And on we go, thanks for your responses and reviews
Violet struggled through the remains of the lair. Broken glass and beams blocking her way, her suit became ripped and tattered as metal shards tired to rip at her skin. Every so often she had to go another way as the trail of destruction her cousin had left behind. Once or twice she slipped of flesh, the remains of the poor men who had tried to stop Dan. She could barley understand how the boy could do this, how he could gain the power to do such a thing, unlike her cousin she had never killed before nor had she felt the dark rage that had come with the death of Dans sibling.
She struggled onwards, closing her eyes to avoid the awful sights, keeping invisible and out of sight, she passed a group of fleeing guards and realised she was close to where her cousin was. She advanced as slowly as possible, careful not to make a noise and she finally turned a last corner and came to the ruined wreak of the gates. Hunter's voice boomed around the tunnel, and she made sure she was invisible.
She advanced slowly and cautiously, try to get an idea of what was going on, listening intently to Hunters voice, and Dans replies. "Still upset about your sisters death Danny boy, still want revenge?"
"You know what I want Hunter,"
"I enjoyed killed her Danny boy, once I got her trapped in that corner I enjoyed firing the shot that finished her off. She was a pretty thing wasn't she Danny boy, so much wasted potential so much…" Dan responded to this with a cry of rage which made Violet wince and the lights flickered and then went back. A gust of wind rushed past her, showing the sheer force of the boy attack. Surely Hunter couldn't have survived that.
"That the best you can do Danny boy? Your as weak as your sister." Vi peered over the parapet and looked at the battle scene, Dan was facing Hunter, breathing heavily. His opponent, encased in black armour was laughing, holding a ball of glowing blue engery before him. Behind Hunter the walls where blackened, several parts had fallen down but the monster was unharmed. Then it all changed, the ball in hunters hands changed colour to a deep read and the room suddenly felt cold. Then, suddenly, everything began to be sucked towards the ball, gravel and stones flew from behind Violet towards the ball and she had to firmly anchor herself to the stones below to avoid being sucked in. Dan was having the same problem too, suddenly he looked thin and weak, so very, very weak.
Then the room exploded, shards of blinding light rushing from the ball in all directions. A great whistling started which slowly increased in intensity and Violet closed her eyes and covered her ears to avoid being blinded and deafened. Then there was a explosion and she opened her eyes to see Dan being thrown back across the room. He hit the far wall with a great crash, dislodging plaster and mortar. He fell with a sickening thud to the floor and lay there. Vi winced.
Slowly the boy began to attempt to climb to his feet spitting blood. His face was creased with pain and fear, he knew that he was beaten. A little unsteadily he climbed to his feet to face his tormenter. "That's it Danny Boy, face your death like a man." Hunter mocked, making his way towards the boy. Violet slowly climbed down to the arena, invisible. A few stones scattered below her but Hunter didn't notice. Dan threw another attack at hunter, trying to throw the man back but again it failed, the ball just sucking in the energy.
"This is the i-Xterminate 90, Danny boy. The most powerful weapon in the world. You know what it's powered by Danny boy? Do you? It's powered by souls, all those that it's ever killed, so it'll be powered by you."
"I have to admit I'm disappointed by you Danny Boy, I have to admit it. I thought you where the one with the most potential. I thought that you might join me, your like me you know. You enjoy the same things as me, fear, killing." Dan was shaking his head, ingoring Hunters words, preparing for a finial attack.
"I'm not like you."
"Sure you are. Admit it Danny Boy, you enjoyed killing those guards didn't you, you enjoyed there fear. Even your Super name, Hex, shows that. You want people to fear you, and I can help you do that. I'm going to make you a finial offer, give up and join me. You can me my assistant. My second in command, my son. Think about it Danny Boy, we could rule the world, we could keep the shareholders happy, we could make Insurcare the richest in the world. The greatest in the world. We could be kings." Hunter was getting carried away with his dream, he was sure that Dan would join him, sure that…
"No."
"What did you say Danny Boy?"
"No. And my names Hex. Not Danny Boy. Not Dan. Hex."
"Your funeral then, Hex, don't say I didn't give you a chance, the greatest opportunity of your life, a chance to indulge in the pleasures to the full. It's your choice." The i-Xterminate 90 began to glow red again, Violet could feel the power beginning again, the shrieking beginning. She edged closer to Dan, positioning herself between there. Preparing herself…
The room exploded again and once more Violet closed her eyes, but this time she threw up the strongest forcefeild she could, one she had been preparing throughout Hunter monologue. She went back to being visable and smiled at Hunters cry of shock and then….
And then it hit her like a tidal wave, trying to seep her along, the things terrible force buffeting her shield, she was screaming with the effort of producing a forcefeild that powerful, at stopping that powerful a thing. Behind her Dan screamed too because he though the end was coming.
Slowly Violet was forced back, her feet leaving marks in the floor, pushed towards Dan. Her face was creased with pain, she could hold out much longer….She hit the boy behind her and Dan instinctively pushed back, realising something strange was happening. He opened his eyes for the briefest second, saw Violet then closed them and added his power to the force field. Every second felt like an age and then…
And then it was over, finished, all that was left was Hunters cry of outrage and the buzzing in there ears. They where both sweating heavily and knew that they could not face another attack like that. Violet was feeling light headed, faint from her exertions. She fainted. Dan was again stood alone. "So." Hunter sneered, "You brought a friend. Is that all you have? You know you can't survive another attack you know that. Next time no one will save you."
"Think again Hunter." A voice sounded from the top of the slight ridge overlooking the arena, Hex and Hunter both looked up to see the rest of the Incredibles standing there, Dash smiled at him. "The Dashmasters going to whup your ass Hunter."
Hunter knew that he was beaten. He turned and ran towards a hidden door in the side of the room, a door that lead to the jet. Dash gave chase, catching the man only to be rewarded with a punch on the jaw that knocked him down, by the time he was on his feet the villain was gone.
Hunters banished, but for how long? Who knows, certainly I don't. I've decided to create a Dan/Vi relationship, but I'm still unsure about a Dash one, I'll put it to readers vote, so far it's 1 Yes and 1 no.
