Just thought I'd compile this into a Oneshot, it seemed a little pointless as chapters. I haven't fully edited it though and I'm not exactly proud of this particular piece of writing.

SuperminionXD


"… there's sandwich fillers in the fridge, if we're not back in time start tea without us, and make sure they're in bed by seven…" Auntie Sue franticly told Jay as the Five got ready for their mission, I wasn't really paying that much attention though, I was more interested in the bread and cheese that Daddy was holding.

"Jonny, what are you doing?" Auntie Sue asked having apparently finished her explanation.

"I'm showing Lia how to make a cheese toastie!" he explained, I nodded enthusiastically in agreement.

"Do you have to do it now? We're trying to leave!" she complained.

"Fine! Look I'm stopping!" he showed her, the bread stopped smoking and he handed me the sandwich, "Happy?"

"Thank you Daddy!" I thanked.

"No problem Pearly, now we gotta go save the world!" he exclaimed.

"Actually we're going to investigate seismic activity just outside of town" Auntie Heather pointed out as she walked into the room. "But if it makes you feel better"

"Aww, but that's boring!" he complained, Auntie Heather laughed.

"Not necessarily, we once went to check a warehouse and I ended up in another dimension" She reminded him

"Come on, we're leaving!" Uncle Reed's voice came from the garage.

"Are you sure you'll be ok?" Auntie Sue asked nervously.

"We'll be fine!" Jay assured her, "Won't we guys?"

"Yeah! If da bad guys come we ca' zap'em and zap'em an'en'ey'll ne'ber come again!" Joe shouted in excitement, Auntie Sue looked as if this wasn't quite the answer she had been wanting but left regretfully.

"Ok, so you guys just go find something to do and I'll stay here" he said once they were all gone and he promptly slumped on the sofa and began playing on his phone. We all stood there for a while thinking what to do, then Joe ran up and jumped on the sofa next to Jay.

"Why de birds in da ca'pult?" He asked staring at the small screen.

"Because they're trying to destroy the pigs" Jay snapped.

"Why?" Joe persisted.

"Because the Pigs stole their eggs" Jay explained rather grumpily.

"Why?"

"How should I know?" Jay snapped once more, Lucie and I went to see what it was all about.

"Why are the Pigs green?" Lucie asked, leaning over to see, Jay sighed, accepting his fate

"No idea" he replied, I frowned in thought then giggled.

"Maybe the eggs were rotten and they got sick!" I exclaimed, J smirked.

"Maybe" he replied, "You lot aren't going to leave me alone, are you?"

"Nope!" I smiled cheekily; he sighed and put his hands over his eyes.

"One, Two, Three…" he started counting, Joe's eyes immediately light up, realising what he is doing and running off. Lucie and I quickly catch on and take off out of the room "…Five, Six, Seven…"

We all split off into separate rooms, hearing J's counting through the walls.

"…Ten, Eleven, Twelve…"

I dashed into the bathroom and jumped into the empty bath, pulling the shower curtain across so that it screened me.

"…Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen…"

I pressed myself further back towards the shower, hoping that it would make me less visible.

"…Nineteen, Twenty! Ready or not, here I come!" he shouted at the top of his voice. I froze and tried to breathe as quietly as possible as I heard him search from room to room. The footsteps came up the corridor to the bathroom, and I hadn't heard the noise of anyone else being found. He was going to find me! I pressed myself further back against the shower; unfortunately that was my worst mistake. As my back squashed against the dials, one of them pushed more than the others. The on button. I screamed as the freezing water rained onto me, alerting Jay of my exact position. The bathroom door opened.

"Ha! Serves you right for trying to hide in the shower" Jay mocked, "Now turn that thing off and help me find the others"

I pressed the button once more and the shower slowed to a trickle which slowed to a drip and turned off completely. I stood dripping. I did not like being wet. I glared at J and flicked my wet hand at him causing a spray of droplets to hit him.

"Hey!" he protested.

"No mocking" I stated angrily, my flaring temper causing some of the water to evaporate but still leaving me decidedly damp.

"Ok, backing away" he said, backing away, fire being one of the things he couldn't phase through due to it being not actual stuff, just heat. I climbed out of the bath and followed him down the hall; the next room was mine and Lucie's. I looked under the beds while Jay checked the wardrobe, as Jay stuck his hand in among the clothes there was a sudden gasp and Lucie popped out.

"We found you! We found you!" I sang and the three of us trooped out of the room, now we only had Jo to find. This was actually easier than one would imagine even if he did turn invisible, since all you had to do was walk remotely near him and he would start giggling. We wandered in and out of the rest of the rooms and sure enough the quiet sniggering directed us under a desk in Uncle Reed's lab.

"Joe" Jay stated.

"No 's'not!" the disembodied voice replied from under the desk.

"'tis!" Lucie exclaimed, we laughed at his gullibility.

"Aww!" Joe submitted before his unfortunately completely naked form appeared and got out from under the table. Both Joe and I promptly found some clothes, dry ones for me and his picked up from where he had scattered on the floor in his rush to hide and be invisible. We then decided to watch a film, Joe chose The Incredibles since it was his favourite. Mostly because it was about a superhero family like ours, he always said he wanted to be Dash but I kept pointing out that he should be Violet because she has the same powers, he didn't like that idea since he didn't want to be a girl.

Neither Lucie or I had a corresponding character, Jay didn't either but he said he was way cooler than any cartoon character. We all agreed that Amy was like Jack jack except for the crazy powers at the end and being a girl. We had a small discussion about whether she would actually have powers. We also agreed that Jay was a way better babysitter than Syndrome or the strange girl, he agreed with that one too. We had all sorts of arguments about the film and different things, like whether Uncle Ben was stronger than Mr Incredible or not, the same with Uncle Reed and Elastigirl, and whether invisibility was a girl's power or not, Joe said not!

When the film was done we all decided we were hungry, and it was nearly teatime so we trooped into the kitchen. Jay made us all Jam sandwiches and we sat down to eat them, Amy was lifted into her chair. Jay 'ported to each or our places and deposited a plate of sandwiches in each place, earning several giggles from Joe, and we tucked in.

When we had finished our sandwiches we all looked expectantly at Jay.

"Pudding?" Joe asked hopefully, "Pudding! Pudding! Pudding!"

He began chanting.

"Ok, I'll see what I can do!" Jay relinquished and ported from his chair so he was standing next to the cupboards, he opened the cupboards and began to look inside, "Hmm, let me see, what about… Cookies?"

"Cookies! Cookies!" Joe resumed his chanting.

"Please!" I begged excitedly, even Amy banged her fork on the table. So Jay brought the tin down from its shelf and proceeded to open it.

"Ok, one for me…" he laid a particularly large cookie in his place, "One for Jo, one for Lia, one for Lucie and… oh"

"What's 'oh'" I asked.

"Have Cookie?" Amy spoke two of her very rare words and looked adorably up at Jay.

"There isn't any left!" Jay exclaimed looking forlornly into the wide amber eyes of the child in front of him. "Perhaps we could find you something else?"

"Cookie!" Amy insisted, and with that she dropped her fork deliberately on the floor and pouted.

"Hey! Don't do that!" Jay protested as he bent to pick up the cutlery piece, he placed it back on the table "There we go now…"

He stopped as he noticed something.

"Where'd my Cookie go?" he asked suspiciously, looking from me to Joe to Lucie, each of us showed our hands with only one cookie. Amy laughed happily, but it couldn't have been her, the cookie had been on the opposite corner of the table, way too far for her to reach. But sure enough, in her hands was the cookie in question, now sporting a large bite-mark. Amy laughed again and looked guilty.

"How Amy get Cookie?" Joe asked, bewildered, through a mouthful of cookie.

"Have Cookie!" Amy exclaimed, taking another bite.

"But that was mine!" Jay protested in vain.

"You can have mine?" Lucie offered, holding out her still whole cookie to him.

"That's ok Lucie, you have it" He told her, "I'll find something else"

He had another look in the cupboard before getting out a bowl and helping himself to some Ice cream from the freezer.

"Hey! You can't have ice cream!" I protested.

"Oh yeah? Why not?" he asked lazily while eating his ice cream.

"'Cause we had it for lunch" Lucie explained, "You can't have the same thing twice in one day"

"Who said that?" Jay asked, still not really paying attention.

"Mummy did" Lucie replied matter of factly, J looked a bit guilty.

"But Auntie Heather doesn't do that though, sometimes she even has ice cream for Breakfast!" I pointed out.

"Heather would!" Jay laughed at his sister.

"Why not?" Joe asked, still on the topic of double ice cream.

"It's not healthy" Lucie told him, Amy produced a piece of paper on which was drawn a picture that looked suspiciously like a food group diagram I had seen in a text book at school. Though where she got it from I didn't know since the paper and pencils were on the other side of the kitchen.

After that we settled down and finished our cookies, Amy still looking rather smug. I kept on glancing at the door, expecting everyone to return any minute, straining to hear the sound of the Fantasticar's arrival. I didn't.

"Alright, I think it's time you lot got ready for bed" Jay announced once we were all finished.

"No!" Joe objected, crossing his arms obstinately and pouting at the older boy.

"Yes" Jay corrected causing the younger boy to pout harder.

"No!" he insisted.

"I think it is, now, Go! Go! Go! Go!" the oldest assumed a dominating posture causing the younger to squeal and run from the room. Both Lucie and I followed and Jay, looking rather pleased at his success, helped Amy from her seat. I changed into my yellow Pyjamas as Lucie changed into her navy nightie, then we both went to the other room where Jay and Joe were facing off. Joe was sort of half dressed, he had on his pyjama bottoms but he still wore his normal T-shirt which Jay was trying to wrestle off his squirming form, the pyjama top ready under one arm. Amy meanwhile was sitting cross legged on the floor, simply watching the battle of wills between her brother and surrogate uncle, wearing a pale pink nightie. Lucie and I joined Amy in her watching as Jay had now succeeded in removing the t-shirt and Joe was now running around like a headless chicken with his pyjama top covering his head.

Eventually Jay was able to catch the squealing Joe and put his top on properly, then he turned, with a still squirming Joe under his arm and saw us sitting cross-legged in a row watching.

"You enjoyed that didn't you!" the rather irritated Jay accused, Lucie looked guilty, Amy had on a rather convincing innocent face, which is probably rather easy when you're three, and I giggled.

"It was funny!" I explained, but he was still a little annoyed.

"Bed. Now." He stated.

"B-but…!" Lucie interjected.

"Now" Jay insisted firmly.

"W-what about stories!" Lucie exclaimed nervously.

"Ok" Jay visibly relaxed, "Once upon a time there was a man who was being pestered by four small and annoying children, he was trying to get them to go to bed, but being small and annoying, they wouldn't. So he told them a story and then they all went to sleep and lived happily ever after. The end. Happy now?"

Lucie nodded nervously and Joe had ceased his squirming.

"C'mon Lucie" I said to my friend, yawning tiredly, and we trooped out of the room. We got back to our room and climbed into our beds. I lay there staring into the darkness, why were they not back yet? They said they would be back! It's ok, I'm sure it's ok, they're just busy, I told myself unconvincingly when really in the back of my mind I kept thinking of what horrible things could've happened to them. I tried hard to turn it off and fall asleep but I couldn't so I just lay there with my eyes closed hoping to open them and find it was morning and everyone was ok.

But that didn't happen, what did was that I heard a strange scuffling next to my bed. I opened my eyes to see what it was and screamed. For floating in the darkness, inches from my face, was a face, stretched and distorted. I blinked and it was gone, had I imagined it? I didn't know, but I knew I would never be able to sleep if that 'whatever it was' was creeping around in the darkness. I sat up in bed and flamed on my hand, in the flickering light I saw a forlorn, twisted and broken form in a pink nightdress splayed out across the floor. Yellow hair spilled from the head that seemed twisted the wrong way from the neck. Amy.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Lucie asked having been awoken by my scream.

"Go get J, quickly!" I instructed her frantically as I bent over my fallen cousin, careful not to burn her with my hand which was still alight. I squeezed her hand with my other hand; it seemed strange and floppy, as if it didn't have any bones at all. Her skin was covered in a sheen of sweat but I saw that her chest was moving up and down, so she was alive. In fact the more I looked at her the more it seemed she was not in fact broken, or even hurt, just twisted. I moved her head so it was aligned with her neck and it simply went back into place as if it were never like that.

At that moment Lucie came back in, dragging a half asleep looking Jay by the hand. He wore a plain green pyjama top and green and white check shorts.

"What's this about? And what happened to sleeping?" He asked sleepily and yawned then reached to the light switch. As the light flooded the room, hurting my eyes and making me blink, he saw Amy's twisted form. "No… No this can't happen, this isn't happening…"

He paced around in panic.

"… What do I do? Umm, she is breathing right?" he asked me, Lucie looked as white as a sheet, I nodded, "Ok, what now? Ah! What do I do?"

Jay's panicked pacing had obviously woken Joe as he appeared in the doorway, he saw his sister's unconscious form and Jay's panic but seemed to think it was some sort of game as he ran in a circle and squealed in a way that was reminiscent of Jay's frantic pacing. I looked back at Amy, now that it was fully light I could see properly, her limbs were not broken, but rather twisted and distorted in a way not dissimilar to Uncle Reed. She shivered and her eyes were glazed and her skin felt warmer than it should be. Then I thought of something, I remembered Mummy had once told me that when I was little I had been rather sick, but then all of a sudden I had gotten better and then all of the strange happenings that I now know to be my powers started happening. That was it! She was getting her powers! Jo had powers like Auntie Sue's so it made sense that she should have Uncle Reed's!

"I know!" I exclaimed, Jay stopped his pacing abruptly and looked at him, I explained my theory.

"Of course, why didn't I think of that!" he exclaimed once I was done.

"So… She's ok" Lucie looked for clarification, I nodded enthusiastically.

"That's a relief" Jay sighed, "For a second there I though Heather was actually going to kill me"

Now that we knew that Amy was alright everyone seemed a lot happier, even Joe after the situation was explained to him. But just to be on the safe side we took her to the lab and laid her on a table as a makeshift hospital bed. Lucie 'played nurse' and took her temperature and HERBIE helped us diagnose her with a fever and so we dispatched Joe to fetch flannels which we wetted and put on her forehead and arms. Now all that was left to do was wait for her to cool down. Jay pulled up a chair and sat next to the makeshift bed and I found another and put it beside him. Lucie climbed onto his lap and we sat and watched Amy's sleeping form. After a while I began to feel sleepy, Joe was already asleep, his arms and legs clamped tightly around Jay's leg and Lucie was also showing signs of wilting. I shifted in my chair and nestled into his shoulder as I felt sleep wash over me.


Next thing I knew the world seemed to be shaking, I noticed that Jay had put his arm round me after I fell asleep and that mine and Lucie's head were rested against each other on his chest. I opened my eyes to see that the shaking was in fact Joe tugging violently on Jay's leg causing the three of us to jog.

"Wha…?" Jay asked sleepily, shaking his head.

"Look! Look!" Joe chattered excitedly, pointing at the table in front of us where Amy sat, she looked at Jay as if asking for an explanation.

"You're ok!" Jay exclaimed, and would've hugged his adoptive niece if it weren't for the fact that Lucie was still asleep on top of him.

"You has powers too!" Joe told Amy, "An' you can help get da bad guys!"

And with that he proceeded to act out how she would defeat the 'bad guys' with numerous 'bangs' and 'pows' and other sound effects. Amy giggled at her brother's antics.

"Are they back yet?" asked Lucie who had just woken up.

"Should be" Jay replied, "How about first one to find them gets the first pancake?"

Everyone's eyes lit up at this.

"Pancakes! Pancakes!" Joe cheered before racing out of the room; Amy got off the table by stretching herself to the ground and crawled after him.

"Come on Lucie!" I dragged my half-asleep friend off of Jay's lap and pulled her out of the room. We looked all around and in and out of every room. But we couldn't find head nor tail of the grown-ups; eventually we congregated in the kitchen where Jay was opening a pack of microwave pancakes.

"No luck?" he asked, looking worried, we nodded forlornly. "Ok, I propose a Family Meeting"

Lucie suddenly looked stricken.

"Just this family" Jay amended as he put the plates of pancakes on the table. We sat up on our seats and began eating. Once we were finished the meeting began. "Ok, item number one: the absence of significant older members"

We giggled at his funny 'official' speech. Lucie put her hand up to speak.

"Yes Lucie" Jay acknowledged in his official sounding voice.

"Does that mean they're not coming back?" she said nervously, biting her lip.

"Da bad guys' got 'em!" Joe gasped dramatically, Amy looked ready to cry.

"If they're not coming then we should go get them!" I exclaimed.

"Precisely" Jay agreed continuing his act, "As members of the younger generation we have a responsibility to help those that came before us"

I laughed at his acting; it wasn't really very good, just funny. And so the meeting continued.

"Commence operation: Next Generation" Jay concluded the meeting, I put my hand up.

"I don't like that name" I protested.

"Tough, I'm the oldest, I decide the name" He resolved.

"Can we be ve Fantastic Five 2?" Joe asked hopefully.

"No, because if you put a 5 and a 2 next to each other it's 52, and there isn't fifty two of us, only five, that's… Forty seven too many!" I told him, working out the maths in my head. Joe looked put out, but Jay soon took care of that.

"First things first: Costumes!" Jay exclaimed, leading us out of the Kitchen to the lab where there was a large machine. It was a project Auntie Heather had worked on with a friend of hers a couple of months ago: a digital costume maker or DCM as she called it. All you had to do was input your design to a special program she'd written and the machine would make it out of special cloth, they had demonstrated by making a Spiderman costume, though what they did with it I don't know. Since Lucie, Jay and I already had costumes all we had to do was Amy's and Joe's.

Joe went first, he was of course going to be called the Invisible boy, his costume was dark grey with a white Z slashed across the chest, despite our objections that there was no Z in invisible, it bore a small resemblance to Syndrome's costume from The Incredibles. Amy's was purple with a circular pink e on the chest, since Joe had decided she was to be called Elastigirl. We stood in our costumes and looked expectantly at Jay.

"So what now?" I asked, he rubbed the back of his head.

"Well… I didn't really think past this part" he admitted awkwardly, Lucie raised her hand. "Yes Lucie"

He slipped back into his 'official' accent, earning another giggle.

"If we're gunna rescue them, don't we need to know where they are?" She said nervously.

"Precisely!" Jay exclaimed again, "So who knows how to use the computer?"


Five minutes later

"Computer! I Command you to respond!" He shouted at the screen.

"I don't think that's how it works" Lucie piped up timidly.

"Shh! I refuse to be beaten by a Machine!" Jay insisted, "I don't care if Windows is not responding, just hurry up and do it!"

"Maybe we should…"

"Just do it you stupid computer!" he interrupted, in the commotion a pink gloved hand crept up to the keyboard and typed a sequence of letters. There was a high pitched Beep and a red dot appeared on the map. I followed the arm back to Amy. "I did it! Take that computer! Ha!"

Jay did a victory dance upon seeing the success, I decided not to point out that it wasn't him at all.

"How we ge' there? We can't fly, wew I can't" Jo asked.

"You're right, and it's too far for me to port even if I could take someone with me" Jay agreed.

"The Fantasticar?" Lucie suggested.

"No, they took that with them, silly!" I pointed out.

"None of this is helping!" Jay exclaimed.

"We could jus' get ve bus?" Joe asked hopefully, we all stared at him incredulously.


30 minutes later

"I can't believe we're doing this!" Jay exclaimed, "Superheroes don't take the bus!"

"We could walk if you like?" Lucie said nervously, she didn't like shouting. The driver coughed obviously.

"Can I help you?" he asked, obviously not quite believing his eyes.

"1 adult and four children please" I smiled up at the man who was still looking at us unbelievingly, like Jay said, Superheroes don't normally take the bus.

"That'll be $27 please" The driver replied, looking incredulously at J. (I have no idea about dollars so I just found a number that sounded right, I apologise if it makes no sense)

Jay paid the driver and we all took our seats, Lucie and I sat next to each other and Jay sat behind with Joe next to him and Amy on his knee and we sat awkwardly under the disbelieving gazes of the other passengers as the bus pulled away.


After several changes and missing stops we finally managed to get off at the stop near the warehouse.

"Ok, I am never going on a bus again!" Jay decided, glad that the stress of the journey was over

"I fink vat's a good idea" Joe agreed, "I don' like butheth"

"Jay, where's the warehouse?" Lucie asked with some confusion.

"What do you mean?" I asked her, "It's supposed to be right… here"

I gasped as I saw the gaping hole where the building should've been. It was as if the entire thing had just fallen to the centre of the earth!

"Echo!" Joe shouted down the dark tunnel, the sound bounced around as if the hole went on forever.

"I don't like it" Lucie said nervously, peeking over the edge while clinging onto J.

"Well that explains why there not back yet" Jay said whistling in awe at the sheer size of the hole.

"No it doesn't!" I retorted, "If they were just stuck down a hole all they'd have to do is fly out! Well Daddy and Auntie Heather would, Uncle Reed and Uncle Ben would have to ride on one of Auntie Sue's force fields, or Auntie Heather would carry them! They must be trapped or something!"

Lucie looked fearfully at the dark tunnel.

"Do we have to go down there?" she asked, chewing her lip in fear.

"Looks like it" Jay concluded, "So who first?"

I flamed on and hovered unstably over the hole. Orange flames flickered around the bare earth as I slowly descended. I screamed slightly as I quite suddenly found my feet on solid ground. Obviously the hole wasn't as deep as Joe's echoes would have you imagine.

"Lia? Are you ok?" Lucie's voice floated down from above, obviously having heard my squeal.

"I'm fine, you can come down, it's not that deep!" I yelled back up. I looked up to see the white square of the top of the hole, three figures leaning over the edge. I waved excitedly.

"I wan' go!" Joe exclaimed before launching himself over the rim and falling down towards me.

"No!" Lucie shouted before jumping after her Half-brother, her fear forgotten. They met in mid-air, Lucie re-realised her fear and squealed, clinging on to a still giggling Joe. I watched in horror as the both of them fell towards me. I closed my eyes, I couldn't bare to watch my cousins die. But what I heard next was not the sound of them hitting the ground, it was a strange crackling noise. I cautiously ventured to open my eyes and promptly gasped at what I saw.

Lucie was covered in her sparkling electricity; it was that which made the crackling sound. But she was floating in mid-air, still clinging onto Joe.

"You can fly too!" I exclaimed, flaming on and joining her in the air. Lucie giggled, her laughter was contagious and soon all of us were laughing.

"Hey! What's so funny down there?" Jay shouted down. We all stopped laughing and Lucie frowned.

"What's wrong?" I asked her

"I don't know how to get down" she admitted, biting her lip.

"That may be a problem" I admitted.

"What's going on?" Jay called again.

"We're ok, Lucie can fly now!" I shouted up at him, "Only she doesn't know how to get down!"

"You're right, that is a problem" he agreed.

I reached out to touch my cousins when suddenly there was a large crack and pain surged through my body. All three of us fell to the ground with a bump.

"What was that? Are you all ok? Hang on, I'm coming down!" J called worriedly, a second later he stood beside us carrying Amy. "Whoa, it's massive down here!"

For the first time I looked around, my eyes now used to the relative dark. He was right, it was a gigantic cavern that seemed to close into a tunnel at one side. Clearly that was where our parents had gone. So lit by the flickering orange and white lights that Me and Lucie produced on our hands, we stepped cautiously into the darkness. The tunnel seemed to go on for ever! And it didn't help that Lucie insisted on us walking as close together as physically possible in case of any creatures attacking. It was really scary though, and eerily like one of my nightmares. After a long while I began to see something. It started off as a grey smudge but soon brightened into a white point. Was it the end of the tunnel? The further we walked the bigger and brighter the light got. Soon it was quite obvious that it was not the end of the tunnel as several dark splodgy shapes could be seen moving about what seemed to be a large crystal cavern. We crept closer and saw a larger, hunched figure that seemed eerily familiar. Jay motioned to all of us and we slipped behind a bunch of crystals that protruded from the floor.

"What have we here?" Jay asked no one in particular as he peeked over the crystals to see the cavern more clearly. As I poked my head round the side I could easily see the grown-ups. Uncle Reed was trapped in some sort of hard clay that kept him restrained, as was Auntie Sue. I could see Daddy collapsed of the floor covered in white foam that looked a lot like the stuff that comes out of fire-extinguishers. Auntie Heather seemed to be trapped in a sort of crystal tube and didn't look very happy, she was curled up fearfully and glancing around. Lastly I spotted Uncle Ben, he was hardest to spot since he was buried up to his neck in what seemed to be cross between a bog and quicksand.

"Are they ok?" Lucie whimpered.

"They will be" Jay assured us, "Team discussion"

We huddled around, still behind the crystal wall.

"We have two objectives" Jay clarified, "1: to rescue the Fantastic Five, and 2: to find out what that weird machine does and shut it down"

He pointed towards a large machine I hadn't noticed before, it was covered in blue and green lights and the hunched figure was busy pressing buttons and levers.

"Joe, I want you to turn invisible and get as close as you can to that machine and unplug it from the generator" Jay explained, he pointed at a large grey cable that led from the large machine to a smaller one that was making a whirring noise. "When he's done that, I want you two to create a distraction while I free the prisoners, Amy stay here"

We all nodded and looked to Jo. The six year old made a strange face before winking out of view. We waited nervously, not sure whether he had gone or not. It was only when a mysterious giggle echoed around the cave that we realised he was right next to the figure.

"You're ve Underminer!" he exclaimed with much amusement, his mission forgotten.

"Joe!" Auntie Sue exclaimed, realising her Son's presence.

"What is this!" the figure shrieked, the shock caused Joe to lose his invisibility, "Get him!"

Mud began to rise up from the ground and engulf Joe. I watched in horror as my cousin was swallowed up by the living dirt. Suddenly he let out a loud cry as the mud-creatures were thrown back by a bright blue force-field wave that seemed to emanate from his entire body. I took my chance, grabbed Lucie and ran into the open.

"Hey! Leave my cousin alone! Flame on!" I shouted, lighting myself on fire and glaring at the figure menacingly.

"How adorable, it's the mini-Fantastic-Five" the figure crooned, "What makes you think you have any more chance than your parents?"

"Because we're not entirely the same!" I retorted, "Lucie!"

My Cousin's hands lit up with electricity as I flamed off and phased into my metallic form. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jay pull Auntie Sue out of her clay trap using his phasing. I clenched my fists and started to charge towards him. But as soon as I did the entire ground seemed to shake and rumble. What was happening? I suddenly found myself lying on the ground. Blue and Green lights flashed in front of me. Of course! The machine!

"Nothing can stop me now!" the figure laughed maniacally.

"Oh really?" a voice asked from behind us, I looked round and saw Auntie Heather, having perked up considerable now she was out of her crystal cell. Using her telekinesis to stable herself, she flew over to the control panel of the machine. Her eyes flashed bright blue as she began operating the device. I picked myself up off the ground and lashed out a kick at the figure in front of me. The force caused him to fall over and his dark glasses to fall of his face.

"AAAGH! THE LIGHT! IT BURNS!" he squealed, protecting his eyes with his dirty clawed hands.

"So you don't like light, huh?" I laughed "Flame on!"

The metal layer over my skin instantly disappeared and was replaced with fire. The light from my flames flickered around the cavern, reflected by the massive crystals.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" The villain yelled. The mud-creatures clustered around also began to recoil and shriek as they did so until they melted into the ground. The shaking stopped suddenly.

"HA! Got it!" I heard Auntie Heather exclaim from her place at the control panel, her eyes returned to their usual purple. "Can we PLEASE get out of here now?"

"Daddy!" I squealed as I saw him pick himself off the ground.

"Hey Pearly" he replied as he stood up entirely. I hugged him round the waist, causing me to also have white foam on me.

"We saved you!" I laughed.

"What? No you didn't, we would've got out without you!" he replied indignantly.

"We did too!" I retorted.

"So what are you now, the Fantastic Five: Second generation?" Heather asked with a smirk, looking over to where her brother was being berated by Auntie Sue for allowing us to do this.

"We could be…" Lucie piped up nervously.

"YAY!" Joe squealed excitedly. "We'w goin' to save da world!"

"Maybe not right now" Uncle Reed said awkwardly

"The world does have to be in danger before you can save it" Jay pointed out, having escaped Auntie Sue.
