Somewhere in the road In Hawkins

Steve, Robin, Zoey and Erica are hanging out just fine

Steve: hey, Zoe

Zoey: Yeah?

Steve: I know a cool place we can hang out after this

Zoey: Really? What is it?

Steve: it's a beautiful restaurant, it has a romanti---

Robin: he's just fooling ya, Zoey. Besides, I know a perfect place we can hang out

Erica: *giggling* This is hilarious

Steve: Robin, stop

Robin: why?

Steve: You're ruining my chance!

Robin: you're ruining mine!

Steve: Oh wow, it's my fault!? Wrong!

Zoey: careful! We're on a road!

Robin: Right sorry

Steve: sorry!

Then, their car starts to slowdown

Robin: Huh?

Erica: I think we ran out of gas!

Robin: what?!

Steve: NONONONONO dammit!!

Erica: dang!

Steve parked the car and they got out immediately

Zoey: I thought the tank was full!

Steve: Oh that, it's broken

Zoey: *sighs* shit..

Robin: Alright, I'll get the gas tank *she walks to the trunk and opens it*

All she see is food, supplies, bed materials but no gas tank

Robin: who forgot the tank!?

Steve:...

Erica: so, we're stuck here?!

Robin: Yep, all thanks to Steve The Hair Harrington

Steve: hey!

Robin: Because of talking Zoey, you forgot to bring gas!!

Zoey: hey!

Steve: to Robin Don't blame me! Maybe you can do it by yourself!

Robin: great, we're outta gas and the kids are nowhere to be found all thanks to you!!

Steve: Hey, I'm sorry!

Robin: Sorry doesn't help!

Suddenly, they see something crashed landed besides then and then crashes to a bush

Zoey: huh!?

Erica: What was that??

Zoey: idk, but i'm scared!

They see something moving behind it

Steve: I'll go look and see *He took a step closer to the bush and he barely sees a face* what the fuck!?

Robin: What is it???

Steve: It's a--

Suddenly, the creature burst out of the bush, screeching at Steve causing him to startle it appears to be a purple bird that looks like Alex's Fire Arrowbird form

Erica: what is that!?

Robin: Is that Alex?

Steve: No, I don't think so. His eyes are different

The bird calmy chatters at them and it has a broken wing

Zoey; woah...he looks wounded

Steve looks at the sky with caution before looking at the bird, then he got an idea

Steve: Let's help him

Steve and Robin first try to grab the bird carefully

Erica: What!? Are you crazy!?

Robin: it's a wounded creature

Steve: Listen, this guy is our only chance. We just have to help him! Now, get something he eats

Erica: *gets to the back of the car to get food supplies*

Zoey: Okay, he's a bird so he eats worms I'll get some Just wait here *sees a tree stump and manages to pull it away*

Later that evening, it was confirmed that the bird is really a Fire Arrowbird, but he's not Alex, he's actually a species, and his name is Torch, and yes, he can talk, and has a Scottish accent

Erica: so you knew that Alex freak and had two other weird creatures for friends?

Torch: Yes, now get me some worms! You know, the pink wiggly things that lived underground? Come on!

Zoey: found some!

Steve and Robin watches Torch demanding some worms to Zoey and Erica

Steve: Well, looks like he can talk

Robin: Ew, that is the most disgusting creature I've ever seen

Zoey: *hands the worms to Torch*

Torch: Ooh yess!!!

Steve: Let's talk to him, shall we?

Robin: sure

They approach him

Steve: Hi, I'm Steve and this is my good friend Robin. What's your name?

Torch: Torch, what brings you here to my nest?

Robin: Your nest!? That's our car!

Steve: and we were tying to find our friends

Erica: one of them is my dumb older brother Lucas

Torch: Oh yeah? And what am I gonna do with that??

Robin: maybe you could help us find them

Steve: Yeah, your wings could use some extra help and your bird's eye view will be useful. So, you in?

Torch: Hmmm... no. *spits a grub at Steve and laughs*

Steve: aw, come on!

Torch: There is nothing for me to help

Steve: But at this rate the kids along with Alex will be long gone!

Torch; Whatever, now get out!

Soon, they walk away

Robin: Great, our last option denies to help!

Zoey: wonderful!

Steve: *sighs* Let's just camp here for tonight, but I'm pretty sure our friend will turn up sooner than you think

Robin: whatever you say

Then, they set up their sleeping bags, changed clothes and went to sleep

Three years ago, Hawkins National Laboratory

Marcus is inside a room while Martin and a group scientists are outside. It's time for Marcus's experiment

Martin: Seven?

Marcus: Yes, papa?

Martin: it's time for your test, Release the rabbit

the Scientists open a small cage and out comes a small rabbit

Marcus just looks it and then looks back to Martin in confusion

Marcus: what must i do, Papa?

Martin: Kill it

the rabbit just looks at Marcus so innocently

Marcus: I can't

Martin: You must, it's part of the test. you are the predator, this is the prey

Marcus: But, I'm not a predator

Martin: you are able to become any dangerous beast you wish

Marcus: I don't want to be a dangerous beast to kill a rabbit, Papa. The rabbit did nothing wrong..

Scientist: He's not doing anything sir

Martin: *presses a switch to activate the collar*

Marcus yells in pain before turns into a wolf and kills the rabbit

Martin: good, Seven

Marcus: No... what have I done?

Martin: you passed your test, you should be proud

Now, they try something big, like a goat

Marcus stands there again as they sent a goat to test him again

Marcus: Please, papa, i love animals too much to kill them

Martin: Do it or I'll punish you

Marcus: *crawls and hugs Martin by the torso* please... *crying* no..

Martin: Seven, make me proud... *pushes him away*

He went outside and watch Marcus to do his thing

Marcus morphed into a large crocodile and killed the goat

The goat yells in pain while Marcus sobbed as he kept killing it

Martin smiles in triumph

Then, they send a bull, Marcus is now terrified

Martin: Now, how about this one?

Marcus: *instead morphs into a tiger and roars at Martin*

Martin: *glares* Seven

Marcus: *Roars*

Martin: *sighs and activates the collar*

Marcus roars in pain

Then, Marcus attacks the bull

Bull: *snorts*

Suddenly, the bull charges and attacks Marcus

Marcus: *morphs into a bull and locks horns*

Martin: Yes, show him, show us that you are a masterpiece

Marcus: *manages to pierce the bulls head with his horns*

Bull: *growls in pain*

Then, Marcus turns into a deer and kicks the bull's head

Bull: *growls and kicks*

Marcus: Ugh!! *turns into a leopard and jump on his pack, biting his skin*

Bull: *roars and tries to shake him off*

Martin: *grinning* you can do it, Seven

Marcus finally kills it and instead of roaring in victory, he just pants and regrets it

Martin: well done

Suddenly, a guard barged in

Martin: hm?

Guard: Some guy trespasses our property

Martin: what??

Guard: We saw him entering the building, we caught in the good time. What are we do with him?

Martin: bring him to me

Before the guard could do it, Martin has another idea

Martin: Wait, I know what we're gonna do with him

Guard: what?

Moments later, Marcus saw the man being dragged inside of the testing room where Marcus is

Man: let me go!

Marcus: *to Dr. Brenner* Papa?

Martin: kill him

Marcus: What?!

Martin: he is an intruder

Marcus: But-but--

Martin: do it

Marcus: I'm sorry...*turns into an Allosaurus*

Man: I HAVE A FAMILY

Marcus: I can't do it Papa

Martin: if he lives this whole place will be exposed, you don't want that, do you?

Marcus: I-, no, no I don't

Martin: then kill him

Marcus: I'm sorry *attacks the man*

Man: No NOO

Martin watches Marcus kills the man. He's impressed that Marcus is a successful test subject like Eleven

flashback ends with the Party arriving near an airport

Alex: We're here!

Mike: yes!

Fang Tooth: Alright, Speed. Disguise on

Speed: okie

Fang Tooth turns into a wolf and Speed turns into a cougar. Everyone is now ready for the flight to Russia

Meanwhile, back to the Scoops Troops

Steve and Robin are getting gas while Zoey, Erica and Torch stays behind

Zoey: are you finally going to help us?

Torch: Me? Help? Not in a million years. I mean, who are you? I don't even know you!

Zoey: I'm Zoey

Torch: Whatever

Zoey sighs and walks away and sat on a log

Erica: Say Zoey?

Zoey: yes, kid?

Erica: You okay?

Zoey: yeah

Erica: I think there's something going on inside your head

Zoey: what makes you say that

Erica: Well, besides trying to help, your problem is about Steve and Robin

Zoey: *sighs*

Erica: Right?

Zoey: yes...

Erica: Really huh? Tell me why

Zoey: they seem to be fighting over me

Erica: Yeah, no shit

Zoey: pretty crazy

Erica: But do you like one of them?

Behind them, Torch got up and checked his wing that has been broken. It looks stable now, he's ready to fly now. He prepares to flap his wings

Zoey: I'm not sure, I like both of them but I don't know if I had feelings for one of them

Suddenly, Torch flew past them in frightening speed, startling Zoey and Erica

Torch: Buh-bye, losers! Ha ha!

Erica: hey! Come back!

Zoey: Well, at least we don't have to give him worms anymore

Erica: but he could have helped us!

Now, Torch finally flies out in the air

Torch: Good riddance! *He kept on flying further away*

For few minutes later, he still kept on flying and fly above the airport

Torch: *mocking Steve* "We need you to find those kids!" *normal voice and scoffs* Stupid humans...

Suddenly, he felt pain on his wing

Torch: Ah, my wing! Ooh. If I ever came across that hunter, I'll pluck his rotten eyes out!

Then, he felt familiar presence

Torch: Huh, is that--? *his wing is starts to feel painfully* Ow! I can't believe I have to go back!

Few minutes later, he returned to the place where The Scoops Troops are. He screamed in pain before crashing down

Erica: hey he came back

Zoey: Oh great. I can't have another of his demanding again

Torch: Aaah! *saw them walking away* No! Wait stop! Wait wait wait! Let's talk about this! Come on come on come on come on come on! S-Stop! Stop right there! Just because I'm sort of a decent bird because I have to do what's right! Anyways, I saw those kids you keep talking about. They're on a place where big metal birds live. So, I did your help, can I have the worms...?

Zoey:...you mean their at an airport??

Torch: Yah, whatever you call them or something  *He sat back inside their car*

Zoey: Erica! He found them!

Erica: really?!

Zoey: Yeah! They're at the airport.

Steve: you gotta be kidding

Torch: Kids kids, that's what you bozos talk about. You can make one. Hey! I need my worms! Hello!?

Zoey: oh here *hands him the worms*

Torch: Thank you. Now, shall we start the road trip now?

Zoey: yeah

Steve: Wait, you're joining us now?

Torch: yep

Robin: Wow, what changed your mind, birdy?

Torch: cuz I saw them

Steve: And?

Torch: my wing's too damaged. I won't able to fly for a couple of days so I'm gonna tag along because you provide me for my diet and care

Zoey: fair enough

Steve: Alright, let's get this show on the road

the scoop troop then drive off

Torch: So, where you all live?

Steve: we live in Hawkins, Indiana

Torch: Oh, that is nice

Steve: thanks

Zoey: Well, where you coming from?

Torch: i came from the shifting planet. Transform Planet. Then, this shit happens and my friends and I crash landed in California then we met a girl name Max. Speed got a dream, so we ventured to your place to find our missing friend: Shifter and then some storm came and I got lost

Erica: wait, you knew my brothers girlfriend?!

Torch: Yes?

Erica: how?

Torch: She took care of us until she moves out. You know her?

Erica: only that she's Lucas' girlfriend

Torch: Oooh. She's now romantic girl, eh. Anyways, when I got lost, my wing got shot down and KABOOM!!!

Zoey: here you are

Torch: That is right, milady

Robin: hey! uchsay ayay umbday irdbay

Torch: Huh?

Robin: That's Pig Latin, bird brain

Torch: Oh, I thought Pig Latin is like, *snorting like a pig*

Everyone laughed, except Robin

Robin: idiotyay

Erica: are we there yet?

Steve: We just started the car, and we just drove off

Erica: oh

Torch: You have to wait, plump woman

Erica: hey!

Torch: What? I didn't do anything, plump woman

Erica: you called me plump

Robin: Well, you are plump. He has a point, for an alien bird

Erica: take that back!

Torch: Yeah, listen to the plump woman Robby hahahaha!

Erica: shut up!

Steve: You know, Torch, you're not that bad after all

Torch: thanks maybe you're not that kind of stupid human thing after all as well

Steve: thanks

Erica: Can we focus on finding those nerds now?

Steve: yeah, sure

Meanwhile for The Party

Lucas: we're here

Fang Tooth: Alright, let's get inside

they enter the airports main terminal

Mike: So, Nance, where are the tickets?

Nancy: right here, *shows* question tho

Mike: Okay what is it?

Nancy: Sure they'll let pets on?

Mike: Oh no

Max: Okay, we just brought a fox, a wolf and a cougar and they're NOT allowed!?

Dustin: what do you think?? There's no way we can get on that plane with them!

Alex: Maybe we can bribe them?

Speed: or maybe we can just hide in the metal birds pouch?

Alex: That's impossible! There's no way you three can hide inside the airplane's cargo and sneak in as well!

Fang Tooth: but we can try

Mike: But, there might be a way

Max: i don't know

Mike: There is! Marcus, up for another distraction?

Marcus: yeah

Later, the Party, Nancy and Jonathan enters the plane while Fang Tooth, Speed, Sly and Marcus are outside

Marcus: let's go

Fang Tooth: Alright, turn into something terrifying!

Marcus: *turns to a lion*

Speed: Hm, not that, how about the ones that lives here?

Marcus: such as?

Fang Tooth: A wolf or a bear or a bison?

Marcus: *morphs into a bear*

Fang Tooth: Perfect! Now, scare them!

Marcus: *appears before the men and roars*

They screamed in fear and runs away

Max: It's working!

Speed: great!

Fang Tooth: Now, let's move before they come back!

they quickly sneak into the cargo

Marcus: Alright *sees Sly slowing down* Sly?

Sly looked so sick and depressed

Marcus: are you okay?

Sly chatters at him

Marcus: You're hungry!?

Speed: you want something to eat?

Fang Tooth: Sly, we don't have some time to hunt right now!

Speed: that's right

Marcus: We have to go!

Speed: Wait! I found some berries here!

Fang Tooth: not the time!

Speed: No! Really, look!

Fang Tooth: Sly, come on

Sly walks inside and follow Fang Tooth with Marcus following behind

Back with the Party who took their seats

Alex: Do you think they'll be safe, Mike?

Mike: I hope

Max: Look, the cargo door is closing

Alex: let's hope they stay comfy in there

Nancy: Yeah

Pilot: *through mic* Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We are about to depart and fly to Russia

Alex: Jonathan, what's flying in the plane like?

Jonathan: pretty weird

Alex: How weird?

Jonathan: I don't know how weird
really but just relax

Will: sometimes, you get airsick

Alex: what?

Will: Airsick, similar to carsick

Alex:...I got an idea! *Morphs into Camou-Slime and slithers out of the plane onto the roof, there he morphs into Fire Arrowbird to stay with the plane*

Nancy: WHAT IS HE DOING???

Mike: he didn't want to get airsick, so he'll fly in his Arrowbird form

Max: He can't outfly a plane plus he doesn't even know if he had Airsick!

Dustin: True he might get tired! It's a long journey

Lucas: if I know Alex he's just a big sack of energy

Will: Yeah, he can run fast and fly fast you know, he'll be fine! I hope

As the plane flies, Alex nests under the Plane's belly

Alex: *sigh* This will work out

Elsewhere

The Scoops Troops arrived in the airport

Torch: Right there, that's where your kids are, you can thank me

Torch flies off to test his wings if they're now alright

Steve: all we need to do is find them

Robin: How?

Steve: Well, he joins us so we have a bird and he can help us find them

They watch Torch flying happily before he lands terribly

Torch: OW!!! Ouch!!! oooh *drags across the road*

Zoey: OW! Is he alright?

Robin: He's fine

Torch: And the Fire Bird strucks the landing! That's what the lady Arrowbirds called me, *sighs* good ol memories

Steve: Torch, can you help us search the kids for us? You can fly around the airport and spot them

Torch: Hmm, maybe... let me think about it...

They wait for his reply until they see him smile

Torch: Okay okay, I'll do it but for one condition

Robin: *sighs* ugh, what?

Torch: Zoey must make a story... about me! How super humble Torch finds the lost kids and saves the day with his trusty sidekicks!

Zoey: huh? Why?

Torch: Just want to be a legend I was legend back in Transform Planet and it was perfect until that fucking meteorite destroyed my fame

Zoey: there's things more important than fame

Torch: I know, right after this mess. I'll be a famous bird in no time!

Steve: Perfect, now find them

Torch snuck in and looked around, He flies above the airport, only seeing airplanes and people

Torch: hmmm. Kids What do they look like? Whatever, I can find them but did I just saw FT and Speed? *he searches through different places in the airport but no sign of them*

Torch: This is stupid I just saw them! *Then he realised* Unless..., no way *flies back to Steve*

Steve: did you find them?

Torch: Unfortunately,no

Steve: damn! You said they're here!

Torch: They WERE here

Steve: well where are they?!

Torch: Well, I couldn't find them anywhere which means they must've ride one of the metal birds

Robin: your kidding right?

Torch: I think so

Robin: *sighs* they got on a plane didn't they?

Torch: More like it *smiles*

Erica: Welp, we tried, let's go home

Steve: Ah ta ta ta ta!! Not so fast

Erica: huh?

Steve: Who said that we're gonna give up? No one! We must not disappoint Mrs. Byers and Wheeler. Now, let's get them and take them home. Torch, are you on my side?

Torch: Sure, I mean, at least I get to help this bozo

Robin: yeah!

Zoey: I'm still in baby!

Erica: Seriously??

Torch: let's go!

Erica: Fine, let's do it

They enter the main terminal

Steve: what plane you think they took?

Torch: Don't know

Zoey: Uh, Torch?

Torch: yes?

Zoey: How are we gonna get to the plane if you look like... yourself???

Torch:....*Morphs into an eagle*

Zoey: There, now how can we get you in??

Torch: What do you mean?

Erica: do they accept pets?

Robin: No, unless we have a permit for it

Erica: where can we get a permit?!

Zoey: We can't leave Torch here

Steve: Hmm maybe we don't need a ticket to ride a plane

Torch: hell, I can fly.

Steve: But you won't keep up. But I'm talking about how we get on a plane but maybe...

Robin: Please don't say 'steal'

Steve:... maybe we can steal one!

Zoey: no!

Torch: Yes!

Zoey: we'll crash!

Steve: We don't have a choice! We either save those shitheads or not

Torch: I'm on his side for this one

Steve: Thank you! Anyone??

Erica: no!

Torch: Alright then, go home

Erica: i can't drive

Torch: Just walk home! Walk home and let your brother die. gasp You don't want your dear old brother to die right? I mean, you're gonna leave now and your 'dumb brother' will die!

Erica: There's no way we're stealing a plane....

cut to Erica just looking at the small plane the Scoop Troop are prepared to steal

Zoey: this will do perfect

Erica: I can't believe I'm doing this... *enters the plane*

Robin: Well, don't you want to save Lucas?

Erica: yeah, but not be a criminal at the same time

Steve: Okay, how can I start this thing?

Torch: i saw how the humans started this metal bird up

Steve: Alright, tell me

Torch: they switch those buttons and knobs and steered using that stick

Zoey: Uh guys? We have company

Torch: huh?

They see some guards coming towards them

Guard: What do you think you're doing!?

Erica: crap

Torch: I don't wanna be in bird jail! *flew off*

Steve: hey!

Robin: Great! He leaves us again!

Zoey: damn

Erica: What are we gonna do now!?!

Then, they hear screaming

Zoey: huh?

It reveals to be Torch, coming back with gas. He spilled it all over the floor, blocking the security from his team. Then, he breathed fire at the gas creating a wall between them

Guards: *duck for cover from the flames*

Steve: You came back? Again? This time, loyalty

Torch: that's right I just can't leave you there

Robin: glad to hear!

Erica: Hate to be a downer but WE GOTTA GO! NOW!!!

Zoey: Take off, NOW!

Steve: How do you work on this again??

Torch: switch those buttons

Steve does what Torch says.

Erica: Look out!

Torch: I got it! *Torch fires his wing daggers at the guards*

Guards: watch out!

Robin: Time to fly now, dingus!

the plane moves forward and gets onto the runway

Zoey: Pull up! Pull up!

Steve: pulls the lever

Robin: Hurry you son of a bitch!!

The plane fully pulls up

Scoops Troops: Woohoo! We did it!!

Zoey: yes!

Torch: You did it, kiddo

Steve: whoo....wait did you just call me 'kiddo'?

Torch: sorrybbut you seem a junior to me, a rookie
