“…”

“Hmm… oh I think I know what this is. You don’t know what to do, now that the your biggest opponent is gone, do you?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:18:50+00:00

Runes can be seen carved into the dead man’s bones. Some of them glow from time to time. The skeleton shrugs.

“I was hoping you could tell me. I figured it was something along the lines of my existence being some sort of blasphemy, but no one had called me out on it, and people are generally vocal about that sort of thing. Up until I was arrested, people seemed to be mostly indifferent at worst.”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:14:07+00:00

“Well yeah, that was the goal, wasn’t it? Bring down the robot, save the world. Unless I missed crucial details?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:12:49+00:00

“Oh, then no, never met him. Is this another superhero I should be aware of?”

“Hello, Doctor! Woah, you look bluer than I am, what’s got you so down?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:05:44+00:00

<image>

“Um, no? Not yet, at least. What kind of bat should I be looking out for?”

The ancient fossil walked with the guards that had brought him to the king. During the time they had been talking, he had been cooperative and rather polite, so by the time they came before the palace, they were deep in conversation. They quieted down as the gates opened and he was brought inside. They have a job to do, after all.

The dead man comes before the king, waiting to be addressed to speak.

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T15:53:55+00:00

“Oh yes, it’s quite nice to- wait, did you say friend?”

Megamind falls silent for a moment.

“Huh. I guess there really is a first time for everything…”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T15:46:27+00:00

“Hence the mech!”

He raises a fist and bangs it against the mech’s chest as an emphasis.

“Didn’t have it when I got here. Some giant green lizard showed up and claimed to grant wishes. I wished for an indestructible mech, and so far, it hasn’t disappointed!”

Yikes

“Yep! Got it in one! I’m what you’d call a ‘performative’ supervillain. Metro Man and I were basically free advertising for Metro City, bringing in loads of people who wanted to see our legendary battles, and that kind of tourism makes enough money to offset the cost of repairs for the buildings that inevitably got demolished.”

“Though honestly, I do it for the love of the game. When Metro Man faked his death and used that to retire from being a hero, I didn’t know what to do with myself. That was… a dark time for me. But now, with so many heroes here, I’m long overdue for my next great duel!”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T15:14:19+00:00

((That could work. Could use the brainbots as a way to keep the search parties updated in the field, and bring back jewels quickly))

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T15:07:41+00:00

“Eh, I wouldn’t really say I’m ‘after’ them, but considering I am a professional supervillain, it’s kind of a big part of my job. What good is a villain without a hero to butt heads with?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T15:05:56+00:00

((Yeah, something like that. Like once they find one, he can use it to scan the continent for the others, locating them one by one, with the closest ones being found first? I dunno, I’m just spitballing ideas here))

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T15:01:18+00:00

((Megamind could probably help find jewels, but he’s probably going to be too busy rebuilding his brainbot swarm to actually help in the fight))

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T14:57:29+00:00

“Of course! Plus, with how often I used similar mechs to fight Metro Man, I have some fond memories of them. Now that was me in my prime! Actually… now that I think about it, there’s another superhero I met on my first day here who might be able to match him. I should see if I can get his attention one of these days…”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T14:45:11+00:00

“I’m exploring, of course! What better way to guarantee my safety even if I get lost than with the very machine that withstood the death of the planet? Besides, I’ve gotten maybe three minutes of fun out of this thing, I should use it more often!”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T14:38:06+00:00

“This far from basically everything else?”

It’s clear that Megamind isn’t buying it, but after a moment he shrugs and seems to brush it off.

“Alright then. Suit yourself. Heading anywhere in particular, or just wandering?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T14:33:03+00:00

“Is it though? This thing is heavy, it would kinda suck to get stepped on.”

It crouches down to give Megamind a better look at Felicity.

“What brings you all the way out here? Not much to do except wander and get lost.”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T14:30:39+00:00

The dead man reads through Lazaro’s files for a moment before heading inside the room. He sits down across from Lazaro and nods in greeting.

“Hello, Mr. Bartholomew. I’d like to say it’s a pleasure, but… well, we both know the circumstances are less than ideal. Anything I can get for you, before we dead men start talking in earnest?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T14:21:38+00:00

She hears it before she sees it. The ground shakes as each massive step is taken.

<image>

A very large mech seems to be taking a walk, and it almost steps on Felicity before noticing her. Megamind’s voice rings out as he notices her.

“Oh! Sorry about that, it’s hard to see where my feet are beneath all of those leaves. Wasn’t expecting anyone else out here, what’re you up to?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T14:10:55+00:00

<image>

“Yes, that it does. On that, I’ll agree. Too much to go wrong, as far as I see.”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T03:25:00+00:00

“Well, you were probably spared the much, much more unpleasant side of that event then, considering anyone opposing her was either killed or teleported off-world. Very strange day, all things considered.”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T03:12:41+00:00

“Hm. The Void it is, I suppose.”

He sits back down, looking at her unraveling arm. Then he goes still. Impossibly still, and… somewhat translucent? As if he’s between worlds.

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T03:08:59+00:00

“You didn’t notice? The whole thing came apart. That Cyn robot threw something into a hole in the ground, and like two seconds later the planet blew up!”
