Author's note: This is my first fanfic ever, so yeah just needed to say that. My four awesome friends Trevor, Alex, KellyWolfGirl, and Sammy5683 helped me write this, and encouraged me to write more. All of them normally don't read fanfiction (hence I didn't use their fanfiction usernames cause they don't have one other than Sam and Kelly), but they were a great help. They gave me some ideas so I'm just going to say: Thank you Trevor, Alex, Kelly, Sam and you four were and still are a great help! Even if all Trevor did was criticize my writing method…..I'm just kidding Trevor! Thank you four =) There Sam I included you, happy?=P
Disclaimer: I don't own the movie Megamind or any of it's characters. If I did, there would be a sequel already=) I got the names of Megamind and Metro Man's planets from FantasyBard's fanfic First Contact. And for the future chapters, I got Warden's name from Blue Rowan's fanfic Blue Days. Oh and kudos to the person who came up with Megamind's real name being Arcani cause I kind of use that as his name in this fanfic =)
Chapter one: Destruction of Tandara
Their small blue planet, Tandara, was being sucked into oblivion thanks to the nearest star that turned into a black hole. Destruction, and the screams of their kind echoed Tandara. Tandara and Nyra, the golden neighboring planet, had were in some terrible trouble. The mystery was, why did the star turn into a black hole so early? The star wasn't supposed to for another ten centuries or so. That was the question that confused them all, even Tandara and Nyra's most intelligent beings were bewildered and had no idea! All they knew was their planets were going pulled into a black hole, and all the live that thrived on them.
Violet Jaegar had just got married to her husband, Aric Jaegar only two years previous. Aric and Violet Jaegar learned they were going to have twins six months ago, and they were a very happy couple. And when Bob, Aric's minion, found out, he was bawling his eyes out saying that his little boy grew up (not that he didn't say that at their wedding). The only reason they knew he was crying was because his face was as red as a rip chewaberry, which are bright crimson.
Whatever could go wrong? Of course they spoke too soon, about a month before the birth of Alexiara and Arcani, the world's most famous scientist came home from the lab with truly horribly terrible news; the nearest star was dying and a black hole was forming in its place.
Aric found Violet seating on their hover-bed in their room, reading on her watch(one of his older inventions) as usual. She was sitting with her knees up to her pregnant belly, her emerald eyes scanning the projection as she read. She was just so cute, Aric thought. Aric cleared his throat to get her attention.
She looked up to see her handsome husband and smiled; he was home. She turned her watch off with a click of the off button, and turned her full attention to Aric. Aric then told her of the horrible news, and she didn't take it as well as he want her to.
"So you are saying that the star is dying about ten centuries early?" Violet asked Aric furiously, her arms gesturing wildly. She was no longer on the bed, instead she was walking back and forth on the right side of the flying bed, something she did often when something was bothering her. She knew that her husband's calculations were not always completely accurate but seriously? Ten centuries early? There would have to have been something seriously wrong with his math.
"Exactly, and if we don't act fast our race and the Nyrans are no longer going to be a living species. We need to think fast, what can we do? Mykael and I can not interfere with the star's sudden change, it's too much of a risk." Aric replied hastily, mentioning his long time buddy.
Mykael is a Tanderan with a purple pigment of skin instead of the popular primary color of blue, and has matching purple eyes. The purple pigment was not common, it's like albinism, he inherited from a family member (in this case the grandfather he never knew). He also has a bunch of dark purple freckles that are on his cheeks and nose. Mykael Abisasi is Aric's lab assistant, and also he is his best friend. Ever since kindergarten they were besties. They both wanted to be a scientist when they grew up so they agreed to work together as a team. And here they are, as best as friends as ever.
"Well, first things first, are you and Mykael going to tell everyone?" Violet hopefully asked, "That is WAY too important to just keep it a secret amongst all of the Nyran and Tanderan scientists. The people of Tandera, and Nyra, deserve to know if their inhabiting planet is in possible peril."
"No we can't, everyone's gonna freak out. We need everyone to remain calm." Aric answered her.
"I guess that is reasonable." Violet said. She considered the possibility of everyone freaking out, and she concluded the thought when she was 97.6% sure they would. She stopped pacing back and forth and sat on the side of the bed. Aric followed and sat beside her.
"Only Mykael, us, and all of the people that work at the lab know about the star. Oh, and some of the Nyrans know too, and the husbands or wives or families of the lab workers. We all agreed that it would be best to keep it a secret. You know how some will take it." Aric commented, absent-mindedly looking at his blue hands.
"Okay, are the lab workers at least working on space ships?" Violet asked, turning her head to look at him. She was hoping her husband had at least SOME good news.
"Unfortunately, it would take a few years to make a space ship big enough for our race and a pair of every species of animal on Tandara, so no they're not building a ship." Aric replied, now looking at her.
At was like light bulb appeared over his gigantic head, when his face brightened. Violet knew this look all too well; he had a new idea. That could be a very good or very bad thing. Aric replied, stating his crazy idea, "But I can 'borrow' some supplies from the lab to make a mini spaceship for Arcani and Alexiara. It would only take three weeks or so."
Bad, definitely bad.
"Absolutely not, Aric! That is against the lab's policy in many ways!" Violet scolded him violently. She knew it would only end in her giving in to his kicked-puppy eyes but it was worth a shot.
"But it's a way! Violet, sweetie, do you want Arcani and Alexiara to perish with the rest of us? Or actually have a chance at life, even if it means they have to live on a different planet. Even if I get caught by the agency I'm not going to be in confinement for long." Aric argued, taking her hands in his own while searching her eyes for any signs of defeat.
"But I don't want to be alone during the destruction of our planet, and I don't want to have to say goodbye to OUR children alone either, Aric! I'll miss you! And what if they decide you haven't learned from your mistake last time and kill you?! Or what if…..what if," Violet was cut off suddenly by Aric hugging her.
Aric leaned back, with his heads on her shoulders. While looking in her eyes he promised, "I won't be caught I promise! Please Violet, let me do this just this one. Last. Time. I just want to do what is best for our little ones."
He was already creating the blueprints in his head, but he really was itching to be granted permission to get it down on paper. He also had another plan. A plan to save his lovely wife.
How could she say no when he said it like that? And of course as she predicted, he was even putting on the kicked-puppy face. So Violet gave in, "Okay, fine Aric you can. Just please don't get caught doing this by the agency! I DO NOT want to find them calling me from the intercom outside of our house! Am I clear?"
"Okay Honey, I won't disappoint you." Aric promised. He would have to be very stealthy to not get caught by the agency, but it would be worth the trouble. He would be able to save his family.
"You better not." She muttered to herself while getting off their bed to start helping Bob cook dinner.
Three weeks and four days later, the twins were born, and the black hole was getting bigger by the second. But Violet and Aric were prepared, the tiny spaceship was complete in the backyard, and two minions were chosen, a greenish brown fish with amber eyes for Arcani, and a purple and pink striped aquatic turtle with crimson eyes for Alexiara. They picked the two minions by their personally; polite, loving, caring, protective, and loyal. They didn't even care if they were fully trained to be a minion or not, they just needed to know that both were good role models for their little angels.
Violet and Aric loved their children with all their heart, but today they needed to be strong and save them. They were sending them to the nearest planet with fairly intelligent life, planet Earth at the other end of the galaxy. Aric, being one of the fastest and most efficient mechanic on their planet, built the spaceship so that could go 564,898 times faster than light. That wasn't an uncommon thing to do as an inventor on Tandaren that was making a spaceship, after all, how would they have known that Earth had living beings there 5,000 years ago? Normally he would name his inventions, but today his mind was on other more important things like saving his family.
Of course he had to break the lab's policy "borrow" some tools and parts from the lab he worked at, but he was more worried about the huge black hole just about to consume and destroy Tandara and Nyra, and the slight chance of Arcani and Alexiara living on a strange planet with strange beings, than the lab's stupid policies. He was also worried about them fitting in, those humans can't even treat each other with respect! All of those wars, and the huge bullying problems in school, he could only dream that they fit in.
Then today came, which was probably the last day of their lives. The loving pair (and Bob) had to say goodbye to the infants, and send them off into space on a course sent for planet Earth. But little did Violet know, Aric had planned something very special for her.
The walls were shaking, cracking, and threatening to fall. Obviously it is being caused by a planetquake. Some of the nearby houses were actually caved in! The fence that separated Aric's backyard from their neighbors' yard had collapsed. All or most of the neighboring house's windows had cracked or shattered, including Aric's house. A few screams could be heard, then after a minute it was dead silent.
Violet and Aric chose the moment of silence to stop what they were doing, Aric was talking to Bob, and Violet was reading a story by her favorite author on her projector/watch (the watch projects normal stuff like TV and books, it is activated by touching a specific button on the watch, and if you are going on a game you can touch the hologram to make, for example, the flappy bird go up) to get the plan on a roll. Aric got the minions, binkies, and spaceship prepared for the infants, while Violet got Alexiara and Arcani from their room on the second floor.
When Violet got there, the babies were fast asleep. Arcani was snuggled next to his blue cat stuffed animal, while Alexiara was sleeping on her belly. Violet smiled sweetly at the fast asleep babies, and she pushed a few buttons on the rail of Arcani's hover bed that stopped the lullaby and it also stopped the built-in air conditioner (Tandara is not exactly what you would call cold, it's the complete opposite. Tropical and desert climate everywhere, even on the other side of the planet).Then she awoke Arcani and wrapped him in his black, and lightning bolt blanket. She did the same thing to his twin's crib, and then wrapped her in her white and pink heart blanket. Violet gently picked them up from their hoverbeds, and cradled them in each arm; Alexiara in the right, and Arcani in the left.
She then rushed down the stairs to the safely locked back door, and she awkwardly opened the back door by putting her right hand on the handprint pad that unlocks the door by handprints. In the backyard, Aric was finishing the last touches on his creation. The minions and binkies were on the hovering table next to the spaceship. As Aric worked, it was painfully obvious that he was meloncollie. It was written all over his face like someone had took a crayon, and had drawn an extremely sad frown all over his face.
The minions were waiting silently, because they knew what was happening. They knew that they needed to watch over Mr. and Mrs. Jaegar's children, and they need to be, well, a minion. They both knew who they were specifically assigned to be their master, aquatic turtle is to take care of Alexiara, and fish is to take care of Arcani. But they somewhat need to take care of the both of them, so they both were officially the first minions to ever be linked to two Tandaren beings.
A minion is a loyal companion that always watches over and takes care of their Sir or Mistress, no matter what happens. If their Sir or Mistress dies, they do too because of the strong bond between a minion and their Sir or Mistress. Everyone on the planet Tandara has a minion, well, in the beginning. Most species live very long, even longer than the average Tanderan (which is about 100 years). But if they are linked with a Tanderan they live as long as they do, with the exception of a sickness. But sickness' are rare for a minion to get. It's very rare since Tandaren beings always make sure minions get the necessary shots and vaccination for the different species of minions. Also, minions can be any type of animal ranging from a kind of fish to a species of feline.
Violet and Aric already told the minions about the situation, they plus Alexiara and Arcani, were going to be the last of their kinds. So that was already taken care of. All they needed to do was get Alexiara and Arcani, their minions and the binkies in the spaceship, and off to planet Earth. But that was the hardest thing to do. Imagine saying goodbye to your infants and sending them off into space not knowing if they will get to their destination alive. Now that, my friend, is VERY hard to do.
Violet ducked under the still raising door that she unlocked, and was instantly in the backyard. She then sped-walked/ran to the spaceship which was in the middle of their well kept lawn/garden. She placed Arcani in the right seat, and Alexiara in the left of the pod after she nodded at Aric signaling that he needed to finish what he was doing quickly. While she strapped Alexiara in, Alexiara was giggling and smiling, but Arcani was not. He had a very serious face on, that reminded Violet of Aric's face when he was going to work really early in the morning. It looked like he knew what was happening, and was not having any of it. That or he was just cranky from being awoken from his beauty sleep.
When she moved on to strap him in, he whined, cried, through his hands in the air, and generally was having a temper tantrum. She forced a fake smile on her lips, not really reaching her eyes, hoping that will calm him down. He still wouldn't have it, and his unhappiness was spreading to his twin sister like a deadly disease. They were both crying by the time she strapped Arcani in. They were both not helping the situation. At. All.
Aric finally noticed the dilemma by hearing them screaming, so he walked around the finished spaceship, to see both Alexiara and Arcani's faces purple with tears. So he then did what he knew what would cheer them up, make funny faces! Aric made some of the funniest faces Violet has ever seen, making her laugh uncontrollably. Upon hearing them laugh Arcani immediately started laughing with tears still running down his face, but he acted like he wasn't even crying in the last 5 minutes. Knowing that her brother was alright again, Alexiara started joining in with the fun. Aric joined in shortly after.
After laughing for the next minute, their laughs died down. Both the infants were smiling, making unintelligible noises, totally oblivious to the hazardous situation they were in. Arcani seemed to totally forget about his previous unhappiness, while Alexiara was just happy since her brother was happy. Violet and Aric smiled at them, then Aric started his important (obviously practiced) speech, "This is your last day on your home planet, Tandara I'm afraid. You will travel in this space craft I have made, to a planet called Earth. Most likely the humans there will take care of you, and so will your minions."
Violet picked up the two minions' spheres from the table, and gave them to Aric. Aric gave the female purple/pink turtle to Alexiara, and the male green fish to Arcani. "These little animals are your minions. They will take care of you, as a friend, as a servant, and as a lifelong companion."
Violet picked up a glowing pink binky and a glowing blue binky. She gave the binkies to Arcani and Alexiara. "And here are your binkies. They have a great deal of power inside of them. It can power almost anything! But with a great deal of power comes with a greater deal of responsibility. You need to be very careful with them, even though they are extremely hard to break." Violet seriously said.
"They also help deal with the pains of growing teeth." Aric added.
"Just remember we will love you no matter what you do. And we will always be in here." They both said in unison, pointing to their hearts.
Aric remembered something right before the spacecraft automatically sealed shut, "We believe you are distended for greatness."
It was sealed shut, and zoomed away leaving Aric and Violet on the doomed planet. Those said people were hugging as they watched their infants zoom off into space. Violet looked at Aric with puffy exotic emerald eyes, and tears rolling down her now purple cheeks. Aric gentilly wiped the tears off her face with his thumb, and kissed her cheeks where the tears previously were. When she began to cry on his shoulder, he whispered softly, "They will be fine, love. I'm sure of it. I freezeproofed it, waterproofed it, fireproofed it," and he babbled on and on until he heard a little muffled chuckle from his wife.
"Okay hon, don't hurt yourself. But do you really think so? Do you think they will be okay?" Violet questioned.
"I know they will." He truthfully responded, looking in the direction that Arcani and Alexiara disappeared.
Author's note: Yes! The first chapter is DONE =) I really had fun with this chapter, and just to tell you, by the very little power invested in me, I will NOT have Arcani-soon-to-be-Megamind's parents die, cause that would be mean. Plus Trevor told me he wasnt going to read it if they died...
The reason why everything is floating is because, if you had the power to do that who would not made everything floating? I mean come on, a floating bed would be AWESOME! Next chapter is gonna be about how I or shall I say someone will save them. Tell me what you think about my first fanfic=)
Oh, and I need to state something, astronomy is not my thing so the 564,898 faster than light thing is probably not really accurate *shruggs* I'm a herpetologist-in-training not an expert in astronomy.
I came up with their last names by going on surname%20lists/index%20to%20unique% .Don't ask how I came up with Alexiara cause I kind of you know….did. I just knew I wanted Alex somewhere in there and puff. I came up with Alexiara.
Edit: Sorry to the guys that followed, you might have thought that there was a new chapter that alerted you, well sorry. It was just me fixing up the chapters (in other words, being paranoid). And to make the next chapter make more sense, the floating bed can have two things that make the be float or four things in all corners. Thats how someone fell off his floating bed, he had the two thing that makes it float bed. And floating chair only have one thing that makes it float thats in the middle, so you've gotta have very good balance XD
Have a great fantastically awesome day everyone!
