I decided to rewrite this story as the first two chapters were very short and didn't really give enough detail. I am also working on redoing chapter two which I hope to have done soon.
Dinotrux belongs to Dreamworks Animated and Netflix.
I only own the plot and OC's.
It was a clear evening in the crater and Ty, Ton-Ton and Dozer were finishing clearing up the mess left by the Dreadtrux. First they had fixed the Ore Station, cleared up around the Trux Wash, and finally brought down the land bridge that the Dreadtrux had used to block the river running through the chasm so it could cross back into the crater.
"Comin' at ya Ton-Ton!" called Ty as the rock sailed through the air and landed squarely in the Ankylodump's bed before he dumped it onto a pile of others. "Great shot Ty," said Revit, observingly. "Looks like we're nearly finished and Waldo, Ace and Click-Clack will be soon be back from the ravine with the last of the parts we need." "After that can we eat all this fixing and repairing has made me hungry," said Dozer, as he rolled up alongside Ty. "Couldn't have put it better myself," said the red T-Trux.
Dozer went on. "Where's Skya haven't seen her all afternoon?" Ty looked around before replying. "She's probably just running late," he said to the yellow Dozeratops. "She's not the only one who's missin'," said a new voice. They turned to see two Reptools, a red Pipe Wrench Reptool with black stripes on his tail and an amber orange Rotillian Reptool, approach them. "What do you mean Waldo?" Revvit asked. "Ace is missing too, she said she was going to find Skya but she hasn't come back yet."
A familiar voice suddenly cut in, "You were saying Waldo." A female orange Craneosaur appeared next to Ton-Ton, a silver and blue Monkey Wrench Reptool riding on her neck, was the one who had answered Waldo's question.
"Where have you two been?" asked Ty looking at them "Just err..." said Skya, trailing off and looking away nervously. "Making sure that the Dreadtrux hadn't knocked anything else down!" said Ace quickly and with that Skya rolled away. "What's gotten into those dudes?" Ton-Ton asked. "Ton-Ton's right Rev. I know Skya can be edgy sometimes, but never anything like this," Ty said looking up at the yellow and green Rotilian Reptool on his head.
Said Reptool thought before replying, "I think it is probably just nerves Ty, from the experience with the Dreadtrux. It was a trying time for all us." "Well if you say so," the T-Trux replied. "C'mon guys let's get some dinner," he said and headed off in the direction Skya and Ace had gone. "Alright!" said Ton-Ton who, after allowing Waldo and Click-Clack to hop onto him and climb up to his bed, rolled after them. "Finally something I enjoy as much as dozing," said Dozer, who fell into line behind the blue Ankylodump at a more leisurely pace as the three headed off towards the Ore Station.
When they got there they found Skya and Ace already eating and joined them. Strangely, the pair remained oddly silent throughout the meal which caused no end of strange glances from the others. At last they could stand it no longer. Ty stopped eating and looked at the two, "Alright, what is it?" he asked calmly, though the demand in his voice was noticeable.
His question clearly caught them by surprise as Skya choked on the piece of ore she was eating, as did Ace. After she had stopped coughing she started stammering. "W-W-What are you t-t-talking about Ty?" she asked nervously, looking away as she spoke. "You two have been very quiet," the red T-Trux said. "Which, if I may add, is slightly disconcerting," put in Revvit from where he was.
"Yeah, you two have been quieter than scrap on a sunny day," said Waldo as he and the others joined in. The two females looked at each other then back at the questioning glances of their friends. Ty could Skya's lower jaw trembling. She clearly wanted to tell them something, but she couldn't find it in herself to do so.
Revvit, Waldo and Click-Clack were also seeing the same thing with Ace. The silence went on for a good while. Ty spoke again "Skya," he said gently. "If you and Ace are going through something you can tell us." The pair looked at each other then back at Ty. "We can't!" they both cried before Ace jumped onto the Craneosaur as she rolled away both leaving their meals unfinished.
They others watched them go. "Okay, something is definitely wrong with them," said Dozer. "Yeah, dudes have never been like this before," added Ton-Ton. "Hmm," said Revvit. "I hope it is not anything serious," "You said it Rev. Whatever it is, I hope it's nothing too bad." The group turned back to finish their ore, the cheerful mood from before was now completely gone. Not that it had fully been like that before.
Unbeknownst to any of the group, they didn't notice they were being watched. A sudden noise made Dozer look up and he scanned the rocks nearby with optics narrowed in suspicion. Ty and Ton Ton noticed. "Something wrong Dozer?" "Thought I heard something," was the vague reply. "Could you show us?" asked Revvit. Dozer led the way over to the rocks where he had heard the sound.
What they found when they got there was a set of tracks. "Huh? Never seen tracks like these before," said Ty giving them a once over. He lowered his head to allow Revvit to hop off and examine them more closely. The yellow and apple green Reptool frowned in thought as he studied them. "These tracks are unlike anything I have seen before," he concluded. "They must belong to an entirely new species of Dinotrux," he studied them once more, "They look like they were made by a distant relative to the Dozeratops, but I can not place the name."
He hopped back onto Ty's head, "I suggest we look at them more in the morning, we will have better light then," "Good idea Rev," agreed Ty. "We don't want to be wondering around in the dark with a strange Trux hanging about," "T-t-that's good enough for me," said Click-Clack, who was shivering beside Waldo on the front of Ton-Ton's bed. With that the three Trux turned and headed back to the Ore Station to continue eating.
The second they turned and moved away the figure moved forward to continue watching. It's optics narrowed as it took in the sight of the three Trux and Tools before it silently rolled away once more.
That night the group were all asleep. Well, all apart from Ty who was trying hard to get to sleep, but couldn't. Revit had fallen asleep on his sleeping shelf over an hour ago and was occasionally mumbling now and then as he dreamed. For, somehow, the red T-Trux had not been able to get to sleep for a long while; and when he did sleep however, he had very nasty dreams.
They were all the same, except for the last one. He was standing in the crater, fires were raging, the garage and other buildings were destroyed, strange, dark looking Trux were chasing the inhabitants of the crater away.
In the centre of it all stood a T-Trux, even bigger than D-Structs, silhouetted by the flames which cast shadows on his frame and flanked by two mean looking Trux he had never seen before. Ty couldn't see much but he could make out that the T-Trux was yellow and black and his optics glowed like white fires with his eyes forming black orbs of nothingness.
A scream from his left made him look round in time to see a Gluphosaur trip over a stone in the ground and one of the dark Trux loomed over it. The red T-Trux tried to move but found he couldn't. He tried again and again but nothing happened. "Don't worry Ty. You only see these things when I'm here." Ty looked beside him to see a small white Trux. It was slightly bigger than a Gluphosaur but had a triangular shaped head with a sturdy, wiry build and was well balanced by its tail. It had clawed hands like that of a Desert Scraptor, not a normal one.
It had three smooth blades, two on its back in triangles, one larger than the other, while the third was positioned on the end of the tail. It had feet and wheels like a Gluphosaur but even these were unlike as they bore some and no resemblance to the glue-spitting Trux. "Who are you?" Ty demanded. "And what do you mean I'm only seeing this because you're here."
The white Trux gestured to the scene in front of them with a hand. "What you are seeing Ty, is, not what will be, but rather what could be if events continue to happen the way they do." "What do you mean?" "I mean you and your friends are in for a fight like you have never seen before. The darkness comes to take you all, you must fight or all will fall." The red T-Trux woke up after that, panting heavily. Revvit, still on his shelf, only twitched his tail slightly and murmured something before falling back into the depths of sleep.
Ty rolled out of his cave, the stars were shining in the sky alongside the moon. He looked around, easily seeing Dozer slumbering quietly in his mound and Ton-Ton asleep in his rock blanket. Skya, however, was nowhere to be seen, her normal spot in the trees was empty. He sighed, this was too much, the orange Craneosaur and Ace's strange behaviour, combined with the strange Trux's words, which were still going round and round in his brain, were starting to give him a headache.
"The darkness comes to take you all, you must fight or all will fall." What could they mean? Well might as well have a midnight drive to try and figure it out and clear my head, Ty thought to himself and with that he rolled away from his cave and the builds.
Half an hour or so later he came to the bottom of the slide and a smile came onto his face as he remembered how he, the others and most of the trux and tools in the crater had worked together to build it and... He stopped as something caught his eye, something had moved in the shadows. Squinting his optics he stared into the blackness trying to see.
"Who's there?" his voice rang out into the night, but he got no response. Deciding to see if he could who or what it was, Ty rolled on again until he came to the place where the slide started on the cliffs above and he looked around again.
He was so busy doing this that he didn't notice a shape loom up behind him out of the darkness. "Admiring your builds are you Ty." An all too familiar voice came into Ty's audio receptors and the red T-Trux turned slowly round. "D-Structs," he growled as he got into a fighting stance. His optics narrowed as he faced his white and black rival. "If you're looking for a fight you're in the wrong place," threatened Ty as he glared at the bigger T-Trux.
"This time Ty you won't get off so easy." The pair slowly circled each other as they had done many times in the past. "Heard that before, and I've always gotten off." Although Ty had faced D-Structs one on one before this was the sixth time he had faced his long time adversary on his own. The last time being when the pair had fought outside the garage when Ty had gone to find Flynt the Hydrodon to help put out a fire that had trapped the others near the garage.
When he had first come to the crater Ty had thought he and D-Structs would have been able to share and live in peace but he had been given a completely different overview as he had tried to force the red Trux out but it had only strengthened Ty's resolve to stay. No matter how many plans the white and black T-Trux had come up with they had all failed at the last moment.
The only time D-Structs had properly beaten them was when he, along with Splitter, a hot tempered Sawmetradon, Blayde the cold hearted Edozeratops, an old friend of Dozer's who had turned evil after they and their herd had been attacked by D-Structs long ago, and Pounder the, well, aggressive Poundersaurolaphus, had separated the gang with different problems everywhere in the crater and as planned, had cornered Ty and Revvit the bridge.
It had been a close battle, as he had been outnumbered four to one, with only Revvit to help him avoid getting seriously or permanently damaged. Soon after Dozer, Skya, Ton-Ton and the rest of the Reptools, after having solved the problems that had been keeping them from reaching Ty, arrived to help. At first victory had seemed at hand, but then Dozer had been accidentally pushed off the bridge by Blayde when Ty had moved to help him by grabbing her tail and it had just escalated from there.
It had ended with the four Trux and tools falling into the chasm and the river beneath the fog that hung there. After being washed up on land far away they had immediately plotted how to get back home. After building a raft and starting to sail back home, they had encountered large aquatic creatures called Aquadons, which Dozer had gotten rid of, and finally taking back the crater itself by letting the Trux that had been in hiding know that they were back.
They slowly circled each other before D-Structs charged in roaring, but Ty slipped to the side allowing his foe to roll right past. He ducked in time to avoid D-Structs claw as it whizzed by his head, missing him by a few inches. Swinging himself around Ty felt his wrecking ball connect with the white and black T-Trux's face stunning him. However as he tried to follow it up with a ramming attack D-Structs brought his own tail around and sent Ty crashing into the face of the cliff behind him.
Ty barely got out of the way as D-Structs tried to do exactly the same attack he had tried to do on him earlier. The red T-Trux knew he had to end the fight quickly for if it dragged on he knew that he would be overpowered in a short amount of time. Bashing his head into D-Structs' he followed it up with a slingshot like hit with his tail. That would have been the time for him to leave had he not gotten the white and black T-Trux's claw in his face as he turned.
Of course Ty answered with his own in an attempt to get away. But D-Structs had pulled himself together - began to make use of his height and weight. He dodged the attempt and slammed his whole body into Ty full force. This sent him into a spin before he tipped over and fell sideways onto the ground. D-Structs roared loudly as he charged in, aiming for Ty's chest area, but instead got a mouthful of tread as the red T-Trux brought his left tread up in time to block his foe's attack.
D-Structs' mouth slid off the tread and he collided head first with one of the supporting pillars holding up the slide. Whilst he recovered Ty managed to right himself in preparation for the next attack. Once again the pair circled one another. "I suggest you give up D-Structs! You know you can't win!" roared Ty defiantly, even though he didn't feel the confidence he spoke with.
The white and black T-Trux scoffed. "When it's one on one Ty, you lose!" and with that he charged forwards slamming his head into Ty's who lowered his just in time to intercept. For a brief moment the battle became a power struggle, with neither T-Trux backing down. Finding an extra reserve of strength Ty forced D-Structs head up before he brought his tail around with every ounce of strength he could muster behind it.
It was a textbook move. D-Structs crashed back into a rock with a loud crash echoing through the night. Ty slowly approached his rival, panting. "I told ya you couldn't win," he stated. The other growled in reply as he shook his head to regain focus. "And I don't go down easy," he replied as the pair once more circled each other.
Ty, under normal circumstances, with his friends to help him, would have ended the battle there and then. However, since they weren't there, that meant D-Structs could easily continue the fight without being hammered from all sides. The two continued to circle each other looking for an opening to attack. This went on a while, each sizing the other up, looking for an opportunity to strike.
However, fate has a way of intervening at either the best or worst possible time or even in between. This time though, it would happen for the worse. Had it not happened however then things would have turned out very differently to what they did turn out to.
A noise from Ty's left broke the stalemate and they both looked to see a small white trux watching them from nearby. It was a Trux which meant nothing to D-Structs, but it did to Ty. It was the very one he had seen in his dream earlier that night. The one who had delivered him the ominous prophecy that he and his friends must fight or they would fall.
It stared at them for a moment or two, then it made a series of small chirping sounds which only heightened their curiosity. Then it turned and started off. "Hey, wait! Come back!" Ty yelled and immediately started in pursuit. D-Structs naturally latched on as well and the chase was on. Both soon got up to top speed only for the trux to speed up, always keeping ahead of them, but always close enough so that they could see that it was still ahead of them. Where it was leading them they did not know, but Ty hoped it wasn't into somewhere dangerous.
Eventually it rounded a corner and both T-Trux raced round it only to find an empty space. The light of their optics flickered around as they scanned the area in front of them, trying to work out where it had gone. Now that they had a different problem to deal with the two had forgotten about their battle for the time being. Well, Ty had. D-Structs was still looking for a chance to put dents in him.
"Where did it go?" Ty asked looking around. "How should I know," his rival growled in retort. Ty frowned in thought. There was very little cover around where they were s,ave for a few rocks, but they could easily provide hiding places for a Trux the size of the one he had been chasing. It had been bigger than a Gluphosaur after all so it couldn't have gone far.
He rolled slowly forward, his optics searching over the rocks methodically. One thought was in the red T-Trux's mind; if the Trux was still here, he'd find it wherever it was.
BANG! A loud noise made both of them look round. "What was that?" Ty asked in wonder. "How should I know!" D-Structs growled again, annoyed that something had distracted him from continuing the fight with his rival. BANG! The noise came again only this time it was louder. Ty felt uneasy. Had Pounder gotten back into the crater and if so, how? Cautiously he rolled over to a large rock from behind which the sounds were coming from.
Suddenly remembering that his long time enemy was only a few feet behind him, he turned around. "You coming." D-Structs grunted before he begrudgingly rolled over to join Ty, who was a bit surprised, as he had expected the white and black T-Trux to leave or attack him whilst his back had been turned. Together they peered out from behind the rock. What they saw was a Trux that neither of them had ever seen in the crater before.
It looked like a Dozeratops, but was shorter and stockier and had no horns but what appeared to be a bump on the end of its nose. It was a steel grey with a black blade and, whatever the bump was. "You stay here, I'm gonna go talk to him. Two T-Trux's at once might scare him." "Fine," came the growled reply as Ty rolled slowly forward.
