"Never!" grinned Dr. Petrificus, "I'll never tell you!" And he started laughing.

Frozone scowled at him. "If you don't tell us," he said, "then we'll hold these boys hostage."

The villain smirked. "Do whatever you want with them, they're no use to me. I can have anyone."

"You can't have anyone if something bad happens to you," said Frozone.

"You can do whatever you want with me. If I die, your friends will still be under my spell. Killing me won't save them."

There was a loud cracking noise behind them, and as they turned to look, one of the twins appeared on top of Violet, pulling visciously at her hair, trying to get her off Dr. Petrificus. Violet didn't know what to do, she didn't really want to fight a small child. Helen grabbed the boy by the collar and lifted him in the air, but she had to let go of the villains' hands in doing so. He stood up quickly, knocking Violet off him. He slid across the floor on the water that was there, and picked up his gun.

"No!" shouted Frozone, firing a ball of ice at him on istinct, but of course it had no effect when against the gun. Dr. Petrificus pressed a button on one of the walls, and there was a loud rumble. The room was splitting in two! Dr. Petrificus ran through the gap that lead into another room which had light shining down from above. There was an opening to outdoors at the top of the room, and directly below the opening was a hovercraft! The villain ran towards it, Frozone following on an ice trail he was creating, but Dr. Petrificus reached the hovercraft before Frozone could stop him. The hovercraft floated upwards and out, and Frozone began to follow him. Helen saw and stretched her free arm to grab Frozone, then with her other she dropped the boy and grabbed Violet. They were in it together, they would chase after him together.

Helen put Violet on her back, and climbed onto Frozone's. Then she stretched her right arm till she had hold of the back of the hovercraft. Then she quickly started shrinking her arm back to normal size, bringing the three of them closer to the hovercraft. They climbed aboard quickly, Dr. Petrificus worrying about what he could do to shake them off. He couldn't stop driving the hovercraft, he hadn't built in an autopilot feature - how he wish he had.

"There's no escape now!" said Violet, and she started trying to pull the man off the driver's seat. He released his hands from the control pad and stood up, shooting at the three of them as they tried to grab hold of him. Eventually, Helen knocked the gun out of his hands and it fell downwards, into the sea which they were now currently over.

"NO!" cried Dr. Petrificus. He growled and pressed the button on his belt again. Suddenly, out of nowhere appeared one of the twins. He jumped onto Frozone and knocked him off the hovercraft. They were falling to the sea! Frozone reacted istantly, and made an ice trail back up to the overcraft, but the boy continued to fall. He hit the water, and then he started screaming.

"Help!" He cried, "help me!" He couldn't swim. He was drowning. His head and arms kept bobbing in and out of the water.

Perhaps it was the mother in her that prompted Helen to jump off the hovercraft and into the sea. She didn't want to - she couldn't - let the boy drown. Just as he went under, she grabbed him round the waist and shouted for Frozone. He made an ice trail down to her, but as he did so Dr. Petrificus pushed Violet off the hovercraft. He sat back down, gripped the control pad and flew off.

They swam back to the island, and lay the boy down. He wasn't breathing.

"Quick!" cried Violet, "do something!"

Helen nodded and performed CPR. It wasn't until three minutes after she began that the boy finally coughed out some water and sat up crying.

"Are you okay?" asked Helen, putting an arm around the boy.

He sniffed and looked up at her. "Where am I? Where's Lucas?" He spoke with a refined English accent. The boy's hair was almost white, and his eyes were the darkest shade of blue.

"Is Lucas you're brother?" asked Violet.

The boy nodded. "Where is he?" He asked again.

Frozone sighed. "He's...not here right now." He found that easier to say than "your brother is imprisoned in a block of ice because he's been put under some madman's evil spell."

"Oh," said the boy, and he started crying again.

"What's your name?" asked Helen gently.

"Oliver."

"Where's your mommy Oliver?"

"I got no mummy."

"Dad?" asked Frozone.

The boy shrugged.

"Who looks after you?" asked Violet, curious.

"Claire at the orphan home," he replied, wiping his eyes. "Then that man said he would take us to the park, and...where am I?"

Helen sighed sympathetically for the boy. Obviously Dr. Petrificus had seen that they were supers, and had kidnapped them to use for his own evil scheme.

"You're on an island because you're on a mission," said Violet, putting on an enthusiastic voice that children love.

"Like a spy?" he asked.

"Yeah! Like a spy!" said Frozone, encouragingly.

"Cool!" said Oliver, grinning happily.

The four of them sat in silence for a moment, then Violet said, "What now?"

"We go after the bad guy! Duh!" said Oliver, jumping to his feet in his wet clothes.

The three of them laughed, then Oliver joined in although he was oblivious to what they were laughing at.

"Thats right," said Frozone, "We go after the bad guy."
