Chapter 9

"Sometimes I just wonder…have I made the right choice?"

Violet sat dully on the chair, picking at her food. It was morning, and the glimmering sunlight filtered through the brightly-decorated windows. Dash was squirming in his seat, which was unusual. Only Jack-Jack was still the same, no change at all.

"…You know what, Dash?" Violet murmured quietly.

Dash looked utterly disappointed as his eyes met hers. "Sometimes I just wonder…have I made the right choice?" Dash really perked up at Violet's words.

"I…I think so…"

"Are you sure? I don't want to defy my parents, but…"

Violet picked up Jack-Jack, who was crawling over the carpeted floor, and was ready to go under the table. She cuddled him gently as he spouted nonsense. Dash lowered his head silently. The silence in the room was awkward.

Bob stared at the tracking device. "Darn it! Why doesn't it work?" He was ready to shatter the device when Helen stopped him.

"No. Maybe the device is just quirky or something…" Bob shook his head. He was like a volcano ready to erupt.

"Bob? If someone has kidnapped them, they will be smart enough to destroy the device in their supersuits."

Bob shook his head again. "I don't care. I will find them. No matter what." Helen stopped.

"I'm with you. But, where do we go?"

Bob was silent. "Nomanisan."

"Master, we have won their trust." Ryo spoke softly to the figure.

"Good." Bryan fidgeted slightly as the figure stepped out of the shadows. An evil grin spread across his lips. "Call them here."

Ryo and Bryan lowered their heads in respect as the man stepped past them. He looked out of the window to the bright sunlight. Nomanisan Island seemed radiant under the sun, which was lined against an azure blue sky. Ryo and Bryan hastily slipped off to Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack's room.

"Dash, do you really think this is correct? We should fight them?" Violet asked uncertainly.

"We've already agreed. There's no turning back now." Dash regretfully said.

"Why did we agree in the first place?"

"…" Dash sighed as the answer escaped his lips. "Because of Jack-Jack. He agreed. We can't just leave him here, right?" Violet glanced over at the now sleeping toddler. Maybe Dash was right.

"Violet, Dash, Jack-Jack."

"Ryo? Bryan?" Jack-Jack murmured as he awoke hastily.

"Master wants to see you."

"Master?" Violet looked over her shoulder to Dash, who shrugged.

"Yeah, just follow me."

The trio apprehensively followed suit, wondering who on earth was the master. The room was flooded in bright light when the doors to the master's room opened.

"They're here."

"Good. You may leave." Bryan and Ryo nodded, retreating out. When the doors closed with a soft 'thud', the man then spoke. "So, you are the children of the Incredibles."

"Yes." Dash firmly replied. He was not going to show him their fear.

"You know your mission."

Dash, Violet and Jack-Jack nodded. There was silence for what seemed like eternity.

"Do you know who I am?" The man whipped round to face them. The three drew a deep breath, stifling a gasp. The man had lots of ugly scars on his face, and his brown eyes glowed with a slight hint of revenge. He drew up his callused hands, and they too, were covered with scars. His hair was a messy, flat mess of orange, and his legs were scarred as well. He seemed familiar, but none of them could recall where they had seen him before.

"No."

The man laughed. "No?" It's even better, he thought. Since you can't even recgonise your arch-nemesis, I might as well make full use of you. "Well, call me…the Duke."

All nodded in acknowledgement. "I have detected a plane that will be landing any moment now on the southern part of Nomanisan. They are, of course, Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl. I want you to fight them with all your might. This will be considered as your first battle. We'll see how, then."

Violet stared at Dash, who stared at Jack-Jack, and who in turn stared at Violet. Our parents? No way…it can't be…but the screen proved that they were here, without doubt, on the island. The three supers slipped on their suits, and headed out the door, each lost in their own train of thoughts. However, they knew that soon, they would have to concentrate on defeating their parents.
