Chapter 53: 2 Months Ago…
An alarm blared loudly as Dash ran across the sandy beaches of Simanitarian Island into a guard-filled area.
"We have an intruder! Mr. Incredible's boy has entered the facility! Intercept and crush that blasted kid!" Xerek's voice shouted over a loudspeaker as a band of guards rushed at Dash, only for him to effortlessly knock them out, while narrowly avoiding getting KO'd or tasered by them. He brushed his nose arrogantly before rushing further into enemy territory and coming face to face with a squad of goons, who looked pretty well-trained and were driving Velocipods.
"Slice him!" the one at the front of the pack called as they raced towards him, only for him to speed away at the last second and cause all of them to collide and explode, knocking out and injuring the pilots. Dash smirked before he rushed through the jungle, defeating several more mooks along the way, and came out near a giant dome-like building.
"NO! He's made it! If this gets destroyed, I won't have anything left! Is there anyone left out there?!" Xerek said frantically.
As Dash neared, he heard Xerek say, "Hey, you! You're leader of Squad Killer, aren't you? Your squad was pathetic! Crush that little brat or it's coming out of your paycheck!" As he was saying this, one last Velocipod piloted by a tall soldier neared.
"Yes, sir." he said as he stopped in front of Dash.
"You. You crushed my squad! I'll show you why they call me Syndrome's Ultimate Henchman!" he shouted in anger as he rushed at Dash only for the young Super to super speed away, the soldier quickly giving chase. Dash ran into the jungle before running up a tree and jumping down and punching the soldier square in the face, knocking him silly and causing him to lose control of the Velocipod as it flew into a tree and exploded, sending him flying and causing him great pain as he landed on the ground.
"That was pathetic. Don't ever let The Great Dash see your sorry face again!" Dash said with extreme arrogance before he dashed off. As he did, he failed to notice the soldier get back up. The soldier looked at his hand and saw it was trembling.
"What?! I'm shaking?! Me, afraid of a kid?!" he asked himself as he covered his face with the hand.
"Pathetic?! He's calling ME weak?! No, I'm not weak! I am NOT WEAK! I AM NOT WEAK!" the soldier shouted to the skies. After a few weeks following that day, the soldier put himself under more intense training and gathered technology to manufacture more Velocipods, all the while, watching Dash and Violet's battles and planning vengeance on Dash and him alone.
