(A week has passed since the Easter/April Fools' party and I am deep in thought)

Me: Hmm… maybe Violet was right. Maybe I do need a vacation. But where should I go?

Lucy: I have a suggestion.

Me: Yah! I really wish you'd stop doing that.

Lucy: Sorry, but I heard of this resort island called Kawawii Island.

Me: Kawawii Island? You mean the one with four resorts instead of one?

Lucy: The very same.

Me: Man, I always wanted to go there. In fact, I'm about to tell everyone right this minute.

(I leave to tell the news)


Megamind: Crossover Edition

Chapter 2: The Death of Metro Man

Within the Metro City Castle miles northeast of the city, the members of the Regime are witnessing the Metro Man Museum opening within its walls. Damon Gant scowls at the sight of the festivities.

"Metro Man, how we hate him. And all of that loathing has been focused into this invincible instrument of destruction." Damon Gant said.

"Every defeat, every humiliation at the hero's hands will be returned a thousand-fold by Megamind's latest and unstoppable creation." Kan-Ra added.

"This is my dream come true. With this new invention of Megamind's, we can expand the Regime Empire across the town, and conquer the city! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!" Gant laughs evilly.

"Gant's meaning business this time." Asriel Dreemur comments.

"Uh-huh." Leonard nods in agreement.


Meanwhile, at the Metro Man Museum opening, the members of the Resistance are among the tens of thousands of people awaiting Metro Man's arrival.

"Aww yeah! Metro Man, here we come!" Undyne cheered.

"Lower your excitement, Undyne. He'll come." Patroklos said.

"Aww c'mon, Patty Cakes, it's Metro Man Day!" Undyne replies.

"Alright, but no getting hyped. Remember what we went through?" Patroklos asked.

"Oh right." Undyne realized her mistake upon their arrival.

"And don't call me Patty Cakes." Patroklos glared.

"Fine." Undyne sighs.

"And we might need to be careful. I just got word from Metro City Prison: Megamind has escaped."

"That fiend!" Carmelita scowled.

"Don't worry, he's not here." Sly reassured her. "And I hope the Regime doesn't come. I mean, with Megamind and the Regime together, that's a very nasty combination."

"Preparing for that, my Gator Tooth can be very persistent." Jack said, tapping his giant metal hand.

"Jack, there's no need for chainsaw makery." Carmelita glared.

"C'mon, Carmelita, since when there's not a need for the Gator Tooth?" Jack asks.

"OK, we'll have our weapons ready, just in case, and to make you stop whining, Cayman!" Judy said.

"Guess you're right, Hopps." Jack replies.

"Besides, everybody wins. But let's keep our eyes peeled. the villains and Megamind could be around any corner." Frank West said.

"You're right, Frank. You're always right." Sly grinned. And just as he finished his words, the festivities began as the man of the hour, or rather the day, smashed through a white wall.

"All right, put your hands in the air." Metro Man speaks, to which everyone does so, screaming in joy. Some dance music starts playing as Metro Man dances to it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your Metro Man!" The MC introduces the Metro City hero as he jettisons into the air.

"Who's the man?" Metro Man asks the crowd, to which the crowd roars one name.

"METRO MAN!"

"Yeah, Metro City!" Metro Man flies over the crowd, high-fiving several participants and performs for them by flawlessly juggling three babies and throwing them back to their mothers without so much as a single scratch on them. He catches the microphone the Mayor throws to him and gazes at the audience. "Hey, Metro City."

The people cheer for him louder than ever. "Hey. Hey." Even the police are cheering, firing shots in the air. "You know, you know, I just want to bring it down a bit. Boys, a little lower." The music begins to lower as they start playing a softer tune. "Thank you, fellas. Let's get real for a moment. That's right. That's right. That's right." He flies over to the reflecting fountain as a young woman in a white shirt kisses Metro Man's boot. "Although getting a whole museum is super-cool, is super-cool, you want to know what the greatest honor you've given me is?" The crowd starts to cheer. "Do you really want to know? Really?" The cheering grows louder. "I'll tell you. The greatest honor you've given me is letting me serve you, the helpless people of Metro City. And at the end of every day, well, I often ask myself… who would I be without you?"

"I love you, Metro Man!" A random citizen shouts.

"And I love you, random citizen." Metro Man said as he creates a water display for the crowd.


Meanwhile in Megamind's lair, the Invisible Car makes its way inside with Megamind, Minion and a bound Roxanne. Megamind was the first to exit the car.

"I tell you, Minion, there's no place like evil lair." Megamind commented, feeling right at home.

"I've kept it cold and damp, just for you, sir." Minion tells him as he changes into his supervillain attire, comprised of a black skintight leather suit with a blue bolt on the chest, black custom baby seal leather boots, black spiked gloves and a high-collared black cape with spokes on the shoulder pads.

"How do I look, Minion? Do I look bad?" Megamind asks.

"Disgustingly horrifying, sir." Minion tells him. Megamind takes that as a compliment.

"You always know what to say."

"Oh, the Brain-bots certainly missed you, sir." Minion stated.

"Did you miss your daddy?" Megamind cooed to the Brain-bots. "Who's a menacing little cyborg? You are. Yes, you are." One of the Brain-bots tried to bite his finger. "No biting. No, no, no, no, no, no." He grabs a wrench from one of the others. "You want the wrench?" The Brain-bots are anxious to play. "Go get the wrench!" Megamind throws it far, urging the Brain-bots to fetch it.

"Oh, look at that." Minion commented, seeing the bots play.

"Now, back to laughing." Megamind said as they both began to laugh and descend down an elevator leading to a secret area. Once they reach their floor still laughing, Roxanne wakes up and immediately started to struggle. "She's awake. Quick, to work." He quickly sat in a swiveling chair and stops with his back to the tied up Roxanne. He looks back to check if she's in place. He slicks up his eyebrows and signals a Brain-bot to hover to his lap. Minion pulls the bag off her head as Megamind slowly turns around in his chair, petting his Brain-bot. "Miss Ritchie, we meet again."

"Would it kill you to wash the bag?" Roxanne glared.

"You can scream all you wish, Miss Ritchie. I'm afraid no one can hear you." Megamind said, expecting her to scream, but gets no response. "Wh-Why isn't she screaming?"

"Miss Ritchie, if you don't mind?" Minion asks her.

"Like this…" Megamind begins before demonstrating a scream for help. "But that's, that's a poor lady scream." The Brain-bot suddenly bites his hand, causing him to scream a lot louder and in pain.

"He's a little better." Roxanne comments on his screaming as he attempts to pry the Brain-bot's jaws off his hand. "Is there some kind of nerdy supervillain website where you get Tesla coils and blinky dials?"

"Actually, most of it comes from an outlet store in…" Minion tells her before Megamind cuts him off.

"Don't answer that."

"Romania." Minion whispers to her.

"Don't! Stop! She's using her nosy reporter skills on your weak-willed mind to find out all our secrets." Megamind tells Minion, causing the latter to gasp in shock. "Such tricks won't work on me…"

"Please talk slower." Roxanne said.

"…temptress." Megamind finished his comment.

"What secrets? You're so predictable." Roxanne comments.

"Predictable? Predictable?" He slides back to the terminal. He quickly stands up, freeing his hand from the Brain-bot. "Oh, you call this predictable?" He pulls a lever and opens a pit of wild alligators.

"Your alligators, yes." Roxanne replies as the gators chomp their jaws around her. "Yeah, I was thinking about it on the way over.

"What's this? Boom! In your face." He pulls another lever. A mounted Gatling gun is aimed at her head.

"Cliché."

"No! Look, watch." He pulls the first lever as a grinder lowers, just stopping right above her head.

"Juvenile."

"Shock and awe!" Dual saw blades close in.

"Tacky."

"Oh, it's so scary!" A spiked-boot wheel is lowered.

"Seen it."

"What's this one do?" He spins a crank, triggering a flame thrower behind her.

"Garish."

Knowing that all of his destructive weapons were as she says, "predictable", Megamind sulks, giving up.

"OK, the spider's new." He hears Roxanne speak.

"Spider?" He notices a spider creep down right in front of her face. Minion simply shrugs to the idea.

"Yes. The… The spee-ider." Megamind plays along. "Even the smallest bite from Arachnis Deathicus will instantly paralyze…" While he rambles, she simply blows the spider onto Megamind's eye, making him freak out. Minion smacks him, trying to get the spider off his master. "Get it off! It bit me!" He screams in pain from the spider.

Roxanne sighs. "Give it up, Megamind. Your plans never work."

Megamind gets up, having the spider off his eye. "Let's stop wasting time and call your boyfriend in tights, shall we?" Once he lifts his hand, the Brain-bot bites it again.


Back at the museum, the ribbon cutting is about to begin. "It is with great pleasure that I present to Metro Man his new museum. If you please." The mayor announces. Metro Man cuts the ribbon with his laser vision, causing the gold tarp to fall, revealing an elegant statue of Metro Man holding the world. Bomb tries to see what's going on, but with so many people, he can't see anything.

"I can't see Metro Man anywhere! How will he know we're here?" Bomb asks.

Red thinks for a second until he spots some sunlight reflecting off of Judy's badge. "I've got an idea. Judy, hand me your badge." She gives him her badge before Red climbs onto Jack's shoulders. He angles the badge so that the sun's rays reach Metro Man. He then notices a glare from within the crowd. He flies over to the source and sees the Resistance. He smiles and laughs.

"Well, well, if it isn't my good ol' friends, the Resistance." Metro Man greets them as the crowd gives them a major ovation. He motions them to join him in front of the museum. "So what brings you guys all the way here to Metro City?"

"To be honest, we were just starting our vacation here in Metro City and what better way to start than paying you a visit?" Sly replies. Frank then takes a photo of Sly and Metro Man with his camera.

"And you couldn't have picked a better day for the grand opening of the Metro Man Museum." Frank West comments.

"Ha-ha, Frank, you and your camera never get old." Metro Man smiles.

"Well, hey, I'm just doing what I do best. I mean, I've covered wars, y'know." Frank grins.

"You always say that." Metro Man replies.

"Hey, Metro Man, after the ceremony, wanna get pizza?" Kim Wu offers.

"Best offer I've had all day!" Metro Man happily accepts.

Chuck Greene smirks. "Alrighty then." Nick and Carmelita turn away from the conversation and whisper to each other about Megamind.

"I can't believe Leo informed us about Megamind's escape." Nick whispered.

"You two got big mouths. He isn't attacking just yet." Carmelita whispers back.

"But we have to warn Metro Man."

"No, just let that mad genius come. If he comes, we might help Metro Man out."

"Nah, he's got this."

Within the crowd, a disguised individual scoots by, blocking a patron with his child. "Hey! My kid can't see." The individual turns around quickly, revealing him to be a Brain-bot, scaring him and making the child cry. Soon, a dark cloud appears over the vicinity and more brain-bots appear from the crowd, shedding their guises. The bots project a video of Megamind laughing evilly.

"Megamind!" Metro Man and the Resistance shout in unison.

The blue-skinned villain claps sarcastically. "Oh, bravo, Metro Man. And the Resistance, you guys are here as well. How thoughtful." The crowd boos at Megamind loudly. "Boo! Yes, I can play along too. Boo!"

"Should've known you'd try to crash the party." Metro Man assumed.

"Oh, I intend to do more than crash it. This is a day you, your Resistance friends, and Metrocity shall not soon forget." Megamind tells him.

"It's pronounced Metro City!" Metro Man corrects him.

"Yeah!" Sly shouts to Megamind.

"Oh. Potato-tomato, potato-tomato." Megamind teases.

"We all know how this ends: with you behind bars." Metro Man informs him.

"And your inventions trashed." Jack adds, pounding his left fist into his metal hand.

"Oh, I'm shaking in my custom baby seal leather boots." Megamind feigns fear, showing them his boots. "You will leave Metrocity, and you Resistance chumps, bidding you adieu, or this will be the last time you'll ever hear of Roxanne Ritchie. Huh?" He taps a button, revealing Roxanne tied up on the left screen.

"Roxanne! Don't panic, Roxie. I'm on my way." Metro Man tells her.

"Yeah, I'm not panicking." Roxanne reassures him.

"We know." The Resistance heroes all reply.

"In order to stop me, you need to find me first, Metro Man. And as for you, Resistance, run along so I can fight my nemesis. I have big plans for him." Megamind shoos the Resistance.

"Big plans for Metro Man? What plan?" Sly interrogates.

"If I tell you, it wouldn't be a surprise now would it, Cooper?" Megamind smirks.

"I guess…" Sly looks over to his allies.

"So you all know what they say, the anticipation of the plan is worse than the plan itself. Like it really matters." Megamind laughs evilly.

"We're at the abandoned observatory." Roxanne reveals their location.

"No, we're not! Don't listen to her. She's crazy." Megamind tries to reason with his enemy, but it was too late as Metro Man takes off towards the observatory. Once he left, a carjacker with a box full of mechanical parts was running within the crowd.

"Help! Somebody, stop him!" The manager of the store whose cars the parts were stolen from shouted. The carjacker runs right past Red.

"What the heck's the matter with you?! You let him go!" A policewoman yelled.

"Cut him off and call the rest of the cops!" Red requested.

"You could've taken that guy apart. Now he's going away with the mechanical parts." She said.

"Didn't you miss the part where that's not my problem?" Red asks.

"Fine, just fine, what's your name?" She asks for his name.

"Red."

"Alright, when I catch the carjacker, don't say I forgive you, Red!" She goes after the carjacker.

In the skies of Metro City, Metro Man searches for the observatory. He spots it in the distance and flies towards it. He is watched by Minion. "Metro Man approaches, sir." Roxanne and Megamind abruptly get into a laughing contest with Megamind laughing evilly as he shuts off the destructive weaponry.

Metro Man sees the observatory and flies inside, knocking away the telescope in the process. Roxanne braces for any impact, but it never came. Once the dome shuts, Metro Man came to the realization that the observatory is empty. "Hold on a second." Metro Man noticed a giant red X on the floor. Roxanne looks around and notices Metro Man's absence.

"Oh, good heavens!" Megamind spoke. "You didn't think you were in the real observatory, did you?" Megamind reveals that the observatory they're in was just a replica, to lure Metro Man into the real one. He laughs with pure evil in his eyes. "Ready the death ray, Minion.

"Death ray, readying." The orbital death ray begins to charge.

In the empty observatory, a Brain bot projects a video behind Metro Man. "Over here, old friend." Metro Man turns around and notices Megamind in the fake observatory. "In case you haven't noticed, you've fallen right into my trap."

"You can't trap justice. It's an idea, a belief." Metro Man argued.

"Even the most heartfelt belief can be corroded over time." Megamind countered.

"Justice is a non-corrosive metal." The counters flew back and forth between them.

"But metals can be melted by the heat of re-vange."

"It's "revenge," and it's best served cold."

"But it can be easily reheated in the microwave of evil."

"Well, I think your warranty is about to expire."

"Maybe I got an extended warranty."

"Warranties are invalid if you don't use the product for its intended purpose." The flinging of arguments was eventually stopped by Roxanne.

"Oh, girls, girls, you're both pretty." Roxanne interrupted. "Can I go home now?"

"Of course. That is, if Metro Man can withstand the full, concentrated power of the sun! Fire!" He signals for the ray to fire but nothing happens. Impatient, he walks over to Minion. "Minion. Fire?"

"It's still warming up, sir." Minion reported.

"Come again?" Megamind asks.

"Warming up, sir."

"Warming up? The sun is warming up?"

"One second more and… just tippy-tappy tippy-tap-tap, tip-top more… and we are ready in just…" The masses wait in total boredom.

"Honestly!" Megamind groans.

"On my way, Roxie!" Metro Man attempts to fly away, but suddenly he gets punched in the face and Metro Man saw who it was.

"TK? It's you?" Soon every member of the Regime appears from the top, one by one.

"Bellwether? Nikolai? Asriel? Le Paradox? Leonard? Algol? Damon Gant? Kan-Ra? Cesare Borgia? And Zeus too?" They suddenly start beating Metro Man up. He was able to fight back, but numbers game overtook him. He blocks one of Zeus' attacks. "Whoa! What are you? How are you doing-?" He is suddenly hit by Nikolai. "Leo, I need to know what Megamind's cooking up!"

"We're trying, Metro Man, but these readings are all messed up! They don't make any sense!" Leo reported attempting to gain any results of the scan, but with no such luck. Metro Man is it into a wall.

"Dag! Crab nuggets!" He groaned.

"What did he just say?" Megamind asks.

"Crab nuggets?" Minion was confused. The villains continue to hit Metro Man in chronological order.

"Running out of time here, Leo!" He was knocked down and the villains disappear. "Good lord, I'm trapped!"

"What kind of trickery is this?" Megamind asks.

"You mad genius. Your dark gift has finally paid off!"

"It…it has?"

"This dome is obviously lined with copper.

"Yeah. So?"

Minion tries to get his attention. "Sir? Uh…"

"Copper drains my powers." Metro Man groans.

"Your weakness is copper? You're kidding, right?" Megamind asks about his weakness. Suddenly, the solar powered laser is activated and fires at the observatory Metro Man is trapped in and the observatory explodes.

"I don't think even he could survive that." Minion comments.

"Well, let's not get our hopes up just yet." Megamind replies. Minion then notices something flying towards them.

"Look!"

"Metro Man." Roxanne sighs in relief.

"Metro Man…" Megamind is calm at first but he and Minion begin to panic when they realize what they just said. "Metro Man! AH!" Megamind is suddenly tackled to the ground. He pulls up the cape and sees a skeleton in Metro Man's garb. "Oh, God! Oh, my God, oh!" Roxanne gasps in horror.

"Ewwww." Minion groans in disgust.

"METRO MAN!" All the Resistance members minus Red screamed in shock and fear.

"Dang. Nobody's getting pizza." Bomb spoke.

"That's it then." Judy whispered, dropping to her knees.

"No more Metro Man." Papyrus whispered.

"You did it, sir." Minion told Megamind.

"I did it?"

Everyone was speechless at how Megamind succeeded at the one thing he would never do. "He did it." The Mayor whispered.

Even in the prison, the Warden and the officers were frozen in shock.

"I did it."

"He did it."

"I did it!"

"He did it…" Sly whispered. Carmelita tries to comfort him by placing a hand on his shoulder, but Sly removes her hand while he's not looking.

"He's come so far." Carmelita tells him.

"You did it, sir."

"I did it!"

"You did it!"

"I did it! Metrocity is mine!" Megamind cheered for his sudden victory.

Red simply watched the situation and closed his eyes emotionlessly. With Metro Man gone, Megamind and the Regime are now free to take over Metro City.


(Once I give them the news, everyone is in high spirits)

Marinette: I can't believe this is happening! A vacation in Kawawii Island!

Ness: I can't wait to see Tonga Blanca up close!

Dash: I always wondered how the Track and Soul Skate Park is like. Now I'm about to find out!

Me: Alright, guys! Let's get serious for a second. I thought about what Violet said and well, she was right. Maybe it's time we deserve a vacation. I thought about where to go and thanks to an unexpected visit from Lucy Loud, Kawawii Island came to mind.

Ryder: You really think we deserve a vacation?

Me: We don't just deserve it, Ryder. We earned it. Now, I'm giving all of you three days to pack up. We leave on Wednesday. Meeting adjourned.

(Everyone leaves to prepare for the vacation)

Me: Guess I should get ready too. You readers are welcome to leave a review. Archer out!
