Chapter 15: Reptool Revolution
Pedwick, the disgraced Reptool, made his way into a very dangerous territory. "I'm going to such precautions coming here." He muttered to himself as he came up to a scrap field. "But if I'm to get rid of those Dinotrux, I need help in doing so. And the only Tool I know who can help me is her."
Just as he entered the scrap field, 2 Scraptools came up him. "Pedwick. Been some time since we've seen you here." The first Scraptool, Clamp-It, said. "What are you doing here, Pedwick?" The second Scarptool, Slice-It, asked. "I need to see the boss. I've got a problem. A Dinotrux problem. It involves a certain red T-Trux named Ty." Pedwick explained. The Scraptools were shocked to hear that name. "Follow us." Clamp-It said, walking away with Slice-It. Pedwick followed them.
Later, Pedwick stood before the Scraptool leader, who was none other than Knock-It. "Pedwick. It's been a while since our last meetup together." Knock-It said, stepping down from her throne. "Yeah. I see you've made use of the scrap you got out of it." Pedwick said. "Yes. Now what exactly brings you back to me? You actually miss me?" Knock-It asked, nuzzling Pedwick. "On the one side, I did." Pedwick said. "And on the other side?" Knock-It asked. "I've got a problem with a certain red T-Trux we both know." Pedwick said. "Ty." Knock-It snarled. "Yeah, him. I got kicked out of the ravine because of him and Revvit." Pedwick said as Knock-It stomped around. "Still holding onto your little belief, are we, Peddy?" Knock-It asked. "Other than being with you, it's pretty much the only thing I can live by." Pedwick said.
Knock-It walked back up to Pedwick, staring at him face-to-face. "You want to get Ty, then we need to take out the Reptool supply source first." She said. "The Reptool Ravine." Pedwick guessed. "Right. We take the ravine, we cut off the supplies the Tools need to fix the Trux." Knock-It said. "I like it. This will show those pathetic Tools how wrong they've always been." Pedwick said. "And the ravine will be ours to rule." Knock-It said. "Yes. We'll be the king and queen of the ravine." Pedwick said. "SCRUG!" Knock-It shouted. The certain Scraptool with the hammer-head walked up, tapping his hammers. "Get the boys together. We have a ravine to conquer." Knock-It said. Scrug walked off to gather the other Scraptools. Knock-It sighed. "I can just imagine where our kids are gonna get their looks and attitudes from." She said, nuzzling Pedwick before walking off. "I love her delusional interests." Pedwick said before walking after her.
Meanwhile, the Tools came out of the garage to see Revvit, who was etching out a new idea. "Whatcha working on there, Rev?" Ace asked. "A brand new idea for a build." Revvit said, showing the Tools his sketch. It was an idea for something similar to their aqueduct build. The Tools were confused. "Uh, Revvit? That looks exactly like our aqueduct build." Click-Clack said. "Exactly. I've actually made a few improvements. See, I paid a visit to the lake last week and noticed that the waters have been rapidly rising. Then I met with Ty and we decided that with the rising of water, we should make aqueducts for the other Trux in the crater so everyone can get water without having to travel all the way to the lake." Revvit explained. The Tools understood this. "But we will need the Trux and the proper materials to make multiple aqueducts for all the Trux in the crater." Revvit said. "Well then, looks like we're taking another trip to the ravine." Xee said.
The Tools made their way to the ravine. But when they got there, the place was in shambles. "Uh, this looks worse than how you guys described it." Spinz said. "What happened here?" Xee asked. "And where is everyone?" Dil asked. The Tools searched the ravine as they investigated the damage. "D-D-D-Do you guys think that m-m-m-maybe S-S-S-Scraptors or S-S-Scrapadactyls could've f-f-f-found their way to our ravine?" Click-Clack asked in fear. "I don't think this is Scraptors or Scrapadactyls, Click-Clack. This damage isn't anything like theirs." Revvit said. "He's right. Scraptors and Scrapadactyls aren't exactly cut out to cause this type of damage." Xee said. "Well, if it wasn't any of them, then who was it really?" Waldo asked.
"That who would be us, Reptools!" A voice called. The Tools turned to see a group of Scraptools walking towards them. "Scraptools!" Ace exclaimed. The Tools got into a stance as the Scraptools surrounded them. Just then, Knock-It walked right up to them. "Knock-It!" Revvit exclaimed. "Long time, no see, Tools. How're the Trux doing?" Knock-It asked mockingly. The Scraptools laughed at that. "I might have guessed that these were your Scraptool followers. Now that D-Structs and Scrap-It are gone, you're the only one smart enough to take charge." Revvit said. "But how did these boltless scrap-heads even find the ravine? It was too well hidden!" Waldo exclaimed. "Simple. An old friend of ours was generous enough to lead us here." Knock-It said. "You flatter me, Knock-It. But please, don't stop." A familiar voice said. The Scraptools cleared the way as Pedwick walked up next to Knock-It. "Pedwick?!" Click-Clack asked in shock.
"Surprised to see me, Tools?" Pedwick asked. "You're working with these scrap-heads?!" Waldo asked in anger. "Of course. I went to Knock-It after the last time we met, and she and I struck up a deal." Pedwick said. "We take this ravine and we rule it side by side." Knock-It said. "You're a fool, Pedwick. Scraptools are greedy and selfish. They'll betray you the first chance they get." Xee said. "No, we won't. At least not to my Peddykins." Knock-It said, nuzzling Pedwick. "Peddykins?!" The Tools asked in shock and disgust. "Oh. Did I forget to mention? Knock-It and I have been secretly seeing each other for a few months. We're practically mates." Pedwick explained. "And here I thought things couldn't get even weirder with bad guys." Dil said. "Given the short time I've been on this team, I doubt this would've surprised me." Spinz said.
"What'd you do with all the Tools living here?!" Taziri asked. "They all took off when they saw the army I assembled." Pedwick said. "Yeah. Turns out no matter how many Tools live in this ravine, they are still afraid to stand up for their own home." Knock-It said. The Tools couldn't believe it. "Now I suggest you Tools do the same and get out of my ravine." Pedwick said. "Scrug! Show these trespassers to the door." Knock-It said. Scrug pounded his hammer and prepared to attack along with the other Scraptools. "We're way too outnumbered!" Click-Clack panicked. "For once, I agree with Click-Clack! We gotta go, Rev!" Waldo called. Revvit looked at all of the Scraptools surrounding him and the others. "You're right. Let's get out of here!" He yelled. The Tools all turned and ran for the ravine's exit. The Scraptools chased them as far as the exit. While the other Tools continued to run, Revvit stopped for a moment. "You're not getting away with this, Pedwick! I promise you that!" He shouted before continuing. "Well, that takes care of that." Knock-It said. "Oh, I don't think so. Knowing Revvit, he always makes good on his promises." Pedwick said. "And we'll be ready for them." Knock-It said. "And while we wait, what was that you said about having kids?" Pedwick asked, grabbing Knock-It's attention.
The Tools returned to the garage and told the Trux about what happened. "Pedwick's back?!" Dozer asked. "And he's taken over the Reptool Ravine?!" Shredda asked. "And he's working with Knock-It?!" Skya asked. "Who's also his secret mate?!" Ton-Ton asked. "Yes, that pretty much covers it all." Revvit said. "Trux, we have a ravine to save." Ty said. "No, Ty. This is something we have to do ourselves." Revvit said. "WHAT?!" The Trux and Tools exclaimed in shock. "If you Trux get involved, you might destroy the ravine by accident." Revvit said. "That's not fair! I wanna doze some scrappers!" Dozer complained. "Easy, Dozer. How 'bout we go find some Scraptors to take your issues out on? Just you and me." Skya offered. "You sold me." Dozer said. "Later, guys." Skya said as she and Dozer drove off. "Well, if you're not gonna let us help, then what are you gonna do?" Ty asked. "Get backup." Revvit said.
Ty brought the Tools to the edge of the forest. "Now if I know the Reptools, they'll be here." Revvit said. "What makes you think they'll be here, Rev?" Ty asked. "They always come out here when the ravine is exposed. It's a little backup strategy Click-Clack came up with back in the day." Revvit explained. "I call it the Emergency Reptool Refuge." Click-Clack said. "I say the name was a little forced." Waldo said. "Yeah, shows what you know." Click-Clack said. "Take it easy, Tools. We already have enough problems." Ty said. "Yeah." Waldo said. "Sorry, Ty." Click-Clack said. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go get some Reptool backup!" Ace said. "No, Ace. I have to go in by myself." Revvit said. "Rev, I don't think that's such a good idea." Ty said. "And how good were our other ideas in the past?" Revvit asked slyly. "Good point." Ty said. "But are you sure you want to go in there alone, Revvit?" Xee asked in concern. "I will be fine, Xee. I promise." Revvit said.
Revvit moved through the forest until he came to the precise spot. "Reptools! Are you there?! It's me, Revvit!" He called. "I know about what happened with Pedwick and Knock-It! And I know that you're all scared! But we need your help if we are to take our ravine back! You were able to be brave when we kicked D-Structs and D-Stroy and Scrap-It out of the crater, now I need you to be brave again to help us kick Pedwick and Knock-It out of our home!" The Tools hiding in the foliage listened to Revvit's speech and looked at each other. "What say you? Will you help us fight for our home once more?" Revvit asked.
A while later, while Ty and the other Tools waited, Revvit came out of the forest. What confused them was the fact that he came out alone. "How'd it go in there?" Ty asked. Revvit looked back at the forest. And just then, a few Reptools came out. The blue Wrenchtool, Grouter, along with Otto, Tik-Tik and a Towaconstrictor. "Pretty well, Ty." Revvit said. Grouter walked up to Ty. "We fight." He said.
Back at the ravine, Pedwick and Knock-It cuddled with each other as they watched their Scraptools remake the ravine in their own image. "It really is quite a sight. It will be a really beautiful spot to raise our children." Knock-It said. "Indeed. We will teach them well on how to take a Dinotrux apart, piece-by-piece." Pedwick said. "Oh, I love it when you talk dirty." Knock-It said, feeling flustered. "PEDWICK! KNOCK-IT!" Slice-It screamed as he hustled towards his leaders. "What is it, Slice-It?" Pedwick asked. "It's Revvit and his buddies! They've returned!" Slice-It exclaimed. Pedwick and Knock-It looked at each other. "I guess some Tools are slow learners." Knock-It said.
Revvit and the Tools waited outside the ravine entrance as Pedwick and Knock-It walked up to them with their Scraptool army. "You've returned. You're persistent. I'll give you that, Revvit." Pedwick said. "Last chance, Pedwick. Take Knock-It and your Scraptool buddies, and get out of our ravine." Revvit warned. The Scraptools all just laughed. "Uh, in case you didn't notice last time, Reptool, there's only 8 of you and a whole army of us." Knock-It said. "Oh, we know. That's why we brought our friends." Xee said. And then, all of the Tools came into view and joined their friends. Pedwick, Knock-It and all the Scraptools were shocked by this. "Surprised to see us, Pedwick?" Grouter asked. "Again, you Reptools are foolishly blind to work beside a Reptool like Revvit." Pedwick said. "And that goes to show why you no longer live in the ravine, Pedwick." Waldo said.
That made Pedwick mad. "GET THEM!" He shouted. The Scraptools charged. The Reptools charged back, colliding with their scrapping enemies. The Scraptools put up quite a fight, but the Reptools were much more skilled. Slice-It swatted one of the Reptools with his tail, but Tik-Tik managed to grab him by it and spun him around before tossing him away. Clamp-It came running, ready to slash any Reptools with his tail. But then a couple Towaconstrictors slithered up and hooked their hooks on Clamp-It's hindlegs and tripped him. Then they coiled up around him. "I need a new job." Clamp-It said. One of the Ottos was pinned down by another Scraptool. But just then, Spinz swooped in, picked up the Scraptool and dropped him from up high. "How'd you like the view, Bolt-Breath?" She called. Waldo swatted a couple of Scraptools with his tail. But just then, there was a thumping sound. Waldo turned and saw Scrug coming towards him, pounding his hammer. "Oh, that's not good." He said. But then Dil and Taziri jumped in between them. "That's far enough, Scrug." Dil said. Scrug just sneered, pounded his hammer and charged. "Okay. You are in for a shock." Taziri said, readying her tazer. But as she charged in, Scrug just bashed her aside. But then Dil jabbed him with her drill. "Nobody! Hurts! My friend!" She shouted as she jabbed the Scraptool several more times. Scrug then tried to grab her with his hammer. But then as she tried to jab him again, he caught her. He chuckled as she struggled to get loose. But then Scrug got shocked and fell unconscious. Taziri smiled as she stood over him. "Thanks, Zi." Dil said. "No problem. He'll be waking up with a real shock." Taziri said.
Meanwhile, Revvit fought off a few Scraptools. But soon, he came face-to-face with none other than Pedwick. "I was hoping I'd get the chance to take you down, Revvit. Once you're gone, these Reptools will see that working with Dinotrux is not the way of the Reptool." Pedwick said. "We shall see who's right and who's wrong, Pedwick." Revvit said. All the Tools stopped fighting just in time to see the main event. Everyone gathered just as Revvit and Pedwick circled each other. Pedwick made the first move and leapt at Revvit. But Revvit managed to flip him onto his back. Pedwick got back up and turned around with his tongue out, hitting Revvit in the face. "Hey! That was cheating!" Click-Clack accused. "I think that was the idea." Waldo said. "That's it, Peddy! Get him wear it hurts!" Knock-It called. Pedwick then headbutted Revvit, hurting him even more with his bitts. Revvit groaned in pain as Pedwick stood over him. The Reptools all shouted for him to get up. "It's over, Revvit. You may have been able to triumph over threats like D-Structs and Scrap-It, but we're now a force that's even stronger than them." Pedwick said. "Perhaps. But you overlooked one piece of information." Revvit said. "And what's that?" Pedwick asked. "I always bring all of my friends." Revvit said.
And just then, there was a loud roar. Everyone turned to see the Dinotrux heading towards the fight. "THE DINOTRUX! RETREAT!" Clamp-It screamed. The Scraptools all turned and ran with their tails between their legs. "No! Stop! Stay and fight, you cowards!" Knock-It yelled. But the Scraptools kept on running. Even Scrug was retreating. Pedwick just growled and turned back to Revvit. "I don't need an army to take you down." He said. "But what about taking us on?" Ty asked as he and the Trux joined the Tools. "You never did get it, Pedwick. When Trux and Tools work together, there's nothing we can do. Including taking down bad guys like you." Revvit said, swatting Pedwick in the face with his tail and knocking him down. "Peddy!" Knock-It cried, rushing to her mate's side. Pedwick recovered as the Trux and Tools slowly converged on them. He grunted, seeing that he and Knock-It were outnumbered. "This isn't over. We'll be back, Trux." He said, taking off with Knock-It following.
Afterwards, all the Tools slowly begun to repair all the damage Pedwick and the Scraptools made. "Well, Tools, looks like we've saved the day once again." Revvit said. "Saved the day?! Do you have any idea how long it's gonna take to clean up this mess?!" Waldo asked while ranting. Ace, Xee, Dil, Taziri and Spinz Just looked deadpanned as he continued ranting on about the mess. "What do you girls say we go home and grab some ore?" Xee asked. "Best idea I've heard all day." Ace said as they turned to head back to the garage. Waldo was too busy ranting to Revvit and Click-Clack to even notice.
Meanwhile, Pedwick was walking in circles back at the scrap field. "We were so close. If only those Trux hadn't come along and scared off our army!" He exclaimed. "I too share your pain, Pedwick. I've suffered a few defeats myself to those Trux. But we'll get another shot. We always do." Knock-It said. Pedwick just sighed. "No, Knock-It. I've actually been thinking. If I'm ever gonna face them again, perhaps it's time for me to try something new." He said. "What'd you have in mind, my love?" Knock-It asked. "Where do those Bad Trux live?" Pedwick asked. Knock-It smiled, knowing what her mate was planning.
