Chapter 1: Where did everybody go?

Ty, revit, Ton Ton, Leo, slash, sunset, violet, Spyro, and Jet vac were traveling through an open area being chased by a few flying monkeys. Ton ton was pulling a wagon loaded with energon cubes.

Ty: "Keep it up guys, we're almost back at headquarters!"

They stopped 7 yards away from headquarters to hold off the acrobatic apes.

After Ty tossed one away with his jaws, another flying monkey pinned down sunset. Sunset struggled to get it off, but Ty swung his wrecking ball at it.

Sunset: "Thanks for the save."

Meanwhile, slash knocked 2 monkeys away with 2 swings of his mace, but he was just getting started.

Slash: "Bring it on!

Then while Leo was holding back a monkey that was strangling against his katana swords, he turned his head towards the base.

Leo: "Hey guys, a little help out here!"

But for some strange reason, there was no response. No one even came out to help them.

Violet: "Dash, Donnie, anybody in there?"

Ton ton: "Oh come on guys! We're surrounded by flying monkeys here!"

After there was still no response, Ty has had enough. So he pulled one of his mighty roars which scared the flying monkeys away.

Ty:(sighs heavily) "That's why we could've used back up."

Spyro: "Okay, why did nobody show up when we needed them?!"

Sunset: "Yeah, it's kinda strange for them to leave us with all the dirty work."

Then Revit noticed something big on the ground, so he decided to check it out.

Revit: "Hey Jet vac, could you come over here for a second?"

Jet vac walked up to what Revit found to see that there was a huge scuffle all over the ground outside the base.

Jet vac: "Oh my, looks like there's a scuffle all over this area."

Then he took out his vacuum blaster and used it's scanner to get evidence from the scuffle.

Revit: "By my calculations from all this, a massive battle took place here while we were gone."

Slash: "And we missed it!? Aww sewer apples!"

Jet vac scanned the scuffle with his vacuum blaster for a few more seconds. When they heard a ding, he turned towards the others while looking at the scanner's screen.

Jet vac: "Okay, I found skya's treds. But I also found the tread marks of a T trux, and Ty was with us the whole morning."

Violet: "But if Ty was with us, then who was in the battle that could leave the same tread marks?"

Ty: "2 words, D and structs."

Revit: "My thoughts exactly, but D-structs couldn't have been able to take on all of those heroes on his own."

Sunset walked up to the scuffle, knelt down to it, and put her hand on the dirt to dust away the tiny pebbles. Then she found some slightly small-sized footprints and right away found out who they belonged to.

Sunset: "I found dash's footprints, and they look like he was running at top speed across the field."

Violet: "Heh, that's my boy."

Then Revit came to another section of footprints.

Revit: "Oh no."

Ty: "It's never good when you say that."

Revit: "These are Pounder's tread marks."

Jet vac: "It seems like he came right in front of dash and pounded his hammer right into his face."

Leo:(gasp) "How do you know that?"

Jet vac: "My scanner even indicates what they actually did."

Ton ton: "Dude, that rocks."

Then Spyro noticed something sticking out of the ground in the distance.

Spyro: "Hey what's that?"

Then Leo walked up to what Spyro saw, he soon realized what it was.

Leo: "This is one of Raph's ninja stars!"

Then they all spotted a whole trail of them further away from the base.

Violet: "He must have left those for us so we can find them."

Violet: "You know, raph maybe a hot head, but you gotta love the guy."

Leo: "Come on guys, let's go save our friends."

Ton ton: "Whoo-hoo!"

So the heroes followed the trail of ninja stars down the valley, wondering what D-structs might have done to their friends.

To be continued.
