We're back folks!
I'm so sorry that this took so long to get posted, like i said. It's hard to compete certain things when your the only one writing. But i digress.
And if you read the last chapter and read the title of this chapter. I hope you all realize that….
"Shit just got real!" Maverick exclaimed excitedly.
Indeed!
Kingdomwarrior125: So true! But if you thought the last chapter got personal, wait until you read this one
Drakon45: Don't worry, it won't take that long. I can't spoil what happens in the chapter after this, but you'll have to read this one to understand the next one.
So now that we're all here.
LET'S GET DANGEROUS!
The Maverick Vs The Incredibles.
Over in Metroville…..
As Taskmaster's ship passed through the sky and down over the city of Metroville. His ship went into Stealth Mode. But his Camouflage function was compromised when his ship detected a bug underneath. The security cam revealed that 'bug' to be J'son who was hooked on to the ship. Taskmaster chuckled.
" You don't have a bus past, I'll have to ask you to leave." Taskmaster pushes a button.
Then the ship's electric defences turned on, shocking J'son.
"Ugh!" J'son's tether hook short circuited and snapped off the ship.
Causing J'son to fall from Taskmaster's ship as the evil mercenary got away. J'son was trying to use his jet boots to fly, but the circuits on them were damaged from the shock. They only kept lasting for seconds as he kept falling and stopping from the jet boots boosting on and off.
"Nonononono! Too fast! Too fast! TOO FAST!" J'son at the last second crash into a pile of wooden planks on a high roof top. He moaned "Ugh…. My face, and everything below it, hurts."
Then J'son went out at that second.
Several Hours later in Corona….
As morning broke in Corona. Anna was pacing back and forth in her room, waiting for any news about her sister's abduction. Kristoff was there sitting on the bed, while little Adina slept peacefully next to her daddy. Their little princess had a nightmare that Aiden was killed in a fight with a monster with wings. So Anna brought her three year old daughter in the bedroom to sleep with them.
Kristoff kept stroking Adina's hair while she slept on his pillow. And Watching his wife wait for someone to enter. Before he could ease her with soothing words that he figured would not work. Rapunzel, Eugene and Cassandra came in the room, closing the door without waking Adina.
"Any luck?" Anna asked.
" Um, we told your bright and shining nephew about Elsa's abduction. And let me tell you he did not take it well." Eugene cringed. " In fact his mouth crossed into a new level of fowl that have never been tempered by humans before."
"Eugene this is serious." Rapunzel scolded him lightly.
"I know honey, i'm just saying. I ears are still numb." Eugene said in defense.
"If only he numbed your mouth as well." Cassandra rolled her eyes.
"Aiden called me after he lash out and hung up." Rapunzel staid to Anna. " He apologized for his mouth and told me that he and his friends are on a new world and they found J'son. Out cold and wounded on a roof top."
Anna gasped. "Is he alright?" She asked.
"He's fine, he managed to heal him, but he hasn't woken up yet." Cassandra answered. "The kid knows Taskmaster and your sister is on that world. He said, in his own words. That he's close to finding them both."
"Okay." Anna breathed, it sure did help to know this, but it wasn't a total relieve. "I know Aiden wouldn't let anything happen to Elsa. But i'm worried about him just as much. He's my nephew and i don't want anything to happen to him."
"I can't imagine what he's going through. Aiden's a tough kid. But everyone has their breaking point. If I could, I would be there to switch places with him." Kristoff said just worried as Anna was.
"You may not have to. There is something else." Cassandra said to him.
"What?" Anna inquired.
Rapunzel took Anna's hand. "It turns out, your we're right, about J'son….. Aiden proved it." She said.
Anna's eyes widened in shock. "You mean?"
Rapunzel nodded. "J'son is Aiden's father." She revealed.
Anna's eyes widened at the confirmed revelation.
Well the cat's out of the bag now.
Back in Metroville….
"Jase?"
J'son moaned as he could hear Victoria's voice.
"Hey Aiden! He's waking up!"
Then he could hear what sounded like Elsa's boy
"Here, give him this. I need to go back to scanning. You know this world invented electric vehicles, Holograms and remote tablets, but they have no goddamn wifi out here? Guess Macintosh fulfilled it's prophecy on this earth."
Yep. That's Aiden alright.
J'son's eyes shot opened as he groaned a little while sitting up. He was still on the rooftop, but sitting against the wall of an entry. Victoria came over to him with a bottle of water and some ibuprofen.
"Jase." Victoria breathed in relief as she hugged him tightly.
"How are you Tori?" J'son smiled and hugged back.
"Tired, agitated and really anxious for all of this to be over. You know, the usual." Victoria shrugged.
He chuckled. "Alright, well. I'm here now. And i'm having a beer withdraw thanks to my date." he winked.
"A date?" Victoria blinked. "Wait, what date?"
J'son stood up and looked too see Aiden stand on the edge of the Rooftop, the minotaur Zambron standing behind him, along with Groot and Darkwing Duck. They all stare at J'son as Aiden approaches him, with a look people usually give to their favorite quarterback after meeting him in person. Or God.
"I gotta say. I thought you would be taller. And i thought your credit card would at least have enough cash for flowers and a (item). I checked, there's nothing on it." Aiden stated. As J'son reached for his pocket, then Aiden got closer. "But I am really glad, to finally meet you."
"Okay?" J'son raised an eyebrow at Aiden's eyes.
Aiden knew this wasn't the right time for a big reveal and needed to cover his emotional tracks at the moment. But he felt something in his heart that couldn't be contained, knowing that he was looking at his father face to face for the first time.
"Sorry, it is hard to be the only man on the ship, that isn't a Looney Tunes character or a furry. That and i'm fighting the fear of what Taxes Master might be doing to the Queen of M.O.M. That's an acronym stand for 'made of money'. Who's going to buy me a PS4 if she's dead?" Aiden said without breaking his heavy eye contact and his passionate voice.
"Listen i'm not to let anything happen to your mo- Did anyone feel a strong wind? Because I just felt something bumped me, like fast." J'son did feel something bump him, but it wasn't the wind.
Aiden went into super speed mode and hugged his dad for the first time, In a few short milliseconds. But for Aiden, it felt like a few long lasting minutes. the kind of time that he needed to get the shock and feels out of his chest so he could focus better.
"Actually that was me." Zambron raised his hand. "The microwaved beef burritos are a menace to my digestive systems."
Groot sniffed. "Ugh! I am Groot!" He pinched his nose.
"Please stand over there. My beak needs to live." Darkwing Duck held his breath from the stench.
"And that killed my brood." Aiden walked away.
That's code for 'I'm good now after the hug. Thank you Zambron for farting and helping me dodge a bullet'.
Just then Aiden's Gummiphone ringed. So he shifted into his custom made Maverick suit Aiden put together on the ship. An armored form that's in a red, blue and green color scheme. This time Maverick could use all the functions of both suits. Both flight and speed.
Aiden shifted quickly into his new suit because he can suspect who's on the other end. Once Maverick answered the phone, he was right. Taskmaster displayed on the phone screen.
"How's it going Maverick?" Taskmaster said on the other end.
"Where is she you son of a bitch?!" Both J'son and Maverick demanded at the same time.
Wait, has there been something going on between J'son and Elsa?
Victoria gave J'son a weird look. "How many secret plot lines are in this vacation?" She asked.
"Whatever happens to the queen depends on you Mav." Taskmaster warned. "You do has i say and she'll stay in one piece."
"Your not gonna tell me to cut off my finger and shoot a drug dealer are you?" Maverick inquired. "I couldn't sleep at night after playing Heavy Rain."
Maverick was really using humor to hide his fear of what might happen to Elsa.
"Sounds stupid. Let's just say I've been busy, my connection to the darkness and this town opened up multiple possibilities. I've sent you a list of locations across this super city." Taskmaster displayed a map of Metroville on Maverick's phone, with red dots on certain parts of the city. "Each location has a bomb, the bombs deactivation will activate a certain task for each of you. If you pass, You will be given a piece of our location. Fail any of these challenges, and there won't be anything left of your queen's corpse."
"You wouldn't." J'son hissed.
"Try me." Taskmaster dared before the screen went black.
Then a timer displayed, saying 5:00. Then the countdown began. Five bomb locations, One at city hall. One at the downtown mall. One at a theme park call Metroland. One at the metro park. And one at a DevTech building in midtown.
and five members of Maverick's team.
"***k me." Maverick whispered.
"We have to split up." J'son stood up and said to the team.
"Just what i was about to say. Zam, you take the team park. Darkwing, you have city hall. Groot go take a stroll down the park. I'll take that tall building in midtown." Maverick said to each of his team members.
"Guess that leaves us the mall." Victoria smiled up at J'son.
"I fixed your boots, and i even shined them with my spit." Maverick said quickly. "Not really."
"I'm not buying you jewelry." J'son deadpanned as he locked his Mister Knife mask on.
"Aw you're no fun." Victoria shifted into her Blaze form.
"Alright, let's roll out." Maverick took off toward his bomb locations while the other guardians left for theirs.
Down at the theme park…..
Zambron made to his location from doing high jumps, thanks to his boots from Olympus. Once he saw the theme park in view. He scanned the area for anything resembling a bomb.
"By Aslan's fur! How will i know what i'm looking for?!" Zambron snapped in frustration.
"One of the park rides will be malfunctioning from foreign tech! Use the device i planted on your left arm guard!" Maverick answered in Zambron's earpiece.
"What device?!" Zambron looked at his armguard, and found something blinking blue button on it. "Oh."
He presses the button as IRIS the computer displayed a GPS telling Zambron wear to go.
"Follow it, and don't worry about scaring any civilians! If anything, they'll think your a carny worker!" Maverick stated.
"Got it." Zambron nodded as he jumped down there.
Down at the park…..
A five year old blond girl was sitting in the grass, picking flowers while her parents were sitting at a nearby bench with a baby stroller. The little girl picked about five or six petunias when all of a sudden, she looked and saw a tree walking left in the distance ahead of her.
The little girl gasped in amazement. "Mommy! Mommy! A tree is walking!" She pointed.
"Uh huh, yeah sweetie. That's nice." Her mommy was ignoring her, politely of course.
The dad was reading a newspaper while the mom was fixing her makeup and rocking her baby to sleep with the stroller.
Down over there, Groot walking through the park, trying his best to avoid attention, while he was using his Dendrologic instincts to sense wear the bomb is. Sure enough he found the bomb, in a tree right next to an empty soccer playing field.
"I am Groot." Groot ran over there, and pulled the tree from out of its roots He found the bomb inside the tree, so Groot tore it in half and pulled the bomb out. The bomb itself looked like any typical used merc tech. Especially one used by Taskmaster.
"I. Am Groot!" Groot didn't have time to guess which wire will deactivate the bomb, so he fell back to the golden rule. He smashed him with his foot. Which of course deactivate the bomb.
With the bomb taken care of, Groot received an interception in his earpiece.
"They say money doesn't grow on trees. But i guess success does. Are you game enough to prove it?" Taskmaster said on the other end.
"I am Groot?" Groot glared but turned to see a bunch of heartless surrounding the soccer field in the park.
"Your task is simple, take em all out and you win. If any civilians die or if you walk away. Your queen is history." Taskmaster ended there.
"I AM GROOT!" Groot charged at the heartless, willing to do anything to save Elsa.
He wiped his branch arms at them, taking them out with ease, but they kept coming. How long would this go on. For the sake of Aiden's mother. As long as it goes.
Down at the mall…..
As Blaze flew with J'son over to the mall. She couldn't help but still wonder why is J'son caring for Elsa as much as Aiden. But is it in a romantic way?
"Is there something going on between you and Aiden's mother?" Blaze asked him.
"Short version. Yes, we've been hitting it off while you and your friends were in Zootopia. Long version. Wait until we're done here." J'son responded as they landed on the roof of the mall.
"Alright, IRIS? Locate the bomb." Blaze scanned the area.
'Scanning. The bomb is located in the parking lot outside.' IRIS stated while displaying where it is.
It makes sense, there's no way someone as subtle as Taskmaster would be able to plant a bomb inside of a fully crowded mall without being noticed.
"The bomb's this way, come on." Blaze flew over toward the parking lot.
J'son followed and they found the location under an empty storage truck. Blaze used her suit
strength to lift the truck away. While J'son used his tech skills to scan and cut the right wire, deactivating the bomb.
With their bomb dealt with, Taskmaster intercepted both of their comms.
" Your both becoming easy money. But will deal with that later. Right now your task is simple. Take down all enemies, Make sure no one get's hurt and don't leave. One button press is all that will take to end the life of your queen." Taskmaster stated.
Just then multiple heartless started to spawn around the parking lot. Each we're focused on taking Blaze and J'son down.
"Dammit." J'son sighed as he got his guns ready.
"Sorry Jase, I can't run and hide this time." Blaze brought her katannas out.
"Of course not, your too grown for that now. Your ready?" J'son stood next to her, while joking about her armored form.
"Always." She grinned.
Then they both charged at the heartless.
Down at city hall…
Darkwing Duck swung over to the roof dome of city hall. His duck mask helped him locate the bomb. He found it easily out in the open, taped above the mayor's office. So he went over to figure out how to deactivate it.
"Hmm. I guess i will be professional about this." Darkwing thought quick and hard. "Since my grandfather was in the bomb squad, i will use his method. Simply by studies layout and wiring."
He acted calm and professional at first. Then Darkwing pulled out a sledgehammer. "AND THEN HIT IT WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER! HIYAA!
Darkwing smashed the bomb with the hammer, deactivating it. He leaned on the hammer admiring his act of heroism.
"I'll have to take Gramps for those tips. This almost felt too easy." Darkwing remarked.
"Don't count on it." Taskmaster said in his earpiece.
"HAH!" Darkwing jumped and shrieked like a girl. "Oh, it's only the merc."
"The mayor is being assaulted right now by some of my pawns. If he dies, so does the queen." Taskmaster informed him.
"Sheesh your a little too dark for me and that's saying a lot. Are you sure your not a DC villain?" Darkwing inquired.
"STAY BACK! DON'T MAKE ME USE THIS! SECURITY!" The mayor screamed.
Taskmaster didn't answer as Darkwing heard the mayor inside screaming.
So Darkwing Duck used his grappling hook to swing right in and crashed through the window, in a puff of smoke. He found the mayor standing on top of his desk, swinging his chair to keep the heartless away. But Darkwing got their attention as he announced himself.
"I am the terror that flaps in the night!" Darkwing announced.
"Huh?!" The Mayor inquired.
"I am the blown fuse that blacks you out! I AM DARKWING DUCK!" The smoke clears as darkwing held his cape up.
The heartless charged at him as Darkwing used his trained skills and electric bow staff to take them all out.
The mayor of Metroville was blown away, not just from seeing the heroics. But also seeing a talking duck in a mask.
And finally at the DevTech building….
Maverick flew as fast as he could toward his target bomb. While communicating to IRIS on how he can find Elsa a lot faster. The problem is for a fast thinking mercenary, Taskmaster thinks of everything.
" Come on IRIS! If the FBI and Android phones can trace people's calls! You mean to tell me you can't trace Taskmaster's comms back to its source?!"
'Taskmaster is blocking is signal with a heavy amount of darkness. It could take weeks before i can get a fix on his location.' IRIS stated.
"Time that we or Mom doesn't have." Maverick understood.
' I am sorry for my limitation.' IRIS stated.
"Don't be, this is on me. And unlike Time Magazine and Sony. I'm going to take responsibility for my mistakes." Maverick said as he came up on the DevTech building.
Maverick landed and scanned for the bomb. Giant glass building with many possible places to hide a bomb. Which happens to be in Winston Deavor's office. Inside of a safe behind a painting of Mr Incredible. Back when the guy use to wear his original blue suit.
Maverick teleported inside, seeing that no one was in the building for some reason. He went for the painting, but stopped for a second to observe the image.
"It seems my blue fetish is creating a virus." Maverick said before going for the safe.
He removed the painting and saw a metal safe with a key lock combinations. Maverick ripped the metal safe open with one hand, but what he found wasn't the bomb.
"What in the monkey's ass?" Maverick said in shock.
It was just a bunch of blueprints and documents. But no bomb, there was however a tracker that was placed by Taskmaster. How he got in the safe was no mystery, why he didn't steal anything is definitely one of its own. Although maybe there were some cash in that safe.
"Where the hell is the bomb?" Maverick asked.
"The bomb is not your challenge." Taskmaster spoke through his comms.
"Then what is you glorified button man?" Maverick spat.
"Turn around and see for yourself." Taskmaster answered.
"Step away from that safe, if you know what's good for you!" He heard someone from behind.
Maverick slowly turned to see Mr Incredible standing there like a cop ready to bring a criminal in. And he's not a happy one at the moment. Plus his red suit brought out the first thing that popped into Maverick's head.
"I take it back, blue looks way better on you Doc Savage." Maverick held is hands up.
"Who are you?" Mr Incredible demanded.
"James Garner, before Mel Gibson and Richard Donner mutated me. And you are?" Maverick inquired.
"Mr Incredible. And your coming with me." He tried to grab Maverick, but he teleported back up to the roof. Which surprised Mr Incredible.
"Helen. Bring the kids, I found the alien." Mr Incredible said on his earpiece. "Only leave Jack Jack with Edna! Trust me, we can handle this punk ourselves!
Are you sure about that Mr Incredible?
On the roof of the DevTech Building…..
"Where do you think your going?" Taskmaster inquired amusingly.
"What does it look like asshole?!" Maverick yelled as he teleported to the roof. " I don't want to fight Superboy! And how are you seeing-"
"I have my ways. So here's your Task. You fight Mr Incredible." Taskmaster started.
Taskmaster had small hidden cameras everywhere. Alien tech can make you do anything. But now Maverick is being forced to face off against a superhero. Something he never wanted to do, except in video games.
"No." Maverick refused.
"And anyone else who's with him, and win the fight." Taskmaster added.
The other Guardian members were given a bomb and a hoard of heartless to fight. But it seems Taskmaster wanted a special challenge for Maverick, and the armored keyblade wielder wasn't liking it. Not one bit.
"I may be a lot of things, including the universe's best Joker! But a murderer is not one of them!" Maverick snapped.
"Spare them. Kill them. It doesn't matter. All you have to do, is win the fight. If you run or call for help. If you tell them what's going on or try to charm your way out of the fight. I will skin your queen alive and make you watch." Taskmaster warned sinisterly.
Now Elsa's life is on this. And that made Maverick very angry.
"If you lay one finger on her! I'll-" Maverick growled.
"Don't force my hand then!" Taskmaster said back. "So what's it going to be?"
Maverick really didn't want this, but what other choice did he have? The life of his adopted mother, depends on this fight. If Taskmaster will really spare Elsa's life after winning this fight. And he needed to cooperate. Guess getting personal can do a lot of damage.
"Alright. If you spare her life. I'll do it." Maverick said in defeat.
"I make no promises, whatever happens to her. It's all up to you. Win. The. Fight." Taskmaster ended on that note, leaving Maverick to finish his Task.
"Could be worst Aid." Maverick sighed to himself. "At least your not being told to drive a bus at 50 mph, through a minefield and giant scissors. Who am i kidding? That would be so much better than this."
Just then Maverick turned to see Mr Incredible bursting through the rooftop entrance. Then he sees Elastigirl stretching and swinging her way to the other end of the rooftop. Then something small and fast tripped Maverick to the ground. Maverick groaned and raised his head to see Dash slow down in front of him. With a smirk on his face.
"You didn't see that coming?" Dash mocked before speeding up.
Then Violet appears visible right behind Maverick, as he stood up to see the whole team surround him on the rooftop of DevTech. If only Maverick had his team with him, but he wasn't allowed to call for help. If he was going to save Elsa. the Maverick has to fight the Incredibles.
"There's nowhere to run! I only do the running...uh, what does the M stand for?" Dash tilted his head.
"Maverick. Obviously Maverick, i just explained it to your Uncle Tick earlier." Maverick gestured Mr Incredible while calling him the Tick.
"What were you doing in Winston Deavor's safe?" Elastigirl demanded.
"Well i thought someone left a package for me, sorry i gotta ask. Does the 'I' stand for Eye Candy?" Maverick quipped at Elastigirl which made her glare harder. "But since there wasn't-"
"If you don't fight them right now. Say goodbye to Mommy." Taskmaster said on the other end.
Maverick felt his breathing stop for a second. This took him the wrong way in every way possible.
'He knew?' Maverick thought to himself.
"Uh... Are you having a Vietnam flashback or something?" Violet gave Maverick a weird look. "You kinda look like you're spacing out there."
Maverick took a deep breath and looked at everyone.
"I'm, really sorry about this." Maverick summoned both keyblades and slammed them down.
creating a shockwave that knocked everyone off the roof, except for Mr Incredible who held onto the ground.
Then Maverick and Mr Incredible ran for each other and clashed.
( Michael Giacchino - The Incredibles Intro Theme)
Maverick caught Mr Incredible's fist and threw him over his back. Then Maverick tried to hit Mr Incredible with his Keyblade, but he rolled out the way and stood up to block all of Maverick's keyblade attacks. Until Mr Incredible grabbed his keyblades and head butted him. But Maverick head butted Mr Incredible back, which knocked him a few feet away.
Then Elastigirl came in and threw a punch at Maverick, which he dodged and grabbed her long forearm.
But Elastigirl wrapped her hand and fingers around his head and pulled him close for a swift knee to the stomach, making him double over. Then she tried to pull his helmet off.
"Ugh! What kind of mask is this?!" Elastigirl grunted.
"It's not a mask Woke Richards, it's a profile! AKA! MY FACE!" Maverick pulled her hand off and flung it around her own face.
Then Maverick was met with a knock to the face by Mr Incredible.
"Get your hands off of her!" He grabbed Maverick by the throat, picking him up.
"What are you talking about? Her hands were all over me." Maverick wheezed a quip while being choked. "But I don't think she was doing it right."
That innuendo made Mr Incredible mad as he slammed him down to the ground, but then Maverick teleported out of his grip and roundhouse kicked him aside.
Even for a strong super strong guy Mr Incredible has never felt a punch or kick as strong as Maverick's
Elastigirl came in and wrapped herself around Maverick bounding him in her rubber form. But then Maverick uses his loose hand to summoned a thunder spell with his keyblade shocking her.
"Ugh!" Elastigirl yelled in pain as she fell limp. Then he threw her into Mr Incredible, wrapping her around him before he could get back up. Knocking the super couple into each other.
"I knew you both liked it rough but come on, their kids up here." Maverick quipped at them while they were down.
At that moment. Violet, who survived and recovered from being blown off the roof, came from behind Maverick while she was invisible and quickly trapped him in a force bubble.
"Speaking of which, oh shit." Maverick deadpanned.
Every super family has to have an invisible one.
Violet uses her telekinetic force field powers lifted him into the air and then she moves her arms sending several waves force field attacks left and right at Maverick in the air. While being attacked, he noted that somehow her force fields felt stronger than Mr Incredible's punch.
Then Violet formed a force disc around Maverick and slammed him through the ceiling. crashing him in the lounge lobby of the Penthouse.
" Shake it off Mav." Maverick moaned to himself. "God i hope they don't have a dog with a cape."
But despite the pain, Maverick quickly recovered and stood back up, only for Mr Incredible, Elastigirl and Violet to land right in front of him.
"Had enough?" Mr Incredible taunted him.
Maverick stood while spinning his Keyblades in a fighting stance.
"Vive la Comic Con." Maverick taunted before blasting a wave of neon at them.
Violet blocked it with a force field while protecting her parents. Then they all charge at Maverick. But Elastigirl couldn't knock him down as Maverick hardened his body with neon energy, as he caught her fist. Then Mr Incredible tried to smash him with both fists coming down at him. But Maverick blocked him with his own forearm covered in ice. Then Violet tried push him with an up close force field, but his neon magic was strong enough to hold against her powers.
With three of the Incredibles pushing against Maverick. Dash came in the super speed of light, as he saw his opportunity to strike at Maverick.
Dash ran around the room as everything slowed down for him to look for an opening. But as ran got closer and closer to Maverick. Something scary happened. Maverick's eyes looked directory at Dash. As if he was keeping up with him.
Dash looked both shocked and horrified. His jaw dropped further as Maverick's eyes kept following him in super speed. The armored keyblade wielder even turned his head to where Dash was running. Soon Maverick caught up with Dash in super speed as he swiped his keyblades at the other Incredibles, knocking them into the air as they froze in time.
Then Maverick threw his keyblade near Dash's feet, causing him to trip backwards and panic as the keyblade stuck to the floor in front of him. Dash tried to run away but Maverick flew over to him and grabbed him by his underwear. Making Dash struggle and wrestle in anger.
"Hey no fair! I'm gonna sue you for coping my shtick! And-" Dash was immediately gagged by ice forming on his mouth.
Then Maverick threw dash over at the others Incredibles. And a split second, Maverick used a stopga spell. And used his ice powers to freeze them all in place. Keeping the stopga spell from wearing off.
Finally, the Incredibles were subdued. And Maverick won the fight.
Finally Maverick went back into normal speed. Taking a breather as he saw the heroes he beat in battle. He didn't know whether to feel proud or ashamed. Proud of the fact that he took one four really powerful supers and survived. Or feel ashamed that he beat the crap out of people that didn't deserve it. These are heroes to give their lives to the innocent every chance they get, and they don't even have a magic healing factor.
Maverick just felt torn about this.
"This was so wrong on so many levels. I might as well change my name to John Wilks Booth." Maverick muttered to himself.
"Impressive." Taskmaster stated in his comms "Personally i would've killed them. But hey, why not save it for the merc who kidnapped your mom. Trying to collect your head?"
Maverick shifted back into Aiden and spoke on his comms.
"You know?" Aiden spat. " You know who i was?"
"Not until recently, boy. You decided to peak under my mask, so I peeked under yours. I copy everything i see, remember?" Taskmaster grinned.
"Maverick. I am detecting a virus on your gummiphone." IRIS interrupted.
Aiden looked down at his phone and saw Taskmaster's symbol on the screen.
"I hacked all the info on that phone of yours. I know everything about you. The fact that your a boy from a broken planet, a cancer survivor and the son of a dead desk lady." Taskmaster teased.
"***k you." Aiden glared down at the floor.
" I also know everyone that is important to you. The chocolate loving, Princess Anna your Aunt. Uncle Kristoff her husband. Their pet reindeer and their little doll that you saved by donating a spare lung and pancreas. And you miraculously grew yours back. Adina was it?" Taskmaster went on.
Hearing him mention Adina, Aiden's little cousin. That made the boy so angry, that the fumes in his blood converted to gunpowder.
Even the walls around the building began to frost around him.
"I'm just about tempted to donate your balls to Tom Green's mailbox." Aiden spat.
"Arendelle AKA Your savaged middle aged kingdom you call home. The talking snowman, what is he the mascot? And of course ..." Taskmaster chuckled finally saying "Elsa Agnerdotter. AKA The Snow Queen of Arendelle."
That did it.
"WHERE IS SHE?" Aiden screamed as his eyes glowed blue and green.
"I'm looking at her right now. She saw the whole fight. Everything you are doing to try and get her back." Taskmaster revealed.
"You sadistic **K!." Aiden Bellowed
"She can even hear that pretty mouth of yours, i bet she and your fire star girlfriend would just hate to kiss it." Taskmaster mocked.
Victoria.
"Leave her out of this." Aiden warned.
He really does love her.
"This whole monkey quest started because of her. You and your winter goddess of a mother would be safe at home right now, if that girl never had shown up on your turf." Taskmaster stated
Back at Taskmaster's hideout…..
"Which is why I'm to make you an offer." Taskmaster said, as he looked back at Elsa.
She was trapped in a glass cell that blocks all of her magic. She was glaring back at Taskmaster, as she could hear everything he was saying.
"Let me have Mister Knife and the girl. Be a good boy, and walk away from the Shi'ar war and all of this. Vow that you'll never interfere with my business again. And i'll completely forgive and forget everything that's happened and let you and your mother go back home peacefully." Taskmaster spoke honestly.
Then he turned back to the screen.
"Or. If your so stubborn, and your ready to end it here and now. There's an address I'm sending you. Go there. Prepare to take off your 'mask' for everyone to see." Taskmaster spoke seriously.
Elsa gasped. Aiden would have to either turn Victoria and Jason over to Taskmaster. Or expose his identity to his whole world. In order to save his mother. The queen cursed herself for being powerless right now and that her son is going through all of this.
It's going to take a miracle to get them out of this one. Elsa could only pray for one to happen.
Back over at Aiden…
"I've sent the address. Either them or you. So what is it going to be, Maverick?" Taskmaster ended the call.
Aiden looked out the window and leaned his forehead on the glass as his closed his eyes. And took a deep breath. He couldn't believe that it's come to this, but here he is now.
With Taskmaster tracking his every movement. And his dark magic matches all of Aiden's magic. Including his top super speed, Aiden couldn't think of a clever way out of this. A spell, a call for help, leaving this world or going anywhere else but the mysterious address. Anything that doesn't cooperate with Taskmaster game will be a death sentence to Elsa.
Aiden couldn't bare to suffer the pain of losing another mother. Not again.
Just then, Aiden could hear the cops and swat coming from the stairs and elevator. There shouts of arrest were echoing through the air.
So Aiden opened his eyes, and with a determined look he shifted back into Maverick. And then he burst out the window, breaking the glass as he took off into the sky.
Flying toward the address marked on his map. He had to make a decision. Either turn in his father and the girl he fell in love with, and everything would go back to normal for him and his family. Or turn himself in and save everyone.
But what decision will he make?
"If there was a time when life started sucking, this counts." Maverick muttered to himself as he flew away from DevTech.
Leaving the Incredibles, frozen in the building as he flew away to make his choice.
But what?
At the edge of the city…..
A few minutes ago, Maverick received a message from his teammates that they succeeded in stopping all of the bombs and finishing Taskmaster's challenges. Groot took down all of the heartless in Central Park. Darkwing Duck saved the mayor. J'son and Victoria defeated the heartless at the mall and Zambron saved a theme park from blowing up.
Best of all, no one was killed or injured during any of the fights.
All that's left is for the Maverick to turn himself in. Without telling his friends where he is or what he was doing. There was no way he was going to turn anyone in. Victoria and he has come a long way since they met and Aiden is not going to betray her. And he doesn't want to lose another parent. That goes for J'son.
So Aiden made his decision.
In his Maverick form, he flew over to the address, which lead to an abandoned storage depot at the edge of Metroville. Maverick came inside the place. It was empty and dusty, filled with trash and cobwebs. He went down a hallway which led to a room with TV screens on the wall. Forming one big picture of Taskmaster live streaming from his hideout.
Maverick looked up at the screens as Taskmaster started talking.
"So your taking the fall instead. Why am i not surprised? This was never my plan, I did this all for a check. Someone hired me to take you down and collect the girl. But you made it personal. And that is something I can't let you slide from." Taskmaster showed Elsa on the screen.
Maverick was relieved that she didn't have any signs of harm on her. But her looks of distress made him more determined to get her out of there.
"You're probably wondering how I was able to put this all together. Well, money buys everything. And apparently, fear does to. And this woman, is your biggest weakness. And ironically she's not even your real mother." Taskmaster went on. "But don't think i don't understand. Mercedes, my wife. She was everything to me. My mother figure, my best friend and the light of my life. She was my biggest weakness."
He said that with grief in his voice.
"My face became a disgrace, as i gave my everything to the Nova Corp. And yet they abandoned me, no one stood by me, as I lost everything. All in the name of love." Taskmaster came back on the screen looking down at Maverick. "And now. Your going to know that pain, from my perspective. But first things first, leave your equipment on that table in front of you."
Maverick came up slowly, and left his gummi phone. His devices and his keyblades.
"Now. The truck." Taskmaster gestured at the doors at the right, to the back of a truck.
Maverick sighed and went over. And sat at the back of the truck. The doors automatically closed as who ever was driving the vehicle was taking him to Taskmaster's hideout. Maverick had no idea how long this was going to take. So he just sat there in darkness. Waiting for the inevitable to happen.
An hour later in an unknown area….
Out. Deep into the forest, was an old lab base that use to belong to Syndrome, before his death. Those who sue to worked for him, went into hiding after his defeat. Until Taskmaster bought them all, thanks to his secret access to American currency. Technology can do so many wonders. Almost like magic.
Taskmaster was outside, as Syndrome's mercenaries (Now Taskmaster's troops) forced Maverick onto a gurney and strapped his arms and legs in the metal restraints. Then they wheeled him down to the containment cell where Elsa was being kept. Taskmaster followed as they went up to the door to her cell.
"Double the watch. Make sure we weren't followed." Taskmaster order two of his troops.
"You got it sure." They nodded and left.
Maverick would usually make a quip at moments like this. But for some reason he was quiet. Probably the fear for his mother's life is getting to him.
Taskmaster wheeled him in to the cell. Where Elsa was on the ground. Still cuffed as she stood up and gasp.
"Aiden!" Elsa cried and tried to run to him.
But Taskmaster stopped her with a gun pointed at her.
"I'm sorry Mom." Maverick looked at her sadly.
"I'd smile if i wear you." Taskmaster pointed at the camera's on every corner. "Your about to go live at your world. In 3 ...2...1."
At that moment, down in Corona. So many people watched as a dark sphere that looked like a giant crystal ball appeared. And hovered over the city as it displayed a live image of Maverick's unmasking. For so many to watch.
If Corona sees it. The whole world will.
Anna and Kristoff were looking up from the city with Rapunzel and everyone else. And they all looked horrified seeing this happen.
"Oh no…" Anna whispered in tears for her nephew, she could even see her sister there on the screen as well.
Back with Taskmaster...
"This isn't going to end how you think, Anthony." Maverick glared while restraint to the gurney.
Taskmaster didn't like his first name being called out loud, as he threw a punch at Maverick in the face.
"STOP IT!" Elsa screamed.
"Enough! And quit with the bravado. It's too late for that. I didn't care to know who you are." Taskmaster leaned in to his face, and pointed at the camera. "But they will. I'm going to rob your world of what my world took from me. Hope. They see your metal face and think of you as someone to keep them safe, and your other face as someone to love. But would they feel the same way if both faces are known as the same? Let's find out."
Then Taskmaster looks at Elsa. "Your Majesty. I would like you to do the honors." He said.
Because Aiden had her ice DNA in him. Elsa was the only other person besides Aiden to activate and deactivate his magic ring. Taskmaster knew this, and he wanted Elsa to expose Aiden.
"No! We're done playing your games!" Elsa glared at him.
Taskmaster pointed his gun at Maverick. "You should know that this room doesn't just shut down your powers. But also his. He won't heal from a bullet to the head, so either you get him out of that suit! Or he'll drop out of that suit as a corpse.
Elsa looked shocked and scared. What kind of a monster would do this? Even to a child?
"Hey Queen, looking at me. It's okay." Maverick nodded.
"IT'S NOT OKAY! You know what this means." Elsa said in tears.
"It won't end after this." Maverick said calmly.
Elsa slowly walked up to Maverick and touched his metal cheek.
"When they find out who you are. It's over. You know that." Elsa choked.
"I know. But i need you to trust me. You always do." Maverick stated seriously.
Elsa looked down as the tears fell.
"Do it." Taskmaster ordered with the gun still pointed at Maverick.
With no other choice. Elsa took one deep breath, remembering what her uncle Frederic said to her.
She wasn't prepared for this. But whatever happens, she will always stand by her son. Whatever it takes.
So Elsa slowly moved her hand up to Maverick's finger and reluctantly deactivated the ring's magic, shifting him back to normal.
Once the Maverick changed. Elsa widened her eyes in shock at what she was looking at.
What happens next?
That's all for now folks!
"Hey Sorarules?! Or is it CLASS? Never mind! I think i see an angry mob outside!" Maverick exclaimed from up stairs.
Oh crap. I'm in for it now, i just know it. I better say what i have to say quickly and head for the hills!
So yeah, Maverick surrendered to Taskmaster in order to save Elsa. Just like Batman did at the end of Arkham Knight. But will this end the same way?
Will Aiden be exposed to everyone?
Will The Incredibles bounce back after that epic fight?
Find out in the next chapter!
Also let me know what you thought of the fight, if you want me to add more to it or not. I was inspired by the fight between Superman and Flash in the Justice League movie, when Maverick looked at Dash and sped up with him during the fight.
I'll edit and fix any mistakes that were made in this chapter. And i may need a co-writer's help in writing the next chapter. But i will get the next one out as soon as possible.
PM: me or Send any ideas you may have in the comment section and let me know what you thought of this one.
And as always Disney/Square Enix fans!
FISTBUMP!
