《The Incredibles》Chapter 15: The Bigger Robot Battle
Advertisement
—————————— 🦸🏼♂️——————————
The pieces of the rocket flew off revealing a flat piece that had a circle in the middle, where the Incredibles we're sitting in the van that was attached to the rocket using Helen's extended limbs.
Dash, Vince and (Y/n) were sitting at a table in the van while Bob sat in the drivers seat.
"Are we there yet?" Dash complained.
"We get there when we get there!" Bob snapped.
He rolled down the window to check on Helen. "How you doing, honey?!" He yelled.
"Do I have to answer?!" She screamed back.
The city finally appeared and they prepared to land.
"Kids, strap yourselves down like I told you." Bob said.
Vince, Dash, and (Y/n) strapped themselves down to a chair.
"Here we go honey! Ready Vince? Ready? Now!"
Vince hit a button that broke apart the rocket piece they were connected to and Helen slipped inside the van.
"This gonna be rough!" Bob warned the family.
He hit the gas as they landed on a highway and stated swerving all over the place.
"The robot's in the financial district. Which exit?" Bob asked.
"Traction Avenue."
"That'll take me downtown. I take Seventh don't I?" He asked, as he started getting on it.
"Don't take Seventh!" Helen screeched.
Bob pulled away last minute. "Great, we missed it!"
"You asked me how to get there and I told you. Exit at Traction."
"That'll take me downtown."
"It's coming up, get in the right lane! Signal!"
"We do not exit at Traction!"
"You're gonna miss it!"
Bob yelled and served down the exit and then slammed on the brakes making the car fall on the side and twist and roll, coincidentally, into an available parking spot.
"Is...is everybody okay back there?"
"Super duper, Dad!"
"Let's do that again."
"I'm okay!"
They looked out the window and saw the Omnidroid walking by.

"Wait here and stay hidden. I'm going in." Bob ordered.
He got out of the car but Helen stopped him by grabbing his shoulder.
"While what? I watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don't think so."
"I'm asking you to wait with the kids."
"And I'm telling you not a chance. You're my husband, I'm with you. For better or worse."
"I have to do this alone." He told her.
"What is this to you? Playtime?"
"No."
"So you can be Mr. Incredible again?"
"No!"
"Then what? What is it?"
"I'm not..."
"Not what?"
"I'm not strong enough!"
"Strong enough? And this will make you stronger?"
"Yes. No!"
"That's what this is? Some kind of workout?"
"I can't lose you again!" He blurted out, shaking her. "I can't. Not again. I'm not...strong enough."
Helen kissed her husband on the lips and looked up at him. "If we work together, you won't have to be."
"I don't know what'll happen."
"Hey, we're superheroes. What can happen?"
Suddenly, (Y/n) let out a scream as the kids ran out of the van as the robot stepped on it.
"Vi, Dash, (Y/n)! No!"
The robot was about to step on them again, but was blocked by Vince's forcefield. The robot hit the forcefield again, and then it hit it with its whole body, knocking Vince unconscious.
"Vince?!" (Y/n) yelled, cupping his face.
The robot was about to bring its weight on them again, but was stopped by Bob.
"Dad!"
"Go! Go!"
Helen grabbed Vince and she, Dash, and (Y/n) ran out from under the robot.
Bob used his super strength to lift up the robot more, when it grabbed him and threw him into a building.
"I'm okay, mom. Really." Vince insisted.
"Stay here, okay?"
The robot climbed up the building and Bob jumped back out the window and punched it to the ground.

As it was trying to get back up, Frozone came sliding in on ice and froze its limbs.
"Frozone! Yeah!"
"Bob!" Helen called, just as Frozone got thrown onto a car.
"Hey!" He yelled at the robot before getting smacked himself.
Bob got up from the ground and noticed something laying on the ground in front of him.
"Syndrome's remote!" He yelled, holding it up.
The robot heard him and picked Bob up. Bob started randomly pressing the buttons and the arm that was holding him fell off.
"The remote controls the robot!" (Y/n) said.
"Dad! Throw it! Throw it!" Dash yelled to Bob.
"Go long!" Bob threw the remote super far and Dash sped off to catch it.
The robot fired at Dash and he ran across water and caught the remote in his hands. He tried to get back, but the robot kept blasting in front of him.
"Honey, take out its gun!" Bob yelled.
Helen grabbed a manhole cover and used her arms to slingshot it at the robots gun, breaking it.
Meanwhile, Frozone grabbed Dash and the two were skating away. The robot rolled into a sphere and rolled after Frozone and Dash. The two made a turn onto the water and the robot jumped into the water creating a huge wave that launched Dash and Frozone up into the air. Luckily, Frozone managed to turn the water into snow which softened Dash's fall.
Bob saw where the remote landed and ran towards it. Unfortunately the robot saw him and fired its claw at Bob which grabbed him and launched him away from the remote.
The robot started walking towards the remote, when Frozone froze the road making it slip, and Helen extended her body in front of it, making the robot fall to the ground.
The remote was right in front of it, but when it tried to grab it, (Y/n) dove for it and got it instead.
The robot tried to grab her, but Vince knocked its claws back with a forcefield, and grabbed (Y/n)'s hand and the two ran over to the adults.
"Mom, we've got it, we've got the remote!"
"A remote? A remote that controls what?" Frozone asked.
The robot came closer and (Y/n) randomly pushed a button making the rockets ignite from its arms and shoot it into a building.
"The robot?!" Frozone realized.
"It's coming back!" Dash grabbed the remote and pushed a button launching Bob out of its decapitated claw.
"That wasn't right!"
"Give me that!" Vince grabbed the remote.
Bob got up and looked at the Omnidroid.
"We can't stop it. The only thing hard enough to penetrate it is...itself!" He realized.
Bob picked up the claw while the others were arguing over the remote.
One button made the claw launch forward with a rocket and Bob struggle to hold onto it. Helen pressed a button that made it stop, but then Bob had an idea.
"Wait a minute...press that button again!"
Helen pressed a button that made the blades spin.
"No, the other one! The first button!"
"First button! Got it!" She reported.
"It's getting closer!" Dash said.
"Press the button!" Bob yelled.
"Not yet!"
"What are you waiting for!?"
"A closer target! You got one shot!"
The robot came even closer and Helen finally pressed the button.
"Everybody duck!" Bob yelled.
They all hit the deck and Bob released the claw that shot right through the robot and tearing out its main power source.
The robot fell over into the water and exploded.
"Hey, Zone." Bob greeted.
Frozone laughed, as a crowd of people gathered around and clapped and cheered for them.
At that moment, Syndrome regained consciousness and saw what had happened.
"No!" He growled.

Blood Demon's Retirement
Civil War had raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor. This is not his story. The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. Thus she retired, and went and did exactly what she wanted. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace. Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy. Expect: -slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action -world building -detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then Do not expect: -romance, other than maybe some passing mentions -politics, again, barring passing mentions Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. ---------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road and Scribblehub websites. If you should find this story elsewhere or under another name, please let me know. Also please don't be too hard on me when I make occasional grammatical mistakes, English is my third language after all. XD Edit suggestions are very welcome though. Discord
8 2527Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.

8 179Gotta Gacha
Tell me is it Good Luck or Bad Luck to be sent to a RPG styled fantasy world where the one thing that matters the most is luck. Is it Lucky to be suddenly killed so you could be brought over by the God of Gacha? Or is it bad luck to find out you're unreasonably being thrown out there into the world without a choice? Well I suppose that too depends on your luck. Join our Heroes, Villains, and whatever else these Otherworlders want to be as they test their luck out there in the world where if you wanna live you Gotta Gacha.(Warning: I put a mature tag in there for a reason you have been warned)(Disclaimer: The updates are quite random)
8 202Magic is Overrated
This is a side project I am starting for my own amusement. It's not meant to be serious but it can be. I'll post a chapter when I feel like and chapter lengths simply depend on how much I want to write. I don't even know where the story will go so you can say it will be an adventure for myself and any readers. This story is how I relieve my stress and cynical ideals so you have been warned.Synopsis: When the entire world is run on principals of magic and every person born a mage one boy can't help but despise it. This story is about his struggles and failures with his """"shitty"""" magic. He also is a member of a high ranking noble house filled with freaks. This can only go horribly wrong.Warning: Crude language and sexual situations. Along with crazy mishaps.
