OOC: I thought he had the Pyro Saber.
IC: “Looks like we woke up the guardians.” Seraphicon said, “Lower your weapons and don’t provoke them.” He requested, shedding his armor and storing all his weapons and gear in the trailer as it locked up and stood to the side.
Firestorm nods, “How close are we to the tomb?”
“Uh, yeah. Hey what’s up with these stone guys?”
Maximus said as he rose to his feet.
“Nothing good I’m sure.”
Axis said, preparing for battle.
“That may make things worse.” Seraphicon said, “Let’s try to see if we can find a peaceful way out of this.”
Piston acknowledged. “Let’s go, then.” He took off, heading for Prima’s tomb and the SkyBoom Shield.
“Um, Seraphicon. I know about not fighting and when you don’t need to. But this time we need to get the Relic and that would mean we have to fight to get it.” said Hammer as he charged his weapon.
Hydro was ready for some action.
“I don’t think there would be a peaceful solution.” said Hydro Rex. “The guardians are here to protect the Saber, and we want it…so what would it mean ?” he ask.
“Big ominous guardian statues in the middle of a forest suddenly coming to life? Yeah. I’m sure they’ll love to talk things out. Maybe over a glass of engex.”
Axis said with a heavy tone of sarcasm.
ooc: Piston has the Pyro Saber.
IC: Whetstone left his Hab Suite and got something to drink. Myriad and Emerald were training in the holo-deck.
“If we fight them, they may classify us as an enemy and threat to the relic.” Seraphicon said, getting on one knee, keeping near his trailer but not overly so as he tried to show himself to not be a threat. “If they attack, we’ll defend ourselves but should we not at least try?”
OOC: my bad again. You’re right.

Firestorm nods, “How close are we to the tomb?”

“Approximately- agh!”
Beta Maxx cries out as a goliath Driller Worm burst out of a mountainside, snatching the knowledgeable minicon with a clawed tendril. It shrieks a terrible, ear-splitting shriek as it turns to burrow back underground.
Our friends in the forest of the Star Saber would be disappointed to see the blade’s guardians rising to their feet and brandishing their weapons. In one deep, booming voice, they chant a warning in ancient: a simple “begone, on your peril”.
“One of these days your diplomacy is going to get someone killed, because you thought a gun pointed to your head was a peace offering.”
Axis joked. A heavy storm cloud slowly formed over the forest.
Maximus transformed to robot mode and readied his spear.
Hammer was about to consider it.
Hydro Rex saw it. “Oh come one man…you are not considering it, are you ?” he asks.
“I am.” said Hammer. “We should at least try.” said Hammer as he placed his Rifle onto his back as he got unto one knee.
Hydro Rex sighs. “Fine, fine.” he says and does the same thing.
“But if I get punched across 3 miles, you are responsible.” said Hydro.
ooc: Oh, so Beta and Firestorm are going to the tomb? Cool.
IC: Piston flew through the air, his hammer’s boosters activated. He brought the hammer down towards the worm’s head. “I just defeated a holo-deck Driller Worm. Let’s see if you can live up to its standards.”
"Tendrils off!!" Dark and Firestorm yelled as they opened fire on the Driller, the Plasmic Energon flowing through the jet.
Seraphicon had his armor unlock, recalling which direction the sentries faced when dormant, “Everyone, follow me and run like Unicron himself was at our heels.” He said as he tensed up to run.
One tendril bats the hammer aside, though not without sustaining great damage. The aggravated Driller turns, deciding to add Piston to its’ evening meal.
Another Driller erupts from the ground beneath Firestorm as he flies.
The Star Saber’s guardians point the tips of their blades at our heroes.
“Begone, on your peril,” they chant. “Begone, on your peril… begone…”
“Well so much for diplomacy.” said Hydro.
“True that.” replied Hammer.
“Hell nah !” said Hydro as he stood up and grabbed his machine gun out of his back and he charged it up. “I’m staying, and we will get that Blade.” he said.
Hammer stood up as well and grabbed his Rifle and charged it up. “You know I have a great quote in mind wanna hear it ?” he asks
“Sure.” said Hydro.
“Oh shut up you !” said Hydro to the guardians.
“Hell no. These things won’t quit until we’re gone or dead.”
“In the glory of Onyx Prime!”
Maximus called out. He pointed his spear to the sky and a bolt of lightning came down and struck the spear, filling him with power.
“I have the power!!!”
Piston growled. “Oh no you don’t.” He fired a full salvo of rockets at the Worm and then swung his hammer again, the boosters increasing the speed and strength of potential impact.
“GO!” Seraphicon yelled as he bolted toward the heart of the forest as fast as he could. His armor and weapons flying onto him.
“If we linger, we will be overrun and overwhelmed.” Seraphicon told the others.
"So eager to burn!" They yelled as they shot into the sky to evade the beast, dropping bombs into its maw.
Maximus waited for the guardian to make a move.
Axis hovered above the ground, thunder bolts and wind at her finger tips.
“If we stay, we will die!” Seraphicon yelled in the comms.
