Chapter One: Decisions

"Once again, The Incredibles have foiled the plans of an unknown super crime lord working in the dark of-" Ben switched off the television set. He was bored of listening to these Super-hero victories. He wanted some of the action, to be noticed for once, instead of people picking on him and treating him like some kind virus. If only he could be like Mr Incredible, and use his powers in secret. But he couldn't. I would be too risky. And if he did show his powers off, the Incredibles would never accept him. His Forcefield ability was already taken by Mr and Mrs Incredibles' daughter. But also, what of his ability to use gravity and turn it into a weapon? He had to make a choice. Walking to his front door, he unlocked the gate and walked into his Uncle's house.

"Uncle Arthur, I'm home." Ben closed the door and entered the kitchen. His Uncle was wearing an apron and cooking something on the stove. Ben had lived with his Uncle since he was a baby, and his Uncle was the only relative he knew.

"Hey Ben, I'm just about to prepare dinner, sit down!" Arthur beamed and continued cooking. Dinner went by fast and after his stomach was full, he decided to head up to his room to think.

"If I was to be a superhero, I'd definitely be noticed… but I'll also have to take a lot of responsibility…" he thought. "I don't know what to do…"

The following week passed quickly. Ben went to school, and came back from school. He did he homework, and in that time, he hadn't thought further about becoming a super. He hadn't had much practice in using his powers. The most he had done was deflect a baseball that his Uncle Arthur had thrown at him at the park when he was younger. He was lucky no one saw.

One Friday afternoon, the school bully, the biggest of the mall, Sheng, approached Ben.

"Hey, punk." he smirked.

"Get lost Sheng, I'm not in the mood." Ben sighed, and pushed Sheng out of is way.

"Did you just touch me?" Sheng growled. "You put your ungrateful hands on my body?"

"Have a cry." Ben said coldly. Sheng grabbed Ben's shoulder and swung him around.

"You, me, Centre Park, after school." he whispered. "And you better be there." he shoved past Ben and walked off.

"Alright Sheng." Ben thought. "I'll see you there."

Ben dumped his bag back at his uncle's house and told Uncle Arthur that he would be out for a while. Then, he hopped on his bike and rode down his street to the park. Sheng was waiting for him.

"What do you want Sheng!" Ben shouted, tightening his fists.

"I've come to put you in your place, tough guy!" Sheng roared in reply.

"So what are you waiting for?!" Sheng didn't need an invitation. He ran toward Ben at full speed, his fist curling into a round ball, ready to strike…

A rumble shook the ground before Sheng could reach his target. Digging out from the ground was a large mechanical robot. Piloting it was a one of those Omnidroids that the Incredibles destroyed a year ago, but it was smaller, about the size of a Supermarket. It looked like their someone had sent it to destroy. The Guardian walked toward the nearest building and drove a sharp tentacle arm straight into the building's roof.

"What the-?" the Omnidroid then noticed the two boys watching, and couldn't avoid any witnesses, so decided to attack them instead.

"Holy cow!" Ben jumped out of the way just as a mechanical arm slammed into the earth beside him, destroying his bike in the process. "My Bike!" the machine then aimed its rapid laser guns at him and fired. Ben desperately rolled out of harm's way and found shelter behind the park's playground slide. The Guardian spotted Sheng escaping and charged after him.

"Damn it!" Ben muttered. He had to do something and quick. Sheng was going to die…

The robot used its arm to grasp the nearest rock and threw it straight for its target… Ben dived between Sheng and the rock and activated a powerful blue forcefield. The field repelled the rock and rebounded it back to its sender. The rock broke on impact, but didn't seem to do any damage to the droid. The Omnidroid raised its third tentacle and struck Ben's forcefield repeatedly, until he collapsed in exhaustion. Panting, he squinted and saw a robotic arm rise above his head once again, and drop straight for him. He closed his eyes, ready to feel the pain he was about to be given… but it didn't come, only the sound of a bonging noise above his head. He opened his eyes and saw a young, black-haired girl standing above him, with a purple forcefield defending them both.

"The… Incredibles?" Ben looked around him. Mrs Incredible had arrived and stretched herself around the robot's round body, immobilizing the four arms it had. Mr Incredible then came running up, and tore off one of the arms, and threw it aside.

"Violet! Help me out!" Mr Incredible shouted. The girl that had saved Ben's life ran forward, created a barrier in front of Mr Incredible, just as the Omnidroid unleashed its rapid laser guns. The droid managed to grab the stretchy Mrs Incredible and threw her sky-high. She landed a fair way away from the battle, unconscious.

"Helen!" Mr Incredible yelled. He ran for his fallen wife, but the Omnidroid grabbed him tightly in one of its powerful arms and threw him into the playground, and he landed a few feet away from Mrs Incredible.

"Oh no…" Ben whispered. He ran across the park, just as a car crashed into the large water fountain in the middle of the courtyard. He reached Mrs Incredible and tried to wake her.

"Mrs Incredible? Can you hear me?" he breathed. "Wake up, please wake up…" he then crawled over to Mr Incredible and tried to shake him awake.

"Dad!" the girl shouted. She was leaning over her injured brother, with a forcefield defending them.

"Mr Incredible, your daughter… Violet, she needs your help!" Ben said urgently. "You gotta wake up…" he glanced over to Violet, who was doubled over her brother.

"Dash…" he heard her shout. "wake up! Hurry!" her forcefield was getting weaker, Ben could tell. She couldn't hold it any longer… The Omnidroid broke through Violet's forcefield and picked up she and her brother, and slammed them into a brick wall. Violet and Dash crumpled to the floor beside Mr and Mrs Incredible.

"C'mon guys, wake up!" Ben shouted. "Wake up!" the Omnidroid was edging closer, its laser gun fixed straight at Ben and the Incredibles… Ben knew what he had to do. The guns blazed and Ben summoned a forcefield around him and the Incredibles, shielding them. He was using all the power he could gather and concentrating it on the forcefield. The droid stopped shooting and starting to pound the forcefield, attempting to break through like it did to Violet's. It raised its claw to strike, but Ben saw his opportunity and used the wind around them to create a force so powerful it threw the Omnidroid all the way across the park. It landed on top of the water fountain and exploded.

"Kid… how did you do that?" Mr Incredible asked. He was just getting to his feet.

"You… you saw me?" Ben asked.

"Well, yeah…" Mr Incredible said.

"Bob?" Mrs Incredible said, looking around.

"I'm here, Helen," he said, helping her to her feet. Violet and Dash were waking too.

"So, do you have a name?" Bob asked.

"Ben…"

"Well, I don't know it you realise this, but you have powers, and that kinda makes you a super." Bob said.

"I know… and I don't know if I should become one… I mean…"

"Hey, kid. We need all the supers we can get. All the supers left is Frozone and us, and that might not be enough if something big happens." Bob said.

"This young man has super powers?" Helen asked.

"I saw him use a forcefield to defend us from that robot," Bob explained. "and then he used some sort of invisible force to throw the robot into the water fountain."

"Where do you live Ben?" Bob asked.

"Down the street." he replied. "With my uncle Arthur."

"We'll take you home." Bob said.

That night, after the Incredibles had taken Ben safely home, and at eight o'clock he got himself ready for bed. It had been a tiring day for him. Arthur was already sleeping, and the night was darkening.

He climbed into his bunk and pulled the sheets over his body, and closed his sleepy eyes…

The house shook. The windows were rattling when Ben awoke suddenly. He heard a distant hum coming from the road down the street, and it was coming closer. He peeked out his window and saw two flashing lights hurtle straight for his house. He dove under his bed as two super-fast flying pods took his whole roof off. Uncle Arthur was calling his name from his room.

"Ben! Where are you?!"

"Uncle Arthur, I'm in here!" Uncle Arthur made his way through the rubble and saw Ben hiding under his bed.

"Are you ok?" he asked. "What are those things?!"

"I don't know!" he replied over the loud hum of the pod's engines. It soon died out and Arthur and Ben emerged from what was left of the bed. They searched the sky and saw the two pods descending toward them. Their laser guns began to fire…

"Lookout!" Arthur cried, and threw Ben aside, just as the lasers struck the bed… and Uncle Arthur.

"Uncle Arthur!" Ben shouted. "No!" Ben watched as his Uncle dropped to his knees, and to the ground. The pods turned around and started to shoot again. Ben created a forcefield bubble around himself and ran toward the flying pods. The pods collided with his forcefield and bounced off, hitting the blackened road and exploding.

Half an hour later, the police had arrived along with an Ambulance. They reported Ben's uncle to be… gone. The police insisted in taking Ben to the station, but he refused. He wanted to be alone. He took off down the dark road.

Ben didn't know how long he had been running for, so he came to a stop to catch his breath. He didn't know where he was, but he saw that he was in another neighbourhood. He started walking and crashed into someone.

"Whoa, careful now," it was a girl's voice.

"Sorry, I-" Ben looked at the girl's smiling face. "Violet?"

"Ben? You're that boy that helped us out this afternoon aren't you?" she said.

"Yeah…"

"What's the matter?" she asked. "Why are you out here in this place anyway?"

"My… my uncle was killed just before…" he said, trying to fight back tears.

"What?" Violet asked, sounding stunned. "By who?"

"Two… two guys flying pods. They had razor sharp propellers around the pods." Ben replied. "They shot him."

"Let's go back to my place, we'll sort this out there." Violet patted Ben on the back and walked him back to their house. "I'm Violet Parr, by the way."

"Ben… just Ben." Violet smiled. She didn't want to ask him anymore questions, she knew he had been through too much already. But she thought about what he said. Flying pods? She had seen them before, on Nomanisan Island, a year ago, when they were rescuing their dad from Syndrome. But… Syndrome was defeated, and who else did she know that had Velocipod? She glanced at Ben. He was looking at the ground, obviously thinking what was to happen to him. They walked up the pavement to the Parr's house and Violet showed Ben in. He was going to tell them everything.
