Buddy, Mirage, Alexia and Dash all continued to carefully sneak through the woods.

"Why did my sister become like this?" Dash whispered over to Buddy. "I'm Dash by the way."

"I'm Buddy, nice to make your acquaintance. There are actually two versions of your sister. If she has an extra purple gem on her desk that would be the sane one. The one that's doing all this...she's over a hundred thousand years old...and insanely evil." Buddy whispered back looking worriedly back to make sure she hadn't found them. "She's dangerous and needs to be stopped. I'm not strong enough yet or I would."

"She said you killed her friend...did you?" Dash whispered looking curious.

"No, she...she murdered them...and ate them." Buddy said looking slightly nauseous from remembering how she swallowed Connie's gemstone.

"That's disgusting if it's true." Dash said giving a look of repulse. "Is the rest of my family safe?"

"They should be as long as they keep playing along with her lies." Buddy explained still whispering as they made their way through more bushes. "You on the other hand may not be now if she thinks your onto her. Even if you lie she can dig in your mind and fish the real information out. She seems bent on killing or capturing anyone who allies with me. I feel responsible for this. I'm Sorry..."

"Did she rip your soul out of your body?" Dash inquired as they made their exit from the forest.

"Among other things...yes...she did." Buddy said sighing as they continued walking.

Mirage and Alexia looked at each other, both looking exhausted and continued following Dash and Buddy.

"This is weird, why did she do that?" Dash asked looking confused.

"When someone's evil...they love watching other people struggle and suffer. It's not good to do that. It attracts bad things." Buddy said as he reflected back to when he thought he wanted revenge on Mr. Incredible. "I'm not wasting any more time on revenge. We have to spend more of it on improving our situation and making things right."

Dash raised an eyebrow listening to Buddy.

"Does it hurt to have your soul be like that?" Dash asked looking inquisitive.

"No...but being like this...you're susceptible to any one of the seven deadly sins and to prevent going in a downward spiral...like your sister...you have to focus on a key action depending on what gem stone you have." Buddy explained.

"I can fly us the rest of the way to the house." Mirage said taking out her magic carpet. "We should be far enough to not be spotted."

"Good idea." Buddy said getting on the carpet as Alexia go on the carpet as well.

"I got an idea." Dash said grabbing the edge of the carpet. "I'll pull the carpet and get us there fast."

"Go for it." Buddy said giving him a thumbs up as the all grabbed the carpet to hold on.

Dash speed down the streets at lightning speeds until they ended up at the Parr house making Buddy raise his eyebrows in surprise.

"This...this is my old house." Buddy said gawking slightly. "Why are you all living here?"

"My mom picked it out. You used to live here?" Dash said slightly surprised.

"I admit...I tend to go overboard with my living spaces." Buddy said sheepishly.

"We should probably go inside and get the gems." Alexia said taking out a key to the house and opening the door.

"Her power is making keys?" Dash said raising an eyebrow.

"Bingo, I can make keys to any door or lock." Alexia said as they walked inside and headed towards Violet's room.

They found her room and there sat the four gems on her desk. Buddy gathered them gently and looked around the room.

"We need to find four large and empty books." Buddy explained finding one of the books on the bed as he put the gems into his pocket along with his.

It felt strange and crowded to him now with the gemstones in his pocket. They found the other three blank books picking them all up.

"Perhaps you should change into some normal clothes so you don't look suspicious?" Buddy suggested to Dash.

"Yeah, I think I'll do that." Dash said racing to his room and back, now sporting a red sports jersey with the number five and cargo shorts.

"We should probably get out of here." Alexia said looking around with her ears wide open.

"We'll just have to figure out where we're going after we leave." Buddy said as he lead the way.

"It feels like we've done allot, but did we really?" Alexia said out loud, looking as if she were thinking.

"We've been through allot." Mirage said placing a hand on Alexia's shoulder. "Buddy, we can go to my penthouse. It's not much, but at least there we can get out of sight."

"That's a good idea." Buddy said as they called a cab.

The cab driver pulled up and they all piled inside. Taking them all to house Buddy handed the driver his cash. They turned and went inside the building.

"My home is on the twelfth floor." Mirage said pressing the elevator button.

Walking into her home they found the furnishings were rather modern, neat and tidy. She closed the blinds as Buddy sat the other gems down on the coffee table and took out his sword.

"I think I can bring their bodies back..." Buddy said setting the books on the floor.

He looked nervous as he gently swung his sword into the books causing them to revert back into human bodies making everyone gasp. Bomb Voyage, Holly, Tony Rydinger and Connie's soulless body appeared on the floor. They all woke up, even Connie who glared angrily at Buddy.

"What the hell did you do? Where are we?" Connie said irritably.

"You're not Connie." Buddy said looking at her curiously. "Are you Violet Parr?"

"Yes I'm Violet, why would you think I'm someone else? Also I hate you." Connie-Violet said spotting Dash who stared at her gawking.

"Dash, tell them I'm Violet." Connie-Violet said looking impatient to wish he looked confused and pointed at himself.

"Seeing as an evil version of Violet ate Connie's soul I'd say this is probably Violet." Buddy said looking at her nervously. "You may want to look in a mirror since she also...well...stole your body."

"Why should I believe you?" Connie-Violet said bitterly.

Bomb Voyage, Holly and Tony simply watched as the conversation unfolded with slight surprise and intrigue.

"Look." Buddy said holding up a hand mirror to show Violet she was in Connie's body.

"Oh my god! How did this happen?!" Connie-Violet said as her knees shoot and she pulled on her pigtails.

"There's an evil version of you and she is very good at lying. You have all of us here to support you though." Buddy said patiently handing Connie-Violet the purple gemstone and showed her his own yellow diamond. "She did this to me."

"Can I?" Connie-Violet said looking at his gem as she hesitantly reached for it.

"Are you sure you want to know what you'd find out if you read this gem stone? This isn't tame stuff. Stuff I'm not even comfortable saying out loud." Buddy said looking at Violet with concern.

"Something tells me I'm going to regret this...but sure." Violet said gently taking the yellow diamond in her hand.

It felt like his soul was getting softly caressed and overlook like he was a book and someone was skimming through his pages. Violet's face looked troubled at first and then went to a sickly pale.

"What the hell...that...what the hell." Connie-Violet said gently handing Buddy his gem back and going into the bathroom to throw up.

"You managed to rescue us. Thanks." Holly said looking delighted as she picked up her gem stone, took out her hat and took an apple from it sitting on a sofa.

"Where are we?" Tony said looking confused.

"Dude, you're going to want this." Buddy said handing the luminous sapphire over to Tony. "What's the last thing you remember?"

"I was walking home...and then everything went blank." Tony said looking nervously around him.

"You aren't a normal human anymore. Obviously someone ripped the soul from your body." Holly said casually eating her apple, looking indifferent.

"Wait...what?" Tony said gawking as he looked at the gemstone.

"That's your soul." Buddy said pointing at the sapphire in his hand. "Make sure not to lose it or your dead."

"I didn't ask for this." Tony said annoyed.

"It doesn't matter that you didn't ask for it. You have it and it can't be reversed. You'll just have to deal with it." Holly said rolling her eyes. "I was hoping I wouldn't have to tutor anyone else, here you are bringing me more work Buddy."

"I think I need a drink." Bomb Voyage grumbled.

"Good luck, drinking does nothing for us." Buddy said picking up a whole bottle of whiskey downing the whole thing in one gulp and still looked sober.

"Fuck..." Blaize said looking shocked.

"Watch it butt head, there's a child here." Holly said patting Dash on the back and getting up to give Blaize a good strong smack on the back of the head.

"This is too weird." Dash said sitting on the sofa near Holly. "So you all have your souls in gems...and the gems give you super powers?"

"Kind of, I want to say they bring out a person's full potential. Also, we can live practically forever as long as our gemstones are intact." Holly explained cheerfully as Connie-Violet came back in the room. "Violet dear, come over here and let me see your gem stone so I can help you." Holly said patting the empty space beside her.

Violet hesitated for a moment and sat beside Holly as Holly sat her gemstone on the table.

"Just go ahead and put your gemstone beside mine." Holly said patiently.

Violet raised an eyebrow and did as she said.

"You're key action is going to be achievement. You need to focus on what you can achieve next all the time and that should help build up your happiness." Holly said smiling as she handed Violet her gem back. "Also, let go of the hate you have for Buddy. Just forgive and keep moving forward. If you hold grudges it'll prevent you from being happy. Holding a grudge often prevents humans from obtaining real happiness because they're wasting time on something they don't want. Now...the young man with the sapphire...I believe you're next." Holly said looking at Tony.

Tony sat his gemstone next to Holly's making her look at him with intrigue.

"Your key action...will be using your intuition. You have good instincts so you need to use those. Also...just like most blue gemstones you will need to find someone you can trust to team up with long term. People with blue gemstones...well...they're dependent on having a partner." Holly said handing his gemstone back to him.

Connie-Violet looked like she wanted to say something to Tony, but couldn't.

"You're Violet, but in a different body right?" Tony said sitting down next to Connie-Violet.

"Y...yes." Connie-Violet said nervously.

"This whole situation is weird and I can't say I know what to expect, but I want to help you get your body back." Tony said taking Connie-Violet's hand in his own looking into her eyes.

"I'll help you so we can stop any more harm from taking place. We need to make sure that the good guys win in this story." Buddy said giving a confident smile and a thumbs up. "We can do this."

(Meanwhile)

Bob drove with Helen, Jack-Jack and Violet up and down the forest roads.

"I think Buddy captured him." Violet said looking worried.

'If he is helping Buddy I will kill him.' Violet thought angrily.

"If Buddy has stolen my son from me he's going to be sorry he did." Bob said angrily. "We'll find Dash and if Buddy has captured him...he'll be sorry."
