Chapter 2: Mirage's Regiment.
The next day, Mirage went on a mission with the Incredibles to fight the Underminer and they were pretty close to his lair.
"Okay, is everyone ready?" Mr. Incredible asked. The others nodded. Mirage snuck around back and waited by the back door, just like Mr. Incredible had told her to. She heard the Underminer run towards the back door. She waited until the Underminer ran out the back door and punched him from the side.
"You shall pay for that!" The Underminer said as he swung at her, only for her to duck and punch him again. She then attempted a second one, only for him to easily push her back, even with her strength. She then watched as the rest of the Incredibles chased after him.
Some time later, Mirage was in a fight with the Anchorman and just about had him beat unconscious, but she was swept away by his giant anchor, which sent her into a pile of souvenir stands near the dock. She then watched as Superioria came down and dealt with him easy, knocking him out with a single punch to the face.
"Still got a lot of work to do." Superioria said, making Mirage angry.
The next time was worse. Mirage and the Incredibles were just about ready to finish off a robot villain and Mirage was ready to use her strength to finish him off, only for her to get sent back a bit when it collided punches with her before she tried to lift it, only to make little progress as it reversed the throw and sent her flying into a pile of card racks. When Superioria showed up and stole Dash's attention, much to her (Superioria) exasperation and Mirage's anger, that was it.
"That's it! I need to make myself tougher!" Mirage said.
A couple of days later, Mirage was at her house ready to take on more exercise. She took a deep breath before she went into her training room.
"Let's just see Superioria take away Dash's admiration once I start training." Mirage said before she grabbed two 20 pound weights before she started lifting. She lifted for about thirty minutes before she set down her weights and took a break before she lifted weights of 40 pounds. She flexed and smiled at seeing her muscles a little bigger.
"This IS going to pay off." she said before she called it a night.
The next evening, Mirage started lifting 50 pounds and then moved onto 60 the next night. She then started hitting a punching bag, which was torn apart in a matter of three minutes. She then went back to lifting weights and moved onto 75 pounds two nights later.
"I can feel that blood moving!" Mirage said as she lifted weights of about 80 pounds.
"Just wait till Dash watches me beat Superioria with this kind of strength! He'll be so impressed!" Mirage said as she imagined going against Superioria in arm wrestling and winning.
"Aunt Mirage, you are awesome!" Imaginary Dash shouted, jumping up and down before he hugged her, earning a hug right back.
The next day, Mirage really stepped up her game. She lifted weights of 90 pounds for about 20 minutes before she took a long break, and then went back to start lifting one hundred pounds.
"Okay, here goes." Mirage said before she picked up the giant weight with both hands and struggled to lift it over her head.
"Come on, Mirage, do it for yourself! Do it for Dash!" she said before she imagined out-flexing Superioria and lifting more than her.
"Aunt Mirage, you're much cooler than Superioria!" Imaginary Dash said.
At that point, Mirage lifted the weight over her head and lifted the weight for a right good while before she decided to call it a night, but first, decided to test her strength out on a punching bag. She gave it a powerful punch and watched as the sand fell out of it through a hole almost instantly.
"All right!" Mirage said as she flexed and saw she had gained quite a lot of muscle since she started her workout.
"Just wait until Superioria gets a load of me now! Then, we'll see who's the best!" Mirage said before she decided to call it a night on her workout and went to go get a drink. Once she took a big sip of Sun Drop, she let out a loud burp.
"She may be good at burps, too, but we'll just see how good she is when I step up my game a bit." Mirage said before she imagined a burping contest against Superioria which she won by making a burp so loud, it broke every single window in the city of Metroville.
"Aunt Mirage, you so totally rock! Superioria can't compare to you!" Imaginary Dash said as he ran and hugged her.
"Nothing but the best to impress my little nephew!" Imaginary Mirage said as she hugged him back.
Mirage smirked as she pictured the downfall of Superioria as she stood over her, victorious, with Dash by her side.
