Chapter 10: Tsarkon's Past Revealed
By: Conan 16
Elastigirl remained imprisoned next to Mirage, who said nothing the whole time. She didn't know what she was going to do, and she was worried about her husband and Frozone.
"Is there any way to get out of this thing?" Elastigirl asked.
Mirage shook her head.
"Only by pushing that button over there." She replied.
That's when the door opened.
Tsarkon, Minx, Lucifer, and Knave entered with the other four prisoners: Ace, Fade, Dash, and Jack-Jack.
"Kids!" Elastigirl cried. "How did you get here?"
Dash looked up at his mom. He was crying.
"Sorry mom...I thought she was trying to help." He said.
Minx laughed.
"In you twisted dreams kid." She said giving him a shove.
"I'm sorry too mom." Fade said weakly. "I came here with my friends to save Dash...I didn't want you to worry."
"It's ok honey. Don't beat yourself up over it." Elastigirl said. Then she caught eye of Jack-Jack.
"How did you monsters get my baby?"
Knave jumped forward with a giant grin.
"That'd be my doing." He laughed.
"Enough of this!" Tsarkon shouted. "Lock them away."
Minx and Lucifer attached giant metal balls to Dash's hands and feet. Then they did the same to Ace.
When they finished, they shoved the two of them into the electric field.
Minx grabbed Fade, and was about to do the same for her, when she stopped.
"Oh! I almost forgot." She said.
Minx grabbed a vial that was attached to the side of her belt. She pulled out a tiny capsule.
"Swallow!" She ordered shoving the pill in Fade's mouth.
Fade did as she was told. The medicine worked instantly as the color began to return to her face.
Lucifer grabbed Jack-Jack.
"This little brat and his sister are next." He said.
"Just a second." Tsarkon interrupted. "Find a different prison for those two. Fade knows how to escape the electric field, and Kid Incredible can simply teleport his way out."
Meanwhile, outside the base.
Mr. Incredible and Frozone were in luck on their search as they found a rail track that lead to the secrete base.
"How much further?" Frozone asked, as they ran along the track.
"Probably another mile or two." Mr. Incredible replied.
"A mile or two! Man, we're not gonna make it in time." Frozone said.
"Hey dad! Need a lift?" Someone asked.
Mr. Incredible and Frozone turned to see Deluge riding up on one of the rail carts.
"Deluge? How'd you get here?" Frozone asked.
"It's a long story. I'll explain on the way there." She replied.
Mirage, Elastigirl, Ace, and Dash remained trapped in the electric field; while Fade and Jack-Jack were held prisoner in a plasma bubble made by Lucifer.
"How are we going to get out of this one?" Dash asked.
"I don't know..." Elastigirl replied. "But we'll find a way. After all, your father and Frozone are still out there."
Meanwhile, Tsarkon typed in a code on a keypad, scanned his hand on a scanner, and opened a giant safe door. When the door was wide open, there stood the ultimate super suit that Edna made.
"It's time to suit up." Tsarkon said as he looked the black and mauve suit over. The suit itself was black, and the gloves and shoes were mauve colored. There were mauve colored flames pointing upward on the chest of the suit, and in the middle of the flames was The Incredible symbol in a silver color.
Deluge explained to Frozone and Mr. Incredible about how she and her friends got to the island, and how they fought Tsarkon and Minx, and how she made her escape.
"After I jumped off the cliff, I activated my scuba mode and swam for safety. I found a cavern under water, near the waterfall, and went inside. When I looked around in the cavern, I saw a small hole that lead to the surface. I squeezed inside that hole, and when I reached the surface I ran into the guards who ran this cart. There was a short fight, ending with the henchmen taking a swim, and me getting this cart. That's pretty much it." Deluge explained.
Frozone nodded.
"I see. So Mr. Incredible's kids are on this island as well. And this other guy... Ace? He's here too?"
"Yup."
Mr. Incredible didn't say anything.
"I hope my families alright." He thought.
They arrived at the gate, and none of them were surprised that there were henchmen guarding it.
"It's the last three supers!" One of the guards cried, right before Mr. Incredible knocked him out. The gate opened and dozens of guards attacked. They shot at the supers, but their suits were bullet proof so the bullets didn't phase them. Mr. Incredible punched and threw as many henchmen he could get his hands on, while deluge punched and shot water jets at others. Frozone punched, kicked, froze, and body slammed as many enemies as he could.
"They keep coming!" Deluge cried.
"Flood the ground Deluge!" Frozone ordered.
So Deluge did just that. When the water was knee deep Frozone was ready.
"Mr. Incredible, Deluge, Jump!" He said, and he froze the ground over. The ice trapped the henchmen knee's down, and started to climb up their bodies. In a matter of seconds, all the henchmen were frozen solid.
"Phew...Good work." Mr. Incredible said.
The three supers walked past the frozen henchmen, and found an entrance to the inside of the base.
"It's locked tight." Frozone said.
Mr. Incredible walked over and grabbed the bottom of the door. With all his might, he pulled the big, heavy door out of it's place and threw it aside.
"Wow." Deluge mumbled.
"C'mon, let's go!"
"Where are we going Mr. Incredible?" Frozone asked.
"There's a room where Syndrome held me and my family captive the last time we were here. If nothing's changed, that's where Tsarkon is holding everyone now." Mr. Incredible explained.
They continued to run down the long hallways.
"If memory serves me right... It's over here! C'mon!"
"Mr. Incredible slow down man!" Frozone cried.
"What's...wrong...dad?" Deluge asked between exhausted breaths from running.
"I don't know...It just seems to easy. No henchman or guards, no traps or hidden ray guns." Frozone replied.
"Here it is!" Mr. Incredible said pointing to a door in front of them.
"Rrrrrrrrrraaaaaahhhh!" He cried as he punched the door down.
"Dad!" Dash cried in glee.
"Honey! Your safe." Elastigirl said.
"Is everyone alright?" Mr. Incredible asked.
"We will be, once you get us out of here." Fade replied.
Frozone and Deluge finally caught up with Mr. Incredible.
"Uhh, Mr. Incredible." Frozone began. "I don't know if you heard me earlier, but this seems way to easy. It has to be some sort of trap."
"Don't worry about it Frozone. Tsarkon probably doesn't even know we're hear." Mr. Incredible replied.
"OR! Tsarkon might have you right where he wants you!" Tsarkon cried as he appeared from the shadows in the corner, still wearing his hooded cloak.
Mr. Incredible faced his enemy.
"It's over Tsarkon. I don't know what you have planned...But I'm here to put an end to it." He said.
"You'll know soon enough what I have in store for you Robert. Oh! And thank you for bringing me my last two prisoners." Tsarkon said.
At that moment, Minx grabbed Deluge, and Lucifer grabbed Frozone, and they attached metal balls to their feet and hands.
"Hey! What the? Let me go!" Frozone cried as he tried to struggle free.
"Oh shut up!" Lucifer shouted back as he whacked Frozone in the neck, knocking him out.
"Dad!" Deluge cried.
Minx smacked her.
"Stop moving!" She ordered.
Minx and Lucifer threw Frozone and Deluge into the electric field, and they became the last two prisoners.
Tsarkon let out his loud, sinister laugh.
"At last! The time has come!" He shrieked, is dark voice echoing in the huge room.
He thrust his right arm out towards the door that Mr. Incredible smashed through, and it went back in it's place and locked everyone in.
"After all these years Robert...I will finally have my revenge." Tsarkon said through short, insane, laughs.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Mr. Incredible asked.
Tsarkon faced Mr. Incredible.
"Thought you'd never ask." He replied.
"For years I've had to sit back and watch you become the Mr. Perfect everyone thought you were. For years I had to hide in your shadow while you got all the praise and glory.
Everyone respected you. No body respected me!...You had the super strength! You were a god! I was cursed with telekinetic powers! I was a freak! Everyone hated me, because they were to busy loving you! Everyone ignored me, because they were to busy giving you all the attention! MY LIFE WAS A LIVING HELL BECAUSE OF YOU ROBERT!" Tsarkon bellowed at the top of his lungs.
This little speech got everyone's attention, even Minx and Lucifer's. But nobody knew what he was talking about. Nobody, but Mr. Incredible.
He took his mask off.
"I should have known that it was you all along." Bob shook his head. "Richard, my brother, you've never changed."
"Your brother? You told us he was killed in a accident." Elastigirl said.
Bob looked at her.
"I did say that. Saying that my own brother was dead is a lot less demeaning to the Parr family name, then telling everyone that he practiced dark arts just to obtain super abilities." He said as faced Tsarkon.
"You always envied me because I was born with the gift of super strength, while you were born as a normal little boy. Even though our parent's gave us equal attention, and treated us the same, it always gnawed away at the back of your mind that I had super powers, and you didn't. That's why you did research on supernatural powers. So you could find a way to become supernatural yourself. That's when you discovered a way to gain powers through darkness. It was when you started to study the dark arts that our family and friends lost their respect for you! Not because they were to busy paying attention to me. You ruined your own life Richard, not me! You brought this on yourself!"
Tsarkon let out a low growl.
"I've had enough of this!" He cried as he pulled off his cloak, and revealed himself to everyone.
He was wearing the ultimate super suit. He resembled Bob in many ways, except he was shorter, scrawnier, and he had a full head of hair. Plus Bob's eyes were blue, Tsarkon's were red.
Bob felt himself lift off the ground.
Tsarkon used his powers and slammed Bob into a wall.
Bob stood up and charged at his brother, but he wasn't quick enough as Tsarkon stopped him dead in his tracks.
"Darn." Bob mumbled.
"Your pathetic big brother...You always were. But it seems like I was the only one who ever noticed." Saying that, Tsarkon threw Bob against the wall again.
The impact caused a huge, jagged chunk of the stone ceiling to fall off.
Bob saw this and covered his head, not knowing what to expect.
But the chunk of rubble never hit him.
Bob looked up to see his brother holding his hand out. He stopped the chunk of stone.
"You saved me?" Bob asked, confused.
Tsarkon laughed as he flicked his wrist.
The stone piece broke loose of Tsarkon's powers and fell on Bob. Bob punched it out of the way.
"I wouldn't let you die like that." Tsarkon said. "I have better plans of eliminating you. Lucifer! Minx! Knave! Remove our prisoner's masks... It's time to steal their powers."
At that moment, Bob could of sworn that Tsarkon's voice sounded darker, and more sinister then ever.
