"Anna? Are you alright?"
Dott is seen towering over her.
Anna – Yes... wait why are you so tall?
Dott was as small as her hand last time they met.
Now she's Anna's own average size.
Dott - I grew up and I love it! I also ate some super food... and look where we are!
Anna looked around to see a night sky above.
And then in one direction a gigantic tree in a distance.
The same one she saw previously.
She walked towards it before Dott stopped her.
Dott – Wow look where you step before you leap!
Anna looks below to see a deep chasm.
Anna stood back before looking at the tree island floating.
Anna – Wow so that's how your Ant Isle looks like? But where does it come from?
Anna tries looking down at the root... but it appears distant in the dark.
Anna – I don't wanna go there.
Dott – It is very late now when it's night so...
Dott shows off her new wings to Anna
Anna gasps
Anna – You have wings!
Dott – Yeah and that's how we'll get over there!
She then notices fireflies hovering around the tree and her fellow ants within tree structure.
Dott – C'mon we should head back before my sister notices! Safer there than on this rock too.
Anna looks at how far tree was from them.
Anna – Yeah better there! I wanna fly!
Anna then tries hopping on Dott but she had other ideas.
Dott – Anna, I won't fly if you sit on my wings. I may drop you so...
Dott then grabs Anna from behind, carrying her in her arms and flied up towards the tree.
Anna managed to touch a few clouds on thr way to the tree.
Anna – Wow so this is how it feels to be a bird!
Anna inspects the tree in wonder
Anna – Dott can you hear me?!
Dott – Anna why are you screaming?!
Anna – Sorry, I wanna ask. Where does this tree come from?
Dott didn't think about that often but she quickly answered.
Dott – Mmm well, my sister and mother say it came out of a small tree in the soil, raised by someone named Walls Wolly, and Evea... now Anna , I also wanna ask... where do humans come from?
Anna now remembers what her own parents told her.
"There was someone at the very start of everything. He made us, animals, birds and all who lived in the worlds..."
They were getting close to the tree branches. But so close yet so far as they say.
"...They say he was the Lord of Love and Light"
Strangely something in the sky lights up in the sky and brightens the environment around them.
With light hitting her sight, Dott's caught by surprise as Anna slips from her grip.
Anna is sent flying down below.
Screaming loudly in terror, Anna is seem tumbling into chasm much to Dott's horror.
Dott – ANNAAAAAA!
...
...
"Anna! Anna! C'mon, enough daydreaming"
Anna woke up, startled at Val's voice.
Anna looked around to see she was at MIFTIES, sighting in relief as she hugged Val's leg.
Val hugged back, concerned.
Val – There, there. Was it a bad dream?
Anna rubs off the tears.
Anna – It was fun but then it was scary. I don't wanna be a bird anymore.
Val didn't really understood the last part but nevertheless tried to comfort her.
Val – Now , now my dear. It was just a dream. No bird will harm you here in real life.
Val then asked her.
"Look up at me for a moment"
Anna sobs but lifts her head to see her eyes.
"It's normal to be afraid. But doing something anyways. That's what hero is. Who's our little hero here!"
Val pats Anna's head
Anna – Me!
Val – That's my girl!
barks heard*
Rotto scared Anna who jumped up in surprise on Val's face.
Val – Hey, hey, careful! Careful!
Rotto then runs to Duncan who laughs at Val stumbling.
Duncan – Hah yeah right, how's our hero doing now?
Anna shouts "Bad Dunc! Bad! Bad!"
Rotto growled at her.
This time, Anna did too.
The two trade noises for a while, earning Cutter's annoyance.
Cutter – Now both of you cut it out before I do.
Val then places Anna on the couch.
Val – Okay Anna, how about we go to some other place?
Anna – Really, where?
Duncan – Anywhere but here-
Val – Ahem, as I was saying. Go suit up we're visiting Tyler's parents at his home.
...
...
Later
Her and Val were outside buying cake and fruits at some grocery store of octopus Tony.
Val thought it's better than leaving her with Duncan or baby Smitty, Roz's grandkid gives her the creeps for some reason.
And after that, they gone to Tyler's home.
Anna expected she'd have someone to play with but now her only company was Tyler's granny.
She was huge, looked like a frog with horns... and three eyed glasses.
Virginia Tuskmon - You sure have a lot of energy
Anna looked around new environments, not waiting to return to Monster Dungeon.
Crawling up on the table and jumping up and down on couch before walking up to the windows.
Looking outside she could see entire building blocs.
And citizens living in them , coming out onto the streets.
She was then picked up, away from the window.
Millie – Ah, ah, ah. No. That area is off limits to children.
Virginia- Well, can't say she alone gets that idea. I could remember how I gave it a try before.
Bernard – Sure, does your back hurt anymore?
Virginia rolls her eyes.
Millie then seats Anna on the couch again.
Millie – Remind me your name?
Anna – Anna Oldie!
Millie – Anna then. Honestly I didn't know Tyler had a student. Already my boy has something to teach. How is he at work?
Anna – He was scary, and weird, and mean and funny. Blue bull is funny!
Virginia – Heh, he's your son indeed, Bernard
Barnard – And your grandson, truly.
Millie sighs
Millie – Tyler left you in our care for today so what would you like to do?
Anna – I wanna play! I wanna go outside!
Her costume makes it difficult.
Virginia - Now she's speaking my language!
Bernard – Great as if we needed TWO of you.
Millie – Hmm fine IF by time me and Bernard will be back from Tuskmon Hardware, you'll eat all of this.
She brings bunch of pancakes to her.
They had fruits on it that they bought at Tony's store.
"You can come down once this is all finished"
Anna then stood up
"I'll show you, you'll see!"
Millie claps, encouraging her before walking off with Bernard who looked skeptical.
Bernard – Not that I believe you but will you really?
Millie – By time she's done, Tyler will be back soon.
Virginia – Good plan. Besides she may run off if allowed outside.
The trio gone downstairs so Anna won't leave without their notice.
Contrary to their belief, Anna heard everything.
And even if she wanted to eat the pancakes, the suit was making it difficult.
She unzipped it to see clearly.
Anna – "Please eat this", "Don't run far"...what do children like me do here to have fun?
She's reminded of Gerda and Olivia as she looked at the pancakes.
She picks them up and inagubes them in those pancakes.
Olivia – "Anna, shower isn't that bad"
Gerda "Time to go to bed young princess"
Olivia "Beware beasts in the trees! Ooooh"
Gerda "Sorry no guests today either!"
Anna then wonders on what the children here would think if her. Some could be friends but...
"Would they think I'm scary?"
Blue T's horns reminded her of a reindeer, made her think about something.
If animals could speak and walk, would they be angry at us?
Or afraid?
She heard stories where hunters gone after wildlife... Mama didnt like those stories, nor did Elsa...
Anna thinks '...Elsa...'
Anna – Elsa... No no no. No, it can't be sad all times. If only I had someone to play. I want...??
Anna then sees something shining through the window...
Anna ran up to them, only to see something like a lightning bolt?
But there were no clouds.
Anna – Wow, shiny lights!
Anna tries finding an opening in the glasses.
She then saw no more lightning but a bright ball jumping up and down on the roof until she saw it coming down to the streets.
There was no shiny ball now... but a boy?
Not local-like! But like her!
Anna gasps "Another me!"
That child looked small, with red suit and a weird yellow hair.
He then appears to have noticed her.
She waves her hands or tentacles at him.
She thought he may not hear her from afar...
Monsters passing by freak out, running away but then a car was driving towards the boy only for I to fly over him.
She isn't not sure what those things are or how do they fly like that but she's glad he is okay.
Anna – Over here!
The next thing she knew, he just disappeared.
And then, she finds herself rolling on the ground with that same boy holding her too.
Anna – Hahaha! How??
Anna now sees the boy inside the room with her.
"Abi doo goo hebe wa pa!"
Anna – Uhm what did you say??
He then picked her up, flying up in the air much to her surprise.
Anna – Wooow!
Then he began to shake her like a doll.
Anna – Wawawa waaaiiit!"
He did put her down before then going to the couch, eating all the pancakes that she left.
And then...
The boy multiplied into the Boyz, there were now 4 or 5 of them eating those cakes!
Anna – What!? Are you magical?!
They then picked her up and threw her up multiple times, possibly cheering for her?
Anna – Hahahahahaha now this is spooky but funny!
The boys kept doing that until they began bumping into each other from someone calling them.
"JACK JACK? JACK JACK! WHERE HAVE YOU GONE TO THIS TIME!?"
The boys then look elsewhere in unison before they were disappearing
Anna yelped as she felt something trembling her and she could only see nothing but the lights around her.
She then opened her eyes, a bit dizzy.
For some reason, she fell asleep.
'In her wateeeers,
Deep and truuueee...
Lies the answeeer,
And a path for yooouuu...
Dive down deep into her sound,
But not too far or you'll be drowned'
Her mother's voice could be heard
Anna – Mama...mama...
"Poor thing, where did Jack Jack even found her?"
Unfamiliar voices then filled her ears as her eyes seen new people.
There was that that blonde fly baby in arms of an adult woman.
She had a short, brown hair.
Then there was another boy, more of her own size, also with blonde bit bigger hair.
"Why are you wearing this Halloween costume? Woth all that paper and plastic?"
Anna backs away a little , a bit confused.
She then noticed her mask was removed but then she bumps into someone new again.
She looks up to see a large man.
Her father's size but also Sally's weight.
"He-hey little fella. Easy, I'm not gonna hurt you"
And besides him, there was a girl now.
A bit shorter than the other woman. With dark, blue hair.
"Dad, she may not be listening... who knows what Jack Jack did before bringing her here?"
Jack Jack then threw a kid toy at her.
"Bob, where were you looking?"
Bob – Don't look at me. A bunch of thugs just barged into the market I was at. Can you imagine one of them brought up a knife to officer's gun? Shows guts. Then there's a bank heist near-... wait where did she go?
It was getting freaky for Anna, who now again finds herself in an uncharted turf.
"Now I know how adventurers felt at new places!"
Anna ran off into the backyard, where she could see wide open world... forests around her, and a few homes among then... it was like on a windmill hill, back home.
Jack Jack then appears before her but then takes her to fly again over the house, with her screaming.
Helen – Oh no none! Bring her down! Put her down Jack Jack!
Dash – Heh I think he took a liking to her, he thinks she's a play doll!
Dash laughed
Violett tries stopping JJ with her telekinesis.
But he's rather fast.
Anna now knows how it's like for a bird.
Unlike her dream, here she feels the wind blowing in her face. It felt real.
And so do the heights now.
Anna weeps "WAAAAAH!"
Bob – Oh boy, she's scared!
Helen took it upon herself
Helen – Jack Jack Parr! Down to me! Now!
JJ heard her certainly as he then appears in front of her.
With Anna running to Helen, hugging her legs.
With her hand on Anna's head, Helen tries to comfort her.
Helen – Good boy. Now...
Helen them took Anna up in her arms, taking her inside the compound.
Again back on the couch she is.
The atmosphere was uncomfortable for Helen and Bob, weird for Violett and Dash. For JJ? He's now trying to eat food he was given.
Helen – Little girl, I'm sorry if Jack Jack frightened you. He can be energetic...
Anna looked up a bit, giving Helen a small glance.
Helen – Hi, I don't think we've introduced ourselves. I'm Helen, you already know Jack Jack eating over there.
JJ while eating "Agi boo puka buki wa"
Helen – This is my husband Bob.
Anna giggles to Bob's surprise "Bob, boobadibob booobob you have a funny name"
Dash agreed
Dash – Well if you put it like that.
Dash runs up on couch, speedily.
Dash – Feeling better now?
Anna was about to fall off the couch into nearly water pool but then was swiftly put back by Dash.
Anna – Aaah... how... how are doing this?! Are you magic? You're wizards!
They looked at each other, some with amusement and some dumbfounded.
Bob – Hehehe no, no, not magic sorry BUT in your defense, many of us thought of that when we were kids. Right Helen?
Helen – In old days. Now that speedster over there is Dash, our son. JJ's older brother... He also has lots of energy.
Dash – Hate to brag, but with magic pow-I mean super powers! I can complete daily jobs in just hours.
Violett – Which begs a question. Why you're not even working at all, slacker?
Dash – Pfft, sleepyhead. Your turn.
Violett – I'll do it mom.
Violett pats Anna "I'm Violett. You can call me Vi. My powers... well, I can hide easily anywhere"
Anna – No!
Violett nearly jumped.
Anna – I don't want to play hide and seek... this game isn't as fun anymore.
Viola could see she was saddened.
Her parents too, so they finally ask.
Bob – Uhm, kid can you name yourself and your parents? So we can return you to them?
Anna – Anna. I'm Anna. But I don't know where they are anymore...
Dash could've believed that but Violett wasn't so convinced.
Neither were her parents who started to assume the worst.
Judging by her suit which looked quite torn and old, she's either really poor or worse, an orphan.
Crime rate is still high these days, ranging from murder to looting to arson.
Her parents may have left this world already.
Then again, they don't know.
So there's hope for best.
An oblivious Dash isn't helping this time.
Dash – Anna just between the two of us, do you have any super in family? Like with powers?
At that, Anna felt weird. Something in her head hurt.
Anna – No, I don't have any... my parents don't... and my sister...?
Her hair locks grew visibly white for some reason, which didn't escape Violett's sight.
Violett – Uhm are you sure? Your hair says otherwise. That's not normal.
Anna found it hard to hear given her newfound headache.
Anna coughs now
Helen tries to check her head temperature.
Helen – Oh my, she's cold. Hold on, I'll make a quick tea!
Violett then picks up Anna and outs her on her lap, trying to comfort her.
She's not good at that yet but dad's on the phone, mom's in the kitchen aninstead can't entrust her to Dash or JJ, definitely not.
Dash – Hey she didn't really answer.
Violett – I'll ask later, you should go to Jack Jack, ensure he won't leave us hanging again.
Dash - *sighs* "keep him amused but quiet". Got it.
Violett tries patting again, but this time she felt the cold. It felt strange really to have some kid like this in her arms.
Violett – If this is how it'll be when I'm my mom's age, then it's rather cool than warm.
While Violett thought of the future, Anna thought of the past as this pose reminded her of Iduna.
"Mom... Mom..."
Violett – Uhm, that's... cute yeah.
Helen – HHEREAFTER nice warm cup. This should make it easy.
Anna coughs before sipping.
Violett – Okay, you know what? Gimme that. Here I'll hold a cup, you'll drink. C'mon.
That Anna did. The tea helped her throat.
The cup was emptied but her heat is still here, although it's smaller.
Helen – As I thought, need to keep her warn for a day or two.
Violett – Well, what else can we do?
Helen tries thinking of something before Bob comes back
"Uh guys, turn on the TV"
Helen dies that to see newscaster reporting the re-emergence of the Underminer on a brutal rampage. With giant clay golems, robots, earthworms and and even some human miners at his command.
Bob – I just talked to Dicker, he says Xerek is at it here.
Helen didn't like remembering that person.
Helen – We-well, he'll wish he wasn't when we're done with him.
Bob and Helen gone to suit up.
Violett – Mom, don't tell me-
Helen – Not coming.
Bob – I told Dicker about Anna. He said he'll call the appropriate agencies to pick her up. Just keep an eye on her until then and join up if we'll leave anything.
Violett – Ha,ha. Babysitting again... fine, can't leave her alone on her own.
Helen – Good. Take this as a lesson, imagine yourself in my place for a while.
Looking at the picture of her old friend Snug on the table, she thinks 'This is for her own good'
With the two exiting the building, Violett was left to ponder on that.
The way she sees her parents, they are stuck at work at times, at times with fighting Criminals, at times looking after them... after seeing dad's outburst during mom's during she now realises... they have less time for themselves.
So she wonders, that may not have much time for herself neither one day.
"I used to know what the right thing was but not anymore... so he said"
She looks at Anna "Enjoy your childhood. Something tells me it won't last long.
That was a bad idea to remind Anna as her hair locks pale further.
Hugging her, Violett felt the cold on herself.
Concerned, she runs off to get a sheet for Anna.
Something strange happens as Anna felt someone knew picking her up and taking her somewhere
"Target secured as you've ordered. The elders left the area. I'll be gone before the children will even notice. Activate the door"
Anna looked weakly, only to see... a Giraffe??
He was quietly making his way upstairs.
Dash – Hey where is everybody? Off on the mission without me... again huh.
Viola then returns with sheets.
Violett – Wait where's Anna?!
Dash – I don't know. Jack Jack fell asleep and you... what's that noise?
Dash then quickly goes upstairs, stopping at Jack Jack's room.
He tries to open up and as he breaks in, he feels motionless.
This energy beam he's engulfed in, only Syndrome had that sorta tech.
"You kids just have to make it difficult. Why is it not open already?!"
A giraffe looking individual in a business suit then held him up in air before kicking him in the wall and then at the door where Violett was at, knocking her away.
The door closet then started making noises again.
Giraffe agent " Cmon, cmon... AHA!"
The door was opening the path to the base... but something went wrong.
It then began to malfunction.
Giraffe agent "WHAT?! NO NO NO! C'MON GET IT UNDER CONTROL!
He yells in his phone.
Distracted, he didn't notice Violett using her shields to pull Anna sway from his hold much to his shock.
Giraffe agents " Hey! Come back here!"
Giraffe uses his long neck to catch Anna with hid teeth by her suit only for Vee to blast his head against the walls.
He lost hold of Syndrome's beam so Dash got freed.
Dash breathes heavily "A Giraffe!? A real giraffe man!?"
Violett – I see that! Get Anna-
Then a beam of light shines the room from the street, door even further far through the windows
With neighbours seeing it too.
Dash – Hey tone down the lights!
His voice isn't heard by any, including Anna ehi heard a very different voice from the lights.
'...Anna... Anna... I know you hear me...'
Anna slowly looks up to the light.
Anna pulled herself up, walking towards it... not knowing she wasn't alone in the room until she did.
And just like that , she was gone from their sight.
...
Helen – And... wait. She just disappeared?
Vee – Yeah and we can't find her anywhere. Who knows where she was taken to?
Dash – And we couldn't even keep that giraffe?
Bob – I'm more interested on Dicker's reaction. I told him what happened and when I mentioned this giraffe, he got quite tense.
Helen – Think he knew?
Bob – Hope he didn't but then again, he's not at the top of establishment.
Helen – Then let's just hope we don't get into another mess. Xerek for now is enough.
Helen then approached Vee
"You think she okay?..."
Helen – I wish I knew Vi. We can only pray.
...
...
Anna found herself hearing Tyler's voice.
"Anna! Anna!"
Anna didn't feel any heat now, or at least her head doesn't squeeze.
She could see Tyler now but it still was a bit dark around them.
Tyler – What were you doing on the Laugh Floor?! Val's looking for you!
Anna then hugged Tyler sighs
Tyler – Okay, another time... for now let's get you back to her"
...
...
Heard Incredibles 3 is coming soon. Of course, it will add new things to The Pixar Theory. We shall wait and see.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE!
