*jaw is set and optics steady, though she's starting to feel just a tiny bit sick* So - Roddy, somebody, any chance I can borrow a medic?

And... *attempt at a smile, holding out a smallish-sized box* I tried the cake idea, but I don't know how well it worked. You could always use it as a missile if it didn't...happy birthday, guys.

*deep, pregnant pause*

//ETA twelve hundred astroseconds.// *suddenly as businesslike and martial as 'Boots has perhaps ever heard from him*

*Eleven hundred and sixteen astroseconds later, Rodimus comes careening into the room, skidding to a halt like an action hero.*

Scourge sees him out of the corner of his optics and shrieks, going on his knees and putting his forehead to the floor* My lord, I'm sorry, they didn't tell me what they were doing, just give us a little more time! *flicks a glance at Galvatron's cannon*

[chaos-gunner.livejournal.com]

*grabs Scourge's shoulder and yanks him semi-upright* You kneel to no-one but me! *snarling*

*looks at Rodimus* Prime! I never thought I'd be so pleased to see you. *crooked grin*

[corruptedhope.livejournal.com]

*is yanked up, gasping and staring at Rodimus* ...Rodimus is the Prime? *oh Primus, what has he flown into now?*

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

*croushes next to him* I promised you were safe here, remember? And Galvatron's here. If you don't trust me, you have to trust him.

[corruptedhope.livejournal.com]

But you said Rodimus was destroyed. *doesn't understand what's going on here at all* How can he be Prime?

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

No, sweetheart, I said he and Galvatron destroyed Unicron - Roddy never got turned like Void did. He said no. *wing carefully goes around his back, not touching*

[corruptedhope.livejournal.com]

*shakes his head* Rodimus didn't have a choice. The Matrix was corrupted. This one...is pure.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

This one didn't get messed with first. Galvatron wouldn't let Unicron have it. *practically glows with pride*

[corruptedhope.livejournal.com]

*stares in amazement, tasting the name on his glossa* Rodimus Prime. Incredible.

[chaos-gunner.livejournal.com]

Our Rodimus was true to his trust! *shoots a quick, teasing glance at Rodimus* Well, mostly, at any rate...

Look at him, Scourge. This is what your Void should have been! *points at Rodimus, who is looking all heroic and fierce and about as far from an evil sadist as one can get*

[corruptedhope.livejournal.com]

*just stares at this...abberation in the natural order of the universe* How?

[giri-guy.livejournal.com]

You did some creative reinterpretation of your job, too. *pokes glossa out, completely ruining the "heroic and fierce" thing*

*looks startled at the praise, then grins in a rather 'aw shucks' fashion*

[giri-guy.livejournal.com]

*returns the grin* Someone's got to clean up your messes. And anyway, anyone who wants to take Dreadboots's wings is going to have to get through me first.

[giri-guy.livejournal.com]

*blinks at the cowering being on the floor - he looks like Scourge, but the Scourge he knows sure wouldn't do that...*

Er... I think we have each other confused with someone else. *cautiously*

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

*shortly* He thinks you're Void.

[giri-guy.livejournal.com]

*horrified glance*

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Practically identical, remember? It's not you, don't worry. *goes to crouch next to Scourge*

[giri-guy.livejournal.com]

*muttered* Still...

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

He doesn't know you. He thought you were the guy that was going to yank his wings off.

[giri-guy.livejournal.com]

....he was going to what?

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

*jaw tightens* What d'you think happened to the other one? *moves just a little closer to Scourge*

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

*thin smile* Hey. *nods to Galvatron and Scourge over in the corner* You might want to avoid Scourge for a while. You'd scare him silly right now.

[lavender-wings.livejournal.com]

*gracefully steps aside as to not be run over* Welcome, Prime. *she means it too - like her Lord and Emperor, she's more than glad to see him - in a situation like this, it won't hurt to have a Matrix Bearer around*

[giri-guy.livejournal.com]

*breathless grin* Good to see you again, Steadfast. *abbreviated bow*
