life that have caused head injury. So, I have trouble keeping track of what I write in the summaries. I am trying hard to fix this issue. But I once again thank you all for not bringing up my shortcomings. Please enjoy this chapter!

Jazz's POV
Ah grin bouncing on meh pedes. Today is da first ever Autobot Air Show! Ah go outside ta help finish setting up where da humans are gonna park their vehicles and where they will be watching da show. Ah come up ta Highwind who is going over ah few final details with Prime and da XO of da Blue Angels about the schedule for da show. "Ah, this, Sir, is our...um DJ?" Highwind asks not sure on da human term. Ah nod. "Meh name is Jazz and Blaster and Ah have everything set up for da show. We got some sick beats from ACDC and Kenny Loggins ready for takeoff." Ah say and the XO nods approvingly. "Well, i have to get my team ready." The XO says and leaves ta rejoin his crew. Highwind looks at meh. "You seem a little too excited for all this, Jazz. What are you hiding?" He asks amused. Ah chuckle.
"Sorry, wind, can't tell ya. Ratchet and Prowl will have meh aft." Ah say and he nods. "Alright then. I best go prepare as well. The Blue Angels go first, then my trine will be performing some manuevers that human pilots can't perform. Last is the Aerial dog fight." Highwind says. "Dat's between ya trine and da Aerialbots right?" Ah ask and he nods. "Yes. Warpdrive has been overly excited to get to do some fighting. I managed to get him to stop pranking bots. Hopefully, everything will go as planned." Highwind says and heads to the area for his trine. Ah smile thinking about da small change ta da plan. Ah head over ta da com area where da XO will be running commentary with Skyfire and Blaster and Ah will be running da music for da whole show.
Ah smile at Blaster and he chuckles. "You are starting to scare me, Jazz. What's got ya so pumped?" Blaster asks as Eject and Rewind finish setting up our area. "Sorry, Blastman, can't say." Ah say and he nods. "You special ops mechs and your secrets." he says and chuckles. Ah grin and soon Ratchet comes over with Flatline. Flatline is carrying little Searchlight in a Cybertronian sized sling. "Hey there, Ratch, Line!" Ah say and come over ta them. "Dat is one cute kid, Flatline." Ah say and she smiles. "Thank you. I wish Percy was back and we could watch the air show together, but he's in Washington with chip." She says. Ah nod. "Ya know he'll be beating himself up missing dis." Ah say and she nods. Searchlight wakes up with a chirp and looks around curiously. Ah chuckle and let him play with meh finger.
"Jazz, it's time to start." The XO says and Ah nod. "Duty calls" Ah say and Ah take meh place beside Blaster. "That's a lot of humans, Jazz." Blaster says and Ah nod. "Air Shows are very popular with the public. The Blue Angels get a lot of their funding from the air shows we put on, but when we heard this show was for charity, we wanted in." The XO says and Ah nod. "Ah believe Ratchet popped out of da medbay long enough ta say it was for make a wish." Ah say and he nods. "It's a good cause. Kids should be allowed to be kids. But some end up fighting sickness from birth. Make-a-wish gives them something to hope for. Hope, can be as effective a medicine as the actual medicine." The XO says. Soon, da whole are meant for watching da show is covered by humans and Autobots alike. Ah smile as da XO starts ta talk, thanking everyone for their support and da Autobots for inviting The Blue Angels to da first ever, Autobot Air Show.
As da XO introduces each of da pilots, they salute and enter their jets. Each jet has it's own crew ta get da pilot prepared for take off. Ah start Thunderstruck as da Blue Angel jets start ta move. Da XO looks at meh. He's composed but his eyes are laughing. Ah smile and give him ah short salute. Da crowd cheers as da XO tells them about each manuever da group is doing. Ah watch and catch da look in Highwind's optics. They're pretty good, for humans with human limits. Highwind says over da com. Each pilot has ta have at least 1,200 hours in ah jet, and that's da lowest position. Da pack leader has ta have 3000 hours and has ta have commanded ah team before. Each team onlys serves for two earth years. so, they're constantly rotating out. I reply. He nods absentmindedly. I have been told that there has been a change to the dogfight. care to elaborate? Highwind asks. Ah can only say da ya will not only have ta fight da Aerialbots during da dogfight. Ah can't tell ya anything else, wind. Ah reply.
Soon enough, It's time for Highwind and his trine ta join da Blue Angels in da sky. Dis part was practiced at da Blue Angel base so not ta waste da human's fuel. Highwind and his trine take off running in bot form. As da Blue Angels come in low, Highwind and his trine jump onto the Blue Angel jets, careful not ta damage anything. Blaster changes da music ta Danger zone and Ah laugh ah little. Da XO goes on ta explain da complex manuever da Blue angels and Highwind's trine are about ta perform. Once high enough, Highwind, Stormbreaker, and warpdrive jump from their respective jet rides and freefall. The Blue Angel jets move ta do a crisscross manuever as they fall. Right before Highwind's trine hits da ground, they activate their thrusters, catching themselves with ease and transform into jet form. They then shoot off towards da Blue Angel Blue Angels crisscross and clear right before Highwind's trine shoots through where they crisscrossed making da crowd go crazy.
Ah hear Ratchet comment about suicidal jets making big risks and how much work he would have had if they had messed up. Ah chuckle. "Dat's what makes them da best, ratch. They know da risks, but they also know what they can handle" Ah say making him look at meh. "You say that now, but what if that was Prowl up there?" he says making meh frown. "Dat's low, ratch, even for ya." Ah say and he chuckles. Soon Da Blue Angels land giving da sky over ta Highwind's trine. Skyfire takes over for the commentary at this point. He starts by saying dat da following manuevers should never be attempted in human jets due ta the difference in technology. He then introduces da Aerialbots as they take off ta join Highwind's trine. Da Aerialbots soon level off beside Highwind and his trine and ah smile.
"They have been training a lot lately. I bet they're pumped" Blaster says and Ah nod. "Yeah, Highwind said dat they even cured Silverbolt of his fear of heights." Ah say. Da XO of da Blue Angels looks at meh confused. "A jet that's scared of heights? How did that happen?" He asks. Ah chuckle. "Da Aerialbots weren't born like little searchlight here. They were built and brought online using da Allspark on cybertron. Da jet Silverbolt was sparked from was once used ta shuttle cargo. It was ah low altitude flyer, but he can fly much higher now. But the jet he was caused him some fear." Ah say and he nods understanding. Searchlight watches da Aerialbots and Highwind's trine as they perform complicated manuevers.
"Little Searchlight here will grow inta ah big heliocopter when he gets big." Ah say. "Ratchet and I have already found the perfect alt mode for him when its time. ACH-46 Sea Knight." Flatline says making the XO whistle. "So, he's gonna be a big boy" He says and she nods. Soon, Highwind, his Trine, and da Aerialbots all land and transform into their bipedal forms. Ah smile and take over da commentary for Skyfire. "Heya, Everyone! Meh name is Jazz, and Ah will be commentating for da dogfight! First off, da Autobots are not carrying live ammo, but paintballs! This insures da safety of not only da Autobots, but da spectators! Now, each team has its own color. With da red paint, Highwind, Stormbreaker, and Warpdrive! Ah will note dat warping during da dogfight is not allowed, Warpdrive. So, play fair." Ah say as Warpdrive pouts. "With da Green paint, We have da Aerialbots" Ah say as they wave.
"And last but not least, making their return ta da sky, using blue paint, Da Praxian Trine, Prowl, Smokescreen, And Bluestreak!" Ah say making everyone gasp as Prowl walks out with his trine. Ah grin watching Prowl come ta stand next ta Highwind. Prowl, Smokescreen, and Bluestreak's Seeker wings took all week for Ratchet and Wheeljack ta replicate and install. Their seeker wings were in ah downward position reminding meh of the cape thing dat humans wear. Their doorwings are in ah similar position under ta seeker wings. "For ya dat don't know, Praxian Seekers and Vosian Seekers share ah family like connection. Praxian Seekers are triple changers by nature due ta how they delivered packages all over cybertron. upon entering ah city, Praxian Seekers change ta their ground alt modes ta avoid air collisions." Ah say.
"Praxian Seekers can top off at speeds even higher than Highwind and his Trine! Prowl, will ya and ya trine please take your air modes?" Ah say. Prowl nods and thier seeker wings come up to rest in the traditional Seeker wing position (Like how starscream's wings are) and their doorwings come out ta rest at da base of their seeker wings giving them a butterfly or fairy like appearance.
