Margo and Edith ran into the hallway, pressing the remote to reveal the three shelves of weapons. As Agnes ran over as well, they quickly began picking weapons off of their respective shelves. They ran out to see Dru and the minions, before seeing Gru's ship. Margo grinned, before confidently saying "time to start some DIY work, you guys!"

"What is this for, girls?" Dru asked, as Edith said "Dr Nefario was right. Somebody's gotta keep up the family tradition."

"We're being villains!" Agnes said excitedly. The minions looked at each other, and then at Dru, before they all began cheering excitedly as Mel said "Whaaat? tis tokas linact woeod for? Ghi ka da hago tus wat! Mova! Mova! Mova!"

As the minions began getting to work, Dru said "well, the first thing we need to do is get you girls some vehicles."

I know what you are thinkin'
I know what you will say

The minions hammered and chiselled the chunks of metal together, Mel supervising with a list as he said to Agnes "Labada respin pin, Missa Agnes, pelo ghi corro kapee de ta wheels pak pik uke."

Well I'm still the tiger
And the jungle's still my home

Outside, Gru took Kyle away from peeing on the petunias, not noticing Agnes quickly grab her bike and pull it inside with Bob's help.

What did you do?

Kevin and Stuart began replicating the wheels from Agnes' bike, placing dozens of them on the yellow-and-blue metal vehicle. Agnes said "great! Now we just gotta add the unicorn ornaments!"

You are the prettiest girls

Edith quickly grabbed a set of pencils and paints from their room, running down the hallway and nearly bumping into Lucy, who said "whoa! Careful, Edith."

"Sorry, Lucy." Edith said as she struggled to keep the paints off the ground. Lucy said "what are you doing with all that stuff?"

"Uh, nothing. Okay, bye!" Edith said quickly as she darted downstairs. In the lab, Edith brushed sweat off her face as she and the minions slapped blobs of black and pink paint onto the vehicle they were building for her. Margo sat at a desk, still drawing designs for the vehicle she wanted to build. She looked up to see Gru's ship again, before thinking for a moment as she grabbed a camera and ran upstairs.

What are you doing to me?

She pointed the camera out the living room window, taking several pictures of Gru's car, before turning around to face Gru. Gru said "oh, hey Margo, what are you up to?"

"Uh... photography class?" Margo said, before running past Gru and heading back into the lab. Down there, she finished drawing a sketch based on the car and ship's designs. When she passed it to the minions, she looked up at the portrait of Gru on the wall, standing tall and proud. She grinned nervously, thinking about the reputation she was carrying on.

Oh God, I think I've changed...

The girls went to where their suits were stored, getting them out to change into them. After she had put it on, Margo noticed a large, triangular pair of green glasses in the pocket, placing them over her regular glasses to complete the look. Edith pressed a button on her suit's arm, deploying a black chainmail around the torso as she said "AWESOME! I look like a warrior now!" as Agnes placed the one-horned mask over her own face, saying "yeah, and I'm a unicorn!"

What did you do?

The minions shouted "TA-DA!" in tandem as they revealed the three vehicles, which were coloured in the schemes of their soon to be drivers. The girls grinned confidently as they stood proud on the platform above the minions.

You are the prettiest girls

"Ha ha ha! YES!" Dru said excitedly as he ran over, saying to them "this is the moment I've been waiting for! You're finally ready to take on the family business!"

As Edith and Agnes laughed with Dru, Margo put her hand to her chin and thought to herself silently. Agnes saw this, saying "Margo, what's wrong?"

"I'm thinking about we need to do." Margo answered, getting Edith and Dru's attention. "If we're gonna get ourselves noticed in the villain community, we're gonna need to pull off a really big heist. Like Vector did with the pyramid."

"Right, yes." Dru said as they all began brainstorming. Agnes said "ooh! Ooh! Why don't we steal the moon again?"

"No, it has to be something original." Margo said, before they heard Lucy's voice. "Girls! Dru! Dinner!"

"Coming!" they said in-sync. They began to leave, before Margo grabbed Edith and Agnes, frantically saying "the suits! The suits! We gotta take off the suits!"


Bank Of Evil - Formerly Lehman Brothers

"Name, please." the secretary said, not looking away from her computer. "Paulina Painful, to see Mr Perkins." Paulina answered as she struggled to hold all of the blueprints in her arms. "Ah yes. He's expecting you."

Perkins sat silently, holding an apple in his hand as Paulina explained her plan. "So, all you need to do is give me the money to build this thing, and your jaw'll drop when you see the profits I make you. Hey... ha ha... hey, you'll probably get a heart attack too, huh? Ha ha ha."

Perkins' facial expression did not move an inch from the scowl he had started the meeting with, as Paulina's laughter slowly shrunk from hearty and enthusiastic to quiet and intimidated, her eyes bouncing up and down as she looked at the drinking bird on the desk. "Um... I uh... what'd you think?"

He sighed, saying "well, I must admit. It's rather impressive. What about this stone? The lab-avenged-something?"

"Ah yes. The lapis albus refulgens. AKA my lifelong obsession that's cost me a childhood friendship and my reputation at the AVL." Paulina answered as she lay back in the chair. Perkins said "Does it work?"

"Ye... uh... not... exactly. Not yet. I still need the other three pieces to complete it."

What was starting to become a grin before shifted into a lower scowl than when he started, Perkins saying "your weapon is not functional? Yet you still come here to ask the bank for money?!"

Paulina sat tightly in her chair, nervously saying "Mr P, something tells me you're taking a little a little wee incy-bitty too seriously."

"I have no time for investing large sums of capital into 'sinister plots' that won't make a profit." Perkins said, before looking at the apple in his hand. "For a visual aid, this apple here is what you will be if we don't get our money back from this."

Paulina said "well it doesn't look so bad. It looks freshly-picked. It's rosy. It's plump but not fat. I'm a little curvy myse-ooooohhhhh..." as Perkins crushed the apple in his fingers, the juices staining the desk.

After a brief moment of shock, Paulina shrugged, before monotonously saying "well, I was wondering why you were just... y'know... holding it, instead of eating it. At first, I thought you were just trying to look like more of an assh..."

"You know, I was sure I recognised you from somewhere. Perhaps you attended this city's high school in the 90s."

"Uh... yeah, I did. That's where I came up with this idea."

"And you knew my son, Vector. Well, he was called Victor then." Perkins said. Paulina, sensing an opportunity, said "oh yeah, Vic. Oh wow, we were best friends. We got on like a house on..."

"You bullied him."

"Ooooh... did I? Hm, we must not be thinking of the same Victor and/or Vector then." Paulina said. "But, y'know, people... do say that bullying is a form of evil too. So, surely I'm trustworthy with this plot."

"You won't be seeing a single coin until your weapon is complete." Perkins said monotonously. Paulina dropped her smile, sighing as she said "well then... Miss Wilde's old ball and chain, you remember him, don't you? Felonious Gru. He managed to build a rocket to fly up to the moon without your money. I could easily do the same thing."

"Then you might as well." Perkins said as Paulina looked over the balcony, facing away from him. "I see no possible logic in a villainous scheme based around a child's sandcastle."

Her eyes widened, a red glare briefly overtaking them as she groaned to herself, saying "y'see, Perkins. You don't know this, but uh... you've just crossed a line you really don't wanna cross."

"Oh please. I'm the president of the Bank Of Evil. What have you to threaten me wi..."

"YAAGGGHHH!" Paulina roared as she swivelled around, firing a small ray gun at Perkins, a blue flash of energy engulfing the banker as he screamed. When the dust cleared, Paulina looked at the seat, seeing a small, peanut-shaped seed. She picked it up, saying to it "I wouldn't worry about this. All I gotta do is put you in some water and you'll be back to normal."

She placed the seed in her pocket, before looking at the drinking bird on the desk. She turned to the exit, before quickly turning back and placing it in her purse, saying "just saying... I'm taking this too." as she left.
