//------------------------------// // The Hostage // Story: Megamind: Being Bad is Now 20% Cooler! // by LittleBoyBlue //------------------------------// The Partnerand Minion were walking down the street with a small army of brain bots, overjoyed. Minion had a bound Rainbow Dash on his chest in what appeared to be a baby chest carrier. She was still unconscious, while they celebrated their achievement. "You did it sir! you did it sir!" "Yes I did!" They both sang. "Us!" Minion said. "I did it!" Megamind replied. "We both did it!" "Not us, I" "You a little more than me, but still, come on! When they're handing out the awards, I'm going to be right there next to you, right sir?" "What awards? Awards for what?" A short moment of silence as they walked with the brain bots. "HIT IT!" Megamind pointed at Minion. Minion lifted up the boombox and activated it. The song started, while Megamind danced to it. ~~~ "Enemy in sight! Keep your guard up!" The Royal Guards said, as they heard the song. They then saw an explosion of white smoke appear in front of them. Then, lasers shone through, and came together to shape a blue head with red laser eyes. A small explosion occurred, revealing a laughing Megamind. The guards, knowing what he had done, shook with fear of the blue humanoid. "Drop 'em!" Megamind ordered. One Royal Guard fearfully dropped his weapon, and soon the others followed suit. Megamind skipped through the crowd, laughing along the way. He then stopped at the mayor and frazzled her mane. He then continued up the steps to her building. Once he reached the top of the stairs, he turned his back to the crowd and raised his hands to the music. He turned again, smiling. He then signaled to Minion to end the song. Minion pressed the button, only to be playing another song. Megamind signaled faster for him to stop. Minion was pressing the button multiple times. Megamind turned to him, with disbelief and confusion in his eyes. Minion finally punched the boombox, killing it. A pink brain bot handed Megamind the mic. He blew on it to check if it worked. "First off, what a turnout!" Megamind spoke. "How WILD is this huh?!" Megamind then guffawed at that statement. "All I did, was eliminate the most powerful man in the universe. Are there any questions?" Journalists were busy writing, while everypony stayed quiet. "Come on." Megamind said. Suddenly, a purple hoof rose into the air. "Yes! You in the back!" "I'm sure we'd all like to know what you plan to do with us, and this town?" Twilight asked. "Good, I'm glad you asked that," Megamind replied. "Imagine, the most Horrible, TERRIFYING, Evil thing you can think of........and multiply it......by six!" He exclaimed. The ponies were all silent. "In the meantime, I want you to carry on with the dreary normal things you, normal ponies do. Let's just have fun with this! Come on!" Megamind spoke. "And I will get back to you!" He then wrapped his cape around himself, hiding everything but his eyes. He tiptoed backwards to the building and entered it. Minion followed him, still with Rainbow sleeping in the holder, with the boombox still up. "Oh! And in case anypony gets any bright ideas, I'm holding HER hostage!" Megamind said, pointing his dehydration gun at her. "Wait, she's our hostage? We never planned th-" "I'll explain later Minion!" Megamind loudly whispered. "Now slam the door really hard!" Minion shrugged and slammed the door using his feet. They were giggling, while the crowd looked on in confusion and disarray. "They, they can still see you." Megamind said. "Move to the right!" Minion did so. "How about now?" Minion asked. "Your elbow's still out!" They then walked inside the building, giggling like, well, madmen, as the crowd was left outside. ~~~ "Sister," Princess Celestia spoke to Luna. "I think it's time we paid a visit to Megamind." ~~~~~~~~
