A/N Here it is! Mr. Incredible vs. Hatake Kakashi. This is my second attempt at writing for this character, and I hope I've improved at it. I still can't get my head around the Naruto universe, but I've taken a few moves from battles I've watched, and Khellan Rafes' story. Speaking of: Khellan is my opponent this round. He beat me last time, and turned in his story several weeks early this time, so go read it, because its awesome stuff. I have included a little of Kakashis' subplot with Jade Curtiss, but KRs story really does it so much better, while mine focuses on Bobs motivations. Please, enjoy…

The rock jutted out from the side of the mountain, like a gigantic thorn growing from its side. It was 10 feet across, and almost triple that in length. Standing on the edge of it, Mr. Incredible could see all the way out to the cliffs on inner-south-eastern corner of Grand Cross Isle. The wind up here buffeted even his receding blonde curls from his scalp, and they fluttered in the breeze, as if desperately trying to catch on and be hoisted away. Looking down over the edge, the hero could see a good 50 feet or so to the ground. Ahead of him, in a vast clearing at the base of the mountain, was an outpost that had been ruined in some prior battle. It had been intended to guard the entrance to the scar through the middle of the mountain, but now all that was left was Incredible. A little way beyond the ruins, a small figure approached.

"There you are… Just as Solidus said." He narrowed his eyes as the figure grew closer. Yep, it was definitely the ninja one. Kakashi – if he remembered correctly. Solidus had said the poor thing had gone crazy, and would most likely try to storm the complex single handedly. It was Incredibles' job now to stop him – or at least hold him back until help arrived.

Above him, thunderous explosions, distant screams, and screeches of tearing metal rang out from the mountain. All hell had broken loose in the complex in the time since Solidus had spoken to Incredible. His first thought had been to move straight up there and help. Perhaps Kakashi had already found his way up, and his superiors were in danger? But after scaling some way up the mountain, and scouting from the edge of this rock, Bob had found the ninja down there; just as Solidus had promised. Whatever it was that was going on up there didn't concern him; he could safely assume that BORED had it under control.

As the ninja approached, Incredible adopted his classic superhero pose – chest puffed out, accentuating his gigantic muscular form, hands on his hips, and eyes narrowed threateningly in the direction of his hapless foe. It was a pose he often saved for a last-stand type of fight – where all hope seemed lost; the people would look to him, and see his confidence, radiating from his defiant stance…

"Incredible. Nice to see you here. You look ridiculous." Kakashi called out to him from down below. Incredibles' chest suddenly dropped. Flustered.

"I- no wait, You, uh… hey! Wait a minute!" Kakashi had turned slightly, so he could walk around the boulder.

"Can't stop. Have to get to the base" He replied briskly, as he reached the base of the Hero's rock. "Don't you have better things to do, like run away with everyone else?"

"Run? No way. BORED would never run from you – even if there was a chance you would through me to them. They aren't afraid of you Kakashi." Incredible began slowly walking along his rock, towards the shinobi, who was now level with him on the mountainside. Kakashi stopped, and turned to face him.

"Solidus sent you here, didn't he?"

"Of course he did. I don't know what kind of super ninja code you subscribed to – but a true hero is loyal to the people!"

"Incredible, you're a fool! What people? There is no one here on this island worth protecting. Right now, BORED is evacuating themselves from the complex – they're planning to blow up the whole island, killing us all in the process!" Kakashi yelled. He was not typically one to lose control, but it seemed like the truth still hadn't made it through the brute's thick head. Even now, he was still smiling.

"Solidus said you'd say that."

"Dammit!"

"Looks like you have been contaminated after all."

"Contaminated?! What are you talking about?"

"You've caught the same disease that the escaped prisoners had! Solidus told me – it spreads through their blood. Kakashi… did you kill one of the convicts?"

Kakashi fought to stay in control of himself. It was difficult, he knew, but imperative that Incredible realize his mistake. He was powerful. Perhaps the shinobi could defeat him, but it would take a titanic effort on his part, and he could hardly expect to come out fit enough to survive the maelstrom of chaos slowly engulfing the island. Far better to have the hero fighting on his side.

"Mr. Incredible… Bob. Think about it, for just a minute! Everything BORED has told you is a lie! This is no research facility – those are not convicts out there! This whole island is a game! A survival tournament, undertaken by debtors to the company, who are forced to fight eachother to the death, enforced by the best muscle that they could hire – or dupe, in your case."

"You're wrong. This island is sanctified by the government – a legitimate peace loving…" Suddenly, there was a spectacular from high above them – as the mountain erupted in flames. An almighty crack, followed by the thundering of endless streams of rocks and dirt tumbling down the ledge, stunned the two enforcers. Kakashi was the first to snap to his senses.

"Avalanche!" he cried. He began performing hand gestures, when the big man suddenly grabbed him – and hauled him closer, and upwards, so they were nose to nose.

"I can't let you do that, ninja."

"Idiot!" He muttered, squirming under the iron grip. He nodded his head in the direction of the peak "There! See what those corporate devils have done!" A huge cloud of dust, rock and fire was making its way rapidly down the mountainside towards the pair. Incredible dropped Kakashi, who, seeing no alternative, sprinted towards the end of the precipice, and leapt over the 15 meter drop… Incredible turned to face the avalanche…

His bones protested vigorously as he hit the ground, but Kakashi was experienced enough not to break them on impact. He took shelter behind the face of the rock, and watched as the debris tumbled around him on either side. Then, like a waterfall suddenly set loose, a torrent of rock shot over him, and plummeted on the ground in front of him, before continuing its unstoppable march downhill. In seconds it was over. Kakashi ran back around the rock, to see what had become of his opponent.

Mr. Incredible had simply stood there as the rocks had descended upon him. When the avalanche hit, he closed his eyes, and swung with all his might. Again. And again. His body was pounded by the waves of dust and small stones, but his skin was thick, and his suit was strong. Occasionally his blindly flailing fists would find larger rocks and boulders to pulverize, the shattered remnants of which would bounce harmlessly off the rest of his body. When thundering ceased, and the dust cloud blew away, Incredible opened his eyes to see Kakashi again in front of him.

"We're lucky. It was only a little one. But BORED has issued a self-destruct sequence on this island. We can't let them get away, or everyone here will die." The shinobi turned, and began marching uphill. Incredible followed quickly. In the distance, the sound of a large engine could be heard starting up the top of the mountain.

"Look, Kakashi, I get it! I know, the bunks are uncomfortable, the routine is tedious, and the bosses don't talk much…" The ninja ignored him, and ploughed on upwards. Bob sprinted to get ahead, and started walking backwards in front of him. "Listen! I'm trying to help you! If you turn yourself over now I'll tell Solidus this was all just a big mistake! You're not crazy, you're not diseased, I can see that now… Kakashi!" In his pleas, Incredible hadn't been paying attention to Kakashis' hands. So he was completely unprepared for the burst of wind Jutsu, which knocked him off his feet. Suddenly on his back, Incredible found himself looking up at a very angry looking Kakashi, with a kunai held to his throat. Above them, another cloud of dust could be seen, descending from the peak. The engine sounds grew louder.

"Listen to me, Big Man. I'm trying to save you from this deathtrap. You've been on this island for well over a month now – and what do you know about it? Whatever BORED tells you. Typical. While you've spent all your time jogging, I've been investigating. I have a contact in the control room at the complex, and she's told me everything. Did you wonder why not a single prisoner made it back alive? Or why no one from the government has actually told you about this in person? Or why after all this time you still can't get in contact with your wife?" Suddenly the engines were right on top of them. The combined sound as six ATVs roared to a halt was incredible. As the dust blew over him, Incredible stood up, ignoring the negligible force of the ninja holding him down, and the blade the pressed hard against his skin. To Kakashis' surprise, it couldn't seem to cut him.

There were 12 Klokateers in all, crammed into the six one-seater vehicles. Before the dust kicked up by their arrival had settled, they leapt from their seats and began drawing out weapons. Some carried assault rifles, others had a sword and shield. A particularly large Klok wielded a hefty flail, which dragged along the ground behind him.

"This is it Kakashi. Come quietly now, and we won't have to hurt you." Incredible said, cautious and informative.

"Quietly? To hell with that – lets kill 'im!" The big Klokateer declared, followed by a ghastly screamo-battlecry.

"No!" The nearest Klokateer raised his gun – and Incredible lashed out as he fired. The impact knocked the henchman off his feet, and before he could make another move, a kunai seemed to fly out of nowhere, and puncture his neck. Incredible turned back to see Kakashi was suddenly in motion. He had seen this coming; Solidus couldn't possibly want him alive, but he couldn't tell Incredible to kill him. The Klokateers descended on him, but before they could take two steps, he had engaged in a whirling, spiraling dance of death that carried him away.

Two were struck down in as many seconds, their weapons thrown aside, and their heads bruised with the force of Kakashi's spinning kick. The ninja flipped backward, and landed on another's shoulders. With a bizarre spin of his feet, he broke the mans neck; dropping to his knees as the body crumpled under him. One Klokateer leapt at him, sword held high, while another raised his gun and fired.

Still kneeling, Kakashi grabbed the leaping henchman, and pulled him into the line of fire; a human shield. As he shook with the barrage of bullets berating his back, the man dropped his sword, which Kakashi immediately grabbed. The ninja stood, holding his meat shield up in front of him. When the firing stopped, it took just a split second for Kakashi to drop the body, and hurl the sword at the offending gunner. It buried itself in his chest, and he went down like a lead balloon. The first two that Kakashi had knocked over had now stood up, and were facing him, fists out, with the rest, in an intimidating semi circle. Kakashi was forced to back on to the protruding rock. Three down; nine to go.

Meanwhile, Incredible still hadn't made up his mind whose side to fight for. He knew his duty to his employer meant to restrain, perhaps even incapacitate the ninja… but what he had said struck a chord in him. That gut feeling he had ignored since day one that this whole operation was not right…

He watched in frustration, as Kakashi murdered three more of the Klokateers, this time with a weird series of hand gestures and chants, that blasted balls of fire and energy at the hapless henchmen. The fight had been decided before it had begun; they were no match for the ninja.

Until something incredible happened: one Klokateer, who still had a machine gun, opened fire, and actually hit the ninja's leg!

Kakashi felt a hole tear through his skin. Before he could think about the pain, he had disarmed, disabled, and decapitated the culprit. As he turned back, to face the others though, his leg crumpled under him. He dropped to his knees, with a shout. The wound was worse than expected. The last thing he had seen before he turned was Incredible, still standing by on the sidelines.

"Help…" he managed to whisper, though he was sure he hadn't been heard.

The largest Klokateer saw his chance, and sprinted at his fallen foe, with surprising agility for his bulk. He raised his chain and ball high above his head-

Only to be thrown back by an enormous punch in the gut from Mr. Incredible.

The brutish Klok was tossed out onto the rock, almost rolling off the edge, but catching himself just in time.

Kakashi stood, awkwardly, and made a blur of gestures with his hands;

"Suiton, Suiryuudan no Jutsu!" He cried – and a torrent of water suddenly exploded from the ground around him.

Incredible, standing behind him, watched in awe as the blast of water first engulfed Kakashi, then twisted itself into some lizard-like shape that he couldn't see clearly. He could have sworn he heard it roar though, as it suddenly turned on the remaining Klokateers, and blasted them all down the hill. Like the avalanche before, the water was split around both sides of the rock, with a temporary waterfall forming over the tip. The rest of the team of henchmen were washed away, all the way to the base of the mountain. All but one. Suddenly the torrent stopped.

"Huh. I should have guessed you'd still be with us." Kakashi muttered, as he saw that only the heaviest of the Klokateers had survived… and he still had his weapon. But with a quick flick of the wrist, the shinobi sunk a kunai, straight into the middle of the mans chest. Without a second glance, Kakashi hoisted the keys out of a dead mans belt, and climbed onto one of the ATVs.

"Wait! Come back here!"

Mr. Incredible sighed. He was opposed to killing under most circumstances, but at this point he still wasn't sure what side to be on. After some deliberation, he decided his best bet would be to follow Kakashi, and at least find out what was going on at the base. He sat down on the nearest ATV… and heard a metallic snap as the suspension buckled. "Best be going by foot then." He muttered to himself.

Incredible was a fast runner. His son, Dash, could reach speeds of over 190mph. That was his power. Mr. Incredible couldn't make it anywhere near that, but thanks to his hugely developed muscles, his sprints could be in excess of 20mph. Which was good, because Kakashis' ATV would probably not even make that speed going up a mountain. Incredible took off uphill, hot on the shinobis' tail.

At the top of the mountain, all hell had broken loose. Kakashi slid to a halt on his vehicle, and surveyed the base. Explosions and gunshots seemed to come from everywhere around him; certain parts of the complex shook under the weight of whatever chaos was going on inside.

Behind him he could see Incredible, running up the almost sheer mountain walls. The flat part that Kakashi now stood on was the only clear ground in sight. He was a few feet away from the massive drop into the volcanic crater… and it looked like it was stirring. Through the noxious gases that permeated the atmosphere all around, a bright red glow shone through from deep below. Fires raged throughout the base, windows were broken, some supports were gone, or partially gone. The closest door was a hundred meters ahead of Kakashi. He couldn't possibly make it before Incredible reached him; he would have to hold him off. He began making hand gestures again.

"Suiton, Suiryuudan no Jutsu!" He repeated. The massive torrent of water descended almost vertically on the bright red form of the hero. When it had all washed away, Kakashi was unsurprised to see him still clinging on to the rock face.

"Kakashi! Stop this now! I won't let you kill anyone else. There must be a better way to resolve this!"

"There is no better way, Incredible, don't you see? These men are monsters. They deserve to die."

"Talk to them with me! Or we can take them to the authorities…"

"They are the authorities! They've every kind of earthly power in their collective pockets. This is your last chance to come with me Bob. I'm stealing a helicopter, and getting off this god forsaken island, and if I run into Solidus or Ofdenson… Then your help in killing them would be appreciated." As he spoke, he backed away from the hero. Incredibles' running pace had slowed to a gradual walk over the lip of the slope. The air up here was rife with toxic fumes, and although his lungs were tough, the heros' oxygen-deprived body was quickly exhausted by the effort of breathing. The ninja seemed fine, breathing through the fabric around his head. The two stood facing each other on the flat ground.

"I'm not killing anyone for you until I know the truth. I want to be certain." His voice was raspier, both from the gases, and the desperation in his tone.

"Well then you're just going to get in my way." Kakashi turned, and began to walk towards the door.

Out of options, Mr. Incredible leapt at the ninja. This sudden offensive was futile, as Kakashi simply dashed away to the left. As he did so, he began some more of his hand gestures.

"Katon, Hosenka no Jutsu!" A fireball appeared between his fingers; blowing on it sent a series of fragments of it spiraling towards the hero. Incredible rolled, as all around him the fireballs tore up the ground. Some singed his suit, but he shrugged of the mere twinge of pain. "Will nothing hurt you Incredible!?"

"Nothing that you've got." Bob charged again, this time ready for Kakashis' leap to the side. It didn't come; the ninja jumped towards him, and before he could make a grab, bounced off his shoulders, did a mid-air flip, and landed softly behind his back. The pressure on his back was enough to drive Bob into the ground, with a bone-crunching crack. "Ow! Oh, ow my back!" He twisted on his belly, awkwardly reaching for his spine. It felt dislodged somehow – hurting in his upper… his lower… his shoulders… Damn this old age! He used to be able to lift up buildings while bending over, but now arthritis had set in.

"Huh. Looks like you have a little back problem. Here, let me help you with that…" Kakashi smiled, threateningly, as he began another hand gesture.

"NO!" Cried Bob, slamming his fist on the ground. The shockwave knocked Kakashi off his feet, and disrupted the flow of his chakra. The rock they were standing on began to crack in several places, spider webbing out across the whole plateau area. Within seconds, spider cracks became larger slits, which became large splits, which split off into smaller and smaller segments, and began tumbling down either side of the mountain. Kakashi leapt up, as the ground he stood on turned into an avalanche down the mountainside, landing on the nearest stable rock in sight. Mr. Incredible was still lying on the floor in pain, while underneath him it began to fall apart, and slide towards the crater of the volcano. As he fell, with the rubble, he could see Kakashi above him, watching.

"I'm sorry it had to end this way." He kicked a rock over the edge, and watched it plummet past the hero, who was clinging desperately to the ever-steeper cliff face.

"Kakashi no! Please!" The ninja ignored him, and began his march towards the door. Incredible lost his footing, and felt his lower half falling. He grabbed a protruding rock, weathering a rain of smaller rocks on his head. Frustrated, and desperate, and sick of appealing to the ninjas non-existent common sense, he punched angrily at the wall of the volcano.

The entire rim of the volcano shook – cracks spread out a hundred feet in either direction. With the force of the impact, Bob felt his back crack again… and the pain stopped. Then his handhold gave way. Huge chunks of cliff began to rain down into the magma far below. Incredible was buffeted by the avalanche, but jammed his fists into the solid rock in front of him, creating handholds for himself. He heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He had underestimated his own strength.

Kakashi was not so lucky. Not seeing, and not expecting, he was literally blown away by the force of the punch. The ground underneath him began to crumble, and he scrambled desperately for a handhold, a foothold… anything! When finally his feet found purchase, he realized that the solid rock he had clung to… was actually a large chunk that had disconnected itself from the cliff. The last that Mr. Incredible saw of the ninja, was kneeling on the massive boulder, head bowed in acceptance, as it tumbled into the steamy abyss.

When the dust had settled, and the thoroughly unstable mountain had found some sense of equilibrium, Incredible began to climb. By the time he reached the top, he was exhausted. Both by the poison in the air, the effort of his ascent, and the loss of perhaps the only friend he had on the island. He climbed across the uneven edge of the mountain, towards the door. There was no level, or stable ground left here. When he made it, he swiped his keycard in the slot. ACCESS DENIED. Sighing, he jammed his finger into the seam of the door, and forced it open with his bare hands. Inside, the air was filtered, and he could breathe easy again. Inside, he could hear the tremors of battle coursing through the complex. Inside, he would find his answers.

A/N Kakashi is not dead! As demonstrated in KRs chapter, it is totally feasible for him to save himself from the situation, but here is where their encounter ends, and thus ends the chapter. An intermission is forthcoming in which the Incredible family will enter the island, then fight their way out, but I shall await judgment before writing it. Thank you for your patience! And good luck Khellan!
