Location: School Dorms
"It came from here. I swear I heard something."
A group of guards began heading towards the source of the sound.
"Why are you leaving your designated?" An angry voice spoke through the guards' earpieces.
"We heard something." The head guard informed.
"If a group of kids are out, make sure you capture them. I want all of these next generation brats."
"Got it. Over."
The men rounded off at the corner and held their guns at the ready, but they saw the hallway was empty. No sign of anyone.
"It probably was just an echo." Said one of them. "The place is dead an probably just rebounded some noise we met."
"Back in position men." Said the head guard and led them back to their position. Clearly a false alarm.
All they see is the hallway. They don't see us.
Lucky they had an illusionist on their team. While Penny concentrated on creating the illusion that none of them were there, the other three remained silent.
At least Hiro and Violet were no longer arguing. Both realized that that was for another time, another place. Right now, they had a school to save.
But other than being mad at her irrational thinking, Hiro knew he would've done the exact same thing if it were his brother. Didn't matter if he was older, Tadashi was still his brother. But he was gone. Maybe if he knew about his powers then he may have been able to save him. Well, he may not have been able to save his own sibling, but he was determined to make sure that another set of siblings didn't feel his lose.
Once the coast was clear, Penny dropped the illusion and let out an exhausted groan. That really took out a lot on her. Wilbur rushed to her side to keep her steady.
"You did great." He encouraged.
Penny gave him a small smile. "Maybe I'll get to see your powers in action later. But I hope not too soon."
"You'll be in for quite a shock." He smirked.
While the two helped each other out, the other two remained silent. It was Hiro who broke it off first.
"Hey, while I think what you did was pretty dumb, I would've done the same too if it were my brother."
"Well I'm sorry I got you all worried." Violet apologized, her eyes darting to the floor.
Hiro grabbed her shoulders, causing he to look into his dark irises. "I know what it's like to lose someone you care about, to feel you could've done something but you just couldn't. I won't let that happen to you. So lets go make sure your brother's stays out of harm's way."
At his words, Violet through herself on him and hugged him tightly. She didn't know what else to do, but she believed him and knew that things were gonna be okay. After all they were superheroes. What could happen?
As soon as the thought finished, the guards had infiltrated another room and as luck would have it, it was Dash's room. Just their superhero luck. Before Violet could try to stop them, Hiro stopped her. "It's no good if you get caught too." he told her.
That had caused her to back down. She had her friends here. Of course they'd help. It was dumb that she left them and she wasn't about to endanger them again with her stupidity.
"Then what do you suppose we do?" she asked him.
At that all three were now facing the genius. "Penny's illusions helped us. Think you could still make a few? Because I'm thinking we could follow them from behind and they'll eventually lead us to who might be behind it all or at least take us outside and that's when we attack." Hiro asked her.
Penny shook her head. "My powers are still a little low. If I used them know, my powers wouldn't cover us the whole way. We'd be exposed before we'd make it outside or wherever the drop off point is."
"So we need something else." Hiro thought.
Violet cleared her throat. "You're forgetting you have me here."
"Could you even turn us all invisible?" Wilbur asked.
"I'm sure if I concentrated hard enough and I have been practicing."
"I don't think fruits are equal to humans." Wilbur raised an eyebrow.
"It might be the only chance we have and this is my brother we're talking about."
Before a full blown argument could arise, Hiro interrupted. "Violet's right. This might be the only shot we got. I just want to know if you are up for it?" he turned to Violet.
"It's my brother they have. I'll make sure I am." she said in a determined voice. "Now stay close and not a sound." she ordered. Violet then created a forcefield around them.
"I can still see myself?" Wilbur said.
"We can see each other, but they can't see us. Figured it be easier so we don't lose track of each other."
"So like my illusions?" Penny questioned.
"Except if they come into contact with us, I could still keep it up. But we should go, I've never done this before and who knows how long I can hold it up."
They then quietly followed behind the guards. She could see her brother was knocked out like the other kids that had been taken. What did these people want? Super or no, they were still kids. And as much as she just wanted to take them out and get her brother out as soon as possible, they still had to know who was behind it all and they could be leading them to their only chance of escape. As far as they knew all the exits were sealed off, but these guards had a way of getting in and that would be their way out.
After having following them for several minutes, they could see the carpark where they entered and the entrance that led to the forest was open. A way out. They may have been in the middle of nowhere, but the forest was large and they could hide there until the coast was clear. Or maybe be able to get far away enough from them that they'd run into civilisation before they got caught.
"How many more?" A woman came up to them.
"There's still a fair few. I do think some kids weren't in their rooms at the time of lockdown."
"They couldn't have gotten far. The whole place is locked and we would've seen them sneak out. No one's been in and out. I see you've got one of that retched Incredible spawn." distaste present in her voice, but there was also some tone of sick enjoyment.
"Looks like someone's got some Incredible vendetta." Said Wilbur. Something seemed off though. They remained by the entrance, but something wasn't right about the it.
They were at the entrance, but before Violet could step out, Wilbur pulled her back.
"Hold on." he whispered. "Sorry to cut our plan short, but..." he then placed his hands on the ground and an electrical charge that came around the entrance. It had alerted the guards nearby.
"THE BARRIER!" The woman called out. "One of those mangy kids are here!"
Hiro examined the now burnt barrier around the door. "It looks like some kind of super power on and off switch and it's set to off."
"It was off." Wilbur corrected. "I just fried it out. But if we passed it, I doubt we'd be able to kick butt."
"Found them!"
They all turned around and could see the guards aiming their weapons at them. Violet's invisibility had worn off and she didn't look to be in any position to fight.
"You okay?" Penny came over to her as she fell to her knees, while the boys stood protectively in front of them, ready to fend them off.
"Yeah..." she breathed. "Just give me a minute." That had been the first time she turned multiple beings invisible and for such a long period of time. it had taken a lot out of her, but she wasn't going to stop when her brother was in reach. Resting can be done later. And while her powers may be out for the moment, she could still fight.
"Get your brother! We'll fend them off!" Hiro ordered. He wasn't great with powers in combat, his fail in class earlier proved that, but it was real now and he'd take an F over having a spot in the morgue.
The girl's nodded and Penny helped her friend up and the two headed outside to catch the guards with Dash.
A guard ran towards Wilbur and when he grabbed the boy, Wilbur tried electrifying the guy. "Electric proof suit kid." the guy grinned.
"Worked on the other guys."
"But they weren't fitted for dealing with you."
"Guess I'll have to get creative then." Wilbur said. "NOW!" he called out and a levitating rock was dropped on the guy's head. "Guess you're not telekinetic proof." he smirked at the unconscious man as Hiro came over. The two then high five each other. "Nice work my friend."
After their little victory, they were soon throwing punches, kicks and surges of power towards the guards. Meanwhile, the girls went back to stealth mode, this time with the use of Penny's powers. The red head had just tricked a guard into running into the opposite direction as he believed he was chasing them. When they were close enough to the van, no doubt they had more children in there and that there had been others and more were to come.
"Do you even know that woman?" Penny whispered, as they peeked over the side of the truck. The same woman who addressed the guard who had Dash earlier, was watching the scene. Her men were losing to teenagers. Could they have reached a new low. But there were more kids. Where were the other two?
"Never seen her before." Violet shook her head.
"I wonder why she'd take the supers?"
Penny was left to linger on the thought, because Violet took out a nearby guard. "You've gotta show me that move." Penny said amused.
"Maybe when this is all over." Violet said.
"There's the other half." The two girls turned and saw the woman, slow clapping and heading towards them.
"And what luck. It's Incredible baby number one." she gleamed.
"How do you even know me?" Violet asked.
"Let's say your father is the reason my father lost everything. Does the lawsuits from seventeen years ago? Because of your father, I had to watch my father suffer and I swore I'd make him pay."
"Wait a minute?" Penny interrupted. "Your uniform, that's from the NSA?" she pointed out.
"Just part of my plan. Join the government organisation that protects supers. Ironic huh? They keep all super details and after building my ranks I had access to every super, I knew their locations, powers and most importantly, their identities. From there I was able to track them all down. But of course Diker came up with the idea of the school. Gathering all of the next generation of supers under one roof? I figured why go after Mr. Incredible when I could go after his kids? Make him suffer like I did. Surely they'd be under the protection of this school. But of course there was a flaw in my plan. Diker didn't trust me to give me clearance on the project and so I had to use other means to get information on where this place was. Then there was the whole planning around the security protocols." she rambled on.
What was with bad guys and monologuing? No wonder they always lost.
"Who are you anyway?" Violet asked.
"In the NSA, I'm Agent S. Agent Sansweet."
"Wait. Sansweet? As in Oliver Sansweet?"
"He was my father."
"But my dad saved him from killing himself!"
"No. My father was avoiding having to deal with all the money he owed. He used what he had left to send my mother and I into hiding on some island. By saving him, your father practically ruined his life. He didn't have the money he owed and so his employers came after him. Sueing Mr. Incredible may have sent the supers into hiding, but they were all still there. Illegally saving people. Then two years ago, look who comes out and saves the day? Why, Mr. Incredible and his new family. You save the day over and over again, more supers come out of hiding and the whole world loves you again. But some of us still remember what you did or your parents anyway. You guys weren't technically born yet, but whatever. But the more praise, the harder the fall. I won't stop until the reputation of supers is destroyed and no one will ever trust them again."
While she appeared to be talking to two girls, one of them was merely an illusion. Penny and Violet agreed, to keep her distracted, while the other snuck around to get Dash and any other kids they could save. The Violet next to Penny was merely an illusion. Asking questions and responding how she thought her friend would. Good thing she looked up on her Golden Age history. But those lawsuits were pretty much basic knowledge for a super. It was one of those huge changes for their kind. And it did make sense to know why you couldn't tell people about what you could do.
Figures the door would be locked. She was even willing to bet that the door was power proof. They might be knocked out inside, but they'd eventually come to and no doubt they'd want a bunch of kids to escape. But maybe it was only on the inside that was power proofed. That was how most power proofed rooms work. Inside was impenetrable, but not outside. Violet made a small forcefield and threw it at the door, denting the lock and eventually getting it open. Inside, she saw Dash, of course, and a whole lot of other kids. Did they all have to be unconscious? Even if she could get them out, she didn't know what to do with a bunch of unconscious kids.
"Need a hand there?" someone asked. Violet turned around and saw the boys coming over, Hiro being the one who spoke.
"Guards all out?"
"Those guys were a bunch of weaklings. One spark and they're out." Wilbur said.
"I recall a few being electrokinesis proof." Hiro reminded.
"Minor hold back. Now how about we get these guys out?"
"Not to be a party pooper, but while we could get them out, what are we gonna do afterwards?"
Hiro and Wilbur had a blank expression at Violet's words.
"We could take out their boss over there?" Wilbur suggested. "End it once and for all."
"Boss, the NSA are nearby. Are you done yet?" her guard informed via her earpiece.
Rats. She was hoping to be done by the time they arrived. But these kids had to come in and hold her back. But she supposed she had to take what she could get. And while she didn't get the bigger prize, she had more than enough to set her plan in motion. The supers will fall with or without the Incredible spawn. She was just sorry that Mr. Incredible wasn't going to suffer as much.
"Send in the helicopter. We'll make do with the one's we've captured." she said.
"What about the other kids?"
"There's been a delay, a few got out and caused some issues. Just make sure to bring that copter in."
"We're already in location."
As soon as that last message was sent, the area around them began to sway as if there were strong winds, but the sounds from above, suggested that her copter was lowering.
It caused penny to lose focus and her illusion of Violet faded, but Agent S. didn't seem to care as she hopped into the copter.
"You may have won this battle, but the worse is yet to come." she said down to them.
The other three had joined Penny and watched her leave.
"I'm not letting her go!" Hiro yelled.
"And what are you gonna do?" Wilbur asked.
He didn't recieve an answer, but he didn't need one as the helicopter was suddenly stuck in position. it looked as if it was trying to fly off, but something was pulling it back.
"What's happening?!" Sansweet demanded, heading towards her pilot.
"I..I..I don't know. It's like someone's pulling it back." the pilot replied hesitantly.
Sansweet looked back out and looked at the kids back down. No doubt it was one of them. She knew Parr was able to turn herslef and others, including objects invisible and generate forcefields, Robinson's boy was an electrokinetic and that girl from the show made illusions. So it had to be that other kid with them.
"Who is that?" she turned to one of her men present.
He quickly checked the files on his tablet, looking for a match.
"Hiro Hamada. Abilities listed are enhanced intellect, mechanical intuition and telekinesis." he said.
Sansweet took the tablet and read his file. "I know how to take down a telekinetic." she said and then pulled out a gun from her belt. She went to the window, opened it and aimed at him.
Violet had kept her eye on the copter and could see Sansweet and she was holding something. It was hard to see with all the dirt flying al over the place and the wind the copter was making was making it difficult to see. She shielded her eyes and squinted. When she saw that what she was clearly a gun, she quickly brought up a forcefield at the lest second. Of course her forcefield blocked out Hiro's ability and he was knocked out from the sudden loss of connection, causing him to pass out. She didn't know where the bullet went, but it didn't matter. She kept her field up until Sansweet was gone.
The sudden loss of connection had caused the helicopter to jerk back and a lot of the passengers lost balance. But their loss of control was temporary and soon, they were out. Just in time as the NSA were now arriving.
Violet dropped the field and joined her friends. Hiro was unconscious, but he looked to be okay. Lucky for them, the NSA had arrived and the guards that had been knocked out were coming to, but by the time they were fully aware, NSA officials were cuffing them and taking them away.
"We'll take it from here, kids." Rick Diker said as he approached them.
AN: Finally some action, huh? And two chapters at once! You're welcome!
And I feel I should explain how Violet's forcefield and Hiro's telekinesis works. It's just something I came up with. But, I like to think that when Hiro uses his telekinesis, while it's mostly mental, it's like there's a physical connection between him and whatever object he's using it on. Like an invisible string. He'll probably evolve out of that, but he's still learning. So when Violet created her forcefield it cut off that connection because it is technically a barrier between Hiro and the object. I don't know, it just makes sense to me.
But I think they'll eventually work on that. Just right now, they're still figuring out the full extent of their abilities.
And Sansweet, is my OC villain. She's the daughter of Oliver Sansweet, who was the man who sued Mr. Incredible for saving him, incase you didn't know. So yup, that's our big bad in this story. More on her soon. Maybe next chapter?
Well, Read, Enjoy, Review!
