We're going back in the crater to see what's D-Stroy up to. Why is he back and what is his plan..? (Of course there's a plan this is D-Stroy we're talking about here.) XD

Hope you enjoy.

"But, I do not understand, what is he doing here" Revvit was still shocked.

"I don't know but we've gotta stop him. Whatever he wants it can't be good" Ty replied as he started following D-Stroy from a safe distance.

"I agree, but you can't take D-Stroy on alone Ty. I suggest we get the others" Revvit tried to convince him.

"We don't have time for that, look..." he pointed at D-Stroy who has just entered D-Structs's old Lair, "I'm going in!" Ty finished. Revvit wished to stop him but he knew that was impossible now, so he just stayed on his friend's head, ready to help Ty if the worst happens. Ty sneaked inside, he saw D-Stroy examining one of many piles of scrap laying on Lair's floor.

"D-Stroy!..." Ty angrily called his name. D-Stroy quickly turned, surprised someone followed him here, he seemed even more shocked when he saw Ty and Revvit. Although it didn't take him long to get back in his element: "Ty, what a 'pleasant' surprise" he smiled evilly.

Ty was still angrily looking at him, "Your brother isn't here, D-Stroy" he pretended he didn't hear what D-Stroy said.

Revvit was carefully analyzing D-Stroy, hoping to discover what is he doing here when T-Trux replied: "I appreciate your concern, but I assure you that I already know" his voice sounded wrathful and full of hatred. These words really intrigued Revvit, there was something behind them that D-Stroy was trying to hide. Before Ty could say anything on this he heard Revvit shouting: "He's taking something!" D-Stroy was impressed Tool noticed since he was doing his best to occupy Ty's and Revvit's attention. He quickly grabbed one pile of scrap with his tail and ran directly into Ty pushing red T-Trux in cave's wall as he passed. Ty shook his head and started rolling after D-Stroy as fast as he could.

"Faster Ty, you must go faster. We must not let him get away," Revvit said.

"Easier said than done, Rev" Ty replied as he tried to speed up. D-Stroy was surprisingly fast, either he somewhere scored an upgrade, or he gave it everything his powerful engine got, or, he had a plan… (Perhaps this won't make any sense at the first sight, but actually, it's pretty logical: both of D-Brothers have powerful engines, both stronger than Ty's. Which means they can reach the higher speed than him if they want to. But since they're almost never going high speeds, they're not used to doing so. That's why Ty's gang was always easily managing to escape them.)

Trux were still celebrating at the garage, but the rest of Ty's crew wasn't really having fun anymore:

"What is taking Rev so long?" Ace worried.

"You think he actually found Ty?" Waldo added another question.

"You...you don't think some...something happened to th...the...them," Click-Clack said with his shaky voice as he pulled his head inside his body again.

"Anything Skya?" Dozer asked third time in past 15 seconds.

Skya was trying to locate a T-Trux and a Reptool almost ever since Revvit left, but with no luck. Although the good news was, the sun will rise soon, so she'll have better chances. "Still nothing Dozer… Wait! I...I think I see them" everyone happily exclaimed before Skya added: "Of course, this other thing I see; you're not gonna like it" there was some anger in her voice.

"What… What do you mean, what is it?!" Dozer asked confused.

"Looks like they are chasing D-Stroy" Skya explained.

"What!?" everyone yelled at the same time.

"What is he doing here?" Ace posed a question everyone was currently asking.

"Who cares! Let's just show him the exit!" Dozer said as he lowered his blade.

"Got you covered dude," Ton-Ton exclaimed before he went up one Flatiron rock and shouted: "Hey, everybody, we need your help! D-Stroy is back!" everyone was surprised but they all agreed to go and bash D-Stroy once again.

A big group of Trux led by Skya, Dozer and Ton-Ton was rolling after two T-Truxes, they soon got D-Stroy completely cornered at the bridge. Trux were ready to attack when black and white colored T-Trux did something that surprised them all. (D-Stroy's color is black and some combination of both white and gray.) D-Stroy backed up towards the bridge, turned around as fast as he could and rolled to the other side of the chasm. He used his jaws to cut the wires that secured the last two components of the bridge causing them to fall right after he passed. He disabled Trux to follow him, but also destroyed his way back, although he looked at them with an evil smile on his face.

"Again, seriously?! We just rebuilt that!" Dozer yelled from the other side.

"Not cool, D-Dude. It's like...the opposite of cool!" Ton-Ton agreed. D-Stroy evilly chuckled as he disappeared behind some rocks, he was still holding the pile of scrap with his tail, during this entire chase he didn't let it go...

"You should be glad he's gone," Xee told Dozer and Ton-Ton.

"I know I am" Click-Clack agreed with her, for the first time today he didn't sound so scared. All other Trux already left, glad they won without the need to actually face D-Stroy. Only members of Ty's gang were standing beside the bridge now.

"Anyone else has a feeling we beat him, too...easy?" Skya wondered.

"Huh, I am not complainin'," Waldo answered her.

"That's the first" Ace smiled.

"Hm.." Revvit was thinking about something.

"What's spinning the bits, Rev?" Ty asked his little friend, he knew whatever it is it can't be good.

Revvit got off Ty before he answered: "I fear D-Stroy did not intend to stay here in the first place" Revvit explained.

"And what in the crater makes you think so?" Waldo rudely interrupted him.

"Does it have something to do with that weird pile of scrap?" Ty feared Revvit will confirm.

"Yes, and unless I'm mistaking that pile of scrap was a cage, filled with Superchargers," Revvit stated sadly.

"Well, why didn't you say anything before!?" Dozer yelled at him.

Revvit felt guilty, "I did not realize it in the excitement, but when Click-Clack and I were trapped with Skrap-It, we saw Scraptools captured and hid tons of Superchargers inside the Lair. D-Stroy must have known about this as well..."

"So, let me get this straight, we just let giant, devious T-Trux to simply roll out of here with a cage full of Superchargers..?" Skya summed up their situation.

Ton-Ton replied: "Skya, Rev just said all that, pay attention" Skya gave him a 'this isn't the time' look.

"With that many Superchargers, he'll be unstoppable" Xee stated.

"How do we know it's just him, he and D-Structs are probably working together again," Dozer guessed.

"After what D-Structs did to him, no way," Skya reminded him.

Xee didn't agree with Skya on this one: "I wouldn't be too sure".

Ton-Ton didn't seem concerned at all: "Dudes, dudes, dudes even if D-Bros are back together and want to get back here, and break everything all over again..." "...Does this have a point, Ton-Ton?" Dozer interrupted him a bit angrily.

"Sure does dude... So what if they have Superchargers, we just wait til they burn those out. And...you know; don't have them anymore..." Ankylodump smiled at his friends.

"I hear you, Ton-Ton, but imagine the damage they can do while they're supercharged. They could hurt someone" Ty explained to him.

"Yeah, remember what D-Structs did the last time he got supercharged," Waldo agreed.

"I never forgot!" Click-Clack screamed in fear.

Ty immediately said: "We gotta warn the Trux. Come on guys let's roll, and fast!" gang was about to leave when Revvit stopped in front of Ty, forcing T-Trux to stop. Everyone stared at him, surprised, no one understood what is he doing.

"Rev, Trux in danger..." Ty reminded him.

"Actually I do not think they are" Tool's answer confused all of them.

"What do you mean you don't think they are. D-Brothers have Superchargers!" Dozer thought Revvit gone crazy or something.

"All we know is that D-Stroy has Superchargers" Revvit reminded them.

"What are you thinking, Rev?" Ty realized Tool knew something they didn't.

"I do not believe D-Stroy is planning to use Superchargers to attack the crater, or us..." Revvit explained.

"Ha, I knew it, I knew he will…Wait, did you say you don't believe?" Dozer interrupted him.

"Then what is he planning to do?" Ty indicated his friend to continue.

"I believe D-Stroy will use the supply he stole for one purpose only...revenge" Tool continued talking.

"Um...you lost me, dude. How is he gonna get revenge without attacking us?" Ton-Ton asked.

"I do not think that D-Stroy wants to take revenge on us, but rather on..." "...D-Structs..." Ty finished Revvit's sentence.

"Ha, sure glad to hear everyone's getting what they deserved" Dozer didn't seem really bothered by this. He began to roll towards the Flatirons since the sun's been up for some time now and after the night he had, some time in his mount was all he needed now. But then he got a feeling his friends were too quiet, he was sure something's gonna happen, something he's not gonna like. It seemed Skya felt it too: "Ty, you're not considering to help him, are you?"

"Not this again..!." Dozer joined his friends again "Why do you want to keep helping him, Ty? He'll never do the same for you..."

"It's also kind of a family thing dude, you shouldn't really…get in the way" even Ton-Ton sided with Dozer and Skya. They all knew it was pretty much impossible to stop Ty once he decides to help someone, but they all agreed about one thing – Ty helped D-Structs way too many times already. And that Trux certainly didn't deserve it this time, cause for once it wasn't Ty's fault D-Structs was in trouble. Ty was looking at Revvit like he's asking him if he should tell his friends about their previous conversation. Rev shook his head indicating to him that won't change anything. Ty lowered his head and unwillingly accepted his friends' decision... A moment later they all heard loud propeller noise and looked up in the sky already knowing who they'll see.

"Prop-Top, Navs, where are you headed?" Ty asked as two Pteracopters passed above them, they acted like they didn't even see the gang, they've been in a hurry. Flapjaw and Washout stopped when they heard Ty's voice:

"Sorry Ty, we're in a hurry, Prop-Top and Navs are in a big race, like really, really big, like greatest race which you Treaders probably didn't even hear of, ever..." Flapjaw 'explained' on his very confusing way, with lots of words…

"Um.?." Ty failed to understand anything Flapjaw has just said.

"Hold on dude, did you say a race?!" Ton-Ton excitedly asked.

"Sorry Ton-Ton, it's only for Pteracopters," Ankylodump sadly gasped when Flapjaw told him this.

"They lost their minds racing in the wind canyon, that's the windiest place in the whole crater!" Washout interrupted them.

"Tell us more about the race Flap-Dude," Ton-Ton wanted to know."

"Or, you can show us..." Ty said before Flapjaw could start talking again.

Trux were rolling towards the wind canyon when Dozer asked: "I don't get it..." he started grumpily as always.

"What is it now?" Skya asked a bit annoyed.

"If D-Stroy's really after D-Structs, how can Superchargers help him without someone who'd install them?" Dozer asked.

"Installing a Supercharger is too tricky for a Trux..." Waldo agreed.

"He needs help if he wants to use them" Ace stated.

"I fear finding help would not be a big problem for him..." Revvit joined.

"Who'd be dumb enough to work with him?" Dozer asked again.

"D-Stroy does not require someone foolish enough to help him, but simply someone threatened enough," Revvit explained.

"Rev's right, he's just gonna force someone to help him" Ty sadly agreed.

"It's not like any Tool can refuse..." Skya said as they entered the canyon, powerful winds started blowing before they even got near the wind canyon. Prop-Top, Navs and two unknown Pteracopters have already been standing there, apparently waiting for Flapjaw and Washout, so race may finally begin.

Flapjaw started: "Copters and um Treaders too, these are the rules: 2 teams, two Copters in each; whoever flies through the wind canyon, takes the copper panels from the other side and flies back here through the wreck caves wins the race..." "...Actually, since this is the team race whoever flies back here first brings the victory to their team" one of the unknown Pteracopters corrected him.

"Who cares, we all know the rules. Skip to the race part Flapjaw, I am itching to beat your leader again" another unknown Pteracopter smiled, but Prop-Top didn't seem happy cause of this comment.

"Alright then; ready, set, take off!" Flapjaw shouted as 4 Pteracopters took off at the same time. Washout was flying behind them to make sure everything goes well. Flapjaw was just about to do the same when Trux called him:

"Flapjaw, wait!" Copter stopped his propellers as he heard Ty's voice.

"Sorry, can't wait, have to make sure everything's right, and better than right, perfect actually and safe of course, dangers are everywhere on the track, wreck caves and..." "Just tell us who are those Pteracopters and why are you racing?" Dozer interrupted him.

"Oh dude, come on, you don't need a reason to race, it's fun!" Ton-Ton explained.

"Exactly and Prop-Top and Navs race our rivals Darcopters every year, unfortunately, the one that joked with Prop-Top is really fast, I haven't seen Copter that quick in sailing through canyons since I met..." "We get it, Flapjaw, tell us about these Darcopters, why are they…dark, who are they? Skya asked.

"They are part of a very small and rare group of Pteracopters, extremely hard to find, but in general same as us; we have hooks, they have hooks, we have propellers, they have propellers, we have two engines, they..." "...have two engines..." Revvit stated obvious and finally shut Flapjaw.

"Yes… their names are Jett and Fliper, you'll meet them later as soon as the race ends and we find out who wins and..." That's all Trux could hear (or understand) Flapjaw saying before he took off and disappeared behind one of wind canyon' walls.

Jett was in the lead but Prop-Top wasn't far behind, Navs and Fliper were as always behind them, these races have always been between Prop-Top and Jett, Pteracopters and Darcopters actually weren't rivals, these two were. Fliper and Navs were, in fact, really close friends. The outcome of the races was always kind of surprising, even tho Jett would almost always finish 1st Prop-Top was a worthy opponent. Fliper and Navs would always just fly behind them and talk, they weren't really racing types, so sometimes Fliper'd end up 3rd and sometimes Navs would…

Wind canyon is the windiest place in the crater and even having propellers isn't an advantage when you enter that giant wind tunnel. But since Pteracopters spend most of their time up in the clouds, this wasn't such a big deal for experienced fliers.

After a few minutes Prop-Top finally took the lead, Jett began to speed up in order to hopefully outgoes her. But since Prop-Top was right in front of her Jett couldn't see anything that could be in her way, so when it came to sudden left turn all she could do is watch as Prop-Top gone left revealing a stone wall to Jett. It was too late for her to turn, all she could do was try to slow down, brace for impact and prepare to crash, hard. And then, just half of a second before she'd hit the wall she felt something grabbed her and pulled her up, saving her from an epic wipeout, or was it someone…

The first couple of seconds Jett just hung from the hooks attached to her wings, trying to process everything that just happened, before she said, still in a great shock: "Uh...Thank you...both". Fliper and Navs caught her and saved her, then she noticed something even crazier, Prop-Top returned when she realized Jett is nowhere near her.

"You alright Jett?" she asked politely as she came closer.

"Been worse" Jett managed to smile, still terrified. It didn't take long before Flapjaw and Washout arrived.

"See, I told you racing here was dangerous" Washout said as soon as they approached.

Jett looked into Prop-Top: "Not just dangerous Washout, stupid..." she said as she shook her head slowly. And judging by the look on Prop-Top's face she agreed with her long-standing rival who became something completely different in time…

They got back to Ty and his friends, Fliper and Navs were still carrying Jett, cause, as they said, there wasn't enough room for her to take off in that canyon again.

"Took you long enough," Dozer said since they were gone for awhile.

"Who won the race dudes?" Ton-Ton asked them.

Ty was the first to notice something's wrong: "Are you guys alright?" he was referring to the fact that Fliper and Navs were still holding Jett…

When Jett spotted a T-Trux, she got scared again: "Um...um...ah" was all she could say.

Fliper jumped in: "Navs, I assume these are your Dinotrux friends," he looked down in Jett: "Friendly, nice T-Trux and...other Trux".

"Hey!" Skya, Ton-Ton and Dozer exclaimed at the same time.

"My apologies," Fliper answered politely.

"Mm hmm" Waldo said.

"And Tools," Fliper corrected himself.

"Friendly T-Trux you say?" Ty nodded on Jett's question, "Then I think you can put me down" she looked up in Fliper and Navs: "Now!"

"Oh, sorry..." Navs and Fliper said at the same time as they put Jett on the ground.

"Dudes is someone gonna tell me who won the race!?" Ton-Ton demanded to know.

Jett started: "Yes, about that..." "...we realized this wasn't a good idea..." Prop-Top continued, "...and that it is more dangerous than fun. If I got a chance to see my fellow Copters, I'd like to use that time a bit differently. Plus I am faster anyway" Jett chuckled as she finished.

"Maybe in your dreams, Jett" Prop-Top replied also smiling.

Navs interrupted them: "Fliper, Jett, I believe you should finally meet our friends..."

Ty continued: "I'm Ty, that is Skya, Dozer, Ton-Ton, and Tools are Revvit, Xee, Waldo, Ace and Click-Clack".

"Wait a second, did you say Ty?" Jett asked him.

"Yeah. Why, you heard of me?" Ty smiled.

"I did actually," Fliper was surprised by Jett's answer.

"Really, where...and when?" Fliper asked her.

"Oh, Skrap-It mentioned him" Jett smiled as she remembered her little friend.

"Did you say, Skrap-It?" Revvit was the first to ask.

"Yeah… Why are you looking at me like...that?" Jett asked cause both Trux and Tools stared at her and Fliper, confused, shocked and like they had tons of questions.

"Do you maybe happen know Skrap-It?" Fliper guessed pretty sure gang will confirm. They all slowly nodded on that.

"Dudes, how can we be sure it's our Skrap-Dude" Ton-Ton started but no one seemed assured that can be true so he turned to Jett: "Why don't you describe him?"

"Well, he's a Scraptool, he's pretty funny, he twitches while he speaks, even more, when he's lying" Jett smiled as she was describing him, "He's a little silly and… he has a really weird sense for choosing his friends" as she looked in Revvit who was still on Ty's head she added: "Actually just like this little guy" Jett finished while pointing at green and yellow colored Reptool.

"What Jett wants to say is that he was with a T-Trux" Fliper added even tho it wasn't really necessary.

"Yes, we kind of got that," Skya said.

Nobody said anything for a couple of minutes until Click-Clack broke that awkward silence: "They've seen D-Structs!" he screamed, it sounded like he's been trying not to freak out but at the end, his need to scream this fact in terror was stronger.

Jett exclaimed sounding a lot more happy than shocked: "You know D-Structs?" of course she already realized they did know him, she wanted them to confirm so Ty and his friends can tell them more about D-Structs. Everything about that Trux was a great mystery and Jett was curious from the moment she first saw him, mostly because of the great similarity between him and the T-Trux who once attacked her.

"Know him is one way to say it..." Skya started, "… And another one would be that he's the worst Trux you could possibly meet" Dozer continued, "And we've gone through a ton of trouble til we finally kicked him and his brother out of the crater" Waldo finished. Darcopters were shocked but when Waldo mentioned D-Structs has a brother both of them put two and two together…

Jett couldn't resist but say: "D-Structs has a brother!?" Everyone was surprised that was the only thing that intrigued her.

Ty started: "Um, yes his name is D-Stroy..." "… His colors are darker than D-Structs's, he has horns on top of his head from which one is broken in half, great scar on the right side of his face and a giant, heavy wrecking ball made out of drills but yet strong enough to kick your engine out of you...intimately" Jett said in one breath, she surprised even herself by how much she remembered about D-Stroy from just one look at him. Everyone else just stood and stared at her, even Fliper looked shocked and he knew something Trux didn't.

Jett took a deep breath, there most certainly was a part of her which wanted to find D-Stroy and kick his tail for what he did to her, but, honestly what would it mean anyway, all these years she didn't know anything about him, hoped she'll never see him again, knowing his name and who he is couldn't change that, at all. And she was surprised but, it didn't change her opinion on D-Structs or Skrap-It, because meeting them felt much better than any revenge ever could.

"We've met once…it doesn't really matter" she said at last.

"You think you can tell us what happened with D-Structs and Skrap-It?" Ty changed the subject.

"Sure, why don't you tell them, Flip," Jett didn't really wish to speak to these Trux after what she's just told them.

Fliper understood her: "No problem, we found them in the desert, surrounded by desert Scraptors. So we thought we'd jump in..." "… Hold on, you wanted to help them, why?" Skya interrupted.

"Well, they weren't really doing great" everyone got confused as Flip said this, "Scraptor was about to take Skrap-It apart when we spotted them, and D-Structs was unconscious and overheated..." Fliper explained.

"Wait, Rev-Dude isn't that what almost happened to Ty when we were..." Ton-Ton didn't finish his question cause he noticed Revvit nodded on that: "Ow..." Ton-Ton said before he shut up.

"They are alright now," Fliper said when he realized Trux got the idea D-Structs did not survive.

Then Ty asked: "Do you know where are they now?"

"There's a cave in the desert located few clicks south from this crater, you'll most likely find them there," Fliper decided to tell him. Jett already prepared to take off as Fliper added: "I know it's hard for you Trux to look at this from our point of view but..." "...we can totally get you Flip-Dude" Ton-Ton interrupted him as he indicated Flapjaw to hook onto him and lift him up, Alkylodump shouted from the sky: "You see?"

Fliper was about to answer when Jett beat him to it: "Not the point of view he had in mind, dude" she shouted her answer to Ton-Ton by imitating the way he spoke; she was back in her standard mood.

Fliper continued talking: "If someone understands what it means to have really troubling past, that is us… But sometimes, the best thing to do isn't to continue hating someone, but to give them a second chance, or if they didn't deserve one, at least to forget" he smiled at Jett for a second before he added: "You can try trusting us; I spoke to D-Structs, met him and also helped him, and even when you told us truth about him, I do not regret saving him. And he's far from the worst, otherwise he wouldn't have a friend and otherwise, we wouldn't have helped him. I can't say Trux can change, but they can always realize their mistakes and regret what they did… Let's go Jett" "But you forgot to tell them one thing," Fliper turned, looking at Jett, "I do not regret it either…" and with that said, they took off and disappeared behind clouds.

"So, what do we do now?" Dozer asked while looking at Ty, waiting for an answer.

Instead, he got a pretty unexpected question from Skya: "Do you really think D-Structs regret anything he did?"

Ty answered: "There's one way to know for sure..." "...Ty, I know a thing or two that those Darcopters said made some sense, but that still doesn't mean D-Structs deserved our help. And it doesn't change or erase anything he did to us, to the crater, or other Trux" Dozer interrupted him.

"Yeah dude, you said it yourself; we tried to share with him, we tried to be friends. Maybe he's really just not… Dude-Structs," Ton-Ton agreed.

"You thought the same for me when we first met, Ton-Ton, you all did..." Ty reminded them.

"But you proved you're different Ty, you made a crater safer and better for everyone, we all did, thanks to you. D-Structs never proved we misjudged him," Skya replied.

Ton-Ton joined her: "And you're like super friendly dude..." "...Yeah, it's not like D-Structs made any friends, ever" Dozer said, he didn't really think Skrap-It counts.

"He did dude, remember, Skrap-It?" Ton-Ton didn't realize Dozer said that on purpose.

"I still kind of wonder; How did that happen? I mean, D-Structs never made friends with anyone else but Skrap-It," Skya said.

"Because unlike other Dinotrux, Skrap-It gave him a chance..." Revvit explained kind of sad.

"We should too" Ty decided and this time no one felt confident enough to say the opposite.

"We can at least warn them" Xee broke the silence with suggestion nobody was against.

"Yeah", "I suppose we could", "Why not" is what group said on Xee's idea, everyone whispered so it was hard to tell who said which version of 'yes' but they definitely all agreed to go and find D-Structs and Skrap-It, it was crazy but it was well-thought through.

Ty happily announced: "Everyone, gear-up and prepare for a field trip..." "… Why don't we make it a fly trip instead," Prop-Top interrupted him on what Ty thankfully smiled.

"We will bring spare parts, just in case," Revvit said as he got off Ty's head and joined other Tools.


*Meanwhile in one cave outside the crater*

D-Stroy's been in this cave for weeks, scrounging for ore and restlessly planning perfect kind of revenge for his little brother, which can drive a Trux crazy, it pretty much did, since he was talking to himself, a lot:

"I'll take away everything he ever cared about, just like he's done to me," he evilly chuckled, "Ty made that a whole lot easier. Hahaha and then..." he looked at the cage with Superchargers: "I'll smash him into parts..." "… At least…as soon as I find a way to use you," (by you he meant Superchargers.)

"Talking to yourself? Don't you mean that is kind of weird, D-Stroy, crazy maybe?" he heard the voice coming from cave's murk. D-Stroy turned his headlights on, revealing a whole lot of Scraptools everywhere around him: "Not as crazy as you coming here, Knock-Itt," he angrily growled.

"Yeah well, not many Trux fear us anymore, thanks to that annoying T-Trux, Ty: no scared Trux, no parts from them… So, I guess we'll have to settle for you; Get him boys!" on Knock-Itt's command Scraptools started closing in on D-Stroy.

"Hah, this is going to be fun..." D-Stroy evilly smiled. At least 13 Scraptools jumped on him at ones, but D-Stroy handled much worse things and this was literally nothing. He easily shook them off and knocked down few rocks from cave's wall, trapping Tools under them, Knock-Itt's biggest Scraptool, Skrugg was a little tougher to handle but D-Stroy simply grabbed him with his tail and throw him outside, soon only Knock-Itt was left standing in front of him.

"Yeah, talking to yourself isn't crazy at all," she nervously chuckled. D-Stroy just looked at her, not caring at all what she has to say, he just wanted to crush something pretty badly and opportunity stood right in front of him. He turned, drills on his wrecking ball started spinning, while getting closer and closer to Knock-Itt, she covered her eyes in fear and looked away. And then something weird happened, grinding noise stopped, which meant D-Stroy stopped his drills for some reason. T-Trux slowly turned, still evilly looking at her as he said: "Actually, I have something else in mind for you, Knock-Itt".

"What…what do you want?" she asked a bit confused and still shocked.

"You need me not to smash you in even tinier parts than yourself and I need someone your size for certain plan" he looked at the Supercharger cage again, "I think you would know better than rejecting my offer or trying anything, wouldn't you?" he said as his wrecking ball started spinning.

"Maybe I can't say no to that now, but do you really think anything could stop me from taking advantage out of this, anytime. I know your parts better than you do. You'll just have to let your guard down for a second and I'll already be half finished taking your spiny little toy apart," Knock-Itt fearlessly replied.

"Oh, but you misunderstand, you're not my partner, you're just my tool.." D-Stroy laughed. Knock-Itt's confidence completely disappeared, she looked terrified, "What is this Trux planning to do to me?" and other questions familiar to this one occupied her mind… D-Stroy grabbed some scrap which was laying on cave's floor, threw it on Knock-Itt and then freed two of her Scraptools:

"Weld that scrap together!" he ordered Scraptools to trap Knock-Itt in scrap-cage by welding pieces of metal around her together. And they did that without questioning.

"What!? Stop, don't listen to him!" he heard Knock-Itt screaming on Scraptools which turned against her. Now D-Stroy kind of understood D-Structs's obsession with these creatures, they were so easily manipulated and controlled by the T-Trux' strongest and most powerful weapon, fear. But he did not require more than one of those scrap-heads bothering him, and that one was already caged up.

"You'll pay for this D-Stroy; I will make you pay!" Knock-Itt continued yelling but D-Stroy didn't listen. His plan worked perfectly so far; he sneaked back into the crater, got the Superchargers and even damaged one of Ty's precious builds in the process, and now he possessed the way to use those Superchargers. All that was left was to find his brother and make him pay… D-Stroy started laughing, quietly at first, but then laughter got stronger and soon it echoed through the cave…


*Meanwhile inside the cave in the desert outside the crater*

As Skrap-It was towing ore back to the cave he heard the sound he's already been too familiar with, constant grunting, which could mean one thing only, D-Structs was trying to get back on his treads, again… Tool left the ore next to cave's entrance and ran inside only to see that he was right, but that wasn't a good thing in this case. Fliper and Jett left D-Structs in the worst position possible, it was the same helpless position in which he was after he fell near the edge when he was fighting Ty on that volcano. His treads were touching air instead of solid ground and the rest of his body was literally pushed in the ground, which made it a lot harder for him to get up. First, he had to raise his head high enough so he can use it to push himself back on his treads.

He was using all the strength he's got, he was slowly raising his head while constantly grunting, he almost reached needed height when he completely ran out of strength and had to let his head hit the ground again. He opened his eyes which made him realize he passed out for a second, then he furiously roared. But for the first time ever that wasn't a good idea, because he literally got dizzy cause of that roar, he closed his eyes again so he can replenish some strength. Skrap-It only stood and watched, he knew there's nothing he could do, D-Structs was stubborn and still pretty terrifying, but Tool also couldn't stand to watch much more of this.

After a few minutes, D-Structs opened his eyes and furiously shouted: "Why is this taking so long?!" he was referring to his recovery.

Skrap-It couldn't resist but reply: "Well maybe twitch, it wouldn't take so long if you'd stop wasting energy on trying to get up all the time twitch," he angrily said. D-Structs looked at him, shocked by his courage but also angry, he swung his claw in Skrap-It's direction, he nearly hit him, but Scraptool jumped out of the way in time. Tool noticed it took him quite some strength to do even something as simple as this, Skrap-It started wondering: "Seriously, why is this taking so long?" D-Structs already had all his energy back, he struggled only with movements that required engine's assistance, which meant everything except talking or shouting, even roars were coming mostly from his engine. Something must've still been wrong with it… When D-Structs pulled his chain back in his tail he simply said: "You're not helping".

On what Skrap-It pretty casually replied: "Really...twitch?" he said as he pointed at chunks of ore that stood next to cave's wall, bringing food and water was his job and he was doing it surprisingly well.

D-Structs looked at all food Tool brought, he took a deep breath and unwillingly corrected himself: "With this," he made a gesture pointing at his engine before he put his head back on cave's floor.

Skrap-It knew D-Structs was right, but, why wouldn't he try to help, "Let me have a look twitch," he said as he climbed on D-Structs.

D-Structs didn't really hope Skrap-It could possibly discover what's wrong, but, after a few minutes, he couldn't help it but ask: "Well?"

"Well… I have good news and twitch bad news. Um, which one would you twitch like to hear first ha...ha?" Skrap-it nervously asked, he had no idea what to tell D-Structs since he didn't understand what was happening with his engine. And D-Structs sensed it cause he angrily growled, indicating Skrap-It to stop playing with him.

"The good news is, twitch engine works. Of course you probably already know that cause if it didn't work you twitch wouldn't be able to…" "… Enough!" D-Structs interrupted him and then tried to shake him off, make Skrap-It fall off him, but it wasn't so easy to do that when you're laying on the ground. So D-Structs stopped after a few failed attempts and pretty annoyed mirthlessly said: "Get off..."

"Oh, twitch of course..." Skrap-It got off him but then decided to add: "Are you sure you don't want to hear the bad news twitch. They are better than good ones, I mean not better, cause you know twitch, they're bad but they are a bit more..." "...QUIET! Huh, just be quiet..." D-Structs has had enough already, enough of this cave, enough of this desert, enough of this awful predicament, enough of being unable to move or do anything. He looked at Skrap-It for a couple more minutes, expecting Tool to leave or something like that and when he didn't do so, D-Structs just closed his eyes, he wanted some time to think, he needed that now… Skrap-It was still looking at him, he understood he messed up, but there's gotta be a way for him to fix this, and he's gonna find it. It took him a few minutes to think of a perfect way to get D-Structs's attention, but he did it. D-Structs sensed Skrap-It climbed on him again, he opened his eyes and looked up to him, "What are you doing?" he asked but, surprisingly he didn't yell at the Tool.

"I remembered a little technique all the Scraptools know twitch, it's a trick how to steady Trux' engine while he sleeps, which makes it a lot easier to steal parts twitch without them noticing. Because then they sleep even deeper...," Skrap-It realize he's giving D-Structs the wrong idea of what he's doing, "I tried that, in reverse, backwards actually twitch. It might take time for it to start working, but it might give you more power twitch… So, would you like to hear the bad news now?... Hm twitch, I feel like that question didn't sound so weird in my head". Skrap-It noticed D-Structs didn't reply so he decided to get off him and see what happened. T-Trux just stared at him, Tool could really see the pride in his eyes, but D-Structs wasn't really used to saying 'thank you' yet so he just said: "What is the bad news?" Skrap-It could swear he saw D-Structs blandly smiled for a second.

"Well, I don't know for sure but twitch I think a few important 'things', that's the technical term for it got damaged twitch cause of the heat and everything…and that's why you can't, well… At least I twitch think" Skrap-It nervously said: "And... I don't think I can fix them twitch," he said sadly.

"Then you better think of a workaround," D-Structs's reply sounded like a treat but some kind of a weird motivation at the same time and Skrap-It was pretty sure he smiled again. Tool couldn't believe it, was it possible that D-Structs actually believed in him…?

"Is this a good time to ask about those D-Stroy nightmares twitch?" Skrap-It asked him all of a sudden.

"What!?" D-Structs exclaimed in great shock, but then he added deadly serious and angry again: "How do you know about that?"

"I heard you saying his name a few times while you were asleep twitch, so I just put two and two toge..." he shut up as he heard D-Structs angrily growling at him. Skrap-It was about to add "So what are they about?" when he looked at D-Structs. Skrap-It knew D-Structs won't tell him anything, so he decided to figure it out on his own: "Why would D-Structs think about his brother… hmm, he hates him, he betrayed him. Maybe he feels bad about it, no that's not it. Maybe D-Stroy is after us, eh, no way. Oh, maybe Knock-Itt is after me cause of that scrap-ball and Superchargers; but wait, why would D-Structs think of that. Oh, this thinking is really hard!", "Why don't you just tell me what it is twitch!?" he realized he screamed that last part out loud, he slowly turned back to D-Structs, look on his face told him enough, "I said that aloud twitch, didn't I..?" he nervously chuckled.

"You really want to know?" D-Structs asked on what Skrap-it nodded, "Then fine… As far as I know, D-Stroy won't stop until he finds me and gets his revenge, for everything I've ever done to him," ton of different emotions could be sensed in D-Structs's voice as he said this; hatred, anger, pain… but also something, else, something Skrap-It clearly felt but couldn't believe, self-pity, a lot of it...

"But… you can beat him twitch" Skrap-It confidently stated, "...right?..." he added, not so sure anymore. D-Structs just gasped and closed his eyes, Tool didn't need to know D-Structs at all to guess exactly what that meant: "Not like this..." Skrap-It realized D-Structs fell asleep again, he took some ore and stood next to him for a while, D-Structs was dreaming about something again, this time without saying anything, but Skrap-It could bet it was about D-Stroy. There was something else about his brother that D-Structs refused to tell him, a lot more; and D-Structs still wasn't ready to trust someone enough to tell what that was, not even Skrap-It… Tool carefully climbed on him again, doing his best not to wake him, he slowly lay on D-Structs. He waited to see if D-Structs will react, but, he didn't, Skrap-It wasn't sure if that was because he didn't realize Tool climbed on him or he didn't mind it, but whatever it was it was good enough for Skrap-It. He decided to stay up there, if he couldn't do anything for D-Structs, he could at least try to be there for him…

And that would be it for this chapter, I decided to put every character's situation in this chapter because every single one of them is important for chapter 4. Let me know if you want to see Jett and Fliper in following chapters and I'll see if I can find a room for them, I am also open to all suggestions how's D-Stroy gonna find D-Structs.

I hope you liked it, leave a review and let me know what you think. :)
