Flying is just throwing yourself at the ground and missing.

(Falling out of this thread here!There is a hole in the ground. Well, not even a hole. More of a crater, its edges fused and glassy, the vegetation around it burned to inch-high black stalks within a quarter-mile radius. The puddle of slagged and melted debris at the bottom of the metres-deep wound in the earth bubbles and smokes quietly to itself ( Read more... )

:: peers into hole:: Well, *you* got pwned.

:: ponders:: Y'know, last time Galvatron had to make a forced re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, he came up screaming and ripped Guardian's head off because he mistook him for someone he wanted to kill ...

... I'll be going, yo.

*a rumble of multiple engines heralds the arrival of Rodimus and the Protectobots (and no, that would not be a good name for a rock band, thank you very much), with alt-Scourge in tow. The Protectobots remain in vehicle mode while Rodimus transforms and shields his optics from the steam.*

*He can just barely make out Galvatron's form at the bottom of the crater, wreathed in steam and superheated air and slowly-cooling destruction. He's not moving, and it's entering Rodimus's mind that despite his assurances to alt-Scourge, Galvatron might actually be - *

* - no. Giving his head a sharp, impatient shake, and with no regard to the dignity of his station, Rodimus vaults over the edge of the crater and starts sliding down, steam and sparks released in his wake.*

Galvatron - ! Hang on!

*that voice isn't the one he was most listening for, the one he instinctively expects above all, but then the owner of that voice is a prisoner on board Void's ship and Galvatron failed to get him back! - and with that thought, full and horrifying awareness explodes through the fallen warlord's dazed mind*

*below Rodimus, the molten rock roils and surges, bubbling as powerful engines fight to fire through their submersion* *like a rising Leviathan the lord of the Decepticons ascends from his blazing grave; his armour is blackened and crusted with cooling magma, his crown is shattered, his tailsight is snapped off halfway up its length, his shining colours are burned and melted away* *but his optics are slits of carmine fire, and the way he raises his great gun as he straightens painfully to his feet says more than words*

*looks up, sees Rodimus*

Rodimus... *his voice is ragged, but still powerful - and yet, he speaks with a kind of quiet desperation that seems foreign to him*

...tell me I got him.

*appears from the skies above, transforms and touches down, followed by a small gaggle of Sweeps who immediately all cling to each other* *sees Rodimus, and his own alt, and the others*

Prime, what happened to-?

*sees Galvatron*

Ohhhhhh bugger. *cowers pre-emptively, wings curling inward*
