Title:
Crescendo, Chapter 5 Author: fractalserpent, hopeofdawn
Rating: PG-13/T+
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse, with some G1 additions
Characters/Pairing: these chapters--Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Flipsides, Rumble and Frenzy, plus other background characters/OCs.
Warnings/Notes:Soundwave-centric, this fic is the immediate sequel to 'Oratorio' in the 'Sound and Fury' series. It takes place in the same continuity as 'Giants of the Earth', but is set hundreds of thousands of years earlier, on prewar Cybertron. The character designs, for the most part, are movie-verse with the addition of G1 colors and minor modifications as needed. Warnings for violence.
The alloygator had released the second mech’s arm, turning its attention to the first. Still trapped by the massive creature’s weight, the mech was screaming in incoherent fear, firing frantically into the thing’s thorax. Jaws opened, impossibly wide--then severed the mech’s helm with a savage *crunch*. Cabling sparked, leaking as it was ripped free with a shake of the gator’s head. Two more crunches, and the helm was just *gone*, tossed down that great gullet to be cannibalized for tiny parts and gears and energon. Laserbeak had heard stories of the great metal-eating predators that lurked in the shadowed depths below … but he’d never thought to see one this close! Cross-posted to
