Chapter 22: A New Enemy Appears!
A few nights later, the Parrs were lounging around in the living room when the phone rang. Bob walked over and answered it.
"Hello? Oh, hi, Rick, what's happening?" he asked, catching his family's attention, except for Dash, who was still upset over the public's treatment of his superhero identity. After listening to the conversation for a while, Helen and Violet went into the kitchen.
"What is it, Bob?" asked Violet.
"Something's causing trouble downtown. Rick said all four of us need to go." Bob answered as everyone looked at Dash, who was just moping on the couch. Violet suddenly had a thought and smiled as she walked over to him.
"Hey, Dash, come with us. If you help us defeat this foe, you might just get your good image back." she said. Dash perked up and produced a wide smile.
"All right!" he yelled with excitement as the family went to change into their suits. A little bit later, the Incredibles arrived downtown and saw a huge crowd of people.
"What's happening?" Mr. Incredible asked, catching the crowd's attention.
Once they turned around and saw Speed Demon, their faces turned furious and they started pointing at him and shouting, "That little brat! I ought to tear him apart! I knew he was no good! After he destroyed my windows… He thinks he can play innocent after wrecking our flower pots?! " many of them were shouting, some looking ready to tear him to pieces.
"What are you guys talking about? I haven't been by here until today." Speed Demon protested.
"Don't you lie to us, you little monster!" a woman shouted. The rest of the Incredibles, especially Miss Stealth, were growing angry and were about to give the public a good lecture when suddenly, something caused an explosion on a roof behind them. A shadow jumped out of the smoke and landed in front of the Incredibles.
When the smoke cleared, the Incredibles were shocked to see… "Me?!" Speed Demon asked. It was in fact Speed Demon, matching the young Super in appearance, height, and everything else.
"The little family saviors. But, what's that I smell?" he asked in a mocking tone, doing an anime glasses push motion.
"So you're the one who's been ruining my son's good name. What exactly are you? One of Syndrome's leftover robots?" asked Mr. Incredible.
"That is none of your concern, and I refuse to reveal my master's name." Speed Demon 2 said before he dashed behind him and, before he or Elastigirl could act, started a super speed assault that left him and his wife heavily injured and unconscious. The duplicate then turned towards the kids and smirked.
"Sis, protect the civilians. I'll handle this." Speed Demon said as he ran after his devious duplicate.
"Good luck." Miss Stealth said before she ran off to protect civilians.
