Ty watched his friends disappear behind the the rock that shielded the top of the ramp from his view before he slowly turned around and sighed. "Sure was nice" he said "As nice as your previous home?" asked Revvit who was perched on top of his head "Different. That place I found, this one I built, we built, a community, friendships" "Unfortunately that does not make any difference to the volcano" his friend countered in his natural way. "Yeah I know" said Ty slowly. Then he turned his treads towards the slide before looking back at the garage one last time before he stopped and closed his optics as if he wanted to hold the picture of what he had seen in his mind forever.
Then he opened them again and without looking back rolled onto the slide, up to the top and finally taking one final despairing look back at the home he had loved, where he had made friends and friendships that he treasured more than anything else. Then he turned away and rolled off in the direction that his friends had taken. He soon found them waiting for him in a clearing not that far ahead. None of them spoke until Dozer broke the silence "So where do we go from here?" he asked "I don't know but we'll find somewhere to call home" Ty replied "You think it'll be as nice as you know" Garby broke off not wanting to finish the sentence "Maybe Garby maybe" Ty looked round at them "Let's roll trux" he said and with that the group set off. To where they did not know. But wherever they went they hoped to find some place that they could eventually call home.
Meanwhile back in the crater D-Structs, Skrap-It, Lloyd, Break-It and Smash-It were heading towards the garage. "Eh are you sure you want to do this now?" asked Skrap-It "The volcano seems kind of eh kkkkt kind of angry" D-Structs immediately lowered his head to the scraptool and growled "Yah. Maybe not that angry" he said hoping to anger the black and white t-trux further. "There are parts in that garage and I want to get them before the larva does" came the reply. "Before the larva does what?" Break-It asked "Before the larva uses the parts scraphead!" Smash-It replied crossly ramming into his fellow tool.
"Larva doesn't use parts it melts them scraphead!" Lloyd said angrily before he rammed into Smash-It who was flung into Break-It resulting in both tools ending up in a heap as they usually did when arguing. Finallly the arrived at the garage and D-Structs approached with caution. He had never been inside it before so he didn't know what it would be like but with the volcano ready to blow he didn't have much of a choice. Slowly he rolled up the ramp the scraptools following behind him as cased the area in front of him for traps. But from what he could see there were no indications or anything that suggested traps at all.
"Get to work" he growled and without arguing the quartet of scraptools immediately began rummaging among the various parts and pieces picking out and piling up the most important ones (mostly t-trux parts). When they had gathered all the parts that they knew they would need to repair D-Structs, if the need ever arose, they noticed a problem "How are we gonna carry all these back?" asked Skrap-It looking up at his master for answer. Said t-trux thought before replying "Put them on" and needing no further hassling the four tools obediently put the various nuts, bolts, screws and other parts into boxes that had been left behind by Ty and the others and in the end they put the boxes onto D-Structs where they could find space on his treads and back and the remaining ones he picked up with his claw tail and all five headed out of the garage. As they did so they felt the ground shake violently beneath them and they quickened their pace to get back to the high ground on which they had watched all the trux and tools in the crater flee from their homes.
When they got to the cliff tops where they had set up a temporary base camp Skrap-It, Lloyd and the other two tools unloaded the parts and put them under some overhanging rocks for safe keeping. While they were storing the parts D-Structs turned his gaze out towards the garage and an evil smile appeared on his face "I told you this crater belonged to me Ty" he said before shifting round to look at the volcano "And it soon will be". He started to laugh quietly at first before it grew louder and louder until it was echoing around the cliffs and the scraptools, who had finished putting away the parts, smiled a new era was coming to the crater one in which their master would rule it. Forever.
As night fell Ty and the others made camp in a small clearing by a stream and after having dinner they went to sleep and nobody not even Ton-Ton, who was usually the chatterbox of the group, said nothing and was sleeping as well. Skya only slept for about half an hour before she heard tread noises and opened her eyes to see Ty roll slowly away from the group towards the stream that they had made camp next to, stop and look down at the water. From his posture she could tell that the red t-trux wasn't looking good so she rolled quietly over and parked next to him. "Is something wrong Ty?" she asked and he voice seemed to jolt him out of his stupor "I can't believe I ran away again and let everybody in the crater down" Skya shook her head and replied "Ty there was nothing you could have down so you can't blame yourself just because you feel like you let all those trux down because you didn't".
Ty still looked saddened until Skya spoke again "Did I ever tell you that I was forced out of my old home too when I was young" and Ty turned to her surprise and curiousity on his face "No why" "Because of a Pounder" came the quiet reply "A Poundersaurolophus I've seen one but never up close" "Good for you because when a Pounder moves in nobody stays" said Skya looking down at her relfection next to Ty's in the water "It drove my whole herd out of the valley we lived in Pounder's mark their territory by pounding everything and everyone you know that right" "I do and I'm sorry to hear that" "Don't apologise Ty you don't have too". To her relief her friend smiled "Thanks Skya your a great friend" "It's what I do" she replied smiling her trademark smile at him.
"We could say the same thing Ty" said another voice and the pair looked round to see Dozer, Ton-Ton, Garby the reptools and the tortools come up to them and they too were all smiling "Thanks everyone I don't know what I'd do without you" "Same here dude" replied Ton-Ton "And we all have your back Ty" added Revvit climbing onto his best friend's left tread "Thanks Rev now let's get some sleep big day ahead tomorrow" and together the group went back to the clearing and soon dropped off to sleep.
"Come on I'll turn you all into scrap!" the group were jolted awake by this cry coming from somewhere nearby "Where's it coming from?" asked Ty and Skya lifted her neck to see over the trees. "Straight ahead there's a canyon that's the most likely place" "Then let's roll everyone" and with that the group rolled quickly forward to the rescue of the trux in need.
