(Death takes us to the entryway leading to the Underworld, where we witness a wide river in our path)

Death: Here it is. Once we cross this river, we'll officially be in the Underworld.

Adrien: But how do we get across? If I know my mythology, the ferryman only allows souls of the dead to cross the River Styx once they pay the fee of a single gold coin.

Death: And that is exactly why we won't be taking the ferry.

Conker: What?!

Death: You may not know this, but I know a shortcut inside.

Me: A shortcut, you say?

Death: Yeah. Follow me.

(We follow Death towards the shortcut he mentioned)

The Zootopia Mega Squad

Chapter 1: New Friends, Old Problems

In front of the Zoo Metro City Hall, the indigenous Megamind is the center of attention in a press conference. He waves to the people of the city, who cheer for him. "So, fair citizens of Zoo Metro City, I, Megamind, do hereby declare through my ingenious efforts that crime is now a thing of the past in our fair cities." Megamind declared.

"Really? Then what's next on your agenda?" KMCP News reporter Roxanne Ritchie asked him.

"Yes, well… uh, things; important things…" Megamind trailed off, laughing nervously before contacting Minion on his communicator. "Minion, what's next on my agenda?"

"Let's see, uh, is this the eighth? Oh, okay. You're going to reprogram the Death Ray to give everyone in the city free cable." Minion told him on the other end. Just as Minion finished speaking, an explosion can be heard within the city. Roxanne's phone starts ringing.

"Roxanne Ritchie." She answers the call. The voice on the other end tells her who was responsible for the explosion. "You're kidding me. The Doom Syndicate? Yeah, we just heard the explosions. Megamind? Sure, I can ask him…" But as soon as she turns around, Megamind has already left.

Megamind returns to his lair and finds Minion looking over the damage in Metro City. "Minion?"

"Sir! You came here quicker than I thought!" Minion greeted. "There's a lot of damage going on in the city!"

"So, I take it the Doom Syndicate is attacking Zoo Metro City?" Megamind asked.

"Yes." Minion informed him. "And apparently they found some new allies."

"Is that so? Well, two can play at that game!" Megamind sneers. "Minion, round up Metro Man and Tighten! The time has come to form… the Mega Squad!"

"But how can the four of us defeat the Doom Syndicate?" Minion asked.

"Oh, it won't be just us, Minion." Megamind replied with a sly grin. "If we're to take down the Doom Syndicate and their new allies, we will need all the help we can get. And I know just who to call upon."


KMCP News at 8

"Do I have something on my teeth? Oh!" The reporter, Lance, asked the cameraman before noticing that the camera is running. He preps himself before giving the report. "I'm Lance Lafontaine with a special news report. The Doom Syndicate continues to menace Zoo Metro City. Since Metro Man retired, Megamind has taken over as the city's champion. The mayor has been assured that Megamind will rid the city of the Doom Syndicate. To that end, Megamind has joined forces with the ZPD and with their help formed his own superhero team: The Mega Squad. Let's hope for all our sakes, the Mega Squad can be mega heroes!"


Back in Megamind's lair, they were able to contact the ZPD via their video satellite. On the other end was the ZPD's own Judy Hopps. They explained to her what is going on in Metro City.

"No way! You're telling me that this Doom Syndicate gathered allies from Zootopia and recruited them to cause destruction to Zoo Metro City?!" Judy asked them. Both Megamind and Minion nod. "I see, but what do they want there?"

"Officer Hopps, what they want is why we called you!" Minion spoke up. "Though we have no clue on what they want or why, I can assure you that it does not look good. Please, we need your help!"

Judy thought it over for a moment before making her decision. "Alright, I'll round up whoever I could and we'll meet you outside."

"Thank you very much, Officer Hopps." Megamind thanked her.

"The honor is mine, Megamind. And please, call me Judy." The ZPD officer thanked him with a smile before hanging up.

"Uh, sir, I don't mean to doubt you or anything, but do you really think they can help deal with the Doom Syndicate?" Minion asked.

"As long as they don't arrest them for anything ludicrous." Megamind simply said with a bit of nervousness in his eyes.

After Metro Man and Tighten arrive on the scene, all that's left is to wait outside for Judy and the ZPD to arrive. "Okay, what is going on? Why did you call me here?" Tighten asked.

"All will be explained once our new friends get here, Tighten." Megamind simply replied while trying his best to hide a sneer.

"New friends?" Metro Man asked. "What are these new friends you're talking about?" The former hero of Metro City's answer came when a police cruiser shows up. Coming out of the cruiser was Judy and her fellow ZPD officers Nick Wilde, Chief Bogo, and Benjamin Clawhauser.

"Ah, good, you're here!" Megamind greeted the police animals. "Metro Man, Tighten, I'd like you to meet the Zootopia Police."

"It's an honor to meet you both." Judy greeted.

"So this is what you meant when you said we were called here. But why?" Chief Bogo asked Judy.

"Well, according to Megamind, the blue guy in leather there," Judy explained, motioning to Megamind. "He called us here to assist him in dealing with someone called the Doom Syndicate."

"Doom Syndicate?" Clawhauser gulped heavily, speaking with fear in his voice.

"I get it, Carrots, but what does this have to do with us?" Nick Wilde, Judy's partner in the force, asked her.

"Apparently, this Doom Syndicate had some allies and they're wreaking havoc here in Zoo Metro City." She explained.

"Those fiends!" Bogo scowled.

"Chief, we want to stop them as much as you, but their powers could tear the four of you to shreds!" Minion warned them.

"Speaking of powers, I may have something that could help you. Come inside and I'll show you." Megamind motioned them inside his lair, knowing whatever he has inside can help the ZPD in their mission to stop the Doom Syndicate.


(The shortcut was able to get us across the River Styx. We make our way to the Tower of Souls)

Death: Here it is. The Tower of Souls.

Marinette: Is Berri's soul really inside?

Conker: Only one way to find out.

(We enter the tower and notice tens of thousands of souls within sole chambers)

Me: There are a lot of souls here! How are we going to find Berri's?

Death: The way I see it, the souls here are organized by the year of death. So if we can figure out what year she died, we'll be able to find her soul.

Goku: Alright, let's get searching!

(We search the tower for where Berri's soul is located. Conker manages to find a hallway marked "2001")

Conker: This one! This is the year Berri was killed.

Me: Good eye Conker. Let's go and find Berri's soul. You readers may leave a review. Archer out!
