Chapter 3

"Syndrome?!" Dash asked.

"Correct, little boy. You think I wouldn't recognize you as the Incredibles just because you tell everyone else you're fans that look like them?" Syndrome said.

"How is this possible?! Oh, what does it matter?" Helen asked as she threw a punch at him, only for her fist to go through his head.

"What in the?!" she asked before she was blown back by a sudden burst of cloud-like matter.

"Are you a-a-a-a-?!" Dash asked.

"Ghost? Yes, and unfortunately for you, I happen to be the kind that can't be touched by someone, but I can touch them!" Syndrome said before he punched Dash, sending him into a table. Helen dodged each one of his attacks, but was caught by his Zero-Point Energy and thrown into a light.

"Didn't I say you can't hit me?" Syndrome asked before he grabbed both of them with Zero-Point Energy and slammed them around like rag dolls.

When he threw them down, Helen whispered to Dash, "Dash, when he starts to attack, he might be solid. Let's try attacking him then."

"Right." Dash said before they watched as Syndrome readied another attack. They rushed at him, but they still couldn't hurt him. The struggle to land a hit went on for a long amount of time. Eventually, Syndrome caught the two again. They got sent flying into a window that led to another room.

"This stinks." Helen said

"How can we fight something when we can't even touch it?!" Dash asked.

At that point, Syndrome floated through the wall, but at the same time, a bulb fell off a shelf and onto his head.

"OW!" Syndrome said.

That got their attention. To test it, Dash picked up a piece of glass and threw it at Syndrome. It hit him and broke.

Dash and Helen looked surprised before they looked at several things around the room.

"Uh-oh." Syndrome said before they started beating on him with several objects everytime he tried to attack, which actually hurt him despite him being a ghost.

"Had enough, Syndrome?" Helen asked.

"Don't bet on it!" Syndrome said before he tried more attacks, only to get beaten by many different attacks. Eventually, Dash and Helen threw a large globe at Syndrome, sending pieces of him flying like bowling pins.

"Strike!" they said. Syndrome landed on the floor before he noticed a shelf about to fall on him. When it did, he rose as a cloud.

"Next Halloween, I'll get you for sure!" Syndrome said.

"I guess you could say that the ghost…" Helen said before she and Dash put on sunglasses.

"Got busted." Dash said.

(YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!)

(Based on CSI Miami.)

After finding the exit to the house, Dash and Helen returned home.

"Some Halloween, huh, Mom?" Dash said.

"Yeah." Helen said as they walked in the front door.

"Still, I had a lot of fun. This was a great Halloween!" Dash said.

"I'm glad to hear it, Dash." Helen said as they looked at the candy Dash had gotten.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
