THE MAD SCIENTIST RETURNS — AND SO DOES MEGATRON
Christmas decorations still hung around the school gym,
half-lit and slightly melted thanks to Ray and Ethan’s “Christmas Flamethrower
Experiment.”
(Which, for the record, Principal Tanaka specifically told them not to
attempt.)
But tonight the decorations were the least of their
problems.
Because somewhere in the ruined science building…
…a beaker rattled.
…a monitor flickered.
…and a half-melted lab coat twitched.
The Mad Scientist—previously zombified, cured, and then
promptly ignored—slowly sat up.
His glasses cracked.
His hair stood straight up like he’d been electrocuted by a toaster.
And his smile… stretched too wide.
“Those meddling children cured ME,” he hissed.
“But they did NOT cure my rage.”
He pulled a glowing syringe from his coat and stabbed it
into his arm.
FWOOM.
His muscles bulged.
His veins glowed green.
He grew eight feet tall.
He had become…
THE MEGA-ZOMBIE SCIENTIST.
And he was heading straight for the kids.
AT THE SCHOOL COURTYARD
Ray and Ethan were sword fighting with extra-long candy
canes.
Amy and Lucy were trying to stop them.
“You’re going to break someone’s face!” Amy yelled.
“Impossible,” Ray said confidently.
“I have warrior agility.”
He swung.
He smacked himself in the forehead.
Ethan saluted. “Warrior down.”
Lucy sighed. “You two need helmets. And supervision. And
probably therapy.”
Before Ray could argue that his brain was “99% durable,” the
ground shook.
THOOM.
THOOM.
THOOM.
The girls froze.
Ray and Ethan grinned.
“BROOOO… BOSS BATTLE,” Ethan whispered.
Ray nodded. “Finally. A challenge worthy of our stupidity.”
Lucy facepalmed. “This is why we can’t take you anywhere.”
The trees parted—
And there stood the Mega-Zombie Scientist, glowing
green, snarling like a blender full of nails.
“CHILDREEEEEN!” he roared.
Ethan whispered, “He sounds like my mom when I forget
homework.”
Ray whispered back, “He sounds like YOUR MOM when I
forget homework.”
Amy dragged both boys backward. “MOVING. NOW.”
They sprinted across the courtyard as the monster stomped
after them.
He smashed a bench.
Pulled up a lamppost.
Threw a trash can at Ray, who screamed:
“HE’S THROWING GARBAGE BECAUSE WE ARE GARBAGE—”
Lucy yelled, “STOP BRAGGING ABOUT IT AND RUN!”
