Mall Brawl

As the days went by, Michael's intuition grew more and more. More articles about Senator Pine's hatred and distrust to Supers would appear in the paper everyday. Violet couldn't help but worry about him. Finally, she finally decided to talk to him.

"Michael?" she wondered on a Saturday morning.

He turned. "Hi Violet. What's up?"

"Well, I wanted to ask you. Are you okay? I mean, every time I look at you, you always stare at a newspaper."

"Sorry Vi." He apologized. "It's just that, this guy really hates us, and I believe he will do anything to wipe us from the face of the earth." Michael looked back at the article. "I get this weird feeling that something bad is going to happen."

Violet gave her brother a little hug. "Don't worry Michael. My mom once asked me before, "We're Super Heroes. What can happen?", besides we are going to the mall right now. Come on. Let's get this off your mind."

Michael and Violet walked out of the house and went to the car, where the rest of the family was waiting. The Parrs drove over to Metroville's Grand Mall. It was big, for an indoor mall. Once inside, the family went and dispersed their separate directions. Violet went to a nearby clothing store, Bob and Dash went to a place where they sell sports equipment department, Helen took Jack-Jack to get some baby toys because the baby Parr destroyed his old ones, and Michael went to one department where they sold swords. Michael went in and gazed at the displayed swords.

"Can I help ya kid?" asked the store clerk.

"Yes, you got a Dragon Broadsword, blade made of solid durable steel, 42 inches, handle made of solid platinum?" he described very quickly.

Surprised, the clerk just gave a sigh. "Look kid. I got good news, and some bad news. The good news is: yes, I have just what you are looking for."

"Great! So, can I see it?"

"Well, that's the bad news." The clerk pointed to a little sign. "It says, "must be at least 18 to purchase or handle the swords."

"Oh . . . sorry, I guess I'll be leaving now." Michael turned and left. He was on his way out the door, when he saw a swarm of seventeen SWAT soldiers surrounding him. Each soldier had a machine gun. People around started to panic and scatter out of the mall.

"Are you Michael Parr?" asked one of the troops.

"Uh . . . yeah." He answered, backing into the shop he just exited.

"Come quietly with us kid, and no one gets hurt." He commanded, pointing his gun at the Parr.

Michael slowly retreated, until he found a sword on the ground. He carefully placed both feet underneath the sword.

"You know, you might want to point those guns somewhere else." He said. "By the way, if anyone here is going to get hurt, it would be you guys."

At that moment, Michael jumped and brought the sword into his grasp. The SWAT soldiers fired at the armed boy. Michael deflected all the bullets with his sword, deflecting them on to glass cases, and other fragile stuff. When he got the chance, Michael jumped behind the counter, throwing his sword into a soldier's body. The troops fired their SMGs at Michael, who was behind the counter. He quickly slipped on his Super Suit, placed on his helmet, strapped on his cape, and strapped on his sword. He transformed both his hands into blazing Fire Swords. He jumped over the counter and started to spin as fast as he could. From the soldier's perspective, he looked like an oncoming fiery propeller. As he got closer, the soldiers got a little tense. Michael, now Valor, slashed his Fire Swords at some of the soldiers. Their outfit caught on fire. While some were repeating the process of stop-drop-roll, Valor slashed his Fire Swords at the troops' SMGs. The machine guns ignited in flames. The troops dropped their blazed guns and retreated. Valor reverted his hands and exited the sword shop. He looked around the deserted mall. He remembered something.

"Violet." He thought, running to the department she was in.


Meanwhile;

"Hmm, I wonder if Tony will love this."

Violet, browsing at some clothes, did not notice people eluding the store. Suddenly, she heard a person speak to her. She turned around and saw about twenty troops pointing machine guns at her

"Violet Parr, come quietly with us and no one gets hurt."

"What did I do? Why are you arresting me?"

"Look kid. We're just doing our job. Now come with us." One troop commanded. Violet just froze. "I SAID COME WITH US!"

Violet stayed frozen. The troops started to fire at her. Violet had no choice but to form a force field around her. The bullets ricocheted off the field and dispersed everywhere. She winced but still kept the force field up. She later turned invisible and ran into the changing room.

"Search this entire area." commanded one troop.

As the soldiers searched, Violet slipped into her purple super suit and put on her mask. She left the changing room, only to see a troop pointing his SMG right at her body. She was petrified. Violet, now Invisigirl, looked at her hands. They were perfectly invisible. Still, she was terrified by the fact that a gun was pointed right at her.

"Sir, she isn't here anymore. We can't find her anywhere." said a soldier, pointing his gun somewhere else.

"Impossible, she must be in here." said a troop. "It's not like she is invisible, even to our technology. After all, we have our heat-seeking goggles . . . "

The troop was interrupted with a sharp kick from Invisigirl to the chin. The troop was sent to the ground. The other troops saw this and pointed their guns to the area around the fallen troop.

"Fire you idiots, Invisigirl is here."

The troops didn't comply. Instead, they just looked and sighed at their fallen comrade.

"Uh sir, we have infrared goggles. There is no possible way that Invisigirl can be here." said a troop.

While the troops were busy arguing, an invisible Invisigirl slipped out of the store. Once she exited and materialized, she saw her entire family fighting off the SWAT troops. Suddenly, Dash came up to her, carrying Jack-Jack in his arms.

"Violet, there are troops everywhere. What do we do?"

"Dash, run and take Jack-Jack and find a safe place for him."

In a blink of an eye, Dash sprinted as fast as he could out of the mall, carrying Jack-Jack in his arms. Invisigirl turned and saw many troops approaching her. She was about to turn invisible went Valor jumped in front of her and took out his V Sword. The troops rapidly fired their SMGs at the two Supers. Valor blocked all the bullets with his blade and Invisigirl with her force field. Valor ran toward the soldiers and slashed at their bodies, wounding them. Invisigirl kicked one SWAT troop in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Valor continued to slash some more at some soldiers, but every time more soldiers fall, even more would take its place. Still, Valor and Invisigirl kept attacking. Valor just slashed at a soldier's body, then a kick to Valor's chin sent him to the ground. Invisigirl ran to his aid. The troops aimed their machine guns at the two Supers. Invisigirl was about to form a field around herself and Valor, until she saw a car hurling toward them.

"Vi, look out!" Valor screamed. He rolled out of the way and his sister ran.

The car landed on top of many troops. Valor and Invisigirl looked up and saw that it was their dad, Mr. Incredible, who hurled the car. Valor ran toward his parents, slashing at every troop who blocked his way. Invisigirl followed after him.

"Dad!" both proclaimed.

"Hey kids, looks like you could use some help."

The troops ran to the family. Elastigirl stretched both her arms and ran toward the troops. She gave all of them a very big clothesline. All the troops retracted and fell. The other three supers ran toward the fallen soldiers. Valor slashed his V Sword at the troops. Some soldiers got on their feet and shot their SMGs at Valor. Invisigirl provided her brother protection with a force field to block all of the bullets. Mr. Incredible managed to avoid all the barrage of bullets fired at him. He jumped over the shooting soldiers. He later gave an incredible punch to all the soldiers. After he knocked out all of the troops, he and his family regrouped. They looked at the regrouping troops.

"Hey guys, you want some more?" asked Valor. "Cause if you do, we got plenty more for you guys."

"That will be enough for the day." said a voice. The troops parted and Senator Bernard Pine emerged. The family was taken aback.

"Senator? What are you doing here?" asked Elastigirl.

"I just came here to do my job. What are you, a family of Supers, doing here? Planning to rob some of the stores?"

"We just came here to do some shopping and a little family time." answered Invisigirl. "We aren't here to . . . "

"LIAR!" shouted Senator Pine.

"Dude, what is your problem?" asked Valor, approaching Senator Pine. The troops raised and aimed their SMGs at the advancing Super, but Senator waved a hand signaling them to lower their weapons. Valor went right on talking. "Why do you keep trying to make us go back into hiding? What is it about Supers that you despise so much?"

"You Supers know why I do this." Valor responded by shaking his head. Senator Pine continued. "The world is better off without you ruining our day."

"What are you talking about?" inquired Invisigirl.

"Fools, are you Supers more feebleminded than us humans are?" he started to leave. "One day, you supers will pay for what you did."

As the troops left the messed up mall, Valor and Invisigirl looked at the mess they made because of the brawl.

"Mom, dad, what did we do to him that makes him act this way?" asked Invisigirl.

"Honey, when I threw that car to Syndrome's plane, well . . . we'll talk later. For now, let's get out of here."

As the family drove home, Michael and Violet looked over the horizon. They didn't know what was going to happen, but they know this. Senator Bernard Pine is a vindictive person, and he will do anything to rid all Supers from the earth.
