Escape Attempt
Author's Notes: I would like to thank everyone who who reviewed my story. Not only it's been a hit, but I've got a review from The Star Swordsman that I broke the record for "The Most Reviews for a Single Incredibles Story." Thanks to all ,but I can't take all the credit. I owe it all to you guys. Thanks. Here's my next chapter.
Hours past since the Eviles tortured and criticized Violet. The beaten, battered, injured, miserable teenaged super hangs helplessly in The Containment Room. Tears drops from her eyes like a fountain. Deep down in her heart, she knows she's gonna die. And to make things worst, there is no one that can save her. Not her mom, her dad, her brothers, not even her previous boyfriend, Tony Rydinger. Violet cries endlessly. She tries to cheer herself up by thinking good thoughts or remembering that her family is coming to rescue her, but somehow, she can't. She knows that by the time her family gets here, it will be too late. Violet is weak, hurt and somewhat crushed. Every part of her body is in very bad condition. Her head is all beaten up. Her face is a complete mess, both of her eyes are black, her nose is broken, her hair is tangled and scraggly. About a third of her teeth have been knocked out of her mouth. Violet's stomach is much worst. Her stomach pain hasn't recovered after Tony, Ultra, Evila and Mr. Evile pounded it like cookie dough. Violet dangles hopelessly in the dark Containment Room, sobbing after a minute passes.
"I…can't…believe…it's already…over." Violet thought. "It's certain. I'm gonna die. And…there's…no one who…can save me." And it's true. Violet closes her eyes and thinks about her family one last time. She can remember all of the happy stuff she did with them. She can also remember all of the rescue missions she and her family accomplished.
"Dad..." Violet cries. The teenaged girl remembers being with her dad. She remembers the celebrations, the missions, everything she did with her father. She even remembers her dad saving her in a fire when she was really young. The memories of her father slowly fade away. The memories form into a tear as it falls off of Violet's face.
"Mom..." Violet weeps. Again, Violet remembers all of the good times she has with her mother. She remembers the first day when Helen taught her how to be a superhero. She also remembers spending time with her mom. Violet even remembers the day Helen puts her black hair behind her ears. Once again, the memories of her mom take shape into a tear and falls off of Violet's face.
"Sean…" She sobs. Violet thinks about when Sean was first accepts to the family. Ever since then, she looks up to him as her older brother. She remembers him fighting by his side. She even remembers him saving her life. She remembers everything incredible and heroic Sean has done ever since he became an Incredible, like she is. Again, the memories liquefy into another tear as it falls and splashes into the ground.
"Dash..." She moans. Even though the two of them constantly fight each other, she can still recall a few things that made her and Dash so special. The two of them makes a great team when they used their powers together. She saved his life once and Dash saved hers. Just because the two of them bicker and argue with each other, doesn't mean she doesn't love him. Another tear filled with memories of Dash falls to the ground.
"Jack-Jack..." Violet whimpers. Even though Jack-Jack is only an infant, Violet still has some wonderful times with her baby brother. She remembers babysitting with him, playing games like peek-a-boo, protecting him and other things. She loves being with her baby brother Jack-Jack and she misses him. The memories of the final member of the family fall away, just as her tears fall to the ground. Violet snivels as the hours past and her hopes drop dramatically.
"I don't wanna die." Violet whines. "I don't wanna die! I DON'T WANNA DIE!" A downpour of her tears falls off of her face. Resistance is useless. Her energy has been run out. She couldn't project a force field around herself, she couldn't disappear and she couldn't move.
"I can't believe it's over." Violet reflects. "I've lost everything. I've lost Tony, I've lost my family, and now, I'm gonna lose my life." Tears fall from Violet's beaten eyes. "I guess Ultra's right. I'm the weakest super that has ever lived. I'm not only a disgrace to my family and to the supers, but I'm disgrace to this world. I don't deserve to live anymore. I just…I…just…" Violet closes her eyes as her tears fall out. It's inevitable. Sooner or later, the Eviles will come back for her. Her life will be over before she knows it. Violet just cries and cries as time passes by.
"Don't cry Vi." A voice said. Violet heard the voice. She opens her eyes and lifts up her head. It was a painful process because her head injuries haven't recovered either. As her head moves up, a jolt of pain surges throughout her body. She looks around the Containment Room searching for the person who spoke. However, Violet is all alone in the Containment Room.
"W…W…Who's there?" Violet wonders. Looking around the Containment Room, she waits for an answer.
"Violet, it's me." Said the voice. Violet hears it again. Her eyes are wide open. She recognized the voice. Then, Violet looks toward the entrance of the Containment Room. She couldn't believe what she's seeing. Right in front of the entrance to the Containment Room was a teenaged boy. He has flat brown hair, dark clothing and a smile on his face. He slowly approaches toward the beaten up Violet.
"T…T…T…T…Tony." Violet cries faintly. As Tony closes in on her, Violet's body is filled with apprehension. Tony is now a couple of feet away from Violet. The teenaged girl closes her eyes and braces herself, predicting what is gonna happen to her.
"Stop sniveling Vi." Tony said. "I'm not gonna hurt you." Violet opens her eyes and notices the smile on Tony's face. It wasn't a smile when he was with the Eviles, but it was the smile when he was with her. Tony touches Violet's cheek. Regardless of the pain, Violet feels the comfort Tony has given her.
"Tony!" Violet cries. "Help me! The Eviles! They're gonna kill me! Please! Help me!" Again tears fall from Violet's face. Tony sighs. He places his fingers on Violet's face, wiping off her tears. He smiles at the teenaged girl. After the last tear was wiped off, Violet started to smile.
"I wish I could Vi." Tony said. "But I can't unfortunately. I want to help you Vi. But I just can't."
"What do you mean, you can't?" Violet asks.
"It's kinda hard to explain Vi. But somehow, I just can't. I'm sorry. But I guess you're on your own from here."
"Tony! Please! I need your help! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't…I don't…I don't…" Violet couldn't take anymore. Tears forms in her eyes. The teenaged super hero cries uncontrollably. Tony gazes deeply at the teenage girl. He sighs and smiles. He holds Violet's chin up. Violet's eyes met Tony's. As Tony wipes off the tears off of Violet's face, Violet feels a sudden warmth inside her heart. When the last tear was brushed off, Violet was smiling once again.
"I know Vi." Tony said. "I know. I don't want you to die. How can I live when my prettiest flower is gonna die?"
"Tony." Violet says. Her shattered heart is starting to rebuild itself. Never in her entire life she's been called the prettiest flower, especially Tony. "Tony I…I…I don't know what to say. That's the sweetest thing I've heard in my life. Say that again."
"I can't Vi. I must be going." Tony said as he turns around and starts walking away.
"Tony, wait!" Violet calls. Tony froze and turns back toward Violet. "Please Tony. Don't leave me." Tony sighs and smiles once again. He walks back toward Violet and places his hand on her chin.
"Leave you?" Tony laughs. "Ah come on Vi. I'll never leave you alone. That will be the last thing I'll ever do. I'm always with you Vi. In the coldest winters, in the blazing summers, when you're in desperate need, I'm always here for you." Tony places his hand on Violet's cheek and the teenage girl smiles. "Just remember this Vi. I'm on your side Vi and I always will be forevermore. You're a strong girl Vi. Remember, that your strength doesn't come from your super powers. It comes from the power inside you." With his finger, Tony slightly touches Violet's heart. Finally, Tony lets go of Violet's cheek and walks back to the entrance of the Containment Room.
"Tony!" Violet calls.
"You can help me Vi." Tony says as he continues to walk away. "You can rescue me. You can set me free Vi. Just remember one thing.No matter what happens, I LOVE YOU!" Then, he vanished. Violet was shocked, not because of Tony's disappearance, but because of what he said to her. Those last three powerful words touched Violet's heart. She was speechless after hearing Tony speak. Her heart then felt something it had never felt before. Violet slowly manages to regain all of her energy and all of her strength. Violet's body is still in pain and continues to grow weak, but her heart grows stronger and stronger. Regardless of the pain she's going through, Violet is able to put a smile back on her face.
"Thank you Tony." She sighs. "Thank you." Instantly, Violet uses her energy to project a force field around herself. She frees herself and she floats around the Containment Room. She disperses her force field. Gravity grabs a hold of her as she falls hard to the ground. Her nose smashes against the steel floor. Violet groans in pain as her entire body starts aching. Violet's eyes begin to water, but she refuses to let her tears out. Tony needs her and she knows that this isn't the time for crying. Remembering Tony's powerful words, Violet regains her strength. She slowly gets back up to her feet, trying desperately to ignore the pain. With her legs trembling, Violet still manages to stand back up.
"Hang on Tony. I'm coming!" Violet said. She slowly moves her trembling legs. She is able to walk again. She walks over to the controllers. She notices many different kinds and colors of buttons. She finally pushes a large green button. The metallic balls attached to her hands and thighs immediately clip off. She was free. She slowly moves toward the door to Containment Room. The large steel door opened up and Violet walks out of the Containment Room and into the long corridor.
Violet slowly walks around the corridor. Her entire body is still in pain after being tortured for a few hours. She continues to limp across the long, gray hallway. She looks around, trying to find a way out. Minutes pass since Violet escape from the Containment Room. Violet has lost her way. She slumps against the wall, trying to catch her breath. She then hears footsteps. She looks to her right and notices two guards coming her way. Violet was frozen stiff. She closes her eyes and with her remaining energy, turns invisible. She covers her mouth as the two soldiers draw closer. The soldiers past by the invisible teenage girl as if she wasn't there. Violet sighs with relief. When the two soldiers were out of sight, Violet reappears.
"That was close." Violet sighs. "I got to keep going. Tony needs my help. I have to rescue him before something bad happens." She struggles to get back to her feet. Every time she rises in inch, pain rushes through her stomach, back and other parts of her body. She finally manages to stand up. She continues to limp across the hallway. She grows tired, exhausted, more fatigued the more she walks, but not only had she wanted to rescue Tony, but she also wants both of them to get off of the island safely. She comes to a large room with a steel door slightly open. She reaches for the door handle, but before her fingers can touch it, she hears laughter. Violet entire body was solid frozen. The laughter soon becomes voices. Violet gasps. She recognizes the voices. It was none other than Evila and her daughter Ultra.
"I'm telling you sweetie." Evila said. "You've made me very proud. By bringing this young man to our boarders, you not only destroyed one of the Incredibles but I believe you just found someone…"
"Mom." Ultra says embarrassingly. "Please. Stop it."
"I'm serious. Ultra, think about it. After we defeat the Incredibles, not only we will become the most powerful family in the world, but the entire world will grovel at our feet. Soon, your father and I will be the future king and queen of this planet. We will become so strong; no one would dare challenge us."
"What about Tony?" Ultra asks.
"What do you think of him?"
"Well, I think he's pretty cute. I mean, he surprised me when he beat up Incredigirl with his bare hands. He's pretty handsome before, but now he's with us, oh my God. I don't know mom. Every time I'm around him, he always makes me smile. He knows how to make me laugh. You don't get a guy like this everyday."
"I see." Evila states. "I see. I think I know what you're trying to tell me. Once we take over this planet, you're gonna become a great ruler just like your father and me. And Ultra, that will be the same day where you and Tony will be getting married." Ultra stares at her mother and she drops her mouth. She then starts giggling and begins to blush. Evila then looks out the window. She could see the ocean surrounding the island. Suddenly, she notices a reddish boat speeding towards the island. She grins as she turns back to her daughter.
"We have guests Ultra. You know what to do." Evila orders.
"Oh don't worry mom. This will be easy like throwing a punch into Incredigirl's face." Ultra turns around and heads for the door.
"Remember sweetie. Don't kill them. Let them have one last look at their daughter, before they die." Ultra nods her head. She continues to walk toward the door. Violet sees her coming. She slumps against the wall and gets ready to turn invisible. But before she can disappear, a powerful punch to her face sends her knocking to the ground. Ultra steps outside the room and steps on Violet's fatigued stomach without recognizing it. Ultra grins at the escaped prisoner and the looks back up. She sees Tony accompanied by a number of guards. Ultra grabs Violet by the hair and lifts her up.
"Well." Ultra grins. "Trying to escape are you?"
"G…G…G…Give up Ultra." Violet groans. "M…M…My family is c…c…c…coming for me."
"I know. Don't worry. I'll make sure your family doesn't find you before you die. Now what should I do with you? I can't kill you now. It's too early. And if I put you back in the Containment Room, you'll just escape you did a long time ago. So, what am I suppose to do with you? Hmmm…let me think about it for a few minutes." Ultra goes back into the large room. She looks back at Violet, Tony and the rest of the soldiers. "In the meantime, have some fun with her." The guards, along with Tony turn their eyes toward the fatigued Violet. Every one of them grins at the teenage girl as Violet braces herself for another beating.
Tony throws Violet against the wall and the teenager falls back on the ground, groaning in pain. Three soldiers follow with vicious stomps to her head and on her back. Violet struggles endure all of the pain. Finally, one of the soldiers kicks Violet in the stomach that sends her rolling on the ground. She clenches her aggrieved stomach. Finally, on soldier helps Violet to her feet. He then gives two ferocious punches to her belly. Violet moans as each fist collides against her body. Then, the soldier holds Violet in a full nelson hold, leaving her injured body open for Tony and the rest of the soldiers to attack. Tony goes up to the teenager and brutally pounds his fist against her belly. Violet cries in pain, but then another soldier punches aggressively on poor Violet's stomach. The soldiers, along with Tony, take turns punching, kicking, stomping, pounding and beating poor Violet's belly. Violet moans as the soldiers continue to pummel her abdomen. Five minutes later, Tony finishes by delivering one final punch to her belly. Violet falls to the ground and curls into a fetal position. Tony goes to Ultra, who is still thinking what she should do to Violet.
"Thought about it yet?" Tony asks. Ultra shakes her head. She looks back at Violet. Two guards help Violet to her feet. Ultra grins as she ruthlessly kicks Violet in between the legs. Violet squeals in pain. She falls to the ground and Ultra grins at the girl. Tony helps Violet to her feet. He grabs Violet in a vicious bear hug and starts squeezing the life out of her. Violet cries in pain as Tony ferociously crushes every bone in Violet's body. Tony finally releases the exhausted teenager. Tony then grabs Violet by the back of the neck and squeezes as hard as he could. Violet gasps for air as Tony tightens his grip on her neck. The soldiers laugh at the teenaged heroine. They line up in front of Violet as Tony continues to put more pressure on Violet's neck.
"Tony." Violet gags. "Let…go of me. Please…I…c…c…can't…breathe." Her pleads were futile. Tony grins and nods his head at the soldiers. The first soldier digs his fist into Violet's gut. The next gives a vicious knee to her stomach. A few more guards followed with a series of punches to her midsection. The next four soldiers thrust their shoulders on her chest. The last few soldiers punches Violet's belly. Tony finishes with one devastating blow to her gut. Violet falls to the ground and clenches her stomach. Tony kicks her in the chest and Violet rolls on her back. She opens her eyes and sees Ultra, Tony and the guards encircling her. The soldiers laugh at the poor girl and Tony gives Violet the thumbs down sign.
"No…Tony. Please…don't hurt me… (cough)…please." Tony shakes his head and proceeds with the beating.
The soldiers, Ultra and Tony stomp on Violet's head and midsection. A few soldiers kicks Violet right in the face. Tony then grabs Violet by her hair and lifts her up. Ultra ferociously gives a number amount of punches to Violet's face. Ultra knocks a few more teeth out of the heroine's jaw. Then finally, one fierce kick sends Violet slamming into a wall, making a large dent. Tony helps the injured Violet to her feet. He lifts her up and then he gives her a vicious piledriver. Violet's skull crash against the steel floor. Tony drops the teenage girl on the ground. Violet cries as her entire body hurts. She manages to open her eyes, only to see two soldiers grabbing her legs. The men twist and turn Violet's poor legs. Finally, the two men were able to lock in a vicious leg lock to Violet's leg. Violet squeals in pain. She felt as if her legs are about to snap off. She tries to break free, but it was no use. Then, two men grab both of her arms. The soldiers twist and turn Violet's arms until; finally, they were able to connect a monstrous and painful arm lock. Violet struggles as four soldiers try to break her arms and legs. Then, one of the soldiers plants his foot on Violet's neck. He puts a lot of pressure on her neck, choking the life out of the teenage girl. Then, one of the soldiers grabs Violet's hair. He tugs as hard as he could, trying to pull her hair out of her head. Ultra and Tony walks toward Violet's side. They stare at the beaten teenager. Finally, Ultra ferociously kicks Violet's ribs and Tony ruthlessly punches Violet in the stomach. For ten minutes, the soldiers break Violet's arms and legs; choke the life out of her while Ultra and Tony pummels Violet's aggrieved midsection. Tony and Ultra would occasionally take turns in punching her ribs and kicking her stomach. Ultra squeals as loud as she could. She could not move a single muscle in her body, let alone move at all. She has a really huge headache. Her back was real sore and felt as if it's been broken. Her stomach pain grows worst every time Ultra, Tony and the soldiers pummels it. Violet lets out a scream of pain.
"Enough of this!" shouted a voice. Ultra, Tony and the soldiers looks up and notices Evila standing in front of them. The soldiers release Violet's hair, throat, arms and legs. Ultra and Tony gives one more punch to her belly. Violet groans, yet she couldn't clench her stomach because she couldn't feel her arms, nor her legs.
"Ultra. What are you doing now?" Evila asks.
"Well, you see, Incredigirl was trying to escape, so we just had to teach her a lesson." Ultra answers.
"Why don't you just send her back to the Containment Room?"
"Got any better ideas?" Ultra wonders. Evila paces up and down the room, thinking. She stops, snaps her fingers and smiles.
"Yes. Why don't you take her to the dungeon?" Evila suggests.
"Yes mom." Ultra is about to walk away, when she froze. She looks back at her mother with curiosity. "Uh, mom? Where exactly is the dungeon?"
"Well, you can take the long way. Walk through many corridors and get to the other side of the island. Or, you can take the shortcut."
"What's the shortcut?" Ultra asks.
"This." Evila answers. She walks up to Incredigirl, who is barely conscious. She grabs Violet by the head and lifts her off the ground. Evila viciously slams Violet against the wall, making a huge dent. Evila slams Violet against the wall again, making the dent bigger and deeper. Finally after five slams, Evila smashes Violet through the wall. The teenager makes a large hole in the wall. She flips on her back and starts to cry. Evila looks back at her daughter and smiles.
"Just break through a few more walls and you'll reach the dungeon in no time." Evila says as she leaves the room. Ultra and Tony stare at each other. Tony walks over to Violet as Ultra looks toward the soldiers.
"Get going boys. We have guests coming over to our island." One by one, the soldiers evacuate the room until Ultra, Tony and a couple more soldiers are left with an injured Violet. Ultra points her hands toward Violet. Violet slowly levitates off the ground. The higher she goes, the louder she screams. Ultra smashes Violet through against another wall. Violet makes a large dent on the wall, but Ultra crash Violet into the wall, making the dent deeper and makes her spine injury worst. After five smashes into the wall, Ultra throws Violet one last time against the wall. Violet burst through the wall and falls on the steel floor. She cries in pain. Her back felt as if it has been broken. Tony walks up to Violet and helps her to her feet. Violet can barely keep her balance as she wobbles in the corridor. Tony grabs Violet by the head. He slams Violet against another wall off of Violet's skull. The impact makes a hole in the wall. Tony slams Violet's head into the wall once again, making her headache worst. Four times he did this and the hole on the wall grows larger. Then, with all of his might, Tony lifts Violet on his soldiers and throws her against the wall. Violet breaks through the wall and falls to the ground. She was in brutal pain. Her head aches, her stomach in severe pain, her back, arms and legs injured and every part in her body seems to be broken. Two guards grab Violet by the arms and pins her against the wall. Violet barely manages to open her eyes. She sees Tony lining up to her. He bends down and waits for a few seconds. He lets out a loud roar as he charges toward Violet. Violet closes her eyes. The soldiers let go of Violet's arms. Tony gives a brutal tackle to Violet's belly. He drives Violet against the walls of the corridor. Tony breaks though each wall on impact and Violet's back injury grows worst. Finally, Tony comes across a large steel door. He looks at Violet who is in severe pain. She groans continuously. Tony punches Violet's belly one last time and she falls to the floor. Ultra walks toward Tony and she wraps her arm around his arm.
"I hope you like the dark Incredigirl." Ultra says. "The dungeon will be a wonderful place for you to die. Don't worry, I'll tell your family everything my family and I did to you before we kill you and them. Enjoy your life while you still have one." Ultra viciously kicks Violet in the chest and Violet rolls in pain. Ultra gives a big guffaw as she walks and disappears in the hallway, leaving behind a beaten and hurt Violet and her former boyfriend, Tony; alone.
