Python and Rocket were suited up and ready for action. They made their way to the fire escape of their apartment and prepared to depart. Rocket leapt to the ground below, with Python right behind him. As they fell, Python projected a force field around them both. The pair landed without a scratch, thanks to the "Alpha Force Power Ball", their mode of transportation.

"Hey, Rocket, where's the site of the disaster?"

Rocket scanned the horizon until he saw what looked like the moon. But it wasn't the moon, because the moon didn't usually have an A-shaped shadow on it. "There's the Alpha signal," he said. Rocket set the Power Ball in motion, and the supers were off. Within 10 minutes, Alpha Force arrived at the Metroville Bank. The police were already there.

"What's going on here?" Python asked the sheriff.

"We received a call from the bank saying that a new super-villain was attempting a robbery," he answered.

Suddenly, a massive explosion occurred which demolished the front door. Luckily, Python managed to protect her self and her brother in time. The police were unharmed because they had fled. Out of the dust came what appeared to be a French male. He was a HUGE man, and on his person, he carried enough bombs to level Cleveland.

"Bomb Appiteit!" said the A-Forcers.

The villain quickly tossed a few bombs in their direction. Python put up a force field to protect herself, while Rocket dodged the explosives with his surprising speed.

"Who are you, and where is Mr. Incredible?" asked Bomb Appiteit.

"Oh, he retired a month ago," explained Python, "now we're the super heroes on this beat."

"No, this cannot be!" M. Appiteit screamed. "I must battle Mr. Incredible! I must avenge my brother, Bomb Voyage! Thanks to Mr. Incredible, my brother now sits alone in a prison cell. He told me that somehow, I must defeat Mr. Incredible in his stead! Then he gave to me all of his explos…"

But he couldn't finish his monologue, because Rocket was already on him like white on rice. Bomb Appiteit was decked well into next month within the scope of 15 seconds.

"That was simply too easy," Rocket thought aloud.

In time the police returned and took the giant super-villain away. "Thank you, Alpha Force," said the sheriff. "We couldn't have done it without you."

"Just doing our job, sir," said Python.

After these things, Alpha Force ducked into a dark alley and quickly changed back into civilian clothes. Then they began to walk home.

"I can't believe how easily you took that guy down," Violet told her brother.

"Well, I suppose it was a good thing that our first gig was easy," Dash responded.

"Uh-oh," Violet murmured as they passed the door in their building labeled "Manager". Then she disappeared.

"Violet, what are you so worried about? It's just the landlord. What's the worst that could happen?"

"PARR!" came a loud scream from behind the manager's door. Thinking quickly, Dash covered his sister so that the manager wouldn't see a floating outfit with no one in it. Then out stepped a man in his bathrobe, looking very disgruntled.

"Hey, there, Mr. Von Braun," said Dash. "Have you lost weight?"

"Don't try to flatter me, Dash!" screamed Mr. Von Braun. "Where's your sister?"

"Uh…" Dash tried to think of an excuse as to why she wasn't there. "She-e-e-e-e's-s-s out…with her friends…yeah, and she won't be back until tomorrow."

"Okay, well, when she gets back, tell her that she's two weeks behind with the rent!"

"Okey-Dokey, Mr. Von Braun, sir, I'll do that!" Dash said as he and his sister turned in front of the manager, so they could get to the apartment without him seeing Violet invisible. Once they were safely inside apartment 31A, Dash smacked his still invisible sister upside her head. "Two weeks? Please tell me you paid him the money two weeks ago and he just forgot!"

Violet reappeared. "Actually, Dash, I kind of ran out of money this month."

"What? How could you forget to pay the rent? What in the world could you have been spending that money on?"

Violet simply stood still and stared at her brother, stiff as a board. "Uh…"

"Oh, Violet…Three Blind Mice albums?"

"Dash, they weren't for me, they were for Kari! She saw one in the store window, and…"

"Don't give me excuses, Violet Helen Parr! Tell me how on earth we are going to get enough money to pay our rent bill! Tell me how that's possible with you dropping more money for tunes than you do for room and board!"

"You know what, Dashell Robert Parr, instead of yelling at me because we have money problems, maybe you could help out a little! Get a part time job, maybe!"

"That is the best idea you've ever had!" said Dash, and he said it in a tone that would make one think he was still arguing with Violet. "I think I'll get one tomorrow!"

"Great idea! Now go to bed, because you have to go to school tomorrow!"

Dash snorted, and then he just chuckled at the most unusual conversation he just had with Violet. "Okay, I'll see you in the morning," he said. He went to his bedroom on the west side of the apartment and stripped down to his skivvies before he jumped into bed. "Good night, Violet!"

"Good night, Dash," Violet said as she strode to her bedroom on the east side of the apartment. She changed into her nightgown and slipped into bed. And for the rest of the night, Alpha Force slept soundly and peacefully.

(A/N: Hey, I'm sorry if I didn't put enough fantastic action in there for you guys. They say the best way to write is to write about what you know. And what I mostly know about is the mundane, not the fantastic. About Vi's middle name, well, I made that up, but it seems logical, don't you think? Just so you know, Three Blind Mice is the name of a fictional band of my own creation. Chapter 4 is on the way! In it, you will discover what life is like for Alpha Force during the day.)
