Giants of the Earth, Chapter 31
Getting close to the end ... and in the words of one of our commenters, 'Primus sez he's tired of all this shit.' :D
Title: Giants of the Earth, Chapter 31
Author: hopeofdawn and fractalserpent
Rating: PG-13
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--the Giant, Bumblebee, Megatron, Optimus Prime, Sunstreaker, Springer, Soundwave, 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. No warnings for this chapter.
White Aster was an awesome beta, and was great in pointing out things we missed--as always, all remaining mistakes are our own. :)
“We’re more than a little busy right now, you slaggers, so you can fragging well put your guns away. Stand DOWN, Sunstreaker!” Ratchet snarled, alternately jabbing his little plasma torch at an overeager Decepticon from among the forces now surrounding them--though they didn’t seem to be too sure whether they were supposed to be hauling the Autobots off as prisoners of war or standing guard--and his own overeager frontliner.
//Springer and I can take point and punch us free, Optimus,// Sunstreaker turned to a higher authority. //We need to regroup. The minute the battle clears up, *he’s* going to be here, and you’re not in any shape to--//
“No, Sunstreaker,” came Optimus’ unexpected reply. “I will stay.” Blue optics turned, looking towards the advancing form of the Giant, and the ash-choked sky behind him. “The Giant, the humans, Autobots and Decepticons all have risked everything this day; I will do no less. And I believe … I wish to see what Megatron will do.”
