The smell of vanilla softly drifted through the air as Roxanne slowly came to. As her eyes fluttered open she was greeted by a harsh bright light. Quickly snapping her eyes closed, she could hear soft music playing, a familiar tune, one that she couldn't quite place. As she finally fully awakened she realized she was strapped to a cold metal slab. She once again opened her eye's, this time more carefully to discover that she was in a large dark room with the only light source coming from a flood light hanging above her.
"Hello, is anyone there?" She called into the darkness. There was no answer, and a thrill of fear went down her spine. Taking several deep breaths she tried to focus on how she was going to get out of this mess.
"Ah my dear Roxanne Ritchi you are awake at last!" Boomed a sinister voice from somewhere in the darkness. This caused Roxanne's head to begin to throb with pain, but now at least she knew where she was.
"Megamind, I should have known!" Roxanne cried out angrily. "Metro Man will be here to save me soon!" She shouted into the darkness.
"Muhahaha, that's the plan Miss Ritchi! Once Metro Man rushes to the rescue he will find himself faced with his own doom!" He cackled evilly.
"You will never defeat Metro Man!" Roxanne yelled, just then there was a loud crash as the man himself came crashing in.
"It is I, Metro Man! Here to save you Roxanne, and put an end to the dastardly evil that is Megamind!" The heroic man in tights said. This declaration was met with an evil laugh.
"Well speak of the hero." Megamind said.
"I'm here to put a stop to you!" Metro Man shouted striking a heroic pose.
"That's what you think Metro Man, but I have discovered your weakness! Vanilla!" Megamind laughed maniacally.
"No, not vanilla!" Metro Man shouted in despair.
"Wait, wait, and wait! Vanilla, really? That's the best the authors could come up with?" A short balding man with gray hair said as he walked out of the shadows flipping through the script. "Seriously, we have a have an amazing, real, super hero! A fantastic, real, super villain and a professional damsel in distress! The best the writers could come up with is vanilla?" He shouted turning red in outrage.
"It's not that bad Harry, really its not, they wanted to go with copper. Metro had to talk them out of it." A blue man with a large head and an equally large scar that ran from the top of his head over his left eye down to his jaw said as he walked into frame holding a microphone.
"Besides, none of us have been 'real' anything's since we signed with the studio." Roxanne added adjusting her fake restraints.
"It doesn't matter! You three were once the most beloved and feared trio in the world, you still are!" He said trying to calm down. "And copper would have been better!" Harry said going red again. Then sighed in defeat. "Change normal vanilla to something like 'a vanilla that comes from his home planet' and will be fine. Now places, from when Roxi is waking up." He said walking back into the darkness.
"You're the boss!" The trio said together and got back into their positions.
