The Guardian groaned finaly wakeing up after the explosion sent him flying, he tried to move before noticeing a heavy weight on his chest. "What the.." he mumbled softly, head pounding, opening his gray eyes to see a tree limb laying on his chest. He tried to move again hissing as his wings scrapped up agaist jagged stones and rough tree bark. He stopped moveing coughing badly as he looked around trying to find a way to get out.

The large tree had nearly crushed him, only having been stopped by the large outcrop of rocks that he had been thrown under dering the blast. The limb ontop of him had snapped off of the main tree haveing fallen on top of him making it really hard to breathe.

The Guardian coughed badly again getting a metallic taist in his mouth, barly managing to cover his mouth as he coughed the limb also making it extremely hard to move. He breathed havily pulling his hand away to see that he had been coughing up blood. I need to get this thing off me. He thought moving his body to try and push the tree branch off of him, it was stuck.

He breathed heavily looking around again before looking down at himself trying to assess the damages to his body. His black cloke was ripped up and sinnged most likely from the sharp rocks he was trapped against, his wings were trapped agaist. Looking over his sholder he grimaced, his wings took the impact, he tryed moveing them instantly regretting it as a sharp stab off pain went straight into them, joining his throbbing head.

He coughed again smoke haveing started to fill the air, something was burning nearby He ran fingers though his raven black hair sighing trying to regain his barrings, flinching as his fingers bumped into more blood it coatting his fingers. Quickly withdrawing his hand and wiping the blood of on a nearby rock he started to try moveing the limb again, smiling as he finally made it buge enough for him to sit uo and get his wings of the sharp rocks.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before coughing again, smoke. Why is there- opening his ash gray eyes them wideing him realizing that he had the chance to become ash himself as his eyes locked on the hungry purple fire engulfing the same tree what was on top of him, and boy were feathers flammable.

The Guardian shoved at the branch more getting it of his legs as the fire moved closer it almost instantly turning the tree to ash. He stood shakily looking around seeing the intire knocked down forest on fire. "ALEX!! EMERALD STEVE!!" He screamed not knowing where they were qickly cimbling the out crop of rocks to get away from the violet flames, not wanting his wings to get more sinnged then they already were.

He called out again and started running alonf the rocky outcrop trying to find the two of them knowing very well that these flames were deadly. He waited for a response hearing none, before abandoning any thought of self preservation and ran into the flames.

"ALEX!! EMERALD STEVE!! CAN YOU HEAR ME!!" He called for them coughing as he dashed though the fire looking for any sign of orange or green in the purple flames. If Galaxy steve was here, he couldn't help note, he whould be impossible to find. He shook his head calling for the others again and kept searching.

It felt like hours before the Guardian spotted orange among the purple flames, "Alex!" He yelled to himself scrambling over to her. She was unconscious trapped under an outcrop of rocks as well nearly berryed alive, her head bleading badly. Most likely from the tree that nearly kept her concealed, that just got set on fire.

"How did this fire even start!?" He yelled to himself qickly digging her out of the rocks and picking her up jumping away from the now compleatly ablaze tree. "EMERALD STEVE!!" he screamed out coughing from the smoke. Running deeper into the aflame forest having looked everywhere along the mountain outcroppings, only to get lost within the fire having no idea where he came from.

He coughed more calling out again nearly falling to his knees coughing up more blood. "GUARDIAN!!" Someone nearby called followed by someone blatantly splashing in water. "GET OVER HERE!!" He spun around spotting Emerald steve in one of the hidden ponds, one that was coverd, safe. He qickly bolted over jumping into the pond just as a huge tree fell over the opening trapping them in darkness.

Emerald steve lit a torch for them putting it agaist the wall before swimming over to them, "you ok??" He asked looking at the two of them. Guardian nodded coughing a bit moveibg to set Alex down at the one dry spot in the mini cave. "Ya.. my wings are banged up but they heal fast." He said qight simply slumping  to sit in the waist high water exhasted.

Emerald sat down to, "and Alex?? I heard you yelling and I tryed to get to you but I decided to stay here becuse of the fire, this is the one safe place after all." The Guardian nodded, "ya, I think alex will be fine she got hit by a tree from what I could tell when I found her. How did you find this place? Its qight hidden."

The green colored steve sighed, "I woke up here, the explosion flung me in here somehow.. see?" He pointed to a little puddle of blood near alex was, "I hit my head on the edge but had the water to cushion most of my fall."

The non steve sighed again, "were lucky you did, we probably whould have turned to ash out there if you didn't get flung in here. I whould have never seen that opening if it wasn't for you screaming at me and sticking your head out of the opening..." he streched his wings hissing under his breath, closeing his eyes.

Emerald steve relaxed, "Get some rest Guardian, we're going to be in here for awhile.. intil the fires gone out anyway," Garudian cuckled half heartedly, "Ya. Then we're probably going back to where the crystal was, if I know Alex she'll probably want to make sure that sabres not there, even though he's probably gone.." he trailed off feeling bad for the player.

Emerald groaned, "i guess it whouldent hurt to see what happend... who knows what the crystal did.. it got very very unstable at the end there.."

"Who knows what we'll find."
