THE KIDS TRY TO FIGHT BACK
They ducked behind the sports shed.
Amy pulled out the emergency cure vial.
“The cure worked on Santa and the chickens. Maybe it’ll—”
Before she could finish, Ray grabbed it.
“TRUST ME,” he said.
“No,” Lucy said instantly.
“Absolutely not,” Amy added.
But Ray was already marching out toward the monster like he
was some kind of hero.
He held the vial up dramatically.
“HEY BIG UGLY SCIENCE MAN—TASTE CURE!”
He threw it.
He missed by four meters.
The vial bounced off a tree.
Hit Ethan’s head.
Exploded in a puff of sparkles.
Ethan blinked. “Did I just get cured of something I didn’t
have?”
Lucy groaned. “RAY, YOU WASTED IT!”
Ray corrected her: “I strategically mis-aimed.”
The Mega-Zombie Scientist roared and charged.
“Ohhhh you made him mad,” Ethan whispered.
Ray shrugged. “Cool.”
Amy pulled them both by the ears. “WE ARE GOING TO DIE.”
AND THEN… A NEW SOUND ECHOED
A distant metallic VOOOOM-VOOOOM.
The ground shook again.
A shadow covered the courtyard.
Something MASSIVE landed behind the Mega-Zombie Scientist.
The kids looked up.
Ray screamed.
Ethan cheered.
Amy froze.
Lucy whispered dramatically:
“…oh no.”
Because standing there—arms crossed, eyes glowing,
expression disgusted—
Was MEGATRON.
Yes. That Megatron.
Lord of the Decepticons.
Destroyer of worlds.
Roaster of children.
He looked down at them and groaned.
“YOU AGAIN?!”
Ray pointed at the monster. “BRO YOU’RE JUST IN TIME—”
“I DID NOT COME TO HELP YOU,” Megatron snapped.
“I came to tell you to STOP RUINING MY RECORDINGS. Your chaos is leaking into
Decepticon radio frequencies.”
Ethan saluted. “Thank you for your service.”
Megatron glared. “I will kill you last.”
The Mega-Zombie Scientist roared again, raising the lamppost
like a club.
Megatron slowly looked sideways.
“…did that organism just try to threaten ME?”
The monster swung.
CLANG.
The lamppost bent against Megatron’s armor like a noodle.
Megatron sighed.
“Oh, you fragile biological embarrassment.”
And then…
Megatron roasted him.
LITERALLY roasted him.
He fired a heat blast that turned the monster’s hair into
flaming cotton candy.
Ray screamed. “HE’S COOKING HIM!”
Ethan clapped. “CHEF MEGATRON!”
Amy yelled, “THIS ISN’T HELPING—”
Lucy shouted, “HE’S ANGRY AND ON FIRE—”
The Mega-Zombie Scientist spun around raging.
He grabbed Megatron’s leg.
Megatron looked offended.
“You DARE touch me? Disgusting organism!”
He lifted the monster with two fingers and YEETED him across
the courtyard.
“CHILDREN,” Megatron growled, “finish this so I can LEAVE.”
