Giants of the Earth, Chapter 16
Title: Giants of the Earth, Chapter 16
Author: hopeofdawn and fractalserpent
Rating: PG-13
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Ratchet, the Giant, Jazz, Prowl, Seaspray, Perceptor, Flipsides, Hogarth Hughes, Mikaela and 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 specific warnings this chapter, except for technobabble and philosophizing. :) White Aster's awesome beta-ing caught more than a few flaws, however--thank you so much! :)
The Giant shook his helm. “Home … gone,” he said, the vast spread of his field shifting into muddied grays and reds, desaturated and indistinct, but turbulent. The big mech spread blunt fingers in the air, closing them slowly, as if trying to catch something intangible. “Too far ... I--remem-ber mountain. Remem-ber gray.” He extended his arm, comparing it against to Seaspray’s vivid white, blue, and gold plating. “No co-lors. Only hurting. Only gray.”
