Chapter 9: More Supers Captured
By: Conan 16
Author's Note: It's very late, and I'm half awake. Please overlook any spelling errors.
Plasma beams crashed into the sand making the little grains fly all over. Lucifer grew impatient as his shots kept on missing the supers.
Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone hid behind a giant boulder. Each of them were panting and exhausted from dodging Lucifer's attacks.
"He seems stronger then usual." Elastigirl said.
"It's because his powers are fueled with anger and hatred." Mr. Incredible replied.
"We have to find a way to stop him." Frozone mumbled.
Lucifer looked around for his targets.
"What's this about? From what I've heard, you three are some of the world's greatest super heroes. So why are you hiding from me? Am I actually to strong for you?" He taunted.
Mr. Incredible thought for a moment.
"...Ok, all we have to do is tire him out and make our move when he's weary. Frozone, Elastigirl, can you two distract him long enough for me to bust this boulder into smaller stones?"
Both of them nodded.
"Great...Now on my mark."
But it was to late. Lucifer had found the three of them, and shot the boulder they were behind to smithereens.
"Either come with me quietly...Or say your prayers." Lucifer threatened.
"New plan! ATTACK!" Mr. Incredible cried, and the three of them ran straight at Lucifer. Mr. Incredible cupped his hands over Lucifer's, and was just about to toss him when Lucifer shot his plasma beams. Mr. Incredible fell to the ground. Elastigirl wrapped her arms around Lucifer's legs, and tripped him. Lucifer countered Elastigirl's attack, by kicking her legs and knocking her off balance.
Frozone froze Lucifer's hands over, and punched him in the face.
Mr. Incredible lunged at the enemy from behind and threw him down.
Lucifer let out a growl, his plasma beams melted the ice on his hands, and he shot plasma beams at Mr. Incredible and Frozone. The two supers went flying.
Elastigirl punched Lucifer in the gut, and kicked him against a tree. She tied his hands with her arms, and his legs with her legs. Lucifer began to struggle for freedom.
"Let me go wench!" He cried. "LET ME G..."
Lucifer was interrupted by a stone that smacked him across the cheek.
"Got him!" Mr. Incredible cried.
Lucifer could feel small trickles of blood run down his face.
Elastigirl heard a small demonic growl inside Lucifer's throat, as his eyes began to glow red.
Before she could make another move, Lucifer forced his arms and legs free.
Mr. Incredible and Frozone saw this as they dropped the stones they were getting ready to cast, and ran to help Elastigirl.
Elastigirl tried to move out of the way before Lucifer attacked, but she wasn't quick enough as he snagged her and cupped his hand over her face.
"If anybody makes one more move!..." He cried through deep, heavy breaths.
"You can kiss your precious Elastigirl goodbye!"
With that, Mr. Incredible and Frozone stopped in their tracks.
Lucifer began to back away slowly, Elastigirl in hand.
"Where are you taking her!" Mr. Incredible asked.
Lucifer didn't say anything, as his porthole appeared and he vanished inside with Elastigirl.
"NO!" Mr. Incredible cried.
Meanwhile, Fade, Deluge, and Ace landed on Nomanisan Island, and discarded their parachutes.
"Where do you suppose we begin our search for your brother?" Deluge asked.
Fade looked around.
"I don't know. But I do remember seeing an entrance to the secrete base inside a waterfall." She replied.
"So all we have to do is find a water source and follow it upstream." Ace said.
"Now there's no need to go through all that trouble." Another voice chuckled.
Fade, Ace, and Deluge turned to see a cloaked figure standing behind them.
"If you want to enter my secrete base, all you need to do is ask and I'll take you there myself."
"Your base? So your the one that's behind all this!" Fade cried.
The villain turned to Fade.
"That's correct Violet. And you can call me Tsarkon. After all, you and your friends are going to get to know me pretty well in a short while."
"What do you mean by that? How do you know my real name?"
Tsarkon laughed.
"Silly girl. I know everything about you, and your friends. I can read minds after all. I'm also well aware of your unique abilities. Your special powers that make you supers. That's why I brought you here."
"I don't understand..." Fade mumbled.
"Of course not, but if you come with me all of your questions will be answered... Also, you'll be reunited with your brothers." Tsarkon said.
"My brothers?... Wait! That means..." Tsarkon interrupted Fade.
"That's right. I have Jack-Jack too."
"You creep!" Fade cried, and she and her friends attacked Tsarkon.
Though it was three against one, Tsarkon could anticipate each of their moves, and dodge them before contact was made.
Ace made an attempt at kicking Tsarkon in the head. The move was dodged.
Deluge formed water in her hands, and shot a jet stream at the enemy. This attack was also dodged.
Fade turned invisible and snuck up behind Tsarkon. Tsarkon grabbed her and threw her to the ground.
Tsarkon grinned.
"My turn." He said in a low, sinister voice.
He ran at Ace and threw a punch. Ace tried to dodge the attack, only to meet with Tsarkon's fist anyway.
Tsarkon threw him to the ground, and quickly ran at Deluge. He lunged at her with a high kick. Deluged ducked and Tsarkon flew over her head. When he was right over her head, his left foot swung backwards causing a critical blow to the back of Deluge's head. She fell unconscious.
Ace was already up and ready to fight some more.
"Is that all you got?" He taunted.
Tsarkon chuckled.
"You were able to recover so quickly. I'm impressed. I knew you were invincible, but I just had to see it for myself."
"That's right Tsarkon! Which means that no matter what you do to me, I can't die! So why don't you just give up now!" Ace cried.
Tsarkon didn't look intimidated at all. In fact, he was still grinning.
"I have a better idea." He said as he turned and grabbed at nothing, or what seemed like nothing. Fade reappeared, her arm in Tsarkon's grasp. He pulled her towards him, and held her head in his hands.
"Why don't you surrender to me Ace, and I'll spare your girlfriends life." He said.
"Let go of me!" Fade cried.
Ace was about to make a move.
"Don't move Ace!" Tsarkon cried. "All I need from you is a yes or no answer. If you surrender to me, I'll let her go. If you try to attack me, or if you refuse to surrender, I'll snap the girl's neck."
"You're a monster." Ace said angrily.
"Flattery will get you nowhere boy. Do you surrender or not?"
"Ace...Don't." Fade said.
Ace sighed.
"I won't let him hurt you Fade...I surrender."
Tsarkon let go of Fade, and she fell to the ground.
"Good lad. You made a wise decision." He said.
At that moment, Ace felt himself lift off the ground, he couldn't move any of his body parts either.
"What's going on?" He asked.
At that moment, Minx appeared from behind Tsarkon.
Tsarkon whispered something into her ear.
"Yes sir." She said with a grin. She faced Fade and Deluge.
"It'll be my pleasure."
Minx ran at the girls, and another battle began.
"Tsarkon you lying snake! We made a deal!" Ace cried.
Tsarkon laughed insanely.
"Our deal was that if you surrendered, I wouldn't hurt anyone. I never said one of my henchman wouldn't do the job for me."
Tsarkon walked back to his secrete base with Ace floating close behind.
"Where's my brother?" Fade cried.
"Oh he's safe. Remember? He and I are good friends now. I'd never hurt him." Minx replied.
"You're lying through your teeth you witch! Where is my brother!"
Meanwhile. Mr. Incredible and Frozone were running around the island looking for a way into the secrete base.
"Are you sure you remember how to get inside?" Frozone asked.
"I think so. But it's been over a year since the last time I was here!" Mr. Incredible replied.
"Lucifer mentioned the name Tsarkon when we were fighting! Could that be the guy he's working for?"
"I don't know. But I think I might have an idea of who Tsarkon really is."
Lucifer appeared inside the secrete base with Elastigirl in hand.
"Where are we!" She asked.
"Shut it." Lucifer replied.
They walked down a long hallway until they reached a doorway at the end. A henchman who was standing guard at the door punched in a password on a nearby keypad opening it.
Lucifer gave Elastigirl's arm a yank, forcing her to walk into the room with him.
Elastigirl recognized the room as they entered it. A giant TV monitor was on the opposite wall, but it was off. The contraption that Syndrome used to hold the Incredible family captive the last time they were on the island was in the same place, and there was a couple of control stations on both sides of it. The last thing Elastigirl noticed was that there was already a prisoner being held captive. It was Mirage.
Lucifer attached two giant metal balls to Elastigirl's feet, then he attached two more to her hands. Then he looked her in the eyes.
"Have fun." He said sarcastically.
"You won't get away with this." Elastigirl said with a sneer.
"We'll see." Lucifer replied. He grabbed her, and threw her into the electric field.
Then he turned and left the room as he laughed a loud, maniac laugh.
Elastigirl sighed. She looked over at Mirage, her head was slumped downward and her eyes were half open.
"Long time no see." Elastigirl mumbled.
Mirage didn't say anything for a while. Then a few minutes later she finally spoke.
"I'm sorry." She whispered.
Minx transformed into a raptor and chased after the running super girls.
"There's no escape this time Fade and Deluge. Your precious Ace isn't here to stop me either."
The girls jumped over a small creek. Deluge threw up a wall of water to slow Minx down. Minx crashed through the wall without any problems.
"Fade! Let's split up!" Deluge suggested.
"Ok! I'll go left, you go right!" Fade replied.
Fade ran to the left and turned invisible, and Deluge went to the right.
Since Minx couldn't see Fade, she made a left turn after Deluge.
Deluge ran as fast as she could, as she threw jets of water at the rampaging Minx.
The chase continued, Minx quickly catching up, until Deluge reached the edge of the cliff. She looked down, seeing a lake of water about a hundred feet below her.
Minx transformed back into her normal form.
"Looks like you have nowhere to run." She said. "Come with me, or perish."
Deluge grinned as she did a back flip off the cliff.
"Fool!" Minx cried as she ran to the edge.
"Swim mode!" Deluge cried as she was falling.
Her mask transformed into a pair of goggles, and a mouthpiece appeared out of her suit, and went into her mouth.
She wrapped her body in a bubble made of water so her impact would be softer.
Deluge hit the water softly, and swam for a place to take cover.
"Darn! Tsarkon's not gonna like this news." Minx growled.
"What did you do to my friend!" Fade cried. She reappeared out of nowhere and kicked Minx in the stomach, causing her to lose her breath.
"Answer me!"
Minx coughed a couple of times. She took a deep breath.
"If I had to make a guess, I'd say your friend is long gone." She replied.
"No..." Fade started to cry.
"You'll regret ever messing with us!"
Fade was enraged as she charged at Minx.
Minx was quicker on the attack, as she transformed into a rattle snake and bit Fade in the arm. The bite punctured through her suit and her skin.
"AGH!" Fade fell in pain.
Minx went back to normal.
"I've injected rattle snake venom into your bloodstream. It's only a matter of hours before it'll kill you... However, I have an antidote for the poison. All you have to do is come with me."
Fade shook her head.
"I'd rather die." She whispered.
Minx kneeled down beside Fade.
"You'd let that happen? You'd let that happen to your family? Your friends?"
Fade knew that Minx was right. If she died, it would break her mom's heart. It'd break her dad's heart. Everyone she knew would suffer the pain of loss.
She felt the pain of losing her boyfriend to another girl. She couldn't imagine how it'd feel to lose someone by death.
"I'll go." She said weakly.
With those words, all but three supers were captured.
