Hello! Sorry I took longer than I thought I would to update. But, Here is chapter 5. :) Read, enjoy, and review! :)
"Minion" Megamind's voice said.
Minion was startled to hear any voice, he had been alone for so long. "Sir?" he asked.
"Minion, Code." Suddenly the alarm system went off.
"Self-destruct sequence activated." Said an automated voice.
"Sir! Are you still there? What's happening?" Minion asked slightly frantic. He swam to the surface. Metal doors slid open at the edge and Minion saw someone with a giant blue head. "Sir!" he exclaimed and swam over. He stopped short. "Who are You?!" he asked as he realized it wasn't his best friend, but a young sarylian woman.
"No time to explain!" She said, as she scooped Minion out of the water. "We have to get out of here now." She started running down the hall.
Minion wanted to protest being handled by a stranger, but seeing as she was saving his life he kept his mouth shut. Instead, he looked at the girl carrying him. She looked to be in her early twenties, possibly even late teens, and she was wearing what appeared to be the type of clothing human teens referred to as a romper. She didn't have a sarylian style collar, but somehow that didn't seem weird.
In less than a minute they were on her ship getting ready to take off. Minion was surprised that she already had a fish bowl on her ship that she threw him in. after another minute the ship took off. Only just in time it seemed, as the satellite blew up just behind them.
Megamind flew back down to earth in a daze. "Did that really just happen? Is Minion… gone?"
He landed the ship and Roxanne was there waiting for him.
"I saw the explosion! Are you alright? Is Minion with you?" Roxanne asked. Megamind just looked at her sadly with tears brimming in his eyes. "Oh no." She said. Megamind tried to move past her but she stopped him with a hug. The tears started flowing freely for both of them.
Megamind didn't know how long they stood like that, but eventually he had no tears left. "I have to find them."
"Hmm?" Roxanne looked at him questioningly. She was still crying.
"The people who did this. I have to find them." Megamind said, a hard look in his eyes.
"Oh No you don't. Revenge isn't worth it Megamind."
"Revange? I never said this was about revenge! I have to stop this from happening to someone else! That's what I do, I'm the hero. And even if I did want Revange, would I be wrong to feel that way?!"
Megamind stormed off. Roxanne wasn't convinced that he didn't want revenge. If anything, she was more convinced that he did. She sighed. "What am I going to do?"
The sarylian girl seemed to relax after a few minutes. "The name's Riley. And I suppose you are Minion?" She said.
"Umm yes, I guess." Even though everyone on earth had always called him Minion, for some reason he felt weird about this girl calling him that. Maybe because she was sarylian. "So where is your minion?" he asked, realizing that was what bothered him.
"… She… Well, there was an accident a few years ago, and she didn't make it." Riley replied.
"Oh. I'm sorry." Minion said. He felt bad. However, he didn't trust this girl. "I'm wondering, how did you know I was there in that space station, and how did you know it was going to blow up? No offense, but you are a complete stranger, and the circumstances are strange." Minion said.
She laughed, "No problem, I get it. I was just taking my ship for a spin when my lifeform scanner bleeped. I was curious of course, so I followed the signal to the satellite. I didn't know it was going to blow up till the alarm started blaring. I quickly found you and got out of there." Minion was about to ask another question but she stopped him. "Ah, hold that thought, it's my turn. Why where you there all by yourself?"
"I… Well, I don't actually know. I believe I was kidnapped and taken there, but I don't know what for." Minion said. Minion decided against saying anything about the kidnapper trying to convince him it had bee Megamind. "So, if you didn't even know you were going to find a fish today, why did you have a fish bowl on your ship?" He asked trying to sound curious, rather than suspicious.
Riley smiled sadly. "I built this ship the day before the... accident. The bowl was originally installed for Minion, but like I said… Anyway, I keep it here and filled with water in her honor. Lucky thing I had it today, huh?"
Minion felt bad, again. He decided to avoid the topic of her minion, if possible.
"So, that voice right before the alarm went off….?" Riley started, and waited for Minion to finish.
"That was Megamind. He must have found out where I was, unless…" Minion wondered if it had really been Megamind, or the fake Megamind again. He thought it was real.
Riley looked at him curiously, but didn't press him to speak his mind. Instead, she said, "So you are Megamind's minion. I've been interested in him ever since I came to earth! I even hooked up my TV to get Metro City news!"
"Wait, you live on earth?!" minion asked. He had subconsciously been wondering about that, since they were in earth's atmosphere. Now he noticed that they were getting close to the surface.
"Yeah, for three years now." Riley could see Minion's dumbfounded expression out of the corner of her eye. "I'll explain in a minute, but right now I gotta start the landing sequence."
"But we're over the middle of the ocean." Minion said skeptically. Riley just smiled and pressed a button on a little remote that resembled a garage door opener. As Minion watched a glorious structure emerged from the water. "You live there?!"
"Yep!" She said cheerfully as she pressed another button on the dash. Suddenly her expression changed to one of panic. "The reverse thrusters aren't working properly, they're only operating at half power!" Riley exclaimed. "get ready."
"Ready for whaaaAAAAAT!" Minions question turned into a yell as Riley hit a red button that caused her chair and his fish bowl to eject from the ship. They were thrown out over the ocean. as they started to fall parachutes popped out from the chair and the bowl. They saw the ship crash into the landing pad.
They landed in in the water and swam over to the edge. Riley pulled herself out of the water. "I'm going check the damage." She said and walked away. A few minutes later she came back. "well, I don't have great news. The ship will be ok, but it looks like we're going to be stuck here for about a week while I fix it. The other bad news is that the ship landed on the satellite dish instead of the landing pad, so we won't be able to contact anyone, or get any news." Minion looked sad at that. "I know. I'm sorry." Riley said. "but hey, on the bright side we'll get to spend more time together since you're not leaving right away… at least, that's a bright side for me.
Minion smiled. "me too." He said. He thought Riley was a little strange, but he also thought she was nice, and he was interested in learning more about her.
After a moment Riley spoke up again. "So, I owe you that explanation."
