“Do they have a range? Will we be able to reach the Saber without the same guards hunting us down?” Cargo maintains proximity with the others.
The tendril snatches one bomb and tosses it aside. The worm roars as Firestorm flies out of reach.
“I would recommend remaining beside Piston to lend him a servo,” calmly requests Beta Maxx.
“That, I’m afraid I do not know!” calls Ironclad as he runs with the rest. The sentinels give chase, however they are slowed by Axis’ cyclone.
Maximus transformed to beast mode, allowing him to run faster.
“So this is what running away is supposed to be like? I don’t like it. It feels like fighting in the wrong direction.”
Maximus said as he ran.

“Follow me and cover Hydro Rex!” Seraphicon yelled to the others. He tries to set off an ice spike to show which way he was going to go.
“Please fasten your seatbelt, we’re about to make a very steep dive and plug this thing full of cannon fire.” Dark said as Firestorm rolled and turned the het to dive for the beast, aiming to let loose and fill its stomach with explosive blasts.
Cargo launches a hastily aimed flash grenade that his writer had forgotten he had at the pursuers, then continues after Seraphicon.
The driller roars and lashes out with its’ tendrils as Firestorm dives.
“Wheels, doncha fail me now!” Bootleg shrieks as he retreats.
The grenade further serves to hamper the sentinels’ pursuit.
“Open wide!” Firestorm yelled as he opened fire on the gaping maw of the beast while trying to dodge its attacks.
“Everyone!” Seraphicon yells, “To me! Rally to me!”
The tendrils impede the path of the blasts as they shoot toward Firestorm.
Our heroes could begin to see the shores of the forest’s lake through the trees.
“I hate everything about this.”
Maximus said.
“Better than being dead!”
Axis shouted.
“Is it really?”

“There!” Seraphicon yelled, pointing to it, “Let’s move!” He tries to spearhead a path.
“Beta, can you stun this thing?” Firestorm asked as he fired missiles as he tried to dodge the tendrils.
“Most likely,” responds Beta Maxx.
The Driller howls with rage.
Bootleg continues to retreat, even as his left wheel bursts into flame.
“Nuh-uh! I ain’t dyin’ here! Y’all ain’t gettin’ me!” he taunts the sentries.
Maximus continued running. Diving in as soon as he got to the lake.
Seraphicon was taking up the rear, trying to cover everyone’s path to the lake.
“Can you integrate with the weapons on this Transtector?” Firestorm said as he rapidly pulled away to prepare for another attack run.
Maximus would want to hop out quickly, as his body begins to rapidly freeze over.
As those chasing the Star Saber enter the clearing the sentinels suddenly stop just inside the treeline, standing stock-still.
Bootleg falls onto his back and begins blowing at the flames issuing from his wheels.
“Unfortunately, I cannot.”
As soon as the others arrive, Maximus violently erupted from the lake.
“SWEET SOLUS PRIME THAT’S COLD!”
He shouted.

Seraphicon tries to extinguish the flames by cooling, but not freezing, Bootleg’s systems with the Cryo Saber. He looks up, searching for the Sentry he saw in the vision.
Firestorm has the Transtector climb again and prepares to transform it and himself, “Then, we’ll have to do it this way.” He said as he checked his altitude.
“Th-th-thanks,” Bootleg shivers.
All the sentries looked identical to the one he saw.
Ironclad studies the lake. All around it the forested hills rose and fell, and the dark water reflected the setting sun’s orange rays as snowflakes flutter through the air.
“D-d-d-d-don’t g-g-go in there.”
Maximus said shivering.
The Angelicon nods and replied, “You’re welcome.”
“Noted.” Seraphicon said as he moved to try and gather some wood for everyone to get warmed by a fire.
He looks at the lake, “The Star Saber is down there somewhere.” He said.
OOC: so…do we all try to use The Force to summon it out of the lake?
“And w-w-we’re not getting it. It’s st-t-taying right where it is.”
