Chapter 1
"The Needle"
It was a nice morning in the dinotrux crater, and the team went out for a weekly supply run. During their run, they saw a wonderful pile of scrapped over on a pillar that is isolated (just like the one the trucks got stuck on during season 2 episode 8, "gluphosaurs,") all connected together to form a shape sort of like a rectangular prism with a square baser triangle on the end, to form a very large needle shape, almost the size of Dozer.
"It looks like there is a good pile of scrap over there," Ty noticed, "Do you think you can hook it over, Skya?"
"Seriously? I always love a good challenge," replied Skya, beginning to fling her hook over the ledge to catch the needle.
"I would advise caution," said Revvit, "the scrap is connected together in a geometrical shape, which shows signs of it belonging to someone, whom we would not want to anger." The trucks barely even heard or considered what Revit said as they continued to retrieve the scrap needle. Skya managed to get her hook latched onto it and began to pull it over. Suddenly, there was a faint WHIRRRRRRR as a turret rapidly popped out of the top and began to rapidly shoot bits at very high speeds towards the trucks.
"Whoa! What is that thing?!" yelled Dozer as they quickly began to run away from the needle. While riding Ty as he drove away with the other trucks, Revvit watched in fascination as four sliding doors on the needle (two on each side,) opened up and a jet engine popped out of each of them. The engines all powered up and emitted a powerful spray of heat and smoke, thrusting the needle upwards. After it was off the ground, the engine turned sideways and thrusted the needle forwards through the sky.
The rest of the supply run went a lot better, and they were still able to gather a good amount of scrap for the next couple of builds they wanted to make.
It was the next morning when Ty went to go get a drink of water in their special drinking pool. During his drink, he saw the needle again. It was positioned on the piping that brought the water down with four arms with claws on them that grabbed onto the slanted aqueduct and stabilized it. He watched as it extended an arm out of the bottom, this time with paddles on it. It extended out to the water stream and the flowing water began to spin the paddles. Ty went ahead and grabbed everyone else to show them the needle object.
"Fascinating. It appears that this object has a power system, as the paddles appear to be turning a generator which is recharging the needle," said Revvit.
"Well perhaps you can study it more as we get it out of here," said Skya. The group advanced on the needle's position, but the needle appeared to notice and once again extended its jets and flew away.
"Whoa, that thing can like totally fly!" said Ton-Ton.
"Well yeah, but it is really beginning to get on my nerves!" Replied Dozer, in his typical cranky mood.
The next time they saw the needle object, it was during their lunch. The trucks were at the ore station, eating ore and talking about the needle object.
"Does anyone know what it is?" asked Ty, looking at Revvit.
"I am not sure," replied Revvit, "I am afraid I have never seen it before."
"Maybe it is a new species of dinotrux!" said Ton-Ton.
"I highly doubt that, Ton-Ton," replied Skya.
"Well, I don't care what it is! If I ever see it again, it'll be scrap!" yelled Dozer.
"Well I don't think it'll be long, look!" said Ty, motioning towards the needle, which was flying towards them at very high speeds. The crew watched as the needle speeded overhead and landed at the top of the ore station.
"It's stealing our ore!" said Ton-Ton.
"I would advise caution, we have already seen what this thing can do," mentioned Revvit.
"I got it," said Skya, as she flung her hook around the needle and yanked it off the ore station. The needle flung out its jet engines and fly just out of reach of the trucks, including Skya's hook.
"I don't think it's very happy," said Ty. Just as he said that, the needle object opened the bottom portion of itself to reveal multiple small ships, all with jets of their own, that each include very rapid fire bolt guns on them (just like the ones on the turret that it deployed earlier.) The smaller infantry ships pummeled the trucks with bolts and bits, as the bigger "mothership" deployed its turret again and got in some long range sniper shots as the trucks ran away.
