Nomanisan Bound

The next morning, Dash was restless, excited, and ready to go. As soon as he got up, he quickly changed into his super suit and sprinted down the stairs for breakfast. When he sat down by the table, Helen placed a plate of food on the table. Dash gazed at the vast amount of delicious food placed on the table. He noticed a stack of pancakes, a bottle syrup, sizzling sausage patties piled on top of each other, a plateful of fried, fresh bacon, and scrambled eggs.

"Eat up honey." said Helen. "A super hero must be strong and healthy on a high level mission."

Bob and Dash loaded their plates with food. They started to devour their breakfast. Minutes later, Violet came downstairs. She sat down and helped herself to some pancakes and syrup.

"Good morning Violet." greeted Helen.

"Morning mom." Violet replied in a tired, monotonic voice.

"Did you sleep well?" Helen inquired. Violet nodded.

While the Parrs eat their breakfast, Bob discussed the general overview of the mission. "Okay everyone. Here's the plan. The NSA is going to provide us a jet to take us over to Nomanisan Island. Further details of our mission will be explained during our trip there. Everything clear?"

The family nodded. After the Parrs finished their breakfast, they started to put their dishes away. Bob offered Helen to wash the dishes for her. Helen agreed and went upstairs to get her super suit. Before she got to her room, she stopped at the door to Violet's room. She peeked inside and saw Violet sitting on her bed with her face hiding behind her hair. Helen walked into the room and sat down next to her daughter.

"You nervous Vi?"

"Yes mom, I am."

"You don't have to be. You have your family coming along with you." Helen reassured. Violet was silent and did not say a word. Helen sighed. "Honey, is there something you want to tell me?"

Violet brushed her hair out of her face and looked at her mother. "Mom, I don't want to be a super hero any more."

Helen was shocked to hear Violet say this. "Honey, how can you say such a thing? You know you don't mean it."

"Yes I do mom." Violet answered a little louder.

"No you don't."

"YES I DO MOM!" shouted Vi. Helen was surprised and winced but Violet started to calm down. "You don't understand mom. My powers. . . they aren't special, they are a curse to me. Ever since I first discovered my powers, my life changed. You don't know what it's like. To move from place to place, trying to be normal when the truth is, you can't. And now, because I have to patrol with you guys, my social life has been cut off from me. I can't spend anytime with my friends, I canceled my last four dates with Tony, and school has become so much harder now. Why was I cursed with these powers? Why can't I be normal mom? WHY?"

Tears cascaded out of the teenaged Parr's eyes. She burred her face into her pillow and started to cry. Helen couldn't help but feel sorry for her daughter.

"Oh sweetie," she consoled Vi, "your powers are not a curse, they are what make you, you. Do you see? You think of all the negative side of having powers, you overlooked the positive side of them. I mean, think of all the lives you saved with your powers, how many villains you apprehended, and even better, you Violet, are Tony Rydinger's favorite hero."

Violet smiled. She totally remembered that event.

Start flashback

One day after school, Violet was waiting in front of the school for her mom to pick her up. Suddenly, Tony Rydinger came up from behind.

"Hi Violet!"

"Hey Tony. How are you today?"

"Well, I'm glad you asked. Last night I had one of the scariest nights of my life."

"Do tell!" requested Violet. She knew what had happened on account that she was the one who saved him.

"Well, I was walking home from school, when this demented, crazy guy grabbed me from behind and trapped me in a headlock. As I struggled to break free, he pulled out a gun from his pocket and aimed it right at my head. I've never been so terrified in my entire life. When the police came, sweat was dripping down my head and shivers were sent through my spine. He demanded $500,000 and a getaway car or he would kill me. After a while, something surprising happened. All of the sudden, the man taking me hostage got clonked in the back with a pole. He fell to the floor and had a look of terror on his face. I looked behind and almost jumped out of my skin as I saw a levitating pole in front of my face. I was terrified, Invisigirl appeared right in front of me. After that, she formed a force field, entrapping the crazed out man." Tony concluded. "And it was so incredible Violet, Invisigirl is just so amazing. I wish I could go out with her. Someone so brave, determined, beautiful, and heroic like her!"

Every word Tony said made Violet redder and redder. "If only you knew Tony." she whispered to herself. "Your wish will always come true every time."

End flashback

Violet flashed a small smile. Helen continued. "You see Violet. You are so desperate in trying to be normal, you never give yourself, or your powers a chance to shine. Remember Violet, it's not about what you are, but who you are that really matters."

Violet wiped away her tears. "Thanks mom." She said, embracing her mother.

Helen kissed her daughter on the forehead, the went to her room to change into her super suit. Violet went to her closet, took out her super suit, and started to get dressed. She placed her feet into her boots and her hands in her gloves. After that, she placed the mask on her face. Before leaving, she went to her dresser. Violet reached in one of her drawers and took out her orange headband. She place it on her head with her hair tucked behind her ears. After taking one last glance at the mirror, she left her room and into the garage.

The family all entered the Incredibile. They first drove to Lucius's house and dropped off Jack-Jack. Next the family of super heroes drove to the Metroville Airport. They were greeted by Rick Dicker. Everyone in the family took turns to shake his hand. Afterwards, the Incredibles family boarded a manta jet and departed from the airport.

"The NSA received very strange life readings on Nomanisan Isand." explained Rick.

"What kind of readings?" Elastigirl wondered.

"You are not going to believe this," Rick said, "but according to the information we obtained, the NSA hypothesizes that the supers who have died in the past are still active in the island."

Everyone's eyes widened. "Anything else?" inquired Dash.

"Well, now that you mentioned it, we also believe that your arch-nemesis Syndrome is still alive on this island. However, we were unable to find the connection between the two strange events."

"You want us to find out what is going on in Nomanisan Isaland." concluded Mr. Incredible.

"Affirmative." Rick smiled.

The plane reached nearer towards the island. The family looked out the window of the plane and saw the beautiful island. As the plane circled around Nomanisan, Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Invisigirl, and Speedster gazed at the islands exuberant, lushes jungles, cascading waterfalls, powerful volcanoes, tropical lagoons.

"This island brings back a lot of memories." mumbled Violet.

Mr. Incredible spoke to his family. "Okay everyone. Here's the plan. We are all going to split up and explore a different part of the island."

Invisigirl did not like the sound of her father's idea. "Uh dad," she asked, "Do we have to. . . you know, split up? I mean, wouldn't it be just safer to. . . stick together?"

"Oh come one Vi, stop being such a sissy." Speedster laughed.

"Dash, be nice to your sister." warned Elastigirl.

The super heroine tried her hardest not to cry. Then, the jet made a smooth landing in the ocean. It floated slowly towards the beach.

"Violet, this is your stop." Mr. Incredible mentioned.

Invisigirl began to tremble as apprehension grew inside of her. Finally, they jet reached the beach. Invisigirl jumped out of the jet and landed on the sandy beach. As the manta jet began to depart, the teenaged super turned around and faced the jungle in front of her.

"Okay Violet," she sighed to herself, "you can do this. Just. . . don't die, get beat up, or let anything bad happen."

Invisigirl gulped. She had never felt so nervous and anxious in her entire life. She gave one last long sigh before she sprinted and started her adventure in the jungle of Nomanisan Island.
