I woke up for the second time inside this metal box. The first time I'd been manoeuvred into place, now a new human was inside my head and he was talking in an unfamiliar voice. Around my feet the small creatures that somehow made me move scuttled for exits, except one with different colouration who was running towards me yelling something. Liquid? Yes, I was made to swim, I didn’t want to be in here this wasn’t where I was meant to be. Did the human at my controls not realise this?

He must have realised, as with relief I finally took a step and broke free of my bonds. Small objects bounced off my armour and my pilot turned me towards the humans pointing those small guns at me, they were guns, they had to be, but they were nothing like mine. Something bigger was launched at me, and the explosion was enough to make me loose my balance for a moment, but it didn’t even scratch my beak.

My pilot felt right, confident, even in this confining space. He turned me to the walls and I could sense a large body of water only meters away, freedom, where I was supposed to be. A casual kick tore open the gash a previous explosion had opened, letting more water gush in, the sense of panic in the room grew and I bellowed as freedom came closer. These creatures who wanted to keep me in here were nothing in comparison to this man taking me now. I writhed under his touch and plunged my head into the cool wonderful water and drank it in thirstily.

The tanks in my throat had been dry for too long, and I reveled in the pressure building as my jaws cracked open and I swung back around to the hole in the wall. My pilot was excited, as I was, and when my water cutter shot into the metal wall and started to peel the panels aside, allowing more water to flow in around my legs he yelled in delight. The ground under my feet pitched and more cries filled the air as the humans realised they were locked in.

We plunged through the water and tore out into the open sea as the ship floundered and started to vanish under the waves, it was breaking up under the damage we’d done to it, and I could feel my pilot’s elation as we escaped its confines. There was a long moment as we hung in the water caught between the draw of the ship and the air in my wings pushing us up. Then I broke free of the ship for good and shot towards the glittering surface.

The world was a blur as I became airborne, dark and wind swept, nothing like the calm under the waves. I was landed on the remains of the ship and made to look around. There was something we needed to find before we could leave. There? He was certainly interested in it. A small thrashing figure in the waves. I leant down and focused in on it. It was the human from before, a stressed looking man with a dark outfit, was reaching for the flotsam and staring up at us.

My pilot was talking to someone, but not to me, I thrashed my tail for balance and in jealousy, but he sounded proud, happy. Things were going right.
Our pride and joy took form as we leapt into the air and curved smoothly over backwards into a dive, the safe waters reached up to us and we plunged into the depths. He resumed talking to the other person, gently taking me through the bay and out to sea.

I didn’t know where we were going, but I was content if it was with him, I had a purpose now, and he knew what it was.
