It's time for another "What Happened?" story. For you new guys out there, this series of one shots focuses on scenes from movies and such where we leave one character, and when we see them again, something else is going on.
Summary: When Berix enters the battle, he falls onto a Bone Hunter's Rock Steed, who then proceeds to try to buck him off and instead hits the remaining Bone Hunters. We don't see him again till the end, where he's sticking his hand out of a pile of rubble. How did that happen?

The Skrall Shield
"No trial," Berix said as he right himself onto the Rock Steed, "no treasure!"
The Rock Steed turned to face its new rider. It growled. Berix saw that it had an attitude that would scare even a Skrall. Berix had only heard of one Steed like this. Skirmix.
"Oh, not good," Berix quickly said before he felt Skirmix jump up and down trying to knock him off. Skirmix had a thing for even other Bone Hunters riding it. The reasons for this were unclear. Only Fero could ride this one, and he was probably the one that Berix had knocked out when he waved the shield behind him.
Berix realized that if he did take out Fero, Skirmix wasn't just trying to knock him off; it was possibly going to kill him.
"Whoa, okay," Berix yelled, in a futile attempt to calm Skirmix down, "nice Rock Steed. You wouldn't hurt me would you?" He felt another bump and held on tighter. "I mean, there are plenty of Agori out there who want a piece of me as we-eeeeelllll…" Skirmix had finally succeeded in throwing him off.
Berix landed near a large rock, his new shield still in his hand. He looked up and screamed. Skirmix was charging for him and roared. Berix knew he wouldn't survive. But that didn't stop him from putting the shield in front of him. The Rock Steed collided with it, forcing Berix backward into the rock's surface.
"Swell, just swell," Berix said to himself before Skirmix slammed into the shield again. "I've finally made my peace with Kiina…" Another tackle. "…and now I'm gonna die." Skirmix continued to ram into the shield.
Berix knew the rock wouldn't take much more of this kind of punishment. "Any more hits and this thing could bury us both." He then thought of something. After Skirmix finished its latest tackle, Berix quickly reached behind him and pulled out the blade he found at Tesara. He threw it away from him just before the Rock Steed was about to hit the shield again. It saw the blade and chased after it. Berix took the opportunity and stood up. Skirmix turned and saw the Agori's deception. As it raced toward him, Berix raised the shield at the rock and slammed it from the shield's buzz saw-like adornments. It pierced the rock and it started to crumble just as Skirmix was right next to him. The Steed stopped to observe the rock, and in its hesitation, it was buried in the falling rubble.
"Well," Berix said as he removed the shield, "that was easy." But as soon as the shield was detached from the rock, he heard a small rumble. "That didn't sound good." His fears were confirmed as he felt a small pebble hit him. With no time to run, he put the shield above him as the rock came down in a small avalanche. Soon he was completely buried.
"Well, that didn't work the way I planned," he said as he lay there, the shield keeping him from being crushed. "But look at the bright side," he said to himself, "even if Skirmix does get up, he won't be able to find you." A sudden realization hit him as he said. "Come to think of it, neither will the Glatorians. But hey, it's not like you'll be missed or anything. 'What's one less thief?' they all say." That was when he heard something outside.
"Berix? Berix!"
Of course, that's just my theory. Because no one will truly know, "What Happened?"
