Chapter 17: Desperate Prayers.

Dash and his family had gotten separated by the massive blast. He had landed in a destroyed building and was just now waking up.

He looked around, "Violet?! Mom?! Dad?! Frozone?!" Dash called before seeing that no one was nearby. He quickly moved as fast as he could outside, despite his injuries, only to see nobody around. He looked through the destroyed city for a while longer, but still found no traces of his family. After a while, he got worried.

He then started to cry before getting on his knees, placing his hands together and saying, "Lord, if you're listening, please let my family and Lucius survive this. I don't know what I'll do without them." in a desperate prayer. Little did he know, Violet, who was on the other side of the building he was in front of, was doing the same. She woke up some time after he did and had no luck finding everyone else either. She had just finished praying and was crying as she got up and walked to the other side of the building just a second after Dash had run off to find everyone else. Dash started searching for the rest of his family in destroyed buildings or piles of rubble and soon found them in a half-wrecked office building. When he asked if they had seen Violet and they replied no, Dash started to get panicked. He quickly ran off, ignoring his parents calling him and stopped after running for a while, not knowing that he and Violet were just across from one another. When Dash and Violet caught sight of each other, Violet froze with tears building up and Dash's tears started falling like mad.

"DAAAAAAASH!" Violet wailed as she ran at him.

"VIIIIIIIIOLEEEEEEET!" Dash wailed as he ran at her and they jumped into each other's arms, sobbing uncontrollably with tears pouring out of their eyes and snot pouring out of their noses. Dash was crying on her shoulder while Violet hugged him. After a while, they were reunited with the rest of the heroes. Then, a mysterious green glow covered them.
