Chapter Three
Tony's New Life.
A boat raced across the ocean, miles away from land. The driver of the boat occasionally took glances at the passenger, a teenage boy with brown hair. There was a rowboat being towed by the Speed Boat, and inside the cargo area of the speed boat was some food, water, some magazines, and even a waterproof pillow and blanket. Finally, the boat slowed to a stop.
"Are you sure that this is what you want, Tony?" asked the man, "Because even now, we can go back to the city."
"I wouldn't be in this seat if this wasn't it," said Tony, "now remember to erase all files of me and the memories too."
"Okay, Tony." Said the man, his Uncle, "you are aware that once you get in that boat, there's no turning back, right?"
"I know what I am getting myself into," said Tony, "and I know this is for the best."
"Well," said his uncle, "don't say I didn't warn you." Tony took the bags of food, water, and other things, and put them in the rowboat. He jumped in, and grabbed some paddles. He began to row away from his uncle. His uncle watched him row until he disappeared behind the horizon. The man wiped away some tears. Tony had always been a good guy. He was even willing to overlook the act of adultery that Tony had committed. The man was an agent in the CIA, and had the power to erase all memories and records of Tony. No one would ever see Tony again.
Tony enjoyed being in this boat. He loved the sun on him, and he loved his freedom. This was a million times better than sitting in class for hours on end. Tony felt no remorse over Violet, but she WAS a nice girl. Soon, however, he began to feel guilty; he was now wishing for a way to find Violet.
Suddenly, one of the oars that was paddling him along, slipped out of his hand, and sank into the depths of the ocean. Tony watched it until it disappeared from view. What an idiot he felt like; why didn't he jump in after it?
The oar sank lower and lower, and came to rest on a rock. The rock was unable to support it and slipped off its perch. It sank, and hit a bright red object. Suddenly, Tony felt like he was spinning. He looked in the water, and before he knew it, a whirlpool had opened beneath him. The boat somehow was teetering on the edge. Somehow, the boat was yanked out from under him, causing Tony to fall into the whirlpool.
When Tony came too, he was expecting to be at Heaven's gate, with a luminous white light, but only saw a dimly lit cave. He looked around, the hum of machinery filling his ears. Suddenly, a bright light blinded him for a bit. When he regained vision, he was looking at a figure on a screen. The figure had red hair that pointed upwards like fire, and had a black suit with a large white S on it.
"Ah," said the figure, "so you are my replacement. I am not the real Syndrome, but a virtual reality Syndrome. It's like my soul is trapped in this computer. You can talk to me, I will respond.
"Syndome?" asked Tony, "weren't you the guy who-"
"Yes," said the fake Syndrome, in an exasperated tone, "that was me, the Incredibles and their icy friend thwarted me. Now, I need someone to take my place, and destroy them. You look pretty physically fit, so have a seat." Some metal wrapped around Tony's wrists and ankles, and something leathery hit the back of his knees, causing him to fall, and was now sitting in a chair.
"You may experience some slight discomfort," said the fake Syndrome, "but it's all part of the process." Tony felt his mind being erased. His memories of school, family, and friends were fading. Soon, He could remember nothing, not even his own name. Only one thing was remaining in his mind. A girl with long black hair, who always had some of it over her eye. He didn't know her name, but he felt like he did something real bad to her.
A few hours later, a figure walked out of a large building designed to look like a mountain.
"Tony is dead, obliterated," said the figure, "and from his ashes rises Second Sight. I will destroy the Incredibles and take over the world." Second Sight's costume was a grey morph suit, with a large black S on the chest, and then there was another S, but small, blue, and facing the opposite direction from the large grey one. There was a similar design, only smaller, on the forehead of his mask. Second Sight was going to take control over Syndrome's old weapons and gadgets and destroy the Incredibles, or die trying.
