D-Stroy is lying on the corner until he hears a footstep or pede-steps.

Fowler: "Oh. It looks like someone is asleep."

Miko: "Aww, man."

Jack: "Oh, too bad." (Said playfully)

    Miko glares at him.

Ratchet: "We can't disturb someone in his beauty sleep. We'll come back later."

D-Stroy: "You don't need to... I was about to go to sleep, but it looks like you came here. So why?"

Raf: "Well, we just came to visit you."

D-Stroy: "Why would you guys want to visit me?"

Ratchet: "We came here to say Thank you for Bumblebee, Rafael, and Reptools from getting scrapped by those Scraptors."

D-Stroy: "No problem. But by the look of it. I know you came something more than appreciate it. Spill."

Miko: *Lean over to Jack.* [Whispering] "Wow. He's good."

Jack: [Whispering] "Too good."

Click-Clack: *Comes out of hiding and hesitates to walk towards D-Stroy.* "W-Well, since you knew about us and we thought you would let the Scratpors scrap us, but You saved us."

Ratchet: "What, we'd like to know why you saved our friend?"

    D-Stroy looks at Click-Clack and then back at everyone.

D-Stroy: "I'm not going to tell you."

Miko: "Why not."

D-Stroy: "It's a long, complicated story."

Miko: "Really, tell us about it."

D-Stroy: "No, kid."

Miko: "Please, D-Stroy."

D-Stroy: "No."

Miko: "Please!"

D-Stroy: "No."

Miko: "🥺Please, please, please, please, please!"

D-Stroy: "(ಠ_ಠ)" (To the others) "She's not gonna stop until I tell the story."

All: "😒Yup."

D-Stroy: [Groans] "Alright, fine."

Miko: "😁Yes!"

D-Stroy: "But are you sure you want to hear my story because I don't want to waste your time."

Ratchet: "No worries. We got plenty of time before our Team came back."

D-Stroy: "Speaking of Team, where is the other?"

Miko: "They went back to check out the Scratpor."

D-Stroy: "Wasn't that too dangerous when it's daylight."

Miko: "Oh, they'll be fine. And besides, what could go wrong?"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ton-Ton: [SCREAMS]

Dinotrux and Autobots are still in the situation on their servos; Scraptors and Scrapadactyls are still chasing them.

Drozer: [Grunts] *Whack the Scraptors off.* "OK. They are getting on my nerves."

Garby: "You're telling me."

   One of the Scraptors jumped on Garby's back.

Garby: [Yelps] "Hey, get off of me."

    Garby shoots his spike out where the Scraptor stands and gets it off his back.

Bulkhead: "Don't this thing ever give--"

    Before Bulkhead could finish the sentence, Scraptor jumped on him by surprise.

Bulkhead: [High-Pitch Scream] "U-U-P-P!" *Dive around frantically to get one of the Scraptors off.* "Get it off, Get it off!"

Ty: *Swung his tail to knock the Scraptors off his friends.* [Grunts] "You alright, Bulk?"

Bulkhead: "Man. A life flash before my optics."

Arcee: "Come on, Bulk. It can't be that--"

    Out of nowhere, Scrapadactyls grab Arcee and lift her in the air.

Arcee: [Yelp in Surprise]

Autobots & Dinotrux: "ARCEE!"

Skya: "Oh, no, you don't!"

Skya shoots out her hook, attaches to Arcee, and does a tug of war.

Skya: *Pulled Arcee with all her strength.* [Grunts]

Skya got Arcee out of the scrapadactyl grasp and safely set her down.

Arcee: "Thanks, Skya."

Skya: "No problem."

Ton-Ton: "Dudes! They're gaining on us."

Waldo: "Oh, no. We're done for!"

Skya: "What are we gonna do?"

Ty and Revvit tried to figure out how to escape from Scraptors and Scrapadactyl until Revvit noticed the familiar rock shape like a sharp nail sitting up.

Revvit: "Ty, look at that rock."

Ty: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Revvit: "My thoughts exactly."

Ty: "Yup. Everyone follow me, and we know where to hide."

    They all follow Ty and turn around the corner when Scraptors and Scrapadactyl turn the corner behind them, but they don't know they have run past the cave.

    Dinotrux and Autobots hide inside the cave as Skya peaks outside the open, watching Scraptor and Scrapadactyl run or fly past them.

Skya: [Sigh] "They're gone."

All: [Sigh in Relief]

Wheeljack: (To Ty) "How do you know there is a cave here?"

Ty: "Well, Revvit found a cave while we were going to check on the Scraptor."

Revvit: "While we are running. We saw the shape of a sharp nail sitting up. Ty and I knew the cave was near, so it's the only way to hide from Scraptors and Scrapadactyl."

Ton-Ton: "I'm glad you, Dudes, found the cave. And if not, we wouldn't become Scraptor and Scrapadactyl food."

Ace: "I'm with you, Ton-Ton."

Waldo: "You're telling me."

Optimus: "Indeed. I better contact Ratchet to open the Ground Bridge for us."

Ty: "Hold up, Optimus."

Optimus: "What is it!"

Ty: "Skya, are they still out there?"

Skya peaks out and sees Scraptor and Scrapadactyl still outside, searching for them when one of the Scraptor is near the cave. She quickly dives back before it can spot her and returns to the others.

Skya: "Yup. They are still outside looking for us."

Ty: "It's best not to use the Ground Bridge."

Revvit: "Ty is right. A scraptor and Scrapadactyl are attracted to shiny things; right now, we must wait until we're clear."

Wheeljack: *Lean against the wall.* "So, are you saying we'll be stuck here."

Revvit: "Possibly."

Wheeljack: "Greate, we'll be here for a while."

Revvit: "Don't worry about it, Wheeljack. They'll be gone once they are bored, eventfully."

Optimus: "I'll let Ratchet know that we are alright."

Ty: "That'll be the best idea. We don't want Ratchet and the others to worry about us."

When Optimus presses his audio to contact Ratchet, they hear D-Stroy's voice.

D-Stroy: /"Okay, everyone, make yourself comfy."/

Ty: "What the-- What's that D-Stroy?"

Waldo: "What on earth is Ratchet talking to D-Stroy."

Ton-Ton: "Maybe Ratchet-Dude might want to know the answer."

Miko: /"Why would we need to be comfy?"/

D-Stroy: /"Like I said, it will be a long story."/

Bulkhead: "Wait, why is Miko doing here?"

Dinotrux: "Shh."

Skya: [Whispering] "Sorry, Bulk. We don't want Ratchet to know that we are listening."

Bulkhead: [Whispering] "Sorry."

June: "D-Stroy, tell us a little about yourself."

D-Stroy: [Sighs] "Long time when I was the young T-Trux, I'm good and helpful for my family. My little brother D-Structs used to be curious and very energetic. My parents are amazing, lovable, overprotective, and extraordinary."

Fowler: "Hold up, your parent is good. I thought you and your family were cold and violent. No offense."

D-Stroy: "None taken. As I was saying, my parents were the greatest T-Trux. We always scout around to look for something to eat, and unfortunately, our parents show us how to find ore and help us learn how to defend ourselves from danger with a swing of our wrecking ball. While searching for ore, we saw another Dinotrux eating their ore, and my dad told us not to go near it. I asked my dad why, and he said we didn't want to scare them because of our appearance. And I asked again if we could ask them if they could share their ore. Dad said it would be a bad idea. D-Structs said what about if we could take their ore. Mother strictly said no. We asked why. She said it was the wrong thing to do. We don't want them to think we are terrorizing their home. And Dad said it was best to wait and hoped they'd open up to us eventually. My brother doesn't get it, but I understand. I don't want any dinotrox to think we are bad T-Trux. And I took my dad's word, and someday I hope all the species of dinotrux will be together and work together as a family."

Jack: "Wow, D-Stroy. Your parent made a wise choice not to disturb the other Dinotrux."

June: "Yes. They ensure you two don't cause any trouble and keep you both safe."

D-Stroy: "They sure do."

Miko: "D-Stroy, not going to be rude or anything. You said, a swing of our wrecking ball. I noticed your tail had a spike instead of a wrecking ball before our little friend removed it. Did something happen to your wrecking ball?"

D-Stroy: "😒I'll tell you more about it if someone hasn't interrupted me."

Ratchet: "You heard him, everyone."

The room went quiet.

Ratchet: (To D-Stroy) "Continue."

D-Stroy: "Anyway, one day, while our parents are asleep, I sneak into the Valley to find the ore for my family, but my brother must've woken up from his slumber. D-Structs wanted to come with me."

Ending Flashback

D-Stroy: "After that, Dad came back with D-Structs. He got covered in scratches; I'm relieved my brother is okay. But then, D-Struct was mad at me for thinking I abandoned him; he started to avoid me. We haven't spoken to each other ever since. I should've brought him with me."

Raf: "D-Stroy, it wasn't your fault. We know you didn't mean to leave him on purpose."

D-Stroy: "I know, but still."

Ratchet: "D-Stroy, you're not the only one who made a terrible decision. We have no choice but to leave Cybertron by the hands of our enemy."

D-Stroy: "Cybertron?"

Ratchet: "Long story, we'll tell you about it later."

D-Stroy: "Right." [Clear Throat] "A few days after the incident, We are almost out of the ore; Mom and Dad are heading out to find more. They say they'll be back for a while. When a storm appears, It pours so badly that our parents haven't returned yet."

Jack: "Did your parents ever be late when they return home."

D-Stroy: "No, they never did. I knew something might happen to them, so I waited for the storm to go out. 
When the sky was clear the next day, I told D-Structs I'd be heading out to look for our parents, but he still hasn't responded."

Miko: "Let me guess. Is he still mad at you?"

    Everyone except D-Stroy glares at Miko until she gets the answer.

Miko: *Raised her arms in defense.* "Just asking questions. Sorry."

D-Stroy: "No worries, kid. Anyway, I've been searching for them all around the desert for an hour or two, but I couldn't find them. I was about to go home. Then I noticed something shining, reflecting the sun, so I headed over to check it out, and then--" [Sighs]

Raf: "And then what?"

D-Stroy: "I've found them crushed by the boulders."

All: [Gasps]

June: "D-Stroy, I'm so sorry."

D-Stroy: "It's okay. I don't know how I will tell D-Struct when I tell him that we've lost our parents. When I arrived home, my brother wasn't there. It's like he disappeared without a trace."

Jack: "Have you been looking for him?"

D-Stroy: "Hardly. I've searched for D-Struct everywhere, but there's no sign. A few months passed, I was still searching for him, and I saw another young T-Trux. He's wandering around the desert, searching for something, and I notice he's alone without his parents. I'm guessing something must've happened to them."

Five minutes ago, the team heard everything about D-Stroy's story til they heard D-Structs had disappeared without a trace before he told him the news. They felt terrible about what happened to him and his family.

Dozer: [Sigh, Whispering] "Great, I hate to say this. But I'm started to feel bad for those two."

Ace: [Whispering] "Poor them."

Waldo: [Whispering] "Mm-hmm."

Garby: [Whispering] "Yeah. I didn't expect D-Stroy and D-Structs to have lost their parents like Ty."

Ty: [Whispering] "Neither do I."

Optimus: [Whispering] "Did D-Stroy tell D-Structs the news about their parents before you met him?"

Ty:  [Whispering] "We don't know. We'll ask D-Stroy once we get back to base."

Jack: /"Have you been looking for him?"/

D-Stroy: /"Hardly. I've searched for D-Struct everywhere, but there's no sign. A few months passed, I was still searching for him, and I saw another young T-Trux./

Ton-Ton: [Whispering] "Dude, did D-Stroy say he saw another young T-Trux?"

Ty: [Whispering] "Yeah, we heard it too."

D-Stroy: /He's wandering around the desert, searching for something, and I notice he's alone without his parents. I'm guessing something must've happened to them."/

Skya: [Whispering] "That young T-Trux sounds familiar."

Revvit: [Whispering] "It almost sounds like--"

Ratchet: /"Could you describe what the young T-Trux looks like?"/

D-Stroy: /"Well, the young T-Trux has red paint."/

Bulkhead: [Whispering] "Strange, the young T-Trux with red paint sounds like."

All: [Whispering] "Ty."

Everyone looks at Ty, who is surprised to hear this.

Ty: [Whispering] "😧What."

Everything went back!

To be continued!

Wha-a-at. Young D-Stroy saw young Ty from before. Oh, my Dragon! My mind is blown! What happened next? Stay Dragon Tuned and find out. Bye.👋
