The Tower
I'm finally back at this.
I hope you'll enjoy!
"Revvit!" Xee exclaimed upon her arrival at the garage.
"Xee," the said Tool ran out in a hurry, not even stopping as he replied, "I am sorry, but Skya has spotted a strange light at the edge of the Endless Desert. We must check it to make sure it is nothing. But we will talk later," he jumped on Skya's tail and she drove off right away. Xee saw them catching up with other Trux a moment later.
...
Craneosaur sighed when they finally arrived at the source of light, "Are you kidding me? Another ridiculously tall tower of scrap in the middle of nowhere?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.
"Well, this time it's really more of a rock tower with scrap on the top, dude," Ton-Ton corrected her, staring at the shiny part on top of the rock stack.
"The question is. Who created it this time?" the green and yellow Tool nodded, pensively rubbing his neck with one of his front legs.
"I think we can write D-Structs off the list of suspects," Ty looked at Revvit, asking for approval of this statement.
"Indeed," Reptool gave a nod before jumping on the red T-Trux. "Skya, could you give me a hook?"
"Ha, like you've gotta ask," she grinned, tossing her hook to him with a grunt. And within a second, Reptool was launched to the top of the tall tower.
"Well, Rev?" he heard Ty's voice from down below.
"Intriguing..." Revvit quietly commented, analyzing the piece of scrap without touching it.
"Could we know what's so intriguing?" Skya smirked, it seemed she was the only one who'd managed to hear his comment. But instead of replying, Revvit took her hook and attached it to the piece of metal.
"You can pull it down... gently," he felt he had to add this last bit, just in case.
"Not sure how much I can do with this angle, Revvit so, you might want to hold on tight," she started carefully dragging the metal off the edge. Once he had no ground beneath him, Reptool started free falling. He pressed his eyes shut and started screaming. By doing so he'd failed to notice he'd stopped falling almost right away.
Ty snorted, unable to hold back a chuckle, "Um. Haha, Rev?" Trux tried to call him, but Tool still couldn't hear him.
"REVVIT!" Dozer shouted, making them all freeze in surprise, including the said Reptool.
Tool nervously cleared his throat, realizing how embarrassing the whole situation must've looked. He felt Skya's hook shook slightly, indicated she also chuckled.
Revvit's eyes narrowed in irritation, "Could you put me down now..." he looked at the Craneosaur, and on his surprise, she just nodded before she did so. He was especially thankful she chose not to mock him about that whole incident.
"Sooo, what is this, Rev-dude?"
"Judging by the state this scrap is in, I am 85% certain that this is an abandoned Scrapadactyl nest".
"And what about that 15%?" Dozer narrowed his eyes.
"It might just be another tower of scrap".
"Oh," yellow one nodded.
"If it was a nest, it's the tallest one I've ever seen," Skya stated, looking up.
"Hm..."
"What is it, Ty?" Revvit asked as he climbed on his head again.
"I was just thinking about what is it about Scraptor Valley that makes most of them want to live there," T-Trux shot him a suggestive smile.
"Um, that's cool, dude. But what does that have to do with this?" Ton-Ton asked.
"I believe Ty is suggesting that we turn this nest into a place that will be as suitable for Scrapadactyls as Scraptor Valley is for Scraptors," Revvit explained.
"Oooh, right," the Ankylodump nodded, "But why would we want to do that?"
"Unlike Scraptors, Scrapadactyls that live in here are scattered around the crater. So, if we could concentrate a high percent of crater's Scrapadactyls here, I estimate we could reduce the Scrapadactyl attacks up to twenty percent".
"I feel like that's a good thing. But what does any of that mean?" Dozer looked at him, as confused as everyone else.
Revvit shook his head, "If we could turn this nest into heaven for Scrapadactyls, there will be more of them here and less all over the crater".
"Well, why didn't you just say that?" Dozer exclaimed and the Reptool just rolled his eyes.
"That sounds good to me. Any plans to share, Rev?" Ty shot him an encouraging smile.
"Indeed," Reptool nodded, euphorically jumping down and on the nearest rock.
He explained as he etched his ideas in the boulder:
"We need to make the nest bigger in every way. It has to be taller and consist of more ledges on which we could build nests. It also needs to have a sustainable water supply and -"
"Hold on, hold on. How are we supposed to maintain water in the desert?" Dozer interrupted him.
"You have a point, Dozer. That's why it's a good thing that we are on the edge of the Endless Desert. Which means we have higher chances of finding the water we need," Revvit clarified.
"And then all we need to do is create an oasis," Ty finished.
"Precisely. We will need trees, a lot of them. Their roots will make the ground more arable and make sure the water supply does not dry out. As for the nests..."
"We'd have to make this a lot taller than it is now," Skya concluded, looking at the rock tower.
"That... is correct," Revvit nodded. His expression gave off a twinge of uncertainty as he eyed the tower from top to bottom.
"Higher than this?" Dozer shouted in disbelief, "But this thing is already taller than our light tower! How are we supposed to make it taller than it already is?"
"It will be a challenge," Revvit admitted.
"Then it's a good thing we love challenges," Ty encouraged him.
"Yeah, don't worry, Rev-dude. We'll just catch a few Superchargers and finish this before you know it. And then I'll have plenty of time to ride on those sweet desert ramps!" Ton-Ton agreed, whispering the last part.
"Hah. Good luck with finding any these days," Dozer commented.
"I am afraid Dozer is right, Ton-Ton, there are not any more Superchargers in the crater," green Reptool explained.
"Aw, bummer, dude".
A smile flashed over Revvit's face before he spoke, "But..." he jumped back on the rock where his plans were, "If we could get enough Trux to help-"
"It might not be so impossible after all," Ty finished his sentence for him.
"That will take an awful lot of Trux," Dozer stated.
"Good thing there's just that many in the crater," Ty smiled.
"Skya will go and talk to Craneosaurs and Gluphosaurs. Dozer, Dozeratops and Drillasaurs. Ton-Ton, Ankylodumps and Liftasaurs. Ty and I will get Cementasaurs and Stegarbasaurs," Revvit explained.
"Sounds good to me. Let's Trux it up!" Ty exclaimed before they all headed back.
I know this is short but it's meant to be an introduction so, I decided to leave it at this.
I hope you enjoyed. Comment, please.
