《The Incredibles》Chapter 8: Syndrome

——————————🦸🏼♂️——————————
Mr. Incredible was back in the jet in his new suit, which was now red instead of blue, and he was enjoying shrimp when a computer voice came on.
"This is your automated Captain. Would you care for more mimosa?" It asked
"Don't mind if I do. Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Mr. Incredible got another mimosa and the jet started tilting downward.
"Currently 78 degrees in Nomanisan. Perfect weather for flying. Please fasten your seatbelt. We are behinning to descend."
The jet lowered to the water and dove underneath it and entered an underwater cave where the water was drained out of the room and a tube was connected to the entrance.
The jet door opened to reveal Mirage sitting inside a pod.
"Hello, Mr. Incredible. Nice suit." She commented.
"Thanks. Nice to be back Mirage."
The doors closed and the two sped off in the pod that weaved through the jungle and towards a waterfall that opened up to reveal an elevator sort of thing.
It lifted the pod up and Mr. Incredible was shown to his new room.
"You'll be briefed on your assignment in the conference room at 2:00. D-Wing, room A-113."
"2:00. Got it."
"See you there."
The elevator doors closed and Mirage left, leaving Mr. Incredible in his room.
...
Helen was vacuuming when she noticed there was a lot of debris outside of and in Bob's office. She entered the room and kept vacuuming when she noticed that Bob's old suit had a tear that had recently been stitched.
"Edna."
...
"I'd like to speak to Edna please." Helen said into the phone.
"This is Edna."
"E? This is Helen."
"Helen who?"
"Helen Parr? You know..."
Helen sighed before speaking into the phone again.
"Elastigirl?"

"DARLING!!!"
Helen jumped fumbled with the phone as she nearly dropped it.
"It's been such a long time after all these years! So long!"
"Yes, yes, yes. It's been a while. Listen, there's only one person Bob would trust to patch his super-suit and that's you, E."
...
"Yes, yes, yes. Marvelous isn't it? Much better than those horrible pajamas he used to wear."
"Huh?"
"They're all finished. When are you coming to see?"
"Look, I'm calling about..."
"Don't make me beg, darling. I won't do it, you know."
...
"Beg? Uh, no. I'm calling about...suit...Bob's suit! I'm calling about Bob's suit!" Helen raged.
...
"You come in one hour darling. I insist, okay? Okay. Goodbye." Edna said, hanging up the phone.
...
Mr. Incredible walked down the hall and entered the conference room only to find no one there. He looked up at the clock and saw that it was 2:00, so he sat down in one of the chairs and waited.
Suddenly, one of the walls of the conference room burst open and the Omnidroid appeared. Except this time, it was bigger, had six legs instead of five, and had a red eye instead of a blue one.
Mr. Incredible tried to run, but the robot grabbed him and threw him outside and into a giant rock.
"It's bigger!"
The bot picked him up and threw him again.
"It's badder."
And again.
"Ladies and gentlemen it's too much for Mr. Incredible!"
The robot held him again and another two of its hands spun like fans and were about to slice through Mr. Incredible's neck.
"Woah! Woah! It's finally ready!"
A man flew on top of the robot with his rocket boot. He had a black super suit with white boots and gloves and a giant white 'S' on it. He also wore a black mask and a cape and his red hair was sticking up.

"You know, I went through quite a few supers to get it ready to fight you, but, man, it wasn't good enough!"
The man pressed a button on a remote he had around his wrist and the blades stopped spinning.
"After you trashed the last one, I had to make some major modifications. Sure, it was difficult, but you are worth it. I mean, after all...I am your biggest fan."
"Buddy?" Mr. Incredible gasped.
"My name is not Buddy!" He pressed another button and the robot threw Mr. Incredible to the ground.
"And it's not IncrediBoy either! That ship has sailed." Buddy landed on the ground and stalked towards Mr. Incredible.
"All I wanted was to help you. I only wanted to help! And what did you say to me?"
...
(Flashback)
"Fly home, Buddy. I work alone."
The younger version of Buddy looked at his Mr. Incredible poster and flung it off the wall in rage.
...
"Especially your heroes."
"I was wrong to treat you that way. I'm sorry." Mr. Incredible apologized.
"See? Now you respect me, because I'm a threat. That's the way it works. Turns out there's a lot of people, whole countries who want respect."
Mr. Incredible glanced over and noticed a log sitting near him, and slowly began inching towards it.
"And they will pay through the nose to get it. How do you think I got rich? I invented weapons. Now I have a weapon only I can defeat. And when I unleash it, I'll get..."
He was cut off by Mr. Incredible throwing the log at him. Buddy ducked and as Mr. Incredible rushed at him, he used another device to freeze him in place.
Buddy laughed. "You sly dog! You got me monologuing. I can't believe it."
He spun around and tossed Mr. Incredible into a rock.
"It's cool, huh? Zero point energy. I save the best inventions for myself."
Buddy used the zero point energy to toss Mr. Incredible into the air and slam him back onto the ground.
"Am I good enough now?"
He tossed him again.
"Who's super now?"
"I'm Syndrome! Your nemesis and..."
Syndrome accidentally tossed Mr. Incredible too far and flung him into the jungle.
"Oh, brilliant." He grumbled.
...
Mr. Incredible landed in a river and managed to swim out and grab a rock before going over the falls.
He looked up and saw Syndrome flying at him and he jumped off the rock over the waterfall.
Syndrome pulled out a small device that looked like a spoon.
"Alright, try this one on for size, big boy." He hit a button and the device started blinking and Syndrome dropped it into the water.
...
Mr. Incredible saw the device drop down and immediately began swimming away into a cave when the device exploded.
The force pushed Mr. Incredible up and out of the water into an underwater cave.
He groaned and coughed and looked up to come face to face with a skeleton.
He jumped back and noticed the GB on the skeletons helmet.
"Gazerbeam?"
Mr. Incredible followed the skeletons eyes and noticed the word 'Kronos' on the cave wall.
Before he could guess what that meant, another device came up and began scanning the area. Bob quickly hid behind the skeleton to avoid being seen.
...
The device flew back up to Syndrome and placed itself back into his wrist clamp.
"Life reading negative. Mr. Incredible terminated."
Syndrome had a smug grin on his face as he walked off.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).
