DinoTrux:New Alies

D-Structs

I didn't think I'd ever think about my mom ever again. But, there I was, in deep thought as me and Tiara cuddled without a care. Now I was sleeping with Skrap-it on my head and Tiara next to me. Memories that I'd tried to get rid of a long time ago krept back into my head.

D-Structs is a kid in this memory.

"Hey look!" yelled a craneousaur in a group of other dinotrux. "It's that weak t-trux!"

"Let's get him!" yelled a ankylodump from the group.

I was drinking some water from the lake, being careful not to fall in. I didn't even notice the other trux until it was too late.

"Hey freak!" said the craneousaur, now right behind me. "What is it? Is the wittle baby t-twux afwaid of water?"

Then they all started laughing and I softly growled.

"Leave me alone, Hook." I mumbled with gritted teeth.

"Oh, I'll leave you alone when I want to leave you alone." he growled. "Beds, Blades, take care of him."

The ankylodump and the dozeratops moved closer to me, chuckling with sinister smiles on their faces. I nervously panted as I drove a bit back. I stopped. If I drove any further, I would fall straight into the lake.

"Careful, t-trux." said Blades, still chuckling. "Mommy's not here to protect you anymore."

I tightly closed my eyes. I didn't want to think about it. Then, a sudden flow of anger filled my body.

"Don't. Talk. About. My. MOM!" I roared and lunged at Blades and grabbed his blade. He screamed as I tossed him into the river. Beds nervously backed away as I angrily drove toward him. I grabbed his tail and spun him around and then threw him on top of Blades, who had just gotten out of the water. The impact threw them both into the lake. I glared at Hook as he nervously backed away. I roared as I lunged toward him but hit a wall instead. I shook my head and realized it wasn't a wall. It was a craneousaur. A big one.

"Who's t-trux is this?!" yelled the craneousaur angrily.

Then D-Stroy drove up to me and held my hand. "He's with me. Come on."

I pulled my arm back and drove to the cave. D-Stroy sighed and followed me.

"Why did you do that?! What's wrong with you?!" he yelled at me when we got back to the cave.

"This valley is stupid!" I yelled. "I wanna go home!"

"Don't you see?! This is the only home we have right now!" D-Stroy roared.

"It's not a home at all!" I yelled again.

I angrily drove to a corner and mumbled to myself. I don't know why it happened, but I started crying after a while. D-Stroy sighed and said, "Come over here."

I drove toward and buried my head in his chest.

"I know it's been pretty hard lately, but you can't keep acting like this." he said, hugging me lightly. "You can't keep being the monster everyone thinks you are."

I took some deep breaths and nodded at him. I knew he was right.

I looked down as we headed out of the crater. I was still thinking about that conversation I had with my brother. Maybe he was right. Maybe I was being a monster.

"Look, we're almost out of the crater!" Skrap-it exclaimed. "And we-twitch!-still weren't caught by Ty! Not that I didn't have any doubts."

"Yeah," I said, finally looking at the good things. "I guess we did."

I looked at the edge of the crater as the sun rose. It was really beautiful.

"I told you there was nothing to be afraid of." Tiara giggled.

"Yup." I smiled. Maybe today would be a good day after all.
