Chapter 24-Mirage's Strange Attitude.
Dash and Mirage had just finished a battle with the Underminer and had won.
"All right, we did it!" Dash said as he hugged Aunt Incredible.
"We sure did, sweetie!" Mirage said.
Later, back at Mirage's house, Dash was dancing around in excitement. Mirage walked up smiling.
"So, Aunt Mirage, remember your promise?" Dash asked kindly.
"I sure do!" Mirage said before she suddenly jolted and gasped. She then closed her eyes and grabbed her head with her hand while she gritted her teeth before she opened her eyes again and looked at Dash, who looked back at her and noticed her eyes were suddenly glowing a lighter green. Then, she looked at Dash with an annoyed face.
"But you were reckless in that fight. Do you really think you deserve a Nintendo Switch after what you pulled?" she asked, her tone suddenly almost aggressive.
Dash was shocked. She had gotten after him already for it, but had still agreed to buy him the Nintendo Switch after the fight was over.
"Aunt Mirage, you said you would still do it. I already said I'm sorry." Dash said.
"Well, maybe I'd agree to that if I didn't have to spoil you just so you won't throw a tantrum when you don't get what you want!" Mirage said.
"Hey, I don't throw tantrums!" Dash said, offended.
"Maybe not, but I still think I'd be better off with a nephew who didn't act like such a spoiled little brat!" Mirage said.
Dash looked like he was about to cry before he looked at the ground in anger, "I hate you, Aunt Mirage." he said.
At that point, though, he failed to notice the green light fade from her eyes and heard her gasp loudly in a hurt tone. He looked at her and saw tears building in her eyes before she turned away from him and said, "Go home, Dash. I can't believe you said that." before she ran crying into her house. Dash stared angrily after her before he teared up himself and ran home himself.
The next day, Dash felt bad about his behavior, but still felt it was strange. Mirage's attitude just changed all of a sudden. He figured there had to be an explanation, especially with the way her eyes glowed green, but decided to just start out with an apology.
He walked up to Mirage's front door later that day, "I sure hope Aunt Mirage forgives me." he said.
Little did he know, he was being watched by three people from the bushes.
"He's back. Should we pull the trick again?" a girl asked.
"Yes." said a boy before he snapped his fingers.
Just as Dash was about to knock on the door, Aunt Incredible, with the glow back in her eyes, burst out of it and grabbed him by the throat.
"Aunt Mirage?! Why?!" Dash choked out.
Mirage smirked sinisterly, "Because I have a little brat for a nephew." she said in a scary tone before she threw him away. Once he landed, she rushed and gave him a strong punch to the gut, making him cough up spit.
Mirage then smirked before she blasted him back into a rock and readied her laser eyes before she shot, only for Violet to suddenly appear and put a force field around him.
"AUNT MIRAGE, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Violet shouted before Mirage started to attack her too, eventually causing a free-for-all when the rest of the Incredibles showed up. Aunt Incredible ended up overpowering all of them before she floated up into the air and stayed there for a few minutes before she looked at them with an evil smirk and said, "You will regret trying to fight against him." before she flew off into the city and started causing havoc. Everyone else looked after her with a troubled expression, especially Dash.
"Aunt Mirage…" he said.
