Chapter 19: Preventing A Crisis Of Epic Proportions!
"System alert! System alert! The intruder has breached the system area! Initiate debug program!" a mechanical voice shouted as Edna dropped down a shaft and blasted through a security door in a robot battle suit she had packed. She shot a fleet of robots that stood in her way before progressing to a room with a rotating spike ball duo.
"All right, Edna! Now, destroy the security door leading to the Cannon's Core." said Rick through a transceiver that was in her ear. After making her way past many other security guards and robots, Edna arrived at a large room with a security door at the back.
"Okay, Edna! There should be a security door somewhere in the room! You need to destroy it!" said Rick. Edna made her way up to the door and blasted it with missiles until it was wrecked.
Rick went through while saying, "All right! Now, it's my turn!" and into another part of the station, using his own battle suit, and started by making his way down a long shaft full of security lasers and robots that he narrowly managed to avoid. He then arrived at another room with a security door at the back.
"Great, Mr. Dicker! There should be a security door somewhere in this room!" Edna said through the earpiece as Rick made his way to the door and blasted it open.
In the next part of the station, Mirage and Elastigirl were facing a large security dome with a giant switch inside. The transceiver inside Mirage's ear rang. She tapped it, "Hello?"
"Mirage! Elastigirl! There should be an emergency switch in the dome to drain the liquid out of the core! See if you can find it." Rick said.
Mirage looked around before she pointed at a corridor, "I'll bet we can find the switch to open this dome if we head down there!" she said.
"All right!" said Elastigirl as the two of them ran down the corridor, fought their way through numerous robots and guards and finally arrived at a room with a big white lever.
Elastigirl pulled it. In the main room, the dome around the big switch opened, "Good job, girls! Hurry, throw the switch and drain the liquid!" Rick said through the transceiver. The two girls hurried back and pressed the switch.
Once a door on an upper level opened to drain the liquid, the two girls exchanged smiles and a high-five as the mechanical voice said, "System alert! System alert! Energy core safe program terminated! Cell prepare program initializing!"
Once the pool was completely full and the two girls swam to safety, Mr. Incredible and Frozone were contacted by Rick.
"Mr. Incredible, Frozone! Can you hear me? The last security door to the core should be in front of you! Find the switch that opens the door!" Mr. Incredible and his old acquaintance dove in and found a switch to deactivate the lasers guarding the path they needed to follow.
Once they swam down a corridor and ended up in a room where they quickly took care of many scuba gear wearing guards, Rick notified them of an important update, "You two! I found the switch on radar. The security door control switch is accessible from the waterway over there." After deactivating the security lasers, Mr. Incredible and Frozone pressed the switch, opening the final security door in the room they started in.
"System alert! System alert! Primary lock system terminated! Initiate final defense systems!" the mechanical voice shouted one last time as Dash and Violet ran through the open door and slid down a rail, "Dash! Violet! Get past the energy field to get to the core. You're our last chance. We're depending on you!" Rick said through the transceiver as the two siblings made their way across a huge gap and then through a bunch of enemies before making it to another rail.
"Kids! You should have cleared the electrical disturbance. It's all up to you now!" Rick said as Dash and Violet slid down a long slide of core liquid all the way to the Cannon's Core.
"We did it!" the two kids shouted as they high-fived. Xerek, who was watching from another room, was furious.
"It's just like people say, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!" he yelled as he ran off. Back in the core, a low rumble echoed.
"What's that?!" asked Dash in alarm before they were both blinded by a bright flash of light.
