Night at Nomanisan Island
Meanwhile, Morph and Mirror continues on their journey back to Nomanisan Island. Blasting at light speed above the ocean, the two of them zooms their way back. As time passes, the area grows darker, the wind is colder and Morph grows more anxious. What will his parents think of Mirror? Will they accept her, or simply just throw her away? Mirror, on the other hand is also growing nervous. She flies next to her boyfriend and she holds his hand tight. Morph notices Mirror clenching on to his hand with fear. He smiles at her and she responds with the same action.
"Are you okay there?" Morph asks.
"Just a little bit." Mirror answers. "I've never seen your family before in my entire life. I mean, how do I know they are not going to kill me when I see them?"
"Don't worry Mirror." Morph comforts. "I swear that my family will never lay hands on you." Mirror sighs with relief, but a huge frown still stays on her face.
"Tell the truth Morph." Mirror wonders. "Is your family nice and sweet like me, or are they just the opposite?" Morph looks at Mirror strangely. He doesn't know the answer to the question Mirror just asks.
"Well," Morph says. "I don't really know for sure. I mean, they can be understanding, calm, and nice. Then again, they are just pure evil. I mean, they are villainous, merciless, evil, wicked and cruel. So, I don't know the answer to your question."
Mirror stares at her boyfriend quietly for a few minutes. Finally, she sighs and the two of them continues their journey to Nomanisan Island. Time passes by and the moon light is covered by the clouds and the freezing cold wind puffs at the children. Morph ignores the chilly wind and he continues to press onward toward the island. Mirror, on the other hand, begins to shiver because of the icy cold wind. Morph notices her trembling, so he flies next to her and he wraps one arm around her. He smiles at his girlfriend or comfort. Mirror gazes at Morph's smile and she smiles back. They continue to move closer and closer toward the island. But as they draw closer, Morph grows more and more nervous, wondering what his parents are going to do to him.
Finally, after so much time of traveling, Mirror and Morph manages to catch a glimpse of Nomanisan Island. They finally arrive at the sandy beach. They make a soft landing on the smooth white sand. Morph and Mirror then looks deep into the forest, where it is nothing but pitch darkness. Mirror clenches on to Morph's arm tightly.
"Do we have to go in there?" she asks. Morph nods his head, without saying a word. "But it's dark in there. Who knows what could be lurking in that forest."
"It's the only way to get home." Morph replies. He transforms his arms into a flashlight. "Come on. We better keep moving." Without arguing, Mirror agrees to follow Morph into the dark forest. They past through trees, bushes and over streams, just to get home. Mirror still holds on to Morph's arm, as if she's waiting for something to pop out of the bushes. Suddenly, Mirror hears a small snap in the forest.
"SNAP!" she jumps up with terror. Quickly, she squeezes Morph tightly around the neck. Morph, on the other hand, struggles to break loose of Mirror's hold.
"Mirror." Morph coughs. "Let go…of my neck!" Mirror slowly loosens her grip and she watches as Morph coughs ferociously.
"Sorry about that." she apologizes. "But I thought I heard something in those bushes." Mirror points to a bush nearby. Morph gets to his feet and he points the flashlight into the bush where Mirror was pointing at. The two of them waits for a whole minute, waiting for something to pop up. Morph drops his flashlight and he turns to Mirror.
"It's probably just an animal." he thinks. "We got plenty of them on this island. Now stop complaining and let's keep moving." Morph continues to walk on the path that takes him back home. Mirror sighs and joins Morph. She looks around the area with fear, wondering if she will hear another snap. Her worries came true once again.
"SNAP!" Mirror screams as loud as she could. Morph turns back to his girlfriend and he points his flashlight into the bushes for a second time. He checks and waits for something to appear out of the bushes. Finally, he drops his flash light and he stares at Mirror.
"Morph, I'm telling you." Mirror says. "I really heard something in those bushes." Morph sighs and he transforms his other hand into a laser gun.
"All right." Morph says. "Here's what we'll do. We will keep on moving back to my place, with no more interruptions. However, if you hear another snap in the woods, then I'll just use my laser gun to blast whatever is hiding. Is that all right?" Mirror nods her head. The two of them continues to journey in the forest. Finally, after about five minutes of traveling, and five minutes of delay, Morph and Mirror has finally reached the Evils' base. Mirror jumps up and cheers and she hugs Morph as tight as she can. Morph also gives Mirror a great big as well. Suddenly, the two of them hear a loud "SNAP!" Mirror shrieks and she release Morph. Morph, on the other hand, points his laser gun at the bushes and he starts shooting from his laser gun. Green laser beams zooms out of the gun. What Morph doesn't realize is that he is shooting his own troops. Morph holds his fire and examines the damage he has done. He approaches slowly towards the forest and he sees five of his soldiers lying motionless on the ground.
"Oh shoot." Morph mumbles.
"Who did you shoot?" Mirror asks.
"My own soldiers." Morph answer.
"Uh, oh!" Mirror mumbles. Morph slowly approach toward one of his fallen soldiers. He kneels down beside him and he checks for any heart beats. Mirror places her hand on Morph's shoulder. Morph looks back at her and he sees tears in her eyes. But then, Morph sees some more shadowy figures behind his girlfriend. Morph points his flashlight to the shadows and he sees some more of his soldiers pointing their guns at the two children. Mirror notices the armed soldiers behind her, so she throws her arms up and she projects a force field around herself and her boyfriend.
"Hold your fire." one of the soldiers order. One by one, the soldiers drop their guns and stare at the children. "Morph, it's about time you showed up. Your family has been waiting for you."
"They have?" Morph asks.
"Come!" the soldier commands. At that point, the soldiers form a path for the two kids to walk through. Slowly, the two of them gets to their feet, holds each others hands and walks through the path. They come across a huge, silver door. Morph observes the door and reaches for the handle.
"Are you ready?" Morph asks. Mirror nods. "Are you scared?" Mirror shakes her head, but keeps a firm grip on Morph's hand. Finally, Morph, with all of his strength, pulls as hard as he could and the door swings open. The two of them enters the dark, creepy room and looks around, trying to find someone.
"Mom?" Morph calls. "Dad? Ultra? I'm home." Morph and Mirror walks further into the room. Then, without warning, the large metal door slams behind them, causing the two of them to panic. Morph and Mirror can see nothing but pitch darkness. At that point, Mirror begins to snivel. Morph gives her a huge hug, but then the lights flicker on. Morph notices his mother, Evila and his father, Mr. Evile surrounding him.
"Mom, dad." Morph calls. "I'm sorry I'm late. But I was just…"
"Silence!" Mr. Evile orders. Morph shuts his moth instantly.
"Mom, I can explain." Morph says.
"Sit." Evila commands. Without hesitating, Morph, followed by Mirror sits down on a couch nearby. Morph watches as his parents surround him and his girlfriend.
"You've disappointed u for the past three days, my son." Mr. Evile recalls.
"First of all." Evila remembers. "You failed to destroy the Incredible. You ran away from battle, leaving your older brother to die. You then argued with me and your father, you almost killed your sister, bringing this child to our territory. And above all that…" Morph closes his eyes, ready to cry, while Mirror shuts her ears. "You have made us very, very proud." Evila finishes with a soft voice. Morph opens his eyes and he stares at his parents.
"What are you talking about?" he asks.
"For ten years Morph." Mr. Evile says. "We didn't expect that much from you, because you're only a child. As the years past, your mother and I expect greater things from you, but you couldn't accomplish any of them…until now. Your mother and I saw you on the news, destroying the city and beating the Incredible, all by yourself. We're proud of you son."
"Morph." Evila says. "We're so sorry for misjudging you. We thought that you were no use to us in dominating the world, but after I saw you beating the Incredible, I thought to myself, "That's the Morph I want to see." We're all proud for what have you done." Morph is speechless after hearing those words from his parents. A huge smile plants on his face. Evila then notices Mirror sitting next to her son.
"So Morph, who is this girl?" she asks
"Oh." Morph says. "Mom, dad, this is my girlfriend Ray, A.K.A, Mirror. She has the power to project reflective force fields and she can copy a superhero's ability just by looking at them." Evila and Mr. Evile looks at the girl.
"Well, now." Mr. Evile said. "It is a pleasure to meet you." he reaches out and shakes Mirror's hand. Evila does the same thing.
"Thanks." Mirror responds. "I have never seen you guys before. Please, tell me. What can you guys…?" But before Mirror can finish asking her question, her stomach starts to grumble. The whole family hears it and they break into laughter.
"Aren't you hungry, young one?" Evila asks. Mirror smiles and she nods her head. "Come, dine with us tonight. We have so much to talk about." Evila leads Mirror into the kitchen. Morph, however, heads straight for the hallway.
"Where are you going son?" Mr. Evile asks.
"I've got to check on something." Morph answers. His father nods his head and he walks toward the kitchen, joining his wife and Mirror.
Morph walks through the hallway until he comes across two wooden doors. One door is to the right and the other is on the left. He stands in front of the door to his right. He reaches for the door hand, twists the knob and opens the door that leads to Ultra's room. He looks around, and sees that her room is dark. He flicks on the light switch and the lights turned on. He then sees a teenaged girl, with brown hair, reading a small book on her bed.
"Ultra." Morph calls. The girl drops her book and she stares at Morph. Her eyes widened and her mouth drops.
"Morph!" she says. She gets out of her bed, rushes to her brother and the two of them embraces each other firmly. "Oh God where have you been? I thought I lost you forever." Ultra bursts into tears. "Are you all right? Are you hurt Morph? Are you…"
"Ultra, Ultra, Ultra." Morph says. "Please, stop it. I'm okay. I'm okay. I just had a rough day, but I'm not hurt. But I'm back. I'm right here. And I'm not going anywhere." Ultra still has tears in her eyes, and she hugs her little brother one more time. After a minutes of embracing, the two of them exit's the bedroom and heads to the kitchen for dinner.
"So, who did you bring over?" Ultra asks.
"Well, let's just say it is someone I like, but someone you hate."
"Who?"
"Um…well…okay, here it goes. Her name is Ray. Also known as, (gulp) Mirror." Immediately, Ultra froze in her tracks and she stares at her little brother.
"Morph." she complains. "You know how I feel about her. Every time when we are together, things just don't work out right. I mean, whenever you are not around us, she always play tricks on me and she always makes fun of me." Morph looks at her as if whatever she said is true.
"Don't worry sis." he said. "I'll remind her to treat you the same way I treat her." the two of them smiles at each other and they head to the kitchen. They sit down at the table, along with Mirror, Evila and Mr. Evile. The five of them eats their dinner, just like a normal family should. Everyone, except Ultra took a real liking to Mirror.
"So Mirror." Mr. Evile said. "You can project reflective force fields. That's a pretty nice power for a young girl like you. What else can you do?" Mirror looks at the whole family. Finally, she stares at Evila for a couple of seconds. The little girl clenches her fist and smiles.
"I can obtain a superhero's abilities just by looking at them." she answers. "For example, take you for instance, Evila." Mirror's hands, all of the sudden turn red and then, without warning, a burst of flames shoots out of her hands. She points her palms near a fireplace and she shoots a rush of red hot flames into the fireplace. Mr. Evile, Evila and Morph applaud, causing Mirror to blush. Then, a huge grin plants on her face. She then points her hand at Ultra and she shoots a torrent of water out of her hands. The blast nails her in the face and Ultra falls off of her seat. The whole family, including Morph and Mirror bursts into laughter.
"Excellent!" Evila complements. "What else can you do?" Mirror's looks at Morph and she smiles. Her hands then transforms into a giant, knife blade. She slashes down on the meat on her plate. She not only cuts the meat in half, but also her plate and a little bit of the table. Mirror observes the damage she has done and she laughs a little bit. She then changes her hand again and it becomes a small gun. She points it at Evila and discharges the pistol. Flowers shoot out of the gun and falls on Evila. Mirror then points her weapon at Ultra and she shoots a huge laser beam at her. The beam nails her in the chest and Ultra falls back and crashes against the wall. Mr. Evile and Evila were amazed on what they just saw. Instead of rushing over to their daughter to help her out, they congratulated Mirror for what she has done. Morph gets out of his seat and he runs to his sister.
"Hey, Ultra. Are you okay?" he asks.
'No I'm not." she answers arrogantly. "That girl is insulting me, and my parents are happy about that. I'm their daughter, but she is only a guest. They like her more because they think she is more powerful than me." Ultra gets back up to her feet and she clenches her fist. "That does it. That girl has ruined my life for the last time. I'm going to show her what happens when she takes away my family from me. Ultra walks aggressively toward the girl. Mirror sees her coming and she grins at her. Ultra, however, ignores her and gives her a slap on the face. Mirror falls from her chair and she rubs her face. Ultra glares at the girl and she raises her hands. Telekinetically, she lifts up Mirror in the process. Mirror hollers as she is raised higher and higher.
"Mirror, no!" Morph yells. But just when he's about to rush over to the two girls, Mr. Evile stops him.
"Hold it there son." he orders. "Let us see what this girl can really do."
Ultra slams Mirror viciously into a wall. Mirror crashes hard into the wall, making a huge hole. But then, Ultra smashes Mirror into another wall. Mirror makes another huge dent on the wall when she ruthlessly crashes into it. Ultra continues to bash Mirror into the walls of the room, as if she is a battering ram. Finally, after a minute of pounding against the wall, Ultra drops the battered girl on the ground. Mirror struggles to get on her hands and knees. Ultra lifts up the beaten girl up and instead of smashing her to another wall, she slams her against the roof. Mirror collides against the ceiling and she falls viciously on the ground, landing on a coffee table, breaking it in the process. Mirror groans as Ultra approaches her.
"You have ruined my life for the last time." Ultra growls. "I don't care if you are my little brother's girlfriend; I am going to finish you off once and for all." She points her hands toward Mirror and it begins to glow. She fires a huge laser beam at the girl, but Mirror counters by forming a force field in front of her. The laser hit's the force field and shoots right back at Ultra. The beam nails her in the chest and she falls back to the ground. The blow knocks Ultra out unconscious. Mirror manages to get to her feet. She observes the teenaged girl and smiles.
"Wow!" she said. "You have pretty awesome powers. Let me try them for once." Mirror lifts up her hand, raising Ultra in the process. She smashes the teenager viciously on the ground. Ultra cries in pain as Mirror bashes her on the floor, against the ceiling and against the walls. Finally, Mirror slams Ultra on one of the walls so hard; she crashes though and lands hard on the ground. Mirror advances toward the beaten teenager and she points her hands toward her. A barrage of laser beams rams Ultra ferociously. Ultra lets out a holler of pain as each laser beam hits her. After a few shots, Ultra is sent to her knees, followed by tears in her eyes. Morph, on the other hand, could not take this anymore. He transforms his arms into a huge shield and he steps in front of Ultra. He blocks the oncoming lasers shooting towards him.
"MIRROR! CUT IT OUT!" Morph yells. Mirror stops firing and looks at Morph and his sister.
"Do you surrender, Ultra?" Mirror asks.
"I…I…I do." Ultra admits faintly. After so much beating, she passes out on the floor. Mr. Evile and Evila enter the room. They first look at their beaten daughter, then their son and finally Mirror. The two of them moves closer to Mirror and they stare at her for sometime. Finally, Evila and Mr. Evile applaud.
"Excellent!" Mr. Evile compliments. "That was a spectacular performance there. Well done! You've just defeated my useless, pathetic daughter all by yourself."
"Mirror," Evila asks. "How would you like to be a part of the most powerful super family in the world?"
"Really?" Mirror asks excitedly.
"Absolutely." Evila confirms. "With you on our side, we can become unstoppable. Those pesky Incredibles will never be able to stop us from taking over the world."
"Wow! How can I resist?" Mirror said.
"Very well then." Mr. Evile said. "We'll start tomorrow." Then he notices Mirror yawning. "Come, you must rest. For tomorrow, the real work begins." He, along with his wife and Mirror exits the room. Morph carries his unconscious sister and he walks down the hallway. He comes to a door that leads to her room. He was about to open it when he notices his dad walking towards him.
"Son. Mirror will be sleeping in this room tonight. Why don't you place your sister on the couch?" Without saying a word, Morph leaves the room and carries his sister into the living room. He finally puts her down on the couch. He brushes his fingers on her long brown hair. Finally, Ultra wakes up from her consciousness.
"You alright?" Morph asks.
"What do you think?" Ultra answers. "You're stupid girlfriend almost killed me. Mom and dad were too busy giving all the attention to her, instead of me. And now, Mirror is a part of this family. Face it Morph. Ever since Valagor died, nothing has been going right for me. No one loves me anymore."
"Ultra I…"
"Look at yourself Morph! Ever since you brought Mirror onto this island, you and our parents have been paying more attention to them, instead of me. You guys care about her, more than me. Mom doesn't love me. Dad doesn't love me. You don't…"
"Ultra, what the heck are talking about?"
"No one loves me anymore!"
"I DO!" All of the sudden, the whole room falls into silence. Morph and Ultra gazes into each others eyes. Ultra's eyes begin to fill with tears. Morph continues to talk. "I love you Ultra, because you are my sister. So what Mirror is my girlfriend? I don't care if she is more powerful than you, me, mom or dad. I don't care if she defeats the Incredibles all by herself. My love for her does not compare with my love towards you. After I saw Mirror pummeling you, I was shocked, seeing my own sister getting thrashed. There was so much anger boiling inside me and I felt like giving Mirror a good beating."
"Then why didn't you help me?" Ultra asks.
"Because of mom and dad. They want to see how strong she really is. I didn't expect them to take it out on you. I'm sorry Ultra." Ultra stares at her brother and smiles.
"You promised me that she wouldn't lay a hand on me." This causes the two siblings to giggle.
"Well, let me rephrase that." Morph corrects. "The next time you and Mirror are together, I promise you that I will be there for you if you two start fighting."
"Promise?"
"I promise." The two of them gives each other a great big hug to show their care for each other. Morph brushes Ultra's hair one last time, before he gets up and walks out of the room. "Good night sis." He turns off the lights and he heads to his room, where he immediately falls asleep. Ultra, on the other hand, stays awake for a few minutes. Now that Mirror is part of the Eviles, she has no idea what will be in store for her. So many questions, concerns and worries pop into Ultra's mind as she lies back on her pillow. There was one thing that she keeps in her mind. Even though Mirror is a part of the Eviles, she can still not be trusted, even in this family.
"Good night Morph." she says. "And thank you for loving me." she closes her eyes and falls asleep with a smile on her face.
