Chapter Five

Chance's Adventure Begins

A few hours later, Chance roused to awakening. A long running gene is his family was the quick wearing off of Sedative drugs and sleep aids. They wore off much faster than the average person, so his whole family was blessed as well as cursed by it. After a few seconds, he found he was in a fast moving pod. Upon looking out the window, he found he was heading Mach speed for a wall of solid rock. Judging by the speed, he was going to hit the wall in ten minutes,

"Holy smokes," cried Chance, "I gotta find a way off this thing before I meet my untimely demise." Chance looked out the window. He was about a mile over the ocean, so a jump was scratched off the list of possible ways out. He began to tear around the pod, searching for parts to make something to leave the ship with. He could get plenty of circuits from the control board in front of him, and there was a jump suit with a helmet and gloves, as well as some prototype ray guns. These could become laser gloves, but would not be able to get him out of here. Chance sighed a sad sigh,

"Second Sight has won," he said, tears forming on the outer edges of his eyes, "I'm doomed." Suddenly, bright light filled the pod, and there he saw a figure he recognized right off the bat, due to her soft blue eyes and short blonde hair,

"Mom?" asked Chance,

"Chance," she said, her voice mending his broken heart, "all is not lost, for you have not learned to fully harness your powers. We can both see electronics we can use, even though walls and floors. Stare down at the floor." Chance did so, and found that there was an engine under him, which he could access by pulling away the rug and opening a hatch. When he did that, he found he could make a jetpack.

"Do not give up," said Lola, "I know you can defeat Second Sight, and save Violet. I believe in you." The woman kissed Chance's head, and disappeared as mysteriously as she appeared. His faith restored, Chance wiped away some stray tears (these out of happiness at the sight of his dead mother) and constructed his jetpack, and some laser gloves to defend himself with. He shot the top off of the pod, and flew out, the pod exploding on the rock wall seconds after he escaped from it. He flew on, trying to find a place to land and get his bearings, when suddenly; he heard the sound of cries for help. He flew towards where the cries had come from. He saw a woman with fair skin and white hair strapped to a wall. A boulder was coming right at her. Chance freed her and flew her from the boulder. He put her on the safety of the beach.

"Thanks," she said, "for saving me."

"Who are you?" asked Chance,

"My name is Mirage," said the woman, "and I know what both you and this Second Sight," she raised her hands and put air quotes around Second Sight, "are doing. You are trying to save Violet from his clutches, but his plan is more complex than that, it's not just trying to woo her; it is trying to destroy her whole family. All of them are in predicaments that they can't escape without you. Your powers won't be enough to save them." She placed a chip in his hands, and closed his fingers around it, "this is a chip that Syndrome was designing before he was killed. It is supposed to harness the powers of other Supers. But it can only allow one to mimic them. It can't actually syphon them."

Chance had an idea. He used his powers to mend the chip into his glove. Now when he touched a super with his right hand, he could mimic their powers.

"The chip," Mirage continued, "can hold an infinite amount of powers, and when you touch a super whose powers you are mimicking, you lose their power." Chance nodded. "I cannot tell you where the Incredibles are. But I can tell you that Syndrome's old lab has recently been reactivated. It is worth taking a look. You can find it through a large hole in the top of this mountain."

"Thanks for your help." said Chance, "Will you need a ride off of the island?"

"I can find my own way," said Mirage, "but thanks for offering." Chance bid her farewell and took off into the air. He eventually found the hole he was looking for, and flew into it. It was a long, narrow tunnel, with plenty of falling rocks and other hazards for Chance to dodge. He made it into the lab, and turned the jetpack off. It was overheating, and if it got too hot, it would explode. Chance began to search the lab on foot. He hacked computers with his powers to learn the way around the lab. After half an hour of searching, he saw something that surprised him.

Mr. Incredible was trapped in a chamber. He was floating, and Chance could see that the chamber was an anti-gravity chamber. Because of this, Mr. Incredible would not be able to break the glass he was trapped behind. Upon seeing Chance, he said,

"Why are you here? Can't you see my troubles are already bad? You're just making them worse."

"And here," said Chance, "I thought I was going to free you. Now that I have been greeted with such rudeness, I am reconsidering. I have the power to free you, but won't until you are a little nicer to me." Mr. Incredible looked ashamed,

"Sorry," he said, "I hadn't realized that you're a super too." Chance nodded, and began to go to the console. But before he could get there, and alarm began to blare.

"Intrude alert, intruder alert. Guards are being sent to neutralize the threat." Chance restarted the jetpack and flew out the hole. Three guards with Jetpacks were giving chase. Chance shot at them occasionally. Then he had an idea. He flew straight up, and they followed. Just before their jet packs stalled, Chance turned his off and dropped down. He shot their jet packs, thus sending them on a plummet to the mean ocean.

Mr. Incredible was confused. What had happened to Chance? Soon, Chance flew back into the hole. He was able to shut off the consul, thus returning the weight to Mr. Incredible. He destroyed the glass holding him prisoner, and came to thank Chance.

"Your daughter," said Chance, "is in trouble."

"I know," said Mr. Incredible, "he told us that she is being held at his lair at the bottom of the ocean, and that if any of the Incredibles come to save her, she will be killed."

"I have a glove that allows me to mimic the powers of other supers," said Chance, "and I would like to mimic your muscle." Mr. Incredible gave him a look, then said,

"I guess I have no other choice." Chance touched his shoulder. A tingling came over his whole body, and the next thing he knew, he was extremely muscle bound.

"Go and save my daughter," said Chance, "but first, go and save my wife. She is being held somewhere in Asia."

"Mr. Incredible," a voice came out of nowhere, "I can take you back to your home." It was the voice of Mirage.

Chance hitched a ride back, and went to his Garage. He waved his hands madly over his car. It became a typical super hero car. It could fly, as well as go underwater. Chance could also teleport people into and out of his car. Next Stop: Asia.
