“They pay us… to help?”
“Yes,” Amy said.
“That’s how society works.”
Megatron paused.
“…Interesting.”
THE RESULTS
One month later.
Shockwave presented updated numbers.
“Incomes stabilized.
Reserves rebuilt.
Starscream no longer buys gold polish.”
Starscream sniffed.
“It was essential.”
FINAL SCENE
Megatron addressed the kids.
“You have saved us… without violence.”
Ray grinned.
“We’re good like that.”
Ethan nodded.
“Also terrible.”
Amy smiled.
“You just needed guidance.”
Lucy added,
“And fewer explosions.”
Megatron looked around his base.
“We may no longer conquer worlds,” he said.
“But we are… sustainable.”
Soundwave played an upbeat cash register jingle.
Starscream whispered,
“…Can we still conquer Tuesdays?”
“No,” Megatron replied.
