Giants of the Earth, Chapter 28
A new chapter, and an extra long one, in which many things go boom! :)
Title: Giants of the Earth, Chapter 28
Author: hopeofdawn and fractalserpent
Rating: PG-13
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Sunstreaker, 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, with predictable results ...
White Aster was an awesome beta, once again--as always, all remaining mistakes are our own. :)
Atop that monumental ship, Defensor had gained a foothold, and was tearing it apart from within, red optics glowing with the gestalt’s fury. Watching the humans die in droves with each new alien attack had taken its toll upon the Protectobots, their grief and rage mounting each time they were unable to fulfill their core coding, unable to save the helpless organics under their care. Now, with the source of all that destruction before them, Defensor tore into the enemy with a savagery his fellow Autobots hadn’t seen in countless vorns. The gestalt’s armor shrugged off drone-blasts, though the destroyer’s own defenses had presented more of a problem. That was, until Rainmakers and Sunstorm breached the outer hull, giving Defensor the opportunity he needed to tear through the giant ship’s internals like foil.
