Description
This is a scene from my Fanfic "Maelstrom". In my storyline Vector Sigma has been manipulating both sides of the war since the get go - keeping the factions in balance and fighting. Things get ugly when the Autobots find out and it starts fighting back the only way it can.Maelstrom - 9 full B&W comics and a few thousand pages of fan-fiction. Rated M for violence and language. Series Start:
Mature Content
Chapter this scene is from:
Maelstrom Ch 34 Dusk prt A
Author's note: This story is part of a LONG series called Maelstrom. It is strictly Gen. 1 - sorry, but that was all that was out when I started writing. If you have not read the nine original Maelstrom Comics and the preceding text stories, I strongly suggest you do.
This scene contains strong language and violence. Rated M for adult themes! Really! Transformers characters belong to Hasbro. Critiques adored!

Rodimus and Lancer landed hard - again. That they were in the same courtyard outside of Central was no surprise. That everyone they had said goodbye to so long ago was standing in roughly the same place was a surprise. The teleport left them ill, but Lancer caught sight of her kids and moved, almost shocking Malice into dropping the baby.
Certainly the telekenetic thought the tears and obsessed inspection was a bit over the top.
Rodimus morphed and pounced on his partner. “Optimus! What day is it
Obviously I am a Transformers fan-girl. The art is mine. The characters are Hasbro's.
EXCERPT FROM Maelstrom Chapter 34 DUSK Part D:
Rodimus’ optics lost that self-satisfied little twinkle. “Am I going to have to fight you again Optimus?” he asked quietly.
That did it. Optimus transformed.
“No. I won’t let it bring us to that again,” Optimus said sadly.
“What set you guys off?” Rodimus wanted to know.
“Vector Sigma was trying to influence us,” Elita told him.
“To do what?” Magnus asked.
“To go down and move it...so it would be safe from any of you going ballistic and killing it tonight. It probably thought that once we moved it for its own protection tonight, that it could keep convincing us to protect it indefinitely.”
Rodimus chuckled. “Obviously that backfired a bit. Lancer has sworn to me for years that we are out-evolving its control. I guess it didn’t realize.”
“Yes, but it still holds sway on many people,” Elita said grimly.
“Well, I bet it is sorry it didn’t tell one of them to move it instead of you two,” Magnus grinned.
The four of them looked at each other.
This was the only open access to Vector Sigma. Rodimus had insisted all the others be collapsed and hidden...but Vector Sigma knew where they were. If enough people working together under its direction started digging....
The four of them transformed as if THEY were controlled by one mind and started down the tunnel again as fast as they could go. They’d only gone about two-hundred yards when an enormous clawed hand punched down from the surface in front of them. It retracted - leaving a pit that extended down several levels in front of them. Above them was a gaping hole to the sky.
A multitude of voices shouting triumph as one voice came down from the surface. To those in the tunnels who were seeing star-light from below it was as if the stars were screaming. Then the enormous shape of an angry Guardian eclipsed the heavens and punched down at them again, widening the gap before them.
Omega Supreme.
He actually didn’t punch that deep...just a level or so, but the floor he pushed down with such force crushed the floor under that, and then the floor under that.
It was a while before the booming and echoing of destruction stopped below them. Above them, a multitude of glowing optics made a ring around the hole, and they saw Omega’s big hand drawing back.
“Oh...not good,” Rodimus said to no one in particular.
“What?” Optimus shouted over the noise. “No sneaky assassin’s tricks?”
“Only if I want to kill someone!” Rodimus said. “Which I don’t!”
“But I will if I have to” went unspoken, but they all heard it anyway.
This time Omega Supreme’s hand came for them instead of before them.
“Constructicons enemies!” Omega intoned.

Woo Hoo!!!!! Maelstrom art!!!! I still thinking you should draw the scene in which Op gives Rodi a certain digit
Omega looks pretty menacing in the background there, I would have leaked some lubricants if I were an Autobot in that situation

Yeah well, he IS a bit of a challenge to fit into a composition if you want to include anyone smaller. That's what you get for being the size of a building.

This is a really creepy story but interesting alternate universe. The picture really conveys the dark world they are in. The description above makes looking at the picture a lot more thought-provoking. It took a second for me to realize that all the optics were blue! And another thing, it almost felt like I could've been there.

illmatar In reply to loaves [2010-06-17 21:12:58 +0000 UTC]
Heh. Thanks. I'm glad you like it. The story is part of Maelstrom, if you'd like to read the rest of it. Warning - it is mostly dark like this, and very, very long. It starts with 9 comics and then switches to about 4000 pages of text. The fact that it made you feel like you were there is the highest compliment you can give a writer or an artist. Thanks very much!

LOL! We were talking about my over-rated comic/fanfic and I was saying you could read it if you were old enough and wanted to suffer. Here's the link [link] but if you are not a masochist you might want to avoid it at all costs!

It's all up in folders in my gallery. The start is the black and white comics then it degenerates into text because I couldn't keep up. You have to be 18 though.
