Somewhere over the Nexus, a portal opens...and out falls a very large, white bear. And unfortunately, as bears lack wings and/or anti-grav devices, this particular one suddenly finds itself under the cruel influence of gravity, harsh mistress that she is

A short distance away, another Transformer has found himself in this place. His lone optic flashes as he sees the sign... but then he sees something else that makes him even less happy than the general confusion.

"By the sacred name of Allyson Hannigan," Shockwave says, slowly getting to his feet. "Of all the Cybertronians to find myself unstuck in time with..."

He glares at Ratchet a moment, then his shoulders slump in dejection. "Suddenly, all the jagged pieces of my life come into place, don't they? ...my life is over. I'm in the Pit. Where is it?" He shakes one fist in the air. "Where is the Andy Gibb music, Primus? That's all that's missing, isn't it?" He drops to his knees. "I never should have played god! I never... should... have... played... god..."

He stops a moment, then looks at Ratchet again. "At any rate, how are you doing? Started to booze it up yet, drunkie?"

Ratchet stiffens at the sound of the familiar voice, a shiver running up his neural spine, one optic ridge twitching. "Awww sh--

--ockwave!" he finishes as he turns around, forcing the fakiest fake smile ever. Talking through gritted dental plates he walks over to the Decepticon Regent. There is not a single doubt in his processor that this is the Shockwave he knows. Not one. Who else would swear by Allyson Hannigan? "Oh ho ho, how good it is to see your...um...face. You're still calling that a face, aren't you? Can you really CALL it a face if you've only got one facial feature? And NO, I haven't started boozing it up. I wasn't lucky enough to fall through Maccadams before being dumped here!"

"Yes, of course it would be you. I detected your foul stench from the moment I arrived, Obi Wan Kaboozie." He glances down at the car hood of his alt mode, carefully inspecting it for scratches and dings. He then turns his attention back to the Autobot. "I take it you've learned at least something in the time you've been here? Such as where we are?"

"Oh, very clever. I see you spent your last moments in our reality surfing Youtube for new insults. Where were YOU when Starscream showed up on our front lawn with a Rocklord?" Ratchet watches Shockwave inspect his chassis for scratches before intentionally flicking some loose white fur all over the pristine sheen of what looks like newly waxed car hood. "And yes, I have, as a matter of fact. Remember when reality came apart the first time? Well, now we're apparently jammed in some crossing between all realities."

One optic narrows. "...and don't you think for one astrosecond that I've forgotten what you did to the Dinobots."

[shockslave]

"Cast not your discarded fur on me, Autobot!" His optic flashes menacingly. "And don't think I've forgotten about what your leader said to me about my weight, and my precious Willow. I should strike you down where..."

He stops. The optic strobes like someone blinking a few times. "Wait. Nexus, you say? Of all realities?"

[l33tmedic]

"It's not my fault I shed! And it's not my fault that you're so slaggin' easy to mock! At least when Jazz flirts with human women, he's got the charm and the looks to pull it off. What have you got going for yourself aside from looking like a sad, purple cyclops robo-bunny?" Ratchet folds his arms across his chest, sneering. "And yes, a Nexus of all realities. Good to know your delusions haven't corrupted your ability to understand English!"

[shockslave]

"For your information, Baloo, many women find sadness attractive. They call it "emo" these days. And bunnies are cute. So I have many things going for me that you, alas, do not. So eat and fish and enjoy a bottle of Coca Cola. For I intend to take full advantage of this so-called Nexus!"

Ratchet frowns, imitating the overall look of having rolled his eyes. "Whatever, emobot. Enjoy yourself on the insanity playground. Before reality fell apart, I had a smart, attractive female companion."
