(You won't be there just yet so feel free to chatter!
As they continued their journey the broken path faded more and more gradually becoming less and less of a path until it faded into grassland, in the distance they could see the grey-white mountains through much green foilage around their base. A sunlight now also emerged warming their armor slightly, and although they would feel it the whole area began to give off a different vibe to the dark, dank area where they had landed and the desolate and bleak little village of dwellings they had passed through earlier...

Gorgon continued to lead the way, still in his hover-tank mode. The terrain was rough, which may have posed a problem if he'd actually been touching the ground. Gorgon listened to the chatter behind him about taking a beast mode.
"Me Gorgon not take squishy Organic disguise. Organics puny, break easy. More of a Cybertron thing, sign of weakness. Me Gorgon not weak!"

OOC: Moving things on slightly as the Cybertrons are practically in orbit.
"I hear that partner!", chipped in Roadranger as he trunbled along in his vehicle mode, "Why by a squishy when you can be all-terrain baby!"
"Scathe agree! Scathe not want to be animal, all jumping about SCathe KILL! SCATHE MAME AND CRUSH!"
"Well unlike you primitives", countered Quickchange, "A spy needs every advantage they can get. But just refresh your tiny microcircuits you call brains, you'll only be organic on the outside, inside you'll still be one hundred percent Cybetronian and metal! Only able to stay in your robot modes for limited times! Be warned of the restrictions you put on yourselves!"
For the next few mega-miles - by Cybertronian terms, they traveled across dense grassland and around deep thrusting mountains until they came to an area of enclosed flat land, surrounded by very tall white-gray grassy sloped mountains,
"At last we are here! Those that want beast forms had better go find some quick before you hit stasis lock!", gasped Triton, "Rampart where do you think you're going?!...". Indeed Ramaprt had quickly transformed and was sneaking off as he rushed towards some cave he had seen in the side of one of the nearby mountains...

Gorgon glided easily over the rough terrain. He stopped along with the others when Rampart vanished into one of the caves. Gorgon chose to remain outside and in his vehicle mode. He wouldn't be able to fit inside the cave in either mode anyway. Gorgon let out a low rumble. He was starting to get restless. He wanted to destroy some Cybertrons.

Quickchange wandered off up the mountain whilst Scather stayed put, he knew he was too big also to follow Rampart in the cave and so stayed with Gorgon and the others that didn't wish to take alternate best Forms. "Right, all of you that aren't upgrading get digging in that bald spot of land!", ordered Triton, "I want a crater as big and as deep and you can make it - now get too work!" "Why do you wanna hole boss?", asked Roadranger, "I didn't come to dig no holes""Perhaps, you'd like your own personal hole! In the chest or right between the optics?! Now move it!"" growled Triton. Roadranger fliched, the look on hos face saying it all. "Er yeah, sure boss. C'mon Gorgon, Scathe..."Inside the cave, Rampart hadn't found anything particularly remarkable inside, but thought to himself that it was nice enough just to get away from the others. Just as he was about to turn and leave he spotted something embedded in the walls... Bones. The fossil of some old animal, something that had wings and looked very grand. Transforming back into robot mode, the cave shielded him somewhat from the high Energon levels, nevertheless, his warning circuits still went off.. +++ Internal Repair System +++
WARNING! High Energon counts! Overload in 3 mega-cycles! Transform to alternate mode immediately!
+++ Internal Repair System ++Rampart ignored the warning and scanned the bones embedded in the wall, the 3D image reconstruction that displayed on the inside of his optics and he liked what he saw. A great Kyoto like dragon with horns and great scales and wings. Transforming into beast mode he felt a great new energy run through him with this now beast mode feeling more powerful than before. Reverting back to robot mode he made his way out the cave in his new look robot mode, whilst he still had the energy... "Behold fellow Destrons!", bellowed the bot smugly, "how do you like me now?! AHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Gorgon stomped off with Scathe and Roadranger and began digging the crater as Triton had ordered. Gorgon was tempted to just stay in his alt mode and blast the crater with his weaponary, but in a rare display of intelligence, he decided against it. It would probably attract too much attention. From who, Gorgon didn't know.
After a short while of digging, Gorgon heard Rampart emerge from the cave and announce his new robot form. Gorgon turned and looked at him.
"How you look? Look organic and squishy. Rampart look stronger before."
With this, Gorgon turned and went back to digging the crater.

"Enough fooling around Rampart!", bellowed the commander, "So far you've not made yourself of any use so get digging!" The smirk on Rampart's face began to fade as he watched the others already at work.
"Who does he think he is?! don't see him doing any of the hard work either!", thought Rampart to himself.
Up on top of the mountain, Quickchange laughed smugly to himself as Rampart was once more shown up. The bot flinched suddenly as a strange lizard like animal ran over his hand, flipping himself over he grabbed it's tail with one hand then quickly used the other to hold it there. The small green creature began tossing and turning under the Destron's hands, trying to get away as Quickchange scanned it when slowly the creature started to change colour to match his hands. "Hmmm this might come in handy integrating with my chameleon circuit!", he thought to himself as he let the creature eventually go.
Quickchange transformed using mass shrinking and scuttled back off the mountain, he would have to remain in this mode for a while to get his Energon levels back up and avoid going into stasis lock. As he scuttled back down the mountain Quickchange saw an opportunity he couldn't resist, and jumped onto Rampart's back.
"AAAARGH!!! Get this thing off me!", screeched Rampart and began dancing arroung trying to detach the beast, now on his shoulder.
Meanwhile Triton called the other Destrons still on the moonbase.
+++ Destron Secure Comms +++
Destrons's report status!
+++ Destron Secure Comms +++
+++ Destron Secure Comms +++
Duel here! The other Destrons are ready but the Cybertronians..
+++ Destron Secure Comms +++
+++ Destron Secure Comms +++
Yes I know about the Destron's, very well, prepare for my arrival Triton out!
+++ Destron Secure Comms +++
"Rampart! I thought I told you to stop fooling around!", yelled Trition, "I must leave to collect the other Destrons, If you can keep still for a moment - then your in command! Do not fail me Rampart!", scathed the commander pointing a finger at his sub-lieutenant. Quickchange jumped off and Transformed just long enough to shock Rampart it was actually him before they both turned and watched Lord Triton head for the ship to leave...
"You heard him Destrons, now I'M in command! So you better do as I say!", rasped the bod thumbing a finger into his chest.

Gorgon chuckled when Quickchange jumped onto Rampart.
"Good one, Spy-bot."
Gorgon continued to dig the crater, pausing only to listen to Triton. Gorgon wasn't especially pleased with Rampart being in charge, but Triton had put him in charge, therefore, Gorgon would have to follow Rampart's orders as Triton had ordered it.
Gorgon continued digging, wondering what exactly Triton had planned for the crater.

Scathe continued digging as Quickchange came over to help.
"That's it nice and deep!", gloated the bot, trying to regain some face. "It seems Triton has forgot already about the high energon spikes already, but you need to been in robot mode to dig! So no transformations until you get close to locking up! THEN you may rest!"

Gorgon continued digging along side the other Destrons.
"Me Gorgon not tired. Me Gorgon not need rest. Me Gorgon dig."
Gorgon wondered how much more they would have to dig and what Triton wanted the hole for.
"Rampart, if you in charge, what this hole for?"

"I follow orders, not question them!", snapped Rampart, "I'm sure whatever the great Triton has in mind is glorious! Now dig! Unless you want it to be a Destron mass grave!"
Ignoring the others, Rampart looked to the stars, awaiting his master's return, In hindsight it would've been the perfect opportunity to attach a hidden explosive device and do away with Triton once and for all! But still, his time would come. Time makes all things possible, Rampart couldn't wait...

As Gorgon continued digging, he couldn't help but feel pleased.
"So what Rampart saying is Boss-bot didn't see the need to tell you what hole for? And me Gorgon does not question orders, otherwise me Gorgon wouldn't be digging."

Before Rampart could answer the Decepticon ship returned and slowly drifted down to the surface, have made sure to carefully conceal their existence once again with the cloak when needed. When the ship did unclock it hovered in the air to the side of the hole where they had been digging, having been there for a few kliks. After a few moments following it's uncloaking the ship landed softly back in the rocky area, almost exactly to where it had stood earlier.
Jets of steam hissed out as the landing ramp extended and Lord Triton stepped out followed by the remaining Destrons from the moonbase. Duel was the last of the Destrons to exit the ship having flown them back to the surface of Galia. Indeed, unknown to the others they had been there a while and had been listening for a while..
"Enough!", shouted Triton as he approached the others. "You may stop digging and take a break in your alternate modes, you must be close to overloading by now!", ordered the commander, Rampart frowned at his orders commanders to stop, contradicting his own earlier demands "Get your rest, and in the meantime, I 'm sure you remember the rest of the Cybertronian Street Assault Team!"
Quickchange transformed into his beast mode and crawled up to the top of the hole as Triton introduced the Street Assault Team. Rampart also transformed into his new beast mode, although he hadn't been digging, he had been in bot mode for quite a while and was near breaking point for overload himself, but had tried not to show it.
"To my left. Longrange, spoiler, Duel and Throttle", continued Triton and turned to his assembled warriors, "Go, find me something to burn in this pit we've created!" One by one the Street Assault team wandered off, still freshly charged and therefore unaffected yet by energon overloads.

Gorgon climbed out of the pit and transformed. Before he settled down in his tank mode, he examined the pit, impressed at how much he, Scathe, Roadranger and Quickchange had dug.
Gorgon manouvered himself to face Triton.
"Lord Triton, what this pit for? It be used for trap? Or distraction?"

Lord Triton turned and slowly walked back to the ship, as he approached the dark purple, almost black, armored vessel he outstretched an arm and leant on the ship, using the other arm to cradle his head. The high Energon spikes were getting him, soon he would have to stay in his alternate mode, but was hesitant to show signs of weakness - especially in front of Rampart.
The Destron leader turned back and softly muttered, "Both." muttered Triton as his Street Assault team returned with piles of branches and tree trunks from a near by section of woods. One by one they dropped the supplies into the pit. "I must be sure the Cybertron leader is dead, If they survive and they still think they're on an S.O.S. mission - they'll come running and we'll ambush any survivors - eliminating them all!"
Triton turned back again, and headed top the cargo ramp, dissapearing inside. As he went inside his disembodied voice carried, "Watch and observe!"
