Death Of A Sister
It has been years now since both Jasmine and Megamind started their career of being villains. Jasmine was now 28 years old and she was enjoying the life. However all that was about to change as an unexpected even happened today after kidnapping Roxanne; Jasmine's older sister again.
The dust in the air made it all but impossible for anyone to see anything. A young 28 year old girl coughed tasting the dust in her lungs from the many explosions that had happened in the lab just only a few short moments earlier.
Things hadn't gone according to plan at all, no matter how well thought out the plan seemed.
Megamind had devised another brilliant plan involving explosives, fake kittens, and lasers lots of lasers. It had all seemed perfectly doable on paper but when they had captured Roxanne Ritchi for the five thousandth time, Metro Man had busted in on them. He and Megamind entered their usual brand of banter before push came to shove. Minion avoided the physical confrontations just as he had been doing for years, but hissed when he saw Metro Man an incredibly painful looking punch on his friend. Jasmine was standing off to the side with Minion and winched too seeing this.
Jasmine remembered Megamind pulling out one of his many weapons and of course Metro Man had heroically gotten in-between the blast and Roxanne Ritchi who was tied to a chair as usual. Despite the fact that Megamind hadn't been firing at the woman it had still deflected off a powerful arm, ricocheted off of the man of strength's chest and hit something else entirely.
Then there had been the explosion, but not only one. They were numerous, sending plumes of smoke up towards the skies as fires licked at the electrical circuits that had birthed them.
"Megamind? Minion, guys where are you?" Jasmine called, pushing what used to be a large control panel off of her after putting her force field down. It fell to the ground with a noisy 'clang!' that had kicked up even more dust. Jasmine looks around, trying to see through the thick dust that still hung in the air. Whatever it was that Metro Man had deflected the De-stroy gun setting at had really gone off like a... well a bomb, or maybe it had been one of the many bombs that littered the lair?
Jasmine waved her hand in front of her, trying to make the smoke go away. It hardly worked. Coughing again, the girl walked around what had once been one of the walls of the base and she wondered if the others had survived. However it was when she happened upon some crushed Brain Bots did Jasmine's panic begin to finally grip her.
"GUYS?" he called louder. "GUYS? PLEASE. WHERE ARE YOU I CAN'T SEE YOU." The girl called louder still, waiting to hear anyone answer back through the rubble and the smoke but there came no answer.
She heard Megamind's gasp from across the room and the girl turned to look at her best friend. Jasmine made her way over destroyed robots, crumbled walls and Brain Bots towards here she heard the sound. The smoke and dust was thicker around here, and she was vaguely aware of a fire burning in the corner but it wasn't her main concern. As she got closer she saw the man standing there, but with his back to her. The way she was holding herself she was perfectly fine, probably took cover somewhere, but he seemed to be trembling slightly.
"Megamind?" Jasmine asked quietly, "Are you... are you all right?" she asked concern lacing her voice.
He didn't answer her. Jasmine looked past him and she saw Metro Man kneeling amongst the rubble and for a fleeting second Jasmine thought maybe he was finally hurt. That her best friend/crush had finally found a weakness in all this destruction and was about to land another blow against the hero but then Jasmine saw the red and black material that was on the ground before Metro Man.
The hero, hearing the girl's words, lifted his head and stared at her with wide, horror stricken eyes. Jasmine was confused at first but then she realized just what was going on. On the floor in front of Metro Man, was Roxanne.
A broken, bloodied... and dead Roxanne.
She had to be dead. Jasmine was praying she was dead because her face was a bloodied, horrible mess that made it all impossible to tell it was her in the first place. Her back was twisted in a horribly painful looking position, and bones stuck out through the dress she had always felt so comfortable in.
Jasmine stared, numb, deaf, and blind to everything else around her.
"I... I tried to..." Metro Man's voice was shaking, devoid of the usual pompous way of speaking he had when he was in control of a situation. He sounded shattered, broken, different.
"No." Jasmine said straight away as he pushed past Megamind, uncaring that she had almost pushed him over in her rushing forward. She fell to her knees before the the dead body of her sister, heart beat racing within her body. "No. No. No, no, no, no, no, no!" her voice grew louder and filled with panic with every word leaving her mouth.
What could she do? What could she do? Her sister, her best friend, the only person she trusted with secret she could never tell anyone was laying there no longer moving and what could she do? "Sis, sis come on. Roxy, please. You promised... you promised you would never leave me" she was whimpering now, hands shaking as she reached out to Roxanne but was afraid to touch her. The sparkle in her blue eyes was long gone. They were only blue now, blue and lifeless.
Megamind looks at his best friend and crush sadly. "Jasmine...i'm sorry you know I didn't mean for this to happen" He said softly but was cut off.
Jasmine looks at Megamind tears in her eyes. "No,none of you get a say in this." She said as she got up and left. she couldn't do this anymore she was done being the bad guy.
After that day that was the last time Megamind and Revanger had worked together; after that Jasmine took of Roxanne's job at the news station and was Megamind's new hostage.
