Cocytus Bridge

[blackwingdove]

//Galvatron's sending something called the Dis your way. No clue what that is, but get ready to break orbit when I get there. And Jets, got a little something for you...//

//Acknowledged, commander. The Cocytus awaits your return.// Jetstorm stands in the center of the bridge, arms crossed

((Well, Galvatron's hurting now anyway. Even he can't fly into a capital ship's jets without feeling it.))

*falling... diagnostics screaming... can barely see, barely feel, nothing left but the will to fight, and he forces himself on... switches off diagnostics, warnings, everything that might stop him getting his revenge, getting satisfaction, getting what's HIS-!*

*which means that by the time one of the ship's guns clips him, it's all it takes to send him plunging backwards; and if he doesn't black out then at least he feels no pain as he crashes into an uncontrolled plummet from the top of Earth's atmosphere, winged in fire like a dying comet...*

*Dead Air shudders and slowly collects the pieces of himself back together, pulling back into his own body.* He falls.

*The Cocytus turns away and pushes away from the planet and the Dis and the Sun. Now it's time to get into the deep-darks between stars, put on the FTL drive, and make for Aldebaran.*

*is struck dumb for a moment, watching Galvatron fall through Earth's atmosphere, wrapped in fire as a shroud. Even envisioning all the various worst-case scenarios that sense insisted he had to prepare for, he had never thought this was possible. Galvatron - defeated? By someone other than him?*

*And Cyclonus is still...*

...slaggit. Pepper, plot Galvatron's trajectory. Protectobots, with me, we're going to get him. Move!

[corruptedhope]

I told him not to go... *bows his head quietly as if in mourning*

[giri_guy]

*almost but not quite a growl* He's not dead. It takes more than that to kill him. *joins the Protectobots at the east entrance*

[corruptedhope]

*follows, staying close to him* How could he have survived? Void would have either killed or captured him. *he's had the idea of Void as unstoppable beaten into him and it's still not worked its way out*

[chaos_gunner]

((is not dead, is over here...))

[giri_guy]

*doesn't mind his company, but he'd better not get in the Protectobots' way* Maybe your 'verse's version. This Galvatron is different. *Protectobots ranged around him, Rodimus Prime transforms and rolls out for Galvatron's last known coordinates.*

[corruptedhope]

*stays behind. He can't fly as well without his wings and he doesn't want to see Galvatron if he really is dead. Not after seeing his empty optics in a still-crazed face held in Void's grip.*

*Or if Galvatron lives, to see his disappointed glare for having suggested that he save himself and sacrifice Cyclonus*
