Do you remember the time I told you the story of how I created a villain, defeated him and saved the day? Remember when I told you about how the city finally accepted Minion and me? I told you all about how Roxanne was in trouble and she called to me for help, and how Minion and I saved her. My favourite part about that story was when the battle was all over, and Roxanne looked at me with such joy, and told me I had done it, that I had won. I told you she was happy, and the city cheered for us, Roxanne hugged me and we all danced and celebrated my coming to the side of good! But I tell you now what I couldn't bring myself to say all those years ago… I lied.

I know you probably don't want to hear it after the spectacular ending I made up, but not all of it was true. Yes, Roxanne called for me to rescue her. Yes, Titan had her tied to the top of Metrocity Tower, Minion came disguised as me and I went disguised as Metro Man, and together we defeated Titan! But the way the people of Metrocity reacted to my promise to change did not go to plan. The way Roxanne reacted did not go to plan… In the past things have never tended to go right when I tried to be good, I don't know why I expected something different this time around. I had thought it was me who was the problem, I was the reason it was impossible for them to accept me, but while I was willing to change, the city was not. But you see, I know now where it is I went wrong; I was prepared to run right back to my old ways should something have gone bad.

In truth it still hurts deep down, but it has dulled over the years to something I don't often think about. So much has happened since then, I have discovered there is so much more, and I am finally ready to tell you about it. I hope you enjoy the story, the true story, of how I discovered and overcame the true evil within me, was given a second chance, healed of my pains and found true love…

Roxanne panicked as she was backed up against the pillar in the fountain, the man known now as Titan advancing on her menacingly. His eyes glowed red, becoming brighter and brighter as he prepared the laser to fire.

"Say bye bye Roxy." He growled in preparation to kill her, but just at that moment a small, blue, glowing cube splashed into the water between them, and suddenly a familiar blue villain sprung up in its place.

"Ollo." Megamind smirked, as if he knew something they didn't. The defuser gun fell from the sky and Roxanne jumped as it landed perfectly in Megamind's open hands. It bleeped as it became fully charged and ready to go. Without a moments hesitation, Megamind pulled the trigger and the gun went off, drawing the powers right back out of Hal, and the man fell dazed, to the ground.

"Thing about bad guys," Megamind started, attempting to come up with a good comeback at the same time as he was also regaining his breath. "They always lose!" He shouted down at the man, who replied semi consciously with a dull; "oh…"

Megamind stood there for a second, just looking around and getting his breath back, before slowly stepping out of the fountain and offering his hand to Roxanne to help her out too. She shakily took his hand and allowed him to help her step out of the fountain. "Roxanne, are you hurt?" He asked her softly.

"Thanks. I'm fine." She replied looking away awkwardly.

Megamind studied her face best he could while she refused to meet his eye. "Are you sure?" He asked sounding concerned. "I'm sorry I left you Roxanne…" He apologised, thinking if he hadn't given up she wouldn't have been in such danger.

"You did it. I can't believe you won!" The reporter exclaimed, trying to get her head around everything that had just happened.

Miss Ritchi, you have so little faith." Megamind joked, knowing very well it was a not much less than a miracle that he had pulled through. "It was no coincidence that I won but only this one time Roxanne, I sided with good, and I finally had a reason to win."

"What do you mean by that?" Roxanne questioned hesitantly.

"The reason Roxanne, was you." Megamind smiled, blushing a little and stepped towards her, but was surprised when she immediately drew back.

Roxanne stared at him, looking slightly confused and agitated.

"Just hang on Megamind, are you really saying what I think you're saying? Are you trying to play the hero who gets the girl?"

"I uh- I…" Megamind shuffled nervously. There was been something he had been waning to say to her for a long long time, and now had seemed like his only real chance, but is was hard to find the right way. He really wanted to get it right. "Roxanne, its not about becoming a hero. I love you."

Roxanne took a step away. "Oh Megamind…"

This hadn't been exactly how he had wanted the conversation to go, but he continued on. "Roxanne perhaps we need to talk… You know, about what happened in the restaurant."

Roxanne quickly looked around to make sure no one was within earshot, only to be met with the sight of a crowd gathering around them both. Everyone probably knew anyway.

"And every moment before." Megamind added.

"You can't seriously expect me to believe that you love me, can you?" Roxanne grimaced in response.

"I'm telling the truth Roxanne, let me speak. My intention was never to trick you or hurt you. I truly love you, I have loved you for a long time and I hate that I hurt you. I will do anything I can to make it right."

Roxanne realized he was being serious. "Can you really expect me to love you back?!" She exclaimed, angrily. "You have kidnapped me! You have terrorized the city and tried to take it over, you are a vandal, a nuisance, a liar and a thief! You have no regard for anyone but yourself. You don't care about me or you wouldn't have made me a victim of all your crimes! You don't deserve redemption. No one is going to forgive you. You earned those eighty eight life sentences, and you are going to make it right by paying it out in prison."

Megamind recoiled, shocked, wondering how long she had been waiting to say all that. It broke his heart knowing that's what the love of his life truly thought of him. He took it in and regained his posture. "I feel like I have already done my fair time in prison actually." He gritted his teeth. "They took the first half of my life from me." He was kind of mad too. This was not going the way he had planned.

"Oh boo hoo, that doesn't change anything! You could have chosen to do good things instead of bad! You could have chosen to be normal!"

"No Roxanne, I couldn't!" Megamind shouted. "You have no idea do you?!"

"No, I know, you were brought up in the prison by the inmates and the warden, in a strict environment that couldn't even keep you contained. They tried to send you to school but you caused so much trouble that they literally relied on Wayne to keep you under control, and when they finally couldn't take it anymore they had to send you back to prison." Roxanne said. "It's hardly a sob story. It's no wonder the kids didn't like you."

Megamind instantly regretted telling her about his time in school. He was surprised at how horrible she could make him feel. He swallowed. "Is there any way I can be forgiven?"

"Last I checked, no." Roxanne said bluntly.

Megamind stood silent as he processed what was happening.

"I know you saved me Megamind. I know you saved the city but it's just not enough. Do you really expect you can redeem yourself with a single good deed? It wasn't going to work. It was really more of a 'you got us into this mess, you get us out of it' kind of deal." Roxanne told him.

Meanwhile the crowd had been silent the whole time, listening to every word that had been uttered. Suddenly, from the back of the crowd a voice yelled out: "Send him back to prison!" and it set the lot of them off. There were cries of much the same, "put him back in jail, he's a villain, you can't trust him, he'll never change".

Megamind was taken back. He could practically hear his heart cracking into pieces. Here he was, standing in front of Roxanne and the people of Metrocity after having just saved them all from a villain- a real villain, and they still were mad with him. He was being rejected again. The second Titan was defused, they all went right back to fearing and hating him. It is always going to be like this… Megamind realized. The world needed something to hate. Something to fight against, and it was always going to be him.

"Fine! I'll leave this place!" Megamind shouted so everyone could hear. "It sounds as if we will be better off without each other!"

"Where are you going to go?!" Roxanne exclaimed surprised.

"Away!" Megamind shouted back. "Away from this city, away from you!"

Roxanne felt something when he said that, almost as if she didn't want him to leave. "There's nowhere for you." She warned.

"Anywhere would be better than here." Megamind said in all seriousness, making his way over to the fountain where Minion lay watching, wide and even a little teary eyed at the events that had just played out. "Come on Minion, we're leaving."

"Sir...?" The fish asked up at him, but no one had any more to say.

Megamind simply reached down and picked Minion up in his hands and started to make his way over to the invisible car.

The crowd started yelling, encouraging him to leave. They didn't care. They would be glad if he were finally gone. Megamind's vision was so fuzzy, it was almost a good thing Titan had ripped the door off of his car.

Wordlessly, Megamind got into the car, placing Minion into a spare bowl filled with water they had learned to keep around. Megamind took one last look at Roxanne, and the citizens of a city that had caused him nothing but pain, and confirmed to himself it was the end. "I'm done, Minion." He sighed shakily, before turning the car right around and driving away as fast as he could.
