Space Trip
"Dang it!" roared Mr. Incredible.
Elastigirl eyed her husband. "Honey, the children."
Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Valor, Invisigirl, Tony, and Dash all peered that the ascending rocket that transported Mastermind into space.
"Now what do we do?" asked Dash.
Valor smiled. "Why don't we follow him?"
Everyone gave him an awkward look. "Michael, how are we supposed to go up there when we don't have any transportation to. . ."
"You're wrong Violet." Valor interrupted. "We do, in fact, have a way of chasing him." the family eyed him questionably. Valor sighed, "Follow me."
Valor led the bunch through the jungle. Later, they came to a cave. They all went inside. Everyone looked dumbfounded as they gazed at the vast amount of aircrafts and battle planes. Valor walked through the cave and came across a spaceship like aircraft. He was later joined by his family and Tony.
"This is the Space Battle Plane. My dad built it for me when I was two years old."
"Why? Did he think you were going to use this to invade other planets?" Dash asked.
Valor went on. "This baby works like a spaceship, operates like a jet. It has plenty of room, equipped with five rocket accelerator thrusters, a laser cannon, works with a . . ."
"Okay, we get it!" declared an annoyed Invisigirl. Everyone giggled a bit. Then Elastigirl stepped up.
"So, it operates just like a jet?" She inquired. Valor "Okay, let's go!"
Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Valor, Invisigirl, Tony, and Dash all boarded the Space Battle Plane. Within minutes, our heroes flew out of the cave and launched up into space. After a couple seconds the space plane was ascending above the stratosphere. Everyone looked out the window. Never before had they ever been up in outer space.
"Wow, the stars are beautiful." Tony complemented. "Just like you Vi."
Dash looked disgusted. "Eww, gross!"
"Dash, be nice to your sister." warned Elastigirl.
Tony gazed at his girlfriend. She was sitting in her seat. She took off her mask and her headband. A large clump of her hair fell, veiling her face. Invisigirl sat with her arms crossed. She sat quiet and silent for the rest of the trip.
"Mom, set the coordinates toward the asteroid belt." commanded Valor. Elastigirl gave him a questioning appearance. "Trust me. That is where he went off to."
Elastigirl nodded, imputed the coordinates, and set it on autopilot mode. She got out of the pilot's seat. "If I calculated correctly, we should arrive at Asteroid Armageddon in about an hour."
"Asteroid Armageddon?" questioned a puzzled Mr. Incredible.
Valor started to explain the story behind Asteroid Armageddon. "Well, a little while ago, Mastermind flew up into space. He build a space module up in space called Asteroid Armageddon, a artificial earth sized and shaped asteroid. He planned to set it on a collision course to the earth. Fortunately, thanks to your friends, the Phantasmics, his diabolical plan was stopped. And, from the looks of things, it looks like he's planning to initiate that disastrous asteroid again."
"Interesting," Tony commented.
Afterwards, things became quiet again. The entire space plane became silent. Ten minutes later Dash started to sing the most annoying song in the world.
"Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall! Ninety-nine bottles of beer!" he sang.
"DASH, SHUT UP!" Valor demanded.
Silently, Dash continued the song. He sang quietly. He just got to bottle number twenty one before he decided to give up. Minutes later, he decided to play a game.
"Okay everyone. I spy with my little eye, something that is black"
"Space." answered Tony.
"Okay, I spy something that is long, tubed shaped. . ." Dash riddled.
"The laser cannon." Tony replied.
The two went on with their tedious eye spy game. They played for a long time. Finally, Dash spotted a crucial point in space.
"Tony, I spy something red and. . ."
"Your dad's super suit."
"Wrong, it's Mars." Dash pointed. The family all looked out the window. Just like that, they had passed the Solar System's red planet. Everyone stared in awe as they passed by Mars for the first time in everyone's lives.
"Enjoy this guys." reminded Valor. "We will be arriving at the Asteroid Belt very shortly."
Elastigirl looked at Mr. Incredible, Dash, Tony, and Valor gazed with reverence into the vast Solar System. She noticed someone was missing. She turned and saw her daughter, still sitting with her arms and legs folded and hiding behind her hair. Elastigirl walks over to Invisigirl and sits by her.
"Hey Violet. Are you okay."
Invisigirl replied in a gloomy, sulky monotone. "I'm fine mom. Why do you ask?"
"Well Vi, there are three symptoms showing something is wrong with you. One, you speak in a pessimistic kind of voice. Two, you been very quiet for the last hour or so. Three, and probably the most obvious of all, your face is hiding behind your hair." She told her. "Is there something you would like to tell me sweetie?"
Invisigirl gazed at her mother with solemn, affectionate eyes. "Mom. . ." she softly spoke. "Mom, look what happened with Snug. . ." Elastigirl's smile of reassurance started to fade from her face. "Look, I'm sorry." Invisigirl continued. She started to stutter. "I tired to save him. . . but I. . . I mean I wanted to save him but. . . but. . . I just couldn't. I mean. . ." Finally, she was able to finish off what she wanted to say. Tears started to shed from her eyes. "I'm sorry mom. I wanted to save Snug. I'm sorry for letting him die. I am a weak Super mom. I am a disgrace to the world, all Supers, and my family. I'm the weakest, most pathetic, Super Hero of all."
Elastigirl placed a finger on her daughter's lips. "Shhh. Oh Violet. Snug's death isn't your fault. I know you have been place in a situation like that before.
(Start flashback)
"PUT A FIELD AROUND US NOW!" demanded Helen as the missiles drew closer.
"Mom, I've never done one that big before!" Violet answered.
"VIOLET! DO IT NOW!"
(End flashback)
"Believe me sweetie, I know if there was something you could do, you would do it." said Elastigirl. She wrapped arms around her teary daughter.
"I know you are probably very disappointed in me mom." said Invisigirl, looking down at the floor with less confidence.
Elastigirl wiped off her daughter's tears. "Of course not sweetie. Like I told you, if there was something you could do, I know you would do it. I know after not being able to save Snug, you are very unsure about this mission. The truth is Violet, you are not a weak Super. You are one of the strongest Super Heroines I know. True super hero strength is not measured on how many people you can save, or how many bad guys you are able to defeat. True strength is measured by the heart of the Super. I mean, take Meta Man for an example. He has defeated more Super Villains more than your father and I have combined. But once things don't go his way, he would just give up and throw the towel in. You aren't like that Vi. I know. Remember when you and Michael both took on Nightmare, the greatest Super Villain of all time? Both of you fought the most grueling, most intense fight of your lives. And there were times when Nightmare completely beat both of you guys down. Still, both of you continued to fight on until Nightmare was defeated. And remember the Senator Bernard Pine incident? He threatened to eliminate all Supers from the earth. It was a perilous and a highly dangerous mission, even for your father and I. Still, both you and Michael displayed true courage and strength by accepting the mission and successfully accomplished it. And, I'm sad to say it, but remember when Mastermind hypnotized me, Dash and your dad? Sure you've take the beating of your life and went through so much pain and suffering, even to the verge of death. But your heart was strong and determined. Strong and willing enough to endure the pain, and determined to get us and Tony back. I'm not at all disappointed at you Violet. In fact, I'm very proud of my only daughter. Not because you are a Super Hero, but because you are my girl." Elastigirl brushed Invisigirl's hair behind her ear. She took her daughter's headband and placed it on her head, exposing her cute, pretty face. After she placed her mask on her face, she concluded with one final, caring statement. "My strong, determined, courageous, growing girl."
Invisigirl stopped crying. She wiped the last of her tears. She gazed at her mother with cute, affectionate eyes. Invisigirl gave her mother a long tender hug. Finally, Valor saw a huge asteroid ahead.
"There it is! Asteroid Armageddon." Valor pointed to an asteroid module. The Space Plane drew nearer and nearer. It docked to an entrance nearby. "Gravity level is normal, all Supers ready, let's go guys!" commanded Valor.
Invisigirl was the last to leave. She gave a sigh of nervousness and pressed on. Whatever lied ahead, she didn't know, but she was ready to face it. No matter how great the challenge.
