So it only took us two years to finish this story--but the final chapter is now up!
Title:
Intermezzo, Chapter 9 Author: fractalserpent, hopeofdawn
Rating: PG-13/T+
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse, with some G1 additions
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Soundwave, Megatron, Ravage, Buzzsaw and other ensemble characters/OCs.
Warnings/Notes:Soundwave-centric, this fic is the immediate sequel to 'Crescendo' 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, dismemberment, and mentions of cannibalism for this chapter. (What can we say? Insecticons are not nice people. ^_^;;)
Twisting fluidly in midair, he landed on back pedes, transforming upwards into his bipedal form and giving the front two pairs of limbs the freedom to grasp weapons and manipulate controls. This scout was small, as Insecticons went, less than half the size of his warrior brethren, his plating elaborately patterned in shifting cobalt blues and tarnished silvers. It was an effective bit of camouflage; even now, under the tank’s fitful lighting, the scout seemed to fade into the background.
Still, the mech was as large as a warframed frontliner, and could be just as deadly, given cause. Resisting the urge to flare his armor forward or activate battle-protocols, Ravage slunk from the shadows… and click-chirped a greeting.
