Giants of the Earth, Chapter 27
Title: Giants of the Earth, Chapter 27
Author: hopeofdawn and fractalserpent
Rating: PG-13
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Prowl, Starscream, Astrotrain, Springer, and many, many other ensemble characters ....
Warnings/Notes:Takes place after DOTM, with minor tweaks to movieverse events/characters (so there are minor spoilers for the third movie). Most of the characterizations will be taken more from G1--especially Optimus, who is *not* the 'kill 'em all, let Primus sort 'em out' character he is in the movies. Most of the onscreen 'deaths' of Decepticons and Autobots have also fallen victim to authorial override--see the fic for details. Warnings in this chapter for battlefield violence. Big ships go boom!
White Aster was an awesome beta, once again--as always, all remaining mistakes are our own. :)
The destroyer was now fully inside the envelope of Earth’s atmosphere, close enough that its jagged shadow blotted out the sun. The air itself felt thickened with pressure, squeezed between the earth and the invader -- ground effect on a massive scale. Beside that monumental hulk, Skyfire and the two Autobot ships seemed little more than twitchflies, and the Aerialbots were even smaller, motes of flitting color and light against the vast matte darkness of the alien hull.
