Author's Note: Hey everybody, FlaminDead here with an Incredibles fanfic! Man, I just watched Incredibles 2 just a day after its release and it was amazing. Still cannot believe that it took them 14 years to make a sequel, so now we will have to wait another 14 years for the third movie to complete the trilogy lol. If you haven't already, watch the movie, it was one of my favourites this year. Anyways, back to the fanfic, this takes place immediately after the end of Incredibles 2 and I just want to say, it does include some unused or unfamiliar characters. As mentioned in the summary/title of the fanfic, we have Xerek. Xerek was actually supposed to be the main villain for the first movie but was later scrapped, due to the producers liking Syndrome more. However, they did use Xerek in a comic book, but I found myself intrigued by his backstory and character, so he will be the main antagonist for this fanfic. Also, I included a character by the name of Cascade. If you search up "Lou Romano Incredibles Concept Art" on Google, the first link is his blog, and there were artworks of early villains, and I happened to come across the Aquaman-like villain. Her inclusion will be important, as you guys will read in this chapter and many more.
Also, I am extremely sorry for reposting this! I tried updating the chapter numerous times earlier but the function kept failing on me but worked on my other fanfics, so I panicked, lmao!
Alright, FlaminDead, enough talking, let's let the readers actually do what they were supposed to do...read the fanfic, not the author's note! Hope you guys enjoy!
The Incredibles just dropped off Tony Rydinger at the movies, speeding to catch the criminals shooting at the cops.
"What a day!" Mr. Incredible says, excited that heroes are legal again. "Violet, when does this movie start?"
"6:30 sharp," Violet exclaims. It is now 6:25 PM, with the sun dawning, bright pink sky in view.
"Alright, hold tight, everyone!" The strongman yells out, stepping on the gas, nearing up to the car. Whatever the reason may be for the police chase had to be known later, because it was just the matter of stopping these guys and getting to the movie pronto. Mr. Incredible drove the car to the side of the assailants as they started to target the Parr's family car. Everyone except Elastigirl and and Mr. Incredible ducked down with Dash and Violet protecting Jack-Jack from the shattering glass. Dash sticks his head up for a quick second, but his mother stretches her arm out to put his head down.
"Stay down!" she says. Mr. Incredible rams the car onto the side as the flexible woman reaches out and knocks out the gunner.
"No, no," yells out the driver, "not me too! Let me free! I'm as pure as snow, I just had to drive them wherever they wanted me to."
"Pull over then, kiddo." Mr. Incredible yells out. The assailant pulls over, and Bob follows suit. "Watch this," Bob says to his family with a wink. They all snicker and look at what he would do to the driver. "I'll let you go, buddy!" he says to the kid driver. "You are just a young guy who was pressured to drive those fools, right? So how about I let you free, no scratches, no record, nothing at all?"
The driver looks up in confusion but was sighing out of relief. "Wait, are you for real?" he asks. Bob starts to laugh so hard which the kid did not know what to think of. Bob stops laughing and simply says "Not really", punching the kid right on the temple. The family were laughing in the background due to how the assailant's driver reacted to such news.
"BOB!" Helen yells out. "IT'S 6:28 PM! LET'S GET GOING NOW!" Bob gives the attacker and his driver to the police to handle, as the cops give a profound smile, perhaps a gesture of thanking him for capturing those guys. It's been a long time since Bob last seen those faces on the police. He runs over to the car, starts up the engine, and starts to drive at high speed.
"So how was that, guys?" Helen asks the family. "Our first crime resolved since superheroes were legal again."
"Awesome!" Dash responds.
"Ya ya ya, thbpbpthpt!" Jack-Jack says out loud. The family laughs out of his cuteness, as they finally reach the movie theatre. They all remove their costumes to wear their day-to-day clothes, and right after, Violet runs out of the car with Dash to watch the movie with Rydinger.
"Have a great time, kids!" Helen yells out to her children. "Thanks, mom!" Dash and Violet both say at the same time. They join Tony before he entered inside to watch the movie. It just leaves Bob, Helen, and Jack-Jack in the car. The superbaby is already fast asleep, which technically leaves the happily married couple to discuss.
"It was just so crazy," Helen tells her husband. "I lead a mission and stop a villain. But obviously, I had help." She looks at Bob and smiles as she says this, alluding to how he, Lucius, and the kids helped defeat Evelyn Deavor. She stretched her neck out to kiss him on the cheek.
"That girl was something though," Bob says out of curiosity. "What was that thing she put on us? Hypnotic goggles?"
"Well, yeah," Helen exclaims. "She was extremely intelligent and deceiving though. I had fully trusted her, and she made the greatest technology. Heck, I'll give it to her. What she did was extraordinary!"
"I can definitely agree with that," Bob states, even though he hasn't seen much of Evelyn's work. "But I am so proud of you, honey. You saved the world. And I even saw the media outlets, people LOVE you! Even the little ones look up to you." Bob was fully invested in support of his wife's performance as a hero, impressed at her capabilities. They both passionately kiss on the lips, but it was much longer than they would usually do in public, a mere 15 seconds. "So, how about we take this home, where we can get much closer to the view?" Bob asks her, with a sly look.
"View?" Helen asks in sarcastic curiosity. She snickers as she says "What view?"
Bob laughs from her sense of humor and tries to play along. "Why, the view of the city, of course!" he says. "There's a tower, you do know that, right? You probably have missed it while you were on your mission." Helen giggles, seeing why she married that man. His sense of humor, sensibility, pride, honour, and his undying love. She always looks at him like it was the day they married. He was still so dear for her, even if they got in many, many fights and did not look at some things the same, but at the end of the day, she was glad to be considered 'Mrs. Incredible'.
"Oh really?" she wonders. "Well, how about we skip the movies and take a tour of the city?" She says that close to his ear with a smirk, eyeing Bob and rubbing his shoulder. "Oh, I'll be glad to do that!" Bob glees in excitement, revving up the engine and drives off with a huge grin in his face. They both laugh as they drive away from the theatre.
Meanwhile, in a small prison isolated from the commotion and the city where the ship has crash landed, it was dark, but not to the extent of lack of visibility. There was a guard with 5 cells in the perimeter, and 5 men and women in each cell that sleep on the hard, cold beds with dirty, clogged toilets. A slender woman walks in with navy blue heels, attractive long legs, and a black velvet below-the-knees skirt that accented her look. She wore a black tight shirt that matched her bottom outfit. Her naturally long, platinum blonde hair was let out loose, and her green eyes always had others endeavouring for her love. She was an embodiment of sex, considered by those who has seen her then and now. She walks over to the guard, who finds himself attracted and pleased by her. She touches him, sliding her fingers up and down his muscular chest, and grabs him by the collar of his uniform, allowing him to smell her mesmerizing scent. She blows a kiss to him, and pays him a certain amount of bail money to free one of the imprisoners. She walks over, looking at her individual. She was looking for a short, bald, 200 year-old man with a significant amount of aging features; but his looks should not confuse anyone, as he is one of the smartest men in the world. He has developed a project that can extend life expectancies, but in reality, he wants to take everything down with him when he dies. The woman's heels click as she walks towards the last gate, meeting this man.
"Good evening, Mr. Xerek," the woman starts off. "I suppose you are having a splendid evening."
"Indeed," he says "I am having a wonderful time. I heard about the Screenslaver."
"Oh, yes," she replies "but the Incredibles are back in town, as you may already know." With the news, Xerek looks in disgust, especially since he has had a previous relationship with Helen.
"The Parrs," he says, sticking his tongue out. "Can't believe that foolish woman Helen. She should be with me, not that piece of garbage. Get me out of here!" He demands the woman to get the keys from the guard, who is still staring at her. She leans to him to keep him more distracted so that she can grab the keys right from his shirt pocket. She walks back to the cell to unlock the door, freeing Xerek.
"Thank you, woman." he says with a firm handshake. "So, everyone in the world is still afraid of me?"
"Surprisingly, yes," the woman said with confidence. "They all know what you are capable of doing!"
"I see," the short man responds. "Well, for the past 10 years, I was stuck in this stinkhole, but I have been plotting. You see, I have money, power, and I consider myself a major influence. I have yet to conquer the world and win her heart. Together, her and I can be a 'superteam'." With that comment, the woman frowns, obviously having some sort of attraction to him. He continues "But in order for me to conquer the world, I shall destroy all city hopes. What I mean by that is I must kill all supers. But to win Helen's heart, I should take the one thing she loves the most. The baby."
"Wait, what?" the woman stammers, nervousness in her voice. "Sir, I believe that baby has powers as well. 17 of them, I counted. We shall provoke som-"
"Excellent." he interrupts. "I recall developing a serum that overtakes the soul and mind of a person. That's why The Underminer and Bomb Voyage work for me here." The woman looks over to the first two cells nearest to the guard and sees the insane mime weeping in French and the mole man trying to use his mechanical arms to punch his way through the ground to no success. The woman also witnessed another female and male that looked familiar. The woman walked over to the guard's desk to read the files of the other two prisoners. "Hmm, let's see…" she thinks to herself as she starts to read:
"Cell 03, short, man, glasses, pretty angry. Was imprisoned due to using a firearm to shoot at his boss. Sentenced for 1 year. American. Name: Gilbert Huph.
Cell 04, 6 foot 1, female, dangerous. Stopped by an unknown hero for attempting to overflood the city. Sentenced for 7 year. British. Name: Cassidy Curry. Alias: Cascade."
The woman looks in shock over who she sees and walks to Xerek. "We should get them out as well," the diabolical man claims. "Even that one" as he points towards Gilbert. "I have a plan for him, especially since he has worked with 'Mr. Incredible' but does not know of it." Xerek smiles as she unlocks the door for all the prisoners. "Kind sir, come over here" Xerek politely asking Huph to come to him. "You will be a valuable person in my team, and someone with your intelligence, except that we do have myself and the woman over there with extraordinary skills, could help me. There's a common enemy between you and I. Mr. Incredible!"
Gilbert Huph looks in confusion. "Mr. Incredible?" he asks, laughing at the fact that Xerek was trying to convince that Mr. Incredible was a horrible person. "Why, I love that guy! What can be so bad about him?"
"I've heard about your case. You got injured at Insuricare, and realized who that man who injured was. He had super strength but a government agent wiped your memory. Do you recall an employee named Bob Parr?"
"Oh," Huph said in annoyance. "Yes...Parr was a 'special' case. He could not listen to any of my demands, and told his customers about the company's inner holdings." Xerek looks eye level to the man.
"Ah, so I see that Dicker wiped a part of your memory. An idiot indeed. Well, Huph, I do want to tell you a secret but promise you won't tell." Huph crosses his heart and shakes the hand of Xerek. "Well," Xerek continues, "we are a group of villains, and based on who you are and how intelligent, greedy, corrupt, and callous you are, you can become a villain yourself. You might be wondering, well, why should you trust us? Because Bob Parr is Mr. Incredible."
And with that being said, Gilbert looks in shock, wide-eyed, but was starting to get red, shaking his head violently. Fuming, he said "Oh...Parr, Parr, Parr. He has messed with the wrong guy. Time for him to get what's coming to him: I should hurt him so bad that insurance cannot cover his costs, and that he does not recover from any injury. Count me in." Xerek starts to laugh with evil intentions as the others smile.
"Soon," the Underminer claims, "all will tremble before us!"
"Oui, oui! (Yes, yes!)" Bomb Voyage says with emphasis. "Ensemble, nous serons victorieux! (Together, we shall stand victorious!)"
The Underminer flat out punches the guard so that he doesn't witness their escape. "Superb punch you got there, little man" says Cascade. She wore a skintight black catsuit with holes cut through her left leg. She had a distinguishable mole on the side of her face and a trident was her primary weapon. She was shaped like an hourglass, agile, and had long legs that were used for a competitive advantage. The platinum blonde woman then talks with Xerek secretively.
"There is a hidden room down under," she tells him "It's in Cell 04, so maybe we can get Bomb Voyage to defuse a bomb." Xerek nods and approaches Bomb Voyage.
"Alright, we can get out of here from down under Cell 04. There is a secret room that can make us get out of here. Bomb Voyage, place a bomb to break through the weak concrete."
"Sûr, (Sure,)" the Frenchman said as he walks towards Cell 04. He grabs one of his bombs and sets it on the cold surface, lights up a match, and transfer the fire to the bomb's rope. The fire burns through the rope and ignites the bomb, to which a small explosion is witnessed. The 6 villains look down to see a long way down, a kilometer long blue tunnel if you would say, lit up with white lights. There is a ladder that descending to the secret room, which was their only way to get down, because jumping down would result in a gruesome death. Cascade and the woman take off their heels and throw it down the tunnel. Cascade climbs down first, looking down to ensure that she doesn't misstep. The Underminer follows suit, then Bomb Voyage, and finally, Gilbert Huph.
The woman and Xerek converse before they head down as well. "Thank you," Xerek says with a smug look on his face. "What did you say your name was?"
The woman looks over to him with a smile, saying "Mirage. Pleased to meet you."
Xerek grins, goes on his knee, grabs Mirage's hand and kisses it. "Shall we?" he asks. Mirage nods and heads down the ladder. As she starts to climb down, Xerek hears police sirens approaching the station. He starts to chuckle, amused that the cops are still after him for all those years.
"Oh, this is going to be interesting. Bomb Voyage, throw up your larger explosive and you all should catch me as I am about to jump down."
Bomb Voyage, with great precision and power, throws up a small shaped bomb that was extremely powerful, severely hurting anyone who was 500 metres away from it. Xerek jumps down, flying down in high speeds. He is caught by Bomb Voyage and Cascade, as Huph and the Underminer start digging holes on a wall since there was a strong defensive metal door in front of them. They managed to dig a large hole for everyone to fit in 15 seconds before the bomb explodes. The villainous group walk in the tunnel hole to get to the other side of the metal door. The bomb explodes, the guard flying in air from the explosion. The guard flies and lands at the ocean.
"293," a cop says as he drives up the road to see the isolated jail now in rubble. "We have an explosion at the 293 prison. I repeat, we have an explosion at the 293 prison. We need reinforcements, now." Parking, he runs over to see if any dead bodies or body parts were dismembered from the detonation. He was glad that he had found no one hurt, but did see the guard's body at the ocean, floating.
He says in disbelief "Ah, crap", running over to save the guard before he drowns. He jumps in the water, swims to get him back to shore, and tries to perform CPR, but it was too late. He was filled with an excessive amount of water. The cop uses his walkie-talkie, alerting the cops a sentence that has never been said in the cities: "Guys, contact the supers. Looks like we got ourselves in a major problem…"
