Your eyes shot open and you gasped as you abruptly sat up, it was a bit hard for you to believe that you were no longer dehydrated. It was a small and almost non-existent feeling, but your body felt as if it had been paralyzed for years and was suddenly brought back to life.

You looked around and noticed you were once again in the back of the invisible car, and when you looked to the front seats there were a pair of familiar faces watching you.

A relieved Minion, and a very skeptical Megamind. Minion was at the wheel while Megamind was in the shotgun seat.

"Thank you, sir." Minion said to Megamind after a moment.

Megamind said nothing but continued to silently stare at you. His emerald green eyes seemingly bore into yours even though your helmet still hid your face from him, making you nervous. The tension between the two of you was so strong you could cut it with a knife, but thankfully Minion spoke up again and took Megamind's attention away from you.

"Sir, the van is here."

You looked to see a familiar News van just a few feet away. Where are you at?

You looked around and noticed you were parked outside of a pretty trashy looking hotel, then looked back to the van. As it drove off, it revealed Hal with a very swollen and red nose. He had a tissue stuffed in one nostril and was holding them both shut with one hand as he kept his head tilted up, not really looking where he was walking.

"Who is this man we've infused with godlike power?" Megamind asked with mischievous curiosity, putting his hands together.

"What does he mean by that?" You thought.

Hal eventually went rolling across the front of the car, and groaned loudly in pain once he fell on the concrete. You tried to not to laugh at his misery, keyword 'tried', since you couldn't help but let a few snickers escape you.

Minion began typing on a small computer's keyboard, doing a search about Hal. Megamind seemed very intrigued by Hal for whatever reason, he pressed his face and hands against the glass of the window, watching him.

"Well, sir, his name's Hal Stewart. He's twenty-eight years old. No criminal record. Actually no records at all. Apparently this man hasn't accomplished anything." Minion seemed surprised at how bland and worthless Hal seemed to be.

"Not yet, Minion. Not... yet." Megamind whispered, still keeping his face against the window.

Minion pulled out the large gun from before, but the glowing substance that was inside was now missing.

"So, I will just go ahead and diffuse him since this is clearly, a mistake." Minion set the gun from 'infuse' to 'defuse', a red light replacing the green that was once there.

Megamind suddenly ripped the gun from his hands, holding it defensively.

"No, Minion! There's something much more powerful at work here." He tossed the gun back, not looking where it went. It roughly slammed against your torso, making you reel back then slightly double-over in pain as you held it. Minion looked at you shocked and concerned, but Megamind didn't seem to care.

"This is no mistake. It's destiny!" Megamind finished.

Megamind got out of the car and told Minion to follow him, but when you attempted to open the door and get out yourself, Megamind pushed the door back shut.

"You, will stay in the car like a good child and wait." He ordered with a stern expression, completely switching up from his once childish demeanor. You gulped slightly and nodded, not wanting to make him mad.

Once the two entered the hotel, you were practically nuzzled and snuggled to death by a certain brain-bot that flew off from where Megamind was sitting.

"Neo! You're okay!" You exclaimed in relief, tossing the gun to the floor and hugging the bot tightly in your arms. Neo barked happily, nuzzling himself against you even more if that was possible.

Mere minutes went by before out of nowhere a large crash and numerous car alarms went off continuously.

"What the?" You asked aloud.

Neo flew over while you climbed to the front of the car, trying to see what had happened. What you saw had you in disbelief.

"WHAT THE??"

A much more tall and muscular Hal Stewart was dancing and skipping around wearing a car as if it were a shirt with his arms through the back seat windows, there was over 10 cars scattered around, most upside down. 

"I'm gonna be a hero! I'm gonna be a hero!!" Hal cheered.

What on Earth did Megamind do?!

You couldn't believe what you were seeing, you were so shocked you got out of the car and ran over just to get a better look, Neo following behind.

"AH! It's the Megapainter!" You looked over and saw a couple gaping at you in fear, then running off.

You almost immediately hid behind a nearby truck which thankfully hadn't been knocked over, not really wanting Hal to notice you since, well, he could actually do something about you now if he wanted.

After a moment Neo picked you up into his metal arms and lifted you off the ground, carrying you away from the scene. "Whoa! Neo's strong!... Or maybe I'm just really light." You thought.


Meanwhile back at the hotel, Megamind himself wondered just what exactly that couple meant by: 'Megapainter'.
