Training!

[copperkitty]

WHO: Cheetor and Drift
WHERE: Vector's place atop one of the platforms
WHEN: Yesterday
WHAT: Drift is going to give Cheetor a little extra training
WARNINGS: Nuthin'

Now this was exciting! Cheetor found himself a teacher (quite unexpectedly too) and he was determined to do a good job. He even showed up at their designated spot early, just to show how eager he was to get started.

Nightmares about dying and never waking up again have haunted him for the past while, and this was what drove Cheetor to want to train harder. He had failed himself by dying, and failed Ultra Magnus by not being able to do what he said he could do. Hopefully some combat training would help him avoid that dying thing again. Cheetor did promise Kay after all.

Cheetor grinned and walked over to the edge of the platform and looked out over Cybertron. It still made him uneasy by how different it was to his Cybertron, but he decided that it was growing on him a little...

Yes. Yes he does come. And a grounder really, Drift figures, try not to give up his advantage--the ground--so easily.

Drift hooks one arm around whatever limb comes at him first, using the mech's own falling speed as momentum. He plants his own feet, attempting to swing Cheetor down, using his speed and momentum against him.

Time to see if he remembered anything Wing had taught him.

WHAM

The problem with moving as fast as he was going is that it gives Drift a lot of momentum to work with. Cheetor grunts as he's slammed into the ground with a considerable force. Instead of lying there, he pops right back up and spins around to launch himself at Drift again. This time he sticks closer to the ground and tries to sweep the other Autobot's legs out from under him.

"That's the spirit!" Drift pivots as Cheetor flips up, keeping his guard up. Speed was definitely this one's strong suit. The down side of that was that he telegraphed everything: Drift can see the swipe at his legs coming from miles away.

"Good thought," Drift said, managing--barely--to leap out of the way. "We need to harness that speed, though."
