Hey wonderful readers!
So I have a serious problem with the movie Megamind (I love it so. Much.) and so I did what fangirls do.
I wrote a fanfiction about it!
I am aware this chapter is extremely short, but give it a chance. You might like it. The chapters will get longer, I promise.
Disclaimer: I do not own the movie Megamind.
Prologue
"Sir?"
"Yes, Minion?"
"I think the satellite death ray just crashed."
And that was how Megamind and Minion ended up driving the Invisible Car in the woods at midnight.
It was almost Christmas, and Megamind was moodily munching on a box of doughnuts covered in tree-shaped sprinkles. He hated the holidays, but he loved holiday food. Especially donuts. Minion, beside him in the driver's seat, wasn't as big a fan. He was keeping busy watching for the machine he had seen streak across the sky.
"There it is, Sir."
Minion pointed to a spot in the woods, just around the corner from them, where a faint orange light gleamed. Megamind, who's mouth was full of doughnut, nodded, squinting in that direction before chewing and swallowing as they came around the bend and beheld the wreckage.
Megamind made a sound like an angry chipmunk, spraying powdered sugar all over the dashboard.
Minion gasped and braked.
It certainly wasn't the satellite death ray. It was much bigger, without the solar panels, and certainly without the dramatic spikes and silver M-and-lightning-bolts sign Megamind had insisted on putting on. This contraption was sleeker, made of black metal, with a streamlined design that spoke of speed. Megaminds fingers itched to draw it.
Unfortunately, the amazing machine appeared to be broken. There was a gaping hole on the bottom of it, and several holes in the glass windows that lined the top. Broken glass sprinkled the ground right up to the tires of the Car.
"What in evil's name…" Megamind muttered. He opened the door and hopped out, ignoring Minion's calls of "Sir! Be careful!"
Megamind picked his way closer to the wreck. Now that he was up close, he could see half-a-dozen dark shapes sprawled in odd positions several feet from the wreck. He even saw some in the trees, hanging there in the branches like sacks of flour. Furrowing his brow, Megamind gestured to Minion to turn on the headlights.
As soon as they switched on, something seized Megaminds ankle. He let out a very un-evil screech, yanked his foot away, and spun to face his attacker, arms and one leg up in the Crane Pose from the Karate Kid.
A low, strange rattling noise directed his attention to the ground. His eyes widened even more than usual when he caught sight of the thing that had grabbed his ankle.
His eyes fell on a young woman about his age, several long, jagged cuts showing on her skin from the glass. She was wearing a thin black cape much like his over black pants and a shirt. Her hands were bare, as was one foot. Several bruises showed against her skin through her torn clothes and high on her cheekbone and forehead, the color of crushed lavender and wilted rose petals.
The most astonishing thing about this young woman?
Her skin was blue.
Gulping, Megamind looked around. Lit up in the trees around him were other people, all bruised and cut up, all with blue skin.
Just. Like. Him.
Another rattling sound brought his attention back to the woman at his feet.
"Auttaa…meita…" she gasped, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. "Auttaa… meita… veli."
Her eyes rolled back into her head and she slumped to the ground.
Megamind stood frozen, hearing those same words over and over again in his head.
He hadn't heard that language since he was eight days old.
"Sir?"
Minion's voice startled him out of his reverie and he fell on his butt, jumping up again as quickly as he could.
"Minion, call the brainbots." He said. Carefully he crouched next to the young woman, rolled her onto her back, and very gently lifted her into his arms. Her head, giant and blue like his own, lolled onto his shoulder, her breathing still making that faint unnatural rattle. "Tell them to switch on invisible mode and come here." He looked around at all the broken blue bodies spread all around the wreck of the once-magnificent ship. He looked at Minion and started for the car. "We're taking them back to the Lair."
