"My Lord Megatron, please let me explain," Starscream said cautiously, rubbing his hands together.
"It was Optimus Prime who attacked my Base; he brought three subordinates and a special Earthling."
Megatron glanced at Starscream, motioning, "Go on."
"That Earthling can use a power that cannot be detected by radar. After I got close to him, he also used a wide variety of weapons. My Lord Megatron, the Earthlings on this Planet might not be as weak as we perfectly imagined," Starscream cautiously reminded Megatron.
After his encounter with Eller, Starscream realized that this Planet might be more dangerous than they had imagined.
But Megatron didn't care how strong Earthlings were. He was never someone who respected life. In his eyes, Earthlings were nothing but 'bugs,' 'inferior beings,' no matter what.
"Don't worry about the Earthlings' resistance," Megatron said coldly. "Your mission is to turn them into energon."
Starscream was still apprehensive about Eller's power. The Autobots would at most beat him up, but that Earthling had no kinship with him.
"But My Lord, if that special Earthling keeps launching sneak attacks on the factories, our collection progress will be affected," Starscream said.
"Since this Earthling country isn't suitable, then we'll change locations."
A hint of cruelty flashed in Megatron's eyes. He clasped his hands of different colors behind his back and coldly ordered:
"Soundwave just discovered a continent where Earthlings lack basic facilities. Earthlings call that place Africa. It's perfect, as I need to figure out where that metal with special power is. You go to Africa, Starscream."
"My Lord, am I going there as a local Commander?" Starscream asked with a hint of hope.
"No, you are just an overseer," Megatron said cruelly. He wanted to rein in his ambitious subordinate now.
Starscream said in disbelief, "An overseer?"
This was undoubtedly 'overkill' for Starscream, so he found it a bit hard to accept at first.
"Want to know why?" Megatron's tone rose slightly, then he reprimanded Starscream:
"Because you can't even organize a picnic. Knock Out will handle some of your work until you return."
"Yes, My Lord." Awed by Megatron's absolute rule within the Decepticons, Starscream had no choice but to agree.
And after Starscream accepted this order, a red figure appeared before Starscream. He was Knock Out, the Decepticons' current medical officer, whose vehicle form was a sports car.
Knock Out not only had a civilian sports car as his vehicle form, but he also lacked the Decepticon insignia, looking as if he could defect to the Autobots at any moment.
As for why he was used? It was entirely because Megatron had no one else available.
Soundwave, Starscream, Knock Out—these were the only three generals Megatron had left.
The Decepticons had no more usable soldiers. Thinking of this, Megatron missed the days on Cybertron even more.
"Senior, is there anything you need to remind me of?" Knock Out sidled up to Starscream, asking with a fawning tone.
Starscream gave Knock Out a cold side-eye, then said to Knock Out, "Be careful of Earthlings, Knock Out."
"I will, Starscream," Knock Out replied with a smile.
Knock Out was a Transformer who cared a lot about his paint job, like a vain pretty boy among Earthlings who cared about his appearance and makeup.
After completing a classic internal Decepticon squabble, Starscream was sent to Africa by Soundwave, while Knock Out took over Starscream's work in America.
Knock Out wasn't as impatient as Starscream. After taking over Starscream's work, he even reduced the workload of the Decepticon servants and soldiers, calling it—reducing attention.
After all, the Decepticons had to deal with both the Autobots and Earthlings. Even with cloned soldiers to make up the numbers, the Decepticons still didn't have the advantage in total numbers.
So Knock Out chose to play the long game, changing his targets to illegal immigrants and homeless groups, which would attract less attention and avoid confrontation with the enemy.
But the Autobots and Earthlings weren't idle either. With Ratchet's technical support, S.H.I.E.L.D. successfully discovered some Decepticon Bases and rescued some Earthlings.
After raiding a Decepticon Base, Scorpio sat on his purple motorcycle, secretly plotting how to kill Eller.
But after all these days, Scorpio had no opportunity at all.
Scorpio wanted to silently kill Eller, then slowly take over Geats's position, becoming the Superman admired by the World, becoming the only 'Kamen Rider' in this World.
If he were to suddenly attack in plain sight, Scorpio would become a criminal among criminals.
Moreover, Scorpio's power was still not enough. Although he found that the energy of these alien mechanical lifeforms could be absorbed by him, it was still not enough.
The chasm of desire needed to be filled. Scorpio was like a hungry Beast in the forest at night, attracting 'companions' also wandering in the Shadow.
"I can feel that you have a heart that wants to grow stronger."
A White-haired old man in a classic suit appeared beside Scorpio, leaning on a cane. He appeared as if out of nowhere, and no one but Scorpio noticed the extra old man there.
Facing this suddenly appearing old man, Scorpio was a bit wary, "What do you want?"
"My goal is the same as yours, young man."
The old man was Mephisto's incarnation on Earth. He extended an olive branch to Scorpio, just as he had lured Johnny into signing a contract.
"I also want to kill Kamen Rider Geats, so we are partners."
Mephisto smiled kindly, as gentle as if he were Scorpio's elder.
Upon learning that Mephisto was his 'friend,' Scorpio immediately became less wary. He merely retorted.
"Kamen Rider Geats is one of the strongest superhumans on Earth. How will you help me defeat him?"
"That's not difficult," Mephisto chuckled softly. "You have great potential, young man. You just need to get a small seed, and you will have a chance to kill our enemy."
As he spoke, Mephisto spread his palm, and a black seed appeared in his hand.
This was a seed containing pure demonic power. As long as it fell into the hands of someone with strong evil intentions, it would be ripened by desire and feed power back to the user.
But this was not power without a price.
"Do you have the courage to become a demon?" Mephisto stated the consequences, leaving the choice to Scorpio.
And in the face of the temptation of immense power, Scorpio knew exactly what he should do.
"Give it to me," Scorpio said firmly. "As long as I can kill Geats, I'm willing to do anything."
