SECTION 3 — DECEPTICON OPERATIONS
Megatron led them
to a giant map of Earth.
“Our activities
used to be… destructive. But now…”
He pressed a button.
New holograms appeared.
Amy’s jaw dropped.
Lucy froze.
Ray gasped.
Ethan pointed dramatically.
“BRO… YOU GUYS… SAVE CATS?!”
The hologram showed Soundwave gently
retrieving a tiny kitten from a 50-meter tree at 3 a.m.
Lucy: “I—I’m sorry, WHAT.”
Megatron folded his arms. “We rescue cats at night. It is
our most important mission.”
Ray clapped. “BRO YOU’RE LIKE GIANT ROBOT FIREFIGHTERS.”
Ethan wiped a fake tear. “Beautiful.”
Optimus walked by again. “The world never knows we do it.
They assume ‘the wind did it.’”
Amy wrote: “Heroic act. Needs more public recognition.”
Megatron whispered, “No. Recognition leads to selfies.”
The hologram showed Starscream angrily picking up plastic bottles.
Lucy: “Starscream? Cleaning??”
Megatron nodded. “He complains the entire time.”
Starscream’s recorded voice played through the speakers:
“WHO KEEPS THROWING CHIPS BAGS HERE?! DISRESPECTFUL WORMS!”
Ray snorted. “He sounds like a disappointed auntie.”
Megatron continued, “We remove trash. Restore ecosystems. It
is fulfilling work.”
Ethan whispered, “Respect.”
Lucy whispered back, “This is so weird.”
The hologram showed Decepticons
repairing:
- bridges
- electrical lines
- subway tunnels
- potholes (an act governments
fear)
Amy asked, amazed, “You guys fix everything? Quietly?”
Megatron nodded. “Humans cannot know. They will ask for
autographs.”
Ray: “BRO YOU FIX POTHOLES?!”
Megatron: “Yes. You’re welcome.”
Ethan: “I LOVE THIS PLANET.”
