The 9th and final chapter of Crescendo is now up! :D
Title:
Crescendo, Chapter 9 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 Demolishor and other ensemble 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 and implied torture in these chapters.
Soundwave hit the ground in a frame-rattling, awkward sprawl. Talons pressed against a yielding surface; working on instinct, the carrier pushed himself upward. He could feel the press of that burning inferno, the weight of expectation and violence drawing him in. He was on his pedes, somehow ... facing the light, blinded by it. He lifted his helm, trying to see the shape of the mech beyond, and could trace only sharp edges, a solar storm made manifest in metal--
And then the mech *moved*, potentialities coalescing into action. -Violence- twined with unimaginable -strength- and -speed-, twisting together in efficient, brutal curling equations as a blade scythed towards Soundwave’s midsection. There was no time to think, to plan, to plead for mercy. Only to move without processing, pivoting away from a lightning-swift stab, falling inwards as if that radiance were a force of gravity, towards talons that slashed at faceplates, twisting away bare microns from contact.
