2. TIME ELAPSED: 5 SECONDS — THE SNEEZE
Ethan felt a tickle in his nose.
Ray noticed him inhaling.
“Oh no—”
Amy hissed, “Don’t you DARE—”
Ethan tried to hold it.
His face turned red.
His eyes watered.
And then—
HAAAAAAAA-CHOOOOOOO!!!
It echoed through the entire valley.
Birds took off.
Car alarms went off.
A nearby vending machine somehow fell over.
Inside the Autobot base, an alarm blared:
INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!
Amy buried her face in her hands.
Lucy muttered, “There it is.”
Megatron, watching from base, screamed,
“THIS WAS NOT EVEN TEN SECONDS!!”
Starscream laughed so hard his wings shook.
3. TIME ELAPSED: 12 SECONDS — PLAN B???
Ray leaped up instantly.
“GO LOUD MODE!!!”
Ethan cheered,
“STEALTH IS OVERRATED!”
Amy yelled,
“NO IT IS NOT OVERRATED!!”
Lucy snapped,
“PLEASE DO NOT RUN STRAIGHT INTO THE FRONT DOOR—”
Ray and Ethan ran straight into the front door.
The door opened.
Because it wasn’t locked.
They crashed inside anyway.
4. THE CHAOS BEGINS
The Autobot outpost wasn’t heavily guarded, because Autobots
assumed no one would be stupid enough to break in at 8:03 a.m.
They calculated wrong.
Ray spotted a glowing object on a table.
“THE CELL!!”
Amy looked and groaned.
“That’s… a toaster.”
Ethan grabbed it anyway.
“Mission accomplished!”
Lucy smacked her forehead.
“That’s literally a Panasonic.”
Suddenly a towering shadow appeared.
Bulkhead stared down at them.
“…children?”
Ray waved.
“Hi!”
Ethan added, “Cool base you got.”
Amy smiled nervously.
“We are VERY lost!”
Lucy backed toward the exit.
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go—”
Bulkhead scratched his head.
“You’re Megatron’s recruits, aren’t you?”
Ray: “Technically.”
Ethan: “Spiritually.”
Amy: “No.”
Lucy: “NOT AT ALL.”
Optimus Prime
walked in.
“Oh! The little
ones. Megatron said you’d visit! Here to borrow something?”
Ray raised a
finger.
“Yes. But also no. But also yes.”
Ethan nodded.
“Do you have a glowing cube thingy?”
Optimus sighed but
smiled.
“You mean this?”
He opened a
compartment containing exactly one tiny energon cell.
The mission item.
Amy’s jaw dropped.
“You’re… giving it to us? Just like that?”
Optimus shrugged.
“Megatron asked nicely. We aren’t monsters.”
Lucy whispered,
“Someone tell Megatron he just lost a whole villain point.”
Ray took the
energon cell carefully.
Ethan bowed to the
toaster.
“Thank you for your service.”
