Optimus Prime's First Last OOC Battle With Galvatron

Somewhere within Organ's Cascade Range...

Optimus Prime staggers, wounds covering his body, a sizable hole through 
his torso showing the seriousness of the damage that he's taken. He 
struggles to his feet again with superhuman effort....only to be blasted 
to the ground again under Scourge's assault.

Candice gulps from her nearby hiding place. "Optimus...NO!!!!!!!!!!"

Galvatron stands motionless as a statue, arms crossed over his chest, 
the light glinting off of his cannon......a sneer of pure hatred etched 
across his cold features. "Enough Scourge!" he orders with a cutting 
motion of his left arm. "I want this pleasure to myself....."

Scourge steps back, "As you command Lord Galvatron."

Cyclonus scrowls inwardly. "Such is not the appropriate way for an 
honerable oponant to die."


Optimus Prime struggles with himself, features twisted into a combination 
of pain and desperation. His rifle lays only a handswidth away...and 
shakingly, he reaches out for it.....only to cry out as his hand is 
crushed under Galvatron's boot.

Candice winces audibly. Unable to bear the sight she turns away...

Candice gains the courage to look again. "Stop!"

Galvatron's chuckle rises from his throat as he glances down at his 
hated of all hated foes. "Twice!" he exclaims. "Twice I will have the 
pleasure of killing Optimus Prime! Is there no greater glory than this!?" 
the tyrant throws his head back and emits a deep laughter that seems to 
reverbrate through the air like unending waves.

Cyclonus comments off-handedly... "Well, if you did it right the *first* 
time..."

Galvatron raises his cannon and turns it bear on the Autobot Commander's 
form, glinting for a moment as the light hits the barrel just right. 
Candice's scream all but ignored.....the Decepticon Emperor's finger 
tightens on the trigger. "Goodbye Optimus Prime. Again."


Candice buries her head in her hands...shrieking as the massive blast 
bursts forth.

Scourge grins in a strange satifaction.
Cyclonus simply stands there and glowers but doesn't move to stop this waste.

Optimus Prime stares upwards into the very face of defeat, his wounds 
keeping him down....but a certain cry belonging to a familiar voice 
strikes into him. Even as the cannon discharges he's moving, half on 
his knees as his hands are put together to form a massive piledriver. 
"NEEEEEEEEVEEEEER!" he yells as loud as he can, the sound of the weapon
tearing into his body mixed with that of the thunderclap that ensues 
from his fists striking Galvatron's chin. The warlord's look of ecstacy 
turns into one of suprise as he's hurled backwards and off of the peak, 
falling....falling....

Galvatron's scream of pain and outrage can be heard all the way down, 
right up until the crash of when he finds the ground far below. 
"AARRRRRRRGH!"


Cyclonus gaps with a "Wha---?" before he's shoved unexpectantly with his 
lord and kin...towards the firey abyss below...


Candice hears the blast, hears the cries...the screams...and looks up. 
Blinking back tears she can only stare at the one remaining there. 
"Optimus?"

Optimus Prime struggles after the blow......but it seems his last 
reserve of strength went with that.....as he collapses to one knee, 
then onto his stomach, one hand clutched around his torso in agony, 
as his form lays deathly still, the wind whistling across his form.......

Candice swallows a bit hard as she gathers one or two steps haltingly 
before quickly moving to the Autobot leader's side...buring her face 
within the shattered hull of his side.

Optimus Prime turns his head.....only enough that he can see the human 
female near him. Through cracked and dimming optics he reaches out with 
one hand and gently strokes her head with two fingers. "C.a.nd..ice....
its...all..ri..ght..."

Candice's tears flow freely as she lifts her gaze towards the fallen 
Autobot leader. She reaches out her own hand and places her palm against 
what's left of Prime's facial plate. "But you -- but you're..." She can't 
seme to bring herself to say the words...

Optimus Prime finishes it for her. "D..y..ing......." he openly gasps 
as his form seems to be losing its strength more and more. "Ju..st...t..
take....ca..re...of...your...self..." his whole body shudders, with the 
effort. "Ne..ve.r....for...get...." with that his hand slowly drops to the 
ground, as the lights in his optics dim completely.......his head lolling 
to one side.

Candice tightly shuts her eyes and rests her head against the Autobot's 
broken and shattered form. "I love you...Optimus..." she brokenly whispers. 
If only he could hear...

The wind continues to whisp gently over the lone peak, swirling 
around the body of the fallen Autobot Commander.....and through the 
hair of the grieving young woman. There isn't another sound except 
for her soft sobbing......as if the entire world has paused in view of 
Optimus Prime's death....

Optimus Prime [op] pages: Sheesh. After seeing this I don't -want- to see 
this situation arise. :)
You paged Optimus Prime with 'Neither do I actually :)'.
