Chapter Text
The secret base and the crater had been quite calm lately, even with the D-brothers still keeping them out, and with the dreadtrux.
it was strange, and Ty couldn't help but feel as if something bad was about to happen.
The sound of the Pteracopters flying overhead finally snaps him out of his thoughts.
"Hey Ty! meet us inside." Prop-Top yells.
"Alright Prop-Top! I'll get the others too." Ty yells back. "Hey Ton-Ton."
"What's up dude!" Ton-Ton says while upside down after doing a flip.
"Tell Dozer and Skya to meet me inside. The Pteracopters are back." Ty tells him
"On it, dude." Ton-Ton speeds off to get the others.
As Ty hurries inside he notices the reptools talking about repairs, but Revvit isn't with them.
"Hey the Pteracopters are back so hop on."
Ty rolled into the main hangar, the air buzzing with the sound of Pteracopters' wings. All four of them were already waiting, hovering low with tense, clipped wingbeats.
Prop‑Top was the first to speak.
“Ty, good—you’re here. We’ve got something odd to report.”
Nav's dipped lower, voice tight.
“We’ve been scouting the crater edges all morning. D‑Structs and D‑Stroy are out there.”
“Yeah,” Flapjaw added, “but they’re not doing anything. No traps. No ambushes. No plans. No picking on other dinotrux. Nothing.”
Ty frowned. “That doesn’t sound like them.”
“It’s like they’re… waiting,” Prop‑Top said, wings twitching. “They didn't even attack us when we got close, it's like we aren't a threat to them anymore."
“That’s the creepy part,” Nav's muttered. “They’re acting like something’s coming. Something they don’t wanna mess with.”
Ty’s engine rumbled uneasily.
“So they’re expecting an attack… but not from us.”
“Exactly,” Prop-Top said. “And they’re not preparing for it. They’re just… watching.”
"T-their skraptool is acting like he saw something he shouldn't have." Washout adds stammering a bit
Prop‑Top leaned in.
“Ty, whatever’s out there? It’s got them scared.”
Ty’s treads scraped the floor as he shifted.
“Alright. We’ll stay alert.
"What if it's something scarier than the dreadtrux?" Washout adds.
"I mean they have a dreadtrux, so why would they be so cautious like that?"
"Washout... Makes a good point." Skya says.
"We best get going." Prop-Top says "there's a storm on the east heading this way. And we don't want to be stuck here when it hits."
Ty driving forward a bit says.
"Then go Prop-Top, we can take care of ourselves."
As the Pteracopters fly away Ty can't help but feel worried again, cause now even D-structs and D-stroy are on edge. Dozer snaps him out of it when he says.
"If there's a storm coming make sure Ton-Ton is on the opposite side of the base."
"Aww! Come on dude. It was ONE time!" Ton-Ton says.
"Ty. If there's going to be a storm we should lock up the base." Xee tells him.
"You're right Xee. Alright trux get everything inside and cover the supplies tunnels." Ty yells to make sure hes heard and understood. Ty is about to say more when Waldo interrupts him.
"Wait! We can't cover the supply tunnel yet. Revvit is on a parts run to the ravine."
"Yeah he should be back in about an hour that's what he said at least." Ace adds.
"Oh I was wondering where Revvit was" Skya says.
"Okay then we will wait to cover the supply tunnel until he gets back. In the meantime start getting stuff inside and gathering ore, and other stuff we will need."
Ty looks at all of them and starts assigning jobs, but he can't shake the feeling that something is incredibly wrong and that it is nearby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~timeskip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Revvit was hurrying back, he knew there was a storm coming and that they would be trapped inside, that's why he went on a parts run, to make sure they had enough supplies.
He knows he's almost back to the renegade base.
As he neared the tunnel exit, the light ahead brightened from a muted glow to a warm, open shine. Revvit stepped out and noticed the trux were getting ready for the storm, Click-clack was the closest to him. He must have been waiting for me, Revvit thinks to himself.
"R-Revvit. you're back." Click-clack relaxes a little.
"Of course I'm back. I wouldn't stay at the ravine and you know it." Revvit says "mind helping get the parts inside?"
"Yeah I can do that! Let me go get some ropes to pull the stuff up." Click-clack says running off.
"Alright! Tell Ty I'm back while you're at it!" Revvit yells at him, he noticed Ty seemed off when he woke up, he probably should have told him sooner he was leaving but hey, danger loves the unprepared. He laughs a bit.
He looks back down into the supply tunnel and heads back in to drive the cart closer to the entrance. he hears voices getting closer and makes out Ty and Click-clack talking about... vines?
"Click-clack! You got the vines?" Revvit yells looking up to the entrance.
"Yup and I got Ty to help us too!" Click-clack yells back.
"Okay Rev! Just tell me what to do!"
Ty yells
"Okay Click-clack throw down the vines but keep one end up there." Revvit tells him, "then give your end to Ty, I will take my end and attach it to the parts so Ty can lift them out." Revvit knows Click-clack can do this, but Ty hasn't really done this before so he is mainly saying it so Ty knows what he is doing.
Click-clack throws down one end of the vine and Revvit grabs it and then ties it to the parts.
Click-clack gives Ty his end of the vine so he can pull the parts out.
Revvit finishes tying the knot on the vine and tugs three times before saying, "alright pull them up."
Ty began pulling them out and he carefully places it down on the ground, as he looks up Revvit hops out of the tunnel. "Thank you for your assistance Ty."
No problem Rev. now let's get these inside." He picks up the parts carefully with his jaw.
Revvit hops onto Ty, Click-clack following suit says.
"I think Skya is inside, we can get her to cover the tunnels."
"Good idea Click-clack." Revvit says
As they head inside and over to where the parts are Revvit notices Skya helping Ace and Waldo with shelves. Of course, he thinks to himself, what else would they be working on. He chuckles lightly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~timeskip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After they finished putting the parts away, Click-clack had went to ask Skya to cover the supplies tunnel. So it was just Revvit and Ty.
Revvit could tell something was bothering Ty so he asks him, "Ty how did the report with the Pteracopters go?"
Ty looks up at the little reptool on his snout and replies, "well it's strange D-structs, D-stroy, And Skrap-it are acting like there's a whole new threat that a dreadtrux can't handle."
Revvit looked at him as if silently telling him to carry on.
"They haven't been attacking anyone not even the Pteracopters when they got close." Ty continues "it's strange cause I just have this bad feeling that something bad is going to happen or already did, and I'm just not noticing the signs in front of me, you know?
"Hmm" revvit spins his bit thinking, "well I don't know what's up with them, but I do know more reptools have gone missing again."
"Wait what do you mean by Again? Is there something happening in the ravine that I don't know of?" Ty says worry etched on his face.
"Oh. we haven't told you?" Revvit looks slightly shocked before returning to that same face again when he's thinking, "it's been happening for years since I came to the Reptool Ravine actually, reptools go missing and never return. That's why they are scared to leave the Ravine and they thought it was dinotrux, or skrapters picking them off when on a ore hunt. But for the past three years Reptools have been going missing at night, no sound, or sign of trouble, no one knows what happens to them, and apparently similar things were happening to scraptools until most of them moved into the scraplands."
"And how long have you been in the Ravine?" Ty asks hoping it's not long.
"About 5 years, unless we are counting my time adventuring nearby the crater the 11 years. I didn't spend much time in the Ravine." Revvit explains.
Ty begins driving toward the main section of the renegade base, "wait, if you only spent seven years in the crater, then are you from the crater?"
" You got me." Revvit chuckles, "I'm not from the crater, remember awhile back I said I was tied to the back of a scrapter and went through the outlands?yeah well that's how I came to the crater in the first place."
Ty blinks a few times before saying "but you were a kid I thought when you got your fear of Rolladons and wasn't that in the crater?"
"Yes I was a child well more like teenager when it happened like I said I have been in the crater Eleven years Ty." Revvit tells him.
They finally get to the main area and everyone is inside.
"Okay have we got everything we need inside and dealt with?" Ty asks trying to forget about the feeling gnawing on him.
Everyone nods
"Supply tunnels are covered." Skya informs him.
"Ores on me dudes." Ton-Ton says.
"Water supply is good." Dozer tell him.
"All supply shelves are stocked in case of an emergency repair." Waldo says.
"Ace and I repaired all of the trux that needed repairs." Xee says.
All the fake trees are bolted down." Click-clack says.
"And we have restocked our supplies." Revvit says.
"Alright looks like we are ready for the storm." Ty says enthusiastically.
"Unlike last time." Ace mutters which earns a chuckle from Skya.
"I'm beat, see you dudes in the morning."
Everyone heads to there quarters to sleep but Ty couldn't shake the feeling something really bad is going to happen.
