Despicable Me – Soft Wind and Death Tales.
I am only going to say this once, I do not own Despicable me. It is owned by whoever created it!
I do not right sexual scenes, I don't swear a lot. (Just a little) And I make sure not to ruin characters or their personalities.
This fan fic was intended for fun only and non-profit, Please enjoy it :)
This is also just an intro chapter right now, so it is short.
Also be sure to review, I really need someone to tell me on what I can do a lot better. Anyway...ON TO THE WORLD OF DESPICABLE ME:D :D :D
Soft Wind and Death Tales, Chapter 1: Prologue.
Voices echoed throughout the bank of evil as a man was presenting his plan, to steal the moon.
A very broad shouldered European man sat on a small piece of furniture in the middle of the pristine and clean floor; it had the brightness of something compared to the sun as light reflected off of it.
"So all I need is money from dee bank, to build a rocket, then the moon..is ours" Gru concluded as he sat on what seemed to be the un-supportive piece of furniture.
Mr. Perkins leaned back on his chair and crossed his legs, holding an apple beside him. He cleared his throat…
"Well, very nice presentation. I'd like to see this, shrink ray." He inquired as his mouth hung open waiting for an answer.
Gru felt surprisingly over-confident, and with his choice of a single word, that became apparent. "Absolutely!" He clipped his 2 fingers together and waited for Perkins' response.
"Where is it?" He questioned.
Damn, I forgot I actually DIDN'T have it….
"Uhh, can I show you next week?" Gru added without the slightest idea of when he actually would have it.
"So…you don't have it, you come to the bank asking for money then expect us to pay for something you're not even sure you'll get." Perkins assumed.
Gru gulped as Perkins stood from his seat and stood erect behind his desk. Gru had to say something at least…
"Well, I theenk, dat weee have came to a stopping point in this particuloor presentation. I'll just take my things and go…"
"Gru, if you can't handle this moon heist, Vector will instead." Perkins concluded and showed Gru out of his office. Gru slowly walked down the small spiral construction with his plans and briefcase. The sight of Vector trying to get a piranha into a small tube that didn't even reload made Gru laugh inside at the boy's awkward-ness.
After a few seconds, Gru froze Vector's head then left the area before it even hit the floor.
Dr. Nefario worked on one of his serums as Gru vented. He sat on a stool and slouched over as Nefario worked.
"Well, my visit with Perkins didn't go too well…" Gru concluded.
"That's preposterous! It had to have gone well or else you'd be terminated and the league of chaos would never accept you as a super villain anymore." He emphasized his words as if he'd been giving him some sort of advice, but usually Nefario wouldn't be Gru's personal psychiatrist, which Gru wish he had.
"Yeah, I guess. How will we get dee shrink ray? I'm curious. What's your plan Nefario?" he asked.
Without a word, Nefario put down his Florence flask with blue explosive-liquid inside it and instead worked on a small holopanel that dropped down in front of him.
A large screen sat against a wall of wires in the lab, and a green grid filled the background screen as a model of the shrink ray was on display. Modules on the screen shifted then showed the exact location of where it was.
"A secret research facility somewhere off the coast of I think Asia." Nefario answered Gru's silence.
Before exiting the room, Gru turned around to face Nefario and said "Thank you for, ya know leestening earlier about the problems. Eet helped a lot" Gru proceeded to the elevator and ascended into the dark house; It was raining and cold...
Gur's doorbell rang as soon as he could sit on his crocka-couch.
"At this hour, that's odd..." Gru tapped his watch which read 8:45.
He walked to the door and looked through the peep hole. He could faintly see three little girls, standing alone out in the rain, with a small cart of cookies but no jackets.
"Hello? Anyone home?" the oldest called out...
Gru didn't say a word he just listened, heard rain, and someone crying. Curious, Gru looked through the hole again and noticed a very small umbrella being held above the youngest head. The rain soaked the girls' clothes until they became heavy and dripping with water.
"Come on guys, let's go..." The girls turned back and left the yard. Gru felt a sense of something but didn't exactly know what it was.
Frowning, he proceeded up his spiral staircase to his room...
In deep sleep, the villain dreamt. Usually his dreams would be of things he'd encountered earlier, Tonight was the girls. Yes the girls, which had never been what Gru had dreamt of.
In the years of his childhood his mother would tell him how he'd never get to talk to a girl because of his repulsiveness, his rants about going to the moon and how they were so annoying.
But these girls were not older girls; they were little ones in their very young years.
Gru's dream was very specific; His brain captured the image of 3 little girls and their appearance. Their voices, the way they walked, the way they would stand in the rain with a cart of cookies that would be sold to a stranger's house.
Especially the thunder, the lightning fast blue streaks in the night sky..
His dream started, an 8 year old named Edith sat on a park bench. It was raining and her clothes began to droop with excess water. She sat in disbelief and sorrow, her older 11 year old Sister Margo lying in front of her in the aqueous park sand. It was a scary thought for Edith; she was utterly freaked out and couldn't begin to even think about it.
But there it was right in front of the young girl, laying right there.
Edith took her hands away from her face, stood up and dropped to her knees in front of her sister. The thunder roared at them and continued to do so. "I love you, Margo" She sobbed even harder, "Agnes is safe, I'll take good care of her for you..." she said in sobs. Edith leaned over and planted a soft kiss on her forehead, her silvery blue eyes matching the color of her tears that fell into the sand. She regained her sanity, stood up and walked out of the park, Edith began to think (With Margo gone, who will watch us?) She walked out of the entrance to the park...
End of dream
Black smoke billowed from the back of Gru's jet as it pierced the day time sky. For Gru, stealing things would be a piece of cake…or most of the time if other villains wanted in on it like Vector.
The jet's engine screamed in response to the throttle then almost completely cooned when the jet hovered over the building. Tim was assigned to retrieve the shrink ray using the heat metal cutters and the extension arm. He cut a hole in the ceiling, grabbed the shrink ray and accidentally squished himself between the ceiling and small platform he was standing on. Finally, he brought it back into the jet and set it in a large transparent cylinder. *Laughs"We got it!" The jet curved through the air and the large thruster roared.
A computer's voice filled the cabin, "Ship approaching, 4 o' clock. Designate Vector."
"Alright little man, come get eet" He gave a mischievous grin and pushed the throttle more.
A large white ship pulled up next to him. An odd laugh rang through Gru's ears...
"Mwahahaaa, you're in my grasp Gru! Next time you'll think twice about freezing someones head!"
Vector turned his ship and the metal on both scraped, it had become clear that vector wanted the shrink ray as well but Gru wasn't ready to let that happen.
He grunted as a large thud hit the side of the jet, the minions screamed in terror and ran around the compartment.
The jet swayed to the left in a violent shake "Bad Idea" He said angrily. Gru slammed the jet's right wing into the glass of Vector's cockpit. Vector's ship swayed about and fell like a discarded toy or glove, Broken glass flying in the sky and rattling against Gru's jet.
"What ees that beeping sound?" Gru turned to see an explosive charge on his right wing..
He gasped "oh no..."
3..
2..
1..
The charge exploded and sent off half of the right wing but the large thruster in the back kept them going, but not for long. Gru had considered using the last remaining option but it would be suicide without a designated jump target. But Gru took deathly chances, He decided to do it.
"Minions, get ready to engage thousand mile booster!"
"YES SIR!"
Gru flipped a switch above him and the jet slowed while the thruster went into hover mode.
Please designate jump target
Gru typed in coordinates close to home and hung on to sides of the chair in a desperate attempt to keep himself braced. The minions did the same.
Hyper jump commencing in 3- LAUNCH!
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The jet took off at an extremely high rate of speed and was almost traveling at 8,200 miles an hour.
People from across the nation saw a spec travel right through the sky then vanish.
The jet creaked and the glass shield of the cockpit was cracking, then the target came into sight. The street of where Gru lived...
"Oh crap, we're coming in too hot" he slammed on the air brakes sending the three of them slightly forward and the jet to a speed of 400 miles an hour, Nothing blocked their path.
A large tanker pulled into the street where they were about to touch down, Gru panicked and tried to turn and evade it.
Margo Edith and Agnes trotted along the sidewalk and saw Gru's jet come into view. People that were occupying the streets screamed in utter terror as the ship was very close to the ground. The jet zoomed past and hit the tanker, splitting the gas tank into two halves and creating a fireball that loomed up to 60 feet high. Both pieces smashed into buildings on the sides of the street.
Gru's jet was now a flaming metal object hurtling towards a building under construction.
He frantically looked for an option but there was none. Gru and the minions quickly strapped themselves into the chairs and held onto the console. The jet was on the ground and friction was creating sparks jetting from the back. In a flash, the jet hit the steel beams, bending and breaking the building. After a few rolls and smash, the jet completely stopped and people from everywhere around the crash site surrounded them.
The trio climbed out of the jet's broken window and stumbled across the charred dirt.
"Whew, that was close..." but realizing his words Gru looked at everyone whom stood at least a few yards away. Some of them inspected the long break in the road; a long flaming line indicated and leads them to the path where Gru's jet had crashed. A barrage of smashed cars lies behind what seemed to be a massive impact.
The jet was now completely torn apart and the remainder of the engine was engulfed in flames. Black smoke rose from the crash and attracted so much attention. Luckily there weren't any police around. The jet lay in waist and sat there, flaming. The minions brought out a large blue-ish green cracked cylinder with the shrink ray inside.
Gru took out the massive weapon and used it on the jet to shrink it to toy size. The massive hole was now a pit of debris after the building fell, and beams scattered about the street.
Gru ran through the crowd and frantically sped back to his home. The three girls had watched the man curiously and almost oblivious to what just happened.
Margo smiled at her 2 sisters and walked up to Gru's door just after he had slammed it. Edith followed close behind pulling a cart.
"Helllooo, Cookies for sale." Margo called out. From behind the door she heard, "Go away I'm not home."
"uhh yeah you are, We saw you."
"NO! You didn't, THAT! Was an illoosion."
"Tss, no it wasn't!"
"Yes it was!"
Edith kicked the door and the three turned away from the villain's home and off to someone else's home instead.
The news was bombarded with videos on Gru's crash just a minute ago. A video was shown of the silver vehicle smashing through a tanker truck, then colliding with a half-built structure. Gru carried the hand-sized jet down to the lab with him.
Nefario was shocked, "It's all over the news!" he stated.
"Ya. I know.." Gru retorted, setting the jet's keys onto a table in front of him. He took off his coat and scarf as well.
"Well Gru, next time don't use the hyper drive to get home right away…"
Well, I'm re-doing ALL the chapters in this story so if anyone has some ideas for me to put on the side please tell me :3 and review!
