Only Time Keeps Us Apart

That dream he just had had felt so real. He felt himself get knocked out. He also remembering being with Violet. Had all of this been a dream and now he was just waking up from it. He slowly lifted his eyelids, which was difficult as they felt heavy. As his eyes started opening and his vision was clearing up his body started aching and instead of being on his bed, he felt himself being hanged by his arms and legs.

From then he realised it wasn't a dream and that it really did happen he looked around and Violet was next to him staring ahead. He turned to where she was facing and a big-haired man was in front of them smiling evilly. He looked worse than the Bowler Hat Guy. He had orange hair that looked like a candle to him and he wore a black suit with a huge 'S' on it. Like Invisigirl he wore a black mask.

"I see your boyfriend is now awake." he said. His voice sounded young, but cruel. Like a school yard bully. He sounded like an Evil Dave from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

"But for who knows how long." he began pacing. "I will complete Operation Kronos and this time I'll get it right." A clanking noise was heard echoing through the room. It wasn't making the ache's get any better.

"And you plan to destroy us." Violet said keeping a straight face.

"I need to get rid of anyone who interferes." he said holding his hands up.

"But everyone knows you're a villain. No one will want your help."

"Everyone always says that people can change. I'll just prove to them I can." He started walking again and the clanking noise came back. He then realised it was his left leg. He had a mechanical leg. What happened there?

It didn't seemed he knew of how they escaped him the last time. This room, although a lot smaller looked similar to his last lair. His mechanical leg had caught her notice. It must've happen after their last encounter when they blew up his plane. Like everyone else she thought he died in that explosion. He somehow managed to survive…well most of him.

He continued monologing for another few minutes. If he learnt anything monologing is how the hero escapes and defeats the villain.

"You're just bait and the real prize is your father." said Syndrome.

"He defeated you once, he can do it again." she shot back to him.

"This time I'll be ready." he looked at her threateningly, then moved his view to Wilbur.

"I've been watching you since you started talking to her and a time machine does come in handy." he grinned.

"You can't use that!" he struggled to get out of his cuffs. "You'll alter the time stream."

Syndrome just shrugged. "Only enough to get rid of The Incredibles." he chuckled and walked away. His laugh echoing through the room mixed with echo of his metal foot.

"This is all my fault." Wilbur said lowering his head. Violet slowly turned to look at him.

"No it isn't. You just got caught in something I was partially responsible for."

"But he knows about the time machine because of me. He'll alter your existence and I know what that feels like."

Violet sighed. "I promise we'll get out and then we can figure out if there will ever be us."

Wilbur needed that small ray of hope. He knew she wouldn't make it out alive, but it was better to have known her than to not have heard of her at all. "So how do we escape?"

Violet smiled. "If he designed this thing like last time than…" she created a field around her and she rolled off the beams and stopped in front of the control switch. "Some people never learn.' she said and pressed the red button. Wilbur was ready for that and landed on the ground. They headed out and continued down the corridor.

"Where are we going?" asked Wilbur trailing behind her.

"I have no idea. This use to be the base of another foe of ours but I never got round to seeing it." she said. "I'm just hoping we stop Syndrome in time before he alters the time stream."

She suddenly stopped and grabbed him and they hid in a small gap between the wall. A guard walked passed them and he was in front of them for a moment.

"Huh?" the guard said confused and looked in the small gap. Nothing. He scratched his head. He could've sworn he saw something. No matter probably his imagine and he continued down the corridor.

Wilbur and Violet reappeared once he was out of sight. "How you do that is…amazing." Wilbur said to her. She smiled back at him.

"Yeah but who knows how long I can keep it up."

"Can't you stay invisible as long as you want?"

"No. For a few hours maybe. It's just that when I turn more than myself invisible it uses a lot of concentration and…"

"It tires you out." Wilbur finished for her.

"Yeah." she said. "So we're going to need to keep a low profile."

"Hey!" they were spotted and due to Wilbur's quick thinking he quickly knocked down the guard.

"Wow a guy who knows karate." Violet giggled.

"We better go." he said when they heard footsteps.

"Right." Violet stopped and ran off with him.

The footsteps sounded faster and faster as if they were catching up to them.

"We can't outrun them." Violet stopped and turned around ready and BAM! Something had hit her force field.

"Hey no force fields!" Violet recognised that voice.

"Dash?"

"Yeah. I thought I saw you and tried to follow. But what gives?" he said rubbing his head.

"Sorry we thought you were a guard." she smiled sheepishly.

"Hey Dash! You just left me." said Jack-Jack who was panting once he caught up to them. He suddenly had enough energy when he saw Violet. "Violet!" he said excitedly and hugged her. She returned the hug.

"We better go find mom and dad and get out of here." Dash said.

"We can't." Violet shook her head.

"Why not?"

"Because Syndrome's going to use a time machine to alter time."

"Syndrome? I thought he was d.."

"We all did."

"I think I should mention that your boyfriends parents are here too looking for him." Dash pointed out.

"What?" Wilbur said shocked.

"You heard me pointy hair. They're with mom and dad looking for the both of yous."

The four kids kept dodging the guards and hoped that hey would either find the time machine or their parents.

"Can't you just use your parents time machine?" asked Dash.

"The problem with that is that even if we had it we don't exactly know when or where he'll travel."

"oh." Dash frowned. That could've made things a lot easier for them.

It was a maze down here. It felt as if they had gone around in circles at least a dozen times. There didn't seem to be many guards however. Syndrome must've not been able to hire henchmen.

"I'm tired." Whined Jack-Jack.

"I'm not carrying you anymore. You slow me down." Dash said backing away.

"Baby." Violet rolled her eyes.

"I'll do it." Wilbur volunteered.

"You really don't have too." Violet said.

"Yeah but it gives me something to do. And you need all the strength you can get if we're gonna stop this Cinderella guy."

"Syndrome and thanks." she smirked at him.

When Wilbur placed Jack-Jack on his back he saw that he resembled someone he knew from his time. He wondered who?

AN: Told you there will be Willet here and Syndrome's back oh joy *sarcastic cheer* I wonder if you got my AATC reference. XD
