The staircase went down several floors into a large metallic room. Safes lined the walls, most of them either lying open or welded shut. Some of the ones that had been welded shut were open now. At the end of the room was a giant safe, the size of the wall, two stories tall. In front of the safe was a giant statue.
Of all the graveyards in all the towns in all the world, she had to walk into mine.
Antonio went down the staircase, following Orp. He walked over to the statue. "This must be the guardian the professor was talking about."
He stood still for a few seconds, looking at the massive statue. "I wonder if its even active." He then addressed the statue. "Can you hear me? We are here to collect an artifact of significant important to your creator."
"Now that's what I'm talking about. I'm going to watch out for quick-fast surprises."

Wooh.." Antonio stepped a couple of steps back, when ST ran into the leg of the giant. He hoped the statue would fall over, making it easier for him to do something.

(Just as a heads-up; looking for someone to get killed in this adventure. I'm serious. Francine will put you back together at the end, and you get a secret bonus for doing so. First person to PM me and volunteer gets it.)

Antonio had an idea. He would need the help of ST. "ST! Can you throw me? Aim for the head of that thing.." He pulled his sword out, hoping that ST would react fast enough.
Short Trunk pried itself free of the statue's leg and ran closer to Antonio. It planted It's feet firmly, sprouting tiny roots that stuck into the stone. It leaned back away from the statue.
"Are you sure you want to do this small-soft human."
Antonio was thrown up to the statue's head. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! He landed on its shoulder and attacked, driving his sword deep into the mechanical thing's head, causing sparks to fly. BAD TOYS! BAD BAD!
It wobbled and staggered, its foot reaching out and savagely kicking Short Trunk against a metal wall, splintering his body.
