Giants of the Earth, Chapter 30
Catching up on my chapter postings--got a bit behind there!
Title: Giants of the Earth, Chapter 30
Author: hopeofdawn and fractalserpent
Rating: PG-13
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Sunstreaker, Prowl, Starscream, Astrotrain, Springer, Soundwave, Barricade 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 Decepticon-style violence and a little bit of interrogation ...
White Aster was an awesome beta, and helped a great deal on the technical chapters of this chapter--as always, all remaining mistakes are our own. :)
Barricade had to give the Siggrath one thing--at least they built their ships big. After several Earth-years spent confined to his alt or squeezing his way in and out of tiny, ridiculously fragile organic structures, the vaulted corridors and oversized hatchways were a relief. //Finally, some room to maneuver,// he remarked to Scorponok. The smaller mech sent back a brusque intertwined glyph of negation/amusement. //Oversized ship for an oversized mech.// Scorponok had been sparked to burrow, to dig and thrive in tight spaces and new-carved tunnels. Just the thought of being buried alive made an involuntary shudder run down Barricade’s backstruts, but Scorponok actually enjoyed it. Crazy mech.
