Desert Troop

While a dangerous battle with the Dark raged on, Timmy Barnes and Bear Company escaped in the night. With the help of Armor Division, they cross into the desert, searching for a secret cache of supplies so they can repair their damaged armor. There they find Desert Troop, a bizarre assortment of creatures that just might be a little crazy. Desert Troop tells them about strange animal behavior in the area-like spiders riding on birds, and snakes eavesdropping on conversations. But at least the Dark won't find them way out here in the desert…right?
As they say, the best-laid plans often go awry, and there just might be something lurking about in the desert-a dangerous new villain who has set her sights on Timmy and his friends.
