Summary: I knelt on the cold pavement of the street, my face in my hands, and I cried. I cried for all the lost lives. I cried for all the damage to our beautiful city. I cried for all the broken families. I cried for my kidnappee. I cried for all the sorrow everyone went through and I cried because I know that I am the one who did it. All because an experiment went missing, I am now one of the only beings left alive and untouched by the virus.
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 They argued for five minutes straight whether to shoot them from the window, or go outside. Minion waved his robotic arms exasperatingly “But Sir I-” Megamind rounded on him “no buts, Minion, we are going to shoot from the window”. Minion groaned “but if we shoot from the widow, then we still have to go outside to get the body” before Megamind could argue he continued “so, either way we still have to go outside”.
Megamind knew he had a point, if they shot from the window; the risk of getting attacked is pretty much the same as if they went outside. It would make sense if they just went outside, after all this is no time to be lazy, lazy people get eaten…. he watched as a fat, red headed zombie walked by outside his window…Exhibit A
He mentally shuddered and nodded at Minion “Alright, let’s go”. They walked through the entrance and into the night; it’s a good thing his eyesight evolved to see well in the dark. He noticed without surprise that the outside of his lair didn’t look much different than it normally did, well it was already abandoned so really what else could have happened.
The only difference was the distinct smell of death; it made him gag until he couldn’t anymore. He rounded the corner with confusion; he expected to come face to face with a zombie as soon as he came outside. Where the hell are they? He turned his confused gaze to Minion, who shrugged unhelpfully at him. He was actually getting rather annoyed, if there aren’t any zombies out here anymore, they obviously didn’t need a disguise anyway.
He growled with annoyance as he sat on a nearby propane tank. He felt something hard poke him in his side, he looked down to find Minions mechanical hand probing him. He was about to yell at him when he noticed that the fish was dead still, staring wide-eyed at something to his right. Megamind peeked around Minion to see what he was staring at. His mouth dropped, about twenty feet away from them stood a snarling black dog, a BIG snarling black dog.
Megamind immediately leapt off the propane tank, quickly scrambling up onto the roof using a pole that was hanging from it. He looked over the side to find Minion still unmoving, and the dog was moving closer.
His eyes widened as it came into the moonlight to reveal it too was a zombie, Megamind threw his hands up in the air, Oh come ON! It wasn’t enough that most of the cities residents were zombies, now the dogs were too!
He hissed fiercely “Minion!” his friend blinked, and then looked up at him.
Megamind pointed at the advancing zombie-dog, and Minion looked back at it, his eyes widened and he struggled to pull himself up to the roof. The dog jumped up, narrowly missing Minions foot, He squeaked and kicked the dog in the jaw as it jumped up again.
It yelped but still wouldn’t stop trying to pull Minion down. With a burst of hulk strength, Minion pulled himself up, almost knocking Megamind over in the process.
They both simultaneously looked over the edge at the dog; it was just sitting there, watching them with its bright, almost luminescent grey eyes.
Well this is just peachy! Megamind thought sarcastically Trapped on my roof by a dog! He sighed and looked over at Minion, who was glaring at the dog as if it was the most angering thing on the planet. He would have laughed if the situation weren’t so serious; suddenly a thought came to his head. The dog is technically a zombie, right, so they could just kill the dog and use its flesh.
I’m going to get a lot of hate letters from PETA now, huh? He snickered at the thought. He grabbed his de-Gun and set it to destroy; he knew from past experience that this setting would make things explode.
He pointed it at the dogs head; it would explode like the watermelon did last year. He could swear the dog was staring at his soul when he shot, and sure enough the head exploded, sending its brains and tissue everywhere. He leaped away from the edge; he didn’t feel like getting any brains on his face.
Minion looked at him strange, he explained “we are going to use the dog, since the one time we need the zombies, they are no where to be found” Minion nodded “okay, but you have to go get it”. Megamind glared at him “fine, I’ll go get it” he walked over to the edge, and then looked back at Minion “how do I get it without touching it?”
Minion rolled his eyes “use the dehydration setting!” Megamind nodded as he climbed down “right, right, why didn’t I think of that?” he could hear Minion hiss under his breath “Maybe because I did”. Megamind ignored him as he shot the headless dog, and picking up the blue cube. He was sure to look around before climbing back up; the zombies could just be hiding.
He climbed on the roof and set the cube down before looking at Minion “now we wait until morning, we still need two disguises”. Minion nodded before lying on his back to look up at the stars, Megamind joined him.
They both knew it was going to get worse before it got better. Megamind’s thoughts swung to his kidnappee, and his life long crush, Roxanne Ritchie. He saw a shooting star fly across the sky, and wished with every fiber of his being that she survived. He soon fell asleep along with Minion, with wishful thoughts about the future.
