I'm back! Here's Chapter Four of my story! Thanks to The Star Swordsman and covenantgruntslayer for reviewing. I feel so special...people like my story: ) Anyways, this is the action chapter...Team Dynamo's first assignment. Oh, just so you know, CB stands for Cat Burglar and means I was too lazy to type it out, and I am refering to Viomist and the Soaring Ghost by their real names, but they're in suits and everything. Enjoy!
They arrived at the huge mansion within 5 minutes and found the police waiting for them. The polic officer quickly explained the situation. Apparantly Mr. Ryder had been going downstairs at about one pm after having a nap and had found Cat Burglar there, stealing his wife's jewelry. He'd called for help, but Cat Burglar had been too quick. He'd jumped out the window and driven away with a squeal of tires.
"So that's all we know." said Chief Graham. "Cat Burglar's been laying low since he was discovered, but we're pretty sure he's waiting somewhere around here until things cool down. Then he'll probably break into their house again."
"Okay." said Elastigirl. She turned to The Dash, Mr. Incredible, Viomist, and the Soaring Ghost. "Dash, Mr. I, you guys come with me. We'll go scope out the city. Viomist and Ghost, you hold down the fort here and keep watch for Cat Burglar."
Vi and Mia sat on the grass. "So you think Cat Burglar's lurking somewhere around here?" asked Mia.
"Maybe." said Vi. "Keep your eyes peeled for anything suspicious."
As they casually talked, a tall, sinister villian was creeping up silently behind them. He was dressed all in black, with a black hood over his head that had holes cut for his eyes, which were dark and evil. He actually vaguely resembled a ninja.
Neither girl noticed until PegaSplash, who was grazing nearby, spotted him and whinnying loudly. This, of course, blew the villian's cover (horses' whinnies can be heard up to a mile away!) and the girls jumped up and got into their fighting stances.
The villian, who was of course Cat Burglar, spoke in a deep, sinister voice that had a slight accent to it. "Ah, yes, Team Dynamo. I had heard through the supervillian grapevine (AN: Don't laugh! There probably would be a supervillian grapevine!) that you were the new superteam, and to watch out for you. And here you are! I shall be the first - and last - villian to tangle with you! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Goody!" Here he began laughing hystarically, but his laugh didn't sound quite...er, normal. Vi and Mia looked at each other with skeptical looks on their faces. Maybe this would be easier then they thought. Cat Burglar sounded more like an escapee from the local funny farm than a serious supervillian.
CB got up and brandished a sword. "Now, who shall I dispose of first?" He began laughing like a maniac again. Mia took advantage of this by turning invisible, grabbing a stick, and smacking him upside the head with it. CB stopped laughing and clapped a hand over his head.
"Ouch, you little brat!" he yelped. "That hurt!" He twisted around to see who had hit him, but of course Mia was still invisible. "Where are you?"
Like I'd tell you, thought Mia. Do I look stupid? She grabbed a rock and pitched it toward CB. It promptly hit him in the head.
"OWWWWWW!" said CB, dropping his sword and clutching his head with both hands.
"You'll get more where that came from!" said Vi. She got ready to throw a force field around CB to contain him, but he grabbed his sword again and lunged toward her. Vi was too quick for him, though, and she managed to create a shield around herself before the sword could do any damage.
CB growled and moved toward Mia, who had reappeard again. "Well then, I guess I'll just eliminate you first!" But before he could, there was a rumble of hooves and PegaSplash galloped to the rescue! She rammed into CB, knocking him over. When he staggered up again, Splash charged toward him at full speed and practically trampled him into the ground. Cat Burglar was knocked unconcious and slumped on the grass.
"Good girl, Splash!" said Mia, running to her brave mare and throwing her arms around her neck. "You saved me!"
"Yes. Thank you." said Splash. "Boy, we were good, huh? (AN: Remember, Splash can talk!)
"Yeah." said Vi. She gave Splash a pat. "We make a great team."
Team Dynamo was recovering from the showdown when Chief Graham came back. He saw Cat Burglar lying unconcious and stopped. "Wow." he said, whistling. "Good job, girls."
Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and The Dash came straggling back too. "We didn't find anything." said Elastigirl. "We looked everywhere..." Then she saw the villian sprawled out on the ground. "What?..."
Mr. Incredible grinned. "They took him out themselves, that's what happened." He slapped the two girls on the back - gently, of course, so as not to injure them. "Great job!"
"Thanks." said Vi.
Team Dynamo was honored with a ceremony which the entire city attended the next day. They were presented with a golden plaque, which read
The City of Metroville
is greatful to
Team Dynamo
for keeping our fair city safe
and defeating the Cat Burglar.
It was signed by the mayor. Vi and Mia were excited, and they should have been on cloud nine by Monday.
But they weren't. Mia and Violet were depressed, because they had no chance of even being looked at by the boys of their dreams. They wanted so badly to be noticed by Tony and Sam, but they were pretty sure it would never happen.
Awww...poor girls! Sorry if it's sorta cheesy in parts - it's hard to write action, particuarly when you're doing it in the middle of Pre-Algebra and trying not to be noticed by your teacher! (Believe me, that was no picnic.) Well, only two chapters to go: the Violet/Tony and Mia/Sam. I'll update in a couple days, but only if you R&R!
