"Metrocity!" Megamind cried, pulling up beside his daughter. "Get on!" Metrocity did as she was told, holding her father tight so she didn't fall off as they

sped onwards. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"Why would he go after Blueberry and Oobermind?" Metrocity yelled above the scream of the wind. "They didn't do anything! Why didn't he take me, or

Mommy, or even Master-Mind?"

"Because he's evil," Megamind shouted back. "Evil people always try and take out a threat or enemy by preying on their weaker links! You and Master-

Mind are older and stronger than Oobermind and Blueberry, and Roxanne is much stronger than she looks!"

"But you were evil once, and you never hurt anyone, or kidnapped anyone but Mommy!" Metrocity couldn't understand how anyone could want to hurt her

younger siblings. They could barely even talk right!

"I was never evil like Tighten was evil, Metrocity! Now when we pull up beside the machine, I want you to find a way inside without triggering any safety

systems, and get the twins out of there!" Metrocity nodded, and though Megamind couldn't see it, he knew she had heard him.

The bike halted as they reached the behemoth of a contraption, and Metrocity leaped off the motorbike and onto the belt-looking center of the Cannonball.

She watched as her Father flew towards the window at the front and smashed into it, sending broken bits of glass raining all around. Metrocity immediately

started inching her way along the belt, clutching at the wall for support. It wasn't long before she found a weak spot in the metal and was able to attach a

bomb.

Sliding to the left, Metrocity counted down from three as the bomb tick, tick, ticked down and exploded. Shrapnel flew in all directions, and Metrocity put

up her hands to keep it out of her face. She lost her balance as a strong wind picked up, and screamed as she fell, flailing.

Suddenly, she was being lifted up, and her eyes blinked open. Metrocity sighed in relief and rubbed her hand over the brainbot's glass skull, giggling a little

as small, blue electric pulses followed her fingers. "Thank you," she whispered as the brainbot set her down, and motioned for it to follow her.

As she crawled through a narrow air duct, Metrocity could hear faint sounds drifting from two directions. One was obviously sounds of fighting, and the

other sounded more like play. The second group of sounds was the one Metrocity followed, and before two long, the air duct ended. Metrocity reached into

her belt and withdrew a Swiss army knife. But it wasn't an ordinary Swiss army knife; Metrocity had gone through herself and replaced every knife with a

different type of laser, each with a different size and strength. Now she chose the second strongest and flipped it out.

The laser was aimed at the vent, and Metrocity held down a button on the side, cutting a circle just wide enough for her to get through. She pushed it out

and looked around the room. Blueberry and Oobermind sat in the center, playing with toys and climbing over each other. They seemed fine. Two robots were

in the room, one on each side, in the middle of the walls. This would be quick.

Metrocity selected a low-strength laser and blasted a tiny hole in the wall. Both the robots turned to look, and when they did, Metrocity fired with her

highest-powered lasers, right in the center of their processing units.

"You grab Oobermind, I'll get Blueberry," Metrocity told the brainbot, and dashed into the room, scooping up her little sister and running on through the

door to the next room.

"Hi Merocity!" Blueberry squealed.

"Were'd you come from?" Oobermind asked.

"Shh!" she shushed them, and they both shut their mouths. They'd been taught to listen to their older sister to the very letter when they were in a

strange place, and the Ritchis had very obedient children.

Oobermind and Blueberry were almost complete opposites in looks. Blueberry had very light, almost cyan skin, dark blue eyes, and light brown hair, like

their mother, and her head was small and oval-ish. Oobermind had very, very dark blue skin, light green eyes, and no hair at all. His head was large and

round, and Oobermind was a bit bigger than his twin height wise. Metrocity loved them both-she adored her little brothers and sister every bit as much as

she loved her parents and Minion.

The next room was a dead end, simply an extra, so Metrocity was forced to turn around with the brainbot in tow and enter the set of doors in the

opposite direction. There was nothing in this room but machinery, and it looked to be the engine room. To be safe, Metrocity slapped an explosive on one of

the computers as she ran past, the timer set to fifteen minutes. The next room that opened up was the room they were looking for. Megamind was standing

in the corner, holding his de-gun pointed just to the left of them. Metrocity followed the course of the gun, expecting to see Hal crouched in the corner, and

was surprised to see...A teenager?

A teenage boy was standing near the door, an equally terrifying-looking gun clutched in his own hands, aimed at Megamind. They had come in at a

deadlock. But it wasn't any longer.

The boy smirked as he turned the gun so it was aimed at Metrocity, Blueberry, the brainbot and Oobermind. Metrocity cringed inwardly. She had just given

the villain the upper hand. Well done, stupid.

"Well look at this! Your other daughter has worked her way right in! It looks like Metro City is mine after all!"

"Metrocity will never be yours!" Megamind yelled, his laser still aimed at the boy.

"Oh, I beg to differ. And even if it isn't, the citizens of Metro City shall learn to live in fear of my name!"

"What is you name?" asked Blueberry.

"I am Mechanico, the greatest super villain of all time!"

"But you aren't even a super villain," Metrocity pointed out.

"And why is that?" Mechanico growled.

"You have a stupid name, you stole my Daddy's idea for a death-machine, and you don't even have a costume! AND you forgot the most important part of

being a super villain as compared to being a regular villain."

"And what might that be?" Metrocity smiled and looked to the window. Mechanico followed her eyes, and froze. Brainbots were lined up outside the

window in rows, forming a 3-D picture of Megamind and Metrocity. Mechanico looked back down at Metrocity, the same grin still on her face, but now he

found that there was a second de-gun aimed between his ribs, set to destroy. "You little-"

"Presentation!" she whispered, and from the opposite direction came a blast. Before he could blink, Mechanico was nothing more than a blue cube on the

ground. Blueberry and Oobermind giggled and clapped their hands from where they were, Blueberry under Metrocity's arm and Oobermind sitting on the top

of the brainbot. Metrocity laughed as well, and looked over to her father, expecting him to be laughing and shouting too.

Her face fell. Her father wasn't standing anymore; he was down on the ground, curled over his leg in pain. He'd been hit.

He was down.

Author Comments: CHAPTER FOUR! DUN DUN DUN DUHHH! No, it's not Hal. Who is he then? You'll find out in the next few chapters! How did he

record Hal's voice? Not even I know! What's up with Megamind? We'll find out tomorrow 'cause I don't have the time to write another chapter

today! When will I stop asking questions and answering them vaguely? I've no idea! So...Yes. Megamind is down. How? See the above answer.

How will this effect the plot? Majorly.

Note (I don't think it needs to be said, but maybe it does): All incorrect grammar used by Blueberry and Oobermind in this chapter is purposeful.

They're pretty sharp for two-year-olds, but, like Metrocity mentioned, they still haven't fully grasped the English language. ;P

Also, in an earlier chapter I mentioned that Metrocity was tall for her age at four foot two-I have only extremely vague memories of my years as a

seven-year-old or, for that matter, my little brother's years as a seven-year-old, so if that's actually short for a kid her age, please feel free to correct

that mistake!
