Author's Note: Hiya there! I've done some thinking, and I've got to say that with all the adventures Envy's going to have with the Doctor and Elisa, we won't be seeing much of Envy's new buddies back on New Gallifray. That much being said, I've decided to include "Bonus Chapters" at the end of every adventure, so we can make sure our little anti-hero is doing alright. I should also note that these bonus chapters are not going to be in order to the rest of the story.

Bonus Chapter: … Good Intentions…?

Envy launched himself up into the air, all four front limbs lunging at the solid image of a Stingray. He caught the trailing edge of one wing in one paw, the tail in the other. He scratched for a foothold with the other pair. The Stingray couldn't hold onto the altitude, and Envy tried to claw its underside with his hind feet; one of the second pair of his hind legs got caught in the Stingray's maw, and it immediately took to trying to eat him.

Ineffectively, Envy tried to gouge away at the Stingray's neck with his last clawed foot, but the stalwart flight collided with the solidity of the earth. It gave Envy a shock, he was sent tumbling and blood-rushed with the Stingray into the ground. The earth clobbered his head hard, sudden and leaden, and he lost his grip with the Stingray. A shocked gasp escaped Envy as he felt the vertebrae of his neck crunch together, and he crumpled in a hideous mass. Skull thundering, Envy's entire frame gave a violent shake before he lay still. He wanted to stay like that for a while.

"See what I mean?" the gruff voice said. Envy heard the Viewer's heavy footfalls coming to stand before his left eye, but the world was still churning, and Envy did not want to see it.

"Ugh," Envy let out an ill moan.

The Viewer snorted in disgust. "Quit acting so petty. Look at me." Envy barely peeled his eye open, three of the eye's seven pupils peeking out. The Viewer's hands thrust into his coat pockets, he was staring Envy down. Envy sighed and started to right himself. "Your true form may look more scary with eight legs, but that's all they do." He spat. "Your 'Father' must have been drunk-pissed off his ass to make you like that." Envy said nothing, but rearranged his hind legs beneath him, but spread his front legs out for balance- it was a really hard landing. He bent his head low to the ground, continuing to listen to the other Time Lord's spiel, but also to lose the light headedness. "Your extra legs only get in the way- they're not designed to move like a bug's."

"I'm at my strongest when I'm in this form," Envy feebly explained, knowing what would come next.

"What good is it if doesn't connect?" the Viewer countered. "You're wasting power if you can't focus it."

Envy licked his lips, and after a second tried to reiterate the Viewer's point. "So I'd fight better with a 'smarter' design even if it doesn't match my true form's raw power."

The Viewer grunted in approval. "Let's try this again." He strode to a spot twenty feet* away and recreated his Stingray hologram.

Envy crackled and took the form of a leopard, whose shoulder stood even with an elephant's. As the Stingray soared towards him, Envy circled around, picked up into a jog then into full sprint as the hologram flew past. Envy's haunches coiled and released as he sprung atop the Stingray. It felt better- much more natural- to leap powered by two hind legs that are stationed beneath him instead of four splayed off to the side.

Not that it changed the ultimate outcome much: his massive weight still dragged the Stingray to the earth. The drawn out collision threw Envy off the hologram, tumbling and rolling. He shook the shock off, only to find the Stingray charging.

"NO FAIR!" Envy screamed, and turned to evade those gaping jaws. The Stingray sunk its teeth into Envy's flank, and torn out a good chunk. Envy took off in another direction, his monstrous cat-form no more effective than his true one. The Stingray could attack from any direction. 'I've gotta get away…" He located the hologram, going into another threatening dive. 'Ah… now I've got it," Envy began to sprint away, the Stingray came in. Envy's body crackled. As the Stingray opened its mouth, Envy pushed the size of his body to even greater than that of his true form.

He spread his arms out wide, and ignored the stretching sensation of rachis breaching his skin, the vanes filling out; he could already feel the feathers catch the wind. His body left the ground and he completed his transformation. His arms now wings, he gave a good few powerful beats and pulled up and out of the path of the hologram. He climbed in the air, a golden eagle the size of a whale.

Wheeling above the earth, Envy wondered why he never tried this before. Staying confined to the ground for so long, the depraved shape-shifter could have been freer than any of his siblings, if only he had dared to think it. But he thought it now, and cried in laughter. He saw his shadow trailing him on the ground, but he was free of it. Envy remembered how Humans would watch birds fly, and wish the same for themselves. Hell, if Fullmetal could see him now, he'd eat his "you're just jealous of Humans" shit. Envy caught the sight of the Stingray, which was circling up to him.

Envy found himself in an updraft, and he soared higher, until the Stingray flew into the same current and began to climb. Envy climbed up and turned out of the draft, watching the hologram. Envy tipped in the air and pulled his wigs in. He plummeted. The screaming wind tore tears from his eyes, but he didn't care. The Stingray took up more and more of Envy's field of vision, and drew his wings out again as he extended his feet.

SN-NATCH-CH!

The Stingray flashed out of sight, and in his talons he had the Viewer snared. One talon had pierced the Viewer's side, and Envy hoped that the Viewer wouldn't hold it against him. Envy swept to the ground, back-winged in a momentary hover before landing and releasing the Homunculus from his grip.

The Viewer straightened up, and paced past Envy. "That's enough for today," was all he said.

"Oh, um- look, Viewer?" Envy said warily as he took to his human form again, "I never intended on killing you up there."

The Viewer stopped dead, turned and backhanded Envy with a powerful fist, which knocked the young Time Lord to the ground. " 'Never intended!' " he planted his heavily booted foot on Envy's sternum. "I'm not teaching you how to fight so you don't hurt people. I was the one attacking-" he stamped, causing Envy to gasp for air, "-not a Stingray. That was just an image. And further-" he ground down as Envy tried to pry his foot away, "- what was with that dawdling while you were flying! If I wasn't being so nice-" -crack- "- I'd've shot right up there and ripped your head off. So no daydreaming." Grind- grind. "Got it?"

"Got, it," Envy gulped in air and nodded. The Viewer glared down at him before nodding curtly, and stormed away, pushing off with the foot Envy was trapped under. Envy rolled to his side and massaged his aching chest. He coughed hoarsely. When the Viewer offered (decided) decided to give Envy combat lessons, Envy thought that maybe the Viewer wasn't as pissed at him as he first thought. But maybe that wasn't the case.

*That's a little over 6m
