Chapter 23: The Final Battle.
A few days later, in Washington D.C, a huge crowd of Super fans were gathered outside the White House as the President walked up to the podium and said into the microphone, "Everyone, a few days ago, a madman attempted to end us all by causing a collision of Earth with a space station of massive proportions. However, thanks to eight champions, crisis has been averted. The champions are a rare kind, champions of peace, those who strive to protect our world no matter the cost. Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow Americans, I am proud to give you The Incredibles, Frozone and three agents of the National Supers Agency, Rick Dicker, Mirage and Edna Mode!" The crowd erupted in loud cheers as the heroes walked on stage with big smiles waving at the crowd.
After receiving medals of heroism and a speech from Rick Dicker about how big a help everyone had been, they all took questions from news reporters. When Mr. Incredible said his kids' bond was the real big contributor to Xerek's defeat, the reporters turned to Ms. Stealth and Speed Demon for answers.
"How was your bond helpful in defeating Xerek?" a red-head female reporter asked.
Ms. Stealth and Speed Demon smiled at each other before they took microphones from two other reporters and Speed Demon spoke into one, "Let us explain how it all started. All those months ago, when the Omnidroid attacked Metroville, when my family made our debut as The Incredibles, my sister got knocked unconscious while trying to protect me. It scared me to death. We used to fight a lot and, had she died, I would have never forgiven myself for everything. I was so happy when she woke, that after we beat the robot, I hugged her tightly, not caring if anyone saw. Then, two days later, after we beat Syndrome and found a new house, I had a nightmare where she died and it scared me even more. I thought that if she died, like I said before, I would never be able to take back all the times I was awful to her, so I decided to bond with her in the time I had, which is why I asked her if we could bond more together and not fight anymore."
Miss Stealth then spoke, "That's why I said yes and I promised him our bond would only grow stronger and that we would never fight again. Ever since then, we've hung out together and gone to places like an amusement park, the beach and everywhere else. I also have reason to believe that our bond granted us unnatural abilities, for example, when I was shot by someone and killed, I believe Speed Demon's tears actually resurrected me. Another reason I agreed to bond with him was because he protected me from one of Syndrome's henchmen who was about to shoot me. I was so grateful and proud of him that I had to repay the debt. Our strong bond is what gave us the ultimate strength and power that we needed to defeat Xerek and save the world. Neither of us would change our bond for the world." She and her brother then looked at each other and smiled with tears pouring out of their eyes.
"I'm proud of you, Speed Demon/Miss Stealth, you're the greatest brother/sister I could ever ask for. I will always love you and I'm proud to be your sister/brother. I swear this, if I have to, I will lay down my life for you, because that's how much I love you." they both said at the same time before they gave each other a tight hug before sharing a fist bump, drawing an "Aw" as well as tears and applause from the crowd and their friends and families and the President as well as people watching all over the world. However, just as the two were parting, someone fired a gun and shot Speed Demon in the shoulder, drawing screams from the crowd and gasps from his family. The young Super clutched his arm while crying in pain. Miss Stealth quickly kneeled down and hugged him, trying to comfort and shush him at the same time.
"You Incredibles don't deserve fame after everything that you've caused to go wrong in my life." said a familiar voice. Everyone looked and they saw none other than Derek, holding a pistol with an evil smirk on his face while snickering.
"Does that little loser have to ruin everything?!" asked Elastigirl while everyone glared at him.
"How'd you get out of your cell?" Rick asked.
"I tricked one of the guards into letting me out so I could escape and now I'm gonna reveal the Incredbles' secret identities to the world." Derek said before he got stuff thrown at him by everybody.
"How dare you attack our heroes?!" shouted a kid.
"We don't wanna know their identities, you little brat!" shouted a woman.
When Derek recovered, he looked at everyone with a furious face. "FINE THEN, I'LL OBLITERATE YOU ALL!" he yelled in fury before he pressed a remote and a robot that was green and looked exactly like the Egg-Nega Wisp from Sonic Colors appeared.
"I've had enough! Who do you think you are, anyway?!" Miss Stealth asked as she growled at him with gritted teeth.
"I'm just the kid who's gonna end the Incredibles. There are better Supers out there than you. This baby should finish the job handily. Built it in my dad's garage and even made it so it would use attacks like the original Egg-Nega Wisp." Derek said as he hopped into the cockpit.
"Speed Demon, I think we need our new power for this. You ready?" asked Miss Stealth.
Speed Demon instantly stopped crying and looked at his sister with a determined smile, "Let's do it, sis!" he said with a thumbs-up.
Miss Stealth then walked to the podium and asked into the microphone, "Does everyone wanna see how we beat Xerek?" The crowd cheered in excitement.
"All right then!" said Miss Stealth before she held out her fist to Speed Demon and he bumped fists with her. They were both covered by a rainbow glow before everyone noticed a neon green light in the corner of the ball of light. When it cleared, Shadow was standing where the two kids that make her up would be and she had her hand over her shoulder. When she moved it, the gunshot wound was gone, signifying that the green glow was her healing herself.
She turned to the baffled crowd, raised her hand with a smile and said, "Hi, the name's Shadow. Nice to meet ya." with a wink. The crowd stared in shock before they let out a deafening cheer.
Shadow then frowned and jumped in front of the robot, "As for you…" she said as she pointed at Derek, who had a jaw that had dropped to the floor.
Derek then recovered from his shock and laughed, "A Super Fusion?! Even that can't defeat this robot!" he said as he pushed a button that made the robot open it's mouth and roar at Shadow before he quickly backed it up with a voice saying, "FRENZY!" before he lifted it's claws up as Shadow gave chase and the voice said, "CUBE!"
The robot shot multiple shots from it's claws before they came down as green cubes that were scattered in a random pattern that Shadow managed to dodge. Shadow then caught up to the robot and jumped off it's claw before kick-jumping her way to the cockpit, where Derek was protected by a glass dome. Shadow gave a harsh kick to the dome, knocking the robot back before she used her Incredi-Ball to ram into it for extra damage.
The robot then recovered. Derek had it face upwards and the voice said, "SPIKES!" The robot then shot from it's mouth a ball that split into three spiked balls that Shadow had to jump over with a second row narrowly missing her. Shadow then caught up again and repeated her attack.
Once the robot recovered, the voice said, "HOVER!" before it floated up into the air and the voice said, "ROCKET!" It's claws then launched at Shadow only for her to kick them back to hit the glass dome, cracking it a tiny bit and bringing it back down.
Derek then pressed a button so that the robot held it's claws open to reveal two drills. "DRILL!" said the voice as the drills started spinning. "LASER!" the voice said as the drills were shot out by a cyan laser beam that Shadow managed to deflect back at the glass dome, leaving a large broken glass spider web.
"BURST!" said the voice again as the robot spat out a small fireball that Shadow leaped away from before it exploded.
"VOID!" the voice shouted one last time as it opened it's claw and materialized a purple void that Shadow avoided using her super speed before she leapt up and kicked the glass dome again, cracking it completely and causing the robot to start sparking.
"You…You, You, YOU… You horrid little runt!" shouted Derek as Shadow powered up with a rainbow aura surrounding her.
"FINAL FURY!" she yelled before she jumped and punched the glass dome with a loud, "RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!" shattering it and sending the robot flying before it started tumbling and it's eyes dimmed before going black, signifying it had lost all power.
Derek, who had been made dizzy by the attack, said, "Oh, man, what happened?" before he saw Shadow running towards him.
"S-Stay baack!" he yelled in fear as Shadow hopped on the robot before she grabbed him by the throat and threw him across the sidewalk pavement, giving him a nasty scrape across his face that went over his mouth from under his nose. When Derek saw his face in a reflection, he screamed in terror before he looked at Shadow with fury.
"You ruined my beautiful face!" he yelled angrily as he ran at Shadow and attempted to punch her, only for Shadow to lean out of the way and punch the back of his head, sending him to the ground. Derek furiously shot back up and started a fist fight that Shadow won easily by throwing him across the pavement again, making his face look worse. By now, Derek had a bleeding lip with a cut on his forehead and his face's condition had grown worse. It was bruised and bloody in many spots and his scrape had grown worse. It now went from his nose to his chin and was bleeding.
When Derek saw his reflection again, he wailed in terror and yelled at Shadow, "My perfect face is ruined! NOW MY GIRLFRIEND WILL NEVER LOVE ME AGAIN!"
Shadow just smirked at him, "You sure it's perfect? It looked pretty ugly even before that. I doubt that your girlfriend would love you regardless of what your face looked like anyway. Know why? Because you are nothing but a low-life, irresponsible, bullying rotten corpse of a LOSER." she said.
Now Derek had grown beyond furious, "THAT DOES IT! I'LL VAPORIZE YOU WITH THE CANNON!" Derek yelled before pushed a button on a remote and the robot opened it's mouth while charging the cannon before it suddenly sparked and the robot exploded.
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" Derek shouted in disbelief before he pounded the ground with his fists, "IT'S BACKFIRING! IMPOSSIBLE! HOW?!" He then banged his head on the ground as Shadow walked over to him, shaking her head in disgust before she kicked the back of his head, knocking him out.
"You are sad, man." she said as the crowd cheered loudly behind her.
