Giants of the Earth, Chapter 17
Title: Giants of the Earth, Chapter 17
Author: hopeofdawn and fractalserpent
Rating: PG-13
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Red Alert, the Giant, Jazz, Flipsides, Eject, Rewind, Blaster, Robert Epps, Kup, 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.
White Aster's awesome beta-ing gave this chapter a badly-needed final check--thank you so much! :)
“So, when are you guys gonna tell people about the hatchlings? I hate to say it, but the news is gonna get out eventually. From the Iranians, if nothing else,” Epps said, finally broaching the worry that had been eating him for the past two weeks. He’d found Kup alone at the firing range, and seated himself on a handy boulder to watch. It was a good thing they had space out here. The targets were the size of bottlecaps, but even then, the thing that shot the little ceramic spheres into the air had to be a good mile away just to give the mechs a challenge. It put Epps’s own sharpshooting to shame, that was for damn sure.
