Giants of the Earth, Chapter 21
Title: Giants of the Earth, Chapter 21
Author: hopeofdawn and fractalserpent
Rating: PG-13
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Prowl, Blaster, Jazz, the Giant, Flipsides, Soundwave and other 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 canon-typical violence.
White Aster was an awesome beta, once again--as always, all remaining mistakes are our own. :)
Soundwave’s crimson visor snapped skyward, tracking that dark rain -- the plasma from the planet’s own magnetosphere belts, drawn down into sinkholes of fluxing space. “Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage: return.” The symbionts scampered back to their master, leaping into the air and transforming even as Soundwave unfolded the heavy armor of his chestplates, heedless of the Autobots nearby. The symbionts’ frames compacted down, folding inward and socketing into place within astroseconds. Then the heavy plates were sliding back in place, locking together, and Soundwave was turning to face the new threat, sonic cannon humming with charge.
