Chapter 2: The gathering of the misfits.
(On Bara Magna.)
(Crotesius comes into the Shop.)
Crotesius: Hey guys, you got any parts for a Cendox?
Berix: We certainly do!
Tarduk: Infact, we have enough parts to build 5 Cendoxs.
Crotesius: Awesome.
(He looks through the bin of Cendox parts.)
Crotesius: Hey, What's this?
(He holds up a metal tube.)
Tarduk: Let me see.
(Tarduk looks it over, and pops the lid off. Several scrolls fall out.)
Tarduk: Whoah, look at this stuff.
Berix: Here's a map to all the Storage bunkers on Bara Magna!
Crotesius: Look at these Vehicle designs! I've never seen anything like them!
Tarduk: I wonder what's in those other storage bunkers.
Berix: We could find out. The're not very far away.
Crotesius: I could give you a ride, in exchange for some parts.
Tarduk: DEAL!
(Later, they are all riding on the Cendox V1.)
Berix: Let's go to this one in The White Quartz mountains.
Tarduk: Yeah, there should be some Exsidian there.
Crotesius: SWEET! I can get some to help build those Vehicles!
(Watching them behind a cliff, is Sahmad, in the Baranus V7.)
Sahmad: Exsidaian, huh? I could get some lunch with that. (To Spikit.) Leftie, Rightie, Let's go boys!
Spikit's left head: What's the magic word?
Sahmad:

Please.
Spikit's right head: Thank you!
(They start to follow The Agori.)
(At the White Quartz Mountains, Strakk is standing on a snowy cliff.)
Strakk: I'm Pretty!
Echo: I'm Pretty!
Strakk: I'm Prettier!
Echo: I'm Prettier!
Strakk:

No I'm Prettier!
Echo: No I'm Prettier!
Strakk: I am!
Echo: I am!
Strakk: You're dumb!
Echo: You're dumb!
Strakk: I know you are, but what am I?
Echo: I know you are but what am I?
Strakk:

Oh, he's good.
(Strakk sees the Agori at the bottom of the mountain.)
Strakk: Hey, what are those guys up to?
(With the Agori.)
Berix: The Hatch Should be right about....HERE!
(He opens a hatch in the ground.)
Tarduk: Let's check it out.
(They all climb down into the bunker.)
Crotesius: It's full of.....Popsicles?
(The Bunker is full of frozen treats like Popsicles, Icecream, and so on.)
Tarduk: You know, this actually makes sense, with the landscape outside.
Crotesius: But what good is it?
???: Are you ssssseriously that ssssstupid?
Crotesius: Who's there?!
Berix, with water sword: Show your self! NOW!
(Snake form Metus, wearing a scarf, slithers out from behind some buckets of icecream.)
Tarduk:

Snakes....why did it have to be snakes?
Berix: What are you doing here, you little worm?
Metus: Your one to talk, theif. If you must know, I was planning to start my own buisssnessss.
Crotesius: What sort of business?
Metus: An Icecream stand, dummy. Who wouldn't want a cold refreshment while walking through the desert? But thanks to Mata Nui, that'll never happen.
Berix: Well, we were going to start our own buisness. We thought that there where usful objects in here.
Tarduk: But it seems that there actually are. Thank's for the idea.
Metus: HEY! DON'T YOU DARE COME IN WITH 3 INCHES OF MY ICECREAM!
Crotesius: Hey guys, I can't beleive I'm going to say this, But I think we need him.
Berix and Tarduk: WHAT?!
Crotesius: Well, You know he used to do acounting and taxes for the villages right?
Berix: Your point?
Crotesius: What do you guys know about running a buisness?
Tarduk: .........Okay, you have a point.
Berix: Okay Metus, we'll make a deal. We'll let you sell icecream in our shop, if you do our accounting and stuff.
Metus: Well, I can't argue with that offer. Say, have any of you seen my Moronic helper, Strakk? I havn't seen him in 3 days.
Tarduk: No. But I thought we heard something when we got here.
(They Suddenly here loud noises outside of the bunker.)
Berix: WHAT THE?
(They all scramble up the ladder, except for Metus, who has no arms.)
Metus: HEY! Wait for me!
(Berix slides back down, grabs him by the tail, and yanks him up.)
(On the surface, Strakk is fighting Sahmad, who is driving the Baranus.)
Strakk: Hey man, stay away from boss's bunker!
Sahmad: Mind your own beeswax!
(Strakk shoots a Thornax at Sahmad, knocking him off of the Baranus. The Agori come and hold him down.)
Sahmad: LEFTIE! RIGHTIE! HELP!
Leftie: Let go of Sahmad!
Rightie: Or we'll eat you!
Berix: WAIT! What if we make a deal?
Sahmad: What do you have in mind?
Berix: You need a new line of work, right?
Sahmad: Yes, with the Skrall gone, there's no one to sell Agori too. Well, except the Bone Hunters, but they havn't bought one in months.
Tarduk: They buy Agori?
Sahmad: Well yeah, They get sick of Sand Stalker meat.
Others:
Tarduk: Well, what if we offered you a job?
Sahmad: What kind of job?
Berix: You seem to have a large cart-
Sahmad: Baranus.
Berix: Whatever. Can it carry cargo, and can it carry it fast?
Sahmad: I suppose so. Why?
Tarduk: Because we have your first job for you.
(Later, All of the Icecream has been loaded on the Baranus V7.)
Sahmad: A DELIVERY BOY?!?! THIS IS UNDIGNAFIED!!!
Berix: Don't think of as delivery boy. Think of it as "Transporter of goods".
Sahmad: Whatever. I'm only doing this for the cash, you know.
Crotesius: You guys ready to go?
Tarduk: Yep. Where are Strakk and Metus going to sit?
Crotesius: In the trunk.
Metus, From trunk: THIS IS VERY UNCOMFERTABLE!!!

Crotesius: The Mechanic of the team, he one day hopes to build the ancient vehicle plans he found.
Metus: The "reformed" owner of the icecream stand in the shop. Posesses legendary buisnessman skills.
Strakk: Is aways looking for a date, but has no luck. He sounds like Elvis when he talks.
Sahmad: The cranky "transporter of goods", has an infamously strong and fast Baranus.
Leftie and Righty: Sahmad's Spikit. Leftie is the left head, and Righty is the right head. They disagree constantly.
