I AM THE QUEEN OF ALL TWISTS! Okay, maybe not, but still. I laugh! Did I fool you? Did I? Did I? Did I? (giggles maniacally)
That's right! The betrayer was NOT Tony Rydinger! Not Rick Dicker (although why you'd think that, I haven't a clue)! No, not even Kermit the Frog! It was Kari McCean or whatever her last name is, the Babysitter! Watch as the pop-tarts rule!
"Are you sure those things are safe?" she asked the Underminer, pointing to the knights and rats which the group of supers were trying to ward off while they stood in a perfected shock (none of a higher standard than that of Violet).
"You need to be quiet, minion."
"Now that's not very nice!"
"What the heck is going on?" Elastigirl exclaimed as she stole one of the knights swords and (here's the wind-up)- POW! used it to hit a homerun with the knight's head. Crash! It dead. That's 1 out of 20.
Rapid Fire yelled to Shadow, "Isn't that the -whoop- babysitter we hired for Jack-Jack?" as he ducked under a knight's legs, ran up a wall, and flipped back onto that very knight's shoulders, proceeding to bang on his head like it was New Year's. (2/20)
The moment Rapid Fire said 'Jack-Jack,' though, Kari jumped five feet in the air, coming back down on top of the Underminer looking like a cat that had just had its tail stepped on. Not that the Underminer was exactly thrilled with getting squashed by a fifteen year old girl.
"Gitoff me!"
"I'm stuck!"
"Then un-stuck yourself!" the Underminer shouted, pulling her off and tossing her three feet away.
"Ow! My bum!"
Shadow, who'd just turned invisible and taken a loose pipe nearby to two knights' "happy places," then to their heads (4/20), ran up to Kari.
"KARI?" Violet screamed (as was her specialty) at her friend. "HOW DID THIS- WHAT IS- WHY ARE YOU- WHAT THE (bleep)!"
"Violet Mary Parr!" Mrs. Incredible shouted over the fighting.
Kari, cowering from Violet's outbursts, stood up. "Well what does it look like?"
"HOW'D YOU KNOW! YOU GOT YOUR MEMORY- HOW DID-?"
"I remembered."
"But how!"
"Well, I don't know!" Kari said, as though it should be obvious. "I just saw you talking on Sarah's cell phone, and I just remembered that you hired me to watch your baby brother."
"BUT THAT'S IMPOSS-…ible…" Oooooohhhhh, no it wasn't. The same thing had happened to Tony, hadn't it?
Meanwhile, Frozone was laying on as thick a layer as he could of ice onto one of the rats' legs. The giant mechanical beast snarled at him. However, Frozone suddenly got hit in the side of the head by another rat's tail, sending him flying and his ice beam every which way. Whether he realized it or not, he accidentally froze a pipe to one of the boilers, which went BOOM! about ten seconds later.
You might be wondering why the Underminer or his Robo-Crocs hadn't interrupted Violet and Kari's conversation. That would be because at the moment, he and his protectors weren't in the general vicinity of the supers. No, he was in a separate part of the boiler room, getting ready for something…
"But- but- why?" Violet asked hysterically of her friend.
"THE BABY WAS EXPLODING! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN EXPLODING BABY! IT'S NOT VERY PRETTY!"
"I KNOW! I LIVE WITH ONE!"
"…You have a good point."
At that moment, a knight clattered his way towards the girls (Kari, of course, screamed), his sword raised to slice the super in half. In response, Shadow put a forcefield around him and turned her attention back to Kari, who watched amused as the knight tried to figure out what the heck was going on.
"But why would you tell a criminal about us? Why didn't you come ask me or something! Look at this mess!" Vi said, motioning with her arm around the boiler room. At the moment, Rapid Fire was running about frantically with four knights on his tail, Elastigirl was making good use of her new sword by dueling with three knights of her own, Frozone was multi-tasking by freezing knights to various walls with one hand and trying to keep one of the Robot Rats at bay with the other, and Mr. Incredible was trying to keep from being torn to shreds by the other three large rodents. Very messy. I believe the count is about 9/20 knights now.
"Because my uncle is paying the Underminer anyways! Oh hey! He exploded! Fireworks!" Kari exclaimed happily, watching the knight that had been in Vi's forcefield explode after a number of bad attempts to escape on his part. Boom. (10/20)
"AND WHO THE HECK IS YOUR UNCLE?" Frozone screamed as he skied past, two rodents and a knight chased after him. He promptly made an ice beam, which he shoved into the first rat's throat, then the second rat's, and finished it by freezing the beam to their heads. Then skied as quickly as possible from the knight. However, the knight himself slipped on the ice Zone was skiing on and skidded across the floor until his head got stuck in a boiler. (11/20) (2/4)
"Oh he's very important, Mr. Ice!" Kari said happily (A/N what a ditz). "He's a Congressman!"
Whoa, hold on a second. Pause. Rewind. Play.
"Oh he's very important, Mr. Ice!" Kari said happily (A/N what a ditz). "He's a Congressman!"
Shadow turned her attention from putting a forcefield around Rapid Fire (thus saving him from becoming knight sushi), and looked back at Kari wide-eyed. "Wh-…Wh-wh-whayu? What? C-K-C-Congressman? Wh-What kind of Congressman?"
"There's more than one type? So THAT explains why I'm failing Government and Politics class!"
"KARI WHO THE HELL IS YOUR UNCLE!"
"McCormick."
This is the part where your face (and that of the supers) drop in utter "you have got be kidding me."
A new determination swept over Mr. Incredible. He was NOT going to waste another moment fighting these pieces of junk when he could be finding the little creep Underminer. And thus, he started pulling boilers out of their places in the room and throwing them at knights. In five seconds, 20/20. Oh, and Elastigirl was elasti-cutting the wires of the rats apart very, very quickly with her little sword (thank goodness she wasn't around during the feudal era is all I have to say).
Just then, a very loud beeping sound echoed through the room.
"Ho boy."
"Thank you, son."
"That… would be my cue to leave!" Kari said quickly, dashing away from the supers. But that's kind of hard when a forcefield pops up around you.
"D'OW!" she yelped, grabbing her nose which she'd just run into the semi-transparent wall.
"Kari," Shadow said threateningly pleasantly (A/N is that even a term?), approaching her. "What's going on?"
"I dunno!" she blurted out as she was turned to face the surrounding, impatient supers.
"Kari, this is like baseball. Three strikes and you're out."
Gulp.
"What's going on?"
"This would be the part where the Underminer shows up in his super-rodent-electronic suit thing with lots and lots of robot alligators."
"Why?" Frozone asked, still utterly befuggled and getting frustrated.
"So that he can kill you and your family and take over the city and die a martyr with his whole story on the front page when the army kills him, thus ruining your career as a super hero. Or was it so that he could get discount banana splits? He's a very odd fellow."
"This would qualify as a disaster," Rapid Fire said to his parents.
"Yes it would! Everyone split up and shout if you find him!" Mr. Incredible ordered as he went sprinting off. Elastigirl set out too, and Rapid Fire went to circling the room. Frozone moved out next, and Shadow was about to start searching, dragging Kari along behind her, when she heard something from the elevator chamber. Looking over her shoulder, Shadow saw one of the last things she needed at the moment: Jack-Jack, floating up from the elevator shaft.
"AAAAAAAAAA!" Kari screamed at the sight of him.
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me!" Shadow yelled at the beeping, running to grab her brother.
"Violet?" Frozone yelled after her (as he hadn't quite left earshot yet), then following the two teenage girls back into the dome-roofed room.
Shadow ran into the room, leapt and grabbed her brother, landing on her back on top of the elevator roof just as Kari and Frozone came into the room.
"Violet, what are you doing!"
"KEEP IT AWAY!"
"Jack-Jack, don't you ever-" but Violet was suddenly very distracted by what she saw in the center of the roof above her which she hadn't seen before.
"Violet, we've gotta go! What if that… guy gets too much of a head start?"
"Zone?" Shadow said, cradling Jack-Jack in one arm as she stood up, never taking her eyes off the roof. "Look," she said, pointing. Kari and Frozone looked up.
There in the center of the roof was a circular tile of sorts, just the size of the elevator, labeled "The Mole."
"I have an idea," Shadow said.
"A BAD idea!" Kari said.
"I like the idea. C'mon," Frozone said, leading Kari next to himself and Shadow on top of the elevator. He aimed and shot an ice-beam at the metal circle, thus sending it flying and a-clanging into the room above. By that point, Shadow had found the controls on the elevator that took them up, and hit the button. Within seconds, the loud beeping sound from the boiler room disappeared, and they were in the Underminer's favorite invention.
"Wow, it's dark in here."
"Yeah, where the lights?"
Bing! The lights were on.
"Oh that's cool."
"Abba boo!"
"You better keep that thing away from me."
"Kari!"
"Enough you two. What do we do now?"
"Uh… find the controls, I guess," Shadow suggested. However, gazing around this part of the Mole quickly produced no such controls. Kari did find something of interest on one of the walls, though.
"'In loving memory, to my comrades,'" she recited from an engraving at the top of the wall. Her gaze came down to two cubbyholes in the iron-plated wall, one with a statue of a young man, one with the statue of a young woman. "Hey, check this out guys!" Kari yelled to the others. Shadow and Frozone walked over, mesmerized by the extremely realistic statues. The Underminer had even sculpted their clothes.
"Weird…"
"Icky moo!" Jack-Jack squealed.
"Hey, guys? I'm not so sure these are-"
Foom. The statues opened their eyes. Their entirely black eyes.
Everyone screamed and jumped back.
"-statues…" Frozone completed, completely startled. The adrenaline was pumping, let me tell you.
And then they started moving towards the four very scarred people, ever so slowly.
"It's Ricky and Lucy!" Frozone yelled in disgusted shock, watching the machines approach.
"Ricardo?" Only you, Kari.
"No, dead! Run!" Violet screamed and the four of them hightailed it to the other side of the room, where they thankfully found a door and bolted through it, shutting and locking it from the other side.
"That was close," Lucious breathed.
"Yeah," Violet agreed as they all turned around to look in the room they were in now. Violet half-gasped, half-shrieked while Kari's jaw full-blown dropped.
The ginormous room was filled wall to wall with mice, rats, and other creepy-crawly rodents. Shadow suddenly remembered falling into a hole on this thing the first time she fought the Underminer, and landing in this room.
Suddenly, there was a clawing and moaning sound from the other side of the door.
Kari turned to face the author and asked, "Are you sure this fiction doesn't belong in the horror genre?"
Meanwhile, Violet (still holding onto Jack-Jack) had leapt onto Frozone's back, watching with bug eyes as the rodents scrambled in every direction. "They're everywhere!" she squeaked, truly petrified.
"C-C'mon! J-just put a forcefield around yourself or something!" Frozone pleaded. Then sneezed. I guess it doesn't help that he's allergic, huh?
"Oh, hehe, right." Shadow did just that, then started to roll uncontrollably over the creatures towards the other side of the room. Ew ew ew ew ew!
Unfortunately, these rodents must have been hyper smart, because once they noticed she was injuring their fellows, many of the critters began to 'attack' the bubble.
"Maybe that wasn't such a great idea, Mr. Ice," Kari suggested.
"Ya think?" Shadow shrieked as she rolled around the room on a wave of rodents.
"I'll take care of it!" Frozone declared, stretching his arms out. And thus were all of the Underminer's pets turned into icicles, including the ones climbing around on Violet's bubble. Which means Frozone accidentally froze Shadow's bubble, with her in it, as well.
"Well, this is just peachy! How'm I s'posed to get outta this?"
"Any chance you can un-freeze stuff, Mr. Ice?"
"Uh… how much air you got in there, Violet?"
"I'd say I'll be alive another five minutes if I hold my breath for two. Wanna make this snappy?"
"We could let in the monsters about to break down the door."
"The goal is to save her and have the three of us still alive as well."
"Well excuse me for making a suggestion."
"One minute for me to live and counting, guys! Let's go!"
But it was Jack-Jack who would save the day. You see, back at Dean's house earlier in the day, there hadn't been too much baby food, so Bob had just mashed up leftover pizza for the baby. Since then, he had yet to be burped. And thus was his dragon-breath power discovered.
FOOOOOM! The ice-bubble melted, and Shadow was saved. That's one heckuva burp.
"Ew!"
"Hey, you saved my life, Jack-Jack!"
"And ruined mine, this was my favorite shirt, Vi!"
"Do you two ever stop?"
"No."
Frozone sighed and marched forward to the next door, grumbling about how Bob owed him money for baby-sitting.
Meanwhile, Rapid Fire, Mr. Incredible, and Elastigirl had most definitely found the Underminer. Not that they were happy about it, seeing as they were currently surrounded on all sides by Robo-Crocs, leaving them stuck to watch the Underminer about to jump out a window with his flying-super-suit on, a whole army of inventions already piling outdoors.
"Let's hope Frozone kissed his wife good-bye, eh, Incredible?" the Underminer yelled before giving in to a raucous laugh and jumping outside.
"What d'we do?" Rapid Fire yelled.
"It would be a nice time for ideas, Bob," Mrs. Incredible agreed.
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking," he said, looking from his wife to the crocs to Dash. Then POP!
"I got it! Helen, boomerang!"
"What? This isn't the time to be-!"
"Just- make- boomerang!" Mr. Incredible shouted desperately, grabbing his wife and throwing her molding body around at the Robo-Crocs just as they attacked, like a boomerang. Pow, pow, bam, bang, foom, fam, crash, BANG!… Well, so much for them, huh?
"Dash, run and find the others!"
"On my way!" Dash yelled over his shoulder as he sprinted back towards the boiler room (they'd found the Underminer several stories up from there).
Helen looked up at her husband slightly amused by what had just happened. "I swear, Bob, for a moment I'd thought you-"
"AaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Dash was running back towards his parents as very quickly as he could, screaming like a banshee. At the last moment, Bob grabbed his son just as he was about to jump out the Underminer's window.
"Whoa, whoa, hold your horses! What's got you in such a hurry (even for you)?"
"Big! Tank! Must! Run!" Dash replied, unable to form a complete sentence in his state of panic.
As if on cue, the floor beneath the three Incredibles began to shake violently and they were all about ready to jump out the window when the "Mole" came crashing up through the next-door-room's floor and the walls.
"What in Dicken's name!" Helen exclaimed, completely at a loss for comprehensible vocabulary.
The gigantic drill stopped and out of the top popped Frozone, Shadow, Jack-Jack, and Kari.
"You got that right, Mom," Dash agreed, looking at what was before him.
"WHO NEEDS A HUMMER WHEN YOU GOT THIS BABY, HUH!" Kari yelled loudly before jumping back down into the control room.
"Mom, Dad! Where's the Underminer?"
"You just missed him," Mrs. Incredible shouted up to Shadow. "We have to hurry; he's just headed out after Honey and the entire city after that!"
"WHAT!" Lucious exclaimed. "Well I'll teach that low-life, sonuva gun who's gonna be where by the time this is over, I tell you that!" he muttered as he jumped back into the machine. "WHICH BUTTON IS FORWARD, BOB!"
"Well how should I know."
"Hey!" Rapid Fire exclaimed. "I gotta plan!"
"Let's hope it doesn't involve Twinkies," Violet said.
"I'm serious! I think this could work!"
"Then please share so I can save my wife!" Lucious said, leaping back out in his frustrated panic.
---time skip--- (A/N this is one long chapter, huh?)
"This has got to be one of the most ridiculous plans I have ever carried out in my career," Lucious said aloud.
He watched Kari at the driver's seat of the Mole (which had obviously been designed for someone shorter than either them), Jack-Jack sleeping in his arms. The insanely giddy teenager was slowly lowering the titanic machine to ground level, where they planned to drive out of whatever building they were in and chase after the Underminer in the city, destroying as many of his toys as they could along the way.
Just a few moments before, Shadow had jumped out the same window the Underminer had with Elastigirl, who had shaped herself into a hang-glider (an interesting sight). They were going to find Honey and hopefully get her somewhere safe.
Meanwhile, Rapid Fire and Mr. Incredible were running back to the Disco Rat. Well, Mr. Incredible was running there, and Dash was running between the two.
Whiz! "C'mon Dad! Two more floors to go!" Whiz!
"You (huff puff) get back-"
Whiz! "87..." Whiz!
"-here or I'll (huff puff)-"
Whiz! "88. Come ON! Let's move, Dad!" Whiz!
"That boy…"
"89. Almost there! Give yourself a pat on the back!"
"Son."
"Just a sec." Whiz!
…
Whiz! "90! Yes?"
"Please stop."
They had finally made it to the boiler room and were sprinting (with Bob wheezing the whole way) to the elevator when they heard a gargantuan crash above them.
CRASH!
"What the-?"
"Watch it!" Frozone yelled at Kari from inside the Mole as they crashed through the front door (correction: front wall) of what turned out to be an old abandoned water treatment plant of some sort a few miles north of downtown in a wooded area (as I'm sure you recall).
"WHEEEEEEEEE!"
Kari was having what some call "too much fun." Too much driving a 700 ton automobile like it was a street car. Meanwhile, Frozone was trying to deal with a crying baby and living through the joys of a fourteen-year-old girl who didn't even have her driver's permit yet.
"How many times have you driven?" he asked as they bulldozed another tree.
"This is my first time!"
"Oh dear."
"Chitti-chitti-bang-bang, chitti-chitti-bang-bang, we love you!"
"No we don't! Here, take this," Frozone shouted, shoving the insane creature out of the chair and away from the steering while handing her Jack-Jack, who immediately recognized her. She did him as well, and, needless to say, she screamed as Jack-Jack went to his favorite hobby of terrorizing her.
"Lift! I need lift!" Violet screamed to her airborne mother as she herself scrambled with her legs to keep them from tumbling into the trees on the rather breezeless night.
"Violet, calm down! If you keep kicking like that, we're going to- WHOA!"
Updraft. They were now much higher.
"Well… that was enough lift."
"Certainly was."
Violet suddenly spotted something that made her stomach go topsy-turvy. And no, it was not that she looked down. "Mom."
"Hm? What is it, sweetie?"
"Duck."
"What?"
"Down! Down!" Shadow screamed as she directed her link to her altitude lower, just in time to keep from being hit by a small, private plane.
"He nearly hit us!" Helen shouted.
"I noticed," Violet said, her heart thundering in her chest.
"Airplanes should have horns! Imagine if he had hit us!"
Violet burst out laughing at her mother's suggestion, thus causing them to fall close enough to the trees for Violet to run on their tops for a while before another breeze carried them up and towards the city lights.
"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-MN-N-N-N-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-OT-T-T-T-T-T-S-S-S-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-S-S-U-U-U-U-UR-UR-UR-R-R-R-E-A-A-A-A-B-B-B-B-O-O-OU-U-U-U-U-U-T-T-T-TH-TH-TH-TH-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-S-S-S-S-S!" Bob yelled to his son from atop the Disco Rat. Oh yes, they'd pressed the big blue button. At the moment, Dash was running in little orbits around the robot as it sped through the city's sewers.
"WOHOO! OH! HIT THE BRAKES!" Rapid Fire commanded, he himself stopping on a dime. Mr. Incredible and the Robot Rat on the other hand, went sailing past.
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH-BAM!…roll-roll-roll-roll (Dash watched as a large "hubcap" that had been on the rat's thigh rolled past him).
"Ouch."
"Dad, c'mere! I think this could be the one!" Rapid Fire said, pointing up to a manhole cover above him. Mr. Incredible limped towards him, holding his back, and (with the aid of one of the ladder rungs) shot himself up the tunnel and punched the manhole cover so that it went flying into the sky, giving Incredible time to look about. It seems he startled the customers to an open air restaurant nearby.
"I don't think this is the one, D- I mean, Rapid Fire," he called down to his son.
"Well then hurry up!"
Bob jumped back down the tube just as the manhole cover clanged back into place, its first and only 35,000 feet journey officially over.
If you were wondering what them two were up to, Lucious had recalled that there was a manhole cover directly in front of his apartment building and they were searching for it. You see, it was going to be difficult for Shadow and Elastigirl to find Honey's residence from the air. That is, unless they got a signal like, say, a rocket shot from the back of a pink and yellow robotic rat. From there, the boys would take to destroying the Underminer's army of critters.
Speaking of Honey, she was pacing around the kitchen of Lucious's and her apartment as she tried to prepare breakfast (at six in the morning on a Sunday. Someone's been up all night). She was getting worried, if not a bit impatient with her husband. He hadn't called since yesterday from some kid's garage to report Edna (whom she'd never met) was taking over the world or something. She turned on the TV in frustration, knowing all too well that there would be nothing on. But after about three minutes of searching through infomercials, all of the local channels seemed to go to special reports. Flicking between them, this is what she heard:
"A large army of robots has just entered-"
"-the Mole is nowhere to be seen on his latest excursion-"
"-appears to be led by the 'Underminer'-"
"-police force being overwhelmed by the-"
"-in, the federal troops may-"
"-as you can see- Dan, look out!" The station's camera feed went dead, the last thing the audience saw being a large, red-eyed Robot Rat attacking the camera man.
"One can only ask, 'where are the supers now?'"
Honey walked horrified to the window overlooking the street. "You got that right, lady."
"Oh my goodness! The Mole!" the reporter screamed as the camera zoomed in on the tank and Honey jumped over the sofa to get to the TV again.
Kari yelped as she clung to Jack-Jack (who was lifting her into the air as he levitated) and the Mole crashed through the streets, destroying dozens of robots at a time as it crushed them. "You call that driving!" she screamed.
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do!"
"Gah!" Kari cried as Jack-Jack suddenly went gooey on her (and her clothes). "Gross!"
The jello stuff giggled.
"Yiee!"
"Show yourself, you double-crossing, yellow-bellied, mouse-sized skunk!" Frozone shouted at the video screens, searching for the Underminer. Then, he spotted him. The Underminer, according to the camera, was about two blocks down the street they'd just crossed, leading his army from his helicopter-like flying chair. That's when Lucious realized that they weren't that far from his apartment.
"Ready, D- I mean, Rapid Fire?"
"Ready!"
"Fire!" Mr. Incredible shouted as he hit the button that launched rockets of the Robot Rat's back (who was now completely hubcap-less, if you get my drift). Rapid Fire, in the meantime, was scaring off nearby robots with a sparkler. Giant, bright fireworks went off, one right after another, above the manhole, until Bob was out of rockets. (A/N happy fourth of july!) Turning to face the numerous machines before his son, the Disco rat, and himself, Bob rolled his neck. "Showtime."
"There!" Shadow shouted up to Elastigirl. "Go right!"
Whoosh!
"Not that far right!"
"Well I can't see what I'm doing!"
"Stop yelling at me!"
"I'm not yelling!"
"Fine! Turn left again when we go around this building."
"Fine!" Elastigirl yelled over the wind as she and Shadow flew between skyscrapers and apartment buildings. As they turned left, a breeze caught them and carried them up as well, above most of the buildings, and Shadow was suddenly aware of a few problems.
Mr. Incredible whirled a Robo-Croc around by its tail, letting it go to sail through the crowd of robots destroying the city. Another Rat lunged for him, and in response he threw a car at the thing's head. Rapid Fire was leading other robots (mostly the Rats) to Disco Rat, who quickly dispersed them. After the two of them performed the stunt for a fifth time, Rapid Fire looked down the street.
"Dad! Dad! Look!"
Mr. Incredible looked to where his son was pointing as soon as he got his fist out of the Robo-Croc's mouth (taking numerous microchips with him). Only a block away was the Underminer, flying their way.
"We gotta stop him!" he shouted.
"How?" Rapid Fire asked as he jumped away from another Rat (Disco Rat was going to get many treats after this mess).
Incredible hesitated for a moment, searching for an answer, before turning to face the Disco Rat.
Suddenly, a loud crashing noise echoed through the street, and Dash and Bob looked up to see the Mole chugging towards them from about two blocks behind the Underminer. Looking up to see that also caused their lines of vision to notice a red and black colored figure flying high with a similarly colored hang-glider.
"Mom! The Underminer's almost there!" Shadow shouted. Unfortunately, Helen wasn't the only one who heard her. The Underminer turned around in his chair to face them.
"You two!" the criminal bellowed, enraged.
"Violet, get ready for a very hard ride," Helen murmured.
"You lot will never live to hear my triumphant cry!" the Underminer screamed, taking a small metal ball out of his jacket and throwing it towards them.
"Which way?" Elastigirl yelled.
"Uh- Left!"
The hang-glider swerved to the left just as the metal ball exploded in midair in what had been right in front of Vi's face not three seconds before. The Underminer bellowed in fury, throwing another ball at them as he sped towards the apartment building, bent on proving his destiny.
"Up!" Shadow cried, and Elastigirl obeyed. They got out of the way of that one quickly enough so that they could catch up to the Underminer for a moment before he tossed another one.
"Okay, Dash?" Mr. Incredible checked that his son understood his directions.
"I got it!" he said as he climbed on top of one of Bob's arms, holding one of his hands with both of his.
As the Disco Rat warded off one opponent after another, Mr. Incredible started to spin around, Rapid Fire hanging off one arm from the momentum. "Now!" he cried, letting go of his son's hands so that he went flying into the army of robots. Bob watched anxiously, hoping that the stunt would work.
As Rapid Fire fell towards the car-sized creatures, feet first, he started his legs up. He hit the top of them already at top speed so that as he went, he was able to run along the tops of them all the way to the Mole. As soon as he jumped inside the tank, he was already shouting, "Zone! Zone!"
"Speedo?"
Meanwhile, Mr. Incredible was about to jump back down into the sewer beneath the manhole cover when he noticed, horrified, that his wife and daughter were racing with the Underminer (who was definitely cheating) towards the apartment building where Honey was (who was also quite noticeably standing right by the window, watching). He would have continued watching except another Croc attacked him, biting at his arm. Just then, Rapid Fire whizzed back to his father's side at such a speed it knocked the Robo-Croc over.
The Underminer chucked another blow-up ball at the girls; Shadow didn't even need to speak anymore to get Elastigirl to dodge in the best direction (in this case, down). In fact, due to some clever dodging on their part, they were almost even with the Underminer now. He threw two now, and the pair had to do a corkscrew to keep from being hit. However, the move gave the Underminer time to throw a third one at them, and by the time they noticed it coming and reacted by twisting to the left and up (closer to the apartment building), the ball exploded. They both yelped when bits of burning metal and flame hit Helen in what was normally her arms, Violet in the arm and side.
The Underminer took his chance. He spun around in his chair, getting his bearings as he searched for the right building and right room. However, the girls were already recovering and speeding for the window. When he noticed they were about to beat him to the wife of his nemesis, the Underminer growled ferociously, throwing metal balls towards the window as he zoomed for it as well.
Everything felt like it happened in slow motion and fast motion at the same time. Helen, not ten feet away from the window and closing in fast with the Underminer another ten feet behind, ordered Violet to jump. Vi let go of the hang-glider bar, flying towards the window with both arms out while Helen pulled up and grabbed hold of a flagpole on the building, completely worn out as she was. Violet crashed through the window, hearing a woman's scream, Honey's scream, as she essentially tackled the woman, also hearing several small objects flying through the air towards her from behind. The two crashed to the floor.
Fft.
BOOM, Boom, BOOM!
Shadow opened her eyes, and Honey and she looked up towards the window. There was the Underminer, pounding on a semi-transparent, purplish wall that Violet had instinctively put up in place of the window. The Bomb Balls had exploded on that.
"He could use a shower," was the first thing out of Honey's mouth.
"You can't take this away from me! I'll kill you for this! Expose you to the world! Your lives are over, you hear me! Do you he-" POW!
Helen, who'd been just above the fellow, had stretched down and given him a good, well-deserved whack in the jaw, sending him soaring back over the street.
"Pull!" Dash shouted as the dirt-bag was almost over the manhole cover. Foosh! Bob threw the cover up towards the Underminer and it beaned him in the head, also hitting the helicopter chair and breaking it. The Underminer quickly descended towards the earth and, right on cue, Frozone did the most incredible feat he had ever done in his life. He froze an entire block's worth of robotic monsters and the unconscious Underminer himself, locking him up quite well for the cops.
It was over.
Violet released her forcefield and looked out at the street below. "I wonder how we're gonna clean that up."
God, what a long chapter. I'm so happy! You have no idea how much fun that was! Cookies and Pop-tarts go well together. Hm, I wonder if they make chocolate chip Pop-tarts. But anyways, yes, this fan fiction is almost over. It's taken more than half a year, but it's finally rounding down. But do you wanna know the good news? I'm planning a sequel! BWA HAHAHAHAHA!
Review…? (And I swear, if you say this thing left something to be desired, I will not hesitate to do you harm)
