Echoblade looked around and walked directly in the center of the passageway. Echoblade had felt her missiles being powered down as she entered the ancient structure, but she didn't mind, she has two swords if anything happens. As she walks down the corridors, Echoblade hopes for a reason to use her swords.

Kol stepped into the mysterious vault, switching his visor to night vision to get a better scope about the area. No matter how much he checked his corners, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong...very wrong.
***************
A cold wind brushed through the tunnels of the vault, causing a ripple in the stale fluid that soaked the surface. The temperature dropped and a neon, orange light begag lining up the walls and corridors, eerily turning the area into a darkly litten zone.
Every visitor would here this voice as it drifted with the cold breeze...seemingly invading the mind and grasping the soul. None of the individuals would know that the other heard the voice.
"D'vatksh shvas hza...visitor. Or should I say, welcome to the vault. I wouldn't expect you to know anything about your ancient language...you've betrayed everything else about your heritage....Oh heavens, you're probably wondering what the hell is going on--let me explain. You are now a pawn. A tool. This is now a game. I control the game. Which means I am the gamekeeper. Nothing you do can save you from the game. How do you win, you ask? It's simple. First things first, though. Naturally, I know why you are here. And I realize no matter what I do, I cannot stop you. But I can try. And I sure as hell will.
Take a look around you. Whether you know it are not, you are accompanied by others. No matter where you go, you cannot hide, you cannot run. You are now mine. Only two of you will escape from this place alive. One of those being the first one to touch the Cube. The second...is Lord Rexacon.
Let the games begin..."
The ship exploded.

Tonic was trying to keep up with the rest of the group, being slower left him near the end of the group. This mission seemed strange, but he couldn't tell why. His build was better for toe to toe combat, so he was normally put into firefights and such, but being an abnormal mission wasn't what made Tonic so uneasy. As the wind passed through Tonic's body, he could hear words being told to him. Just assuming the rest were listening as well, he acted as if it wasn't there, but holding on to every word. The game begin? What was this bot thinking? Hearing an extremely loud explosion, Tonic jumped and drew his pistols as he turned to cover the group's back. He was guessing they would continue moving as they were, no point in changing due to a little intimidation. Whoever this gamekeeper was, he wanted them dead. And Tonic feared, he might just have the power and advantage to keep this threat.

Bunker scanned the place with his Scatter-blaster, Ready for anything. Well, almost ready...as soon as he Heard the voice, Bunker began to frantically look around before he eventually stopped. He wasn't sure if anyone else was listening, but he heard it himself. The bot speaking wanted them dead, and only offered Salvation under two circumstances, you either had to touch the cube first, or you had to be Lord Rexacon. With the latter out of the question, Bunker knew there would be a mad dash for the cube, and he could only figure it was a trap. Then there was an explosion, cocking his blaster, Bunker nodded his head.
This was most definitely, a trap.

Racing through the tunnels of the temple, Shadow heard the voice. He was gonna to kill them all unless your Rexacon or the first to touch the cube. Well, ain't that dandy, guess he gonna have to touch the cube after he's done. However, hearing Rexacon name just alerted him that the decepticons are here. Unfortunate events, now the cube was going to be his top priority. If he discovers what is calling him then the cube can wait. Wasting no time, Shadow continued running towards his destination. Through his eyes, a path was being craved out to him as he followed it like a bug attracted to light.
A lone sentinel appeared before him as Shadow stopped in his tracks. Getting into his battle stance, he waited for the beast to attack first. However, the sentinel began to transform; however, it looked like mutation was occurring as two long tentacles popped out as it stuck to the ground. A hatch opened revealing a container holding thousands of shards.
"Slag....."
*Fired* Shadow easily dodged the shard, but as soon as it made contact. The wall that the shard hit began to melt. His optics opened wide in shock as more shards were being fired. Ducking to a wall, Shadow cursed as the wall wouldn't hold forever. Shadow didn't want any of this as he heard other noises coming closer. Quickly using his sword, Shadow blocked the shards coming as he fired a shockwave towards the sentinel. The shockwave knocks it back; however, one of the shards struck his leg. Quickly taking out the shard, the pain was immense. Luckily the properties of the shard didn't fully activate. Looking at the sentinel, Shadow quickly sliced it in half.
"So they have a creature that infects while another one to melt bots or their armor. These creatures are like a virus, a virus that has a source....possibly one that called me over here. This just got interesting."
Activating his thrusters, Shadow hovered above the ground as he flew forward. This whole temple is the playground and we are the toys. However, whoever that voice was clearly doesn't want the cube being touched or something else.
~~~
Roll jumped when she heard the voice, clinging onto Rexacon to protect her. She didn't sign up for this, like some horror movie. She wasn't trying to die not in this place.
"Oh Rexacon, what should we do? Can you hear the voice? We gonna die!!!"
Rexacon stopped as he smacked Roll across the face and got her off of him. He continued making his way through the temple. Their ship exploded no doubt and now this gamekeeper thinks he has it under control. The gamekeeper was likely a guardian that wants to protect the cube from intruders and this was a test. So be it, like all test...there is a way to cheat. However, he wondered why only he would survive. Rexacon was kind of interested now, hoping to meet him. Now to address the troops hoping they don't get scared or spooked.
"Roll, your a decepticon soldier so act like it. You are vital to me so I won't let them kill you easily. Continue to show us the way through the temple. As for the rest of you, if you heard the gamekeeper as I call him, stick together. If you are separated then you are on your own."
Nodding to Rexacon, Roll made sure she stayed at his side as she continues to follow the path. The sigma key seems to be giving them an easy path. Hopefully, they can all touch the cube and get the hell out of here.
Suddenly hearing a noise, Rexacon and Roll get their melee weapons ready. The sound can be heard around them as they can hear movement too. One sentinel manage to go around the group and pick the weakest link. Bunker. Jumping out of the shadows, the sentinel jumps to attack Bunker and hopes to infect him. More sentinels came out as they attack Echoblade and Tonic. One sentinel on the ceiling looked upon Onewing thinking that its an injured prey. It sticks to the ground and mutates as its tentacles came out to grab upon Onewing. The attempt to bring it closer to its bite.

Kol had the strangest feeling....
He was to die today.
He watched Rexacon slap the panicking Roll across the room. Damn! It was a little harsh, but her panic could cause distress for everyone. But Rexacon had been promised safe passage. And even though that may be a lie, Kol hardly believed this was a feint.
Suddenly, the orange lights dimmed....
*************
Valk relaxed as he watched the reactions of the intruders. "Rich." He laughed as Roll flew to the ground from the impact of Rexacon's blow. "This is fine and dandy business...but our sentinels are becoming far too predictable. Send in the Brutes."
*************
Kol stopped moving the the others. Something was screaming...nagging at him in his mind...he couldn't ignore it. Things were about to go very...very wrong....
*************
OUTSIDE:
The Council troops opened a small compartment outside the Vault, setting huge barrels up to the hole.
"Standing by."
"Roger that, entering a secure transmission feed.....Valk, do you read?"
"....Of course. Pour the Corrosia."
The privateers began emptying the barrels into the vault chamber, causing the liquid to slowly creep through the depths...
*************
The lights came back, and Kol looked up to see himself surrounded by four massive, drooling cybertronian monsters. Each stood 40 feet tall, and were ridden in filth and chains. One roared in his face, plastering decaying matter and sludge onto his visage, and displaying 8 roars of sharp, rotating teeth.
Kol dropped his gun in disbelief. He hadn't sensed this. They did walk up...they had just appeared...
"Motherf--"
**************
Valk raised a glass. "Game on."

Echoblade pulled her twin swords from their metallic sheaths and jumped to the side as a horrific beast tried to bite her. She was slightly in shock for a moment, but she recovered quickly as she swung her swords at the beast. To Echoblade, at the moment, nothing existed except for the fight. This was Echoblade's best strategy, focus on the fight and shut out anything, besides her primary enemy, that wasn't withing range of her blades. Echoblade had been aching for a fight, and now she had one, and she wasn't planning on losing.

Onewing sneered at the voice that so rudely invaded the personal world inside his head. He brought one of his hands close to the side of his head to scratch furiously, like that would rid the thing he thought was in there. However, the teal Seeker quickly dropped his arm and turned his entire body around. He saw nothing for a second or two before his optics fell over the thing sticking to the floor. This wasn't in the job description! Knowing he'd have to fight things that were uglier than he was might have been nice to know beforehand. Onewing gaped his jaws and let out a hissing snarl, almost beastlike himself.
Still hovering, he jolted backwards once he saw the tentacle coming at him. He instinctively brought his head back to avoid having it be hit. He felt wind hit him as the tendril barely grazed his middle. It was his job to draw the danger away from the less expendable soldiers, but he could tell by sound alone that there were too many already for him to take alone. Onewing knew he had to start with his own monster.
He streamlined his form and shot himself a small distance higher in the air. Few could contend with his speed. Onewing flipped around and started to make a wide circle around the creature; he for one did not want those teeth facing him. A plasma rifle was lifted along with the Seeker's arm.

The sentinel facing Echoblade began swirling around the eager bot. Showing its spikes, the sentinel began mutating for a more humanoid battle. Drooling of energon from its mouth, the sentinel charged towards Echoblade as its chest released shards. The shards would do damage to Echo's armor while the fight shall weaken her.
~~
The sentinel roared as Onewing fired upon it. Mutating again for combat; however, for aerial purposes. Growing wings, it took flight to face against Onewing. The beast charged up as it fired a toxic nucleic acid. If that didn't work then a simple charge would do as the beast followed up on its own attack.
~~
Roll jumped up in terror as she saw the sentinels and the brutes coming in to attack the group. Running around in circles on not knowing what to do.
"Ahhhhh, what do we do?! I didn't sign up for this."
Yanking her up was Rexacon as he was tired of hearing Roll panicking. Looking ahead, two sentinels came out along with a brute in the middle . However, something was different as the brute had been infected by the sentinels. Mutating, tentacles came out of the brute as Rexacon was disgusted by the scene. The brute roared as the sentinels attacked first to test out Rexacon abilities.
Dropping Roll down, Rexacon unleashed his blades as instantly sliced away the two sentinels in half. No challenge was said in his mind as Rexacon was soon caught off guard by the brute. Charging at him like a tank, Rexacon flew back 50 meters as he smashed against the wall.
"Ugh..."
Dropping to the floor on one knee, the brute picked up Rexacon and began pounding on him to weaken him for a bit. Infecting him would be to easy, but playing with the food then biting him will do. Taking both hands, he threw Rexacon to another wall. The brute slowly walked towards him to finish him off.
~~
Roll was scared as hell, hiding behind a corner. She watched the scene unfold between the cons. She was not going to get infected...no...no...no.
Unknownly behind her, a sentinel tackled her to the ground as she struggled to get it off of her.
"Ahhh, get it off me, get it off me!!!"
Activating her radiant wave arms, she grabbed the beast throat and began choking it to death. The radiation soon enveloped the body as it exploded in her face. The energon of its remains covered her armor.
"Ewww ewww ewwww, I wasn't ready for this...."

Echoblade was more than a little surprised to see the beast that was attacking her mutate, she was so surprised, in fact, that she was barely able to dodge most of the shards that it shot at her. As she flew upward to avoid the shards, one lodged itself in her upper leg, and one struck her hand, causing her to drop one of her swords. Now Echoblade was angry, she'd never lost one of her weapons in battle! Echoblade shouted a loud battle cry as she brought her remaining sword down on the beast, trying to cleave its head in two.
