But before Rex could get away, the guardian flung itself to the ground on top of it, pinning Rex between the blacktop rubble and the body of the machine.

Sprite quickly got up, the fingers of the machine hand now loose. She ran to get the core artillery, knowing there was only one shot left. She grabbed it and turned in time to see the guardian manage to trap the damaged Rex under one foot and struggle to stand up.

She charged the orbiter.

Holding Rex down with one foot, he crushed Rex into the ground with the other foot.
