Stay With Me

a new foe

"Y-y/n? I thought I had you killed!"

You got up, coughing harshly. You got up regardless, legs trembling.

"Ah, I see, you aren't dead but you are weak!" He laughed and came striding over. "All i have to do is kill you then i can finally take over Metro City!"

Your eyes shot up in fear and as he was to punch you, you rolled away, standing up. You weren't sure what to do as he drew closer, a devilish look on his face. You, stupidly, punched him on the face which obviously didn't do much except boost his ego.

"Y/n!" Megamind yelled, scrambling to get up. It didnt take much for the redhead to nab you, grabbing you by your arm.

You blinked away tears as you felt his fingers dig into your skin, agony coursing through your veins as you felt the muscles in your arm squish to thin underneath his hand. "Let go!" You screamed, but pulling away only made the pain worse. You look up to see the redhead bore holes in your eyes, his pupils having a piercing look which only made your body fuel in fear as you trembled. "Stop, please!" You screamed.

You heard a loud smack, skull cracking against metal and the pain on your hand release as the man fell over. You grabbed your severely bruised arm and clung it to your body, looking at the man in disbelief. Looking up you see a bionic gorilla man with a fish head, having appeared from nowhere it seemed, wielding a bat.

"Goodness, are you alright?" The strange newcomer had said, placing the bat aside and stepping over the unconscious attacker. You, unsure what to do and tired from the whole ordeal, dropped to your knees and felt your body heave into slumber.

"...on earth are you doing? Bringing them here. They are no match for our world!"

"You don't understand metro man, this was the only way!"

"They look dead! And that's not even including their wounds. What if Hal escapes again? I'm not sure my bunker will keep him."

"Don't worry, Minion has been working on a weapon to rid his powers for all, to weaken him enough to vanquish him for all of time!"

You finally sit up from a bed, rubbing your eyes with one hand, realizing your other hand was in a cast of sorts. Megamind was talking to ... Someone who had looked a lot like your professor from your college. "Professor Metro? What are you doing here?" You spoke soft.

Cal looked over to you and looked worried. "Look at them Megamind. This is no place for them. You need to take them back. We will figure out a cure ourselves."

Looking around the room, it looked like a makeshift infirmary. You saw the monkey fish man from earlier tending to your friend. They looked beaten and bruised, and you gasped from such a sight. Anger flourished in you and you got up, raising a fist to Megamind. "You MONSTER!" You screamed. You were held back by the man who looked like your professor, but you continued to claw and grab at megamind, who had stepped back for his own protection. "Why didn't you tell us about who was over here! Look at me, look at (f/n)! We could have died! What is wrong with you!" You bite your beholders hand to no avail of him releasing you, and instead kick at megamind. "I knew we shouldn't have trusted you!"

The blue man looked guilty, very guilty, and rubbed his arm looking down. " i know, and I'm sorry. But i knew telling you wouldn't make you guys join. I need you two and your help to create a cure. There's no other way-"

He felt a wet spot on his cheek. You spit on him. "You SELFISH PRICK!" You went to yell more but your beholder readjusted you, squishing your arm and you scream in pain, only to then be dropped. The monkey man, known now as Minion, whom was called over my Megamind, rushes over to help you back into a bed beside (f/n). You still felt anger bubble into you which turned into tears as you held your unconscious friends hand. "I promise you I'll get you out of here.

It had taken many trials and even more errors for you to finally help Megamind. Your friend had been unconscious for most of the days you'd been together, only awake long enough to begin a formula to then crash into weakened slumber, leaving you and Megamind to attempt to solve it on your own.

You stood, holding a marker and making small calculations on the giant board in megaminds hidden bunker as he paced back and forth mumbling to himself, supposedly also trying to help find a cure.

You throw the pen down on frustration. This math was far too advanced by your knowledge and by the looks of it, it was the same for Megamind. "I give up, i can't do this. I have no clue how (f/n) even figured this out!"

"But we can't stop now, i feel we are so very close to finding a cure!"

"How many days more do we need to be close before we succumb to our inevitable doom? That redhead man could come back, the black of the cube could continue growing, (f/n) could never wake up again!" You shiver and feel a growing emptiness pit inside you.

"What?"

You look at megamind with a questioning look. "I said-"

"No no i know what you said. The cube, where is it!" He scrambles along the lab, throwing things carelessly behind him before grabbing the cube. It had definitely looked the same, the blue vibrance to a dulling black, but the black veins had grown. It had almost met halfway through the cube. "Its slowly consuming her, the ick. I don't know how much time we will have left. Im.. Scared, to live in a world without her. I don't know what to do."
