Building up some friendships
Unexpected connections and introductions
It was a early morning for a world called... The Mechazoic. This world was full of creatures sure you have your bit-bugs (Part tool bit Part Bug) but the true stars of this world are the Dinotrux half Truck and half dinosaur these beasts of power,speed, and determination are lean mean fighting machines. They eat ore to help fuel themselves and drink water to help cool their engines down, plus they also had to be careful beacause they could be disabled by sand, tar, and ice. They also had to be aware of Scraptors and Scrapadactyls (Velociraptors and Pterodactyls that look like scrap) they also look for food but they don't hunt for ore they stalk, Dinotrux like their namesake they both hunt for fresh and raw scrap that fall off any unfortunate Dinotrux. Using their special clamp like jaws and grabber claws they'll maul and rip apart the Trux with the ferocity of a Dinotrux gone feral. Luckly the only difference between them was one species was air born while the other is terrestrial, and what they lacked in IQ they more than made up for in aggresion. But one Trux was about to change all of that as he entered the valley he turned out to be a giant Scraptor but several things made him stick out first his color was a light shade of silver, and his eyes were like the headlights of a normal Dinotrux along with the black pupil, his arms weren't grubby like most Scraptors and instead looked more robust like a T-trux's (part part Excavator) arms that ended with two giant grabbers, each one had five claws surrounding them in a star like pattern and it was all connected to a box like device on his hands, which as it turns out was connected to a spring mechanism that launches the grabbers at will which is a common function of most Scraptors it's how they can grab onto Trux and cling to any surface plus he had some spikes on his forearms, claws, triceps, and even his shoulders. And speaking of clinging the metal in his mouth was much sharper allowing a bite with more grip and rip.
The second thing that set the Scraptor apart was it's back instead of being bare of anything it was covered with two spiny metal fins that streched down from his head to the upper part of his tail which ended in three sets of black spikes that seperate from each other. He also had many sets of horns on his face two long ones at the top of his head that went up and curved along with another set that curved foward, one set of spikes above each of his eyes and four spikes on each side of his face all and all the spikes made it look like he had a crown he also had spikes on his Tread covers that had a orange triangular warning sign and a black and white striped rectangle (which were rare on a Scraptor) and treads! and last but very not least the end of his tail while most Scraptors had simple flat tails used for balance this Scraptor had three giant robot digits connected to a giant claw which was attached to a long chain covered in tiny silver thorns said claw was also covered with spikes on the outside to look even more meanacing and powerful, and if that wasn't enough the Scraptor was also ten feet short the size of a !
Then there is his behavioral differences unlike most Scraptors which were nothing but wild and mindless this Scraptor acted like a normal Dinotrux and was feared just as much as a but even more because he was a Scraptor, however the biggest and shocking opposition was that he acted nice and didn't mind about anyone in his space as long as they didn't bother him he wouldn't bother them. He had been searching for a new place to call home and ever since hatching he had a large scar over his right arm so he aptly named him self.
Slash.
"sigh" Slash sighed tiredly as he had been traveling for days and he always felt dejected because of his appearence because all it did was make Dinotrux scared of him.
Anyway Slash was thirsty and decided to find some water, as luck would have it he found a lake 2 meters from him. He dunked his head into the water and gulped, "sigh now that's more like it" his voice was that of your average teenage boy here on earth, back to Slash he was now more content than ever and ready to continue his journey when he heard a throaty grind coming from the forest nearby.
He decided to investigate when he cleared the boarder line between the rocks and the forest he came to a clearing, as he listened he heard a...
SNAP! CRACK! Creeee...
He turned around just in time to dodge a tree falling for him, he looked to where the tree once was and decided to see who was behind this, he then saw another tree began to fall and cleared it with his clamp jaw he saw the creature's tail, the second time he was seeing the creatures back, third times the charm he finally got a good look at it, she was a large Dinotrux with her head and treads low to the ground with 2 buzz saws on her side and a larger one on top she also had a chainsaw on the end of her tail and she was also a violet color.
As they stared at each other Slash couldn't help but see fear in those eyes of hers, so wanting to defuse the situation Slash tried to calm her down " ok, take it easy I don't want to hurt you" he spoke calmly the violet Sawmetrodon backed up in surprise.
"what did you say?" she said in disbelief " I said I don't want to hurt you" he repeated, " i as merely passing by when i heard a noise coming through here, i bet it was you making that noise wasn't it?" Slash then asked, the Saw behemoth embarassingly shook her tread from side to side while averting her eyes, " hey it's ok, you were just trying to defend myself, believe me I would've done the same, plus your blades look pretty cool" Slash complimented.
The Sawmetrodon was clearly shocked as she gasped, she never heard a compliment like that before in her life.
" you really think so man?" she asked.
" I do think so" Replied the Unique Scraptor.
The violet Trux took this moment to contemplate a few seconds before conversing " well in that case... my names Ivy! nice to meet you" she greeted.
Slash responded in tandem " i'm Slash"
30 minutes later
After Ivy and Slash both left the forest they converesed with each other like Hobbies,Likes,Dislikes, and even stories, plus they shared what their features do and how they help them Ivy was also atounded by one of Slash's goals "so you want to find some Trux who will treat you, like a friend instead of a fearing you as an enemy?" she asked tenatively "yes" he replied "wow! so am I! i've got the same problem since Sawmetrodons are territorial" she said shivering in disgust "it almost makes me loathe my own kind" "I feel ya, believe me I feel the same way too being a Scraptor and all" Slash sympathized gesturing to his Grabbers and tail while agreeing with her she was about to stir up another conversation then suddenly.
CLING! "AHH! get off me don't you guys ever get tired of this?!"
RAUGH!
After that the two decided to intervene deciding to help the unlucky Trux, when they rolled onto the scene they both gasped.
The Trux was a Poundersaurolophus (part Pile Driver part Parasaurolophus) these Dinotrux were well known for forcing other Trux out of their territory using the powerful hammer on their head but while most of them were black with red pupils in their headlights this Pounder seemed to have Black pupils and was a sky blue color another thing that set him off from the others were his arms while the arms of many other Pounders were small spindly and had little hydraulics, this one had arms that could put a T-Trux to shame they were big and bolcky and insted of having fingers he had four curved spikes that acted like a claw one set on each arm.
The duo hesitated at first then decided to help after seeing what was about to happen.
The Pounder was still beating the attacking Scraptors however they were persistent, "come on! go find some scrap somewhere else!" he yelled which was another difference while most Pounders are silent except for their infamous chittering this one seemed to have the ability to talk and he had a bit of a western accent, while he was smacking them around with his hammer, Claws, and pettibone which was bigger than most Pounder tails, had three clamps, and was colored black, a pair of Scraptors were circling around to the top of a high rock to ambush him. RAUGH! they only got within 3 feet of the Pounder before two giant grabbers came in yanked them and threw them as hard as they could against the rock wall.
The Scraptors and Pounder turned to who attacked and to their shock saw Slash with Ivy rolling up on his left.
"hey Ivy, how about we show these scrap-for-brains what we can do!" he said with resolve "you read my mind Slash! LET'S DO THIS!" Ivy shouted charging at the Scraptors along with her unique companion both gave out roars of challange to let them know who they are dealing with.
The Pounder who was stunned for a moment soon got into the thrill of the battle, and started nailing some scraptors into the wall, even though they only met Slash was feeling like he was having the time of his life.
"Hail to the Nail!" said the Pounder as he sent a Scraptor Flying into two more scraptors, "hey Pounder! Duck!" he obliged as Slash sent a Scraptor soaring through the air with his tail "thank you!" the Pounder said, Ivy was just ramming and swiping at them but they just kept dodging, that was until Slash Smashed them into the ground with his tail and grabbers, "thanks Slash!" "don't mention it!" he reciprocated as he fought back some Scraptors, this gave Ivy the chance to swipe those Scraptors with her tail and bump two of them at her right.
Then Slash got an idea on how to end this battle "hey guys over here!" he shouted catching their attention, the Pounder and Ivy heard Slash and after both knocked back some of the scrap scavangers, they huddled up near Slash "ok here's what we do" Slash said after whispering something to them Ivy and the Pounder got excited! they thought it would be a perfect way to teach those scrap heaps a lesson.
So they got into position with Ivy on the right, the Poundersaurolophus on the Left and Slash standing strong in the middle "CHAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGE!" they yelled and began unfolding their plan Ivy took the lead as she knocked out three out of all ten Scraptors by ramming into them constantly she then grabbed one of the Scraptors using her mouth and threw it to the Pounder, "It's Nailing time!" the Pounder shouted as he smacked the Scraptor into the ground with his pettibone after that he grabbed the Scavanger Trux tossed him into the air and.
CLANG!
He hammered that Scraptor sky-high and right to slash who would do the encore as he saw the Scraptor coming he readied himself, wait for it , wait for it , aaand , NOW! Slash thought quickly and grabbed the Scrap heap using his tail claw he used the momentum from the Scraptor's air time and swung his tail round and round before finally throwing the scraptor at three unsuspecting Scraptors that were tangling with Ivy "Ivy! Watch Out!" Ivy heard this and said "Hope you enjoyed your stay!" as the Scraptor Slash threw crashed into the three Scraptors.
The pile of four scrap scavangers were sent into a rockwall and knocked out cold, "yes! ha ha ha!""man! you got the high score bro!""awesome!" so they kept repeating the process, it was like a way of bonding for the three Dinotrux, Slash and the Pounder would knock out the Scraptors before the latter and former would knock them over to Ivy so she could get a taste of the action, and Ivy being a Sawmetrodon saw it was too good to pass up.
Ivy would then hit them Back to the Pounder (don't worry his name will come up soon after the battle) who would sky-rocket them to Slash who would WHOP! them with his grabbers and tail this procces went on for an hour.
1 hour later...
It was midday by the time they got done they soon had 10 unconsious but slowly waking Scraptors as soon as they woke up they cmae face to face with the trio, who bore angry expressions as soon they saw them seven went running for the hills while three were parylized with fear, so Slash decided to give them a warning.
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
In the form of a roar, his roar was like a combination of a T-Trux and a Scraptor so it sent them with so much speed the trio thought they would crash into each other the three gave out tired sighs before collapsing in exhaustion, that move had definately drained them of their physical and mental energy, after resting for five minutes they got up and finally started to introduce each other with the Pounder thanking the duo for saving his hide "I can't thank you enough for helping me out there, I mean what's not hard about being a Pounder am I right psrtner?" "yeah we feel you, we're going through the same problems as well"Slash said "wow! then allow me to introduce myself, since we got so caught up in the battle i'm Nails what are your names?" Nails said gesturing to Slash plus Ivy "i'm Slash""what's up names Ivy!" they conceded "well nice to meet you, Slash and Ivy" along at that moment they soon found another who shares their goal, to become a friend and not the enemy.
another hour later...
The trio got acquantied even more so after they found out what they can do "so you can be able, to sniff out any ore deposit?" Nails asked intruiged by the unique Scraptor "yep, and i use my tail and grabbers here..." he said using his sense of smell to find an ore deposit, just two meters away from them swung his tail down and "Boom! paydirt" Slash said joyfully now that he had found them some ore "well what are we waiting for!?" Ivy asked "Let's dig in!" and with that they were eating like T-Truxes until a sound interuppted their lunch.
" AHH!"
They all whacked their heads up when they then heard a screech that could only mean one thing.
"Scrapadactyls" Nails put it simply.
" and a trux in trouble!" Ivy exclaimed.
Slash didn't have time to register the thought after hearing 'trux in danger' as he took off into the canyon where the sound came from his new friends following behind.
While in the canyon Slash thought to himself here I thought a Truxes friendship was hard to earn, but now he has two friends who he saved and helped, Ivy with her coming out of hiding and saving Nails from some Scraptors, back to rescuing Slash and his buddies heard a grunt as they idetified the voice as a female.
This got Slash's attention even more as he sped up and when he and his friends came around the corner they was shocked at what he saw.
It was a Scraptor that looked just like Slash! except for a few key differences 1. she was a light pink 2. she had only two horns on the top of her head but instead of curving foward her horns were curved like a C-shape at the bottom 3. while Slash had a claw on his tail with a chain she had not one tail but three of them! each with a Mechanical pulverizer on the end, with the middle one having something inside that looked like a jackhammer, the left one had what looked like an auger Drill, and the right one had a rock cutting saw in it! and the final difference was, her claws were like his only with three digits and spikes on the outside.
Anyway she was beating up Scrapadactyls left and right trying to fend them off, using her tails to pound them into the ground while using her claws to catch them out of the air, but there was simply too many as they backed her into a wall.
Slash and company were about to step in and help when she began to dig herself through the ground Leaving the airborn scrappers bewildered.
So some of them went into the tunnel to investigate, all eyes were on the hole in aticipation of what would happen.
When all of a sudden there were a few screeches of surprise a few meatal bangs and clangs and out! came the Scrapadactyls out of the hole! now looking beat up and frightened.
So all of them jumped in that hole at the same time! then out came the pink Scraptor with some Scrapadactyls right behind, they managed to cling onto her and hold her down as the others slowly closed in.
Then suddenly they were knocked out of the way like bowling pins as a heap of violet came rushing trhough.
Slash and Nails came up with the former saying " sorry to crash this party but the snacks are off limits" he taunted.
One of the Scrapadactyls came flying at Nails " if you're hungry... then how would you like to taste some stone!" he secured a rock with his clamp tail and smashed it with his hammer toward the attacker who was sent spiraling back to the ground.
Slash continued with an onslaught of boulders and 'Slashes XD' as they were knocked back one by one.
Ivy meanwhile after making her first strike, drove on over to the Pink scraptor and got rid of the Scrapadactyls pinning her down.
After the former got back up on her treads she thanked the latter, " thanks for saving me"
" no problem, but you might wanna look out!" the Purple Sawmetrodon exclaimed at some incoming Scrapadactyls.
The Pink Dinotrux smirked as she preformed a grand slam on the flying trux, trampling them over with her tails, claws, and clamp repeatedly.
After nailing all the airborne feral trux, Slash gave them a roar of warning sending them well on their way back to their nests.
The four celebrated with cheers of excitement and some glorious lines.
[Slash] " we did it!"
[Nails] " Hail to the nail on that Partner!"
[Ivy] " we sure got them to run... or in this case, FLY for their money!"
All three of them bursted out laughing for a whole minute and soon enough pulled themselves together.
The pink Scraptor from before came up to them and spoke " i have not seen many trux like you with impressive battling skills, brave hearts, and most importantly the most fiercest of Trux in the world!"
" Don't mention it partner, by the way what be yer name?" Nails inquired.
She happily obliged saying "my name is Savannah" "cool name" said Slash "i'm Slash, the Sawmetrodon is Ivy, and the Pounder is Nails" he vocalized pointing to each one of his new teamates "nice to meet you guys, i'm also a Desert Scraptor" "woah!" said the baffled trio "that explains a lot" said Nails before anyone could continue they heard a growling noise but not from a Dinotrux but from Savannah more specifically her motor "hungry right?" questioned ivy Savannah just nodded "don't worry we found an ore deposit near by let's feed on the rest of that grub before some more Trux find it" and so they rolled out of the quarry and back through the canyon and glad they made a new friend.
This was the fourth time introductions were made and as it turns out Savannah had the ability to dig tunnels which could prove useful since Desert Scraptors were known for ambush tactics, after all that they played some Dinotrux games to help train for upcoming battles, and use every tool and feature they have on themselves, Nails found a good use for his pettibone for he could grab and smash things with it, when it came to buzz-saws Ivy had a ton of them sure she could tilt and manuver her side blades but she could even extend her top blade a few inches higher which was useful for cutting trees that were high up, both Slash and Savannah were utilizing their heads, hands, and tails to the fullest extent they even utilized their Scraptor ability to jump up high, and as they did this Slash felt a bond he never had before and always blushed whenever he thought about it when it came to Savannah she felt the same Slash was the first Trux to help her out of a pit of despair, and he introduced her to such great friends.
As they began to tire out they all gathered around "guys this has been the best time of my life""me two!""me three!""and me!" said Slash, Nails, Ivy, and Savannah feeling celebratory that they made some good friendships, "guys! look!" said Slash his eyes glued to the sky the others gasped in a amazement and awe "shooting stars" said Ivy "I haven't seen one of those when I was little" reminiscing when she was only a hatchling the reason why she abondend her kind was that she wanted to have actual friends, and now she got not one but three "guys how about we make a wish!" Nails said "alright" Slash said "who will go first?" they then looked at him "wait you want me to wish first?" Slash sputtered Ivy spoke up and said "duh, you are the one who brought us together and helped guide us here" "not to mention you got Ivy out of hiding, you saved my life , and helped Savannah out of a Scrapadactyl attack! of course you get to go first fearless leader!" Nails exclaimed gleefully me a leader!? Slash thought wildly "wow" he said "ok then, ahem I wish we could have some more Dinotrux see us as friends instead of enemies"
"good wish!" said Ivy "I wish we could have some more Dinotrux friends you know man!" "another great wish" replied Nails excitedly "I wish we could find something good to do for this world" "wow that is a really good wish"replied Savannah "I wish to make the Mechazoic a safer place" "excellent wishes everyone!" exclaimed Slash "anyway I hope that all our wishes come true"
What they didn't know was that they were going to be in for a wild ride because their wishes will come true.
