Actually, I had updated this chapter but it was unedited, so that's the edited one. Thanks to my beta, twilight642531 :D
Enjoy!
"Why didn't the watch work?" I shouted as I entered the lair, slamming the door behind me. Minion and I had been looking for Ice Frog for hours. But it was pointless, hopeless. No matter where I looked I could find no clue of him. I knew that sooner or later he would contact me, challenge me, so we turned back to the evil lair. We instantly started searching around, trying to find anything that would prove he had been there, watching us. He could have planted a bug, or hidden cameras. Apparently, he had done nothing. How the hell did he manage to take Roxanne?
I was right there, next to her, but still I wasn't able to protect her. How did I expect to protect the whole city, when I couldn't protect the one I loved?
Oh, Roxanne, I swear, if anything happens to you, I will kill myself.
"The watch should have worked. It had to work. I tried it thousands times!" I shouted to myself, covering my face with my gloved hands. I tried to blame the watch, but it was no luck. I knew that I was to blame. It was all my fault. Because I was weak. Way to go, hero!
My agony was rising as time ticked by. That villain wasn't like me. He didn't think this was a game, like I did with Metro Man. He wouldn't use her as bait, he would hurt her.
"Sir?"
"What?" I shouted, turning around to look at Minion. I was greeted by a wide-eyed fish, holding Roxanne's watch in one hand and pointing to it with the other.
"Where did you get that?" I said, refusing to believe that she forgot to wear it.
"It was on the nightstand. It's not waterproof. She must have got it off before having a bath and forgot to put it on afterwards."
"Ugh!" As I thought about Roxanne and that… that ice-cube, I tried to find something that could give me strength. Roxanne's words rang into my blue head. You can't give up. She was right. I didn't give up when I was in danger. I didn't give up even when I knew that I could be lost. I didn't give up when I didn't have a plan. I wouldn't give up now. The Megamind I knew would never have ran from a fight, even when he knew he had absolutely no chance of winning. It was your best quality.
I needed to be that guy right now. The city needed me. Roxanne needed me.
"Let's go Minion!" I shouted, grasping the keys of my flying motorbike.
"Where to, sir?"
"To Roxanne's rescue." I said, determination clear in my voice. "If that snowman thinks I will sit here, moping around, he should think better."
We were about to go out from the secret lair, when my calling device made the usual beeping sound.
'You have one message from a villain.'
"Megamind! Ice frog here."
"It's the snowman!" I shouted. "If he has done anything to Roxanne I swear…" I ran to the device, turning it on so that I could see him in a monitor. He could also see me and hear me.
"I just wanted to tell you that your girlfriend is safe. For now." I didn't like it when they threatened me. It made me angry, mad. And he didn't want to see what I could do if he made me any angrier. Seriously, I would have said something smart back to him, but my agony about Roxanne didn't let me. I was too worried to make humor.
"What do you want?"
"Meet me at the ice-skating centre and you'll learn." I nodded.
"How do I know she's okay?" I shouted. "It could be a trap."
The image in the monitor shook a bit and then Roxanne appeared on the screen. "Roxanne!" I shouted, my hands touching the screen as I could touch her through it. Seeing her face… it was like a wave of relief washed over me. "Sweetheart, are you okay?" I said, one of my fists pumping on the screen.
"I'm fine." She assured me. Her hands were tied with chains on a stone wall and she pulled on them. She would have bruises after that. I swear that he was going to pay for this... "For now, at least." She didn't seem scared, but she was always brave. She always wanted to show to others that she wasn't weak. If the ice-cube saw how she was really feeling, he would make it worse for her.
"And I'll make sure you'll be for the rest of your life."
"Enough talking." He said. "You'll have plenty of time to talk when you get her back. That is if you bring one of your most powerful weapons."
"What-what do you mean?"
"I want you to bring your stinky gun."
"My what?" I asked and I'm sure that my face was really perplexed.
"That stupid gun that makes you imagine the most horrible smell!"
"Well, if it's so stupid, why do you want it?"
"Just bring it, and your Roxie will be safe." With that the screen went black.
"He meant the instinkerator, didn't he?"I asked. Minion nodded. "How did he know about that?"
"Um, I think we used it to defeat Metro Man. Battle no. 19, after the 6th time of escaping jail."
"Oh, that's right." I nodded in acknowledgment.
"Are you going to give it to him?" Minion asked.
"No." I said as a smile appeared on my lips.
"I knew it!" Minion rolled in his bowl.
"Okay, we need a plan. And quickly." I said, pacing around like crazy.
"Um, what about the robo-sheep?"
"No, no, no… we need something strong, something that will drain his powers."
"Oh please, powers? His biggest power is ice!"
My head snapped up at that. I knew that there was an answer in these words, but, I couldn't find it. Ice, ice, ice… what destroys ice?
And then it hit me. The sun!
"That's it! You fantastic fish you!" I laughed. "That's it! We just need heat!"
"Heat?"
"Heat makes ice melt!" I explained.
Minion's face lightened up and we both smiled widely.
"I'll go prepare the fire-gun." Minion said, rolling in his bowl again. "What else do you need?"
"Okay, take notes. " I said as quickly as possible. "Theme music: Paranoid by Black Sabbath." Although it didn't exactly match the situation, it was perfect for an amazing presentation. "Decoration: Fireworks creating my face in the sky." I had thought about it the exact same day, when I broke the wall. Better save that for any villain. I had thought. "Smoke: Blue."
"As always, sir." Minion smiled. I had never seen him more excited. This time our battle had a real purpose. And although we were sure we would beat him up, the adrenaline was still there.
"Vehicle: The flying motorbike. Weapon: The fire gun. That's all."
"Yes, sir!"
"Brain bots!" I shouted when Minion was out of view. "Costume number two!" I ordered. Then I gave them the orders they needed for my big performance.
After wearing my usual costume with my high boots that stopped halfway my thigh and my highs gloves that stopped just above my elbows, I got on my motorbike, Minion behind me.
The fact that Roxanne could have been hurt by him tore me apart. It took me a while to clear my head and realize that, the longer I thought, the most possible it was that she could get hurt!
"How much time do we have Minion?"
"20 minutes, sir."
"Let's go, then!"
(Later)
The guitar of the song started playing, as blue smoke surrounded the ice-skating centre. I was hidden in it so he couldn't see me yet. "Did I destroy your fun?" My voice echoed in the place as fireworks lightened up the sky, creating my face.
I, carefully, stood up on the motorbike (Minion had got off it) and put on the auto-driver, which led me closer to Ice Frog.
"Megamind!" The ice-cube said. "I'm glad you kept your promise."
"Oh, we'll see about that." I said and with that I jumped off the motorbike, two brain bots catching me from my arms on my way, placing me safely on my feet, just some meters away from him.
Now that I was closer, I looked around, trying to spot Roxanne. "Where is she?" I said, lowering my chin, my eyebrows knitted. My look was dark. I didn't intend to be that mad, but, once again the thought that Roxanne could have been harmed… it drove me insane. The craziest scenarios crossed my mind. Even the fact that he had lost her!
He pointed a finger to a high mountain of the centre. Roxanne was on top of it, tied to a stalactite. Relief because she was there covered my body. But then… panic.
"Oh, no…" I whispered, fear replacing the anger and confidence I previously had.
"If you don't have the gun, a little push from my tongue can make her fall there." He pointed the same finger on the bottom of the mountain, where huge stalactites were.
"Bring her down. Now!"I shouted, taking quick steps closer to him. I wouldn't let him control me. This would end like I wanted, with Roxanne by my side. I could easily make him a small cube, or burn him to death.
His tongue pushed me back, making stumble. "Stay away." He said; his voice cracking. Why was he so afraid of close proximity?
"Alright, amphibian, let's get it over with."
I pulled my fire-gun out of the pocket of my pants, set it to 'heat' and pointed it to him.
"Is that the stinky gun?"
"No." I said. "It's something better." And with that I pushed the trigger. The heat surrounded him and his gloves started melting.
"No!" He shouted but his voice was powerless. He fell on his knees, taking deep breaths before fainting. Just right then, three policemen arrived, Minion following behind them.
I didn't have time to feel proud of myself or satisfied. Not until Roxanne was safe in my arms.
After I made sure he was in the hands of justice, I got on my motorbike and flew to Roxanne. She was tied onto the stalactite with ice, unbreakable ice.
"Roxanne!" I shouted and although I tried to restrain myself I pecked her lips. With the heat gun on my hands, I shoot on the ice, and it instantly melted. "Did he hurt you?"
"No." She sighed, and although she tried to be brave, I could see her relief. "I'm fine. How did you know heat was his weakness?"
"Do you remember who you're talking to?" I asked, pointing a finger to my big head.
When her hands were free, she wrapped them around my neck, her lips meeting mine.
"I'm glad you're okay…" I wrapped my arms around her, pressing her closer to me.
"I knew you would come."
"Well, that makes two of us." I smiled and then pressed my lips on hers.
So, that's short, but I like it :) I hope you like it too. Please do xD
Anyways, I have a game in my mobile phone with Megamind and there are some weapons there. And there was one called instinkerator. It makes people imagine the most horrible smell. So, I added it here :D
