"He sure did, little one!" Devon told the younger flyer.
"Yeah! Though I couldn't have done it if Devon hadn't shown up." he smiled proudly at the blue flyer he thought of as his son before turning back to his beloved nephew. "So here I was roaming around when I hear this loud roar and this glider kid shows up begging us to help him..."
Artie rolled her eyes. "You were not roaming around! You were scared to death of Redback here!"
Pterano glared at her, hands on his hips and then turned back to a laughing Petrie. "I was! Oh man, I get so embarrassed just thinking about it!" That caused everyone else to laugh. "Okay, so I was scared...at first!" Pterano continued with his story.
Flashback
"Quickly, pass me that vine behind you!" Pterano shouted back. Redtooth grabbed the vine that was hanging off a tree behind him.
Pterano flew off and threw the vine towards the giant sharptooth's jaws before it could consume Luke.
Luke gazed at Pterano, who was still holding onto the vine with his strength. "Keep your dirty teeth off him, you overgrown lizards!" With that he pulled on the vine, bringing the sharptooth's closed jaws to face him. But before he could do anything, the sharptooth broke free and still headed for Luke.
Pterano landed on the sharptooth's head, pecking his eye out to earn a loud roar coming from him. With his focus now on Pterano, it shook its head, knocking him off and tossing him into the air. Pterano regained his balance, but he realized that he sharptooth had him backed up against the wall.
Pterano closed his eyes, preparing for impact when he realized it never came. For a tree sweet splashed into the sharptooth's face. Pterano looked up to thank whoever had saved him to see flyer, black on the outside, blue on the inside and no crest. "Devon..."
"Devon!" Pterano called.
"Pterano! Catch!" the blue flyer shouted as he passed the older flyer a vine. "Let's do this!"
Before Pterano could do anything, he remembered about Rinkus. He craned his head towards the pink flyer staring back at them in disbelief. "Rinkus! Run, get out of here!"
The pink flyer's shocked look turned into a confused, worried look. "We've got this! Just go and help Luke and Jared. They're gonna need you!" Pterano continued.
Rinkus just didn't know what to do. He didn't want to leave his old friend to the mean sharptooth. But he also didn't wanna leave Jared either. So he decided he should fallow Pterano's order for once and flew off.
Pterano and Devon smirked at eachother. "Let's do this!" Devon repeated as the red flyer nodded at him. Devon tossed his vine in the air. Pterano did the same. Devon's aiming for the legs and Pterano's aiming for the jaws.
The sharptooth jerked its jaw, pulling Pterano near its mouth. "Be careful, Pterano!" Devon shouted in worry.
Pterano, ignoring the blue flyer's call, used his feet to jump from the sharptooth's bottom jaw to fly to the top of its head, tying the vine around them tight.
Devon tied his vine around the sharptooth's leg as it looked down and saw him as a good meal. So it lowered its head and opened its jaws, despite the vines. Only to taste a certain pteranodon instead.
"Pterano!" Devon shouted as he tied his vines around both of the sharptooth's ankles, pulling them together so it won't go anywhere. "Let my friend go, you heartless bastard!" He pulled on the vine, causing the sharptooth to fall on its stomach, knocking it unconscious.
Devon took a couple breaths before racing up to the sharptooth's closed jaws. "Pterano?" He called worriedly. "Pterano?" Are you in there?"
He received no answer as the atmosphere remained silent around him. Assuming that the sharptooth had already swallowed his friend, tears of grief formed in his eyes. He turned around to face the setting sun, thinking his friend was in a better place now.
Until he heard a silent groan coming from behind him causing him to turn back to the unconscious sharptooth. And guess what he saw.
Its jaws opening...wide, until they revealed a certain red flyer holding them up with all of his strength. He smiled. "Pterano!"
Pterano jumped out of the sharptooth's jaws as Devon jumped into his arms right after. "Are you okay?" he asked the blue flyer, breaking their reunion hug.
"Am I okay? Am I okay? No. The question is, are you okay?"
"I'm okay. I'm okay..."Pterano groaned, holding his wing in pain. "I hope..."
"Oh my! Will you be able to fly?"
"I'll try. But probably not that far though." Pterano replied, still clutching his wings.
"Should we go tell the others we're okay?"
"Sure. Just don't fly too fast." Pterano replied, being the first to spread his wings. "I'm not as young as I used to be."
Devon smiled at the older flyer worriedly before spreading his wings. And they took off together.
End flashback
"Oh man, Petrie, you should have seen him!" Devon told the little flyer with pride. "He was FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!!"
Pterano blushed at the thought. "Oh it was nothing."
"Nuttin? Nuttin? Nuttin?!?!? Dude you friggin saved my tail back there! If it wasn't for you sacrificing yourself to save me, the friggin sharptooth woulda swallowed me whole!!!" Devon pointed out, both him and Petrie staring at the red flyer with the deepest admiration.
