A Series of Incredible Events
Helen drives franticly to the city. She can hear Jack-Jack crying like crazy. She tries to find the police cars she saw earlier, while at the same time, calming her baby boy down. She speeds down the highway. She looks left and right looking for police cars, a black van or a glimpse of her speeding son, Dash. She is lucky enough to see a couple of police cars passing by her. She steps on the gas and follows the police cars. As she pursues the police cars, she becomes more nervous. This is Helen's first time watching her children fight crime on their own, without her supervision. She when she comes to a bank, she hits the brakes. The black van and the patrol cars she saw earlier were there. Police officers exit the cars, and pull out their pistols. They hide behind their vehicles. The officers point their weapons at the black van. For minutes, the entire city is filled with silence. Suddenly, the door to the black van swings open. Five teenage boys step out of the vehicle. The boys take out their handguns and point it at the police officers.
"Drop the guns and get down on the ground now!" One of the officers ordered. The teenagers look at each other and grins.
"Why don't you try and make us?" The boys answer. Then without warning, the teenagers pull the triggers of their weapons and bullets shot out of their guns. The bullets ricochet off the patrol cars, causing the officers to hide behind their vehicles. The teenage boys continue to laugh as they relentlessly shoot across the street. Helen watches with terror as bullets flies across the street. When the bullets hit the sides of Helen's car, she immediately froze. Jack-Jack continues to cry as loud as the gun shots. Then out of no where, a red blur races behind the teenagers. One by one, the boys stumble to the ground. Handguns fly all over the place. They land on the street, next to the fallen teenagers. The boys slowly crawl to their guns. Before one of them can get a good grasp on their weapons, a red laser beam sails in front to the teenagers, scattering the guns into different directions. Importunely for the boys, each pistol skids into an officer's foot. The teenage boys are furious, but fiver more laser beams knock each teenager down to the ground. The boys slowly get to their feet, but suddenly, a giant force field encapsulates the teenagers. The teenagers try to break out of the force field using their hands, feet, guns, pocket knives and other things. But when police officers surround the force field and point their pistols at the teenagers, the boys had no choice but to surrender. The teenagers drop their weapons and put their hands behind their heads. The force field drops, allowing the police officers to handcuff the boys. The officers escort the boys into the patrol cars and they drove them away. When the last car is out of sight, Dash runs toward the scene in a blink of an eye. Sean comes in later, and finally, his sister reappears.
"Well, that was easy." Dash smiles. The three children turn and noticed a bunch of people encircling them. One by one they all applaud to the kids. Sean, Violet and Dash looks at the crowd and smile.
"I love our job." said Sean. Dash and Violet looks at him oddly. Sean stares at his siblings. "Come on guys. Don't you like the sound of applause? Don't you like it when people admire you? Don't you love saving the world?" The three of them looks at each other. Finally, Violet starts to giggle. Dash's laughter follows.
"Well done Incredikids." said a few officers. "You kids are just incredible."
"Thanks officer." Dash said. "But it was nothing really."
"Yeah, yeah." Violet moans. "Same old thing, doing our duty, saving lives, kicking butt. What else is new?" But before anyone can ask, a police officer takes out his walkie-talkie.
"Copy that." He replies. He turns back to the kids. Sean, Violet and Dash stares at the officer, wondering what's wrong. "A building just caught on fire up in Market Avenue. A family is trapped inside. Rescuers are on their way. We need your help kids."
"No problem officer." Violet said. "I'll take care of it." She turns around, but before she could go, Sean grabs her arm. She looks back at her brothers.
"Vi, are you crazy?" Sean asks. "You can't rescue all of those people all by yourself."
"He's right Vi." Dash agrees. "We gotta do this together. We're a team. We're a family Vi."
"Thanks guys." Violet said. "But I have to…" Violet is cut off when an officer's walkie-talkie starts to beep. The officer picks it up and speaks into it. The three children look anxiously at the officer. He hangs up his walkie-talkie and looks back at the kids.
"Someone is taking a little girl hostage near Prince Boulevard." The kids sigh and stare at each other, wondering what to do. Finally, Sean looks at Violet straight in the eye. He smiles, causing Violet to giggle.
"Alright Vi." He said. "If you want to do this, then go for it. Go save them from the fire. I'll take care of the hostage and the criminal." The two of them give each other a great big hug. Finally, Sean runs down the street while Violet goes in the other direction. Dash is left alone in the middle of the city.
"This sucks." He complains. "My brother is gonna save a girl, while my sister saves a family. Why do I always get left behind? It's not fair! What am I suppose to do now?" He sighs. Dash is about to take off, when he notices a woman running toward him. He looks at her. She was crying. When she reaches the child, she fell on her knees, panting for air.
"What seem to be the problem?" Dash asks.
"Dash. You gotta help me." The woman cries. "My daughter is in trouble."
"Where is she?"
At the beach. Horary. I don't think she has…" Immediately, Dash takes off in running. When Dash is out of sight, a crowd of people, including Helen follows. Dash arrives at the beach in record time. He sees a group of people out in front he rushes up to them.
"What's going on here?" Dash asks.
"Take a look." Someone said. He hands Dash a pair of binoculars. Dash takes the binoculars and takes a look. He looks at the ocean, searching for a girl. So far, all he sees is the blue ocean, the blue skies and the bright sun, shining above. Suddenly, a hand pops out of the ocean. Dash focuses in on the person. He suddenly sees a head of a girl. She struggles desperately to the surface. Her cries were so weak, no one can hear her.
"Somebody help my baby!" A woman cries. Dash looks at her, then back at the girl trapped in the ocean. He closes his eyes and starts thinking. He reopens his eyes and turns to the crowd.
"Okay. Listen up. I'm gonna say this once. We got an innocent girl drowning in the middle of the ocean. I need one of you to give me a life raft while the rest of you get some rope. Let's go. Let's go." Immediately, the people gather as much rope as they can. One person comes back with a life raft.
"Okay. Now, here's what I want you to do. I want you all to tie the ropes together to make one, long, gigantic rope. After that, I want you tie the rope to the life raft. Horary. Come on!" The people act quickly. They tied the ropes together and then they tied it to the life raft. They hand the life raft to Dash. Dash takes the tube and looks out into the ocean. He can barely see the girl gasping for air. Dash sighs as he takes a few steps back. The people made a clear path for Dash. He stomps his feet. He throws one end of the rope to someone. Dash looks back at the ocean and sighs. Suddenly, he runs toward the water at blazing speed, carrying the life raft with him. He races toward the girl. Finally, he reaches toward her. He runs around her. The girl desperately tries keeping her head out of the water.
"Grab on!" Dash yells. He throws the life raft toward the girl. Because her energy is diminished, she swims toward the raft sluggishly. She finally reaches the raft. She gets inside the tube. The girl coughs roughly, since she's been in the water for a long time. Dash then stops running, causing him to fall in the ocean. He swims back up to the surface. He swims toward the life raft, with the girl in it.
"Are you okay?" he asks. The girl gives a slight nod. "Don't worry. You're gonna be fine. Hang on tight." Dash then waves his hand out to the beach. Meanwhile, a person with binoculars sees him.
"He got her!" he yells. "Pull now!" The people grab the rope and starts tugging as hard as they could. Slowly, they bring the raft close to the beach. Dash, meanwhile, tries comforting the girl. His thoughtful words make the girl smile. She was cold and tired, but safe. Suddenly, there was a loud "SNAP!" Dash and the girl looks around. Dash grabs the rope attached to the raft and starts pulling on it. He notices that the rope had snapped off. Dash looks back at the girl, who starts crying. He looks out and notices he is a mile away from shore. Dash then has an idea. He jumps back into the water. He gets behind the raft. The girl looks at him and notices him smiling at her.
"Hang on. We're going on a little ride." Dash says. He kicks his feet in the water, pushing the raft forward. He kicks his feet fast and faster. The more he kicks, the more he pushes the raft. Dash can see a crowd of people cheering for him as he approaches the beach. He ceases his kicking and the raft glides across the ocean. The raft then slides out of the water and on the sand. The raft comes to a sudden halt around a crowd of people. The girl leaps out of the raft and jumps into her mother's arms.
"Mommy!" she cries. The two of them embraces each other for a long time.
"My baby!" the woman cries. She places her daughter down and the two of them stares at the young super. "Thank you so much young man. How can we ever repay you?"
"There is no need." Dash answers. "It's all in a days work. Your daughter is tired. She needs rest. She's been in the water for a long time." Dash looks back at the girl and the two of them stares into each others eyes.
"Thank you Dash." She smiles.
"Your welcome. Just remember. The next time you go to the beach, make sure someone like your mom is watching you. Don't go to deep. Who knows? There might be sharks there." Dash's warning causes the girl to shriek. Dash and the others laugh.
"I'm kidding." Dash laughs. "Well, I gotta dash." Dash runs out of the beach with tremendous speed. He heads straight for the city. Meanwhile, Helen follows Dash. She was speechless when she saw Dash rescued the little girl. Jack-Jack on the other hand continues to laugh and bounce in his seat. His laughter stops when he and Helen come to a building on fire. Her eyes widened and her mouth drops.
"Violet!" Helen wonders.
"Vi!" Jack-Jack points. Helen looks back and sees Violet escorting some people out of the building.
"Is that all of them?" Violet asks. Before anyone can answer…
"HELP ME! MOMMY! DADDY! HELP ME!" someone shouts.
"Oh my God! Daniel!" a woman cries. "Help. My baby is trapped in there!" Violet rushes back into the blazing building. She checks through every room, but she couldn't find a single person. She heads to the second floor and once again, has no luck finding someone. She heads up to the third and fourth floor. She searches inside the blazing building, but still has no luck finding a child. Violet stops when she hears screaming and crying. She knows she must be getting close. She heads up the stairs and enters the fifth level. She looks around the room. Pieces of the roof start to fall. Violet puts up a force field to protect herself. When she drops her force field, Violet notices a weird shape figure hiding under a blanket. She crawls toward the figure and removes the blanket. She sees 7 year old boy staring at her with tears in her eyes. Violet smiles as she wipes the tears off the boy's eyes. She then carries the boy on her back.
"Are you okay? Are you Daniel?" She asks. The boy nods. "Okay. Hang on tight, I'm gonna get you out of here." Violet smiles at the frightened boy. Daniel points to the corner of the room.
"Wait!" he said. "My brother! We forgot Joseph!" Violet turns around and sees another boy crying in the corner of the room. She slowly walks toward the boy. She puts Daniel down and walks over to Joseph.
"Come on little guy." She smiles. "You're mommy is waiting for you." Joseph wipes away his tears and takes Violet's hand. Daniel takes Violet's other hand. Violet and the two boys hastily make their way down the building. Violet manages to avoid falling pieces of the ceiling and large holes on the floor. Bursts of flames explode in front of Violet and the two boys, but that didn't stop the teenage girl. She makes her way down to the first floor. She sees the exit. She smiles at Daniel and Joseph.
"We're almost there guys. Hang on tight." She and the boys sprint as fast as they could toward the exit, avoiding exploding flames and falling pieces of the ceiling. The boys are still crying after being inside the burning building for a while. Suddenly, Joseph tripped and fell on the floor. Violet and Daniel turns around and gasped. Joseph screams in pain.
"Ow! My ankle! It hurts!" Violet and Daniel runs back to Joseph. Violet kneels down and carries Joseph on her back. All of the sudden, more and more pieces of the roof starts to fall. Daniel and Joseph start to scream.
"The building is coming down!" yelled Daniel. "We got to get out of here!" Violet looks at the two boys and then at the ceiling. Daniel was right. The building is falling apart, but what can she do? The exit is still a long way from where she's at. She carries Joseph on her back and walks toward Daniel. She smiles at the boys.
"Don't worry." She said. "We'll be just fine. No matter what happens, we're gonna make it out of here. I promise." Violet gives the two boys a hug. She puts a force field around herself and the boys. She closes her eyes as the building falls down on her and the two boys.
Outside of the falling building, Daniel's and Joseph's parents watch in horror. As the building falls, so did the mother's tears. Debris flies all around the area. Helen looks at the collapsed building. She was shocked and she too cries. For a minute, there was a moment of silence. When the debris clears, the people look at the remains of the building. Pieces of the building are stacked on top of each other. Suddenly, a hand springs out of the pile. Another hand appear and finally, a third hand. The people gasp as Violet, Daniel and Joseph climbs out of the mess. The people start cheering. Daniel and Joseph run to their mom and give her a great big hug. The woman smiles at the teenage super.
"Thank you Incredigirl. My family is in debt to you." She cries.
"Not to worry." Violet smiles. "I'm just doing my job." Violet kneels down and the two boys stare into her eyes.
"Thank you Miss. Incredigirl." The replied simultaneously. Violet smiles and giggles.
"Your welcome." She said. "Just remember. Don't play with fire. You'll get yourself burned. Okay?" Daniel and Joseph nod. Violet laughs. She kisses Daniel on the cheek and Joseph on the nose. She turns around and disappears into the city. Helen watches with her mouth wide open. Tears were in her eyes. Jack-Jack, on the other hand bounces with laughter.
"My baby girl." She murmurs. "She saved them all by herself. My Violet. She's become a lot more than what I've expected." Helen wipes away her tears. She gets back in the car and drives off. Thoughts of the rescues performed by Violet and Dash swim around her mind. Tears continue to fall from her eyes. She looks back at her son, Jack-Jack. He points out of the window. Helen looks with eyes wide open. She immediately slams on the brakes. She and Jack-Jack see Sean confronting with another man. The man holds a pistol at a girl's head. Helen examines the girl and looks as if she has seen her before. She suddenly gasps when she recognized the girl.
"Allie!" she screams. The girl is frozen stiff. The man wraps his arm around Allie's throat and places the pistol on her temple. He glares at the teenage super. Sweat falls like raindrops from Sean's head.
"Come on man." He said. "You don't want to do this."
"Oh yes I do." The man said. He puts more pressure on poor Allie's head. Sean looks into his girlfriend's eyes and notices it begins to water. Tears fall from her eyes.
"Help me! Please!" she begs. "Somebody! Help me!"
"Shut your mouth or else I'll blow your beautiful face off." The man threatens. Then, he points his pistol at Sean. "And I wouldn't bother helping her buddy. You take one step, she dies." Sean glares at the man, and then looks helplessly at Allie.
"I'm warning you man." Sean growls. "You pull that trigger, I swear, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." The gunman glares at Sean as he puts even more pressure on Allie's head. Allie cries in pain and for help.
"You're wearing my patience Incredifreak." The gun man aims his gun at Sean. "One more word out your pathetic mouth, then I'll pull this trigger and…"
"BAM!" Sean fires a huge laser beam from his eyes. The man tries to counter by shooting, but the laser nails his hand hard, knocking the pistol out of his hand. Allie breaks free and hides behind a car. The man growls and takes out a knife from his pocket. Sean runs at the man with full speed. He gives a vicious kick in the man's face. He falls down to the ground. Sean looks back at a frightened Allie. He smiles at her.
"Look out! Behind you!" Allie yells. The man lunges his knife, but Sean steps to the side and counters with an elbow to the gut. The gunman groans in pain as he clinches his chest. Sean spins and kicks the man right the face. Sean looks back at Allie. The teenage girl drops her mouth. She and Sean walk slowly toward each other. They smile at each other.
"You okay?" Sean asks.
"Yeah." Allie said. "I'm fine. That was very brave of you, saving me like that."
"Anything for you Allie." Sean smiles. Allie gasps. She widens her eyes.
"How…how…how do you know my name?" she stammers.
"How can I not know the most passionate, the sweetest, the kindest, and the most beautiful girl in Metroville?" Sean said as he touches Allie's cheek. The girl starts to blush. Her cheeks turn as red as Sean's suit. Her smile suddenly disappears.
"Watch out!" Allie screams. Sean looks behind him and notices the man getting back to his feet. He still holds the knife in his hand. He runs toward Sean and Allie at full speed. Allie hides behind Sean as the teenage super gets ready to fight. All of the sudden, a red blur runs pass the man, knocking him down to the ground. His knife slips out of his hand and falls into a sewer. Sean and Allie turns and they see Dash grinning at them.
"Hey man. How's it going?" Dash said. His eyes met Allie's. "And who might this incredibly cute and cuddly person be?"
"Back off." Sean said. "I found her first. She's mi…Dash behind you!" Dash looks around and notices the man reaching for his gun. In a blink of an eye, Dash sprints toward the gun and come back to the two teens, just when the gunner can reach it.
"Looking for this?" Dash asks, spinning the gun around his finger. The gunman glares at the speedster.
"Give me that you pathetic brat!" he orders. He springs to his feet and runs toward the three children. He crashes into a force field and falls down to the ground. He looks up and notices a force field surrounding him. He tries breaking through the force field with his hands and feet, but to no avail. Violet reappears next to her brothers. She grins at the man. She holds her index finger up and wags it at the man.
"Nice try." Violet giggles. "Boys?" a few police officers surround the force field. Violet drops the field and the police officers handcuff the man and haul him away.
"Great job boys." Violet compliments when the police car is out of sight.
"Yeah, thanks." Dash smiles. "You too."
"I'm proud of all of you guys." Sean said. News reporters surround the three young supers.
"I'm here with the Incredikids." Said one reporter. "Who recently just performed amazing rescues. Tell me kids. What are your feelings about all of this?"
"It feels great." Violet answers. "We love saving peoples lives. It's hard, dangerous, intense, and sometimes fun."
"I agree." Sean said. "It's our job as a superhero. It's our duty to serve and protect others."
"Seems like you three are doing perfectly well without your parents."
"Yes we are." Dash said. "Sooner or later, we don't need our parents to save the world. My siblings can do this all by ourselves. We don't need anymore supervision or our parents watching us. We can take care of this world ourselves. How hard can it be?"
"Uh-oh. We better get going. Dinner is almost ready." Violet said. "Thank you all and see ya later." Violet giggles. She turns invisible and disappears into the sunset.
"Gotta run people." Dash said. He sprints off into the sunset.
"Well, so long guys." Sean said. He follows Dash. He reaches toward the end of the city.
"Wait!" someone shouts. Sean turns around and sees Allie smiling at him.
"Yes beautiful?" Sean asks, making Allie blush.
"I haven't got a chance to say goodbye to you." The two teens smiled at each other. They draw close to each other. Sean and Allie plant a kiss on each other's lips. Finally, they gaze into each other's eyes.
"I better get going." Sean said.
"Wait!" Allie cries. "Will I ever see you again?" Sean smiles. He places his hands on Allie's cheek and holds her chin up.
When the sun shines above,
There is nothing but love.
When the sun goes down,
There shouldn't be a frown.
So before I go,
You should always know,
That I will always be,
In your heart, enduringly.
Sean kisses Allie's cheek and disappears into the sunset. Allie watches with her eyes wide open.
"S…S…Sean?" she thought. A huge smile appears on her face. She jumps for joy and dances heavenly toward home. The sun disappears into the horizon as she enters her room and faints on her bed.
