Title: Descant, Chapter 7
Author: fractalserpent and hopeofdawn
Rating: PG-13 (rating may go up in future chapters)
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse, with some G1 additions
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Ravage, Soundwave, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Flipsides, Bulkhead, Demolishor, Overlord, Red Alert, Rumble, Frenzy, plus various OCs and other side characters.

Warnings/Notes:Soundwave-centric, this fic is the immediate sequel to 'Sound and Fury' and 'Anamnesis', and takes place in the same continuity as 'Giants of the Earth', but is set hundreds of thousands of years earlier, on prewar Cybertron. The character designs, for the most part, are movie-verse with the addition of G1 colors and minor modifications as needed. Warnings for violence and character death in this chapter.


“Soundwave: sees that the Overlord’s arrogance, only matched by his ignorance,” he called out, augmenting the pitch and clarity of his vocalizer to cut through the continuing gunfire. His usual monotone, Soundwave knew, tended to sound especially disdainful if he made no effort to modulate it; he now used that to full effect.

The Overlord stiffened. Paused to turn and glare in their direction. “You dare--”

“Overlord, cannot tell a mechkin from a mechling, a carrier from a creator. Your ignorance, evident. Your impotence, also.”
