Chapter 19: Opportunity
It might have been fast, but four months have passed since the Parr family have had their jobs terminated. Each person took the event rather seriously ever since.
Bob went to work as a construction worker. This kind of work was easy for Bob, thanks to his super strength. But without the thrill, exhilaration and danger of being kidnaped, hurt, or killed by a death ray, he found his work incredibly boring.
Helen was still a kind and caring mom. She continued to care for Jack-Jack and her family. Even though she can easily adapt to situations, she couldn’t help but miss crime fighting and hero work.
Dash was in great distress. During his track meets or races, in which he would usually win first or second place, started placing third or lower. He even refused to use his powers during races, or pull pranks on Mr. Kropp, Dash’s least favorite teacher.
Violet wasn’t affected by this as much. She could live with not having to do hero work anymore. She started to go out with Tony more often. It felt relaxing for her to spend a night with the boy she loves instead of canceling her date because some psycho threatens to destroy the city. Still, even with more freedom, she found her life was a little bit uninteresting. She missed all of the energy and excitement of saving lives. Who can be Tony’s favorite hero now if Invisigirl is no more?
//////////\
Summer had finally come. Many exciting things have happened to the Parr family. For example, Violet had just finished Middle School. This coming fall, she is going to be a freshman at Metroville High School.
Dash wasn’t finished with Elementary School. He was going to move to the fifth grade. He was certainly glad that he was moving up a grade because he didn’t have to deal with Mr. Kropp anymore.
Nothing changed much for Helen and Jack-Jack. Bob, aside from gaining a couple pounds, hardly changed at all.
Two days of the Parr’s summer vacation had passed. One day, Violet decided to go take a little walk, just to get some fresh air and some exercise. She just passed by a park. A smile wass put on her face as she observed small children play in the sand, swing on the swing sets, and slide down the slides.
“A wonderful view, isn’t it?” said a voice behind her.
Violet turned around to see a middle aged man standing in front of her. He was taller than Violet with an egg shaped head. He wasn’t muscular like her father, nor was he out of shape. This man had a boyish, nerdy face. The most noticeable feature this man had was his very unique hair. One might think that electricity was surging through his body, making his hair stand on end.
“SYNDROME!” She yelled.
“SSSSSHHHHHHHHH!” went he.
People all over the park stared at Violet. She blushed with embarrassment. People resumed their activities as Vi’s blush began to fade away.
“Hey, I may not be your most favorite person to meet," he said, "but I’m not wearing my mask. I’m Buddy Pine now. I have to keep a low profile too you know.”
Violet continued to glare at Buddy. “What do you want. Haven’t you caused enough problems for me and my family already?”
Buddy grinned. “Oh a sweet, pretty girl like you shouldn’t be so angry.” Buddy placed his hand on Vi’s face. He gently began to softly touch the teenager’s long dark hair.
Violet abruptly slapped his hand away. “Don’t touch me okay?” She glared at him. “Just leave me alone.”
Violet began to storm off. Buddy just crossed his arms. “Hey, maybe I can help you with all of your troubles!” he called.
Violet pouted, “I think I have enough already!”
“I meant, I can help you with your powers!” he said.
Violet stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around until she was facing Buddy Pine. She found herself walking to him. Buddy smiled as Violet was now a foot away from him.
“You can do that?” wondered Violet inquisitively.
Syndrome nodded. “Would you like me to?”
Violet turned around and pondered her options. She could refuse the offer and stay as a Super. She would keep the one thing that has been specially and genetically bonded with her since birth, her powers. However, she would be stuck with this curse forever. And if some chance she and her family resume hero work again, there goes her freedom with Tony.
The other option was accept this offer from a former enemy who just put her family out of commission. Her parents would be really upset when they find out Violet had lost her powers. But she wondered. “Isn’t all of this trouble worth being a normal girl? I can finally have that life I always wanted.”
“No, no. I can’t. Thanks, but I just can’t.” She answered.
Buddy sighed. “Is that what you really want?” Vi looked at the ground. She finally got herself to nod her head, reluctantly. “Okay,” said Buddy, “suit yourself.”
He turned around and started to walk away. Suddenly, Violet called back to him.
“Wait. . . just give me a couple more minutes.”
Violet took this time to think. This was hard for her to do because she did not want to face the wrath of her parents, should she accept Buddy’s offer. But she really wanted to be normal?
Finally, Violet sighed looked at Buddy. “Okay, show me how.”
Buddy grinned. He went behind a tree. When he returned, he was in his Super Suit. Syndrome grabbed Violet and flew away. He flew over the Pacific Ocean.
“Where are we going?” asked Vi.
“You’ll see!”
About twenty minutes later, Violet started to feel very uncomfortable. She couldn’t stand the uncomfortable grasp Syndrome had on her.
“Can you please make this ride a little more fast or more comfortable?”
Syndrome sighed. “Okay, you asked for it.”
Syndrome started to accelerate. Faster, faster, and faster he went. Soon, he was flying at the speed of sound. As he flew on toward his destination, Violet felt like her skin was going to rip off of her face. One minute later, Syndrome finally arrived at Nomanisan Island. He landed on the sand and set the trembling Violet down.
“I’ll give you a minute.”
Violet slowly started to regain her composure. It took her about five minutes to recover. An impatient Syndrome just paced along the sand. Violet finally stood up on her feet. She followed Syndrome into the depths of Nomanisan Island.
“How long?” Violet asked after walking for hours.
“It’s a big jungle little girl. Just a couple more minutes.”
“My feet are killing me!”
Syndrome stopped. “Okay, we’re here. Happy now?”
The two stood in front of a huge cave. Violet remembered. This was the same cave that she investigated on her first special mission. Both she and Syndrome walked inside. The young Super gazed at the numerous amount of glowing computers and monitors. She also revisited all of the capsules that were occupied by Supers of the past.
“I’m curious. Exactly what are these Super’s doing in here anyways?” Violet asked.
“It is confidential material. I can’t tell you and you must swear on your life that you will never tell anyone what you’ve seen in here.” Syndrome demanded purposefully.
Violet decided not to argue. Within moments, Syndrome brought in a huge plasma gun. Violet froze in fear.
“W . . . w . . . what is that?” she frightfully asked.
“It is called the Super Power Absorber Plasma Ray.” he explained. “All this baby does is shoot a completely harmless beam. The beam absorbs your powers. The power is then converted into a liquid substance, which is then transferred into these two glass containers.” He pointed at two clear containers.
“It won’t hurt right?”
“No, not a bit.”
“Buddy . . .” Violet said before the gun was fired. “. . . thank you.”
She stood completely still as Syndrome charged up his gun. When it was at full power, he shot a bright, white beam at the teenager. Violet did not feel any pain, but as the beam continued to absorb her powers, she began to feel lightheaded and weak. Soon, Syndrome stopped firing the plasma gun. Violet fainted on the spot.
A purple substance filled the glass containers. Syndrome grabbed it and poured the liquid into a large syringe.
“No Invisigirl. Thank you.” laughed Syndrome. His loud guffaw was heard throughout the island.
The plot thickens…
