Expedition of Exiles: A Chima Roleplay Tie-in Story

Previously unseen slits in the walls opened to reveal glass windows. Those inside the transport looked out at the ice and snow all around. The region was filled with frozen lakes and a few mountains here and there. Presently, Dr. Benjamin stepped back into the closed platform above. 
"I've set the transport on autopilot." He explained, polishing his spectacles before putting them back on. 
"What kind of transport is this, exactly?" Asked Leonard. "I'm always interested in learning about new vehicles." 
"This is a Black Overwatch ground troop transport that I've repurposed." Answered Dr. Benjamin. "It has eight wheels, and enough room to carry twelve troops into battle, perhaps even more on the top floor hallway and cockpit. Commanders driving these used to step back into this platform to rally the troops with rousing speeches before opening those doors in the back and sending them into battle. The Black Overwatch forces have now switched to air transports, since these are so slow." 
Dr. Benjamin pressed a button on a control panel, and the wall directly beneath the platform opened, revealing a storage compartment. 
"In here, you will find gear and warm clothes to enable you to be in the outside climate without freezing." Said Dr. Benjamin. 
"Good." Said Leonard, kicking his feet to smash through the last bit of ice encasing them. 
"You will also find weapons so you can defend yourselves against any hostile creatures, if such beings exist here." Said Dr. Benjamin. He added coldly, "There is an electric device inside each weapon that will shock its user into submission if you attempt to use the weapon against your teammates." 
Braxin attempted to assault Sezrac as if in demonstration of this, and a blue electric shock came out of his weapon and rippled across him. Braxin fell to the floor. 
"It works." Observed Sezrac. 

Braxin and Rex had both chosen black swords as their weapons. Leonard armed himself with a medium-sized sledgehammer, Dr. Benjamin carried a chi handgun, and Sezrac chose a brown scythe. Dr. Benjamin flipped a switch that opened the huge wall-sized doors at the back of the transport. The teammates flew and walked through the door quickly, and it was closed before the strong winds could blow a lot of snow in. With their coats, they were protected from freezing in the sub-zero temperatures. Dr. Benjamin came down a retractable ramp from the transport's front, below the square cockpit. The team got to work exploring the area, climbing hills, and taking samples of the rare white plants that scarcely grew in a few places. Whenever Braxin wandered too far off, Benjamin would keep him in check. With his scientific device, Dr. Benjamin took pictures of just about everything, typed detailed descriptions of all he'd discovered, and sent the information and pictures directly back to Black Fang Mountain via a wireless connection. 
"Even if I don't make it out of this region, my reasearch already has." Benjamin said, satisfied. 
"Let's hope we all make it back, Doc." Said Rex. 
"Doc Ben, I think I saw something moving on that mountain to the northeast." Leonard said, holding the binoculars Dr. Benjamin had provided." 
"Are you sure it wasn't simply whiteplant swaying in the wind?" Asked Dr. Benjamin.
"No, sir." Said Leonard, shaking his head. "It looked like a bird of some kind." 
"We must go to that mountain!" Said Benjamin.
"Let's fly!" Said Braxin, flapping his wings rapidly.
"No, because Sezrac and Leonard can't fly, and I don't want to haul them up a mountain with ropes, nor do I want the team to be split up and possibly separated." Benjamin replied. "We go in the transport." 
"This thing can drive up a mountain?" Asked Sezrac, tapping one of the eight huge wheels with one of his back legs (which was wearing a glove designed to cover spider legs). 
"It seems there's a road carved into the slope of that mountain." Said Leonard. 
"Then what are we waiting for?" Asked Rex, flying back to the transport. "Let's go." 

The road up the mountain was rough and bumpy. The repurposed transport rumbled along, causing Sezrac and Leonard to stumble around as Rex and Braxin hovered above. As they got close to the top of the mountain, Leonard saw something through a window: four bird-shaped jets of foreign design that seemed to be made partially out of ice. They were armed with small crystallized missiles, and they were heading right toward the transport from the side. The four missiles of one jet launched just as Leonard's teammates gathered around and looked through the window. 
"HOSTILE JETS!!" Leonard yelled to Benjamin in the cockpit. "MISSILES INBOUND—!" 
The side of the transport was exploded open, and Rex was sucked out into the high-altitude air, still clutching his sword. Leonard was barely holding onto the edge of the hole in the wall, the wind slamming his body repeatedly against the outside wall. Braxin was flapping his wings up and down while also holding onto the edge of the hole.
"THE TIME HAS COME!" Braxin yelled. "THE ICE DWELLERS HAVE FOUND US!!"
Sezrac had used a web to attach himself to the far wall inside the transport, and was constantly applying more webbing to it as the wild wind broke it apart little by little. The jet that had fired its missiles pulled back, as the other three jets flew around and around the transport, shooting it with ice blasts and missiles. Benjamin tried to blast the jets with the transport's turrets, but every chi pulse blast was frozen solid! An ice missile hit the cockpit, and Benjamin was sucked out into the air, his camera device smashing to pieces against the surface of the mountain. Good thing I already sent the data back to Black Fang Mountain. Benjamin thought as he spiraled through the air, but he then realized with dread that he hadn't been able to photograph these chi-evolved birds piloting the jets. The jets began targeting the cliff road below the transport, and it was soon shattered, sending the transport to its doom as it crashed down the mountain and the beings inside it scrambled to escape, only to be separated. 

I'll repost it here soon, cause I have it archived but my pc broke, that's also why I haven't posted any new chapters of my story here, but it was called Purple Alligator Island. 

Maybe, maybe not. It could be any of the teammates besides Benjamin.

I'm guessing Sezrac. 

Oh so your gonna isolate them each time, and its not Braxin because he flew out, so I'm betting on Rex, because that talk about becoming leader was  very serious, and who else hates their leadership but Rex
