Scrapyard Of Ripper, Two Hours After Leaving The Valley…

Near the entrance of the scrapyard, a dispute was being made by three scraptors, Ripper, AI scraptor and Scottish scraptor. Ripper looked at the two other scraptors in absolute fury.

"He was doing what?!" Ripper yelled at the other two scraptors.

Scottish scraptor reluctantly spoke next. "Aye. We can't explain it Ripper. He just spouted something about it being complicated and that you need to meet him this afternoon, then we had to get out of there."

Ripper was even more infuriated. "So not only is he trying to escape our clan, he also thinks he can give ME orders?! I'm Gobsmacked! How infuriating!"

AI scraptor asked the obvious question. "Does Ripper request that we capture him?"

Ripper managed to calm down enough to think for a moment. "No. I'll play his game for now and talk to him myself, if he's still alive. You two are to come with me."

"Aye, Ripper."

"Affirmative, Ripper."

About Two Hours and Five Minutes Earlier, Ankylodump Territory…

"Dudes. Do you hear that?" A blue ankylodump, Half-Ankylosaurus, Half-Dumptruck, asked his three compadres. They all perked their heads up. There was a series of roars coming from somewhere else in the valley. One was a T-Trux, probably D-Structs, the other sounded like a scraptor. "That's soooo weird." The ankylodump commented. The others agreed.

This bodacious dinotrux was known as Ton-Ton. He was a totally chill dude with surfer lingo and a great attitude. Being reckless and excitable, his favourite activities were racing, speeding and jumping ramps. So when it comes to this Ankylodump, you know he's a riot to hang out with.

And right now, he was listening to the strangest thing he had ever heard. A T-Trux roar that kept being followed by a scraptor roar.

"What do you think it is?" Another ankylodump wondered.

"I don't know dude, but I say we check it out. Maybe D-Structs is getting his tail kicked. I soooo want to watch that!" Ton-Ton replied excitedly.

"I thought you were the one not wanting to mess with that guy?" A third ankylodump asked.

"Dude, I'm not saying we should fight him, I'm saying we watch. If he comes at us, we make a run for it."

The other ankylodumps looked at each other and decided to agree. Together, the four of them began making their way towards the noise.

About The Same Time, Lands Of The Dozeratops…

Another group that heard the noise were three Dozeratops, Half-Triceratops, Half-Bulldozers. One of them was a dinotrux creatively named Dozer.

Full of power and full of hot air, this grumpy dinotrux is one you don't mess around with. With his Dozeratops blade at the ready, he's direct, he's touchy, he's good at what he does, but under that tough exterior is a kind soul who cares about those around him, even if he doesn't show it.

He and two other Dozeratops could hear a constant roaring, one from a T-Trux, the other from a scraptor.

And it was driving Dozer crazy.

"Uhhg! I don't know what's going on over there, but it needs to stop!"

One of the other Dozeratops spoke next. "I know right? It's bad enough that D-Structs roar puts us on edge, but a scraptor too? It's madness!"

"Madness?" Dozer looked at him. "This, Is, ANNOYING! Let's find out what going on. C'mon!"

So the three Dozeratops began making their way to the noise as well.

A Minute Later, Near The Craneosaur Part Of The Valley…

"That's not surprising, it's INSANE!" the reptool yelled in shock. Still riding on and talking to Ty as he followed Skya to this scraptor friend of his, Revvit couldn't believe what he was hearing. Not only was Ty not planning to leave, not only did he want to fight D-Structs, he ALSO wanted to recruit the other dinotrux and have them, he and himself fight D-Structs together. Seriously, what was Ty thinking?! "Dinotrux don't work with each other, let alone reptools."

"Oh yeah? When I was in the desert, I saw two craneosaurs actually risk their lives to save another one."

"They're in the same herd! Different species don't work with each other."

At this point, Skya stopped to give her 2 cents. "Yeah, he's got a point there Ty. No two species would ever think about helping the other one."

Ty had stopped too, Revvit jumping off to stretch his legs. "Revvit did. He fixed my tread."

Revvit looked up at the two dinotrux. "I was repaying you for the ORE."

Ty looked back at Revvit. "And don't you think everybody would like to enjoy all this ore in peace? If we work together, it could happen."

Revvit hated to admit it, but there was truth to Tys words. "I believe you may be right." He said.

"Yes! Tail bump!" Ty cheered, turning himself and lowering his ball to Revvits level. He hadn't done one of these in AGES. Revvit just looked at him. "Aww, c'mon. You know you want to."

"You are the most unusual T-Trux I have ever met." Revvit commented, pointing the end of his tail at Tys ball.

"You can say that again." Skya said to herself.

Revvit hit the ball as Ty tried to carefully swing it towards him, but accidentally hit him, making him fly backwards. Thankfully it wasn't too hard, and Revvit was right back up.

"We'll work in that." Ty said sheepishly. Revvit jumped back on Ty and they kept following Skya to the craneosaur hangout.

When they saw it in sight, Skya said she would go on ahead to inform the others. Ty and Revvit agreed.

As she made her way to them, she called out "Hey guys! I found the cause of the noise." They turned and saw the T-Trux. Their eyes went wide.

"Another T-Trux?! Are you TRYING to kill us Skya?"

"No, if I WAS, I'd have brought D-Structs. Listen, I know this may seem irrational of me, but this guy says he knows the Scraptor that's eating our ore. So you can either show him the scraptor and see what happens, or you can reject him and let the scraptor possibly eat all our ore then rip us all apart. Your choice."

With a statement like THAT, the response from the others was immediate. They backed off and gave the T-Trux room to move. Skya gave the ok, and Ty and Revvit made his way past them. When they got the rock wall, they saw a greyish white scraptor eating something on a rock jutting out of the cliff. Probably ore. Craneosaurs are known to hide their ore on cliffs where other dinotrux can't reach them.

Revvit noticed from the corner of his eye the other craneosaurs looking at them with a mix of hope and fear on their faces. Let's see if Ty was right.

Ty called out to the scraptor. "Hey Scratch."

The figure froze, looked over the edge and saw the two of them standing there. There was a pause, and the Scraptor suddenly roared and jumped of the platform onto Tys head. Thankfully Revvit managed to get out the way in time. He jumped down to Tys tread cover and watched the sight unfold before him. He expected to see the scraptor ripping his friends head apart. Instead, he watched in amazement as the scraptor held onto Tys head and lovingly rubbed his head onto his. Was the scraptor actually showing… affection?

Ty was laughing and putting his head to the ground. "Alright, alright, down boy." The scraptor got off Ty and looked at him as he spoke. "Good to see you're alright. How are you feeling?" In response, Scratch gave his head another hug. "Heh. I missed you too buddy."

Once Scratch let go, again, Revvit finally spoke since he had come here. "So Ty, is this the one you call Scratch?"

Ty looked back. "Sure is." He looked between Revvit and Scratch. "Scratch, this is Revvit. He's a reptool I made friends with. Revvit, this is Scratch. He's a friend I made just before my valley got destroyed."

Scratch came up to Revvit to examine him more closely. He looked like a mix between a lizard and rotary drill. As he did, Revvit said to Ty, "You named him a friend yet he cannot speak English."

"Yeah. I don't really want to call him a pet, because he can still understand us, even though we can't understand him." Scratch nodded his head in agreement.

Revvit thought for a moment. "I suppose that makes sense. Even so, as we have just seen, the other dinotrux will not be happy with his presence."

"I figured. It was a good thing I found him before anyone else noticed. Don't worry about it. Once we kick D-Structs out of his territory, he'll stay with us. It should be far away enough from the other dinotrux territories so we should be fine."

"This is true." Revvit agreed.

"Excellent. Now, you two get cozy with each other. I'm going to talk to Skya." With that, Ty rolled past the other amazed craneosaurs until he reached Skya.

"Hey, how did the reunion go?" She asked as he approached.

"Pretty good. We're back together at least." Ty replied. "So, what do say about taking on D-Structs with the other dinotrux?"

"I will admit, I'm still a little skeptical about dinotrux working together. But I suppose you made friends with a reptool and a unique scraptor. So…" Skya gave it some thought.

At That Moment, Approaching Nearby…

Four ankylodumps drove up onto the scene and saw something none of them expected. There was a red T-Trux that they'd never seen before talking to a craneosaur.

"Dude, what do you think is going on?" asked Ton-Ton.

"I don't know. And I wouldn't know since I've never seen two species of dinotrux talk to each other."

"Good point. Let's check it out." Ton-Ton encouraged, rolling forward.

"Uhh, you go ahead. We'll wait here in case we need to save you."

"Whatever you say dude."

With just a touch of doubt in his movements, Ton-Ton headed towards the conversation.

What Happened Next…

Revvit was asking Scratch some questions from behind the group of craneosaurs, who had gone back to work and socializing. "So you and Ty are actually friends?"

Scratch nodded.

"Ok. I guess that's the best answer I'm going to get. And you're not going to harm us?"

Scratch quickly nodded again.

"Right. Well, I suppose if Ty trusts you, I'll-." Revvit stopped as Scratch was not looking at him. He was concentrating on what was going on behind the group of craneosaurs. Revvit turned to see 4 ankylodumps heading towards their position. He quickly made his way towards Ty to tell him.

Skya was still talking. "You know what? I'll give it a shot. But you're going to have a lot harder time convin-"

"Ty." Skya was interrupted by Revvit and looked over. The reptool jumped onto Tys tread cover. "We've got company." He pointed over to the ankylodumps. One of them was approaching. The two dinotrux turned to face him.

"Hey dudes. Me and my buds heard some crazy stuff. What's going on over here?" The ankylodump asked. He noticed a reptool on the T-Trux. "And dude, you got a reptool on you."

"Names Ty. Sorry for the noise, I got into a fight with D-Structs. Anyway, I'm glad you're here. I wanted to talk to you about teaming up against him."

"Pft, are you kidding? I'm not messing with that dude."

Revvit spoke next. "I know it sounds crazy, but it could be an effective plan."

The ankylodump responded with a voice like he was high. "Dude, the reptool is talking to me now."

Ty mimicked it to get onto this dudes level. "Dude, the reptool has a name. It's Revvit. We're partners on this."

The ankylodump couldn't believe it. "A T-Trux and a reptool? No way."

Skya then spoke. "I know right? I didn't believe him either, but it's true. They're actually working together to take on D-Structs. And to be honest, I am too."

"Woah. A T-Trux, a reptool and a craneosaur? This is one weird group dude."

"Yeah? You haven't even seen our strangest member yet." Ty said. He turned to Scratch, watching the conversation, and waved him to come towards them.

Scratch had to admit, he wasn't so sure about it. Hanging with one dinotrux? That's fine. But three dinotrux and a reptool? Because of his life of mostly solitude from others because of his mother, this was getting too crowded for his taste. Plus, Ty and Revvit was saying that he was a freak who was also known as a danger. How could he ever approach them?

The ankylodump was looking to where Ty was pointing, and his eyes went wide. "Dude, is that a-"

"SCRAPTOR!" The sudden shout made the 4 conversers jump. The other ankylodumps were still standing around and watching them, and thanks to Ty, had now noticed the scraptor watching in the distance. The response was immediate. They turned tail and made a drive for it.

But they were immediately stopped by three Dozeratops appearing on the scene, almost crashing into them. "Woah! Watch where you're going!" The lead dozeratops yelled. Then he noticed the T-Trux and scraptor. "Hey, that's not D-Structs."

"Now there's a second one?" Another one added.

"And a scraptor." A third one said.

The first dozeratops gave the order. "Let's see if we can scare'em off. Outta the way, you three." They drove past the ankylodumps and charged towards the red T-Trux.

As the dozeratops approached, Skya leaned towards Ty. "Remember when I tried to say you'll have a harder time convincing the others? Those guys are what I'm talking about."

Ty braced himself. "They definitely don't look like the welcoming committee, do they?"

The dozeratops charged forward at high speeds and managed to bash into Ty, pushing him backwards. They 180ed at pointed back towards him. "You need some help with that?" Skya asked.

"I got this!" Ty assured, then turned to the three chargers. "Come on, back off! I'm just here to talk."

"I don't talk, I do!" The front dozeratops taunted. Then all three of them lowered their blades and charged again. But they never reached the T-Trux, as the scraptor suddenly drove in front of Ty, trying to block their paths. They stopped dead, not expecting it to seemingly block their paths. The two back dozeratops actually started to reverse after seeing the situation before them.

Scratch was furious. All Ty was trying to do was apparently negotiate peace to go after someone called D-Structs, and these hot-headed dozeratops, as Ty called them, wouldn't listen. Why couldn't he be in one world where everyone actually listened to other?!

Ty himself took Scratchs sudden arrival as a cue to try to talk again. "Well go do it somewhere else! I don't wanna fight!"

The front dozeratops didn't back down though. "One T-Trux is bad enough! We don't need two, let alone a scraptor! All of you will end up destroying this crater!"

Scratch made a ferocious ROAR in response. Skya then got involved. "You may want to listen to him. He-"

"Stay out of this, craneosaur!"

"Don't talk to our kind like that!"

"Maybe we should trust them Dozer."

"No! We can't let them stay here! They'll ruin this place!"

"Dudes! Just calm down. We can figure this out!"

"Seriously Ton-Ton?! You can't reason with a T-Trux and a scraptor!"

"His name is Scratch!"

"We don't care! He's still a scraptor!"

"He's a harmless scraptor. Take it from us!"

"No he's not! Scraptors are dangerous! Get him out of here!"

And just like that, everyone was involved in a verbal war with everyone getting closer to each other with each insult. The only ones not arguing were Revvit, not wanting to get involved, and Scratch, because he couldn't speak English. And because he wasn't feeling well…

Revvit looked around at the situation before him. All the species were fighting, some even among themselves. JUST LIKE HE HAD TOLD TY.

"Honestly, how can Ty ever think this would work? It's clear that they can't talk and convince each other anything, so how-"

At this point, his eyes fell on Scratch. All lines of thought suddenly stopped as he realised something was wrong with Scratch. He couldn't ask over the noise, he could only watch.

Scratch had his head in his arms and was shaking. VIOLENTLY.

In Scratchs mind, all he could hear was arguing. Arguing because people wouldn't listen to him. Arguing because people thought they knew best. Arguing because it was all or nothing with them. His mother, his classmates, some of his friends, his relatives, it was all coming in a storm of hate. His eyes literally turned red. Smoke was pouring out of his pipes. The power levels inside him were going into overcharge.

And like a hammer to a piggy bank, his patience finally broke.

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

It was the most defining roar any dinotrux could ever imagine. Imaginary ears were covered. Eyes snapped shut. And the roar went on for five seconds.

At D-Structs Territory, Where The Trees Grew…

D-Structs looked around for any sign of the red T-Trux that had passed onto his land earlier. It looked like he was gone. The question was, is he completely off his territory?

Then a sound came to him. It sounded like a scraptor. He knew they were around, but he had never heard one that loud before.

In any case, there seemed to be one on his territory, so he made his way to the roar to find where it came from.

Back At The Craneosaur Hangout…

When the roar was over, the dinotrux looked towards Scratch. And he wasn't the same scraptor they had seen a moment ago. His blue eyes had turned red. There was a noticeable amount more smoke coming from the pipes on his back. And to top it off, he and his motor was shaking like a box of metal in an earthquake.

No longer thinking properly, Scratch looked with vengeance at the dinotrux. The reactions were predictable. The three ankylodumps in the distance made a run for it, as well as the dozeratops behind the one they called "Dozer". He stood his ground pointing straight at Scratch. The craneosaurs, except for Skya, backed into the wall in fear. Even the centre group, Ty (still carrying Revvit), Skya and the one called "Ton-Ton", rolled away a metre or so from the scraptor.

"Uh, Scratch?" Ty said. He didn't respond. He just looked at the three dinotrux then turned his attention back towards Dozer, who started this fight, who didn't listen to anyone at all, who he needed to take out to shut him the fuck u-.

At that thought. Scratch became slightly more alert. No. He shouldn't think like that. This was his only opportunity to help his teamwork skill improve. And he still had Ty and Revvit. Surely they could help him. But right now, his head was burning and he couldn't think clearly. So Scratch did the only thing he could think of.

He turned and made a beeline towards… wherever. Wherever that wasn't here. He heard his name being called by Ty, but completely ignored it and bolted away. And he was FAST.

How long he drove for, Scratch didn't know. When he stopped, he saw he had come across a lake. As far as he could see, it didn't look murky, so it must be drinkable. And he hadn't had a drink in two days. It was amazing he wasn't feeling even warmer than he already was. In any case, he thrust his head into the water, and let the cool water wash over his clamp head.

Eventually, his eyes turned back to blue, the pipes emitted less smoke and the shaking was minuscule. He brought his head back out of the water to breath, then dunked his head again to get a drink. Remembering how some animals did it, he put his head into the water, levelled it to 90 degrees and lifted his head out while lifting it up so the water could fall down his robotic throat.

Feeling refreshed and a little calmer, Scratch sat down on the ground. He rubbed his metal hands on his metal head, and started to think.

"W… woah. I've never felt so… angry in my life. Oh god. I have such a headache. And this place probably doesn't have aspirin."

After resting a bit, he put his head his legs and started to cry. "(Sniff)… Why… why did I have to lose my temper like that… HOW did I lose my temper like that… Fuck, I'm lucky I didn't attack anyone… (Sniff)… Ty probably thinks I'm a monster. Just like everyone else… Everyone hates me. That's all there is to it. I was better off with… mother…"

As he sat there, watery tears coming from his eyes, begging for the strange woman to talk to him, someone else drove up to the lake.

"Dude? You ok?" He recognised the voice. In the argument, he was the one Scratch heard being called "Ton-Ton". Scratch said nothing.

"I mean, you're obviously not. I understand that." Scratch still said nothing. He heard large tires roll up next to him.

"It's just… Ty, your bro, he's worried about you." That made Scratch look at Ton-Ton. Even after his meltdown and showing his more dangerous side, Ty was still worried about him? Either he was crazy, or… he really DID care for him. I mean, Scratch knew he cared enough to show him how to live like a dinotrux, but showing worry after Scratch completely freaked out at the craneosaur hangout? In all his time at his old world, no one had shown him that much care and concern as Ty was.

And it seemed that Ton-Ton was the same, as he had followed him all the way out here to see if he was ok. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. He just had to keep pushing forward, just like he did in his world. For now, he had to get back to Ty. And Ton-Ton must have been thinking the same thing. "Cmon. Let's get back to him. I haven't known him for long, but he seems like a cool dude." Scratch nodded, got up, and followed Ton-Ton.

I'm Probably Going To Cheat Time Until I Can Expand This Next Scene, Please Stand By…

Despite calling his name, Ty watched as his scraptor friend sped off into the distance. And was it just him, or was he going faster than usual?

Ty couldn't blame him though. After what just happened, it was safe to assume that Scratch needed space to calm down. Something about what just happened struck a chord with him, and Ty swore he would find out what it was. For now, he was enraged with the one the dozeratops called "Dozer". All he had to do was listen to him, and he didn't. Now Scratch had flipped his lid and Ty had no idea where he was going.

He growled, his eyes now pointing daggers at Dozer. Ton-Ton carefully rolled up to him. "Dude, do you want me to trail Scratch?"

The T-Truxs eyes looked at the ankylodump. "Yeah. Don't let anything happen to him."

Ton-Ton nodded and quickly took off after the retreating scraptor. Dozer saw this and tried to go after him, but was stopped by Tys tail crashing into the ground in front of him. Not wanting to get involved in the inevitable conflict, Skya backed away and Revvit jumped off the T-Trux and got onto the craneosaur.

"You JERK!" Ty barked. "Will you listen for ONE SECOND!"

"Outta my way, T-Trux!" Dozer retorted, bashing Ty backwards. Despite that, the dozeratops was blocked from going after the scraptor again. "Fine!" He turned to Ty. "Looks I'll have to scare off the crazy one before I take out the dangerous one!"

"Bring it on!" And the battle commenced. Dozer charged again at Ty, but the latter grabbed the former by the blade with his mouth, and threw him away. Ty didn't want to fight, but if that's what it took to make this dozeratops listen, then he'll do it.

After a barrage of charging, pushing and hitting, Dozer made one last fast charge towards Ty. Un-expectantly however, Dozer missed again, couldn't stop and with a yell, ended up flying over a nearby drop.

Revvit quickly got back onto Ty and they looked over to where Dozer had flew off. Multiple stories below, he was using his treads to stay above a familiar black substance.

"THAT is tar." The reptool said. "This is really bad."

It was. Dozer couldn't move around in the tar, so he couldn't paddle out to safety. If he wasn't pulled out, the tar would have a quicksand effect, and he would sink to the bottom in a matter of minutes. "If I get out of here, your parts! And I mean TINY PARTS!"

"This is NOT the way to make friends." Revvit said.

"It was an accident!" Ty replied.

Dozer overheard them. "Are you talking to a reptool? You're crazy!"

Ty looked around for a way to get Dozer out, or at least give him some time. He noticed some platform looking rocks nearby. In a lightbulb moment, he went over to them and used his tail to dislodge one of them.

Revvit had no idea what he was doing. "Ty! I don't think smashing things is gonna solve anything!"

"I'm trying to save him!" Ty said through his teeth, and tossed the rock into the tar next to Dozer. As Revvit tried to get off, Ty got another rock from the pile and tossed that to the dozeratops too. He was trying to make a temporary floating walkway back to shore. It was no use though. The tar was too thick and the top of the rocks were too high, so Dozer couldn't reach high enough to get on. Not to mention the rocks kept sinking too fast. He turned to the craneosaur, who had come up behind him. "Skya, can you reach him with your hook?"

"He's too far out!" She replied. Just then, Ton-Ton had come back with Scratch and they rolled up next to her.

"Hey, what's that T-Trux doing?" He asked.

"Believe it or not, he's trying to save the dozeratops."

"Woah! Never seen a T-Trux do anything like that. Course I've never seen one work with a reptool either."

At this point, Dozer finally realised the T-Trux was trying to help and submitted to asking for help. "You know, on second thought, I could use a tread out of here!"

Ty and Revvit started brainstorming, starting with Revvit.

"We're running out of time."

"We need to build some way out to him."

"But it can't sink."

"What if the rocks were on something?"

"Like posts! That's what I was thinking."

Revvit jumped off and jumped onto a nearby rock. Using the drill on his head, he made the schematics for the build out to Dozer.

Ty looked it over. "Nice, but we should use trees there. Unless they'll sink too."

"Not if we drive them into the tar." Revvit assured. Dozer called over from his sinking place to make sure the dinotrux hadn't forgotten about him.

As he did, Scratch, who along with the other 2 dinotrux had heard the plan, and as much as he hated the dozeratops for starting the fight that set him off, started to think too. He went over to the reptool and T-Trux, who was telling Dozer they were coming up with a plan.

Revvit and Ty saw him come over and moved out of the way just in case Scratch was still feeling like he would rip something apart. Instead, they watched as he looked over the instructions. Among the measurements with strange writing that must be numbers in this world, there were three main components. The wide rocks on the top that would be driven on to get to Dozer, the rocks underneath each end to keep it supported and flat, and 2 trees also on each end that went into the tar to keep the rocks above it.

Ty would probably be getting the trees, but wasn't tall enough to drive them into the tar. That would be Skyas department. The driving into the tar will probably be done with rocks that weren't the wide ones needed for the top, so that's where Ton-Ton will come in. But what Scratch himself? How could he help?

Then, he felt something in his clamp make a "wur"ing noise, and when he opened it, a miniature drill came out of his mouth. Ty and Revvit looked at him confused, but then an idea came to Scratch.

Maybe he can mark the things needed in numbers and letters to show the different object and their positions. He had never felt so intuitive and helpful in his life. It had to be another feature of his new scraptor form. The drill too, which is what he was going to use to mark things. All he needed was the plan, which is what Revvit made.

So in a flash, he also started drilling into the rock and marking it. Revvit looked a bit shocked at Scratch seemingly messing up the plan, but it changed to realization when the scraptor was finished and he looked at the schematics.

The top rocks now had arrows pointing to them with the writing "A1-?" on the end, the rocks underneath had "B1-?" on the end of the arrows pointing to them, and the trees had "C1.1-?" pointing to the left tree and "C1.2-?" pointing to the right tree on the graph.

Markings on the schematics done, Scratch looked around. His mind started calculating at high speeds. The flat rocks nearby, the trees, the boulders… perfect. He went over to the flat rocks and marked on the first flat rock that could be used, "A1", then kept going with the other rocks.

Only Revvit understood what Scratch was doing. The dinotrux just looked confused. Ty was the first to ask. "Scratch, what are you doing?"

"He's marking the materials we need." Revvit answered. Ty looked over in surprise. The reptool looked back and gave an interesting look. "I think he's already figured out what we're doing and how. Incredible. Has he done this before?"

"I'm not sure." Ty said doubtfully. "Anyway, we should get moving too. I can get the trees, but I'm not tall enough to drive them down."

Skya came up. "I am." She proclaimed.

Ty looked over to her. "Great! What about the rocks?"

"I can hook you up. Hey ankylodump!"

Ton-Ton raced over in excitement. "Call me Ton-Ton!"

"We need your help Ton-Ton." Skya said.

"Does it involve crashing?"

"Oh yeah!" Ty encouraged.

"Dudes, I'm in!"

Ty gave the word. "Then let's DO THIS!" And work began!

While Ty grabbed the trees, Skya grabbed the rock Scratch had found to ram the trees into the tar. And once Ty had returned with one and put it into place, that's what she did. Revvit made the measurements, Ton-Ton threw the rocks to Ty, Revvit cut the holes in the rock, Ty and Skya lowered them into place, Scratch kept marking the next rocks. It was like a well-oiled machine.

Eventually, after lots of marking, throwing, cutting, ramming and placing, the walkway finally stretched out far enough to reach Dozer. Ty went across with no difficulty, and grabbed him by his blade again. Only this time, to pull him out of the tar, which had almost consumed him. It had definitely consumed his body.

Even so, Dozer still found time to be sarcastic. "Took you long enough!"

"I could put you back in." Ty said through his teeth, and kept pulling. But the tar was so thick around Dozer, it was taking all his strength and motor power just to keep him above its level.

The tar kept pulling the two dinotrux, Tys treads slipping on the rocks, and suddenly he was going over the edge. Ton-Ton saw Ty was struggling. "Dude, you're losing it!"

Revvit, on top of Tys head, saw the problem. "He's too heavy. Skya! We need your hook!" Then Skya was on the platform too. With a well-placed swing, she hooked onto Dozers jackhammer tail, and started to pull too. Ton-Ton grabbed her tail and pulled too. But even with all three dinotrux, Dozer was barely sticking onto the tar.

Dozer was both scared and annoyed, even if he only showed one of them. "C'mon you three! Pull like you mean it!"

"We're trying!" Skya yelled back.

Revvit looked back to solid ground, and saw that only one other piece of help was nearby, and it was the one who had been insulted by the one they were saving in the first place.

Scratch, arms crossed, looked sadly and coldly at the scene in front of him. This whole thing was causing mixed emotions for him. He was about to accomplish his first team activity here, but it was to save someone who had done nothing but bad-talk him since he had come to this valley. And now by the looks of the three dinotrux struggling and Revvits desperate expression looking at him, only his last amount of pulling power would be what saves Dozer, who even now, WHILE BEING RESCUED, was doing nothing but talking shit. Honestly, did that dinotrux deserve it?

In the distance, Revvit saw D-Structs approaching. If they didn't pull Dozer out soon they'd have to abandon him before D-Structs broke the walkway. So he turned to the dozeratops. There was only one thing that had to be done. "Apologize."

Dozers eyes turned to the reptool in confusion. "What?"

Revvit simply looked over to Scratch. "We need that scraptors pulling power if we're to get you out of the tar. But since you've taken the opportunity to harass him so harshly, you're only going to get his help if you apologize to him."

Dozer also looked at him. "Are you kidding? You want me to ask that SCRAPTOR for help?"

"It's either that, or you can take Tys suggestion of being put back in. Because we're not sticking around for HIM." Revvit replied, gesturing towards D-Structs.

Seeing him made dinotrux eyes go wide. Dozer looked up at Ty, still barely not being able to pull him out and looking at him with eyes that said "Your choice. Make the right one.".

And he did. "…Fine. Scratch, right?" Revvit nodded.

Dozer looked at Scratch, who was prepping himself to either fight or run from D-Structs, and took a breath. "Hey scrapt… Scratch." He looked over. "I… (Sigh). I'm sorry, alright? I shouldn't have attacked you so soon. It won't happen again. I'll try to listen to your friend next time, I swear. Now, you think you can help me get out of here? Please?"

Scratch looked at the dozeratops in doubt. Dozer seemed to have a genuine sorry expression. Key word being seemed. Hmm…

Dozer watched as Scratch turned away from him, head hanging down. The dinotrux were shocked, especially Dozer. "Oh come on, Scratch! I'm literally dro-"

The scraptor suddenly pointed his hands behind his pipe back and shot them at Skyas neck, grabbing onto just under her head. After looking to see he hit his target, he then planted his pointy tail into the ground as close to him as he could and released the metal around it. He bent his robot legs, getting into a ready position, and made a roar to the others.

"Get ready." Revvit told the dinotrux. A second roar. A moment of prep. One final loud roar, and with all his strength, Scratch reeled in his grabbers, kept his treads on the ground while hitting the boost and pushed off from his tail, all at the same time. Ty, Skya and Ton-Ton took this cue and made one last pull. This combination of strategy and power, combined with the pulling of all the dinotrux, finally lifted Dozer out of the tar. At Revvits signal, Scratch slowed down his treads to a stop, pulled his tail out and hands back, and laid down on the hard ground on his side to catch his breath.

With Dozer on the somehow still standing walkway, the three other dinotrux pulled his tared, stiff body back to firmer land, where Scratch was resting. And with him rescued, they grouped together to celebrate their success.

"Boom! Did it!"

"Awesome!"

"Absolutely!"

"Woo hoo!"

Dozer took the opportunity to speak. "Thanks. You saved my treads, T-Trux. Names Dozer. And seriously, sorry for how I treaded your scraptor friend. Forgive and forget?"

"Hey, as long as you don't do it again, you know it." Ty replied.

As they talked, Scratch got back up, having caught his breath after pulling his weight rescuing Dozer. Then, he saw another T-Trux pull onto the scene. He was big, grey and not looking happy. He carefully rolled up to him, examining him. He looked the same shape as Ty, but one notable thing was that while he had a mainly spherical wreaking ball, this T-Truxs ball had spikes on it.

D-Structs looked down, genuinely interested that this scraptor, probably the one he had heard before, was not immediately ripping him apart or running in fear. Instead, it looked like it was looking him over. He leaned his head next to its clamp head. "Hmm… you're not from around here, aren't you?"

The scraptor shock its head. So it also understood him, huh? Let's see if it understands this. "Well then, all you need to know is that my name is D-Structs and I'm the owner around here. So I want you off my land right now." The scraptor backed off in shock, then made a violent yell at him and got into a fighting stance, obviously saying no. "(Growl)… fine, have it your way."

Intros were going well with the four dinotrux and reptool. Ty, Revvit, Skya, Ton-Ton and Dozer had all introduced each other, and it looked like there were enough dinotrux to fight back against D-Structs, including Scratch.

Then they realised, where was Scratch? He wasn't lying down where they had seen him before, so where…

There was a familiar roar, and Skya was the first to see Scratch and D-Structs looking at each other face to face. "Oh no. Ty, your friend just met D-Structs!" She said with an urgent tone. This made the other dinotrux quickly look at the confrontation at the right time to see D-Structs turning and swinging his ball. Before Scratch could get out of the way, he was hit and flew through the air, causing him to crash into a nearby dead tree.

"Scratch!" Ty yelled, and quickly made his way over to him. Scratch had ended up on his back, and was trying to sit up.

After defying the one called D-Structs and getting ready to attack, Scratch watched confused as he saw the T-Trux turn, and before he knew it, he was flying backward before coming to an abrupt halt. When he tried to get up, his vision was blurry and disoriented. He thought he saw Ty next to him, but couldn't quite see him. He crawled backwards to find something to lean on, and did when he felt something touch his pipe back. "Uhg. Next time, don't engage with a T-Trux without Ty. Ow." He thought.

As Ty watched his friend lean on the tree he crashed into, he heard D-Structs behind him saying, "Your still here?"

Ty kept his cool. There wasn't any serious damage on Scratch, and he had the dinotrux working together. Now was his chance. "Why, were you missing me?" He slowly inched towards D-Structs, who was doing the same.

"I warned you." He said threateningly.

Ty stopped and still tried to make peace. "It doesn't have to be like this D-Structs. There's plenty of ore for everyone!"

D-Structs had stopped too. "I told you. I, Don't, Share!"

"Well I'm not going anywhere." Ty proclaimed.

"Neither am I." Revvit said proudly, still on Tys head.

"Me neither!" Dozer joined.

"That's good enough for me." Skya said, getting between Ty and Dozer.

Then Ton-Ton joined the line, getting on the other side of Ty. "Dudes, I'M always ready for action."

Finally, Scratch had recovered from his blow, so he joined. He got between Ty and Skya and made another loud roar at D-Structs.

The grey T-Trux loudly growled. He was facing a T-Trux, Reptool, Craneosaur, Anklodump, Dozeratops and Scraptor who had all banded together to go up against him. He didn't admit it out loud, but even he knew he was out-numbered and out-powered, so there was no point in trying to attack.

Ty, with his group of friend by his side, made his clear statement. "It's OVER D-Structs. I am may not be as big as you or as fierce, but I've got something you DON'T have. Friends." He indicated to his posse. "And you can't take us all." The group moved towards D-Structs.

But he wasn't going down so easily. He WOULD find a way to get the land back, but he needed time to think. So he made his escape.

"For now."

With that, D-Structs. roared, whipped his tail around, turned his back to the group, slammed the ball next to him, and in a puff of dust, disappeared.

The dinotrux looked to where he was. "He's GONE." Dozer gasped.

Skya sighed. "He'll be back."

"But we'll be waiting." Revvit said.

Ton-Ton had a different thought. "You gotta hand it to him though, that exit was pretty cool."

Strange looks were given to him, which were broken up by one of his parts falling off. "Whoops. Hehe, that's embarrassing."

"Not to worry." Said Ty. "I know a great repair guy." He indicated to Revvit, who jumped off. HIS attention however were towards the walkway out to the tar.

"Look at what we did!" He exclaimed. The dinotrux went over to the walkway, thinking.

Dozer could move normally by now, and he looked in interest. "I've dozed a lot of stuff in my time, but nothing that looks that good."

"Couldn't have done that by myself." Skya implied.

"Dudes, with a little angle, that could be an awesome ramp. Am I right, Scratch?" Ton-Ton asked.

Scratch nodded, planted his tail in the ground and spun his treads with a roar in agreement. The others chuckled at the scraptors antics.

Revvit looked over at his T-Trux friend. "Just imagine the things we could built together Ty."

"Now you've got the big picture Rev. Tailbump!" Ty agreed, putting his tail next to Revvit. They bumped ends without any problems, and the reptool jumped back onto the T-Truxs head.

They made their way off. Revvit exclaimed, "Now, let's eat!"

Ton-Ton piped up. "No worries dudes. Ore's on me tonight!"

Skya and Dozer yelled "In!". Scratch roared again.

"Dude, you eat ore?" The ankylodump asked the scraptor, who nodded back. "Cool! Aw, dude, isn't this awesome?! Having fun with your friends! getting some food! Come on guys, let's get excited!"

"In!" Ty then Revvit yelled.

About 3 1/2 Hours Later, Near The Cliffs…

Thanks to Ton-Ton, the new band of buddies found multiple rocks near each other that had ore under them. And there was enough for everybody. After eating, they went to the lake to get a drink and help Dozer get all the tar off him, which they did. After a few tweaks from Revvit, the dozeratops was running smoothly once again.

After THAT, they played multiple dinotrux games. Ty said they would be good for training up for future builds and when D-Structs comes back. They tossed rocks to goal lines like football (or soccer, depending on where you are), did capture the flag (or capture the rock in this case), had races (speed, climbing, jumping, you name it) and did dares on each other to push their limits.

And at the end of it all, before they would grab some dinner and get some sleep, they went to a spot near the cliffs, got into a circle and took turns talking about each other. Likes, dislikes, interests, experiences, stories, etc. Even Revvit really got into the discussion, telling the dinotrux what his home was like. It was great. For most of them that is.

During the day, Revvit was keeping an eye on Scratch. After having his meltdown causing his strange "Predator Mode" as Revvit called it, and having him get his tail handed to him by D-Structs from his reckless actions, the reptool told Ty he would watch him to make sure he was ok, which Ty agreed with. As he said, "Thanks Revvit. After everything that's happened to him, I'm concerned for him too. Ever since I met him, it seems like he has no idea about where he is, what things around are or even what he himself is." With such a strange line of speech, Ty promised he would tell Revvit what he meant when the time was right.

In any case, Revvit noticed that Scratch seemed to be trying to avoid the dinotrux games. All he did was sit next him on the sidelines while the dinotrux played. Sure he was smaller than them, but surely he would at least give it a try. Not only that, but he seemed to be a little tense and barely interacted. It's like he was expecting someone to come or something to happen. Guess it didn't help that he couldn't speak English. There were enough indications that he wishes he could speak English. There had to be some way he could help…

During the talk near the cliffs, Revvit noticed that Scratch kept looking away from the conversation and looking up at the top of the cliffs. Strangely, he was also indicating to the nearby lake, and seemingly making sure no one was watching. This needed further investigation.

Scratch couldn't keep his attention on the conversation between the dinotrux. He knew the scraptors would come back for him and demand an explanation for his behaviours earlier in the day and way he seemed to be running from the clan. Now, at the top of the cliffs, he saw three figures with blue eyes looking down at him. He indicated towards the lake, making sure no one was watching. Tonight, when the dinotrux were asleep, he would go to the lake to meet them. Hopefully that's what the scraptors got from his actions.

One thing was for certain though. This meeting will go one of two ways. With extreme luck that he's alive, or with his body torn to pieces by morning.

Fittingly long, emotional and dramatic chapter to end the three chapters based on the first episode of the series is fitting. God I had a lot of fun writing this. The sadder moments of this chapter is based on personal experience. Get furious with someone else because their an asshole, get depressed because the world sucks, need someone to get me out of the pit. Uhg…

Thanks to everyone who has supported the series thus far. I love you all. Hope you enjoyed this emotion filled chapter, and have a great rest of the day.

P.S. There seems to be some confusion with what I said in my last chapters P.S., so let me clear it up. I'm talking about a WRITTEN version of the dinotrux script, that way I can copy-paste it into the story when needed. I'm watching the actual show on netflix. Hope that clears it up.

P.P.S Seriously, tell me how I did with my more downer and sombre scene. This was the first time I tried writing something like this. Tell me if I need to add or edit anything to make it better.
