  Here's my day so far: Went to jail, lost the girl of my dreams, and got my butt kicked pretty good.
Still, things could be a lot worse.......
Oh, that's right....I'm falling to my death.  Guess they can't.
How did it all come to this you ask?  My end starts at the beginning.....
The VERY beginning!

There was a cute little baby that was well.....blue. it was doing well, baby stuff.
Yes. That's me. I had a fairly standard childhood. I came from what you might call a broken home.
LITERALLY broken.

Two humanoid parents grab the infant Megamind and carry him to an escape pod.
I was eight days old and still living with my parents. How sad is THAT?
Clearly it was time to move on.
The parents put the young Megamind into the pod.

"Here is your Minion. He will take care of you." The mother said, as she passed the fish-like creature to the baby.
"And here is your binky!" The father said, as he passed it towards the child.
Then, the father holds the mother close, sad to see their son go. He said his final words to the boy.
"You are destined for-" but, the hatch closes as the pod was ready to launch.

I hadn't quite heard the last part, but it sounded important.
Destined for what?!

The ship rockets up, causing the baby to bounce all around his pod. A golden pod from another planet appeared beside his pod.
I set out to find my destiny. Turns out a kid from the Glaupunkt quadrant had the exact same idea.
That was the day I met Mr. Goody Two-Shoes, and our glorious rivarly was BORN!
The two pods flew towards a familiar looking planet. They then entered the atmosphere, as Megamind's pod was flying towards the royal castle.

Could this be what I was destined for? A dream life of luxury?
Megamind's pod gets bumped by the other pod, throwing Megamind towards another course.
Apperantly NOT! Even fate picks it's favorites. No matter, perhaps I belonged elsewhere.
Megamind's pod bounce all the way to a carriage carrying a fresh batch of prisoners. It broke through the roof, landing in front of the three ponies. They all stared at him.
"Can we keep it?" Asked one of the prisoners to the guard.
Meanwhile, "Metroman" landed in front of Princess Celestia. His pod door opened, revealing the baby inside.
"What's this?" The princess levitated the young one in front of her and started cradling it.
"Oh, it's a baby! How delightful!"
Back in prison They began to raise me as one of their own. Teaching me what's bad....The prison ponies showed a card that had a Royal Guard on it and they shook their heads. Megamind followed suit.
And what's good.....They then grabbed a card that showed a pony stealing from somepony else. They then smiled and nodded. Megamind did the same.
While I was stuck behind bars, He had HIS life handed to him on a silver platter.

"Amazing! Apperantly this young one can fly!" The princess was surprised to see him gliding around the room.

He had the amazing talents of flying, invulnerability, and really good hair.
I had an incredible talent too. My amazing intellect, and knack for building objects of mayhem!
Megamind was riding his Tricycle of Destruction down the halls of the prison. Prisoners were escaping everywhere. He busted a wall down, only to be stopped by a middle-aged Royal Guard, with a brown, bushy mustache and a combed, brown mane.
After a few years-and some time off for good behavior-I was given an opportunity to better myself through learning.
At a strange place called "shool". It was there that I once again ran into Mr. Goody Two-Shoes.
Megamind, as a young boy, is being transported to "Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns". The door opens and he sees Metroman flying around, while ponies looked on, cheering for him. A certain purple unicorn caught Megamind's eye. She was in the corner, reading a book. Then, Metroman and everypony else but that purple unicorn, was staring at Megamind.
He had already amassed a gigantic army of magically-skilled groupies. He bought their affections with showmanship, and extravegent gifts of deliciousness. Metroman used his laser eyes to create popcorn for everypony to eat.
So I too, would make this pop-ed corn and win over those easily amused ponies. Megamind is sketching a design back at the prison. Once the guard declares lights out, the lanterns are snuffed. Megamind then brings out his binky and uses it as a light to continue his work. The next day, Megamind puts Minion on the robotic device and activates it. Unfortunetly, it malfunctions, and causes a fire. Metroman then sucks in the fire, and puts Megamind in the corner.
That's when I learned a very hard lesson: Good receives all the praise and adjulation. While evil is sent to quiet time in the corner. So fitting in wasn't really an option.
While they were learning "How to hatch a dragon egg", I learned how to dehydrate animate objects and rehydrate them at will. Megamind aims his ray at Minion then fires. A small blue cube is left in place. He then grabs a small cup of water and pours it on top of the cube. Minion reappears, but in a dead pose. Megamind then gets worried, and taps the glass. Minion rights himself and smiles at Megamind. Megamind then smiles in relief.
Some days it just felt like it was me and Minion, against the world.
The unicorns were lifting up small objects using their magic. One levitated a rock. Another lifted a small branch. Metroman, however, grabbed a boulder and lifted it off the ground. The unicorns were cheering at him. Megamind then tried to lift up a decent sized boulder. No luck. Everypony laughed at him. Well, ALMOST everypony.
No matter how hard I tried, I was always the odd man out, the last one picked, the screw up, the black sheep.......the bad boy. The next day, Megamind had on a strange helmet and some gloves. The ponies and Metroman were lifting things up again. Megamind smiled as he activated his costume. Immediately, a blue aura surrounded a rock he pointed at. The rock levitated in front of him. Metroman and the others were staring at him. He then proceeded to taunt them by tapping his head, showing off his intelligence. Then the rock flew straight at him and bonked his head. Everypony started laughing at him. He then got up and snapped his fingers in frustration. The rock broke. Startled by this, Megamind started waving his hand around. The chunks flew everywhere. One hit a window, another hit the helmet of Megamind's Warden, and one was headed right at the teacher. Fortunatly, Metroman stopped the rock chunk. He then recieves a star on his chest as Megamind is sent to the corner again. Was this my destiny?
Wait.....maybe it was! Being bad is the one thing I'm good at! Then it hit me: if I was the bad boy, then I was gonna be the baddest boy of them ALL!!!!!Megamind, after his revalation, smiles deviously and grabs some chemicals. That was the ONLY time that purple unicorn ever looked at what he was doing. A giant blue cloud engulfed the classroom, as Megamind was being transported back to Prison. Metroman, now slightly blue, stuck his tongue out and carried the school to where it is today.
I was destined to be a supervillain, and we were destined to be rivals. The die had been cast!  And so began an epic enduring lifelong career. And I loved it!
Newspaper Headlines were made: "Metro Man and the newfound Elements trump the villanous duo of Nightmare Moon and Megamind!"
"Reign of Chaos postponed by Metro Man and Bearers of the Elements" Our battles quickly got more elaborate, "Element of Magic too much for Blue Antagonist!"
"Loser!"He would win some, I would almost win others,"Megamind and the Changeling Queen Foiled by Metro Man and the Magic of Love!" He called himself: Metro Man, defender of Equestria. "Metro Man: Defender of Equestria!" I decided to pick something a little more humble: Megamind! Incredibly Handsome Criminal Genius, and Master of all Villainy!
Headlines come together to make the word "Megamind".

> The Watch

  A grey maned, Royal Guard, with a grey bushy mustache was walking with a present on his back. He was walking through the prison halls to where his personal prisoner was kept. The gate opened as he came in. Another Royal Guard was sitting at the control table, sipping coffee while reading a newspaper. "First Ever Elements of Harmony and Metro Man Museum Celebration! Metro Man and Elements to make appearance!"
"Read on your own time!" The veteran guard barked, scaring the other guard.
"Open up!"
The younger guard pulled a lever, opening a window on a large dome room. The grey maned guard walked towards the window to see a room with a chair. The room had an assortment of cute, furry creatures, and a desk for letters to be sent. Not that THIS certain prisoner would GET letters. The chair spinned around, but it was empty.
"Hey!" The old guard pressed his face against the window, looking everywhere for the prisoner.
"BOO!" The blue humanoid suddenly appeared right in front of the Guard.
He gives a small exclamation as the blue prisoner laughs and heads back towards his chair.
"Ha! Good Morning Warden!" Megamind chuckled.
"Good news! I'm a changed man! And I'm ready to re-enter to soceity as a, solid citizen." He smiled, as he stared at Warden.
"You're a villain! And you'll always be one! And you'll never leave!" Warden replied.
"You're fun." Megamind playfully said.
"You got a present from our mail."
"Is it a puppy?" Megamind asked while leaning over to try and see.
"It's from Metro Man," He pulled out a watch from the box. Warden began reading the note. "To count every second of your eighty-five life sentences."
Warden then put the note away. "That's funny. Never thought Metro Man was the gloating type...." he then looked at the watch and smiled. "Oh, but he does have nice taste! I think I'll keep it!" He wraps the watch around his hoof. It fit snugly.
"Any chance you could give me the time? I don't wanna be late for the opening of the Elements of Harmony and Metro Man Museum." Megamind asked, looking devious as usual.
Warden sarcastically looked at his watch.
"Oh, no. Looks like you're gonna miss it....." Warden doesn't notice the watch recording his voice.  He then sternly glares at Megamind. "By several THOUSAND years." He then trotted off towards the entrance of the building.
Megamind smiled.
"Oh, am I?" Megamind began to chuckle, while Warden walked away.
Meanwhile, a robotic hand shifts the gears on a vehicle. The vehicle turns invisible, as the car zooms off towards the prison.

> The Crush
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  "Today we are celebrating not only the Elements of Harmony, but we are also celebrating our "seventh Element", Metro Man." Twilight was speaking while walking towards the musuem. Spike was on her back, munching on a cupcake. But there was also a small, extremly skinny griffon following Twilight. He was hovering over her, while he jotted down what she was saying.
"His heart is an ocean, inside an even bigger ocean. Today, not only do we recognize all the things he has done for us, but we also take the time, to truly appreciate his compassion." Twilight then turned to the griffon. "Ok, now write my signature please." The griffon nodded, quickly writing it.
"You must REALLY like this job Twi!" Spike said, finished with his muffin.
"The princess said you can do it once or twice, but you might as well be working for the news!"
Twilight giggled.
"Well, I guess I'm just the right type of mare for the job."
"Wow. Okay, the things they make you write for the newspaper is un-freakin-believable! It's crazy!" The griffon said, as he turned away, finishing the article.
Twilight gave him a confused look.
"I wrote that piece myself Garret."
Garret then froze with complete nervousness as he slowly turned around.
"What I'm trying to say WAS, that I can't believe that, in our modern soceity, they let like, actual ART on the paper."
"Nice save Garret." Spike just rolled his eyes as they continued walking. Garret landed by Twilight, deciding to walk instead.
"Agh my wings are so freakin' tired." He said under his breath.
"Mmh?" Twilight asked.
"Nothing!" Garret said. "Sooooooo.....how 'bout that Metro Man eh?"
"Yes, what about him?" Twilight questioned.
"I'm just saying, if I were Metro Man, Megamind wouldn't be kidnapping you all the time!"
"Hmm?"
"And I'd be watching you! Like a dingo, watches, a new-born foal." Twilight gave him a look.
"Ok that sounded a little creepy." Garret said.
"JUST a little."
"You're agreeing with me and that makes this situation awkward, which is making ME feel awkward, and-" Twilight cuts out his talking.
"Now I see why THIS guy jumped at my offer for assistance." Twilight mumbled. She turned only to see a shady gorilla-like figure in what appeared to be a car. The figure pulled out a spray can and sprayed Twilight and Spike. Spike falls off, as an unconscious Twilight is grabbed and put into the car. It then zooms off, hitting a baloon stand along the way.
"-not saying I love you, I don't love you. Not saying I DON'T love you....Fine! I love you! There I said it!" Garret then turned, but saw nopony but Spike lying unconscious on the ground.
"Twilight? Twily Sparks?" He called.
But the car was long gone.

> The Escape
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  As Warden walked off towards the entrance, the watch soon got to work. It activated it's scanners and scanned Warden's body. After a full scan, the watch then had Warden's face on it. It then changed to Megamind's face. The watch rotated, causing a click. Then, Warden's image changed into Megamind. The prisoners were shouting.
"Get back to work!  We don't pay you to loaf!" Warden said, not noticing his changed image. The guards that were playing cards looked in shock. Then they got up quickly and charged their "taser" spell.
"Whoa wait, what are you doing? Guys its MEEEeEEEE!!!!" Warden was shocked by their horns as the spell was cast. They then dragged him back to Megamind's cell. They started to strap him in. Little did they know that the REAL Megamind was hiding behind the chair. He then took the watch off and put it on his wrist. Then, Warden changed back to his original image.
"No you foals! He tricked us!" He weakly said.
They then looked in awe as Megamind was out the door.
"You were right...." Megamind started, as he twisted his watch. He then changed into Warden's image, but with Megamind's green eyes.
"I'll always be a villain. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Megamind spoke with Warden's voice, as the REAL Warden and the other guards were locked in his cell. They stared angrily as he walked away.
Megamind got outside and excitingly saluted a fellow Royal Guard. The guard tipped his helmet in response. He then proceeded to look for his ride. And there it was. It approached him, and stopped in front of him.
The window opened to reveal Minion, his fish friend, with his robotic gorilla suit.
"Why hello there good looking!" Minion said, opening the car door.
"Need a lift?"
"I certainly do you old fish fiend you!" Megamind said, as he jumped in the car. The car sped off, as guards got there too late.
Megamind turned the watch with his hoof. He then changed back to his original, blue image.
"Nice work sending me that watch Minion!" He said, playfully punching Minion's arm.
"You've got it boss!" Minion replied.
The car then rode away, with Twilight having a bag on her head in the back seat.
~~~
> The Speech
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  A wall was busted open. Out came a man with a white costume. It had a giant M on it. He then spoke.
"All right. Put your hooves in the air!"
The crowd cheered loudly.
"Yeah Ponyville!"
Metro Man then started flying across the crowd, hand extended.
"Up top!" He said.
The ponies were high-hoofing him as he flew across. He then grabbed three babies with him. He flew back on the stage and started juggling the babies. With a smile, he gently threw the first two back to their mothers. He then kissed the third one and threw it back on the baby carriage, safe and sound. He then grabbed the microphone and tossed it to his other hand. He turned around and gave his most charming smile.
"Hey Ponyville."
The crowd cheered even more as Metro Man flew in front of them.
Mares were crying in adoration.
"Hey! Hi!" Metro Man said, as he waved towards the crowd.
Guards were shooting beams of magic in the air.
"Whoa. Hey! All right let's calm down now. Let's be serious." He hovered down to the water basin made for him. He landed on it and walked on the water.
"Lower it down boys." The music stopped, as Metro Man prepared for his speech.
~~~

"Gosh. I sure hope Twi can make it here on time!" Applejack was behind the curtains, with the rest of the Mane Six. All they were missing was Twilight.
"Don't worry! She's probably doing that newspaper article again. You know how the egghead is." Rainbow said.
"Well, let's hope she doesn't come TOO late. She IS the honorary mare to give the speech. Right after the opening!" Rarity said, checking her dress for any folds or creases.
"Omigosh I'm so excited!!!!!! I've never been to a musuem! That's because museums are BOR-ing! I'd rather go fly a kite, go play jump rope, skiing.....ooh! That curtain is gold! So shiny!" Pinkie Pie said, being random as usual.
Then Pinkie stopped, and started twitching.
"Twitch! Twitchy-Twitch!"
~~~
"Although getting a whole musuem is super cool, you want to know what the greatest honor you've given me is? Do you really want to know? Really?" Metro Man had the crowd lowered down a little.
"The greatest honor you've given me is letting me serve you, the innocent ponies of Ponyville. At the end of the day, I often ask myself, "Who would I be, without you ponies? And more importantly, who would I be, without the Elements?" He then turned around.
"The REAL heroes."
"I LOVE YOU METRO MAN!!!!!" A certain aquamarine unicorn yelled out.
"And I love you random citizen!" Metro Man then laughed as he swirled the water around. The crowd cheered once again, as he launched himself up, creating a splash.
~~~
> The Lair
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The invisible car pulled up into the lair. It became visible once more, then it parked. Minion and Megamind came out, laughing. Minion went to the backseat and grabbed Twilight from the backseat. He put her on his shoulder.
"Ahhh I tell you Minion. There is no place like evil lair."
"I've kept it cold and damp just for you." Minion said, slamming his door.
"How-how do I look Minion? Do I look bad?"
"Disgustingly horrifying sir."
Megamind laughed.
"You always know what to say."
Then, a horde of brain bots appeared in front of them.
"The brain bots sure missed you sir."
"Didja miss me? Didja miss me?" He reached out to pet a brain bot. The brain bot almost bit him.
"Ah ah ah! No biting! NO biting!" He then grabbed a wrench.
"You want the wrench? Go get the wrench!" He threw the wrench, and all the brain bots immediately chased it.
Megamind chuckled a little.
They then went to the elevator.
They both held their breath, then looked at each other. They burst out laughing, as they move up.
The elevator reaches the top.
It was then that Twilight started to wake. She started struggling to get free.
"She's awake! Quick!" Minion placed Twilight on the seat. Megamind then took his seat. He was busy settling his facial features. He looked at the nearby brain bot and signaled for it to sit on his lap. Once it was on his lap, he began petting it.
Minion then removed the bag to reveal a coughing Twilight.
Megamind turned his chair around to face her.
"Miss Sparkle, we meet again." Megamind said, smiling.
"Would it kill you to wash the bag?!" Twilight asked.
"You can scream all you wish Miss Sparkle!  I'm afraid nopony can hear you!" Twilight just stared at him, unamused.
"Why.....uh, why isn't she screaming?" Megamind asked Minion.
"Miss Sparkle, if you don't mind?" Minion asked her.
"Like this. AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!" he grabs on to the brain bot real tight, startling it.
"But that's a poor old mare scream." Megamind said. Then, the brain bot bit Megamind's hand. Megamind gave a manly shriek of pain.
"That's a little better." Twilight sarcastically said.
Twilight then looks around the lair.
"Okay. This has been bugging me ever since you've started kidnapping me. I REALLY need to know! Where in the hay do you get these Electricity coils and Blinky dials?"
"Actually, most of it comes from an outlet store in-"
"Don't answer that!" Megamind said to Minion, while trying to get the brain bot off his hand.
Minion stood in silence with Twilight.
"Roamania" Minion whispered to her. Megamind then moved his chair next to Twilight's
"Don't! Stop! She's using her adorable pupils on your weak willed mind," Minion gasped and touched his "head"
"to find out all our secrets." Minion then placed his hands on his "mouth".
Megamind then slowy turned around Twilight's chair.
"Such tricks," he was to her left. "won't work," Twilight smirked a little.
"on me."
"Please talk slower." Twilight whispered.
"Temptress!" Megamind then went back to his area.
"Wait, what secrets?! You're so predictable!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Predictable? Predictable?" Megamind got up from his chair.
"You call, THIS..." he launched the brain bot off his hand. "PREDICTABLE?!"
He then pulled a lever to reveal a pool of alligators below Twilight.
"Alligators, yep! I was thinking about it on the way over"
Megamind, a bit annoyed, tried again.
"What's this? Something new!" A whole bunch of blades appeared.
"Cliched." Twilight said, looking bored.
"No look watch!" A saw blade came down.
"Juvenile."
"Shock and awe!" A chainsaw appears.
"Tacky."
"Oh it's so scary!" A line of spiked boots appear behind her.
"Seen it."
"What's this one do?!" A flamethrower appeared and shot flames out.
"Garish."
Megamind finally gave up and laid down on his controls.
"Okay the spider's new."
Megamind perked up.
"Spider?" He turned to see a spider in front of a smirking Twilight.
He looked over at Minion. Minion just shrugged.
"Uhh...uh yes! The Spia-der." Megamind said, walking towards her.
"Even the smallest bite from, Arachnus Deathicus, will instantly paralyze-" Twilight then exhaled at the spider. The spider landed right on Megamind's eye.
"WHOAAA!" Minion slapped him right in the face, causing Megamind to fall.
"Aargghhh! Get it off!!!!" Minion then kicks him. "Owww!!!"
Twilight rolled his eyes.
"Give it up Megamind. Your plans never work!"
Megamind got up, holding his eye.
"Let's just call your boyfriend in tights, shall we?!" He pointed up. Then the brain bot landed on his hand, biting once more.
Megamind held it in for a little while, but couldn't anymore.
Another manly shriek of pain.
~~~
> The Rescue Mission
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  "Twilight still isn't here, Pinkie is twitching, what could it all mean?" Rainbow asked.
~~~
"Metro Man, if you please." The mayor said, pointing at the ribbon.
Metro Man used his laser vision to cut the ribbon. The crowd cheered some more. The Cakes were there too. However, a strangley shaped body with a jacket and a hat stood in front of the father. Mr. Cake was holding Pound Cake.
"Umm, excuse me," he tapped on the figure's "shoulder". "My baby can't see."
The figure turned around to reveal a brain bot. Pound Cake started crying at the sight of it.
Then, more brain bots appeared. One had a MegaProjecter (which is pretty much a normal projecter). Another had a MegaCamcorder (again, just a normal camcorder).
~~~
"Oh dear. This could only mean one thing." Rarity said.
~~~
A ring of black thunder clouds surrounded the museum. The projecter turned on, revealing a cackling blue antagonist.
~~~
"Megamind." Rainbow concluded.
"Oh my." Fluttershy said.
~~~
The crowd started booing at Megamind.
"Oh, boooooooo! Boooo! See? I can boo too! Boooooo!" Megamind said, mocking the crowd.
Metro Man then raised his mic.
"I should've known you would've tryed to crash the party."
"Oh, I intend to do more than just crashing. THIS is the day you, and Ponyveele, shall not soon forget!"
"It's pronounced, Ponyville!" The crowd cheered Metro Man on.
"Oh potato tomato, potato tomato." Megamind replied.
"We all know how this ends....with YOU, behind bars." The crowd whooped.
"Oh! I'm shaking in my custom-made baby seal leather boots!" Megamind said, pointing at his left foot.
"YOU will leave Ponyveele!" Megamind exclaimed. "Or this will be the last, you ever hear of, TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"
Megamind then pressed a button, revealing a bound Twilight on a chair, though she looked quite bored.
"Ha! You see?" Megamind said, as he pointed at the scene next to his screen.
"Twilight!" Metro Man said.
"Don't panic Twi, I'm on my way." Metro Man said, signaling with his hand.
"Yeah, I'm not panicking!" Twilight replied calmly.
"In order to stop me, you need to find her first, Metro Man!" Megamind said, with a smirk.
Twilight scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"We're at the abandoned observatory." She said.
"AH-HUH!!! NO WE'RE NOT!" Megamind freaked out, then pressed the button again, hiding Twilight.
"Don't listen to her she's crazy!" But it was too late. Metro Man swooped up above the clouds and headed towards the coastline.
~~~
"All right! Here's the plan!" Rainbow was taking leadership.
"Since Twi has been kidnapped, and Metro Man knows where she is, we have to follow him!"
"But how are we going to do that? I cannot teleport myself, Fluttershy would prefer to walk and no offense," Rarity turned to Applejack and Pinkie. "I doubt that you two can keep up with Metro Man either."
AJ nodded.
"None taken." She said.
"Okee dokee loki!" Pinkie replied.
Rainbow sighed.
"Fine. You guys stay here and help everypony else, while I go help Metro Man save Twi. All right?"
They all nodded.
"Ok! Wish me luck!" Rainbow said, as she started to zoom quickly towards Metro Man.
Her friends waved and said their "good lucks" to her.
And the rescue mission was on.
~~~
> I did it?
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Metro Man is shown, with a cyan pegasus hot on his trail, heading towards the observatory. Minion smiles and turns to Megamind.
"Metro Man approaching sir."
"HA!" Twilight exclaimed.
"HA HA!" Megamind replied, laughing loudly.
"Ha Ha Ha!" Twilight responded.
"Mmhmmhmm-mwwwaaahahahahahahahahahahahahaa!" Megamind cackled, as he pulled a lever, discarding all the weapons from Twilight.
~~~
Metro Man neared the abandoned observatory, launching himself towards the telescope.
"WAIT!" Rainbow exclaimed.
~~~
Twilight, seeing Metro Man's approach, braced for impact.
~~~
Metro Man burst through, spinning the telescope. This threw Rainbow out of the air, and caused her to take a tumble in the observatory, right before the door closed. Metro Man, observing his surroundings, turned around.
"Hold on a second."
~~~
Twilight opened her eyes, surprised to not see Metro Man.
Megamind then chuckled.
"Oh good heavens," Megamind mocked, with a false sense of sympathy.
"You didn't think you were in the REAL observatory," Megamind then activated the fake observatory's doors to open, showing a view of the REAL observatory.
"DID YOU?!"
Megamind chuckled.
"Ready the Death Ray Minion!"
"Death Ray, readying!" Minion pressed a button, sending signals to a strange device on top of the fake observatory.
The machine jolted to life, transforming into the death ray it was designed to be.
Megamind then activated the cameras inside the real observatory to reveal himself laughing at Metro Man.
~~~
"Over here old friend!" Megamind teased. "In case you haven't noticed, you've fallen right into my trap."
"You can't trap justice. It's an idea. A belief!"
"But even the most heartfelt belief, can be corroded over time!"
"Justice, is a non-corrosive metal."
"But all metals can be melted, by the heat of REVANGE!"
"It's reVENGE, and it's best served cold!"
"But it can be easily reheated, in the microwave of evil!" Megamind said, holding up his MegaMicroWave (which is just a black EasyBake Oven with an "M" on it).
"Well I think your warranty's about to expire."
"Maybe I got an extended warranty!" Megamind said, bringing his eye right to the camera.
"Warranties are inVALID, if you don't use the product for it's intended purpose!"
"Girls, girls, you're both pretty! Can I go home now?" Twilight said with sarcasm in her voice.
"Of course you can. Only if Metro Man, can withstand the full concentrated power, of Celestia's Sun!" He then pointed to the left.
"FIRE!"
~~~
"Sister," Luna asked, with a sense of urgency in her voice.
"Something's wrong."
"Well, from my view, I believe Metro Man and The Element of Loyalty have this under control Luna." Princess Celestia replied, seeing the view from their picnic ground.
"Just enjoy this picnic my dear sis!"
"Oh, if thou insists." Luna said. Still, she couldn't shrug the feeling that something "unharmonious" was bound to happen.
~~~
Metro Man had a bored look on his face. He stared up and down the area, waiting.
Megamind was still pointing, with that less-evil looking grin on his face. Rainbow Dash looked at his face. She then began to crack up. Megamind then stormed over to Minion.
"Minion? Fire?!"
"Uh, still warming up sir."
"Come again?"
"Warming up sir."
"WARMING UP?! The SUN is warming up?!" Megamind had an incredulous look on his face.
"One second moooooore.....and just a tippy tappy, tippy tap, tap tip more...." the crowd at the celebration waited impatiently. The mayor checked her watch.
"Honestly!" Megamind said, annoyed.
"Aaaaand we are ready....in just a few-hang one second."
Megamind gave a groan.
"I told you to have things ready, I told you COUNTLESS times!"
"Why do you always blame me?" Minion asked. Megamind then clutched his eye.
"OH! My spider bite is acting!" Twilight had just had about enough.
"Your plan is FAILING! Just admit it!"
"Yeah, good luck with THAT one." Minion said.
Megamind gave him a bewildered look.
"WHO's side are you ON?"
"The LOSING side." Twilight said.
"Thank-you!" Minion said, pleased that SOMEPONY understands him.
"Uh, could somepony stamp my frequent kidnapping card?" Twilight said.
Megamind chortled as he drew closer towards her.
"You of all ponies know, we discontinued that promotion." Megamind then turned to leave.
"Ciao ciao all!" He said, waving.
"Same time next week?" Twilight said, while she braced for the spray.
What they didn't notice was a struggling Metro Man inside the dome with a suddenly worried Rainbow Dash watching him.
"Umm, M-Man? What's wrong?" Rainbow asked.
Metro Man crashed one more time, then fell back down.
"Darn it Crab Nuggets!" He cursed.
Megamind suddenly turned around.
"What did he say?" He asked, confused.
Minion was with Twilight, both confused too.
"Crab Nuggets?" Minion questioned.
Megamind then walked back to the camera to see the cyan mare trying to lift him up.
"Come on Metro! Get back up!" Rainbow said.
"Dear Celestia! I'm trapped!"
Megamind was now extremley confused.
"What kind of trickery is this?" He asked.
"You mad genius! Your dark gift....has finally...paid off!" Metro Man said, shaking.
"It....it has?"
"This dome.....is obviously lined....with copper!" Rainbow was struggling to lift him up.
"C'mon man! Get up!" She said.
"Yeah. So?" Megamind asked.
"Sir! Uhhh....." Minion was anxiously pointing at the computer, showing that it was close to full charge.
"Copper...drains....my powers"
"Your weakness is copper? You're kidding right?"
"RAINBOW!!!!" Twilight yelled.
"Oh, this is going to hurt." Rainbow said, as the laser, now fully charged, shot at the observatory.
A giant explosion was seen, as the crowd stood in silence.
~~~
"Your majesty! Look!" The Royal Guard pointed at the explosion.
Princess Celestia choked on her banana milkshake.
"Oh no." Princess Luna moaned.
~~~
The shockwaves tumbled Megamind and Minion to the floor.
Megamind removed his cape from over his head as he slowly got up. Minion's head was literally "spinning".
The smoke cleared, as Minion broke the silence.
"I don't think even HE could survive that!" He said.
"Well....let's not get our hopes up just yet." Megamind replied.
Suddenly, a familiar white cape was flying towards the fake observatory.
"Metro Man!" Twilight said, relieved to see the cape.
"Oh! Metro Man!" Megamind said, both temporarily relieved.
"METRO MAN!! AGGGH!" They then realized the situation and began to panic.
The cape flew right towards Megamind and landed on him.
Megamind opened his eyes as the cape came off "Metro Man".
It revealed a human skelton, with an unconscious blue mare in the skelton.
Megamind yelled then crawled away from the skeleton. He stood up next to Minion.
Twilight gasped.
"Rainbow...." she softly said.
"You did it sir." Minion said.
"I did it?" Megamind asked.
~~~
"He did it." Princess Celestia sadly said.
~~~
Warden was helped out of Megamind's cell and given the news.
"He did it." He said.
~~~
"He did it." The Mayor of Ponyville silently spoke.
~~~
"You did it!" Minion said, excitingly.
"I did it!" Megamind cheered.
"I DID IT! Ponyveele is MINE!"
~~~~~~~~
> The Hostage
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

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."
~~~~~~~~
> The Visit
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The doors to the main office were suddenly being electrocuted. Then, it exploded, showing Minion carrying Megamind, careful not to crush Rainbow.
"There he is....Mister Evil Overlord!" Minion sang. Megamind got off and began to admire the room.
"Oh Minion, did you think this day would ever come?"
Minion chuckled a little
"No way. Not at all sir. Never. Never in a million-"
Megamind gave Minion a displeased look.
"I mean, yes! I did!" Minion said.
"Look at the intricate mouldings!" Megamind exclaimed, observing the room.
"I'm looking! I'm looking." Minion responded.
"And what's this?" Megamind was staring at the window.
"It's like one of the giant monitors in the lair, but it seems to carry only one station."
"Oh, that sir, is called a "window" "
"Window." Megamind repeated.
"All the kids are looking through them!" Minion said.
"Oooh! I've never had a view before." Megamind touched the window.
"Ponyveele Minion. It's all mine. If my parents could see me now!"
"Sir, I'm sure they're smiling down from evil heaven."
"And now that Mister Goody-Two Shoes is out of the way," Megamind said, pulling out his "Evil Overlord" plaque.
"I can do whatever I want!" He then began spinning around his chair.
"And there's nopony who can stop me!!" He began laughing loudly.
Then, two loud cracks were heard.
"I would not be so sure about that....MEGAMIND." the princess said.
Megamind spazzed in surprise, not knowing his dehydration ray was on. He accidently triggered it, and the beam hit Celestia.
She was then promptly turned into a small blue cube.
Luna gasped in disbelief.
"You....you....YOU KILLED HER!" Luna said, in her Royal Canterlot Voice.
"I what?" Megamind asked. He looked at Minion. Minion pointed at the small blue cube.
"Oh! I did? Huh." Megamind looked at the cube, then pointed his ray at Luna.
"And...and the same will happen to you if you don't leave Ponyveele, umm now! Yeah now!" Luna gave him an icy glare.
"Uh, sir....you're not really going to shoot both of the-"
"Of course not Minion!" Megamind whispered to him.
"I didn't even mean to shoot the princess!
"But you did."
"I know! I don't even know how that worked! Besides, I didn't REALLY kill her! She's just a cube now!"
"HEY!!!!" Luna shouted.
Megamind, startled again, pulled the trigger and shot Luna. She then too, turned into a small blue cube.
Megamind and Minion were wide-eyed. They stood there, blinking. Staring at the cubes.
"Looks like.......I have to rule Equestria...." Megamind said, still in shock.
There was then silence.
Minion then spoke.
"Oh look! She's hungry! You want da bottle? Yes you do!" Minion grabbed a baby bottle and gave it to the sleeping Rainbow Dash. She then perked up, and began sucking on the bottle, drinking the milk. She still had her eyes closed though.
Megamind gave Minion a strange look.
"What?" Minion said.
"Minion.....she's our hostage! Not our......baby!" Megamind said, looking at the scene.
"Well sorry, it just seemed like she's hungry, and well, she's in a baby carrier and well-"
"Let's just focus onto more important details Minion."
Minion shrugged, as he continued feeding the hungry mare.
"Me....ruling Equestria........" Megamind smiled, then began to cackle. Minion began to chortle with him. Rainbow just gave a smile, while she drank the liquid.
"All shall bow to me! Megamind, Evil Overlord!"
They then began to cackle, as the moon still shone outside.
"Sir, wait." Minion interuppted.
"How are we going to have day and night again? The princesses are now cubes."
Megamind paused, thinking of this new problem. He then looked at the cubes. He grinned, having an idea in his head.
"You'll see Minion, you'll see...."
~~~~~~
> Time to put the Past behind us......
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The town is in ruins. A cart was crashed into a makeshift target on a building. The whole mayor's office painted blue. Near the mayor's building, or rather, Megamind's building, there were a two Royal Guards watching over a huge machine. The Guards were being watched by a group of brain bots. One Guard eventually dozed off, until a brain bot came and gave him a small shock. He yelped, rubbing the stung area. He then groaned and went back to watching the machine.
Inside the building, art pictures were tarnished with blue drawings. Further down the hall was the entrance to "Megamind's" office. Inside, there were treasures, belongings, and wealth. Several Daring Do books were on the floor. Multiple bags full of bits were scattered around. Comic books lay everywhere. A certain pair of purple shades was on his desk. Megamind rested his head on his hands on the desk. He was staring at a water desk toy. It was a turkey with a top hat. It was sucking in water using physics. 
"That's right. Always thirsty, never satisfied." Megamind said, to the toy.
"I understand you, well dressed bird. Loneliness, emptiness.....its a vacuum isn't it?" Megamind then brought his head up.
"What's YOUR vacuum like?
Suddenly, Minion burst in, strumming a statue with a nail gun.
"GOING OFF THE RAILS ON THE CRAZY TRAIN SIR!" Minion sang.
"Not now Minion!" Megamind said.
"Can't you see I'm in a heated existential discussion, with a plastic, desk toy!" Megamind huffed, turning his chair around.
Minion was confused by Megamind's outburst.
"Is something wrong, sir?" Minion asked.
"Just think Minion. We have it all.....yet we have so little." Megamind replied.
"I'm sorry, you've lost me sir."
"I mean, I did it, didn't I?"
"Umm, yes you did sir, you made that perfectly clear."
"Then why do I feel so........Mel-on-choly?"
"Excuse me sir?"
"Unhappy."
"Oh" Minion pondered on this question. Then he perked up.
"Ooh! What if, we could go kidnap Twilight Sparkle? That always seems to lift your spirits up!" Minion suggested.
Megamind smiled for a moment, then became glum again.
"Good thought Minion, but without him," Megamind stared off into the museum a fair distance away. "What's the point?"
"Without who?"Minion asked.
"Nothing."
A short pause.
"Ok, we'll definitely think about that tomorrow, aaaaaand....." Minion said, while checking his watch.
"Oh! Would you look at the time! I've got to tell the guards to start the night sequence!" Minion slowly edged towards the door.
"Plus, I've got to feed Rainbow again soooooooo..........BYE!!" He quickly zoomed off, leaving Megamind alone.
Minion, once out of the room, went to where their "new guards" were positioned. He signaled the brain bots to start the night sequence. A brain bot went and zapped a Guard.
He screeched. Then gave Minion an angry glare.
"You said you wouldn't do that again!" He complained.
"Oops, heh heh, sorry." Minion laughed nervously.
"Can you please start the night sequence?"
The guard sighed.
"Fine.....your Highness." He choked on the last part of the sentence.
"Ahh! I never get tired of hearing that." Suddenly, Minion's watch beeped.
"Oh dear! Gotta feed a mare! Keep up the good work guys!" Minion gave a double thumbs up, as he left.
The guards rolled their eyes.
"For an evil sidekick, he sure sucks at being evil."
The other guard shrugged, as the first guard pulled the lever, causing the machine to switch from Celestia's power, to Luna's.
Thus, the sun began to lower, starting night time.
~~~
"I hope he hears this" Twilight said, as he stopped next to Megamind's residence. Garret stopped with her, and Spike jumped off of her back.
"Write this down Garret." Twilight said.
Garret quickly got out a pencil and paper.
"He was always there for us. Strong, faithful, dependable. We never took the time to actually get to know him..." Twilight looked to the ground. What she didn't know was that a certain blue alien was watching her.
"I guess you never know what you miss until its gone." Twilight then raised her head up.
"And I have just one message for Megamind....." She angrily stared at the window Megamind was looking out of.
"Are you happy now?" Megamind heard all she said, and still had a sad look on his face.
"Tomorrow, are you ready to become a slave army? What you need to know." Twilight then looked at Garret.
"Signature"
"Wrap that up, and give it to a foal on her birthday! 'Cause we're good!" Garret said, finishing the article.
Twilight turned to head towards the museum.
Suddenly, Garret stopped her.
"Hey Twilight! I'm having a party, you know, next week, and well its gonna have balloons, clowns, punch, its gonna be sick."
Twilight looked at Spike. He just rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Sorry Garret. I can't answer that right now. I've got to do some things first."
Twilight began to trot away.
"Oh Yeah! Also I hired, like, a wedding photographer, you know, like if something crazy happened and we want to remember it, for the rest of our lives." Garret choked out.
Twilight gave him a generally creeped out look.
"Wow.....I'll DEFINITELY think about it" She went back to walking away.
"So its a maybe on Wednesday?" Twilight ignored him, continuing her pace.
"Soft yes on Thursday? Ok." As Twilight walked away, Garret called for a taxi carriage 
The cart arrived in front of him.
What is...WRONG with you?!" He said to himself, kicking the wheel.
"Mares don't like clowns, they like cupcakes!" He then punched the shell of the carriage.
"OW! Ohhh!"
"HEY! Watch it!" Said a voice from the carriage.
"Sorry." Garret said.
He got in the transport.
"Stupid carriage. Broke my claw." He muttered, as the carriage took off.
Twilight then made her way to the museum, not knowing a blue humanoid was going inside too.
~~~
"I never meant to destroy you......well I MEANT to destroy you, but I didn't think it would ever work." Megamind was speaking to the giant statue of Metro Man. On the other side of the glass level, Twilight was with Spike.
"You were always there for us. Now, without you, evil is running rampant through the streets." Twilight told the statue 
"I'm so tired of running rampant through the streets. What's the point of being bad when there's no good to try and stop you?" Megamind said, looking at the marbled Metro Man.
Twilight then turned to leave, she then bumped into a dark brown unicorn with a frizzy mane and glasses.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I almost didn't see you there......ummm,"
"Bernard" he said, in a monotonous tone.
"Bernard. Right. I was just.....talking to Metro Man here....heh heh." Twilight giggled, embarrassed. Bernard kept the same straight face.
"You must think I'm pretty crazy huh?" She asked.
"I'm not allowed to insult guests directly." He replied.
"Oh. That's right. Can you just give us a few minutes? Please?" She asked, putting her "innocent eyes" on.
Bernard sighed loudly.
"Fine." Meanwhile, on the other side, Megamind was still speaking to the statue.
"I had so many ideas to follow through with. The Illiteracy Beam, Typhoon Cheese......Robo-Sheep." Megamind choked up.
"Battles which now we will never have"
The last word echoed across the level, reaching the ears of Spike and Twilight.
"Didja hear that?" Spike asked.
"I did. Somepony else is here." She concluded.
"So it's good that we have this time now," Megamind brought out a bouquet of roses. "You know, before I blow this museum to pieces." He took out a bundle of dynamite with a timer on it out of the bouquet.
"Nothing personal, just too many bad memories." He dropped the bomb and bouquet to the floor. The bouquet was picked up bya brain bot. The bomb was grabbed by another brain bot. Then, it joined the other brain bots placing dynamite at the base of the statue.
"Hello? Anypony there?" Twilight asked from the other side.
Megamind gasped.
"Twilight!" He then looked over himself, still in his pajamas, then looked at the bombs at the base. He started running away from the source of her voice.
She started running towards the footsteps, with Spike close by. Megamind kept running, until he bumped into a unicorn pushing a cart. Megamind then got up.
"That's a pretty tasteless costume." The unicorn said.
"Costume?!" Megamind said, confused.
"Megamind's head is TOTALLY not THAT disproportionated."
Megamind, hearing the hoof steps getting closer, scanned the unicorn with his watch. He then took out his Dehydration Gun.
"Oh. And you even made a cheap replica of his Dehydration Gun. How origina-" The unicorn couldn't finish his sentence, as he was promptly turned into a small blue cube.
"Hello?!" She was very close now. Megamind hid behind the cart, turning his watch to change form. He suddenly popped up, still holding the cube, right when Twilight and Spike appeared.
"Oh! It's only you Bernard." Megamind quickly put the cube in a book on the cart.
"Ummm, yes! Its just me....Bernard." He said the name with the same monotonous tone. He then grabbed the book and headed to the elevator. He quickly kept pressing the button.
"Listen, you might not want to be here in the next two minutes and thirty seven seconds. We're having the walls and ceiling removed." The elevator door finally opened, as the he entered inside it.
"Oh. I see. Guess I'll.....hitch a ride with you then." She entered the elevator, along with Spike, right before the door closed. They then stood in awkward silence while the elevator moved down.
"I expected him to do another one of his last minute escapes." Twilight said, breaking the silence.
Bernard exhaled.
"Yeah. He was very good at those."
"I sometimes wish the world had a reset button to fix all this."
"I've looked into the reset button," Bernard sobbed. "The science is impossible!"
They then reached the bottom floor. Twilight put her hoof on his shoulder.
"Bernard, I didn't know you had feelings."
"Its because of this whole mess," he said, while they took the down escalator.
"Now that Metro Man is gone, there's nopony left to stop Megamind."
"Now hold on Bernard," She stopped him when they touched the floor."True, Metro Man is gone. And we don't have ALL the Elements, but anypony can be a hero! They just need to be able to stand up against Megamind! Its like they say, heroes aren't born, they're made."
Bernard perked up and looked at her.
"That's it! All we need are the right ingredients! Like Strength!"
"Determination!"
"Courage!"
"Willpower!"
"Bravery!"
"And a smidgen of DNA." Bernard said under his breath, looking at the DNA Spiral.
"With that, ANYPONY can be a hero!" He exclaimed. They gave shouts of joy, as Bernard lifted Twilight off the ground. When she was back on the ground, Bernard's watch beeped.
"I think we should run!" He said.
~~~
"Bye!" Bernard said, as he waved at Twilight, leaving with Spike in the taxi carriage.
He then turned around to museum.
"Time to put the Past behind us..." He then turned the watch, changing back to his true form.
"Only the future-" The museum suddenly exploded, throwing chunks of rock everywhere. Megamind accidentally dropped the book with the cube in it.
"OH! Oh my gosh! I hope nopony's watching this!" He then picked up the book with the cube in it and began running.
"Aggghh! This is Shool all over again!" Megamind then made his way to his evil lair.
~~~~~~
> The Discovery
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  "Create a hero? Wait, What?!" Minon asked, holding a box of donuts in his hands.
"Why would you want to do that?"
"So I have somepony to fight!" Megamind said, grabbing a piece of paper.
"Minion, I'm a villain without a hero," He took the donut from Minion's hand and started to "write" with it on the sheet.
"A Yin with no Yang, A torch with nopony to light it. In other words, I have no purpose!" He then threw the paper and donut away.
"Now, ask me how I'm gonna do it. C'mon! Ask!" Megamind said, excitingly.
Minion sighed.
"How are you gonna do it?"
Megamind grabbed the box of donuts and threw the pastries into the air, laughing.
"I'm going to give somepony, I don't know who yet, Metro Man's powers." He then pointed at a picture of Iron Will puttin his hands on the shoulder of a shaded pony with a question mark on it.
"We're going to train that somepony to become Ponyveele's new hero! Over here!" Megamind said, moving to the poster showing the same shaded pony figure engaging in battle with a giant robot.
"And then finally, I'm going to fight that hero in an epic battle of good and evil. We'll put everything back, the way it was, when the world was perfect and rosy."
Megamind then brought Minion to a table with a familiar white sheet stretched across it.
"Behold, Minion, Metro Man's cape! Look closely!" He said, bringing the microscope close to the fabric.
"Tell me what you see!"
Small white shapes appeared under the glass.
"Dandruff?" Minion replied.
Megamind chortled.
"Yes! It's his DNA!" He then began moving to his extraction device.
"From this we'll extract the source, of Metro Man's awesome power!"
The device sparked, as it was extracting the raw power from the sample. Megamind was there, watching with his goggles and hairnet. Not that he would HAVE any hair.
"Sir, I think this is a bad idea." Minion said, worriedly.
"Yes!" Megamind replied.
"This is a very wickedly bad idea for the greater good of bad!"
"But I'm saying this is a kind of bad that......Okay, I think it's good from your "bad" perception, but from a "good" perception....it's just plain bad!"
"Oh, you don't know what's good for bad!" Megamind said, as the machine finished the extraction process. A small gold bar was left on the base. Megamind grabbed it with the tongs and brought it with him.
He then placed it into a blaster, and loaded it to "Infuse"
"Now, we just need to find the perfect candidate. One who puts the safety of others, above his own."
"Don't we already have the Elements of Harmony though?"
Before Megamind could respond, a short jingle was heard from behind Megamind.
"What on Equestria is that?" He asked, looking around him.
"It seems to be emanating from there, sir." Minion said, pointing to his back pocket. He pulled it out, and opened it.
On the screen it said Twilight's name.
He answered it and brought it close to his mouth.
"Ollo?"
"It's "hello"." Minion corrected.
"Oh. Hello?" he turned back to Minion. "Like that?" he whispered.
Minion gave a thumbs up, as Megamind put the phone up to his ear.
~~~~~
"Bernard. It's Twilight."
Megamind turned back to Minion.
"It's Twilight!" he whispered loudly.
Minion gave a single nod.
"I just want to thank you for inspiring me the other day!"
"Oh. You inspired me too." Megamind said, pushing Minion away from the phone.
"Great! It's time we stood up to Megamind and show him he can't push us around."
"Oh! Oh, really?" Megamind turned back to Minion. "She's so cute!" he whispered soflty.
"I'm already hot on his trail!"
"Uh-huh." Megamind said, amused. "And what gives you that idea?"
"I just found his secret hide-out!"
Megamind turned to the monitors and saw Twilight, holding her phone with a magical aura, with Spike, Garret, the rest of the Elements (excluding Rainbow, of course) outside the building.
"HOW DID SHE FIND MY HIDE-OUT?!" Megamind shrieked. He then returned to his phone.
"Uh, how did you find his hideout?"
Twilight laughed.
"This is the only building in Ponyville with a fake observatory on the roof!"
Megamind simply just stared in shock.
"Okay! There's no way she'll find the secret entrance." He said, trying to relieve himself.
Twilight gasped.
"There's a doormat here that says "Secret Entrance"!" It was then that she and and the rest of the Elements entered the portal on the wall. Garret didn't notice their disappearance, due to their fact that he was too busy conversing with Spike.
Minion started to creep away from Megamind.
"MINION!!!" Megamind shouted in rage. 
"I keep forgetting where that is!" Minion said, giving a sheepish smile.
"They'll discover all our secrets!!!" He then pushed Minion into an empty locker.
"You infernal invention of science!"
"What?" Twilight asked from the phone.
"Ummm, nothing! I was just yelling at my..... Mother's Urn. I'll be right there!" Megamind hung up, now panicking.
~~~~~
Garret and Spike turned to see the mares gone.
"Twilight?" Garret called.
No answer.
"Aw great, not again!" He whined.
~~~~~~
