"A ginormous, weird-looking planet just showed up in the suburbs of ... Milliways?"

[thechaosbringer]

...AKA, a "first entrance-y thing".

[OOM: Before Milliways.]Journeying across time, space and universes he arrives at this place

That's no moon, it's a. . .

It's a. . .

Cre'hktdi is hanging around at the base of the mountains, busy wishing she had her ship. She can't figure out how to get a better look at it.

[thechaosbringer]

It's big?

Yes, yes it is.

It is also alive.

It doesn't appear to be responsive. Yet.

[sighteddancer]

She's exploring by circling around under it, looking for. . . features? A pilot? Something written on the side?

. . . how high is it, anyway? If one theorized it had very well-contained gravity, would it be possible to try jumping and seeing if one were to fall onto it?

[thechaosbringer]

No pilot. No one is steering this thing.

Height? Big [which can mean a lot of things-scale in Transformers is hopelessly screwed-up]. But at a miniscule fraction of his true size.

Though it's not evident to observers, his systems have confirmed that this is the place he had been aware of for some time but was unable to locate.

CURIOUS, FLESH CREATURE?

Well, there's brave and there's survival instincts of an eggplant. Ray was going to get in some lightsaber practice before the GIANT SHADOW OF DOOM turned up.

"Oh wow," he says involuntarily, staring upwards. Then, because as we said, the man's got the survival instincts of an eggplant*, he raises one hand.

"Hi there!" he calls out. "Welcome to Milliways! Um... can you hear me?"

*and not the wily jungle eggplant, either, but the one that gets made into babaganoush

[thechaosbringer]

You know, his response is better than the one a Transformer gives.

They are scared of him. Those who haven't had the oh-so-bright idea of making some kind of pact with him [never a smart thing-ever].

The horns on either side of his mouth move.

That could be an indication of him hearing Ray?

[gone_byebye]

Entirely possible. Ray certainly takes it as that sort of sign.

"My name is Raymond Stantz. You've arrived at the end of the Universe, whoever you are," Ray shouts upward. "Am I addressing a single entity, a colonial machine lifeform, or a vessel with external response indicators?"

[thechaosbringer]

His voice is not one one hears audibly. More, it's a kind of telepathic voice [explains why he never moved his lips when speaking, thus no one can say he never lied on-screen].

SO AT LAST I HAVE MADE IT TO THE END OF ALL THINGS, he says to himself. He almost sounds pleased. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE MULTIVERSE IS ASSURED. THIS EXISTANCE OF THIS PLACE CONFIRMS IT.

Wait. There's a flesh creature addressing him?

I AM UNICRON, FLESHLING. AN ENTITY OF ONE.

[silentson]

Some things have to be done. Narrative demands it! So that, when a giant, planet eating creature is encountered in a place with heros, one hero must step forward, fly into the sky, and raise a single hand towards the being, to declaim something stupid but heroic.

Thank God Jericho got the body with flight.

"Hello the giant- Thing."

[thechaosbringer]

Behold! Unicron is trembling in his orbit.

Really!

Well, it could be trembling?

No wait, I think that's laughter.

Congratulations Jericho! You made the Chaos Bringer laugh!

Very impressive!

[silentson]

C'mon, he's in a Kryptonian body! This thing could tear through the planet like, like, like a super powered human tearing through a mass of metal. Not that he would. Or that he can control it that well, but c'mon. Fear him!

But the thing is laughing, so, good, yes? "Hello?"

[thechaosbringer]

The closest Jericho could come to ripping any metal off the Planet Eater would come in the form of the robot equivalent to exfoliation.

Which would have the nice effect of giving his planet mode a radiant glow.

Make him more reflective.

Shiny.

I AM UNICRON, FLESH CREATURE, he says, when he ceases laughter. He laughs telepathically too. WHO ARE YOU THAT PRESUMES YOU ARE ABLE TO HARM ME?
