Chapter 6: Another Battle
By: Conan16
Bob and Helen returned home. Helen paid Jack-Jack's spooked babysitter.
"I'm telling you Mrs. Parr." The babysitter began. "That kid is...Well, I think he has special needs."
"Uh huh." Helen said pulling out a miniature device that looked like a camera.
"Um, how about a picture before you go?" She asked.
"Pardon?" The babysitter replied, but Helen already flashed the device.
The babysitter's pupils grew real big, then shrunk down to normal size.
"Where am I?" She asked.
Bob pulled a box of cookies out of the cabinet.
"Well, thanks again for these cookies ma'am." Helen said.
"Yeah! I love peanut butter cookies!" Bob added. "Helen you already paid her right?"
"Of course."
The babysitter looked down at the money in her hand confused as ever.
"Umm, ok. Thanks for your business...I guess." She said walking out the door.
Helen shut the door behind the girl.
"Well Bob, now what? There's a new super villain out there, plotting lord knows what, and we don't even have a hint of who he might be!"
Bob munched on a few of the cookies.
"Well, there's Lucifer." He said through a mouthful of crumbs.
"What about him?"
Bob swallowed the cookies and put the box away.
"Maybe he's working for this new villain...Or he is the new villain."
"Bob I don't think..." At that moment there was a knock at the door.
Helen answered it, but no one was there.
"Hmm." She mumbled. She looked down, and saw a small package on the doorstep. She picked it up and brought it inside.
When the door closed, a small chameleon crawled out from the shrubbery next to the door, and hid behind Bob's car. The chameleon turned into Minx.
She pushed a button on her watch.
"Minx to base. Objective two is complete." She said.
"Good work. You know what to do next." Tsarkon replied. "Keep the kids away from their parent's. The family is weaker if they aren't together."
"Got it." Minx transformed into a Gardner snake and slithered into a hole.
Helen brought the package to the kitchen table, and opened it.
"What's that?" Bob asked.
"I don't know. It was left on our doorstep." She replied.
Helen pulled out a message screen that resembled the one Bob got from Syndrome and Mirage last year.
"What's this?" She asked.
Almost as if to answer her question, the screen turned on.
Mirage was on the screen.
"Hey! That's that little hussy who..." Helen began, but Mirage started to speak.
"Hello Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl. It's been a while hasn't it?" She began.
"I'm afraid I'm in need of your assistance again. You see, one of Syndrome's older omnidroid prototypes has rebooted itself and come back to life."
Bob and Helen looked at each other in awe, and then back at the screen.
"Now you know Syndrome's gone, and I and my guards can't defeat it, so I'm asking you, as a favor, to please come to Nomanisan Island yourselves and stop it for me. If it's worth your effort, I'll gladly pay you for your services. You two can think about it, but please make a hasty decision. We don't have much time." With that, the picture of Mirage disappeared. Bob and Helen looked at each other again.
School was out, and Violet decided to walk home with Lucy.
"Man, that Biology test was kind of outta the blue." Lucy said.
"Yeah." Violet mumbled.
"Something wrong?"
"Huh? Oh, no I was just thinking. That's all." When she said that, Violet bumped into someone.
It was Tony.
"Oh. Sorry Vi." He said helping her up.
Violet didn't say anything.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah." Violet whispered.
Tony picked up a book Violet dropped and handed it to her.
"Well, I guess I'll see you around then." He waved, walking off.
Violet watched him take his leave.
She found it odd that even though it was windy, it didn't seem to mess up his brown hair.
"He must be wearing a lot of hair gel." Lucy joked.
"How'd you know what I was thinking?" Violet asked.
"Duh girl! You were thinking out loud."
Suddenly, a scream was heard off in the distance.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" A woman cried.
Violet looked around, the coast was clear.
Almost in unison, Lucy and Violet stripped their clothing revealing both their super suits. They put on their masks, as well as their gloves and shoes. When they were done changing, Fade and Deluge ran towards the cry for help.
Meanwhile, Dash was at another after school track meet.
He was stretching and getting ready to run.
"Hi Dash!" Bridgett greeted him.
Dash's face turned cherry red.
"H-h-hi." He stuttered.
Bridgett giggled.
"Good luck." She said.
"Racers on your mark." The coach cried.
Bridgett ran off to the side line.
"Ok Dash, she's watching. Don't blow it." Dash thought.
"Get set..."
All of a sudden Dash's legs went numb.
"Not again." He mumbled as he took off down the road next to the track field. Lucky for him, he was going so fast that no one saw him.
"G...Hey! Where's Dash?" The coach asked.
Helen tossed the message screen into the trash.
"But why not?" Bob asked.
"Because of what happened last time." Helen replied.
"Helen, there was nothing between us! I told you that a million times already!" Bob argued.
"I saw you hugging her, she was enjoying it, and so were you!"
"I hugged her because I was relived to find out that my family was still alive! And I had no idea that she was enjoying it!"
"Don't you start raising your voice to me Robert Parr!" Helen cried, her body stretched as she towered over him.
Jack-Jack started to cry.
Helen went over and picked him up.
She sighed.
"Look...The last time we were on Nomanisan Island, we nearly lost our lives. That was the most dangerous mission we've had. I don't want to risk the safety of our family like that again."
"Helen, we're a family of super heroes, facing danger like that is what we do...But if your really that worried about it, I'll go by myself."
"Why are you so anxious to help this woman?" Helen asked.
"Because she helped us. Remember?"
Helen sat Jack-Jack down.
"Fine, you can go and save her. But I'm coming too. I'll call another babysitter, and leave a note for the kids. We should be back by tomorrow right?"
Bob nodded.
"If we hurry."
"Ok. I'll call a babysitter, then I'll call Snug. Maybe he'll let me borrow another jet. If he's forgiven me about the last one."
Fade and Deluge reached their destination. The woman who cried for help was still in a state of panic.
"Oh supers! thank goodness you've come!" She said.
"What's wrong?" Fade asked.
"I saw I huge rattlesnake in my garden! I'm very afraid of snakes! Can you get it out for me?" She asked.
Fade and Deluge stood there gawking.
"Ma'am, we are not exterminators." Deluge said.
"Now the next time you cry for help, please make it a real emergency."
"Deluge, we mine as well help her. I mean, we went through the trouble of suiting up and running halfway across town just to get here." Fade said.
Deluge sighed.
She filled the snake hole with water and flushed the rattlesnake out.
The woman screamed and ran into her house.
"Careful! That snake is dangerous." Fade warned.
"I know." Deluge replied.
They heard a hissing kind of laugh from the snake.
"You don't know the half of it." The snake said. It transformed into Minx.
"Whoa now!" Fade and Deluge jumped back in surprise.
"Hello girls. Mind coming with me? My boss would be happy to meet you." Minx snickered.
"I think we'll pass." Fade replied.
"Suit yourself. I figured I'd have to do it the hard way."
Minx transformed into a copperhead snake, and lunged at Fade.
"Ahh!" Fade cried, and she threw up a force field around herself. Minx bounced off of it.
Deluge shot a blast of water at the snake, and it went soaring into the side of a tree,
and shaped back into Minx.
"Is that the best you got?" Deluge taunted.
"If all you can do is turn into snakes, then this battle is already over!"
Minx growled.
"I can do more than turn into snakes. I can turn into any type of reptile known to man, as well as a few that aren't." She said.
Fade dispersed her field.
"You still don't oppose a threat to us! Most reptiles aren't that dangerous." She said.
Minx grinned.
"Your thinking small aren't you girlie?"
Minx's dark green eyes turned gray, and she started to grow in length.
"I don't like the looks of this." Fade said, a little worried.
Minx made a full transformation into a Velociraptor. A small, yet still dangerous, carnivorous dinosaur.
She let out a growl, revealing her sharp, curved teeth.
"RUN!" Deluge cried, and the two super girls did just that.
But they weren't quick enough, as Velociraptors were fast dinosaurs.
Minx caught up to them and swung her tail, making the two girls crash into the asphalt.
She jumped into the air, and almost landed on the two of them, when Fade threw up another force field. It was enough to stop the Minx, but the dinosaur's might was almost to much for her to handle. Minx jumped up and down on the force field, trying to weaken it.
"Hang in there Fade!" Deluge cried.
"I...Can't...hold on...much longer!" Fade replied, using all her might to try and keep the field up.
Minx let out a sinister laugh.
"Leave them alone!" Someone else cried.
"Huh?" Minx, Fade, and Deluge looked to see who it was.
It was the same teen super that saved Fade a while back.
Minx turned back into a human.
"Who are you?" She cried in a demanding voice.
"I'm Ace, the invincible teen wonder." He replied. His voice sounded so mature for someone his age.
His super suit was made of some kind of green material. It looked like a type of mega mesh. His entire suit was dark green, except his gloves, boots, and mask which were navy blue. His mask covered the top of his head, his nose up, and the eye holes had multi functional lenses on them. They were capable of night vision, x-ray, and heat sensing. Printed across the chest of his suit was the word "Ace." in a violet color.
"I don't have time for a wannabe super!" Minx cried. "Now scram!"
"I will not walk away and let you harm these girls! If you want to do any thing to them, you'll have to beat me first." Ace cried.
Minx grinned.
"Heh heh heh, suit yourself." She concentrated hard, as her body slowly grew. She shape shifted into a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Whoa!" Ace cried looking up at his towering foe.
Fade dispersed her field.
"Hey! Get out of here before she kills you!" She cried to Ace.
"Nothing to worry about Fade! I got everything under cont..." At that moment Minx step on the new super.
Fade and Deluge looked away.
"Oh my god..." Fade whispered.
A loud roar like laugh came from the T-Rex Minx.
She moved her foot away, and five seconds later Ace stood up.
"Huh?" Minx roared, looking baffled at what she just saw. She went back to her human form.
"I don't know how you did that, but I'm not gonna let you get away with making me look like a fool!"
Ace chuckled.
"Ok, give me your best shot." He said.
Minx sneered at Ace. She turned into a Cottonmouth snake, and lunged herself, jaw wide open at the teen.
Ace chuckled, and extended his arm out for her.
Fade and Deluge, still flustered from what they saw earlier couldn't help but to stand there and watch.
As Minx met up with Ace's arm, she bit with all her might, into his flesh. But something was wrong. Her bite didn't puncture his skin, or leave a mark. In fact, one of her fang's cracked and fell out.
She went back to her human form, and she put her hands to her mouth.
"Aghhhh! Ow ow ow ow!..." Minx cried in pain.
She opened her mouth, and touched the area where her missing tooth was.
She let out a small moan.
Fade and Deluge knew this new super was on there side, so they ran up to join him.
"You ready to finish this?" Fade asked, as she and Deluge had their hands up, ready to fight.
Still touching her sore mouth, Minx looked the three of them over.
"You won this battle. But trust me, the war has just begun." She pushed a button on her watch, opening up a black porthole beneath her. She fell in, making a hasty retreat.
"She's gone!" Deluge cried.
"Let her go...For now." Fade replied.
Fade and Deluge turned to their new friend.
"That was some awesome fighting." Fade said.
Ace looked at her.
"Really? I never had to move from this spot. She was the one who did all the work." He joked.
"So, your super power is?" Deluge asked.
"You couldn't tell? I'm indestructible. Nothing can penetrate my skin, crush my bones, or...Umm, anything else that might harm a human." Ace explained. "I still get sick though...That kinda sucks."
Fade let out a giggle. She didn't know why, because what Ace said wasn't that funny. She just couldn't help it.
"I...Never thanked you for saving my life the other day." She said.
Ace grinned at her.
"Hey! Don't mention it." He said.
Back at the Parr residence, Bob and Helen were rushing around trying to hurry.
"Bob! I couldn't get a hold of Jack-Jack's babysitter!" Helen cried from the other room.
"Well, we need a babysitter." Bob replied.
"That's ok! I called Honey and she agreed to watch Jack-Jack while we're away. Lucius is on his way to come and get him."
Helen grabbed a pen, and some paper to write a note for her kids. The note said:
Your father and I had to make an emergency trip
to help out a friend on Nomanisan Island, we'll be
back by tomorrow. Your brother is over at a friends
house. There's leftover's in the fridge, get to bed on
time.
Love, mom and dad.
"Helen! Lucius is here! Let's go!" Bob cried.
Helen put the note on the refrigerator where the kids could read it, and met up with Bob and Lucius, Jack-Jack in hand.
"Hello Lucius. Tell your wife I said thanks for keeping an eye on Jack-Jack. Just be careful, he's a real handful at this age." Helen said. She handed Jack-Jack over to Lucius.
"Don't worry about a thing Helen. Honey and I have everything under control." The four of them left the house, and were walking to Bob's car.
"So were are you two heading on such short notice?" Lucius asked.
"To Nomanisan Island. A friend of ours is in trouble there." Bob replied.
"She says that an old omnidroid that Syndrome built is on the loose, we have to go and stop it."
"No kidding? You mean a real challenge? There's no way I'm missing this!" Lucius cried.
"Tell you what, I'll drop Jack-Jack off at my house, and meet up with you two at the airport. Will that be ok?"
Bob and Helen shrugged.
"I don't see why not." Bob said.
"Yeah, we could always use another professional supers help."
"Great! See you guys at the airport then!" Lucius cried running to his car.
"Lucius! We'll be at Snug's hanger! That's the fifth one to the left of the fueling station!' Helen cried.
"You got it." Lucius hollered back.
Meanwhile on Nomanisan island.
Mirage was sitting at her dinning table, her head was in her hands.
"What have I done?" She whispered.
"I just sent Mr. Incredible and invitation to his doom."
Tsarkon chuckled.
"I don't see anything wrong with that." He said.
Tsarkon was about to walk out of the room, when he stopped.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot." He turned to Mirage.
"This is a very nice Island...I'll take it." He chuckled. At that moment, Lucifer, Minx and Knave walked in the room and stood next to Tsarkon.
Mirage stared at the group, and sighed. She knew she had no choice.
Tsarkon chuckled.
"Lock her up!" He ordered as he left the room. "As for me, I have some henchmen to brainwash, and some plans to make for my guest."
