This is my first fic, so if it sux, please tell me!!
The Dash
Violet leaped forward to dodge the metal spike but it grazed her arm. She yelled in surprise but did not hesitate to lash out at the machine with her foot. It reeled backwards in shock. Violet let out a cry of triumph and disappeared.
Bob and Helen watched with interest as Violet defeated the monster easily. The simulation terminated just as Violet was brushing herself off. They gave her thumbs up.
"You see I designed this simulation to train superheroes. I can choose the challenge and the difficulty of the simulation. If I decide to set the challenge in an active volcano then in an active volcano it will be. I can turn it into an endless desert then you can run for miles and miles and you will never reach the end.
Next is your son, Dash. I have set him a rather difficult one, as he is a quick learner," Edna drawled. Dash was standing inside the room, waiting for it to change. They watched as the room began to change into an island. They could still see their son, waiting impatiently for something to happen.
"I have trained medics waiting outside in case there is any serious injuries," Edna drawled. Violet rolled her eyes.
"Great, the little insect is going to fail and we'll have to do it all over again," she groaned.
"Have a little faith in your brother!!" Helen scolded.
Dash was looking around, only slightly alert. Why wasn't anything happening?? There was a swishing sound and just in time he ducked as a huge, sharp boomerang came slicing through the air.
"That could have taken his head off!!" Helen cried. Edna sniffed.
"The boomerang would not have done anything whatsoever. It would have turned to jelly the moment it made contact with his skin. Now for the bullets and lasers...I don't think they'll have the same effect," she said nasally.
Dash turned around and saw three UFO shaped planes darting towards him. He broke off in a run, dodging trees, stumps, plants, vines and anything in his way. The planes were making loud buzzing noises behind him that were slowly fading. He turned behind him and saw that they were gone. He turned back and screamed just as he tripped over a stump. He went flying forward and stumbled, rolling forward, trees tearing at him, branches grabbing him roughly.
He landed in the mud, spitting out leaves and mud but was back on his feet when he heard the buzzing noise come closer. He ran faster than ever, pumping his legs to go faster.
"Come on come on!!" Bob encouraged loudly. Helen and Violet were cheering him on loudly.
Dash turned behind him quickly and saw that they were gaining on him. He turned back and saw that he was heading straight for a tree. Then, in just five seconds he ran straight up the tree and pushed off it, flipping backwards. In midair he twisted around and started to run in the other direction. At that exact moment the jet crashed into the tree, blasting him forwards.
"All right!! Neat trick!!" Violet screamed, urging him forward.
He ducked as a plane flew over him. He was heading straight for the sea. He leaned forward and felt his feet touch the water. He was skimming lightly over the water. He grinned gleefully. Suddenly he heard the sound of shooting. He turned back and saw that they were shooting lasers at him. He turned back. He was heading straight for another plane. He felt something hit his leg and he fell. A stinging pain came over him and he heard the two planes crash into each other noisily. He swam back up to the surface and pulled himself onto a wet rock, panting.
"He's going to make it!!" Violet screamed.
Dash ran forward towards land when he saw a huge cliff looming up ahead. His eyes widened and he determinedly leaned forward and went faster.
"He's going to crash!!" Helen screamed.
Dash saw the wall come nearer and at that exact moment he put his foot in front of him and started to run up the cliff.
They gaped in astonishment as he ran straight up the steep cliff.
"Amazing!!" Helen whispered. But then something was wrong.
Dash felt dizzy all of a sudden. He stopped running and felt himself falling. He was falling. He felt the wind rushing past him. He was falling quicker now. Then everything was black.
