Chapter 29: Discovery.
The robot soon came to a stop as it landed on a metal floor beside a bunch of other ones. Dash and Violet hopped down from its head and made their way through the deactivating metal-heads.
"Wow, whoever's behind this is serious, huh, Vi?" Dash whispered as they came to the end of the robots and saw a lit tunnel.
"Sure is, Dash." Violet replied as they snuck down the tunnel. They passed several glass doors and, looking through them, they saw many half-built robots and blueprints and battle plans. However, one robot in particular caught Dash's eye.
"Hey, Violet, come look at this." he said. Violet came over and saw that the robot Dash was looking at was colored green and resembled the Egg Dragoon from Sonic, the differences being that the drill on its left arm was much larger and the gun on its right was instead a giant cannon. The robot was also the size of an apartment building.
"Someone really has a lot of time on their hands." she said before the two kids heard approaching footsteps.
"Quick, hide!" Dash said. Violet turned herself invisible and Dash ran behind a pillar in the wall. Once the mysterious figure walked into the room and the door shut behind him, Dash and Violet snuck up to the window and, keeping low, looked through, seeing a short man dressed in green cloth with a cape attached to the back. He also had metal, three-fingered hands and a hat like construction workers wear when working in the dark.
Dash and Violet gasped before looking at each other and saying in unison, "The Underminer!" When the short villain looked at the door with a, "Hmm?" the two kids quickly ducked down.
The Underminer then looked at the robot and smirked evilly, "The Incredibles. How I hate them, and all of that loathing has been poured into this invincible instrument of destruction!" he said before laughing evilly.
"With this, I can finally crush them and conquer the world!"
Outside, Dash looked at Violet and said, "I'll bet he's the one behind these explosions! I'm going in!" before marching toward the door and rolling up his sleeve in a tough guy fashion before Violet grabbed his arm.
"Wait, Dash! You can't take that thing on alone!" she said with worry. Dash looked determined.
"Yes, I can!" Dash said as he jerked his arm away and, before Violet could stop him, stormed into the room.
"HEY!" Dash shouted, catching the Underminer's attention.
"Speed Demon!" the madman shouted. Dash then ran at him at full speed, only for the Underminer to lift up on a floating metal platform, making him stop in his tracks.
"Nice try, little boy. But let's see how long you last against this!" he said as he jumped into the cockpit and the robot rumbled to life. The Underminer laughed as he aimed the cannon at Dash and fired, only for Violet to get in front of him and shield them both with a force field.
"Miss Stealth!" the Underminer growled before smirking, "No matter. Crushing you both will be all the more satisfying!" he said before laughing. Dash and Violet looked at the crazed villain before they smirked at each other and gave other a thumbs-up.
