Since I'm sure the players in this little farce are just anxious to know how the next scene will unfold, I believe it is time for Act Two to begin.

[A pause, as he laughs softly.]

Ironhide, you're next.

Next for what? You want a repeat of the other day?

[destinedtorule]

Why not come find out, hm? Deck 3. Get here and make haste. Do not make me look for you.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Deck three? What was on deck three?]

I will come when I am ready. You do not order me.

[destinedtorule]

Do not keep me waiting too long. I promise, you will not like my reaction.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I will do what I please.

[But he'll go anyway. And take his sweet time.]

[destinedtorule]

[Ganondorf's waaaaiting. Come on, Ironhide, hurry up. Or you won't get your present before Uncle Redd whisks him off to the brig. And then you'll be left waiting and wondering just what he has planned for you.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Somehow, he thinks he'd be better off not knowing.

But even so, he shows up eventually, on his guard. He really... really wishes his cannons were here. If only for the intimidation factor. Now to find this annoying little organic.]

[destinedtorule]

[Ganondorf shouldn't be too difficult to spot. He's standing by the stream, hands clasped behind his back.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He stops a good few yards away, watching him. He has little doubts the other knows he's there--Ironhide was never stealthy--but he doesn't announce himself.]

[destinedtorule]

[He hears Ironhide approach and he spares the autobot a glance.]

I was beginning to wonder if you were going to show. Of course, I understand if you were afraid.

[Ganondorf turns after a moment and Ironhide might notice that Ganondorf is not looking at his face, instead he's studying the loose wires.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He does notice, and draws himself up, arms braced. Normally, this would be where he would power on his cannons.]

I am not afraid of you, nor any other sentient being. In any universe.

[destinedtorule]

[That's a waste of time, Ironhide. Ganondorf knows you have no weapons. For once, he thanks Captain Redd for making this so much easier for him.

He shrugs.]

No matter. As I've said once before, the fearless can be maimed just as easily as the cowards.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[More than anything, it's a force of habit. It also keeps his fists prepared. Just in case.]

You really think I fear pain? You think you can do worse to me than what I have already endured over millennia?

[destinedtorule]

You needn't be afraid, Ironhide. Only aware.

[He hms to himself before reaching out to grab at one of the loose wires and tug experimentally.]

I wonder what would happen if I yanked this out.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He steps back, hopefully out of range, his engine growling.]

I would retaliate. Your facial bones would not survive.

[destinedtorule]

Oh no, we cannot have that, now can we?

[He moves closer to Ironhide and looks as though he's examining the wires carefully. Now he's no expert on anatomy of any sentient being. But he'll just grab at what he thinks controls Ironhide's arms and yank with all his might.]
