[Bob, now dressed in a more expensive and tailored version of his Insuricare suit, pauses to examine the torn spot on his Mr. Incredible supersuit]
Ah, jeez.
Hurry, honey! Or you’ll be late for work! [Bob quickly stuffs his SUPERSUIT into his briefcase and snaps it shut.] Have a great day, honey.
Help customers, climb ladders...
G Guard
[Bob drives away. He pulls up to an imposing gate, a futuristic web of parallel laser beams. He turns toward a video screen and presses a button beneath it. The video screen lights up, revealing a burly guard]
You have an appointment?
I’m an old friend. I just wanted to...
G Guard
All visitors are required to make a reser—
[The guard suddenly flinches from something below camera, and is shooed offscreen by a strident, husky female voice. A pair of huge glasses fronting the top half of a head rises into the bottom half of the screen, out of focus. This is Edna Mode, known by her friends simply as "E."] [shoos the guard away]
Get back to work! Go check the electric fence or something! What is it? Who are you? What do you want?
[Bob lowers his sunglasses]
Yes, you’ve gotten fat. Come in, Come, come!
[The gate opens, and Bob drives up the long driveway that winds up the hill to E's tastefully arty palace.] [E leads Bob through the tasteful, minimalistic entranceway into her massive living room. E is in her early sixties, half German, half Japanese, and like both of those small countries, not to be underestimated.]
Yes, things are going quite well. Quite well. My God, no complaints. But, you know, it is not the same. Not the same at all.
Weren’t you just in the news? Some show in Prayge...Prague?
Milan, darling. Milan. Supermodels. Ha! Nothing super about them. Spoiled, stupid, little stick figures with poofy lips who think only about themselves. Feh! I used to design for gods.... but perhaps you come with a challenge, eh? I was surprised to get your call.
E, I just need a patch job.
[Bob hands E his damaged suit. She examines it, frowning.]
Hmm. This is megamesh. Outmoded, but very sturdy. And you’ve torn right through it! What have you been doing, Robert? Moonlighting hero work?
Musta happened a long time ago.
I see. This is a hobo suit, darling, you can’t be seen in this! [throws it away] I won’t allow it! Fifteen years ago, maybe, but now?
[takes it out of the garbage]
What do you mean? You designed it.
I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now. You need a new suit. That much is certain.
A new suit? Where the heck am I gonna get a new suit?
You can't! It’s impossible! I’m far too busy. So ask me now, before I again become sane....
Wait....you want... to make me... a suit?
You push too hard, darling! But I accept. It will be bold. Dramatic!
Yeah, something classic, like Dynaguy! Oh! He had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots—
No capes! [She throws a paper ball at him.]
[Unaccustomed to being questioned, E visibly stiffens.]
Do you remember... Thunderhead?
[FLASHBACK: THUNDERHEAD IN HIS PRIME --beefy and B-movie handsome, decked out in a splendid outfit with elegant floor-length cape.] [voiceover]
Tall, storm powers. Nice man. Good with kids.
November 15th of ‘58. [RESUME FLASHBACK — A madman aims a missile launcher at a city across a bay. Thunderhead leaps into frame, dispatches him with a single punched and turns the missile towards the open sea. His duty done, he turns and smiles at a young lady standing nearby, failing to notice that his cape has caught on the missile, voiceover, continued] All was well, another day saved, when— [The rocket blasts into the distance, taking Thunderhead with it, voiceover, continued] —his cape snagged on a missile fin. [INTERCUT: comically brief FLASHBACKS [as E describes them] of each Super being doomed by his or her cape.]
Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...
Stratogale! April 23rd, ‘57. Cape caught in a jet turbine.
E, you can’t generalize about these things.
Meta-Man, Express elevator! Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex! NO CAPES!!! Now, go on. Your new suit will be finished before your next assignment.
You know I’m retired from hero work.
As am I, Robert. Yet here we are.
E, I only need a patch job. For... sentimental reasons.
[she sighs begrudgingly]
Fine. I will also fix the hobo suit...
You’re the best of the best, E.
Yes, I know, darling. [whispering] I know.
[Back in Nomanisan, Bob is hiding in brush at the top of a cliff. Along the waterline far below, a monopod streaks toward him along a track which curves around the coastline. Bob crouches... and dives — we fall with him, whistling through the air until we hit a palm tree. The palm bends, slowing Bob's drop before he expertly releases it and drops into another palm directly below it. Bob leaps onto the roof of the pod, quickly dispatching the guards inside, tossing them into the ocean. Bob seats himself at the controls, as the pod races toward Syndrome's base and a security checkpoint. Two guards look up as they hear the monopod approach. A sparking wheel carriage arrives at the gate, its cab completely torn off and missing. Suddenly alert, the guards **** their guns and aim into the dark. We hear a distant grunt. A moment later the cab falls from the sky, crashing on top of the guards. Bob runs through the wrecked gate, toward the base. Bob pulls up behind some trees. There are several guards; two at the vehicle entrance, another at the balcony above. Bob thinks a bit, looks down and finds a coconut. With expert precision, he throws it at the balcony guard, beaning him. He falls off the balcony and hits the ground.]
G1 Guard 1
[voice on radio]
Hey, hey. We got a man down!
G2 Guard 2
Come on, let’s go.
G2 Guard 2
Are you okay? What happened?
[over radio] Break surveillance and engage. Continuing sweep...
[The other guards rush to help him, leaving their post. Bob runs up to the vehicle entrance — it's locked tight. Bob sees shadows of guards approaching, he's out in the open and about to be caught when — the door suddenly sweeps up and opens, taking Bob with it. A medical transport comes out of the open bay, and as the door moves closed behind it, we see Bob drop into the garage. Elevator. Bob emerges in the dining hall and stares at the lava fall. He knows there is a secret passage behind it. He picks up a large stone sculpture in the shape of a Moai head and readies to run into the lava fall. One... two... thr— Bob is startled by a flash of light behind the fall; the passage is opening. He loses his balance, struggling to set the massive sculpture back into place before Mirage enters. Bob rushes into the closing passage. Jumps clear just as passage closes. A series of parallel floor lights click on. Bob follows them to an elaborate chair in the center of the room, lit from above. Bob sits down in the chair. A giant. curved screen lights up in front of him, with a blinking cursor in its center. Bob types in "KRONOS". The computer screen refreshes: Bob is in.]
[Switch back to Helen and E] [over phone]
Insuricare.
Oh, hello. This is Helen Parr. Bob Parr is my husband. I was wondering if you could give me the number of the hotel he’s staying at. The number I have is, uh, no good.
Mr. Parr no longer works at Insuricare.
[confused]
What do you mean? He’s on a business trip. A company retreat.
My records say his employment was terminated almost two months ago.
[Switch back to Bob. After apparently searching one of the information sectors, he proceeds to go to the Supers sector. He presses "return", and it's a slideshow of the superheroes and the older Omnidroids.] [The sequence is as follows:] [Universal Man - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X1] [Psycwave - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X1] [Everseer - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X1] [Macroburst - Terminated Omnidroid v.X1] [Macroburst - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X2] [Phylangue - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X2] [Blazestone - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X2] [Switch back to Helen and E. Helen's call ends, as she worries for Bob.] [Switch back again to Bob in the Computer room. The sequence continues.] [Downburst - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X3] [Hyper Shock - Terminated Omnidroid v.X3] [Hyper Shock - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4] [Apogee - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4] [Unknown Super - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4] [Blitzerman - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4] [Tradewind - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4] [Vectress - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4] [Unknown Super - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4] [Gazerbeam - Terminated Omnidroid v.X4] [Gazerbeam - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X5] [Stormicide - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X5] [Gamma Jack - Terminated Omnidroid v.X5] [Gamma Jack - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X6] [Unknown Super - Terminated Omnidroid v.X6] [Switch back to Helen and E.]
So, you don't know where he is.
[She shows a tracking device to Helen.]
Would you like to find out...?
[Switch back to Bob; the sequence has ended.] [He types "Elastigirl" into the search engine and the screen displays her location as "UNKNOWN". He gives a relieved sigh. Helen reluctantly takes the homing locator from E and stares at it; not sure she wants to know what it may tell her. He then types Frozone into the search engine and the screen displays his location as KNOWN. Shortly after, he types himself on the search engine. The screen displays him as TERMINATED by the Omnidroid v.X9. Cut back to E and Helen. E gives the tracker device to Helen. Cut back to Mr. Incredible in the Computer Room. He is now looking at Syndrome's master plan, which seems to indicate unleashing the Omnidroid on Municiberg, and then Operation Kronos's sequence begins. It shows the Omnidroid v.10. Then, Mr. Incredible goes through the phases]
[First Phase: Secure the Omnidroid into a Rocketship.] [Second Phase: Launch the Rocket towards Metroville.] [Third Phase: Destroy the city with the robot deployed.] [The countdown begins, showing 8 hours, 10 minutes and 39 seconds until the Omnidroid is launched. Mr. Incredible retreats. Cut Back to Helen. Helen presses the locator button on the homing tracker. On the viewscreen, the locator isolates a remote island. As the dot over the "i" on his chest-logo lights up. We hear a beeping noise. Mr. Incredible looks down in surprise. An alarm sounds as the room is awash in bright light. Unwittingly, Helen has exposed him. Mr. Incredible races for the exit but is hit by sticky, expanding and pressure absorbent orbs fired from guns lining the walls, which inflate, quickly making it impossible to run. Mr. Incredible falls to the floor, swallowed up by the expanding goo. From his POV: The expanding goo-balls fill up the POV but not before Bob makes out the recognizable figure approaching him: Mirage. Cut back to E and Helen in her kitchen. Coffee has been made and partially consumed. The morning paper, still rolled, rests on the table. Helen, eyes reddened from crying, blows her nose into a wadded length of toilet paper handed to her by a mildly disgusted E.]
[Helen enters a clearing and looks up. A monorail track soars high above the jungle floor. A monopod is coming. Helen throws her hands high, stretching them up to the pod passing overhead. It yanks her offscreen. Moving through the trees — Helen hangs suspended beneath the pod on long arms, alternating hands to swing around the support columns. Gaining momentum with each swing, she throws her body above the roof of the pod, landing expertly on top.]
ON TOP OF THE POD
[Helen squints into the rushing wind, sees the track slicing through the dense jungle canopy and leading directly into the base of the towering volcano. A familiar hum causes her to hide, and she slips down one side of the pod, out of view, as two Hoverjets buzz by. Helen watches the jets descend to a landing strip inside the Volcano just as the pod plunges into a tunnel and—] INSIDE THE TUNNEL - MOVING WITH HELEN ON THE POD
[Darkness. Suddenly an opening in the tunnel rushes by, and Helen catches a glimpse of the rocket... and whoosh — the pod is back in the tunnel. Helen stretches her torso out like a sail. It catches wind and she releases from the pod, reforms and drops to the tracks with catlike grace.] INSIDE THE BASE - TUNNEL ENTRANCE
[Helen peeks out of the tunnel, looks out at the heavily guarded launch pad.]
A rocket?
[Two armed guards march past. Unseen above them, Helen is stretched thin and hiding between a cluster of pipes which run down the center of the corridor. She watches as the guards exit through a sliding door. She drops like a liquid cat to the floor and begins to move down the corridor. As Helen passes a metal door, she catches sight of her reflection in its shiny surface. She stops, and frowns. It's been a while since her last supersuit; her butt is a bit bigger than she remembered. She wonders if she should lose a few — when the whoosh of a door surprises her. A guard comes through the door at the far end of the hall. As he enters another junction, we see that Helen has contorted herself, arching perfectly around the door frame. The guard doesn't see her. He slides a card key through a reader to enter a restricted corridor. The doors whoosh open. Directly behind him, Helen silently re-forms and begins to back through the doorway when the doors behind her slide shut — trapping her leg. She winces, tries in vain to pull it free. It's stuck. Leaving one hope — the card key on Guard #1's belt. Stretching across the corridor, Helen clambers after the guard on the palms of her hands, following him into the—]
INNER CHAMBER
[The guard stops at the elevator and presses the call button, his back to Helen. Just behind him, stretched far and held upright on one hand, Helen reaches with the other for the card key. She almost has it—] AT THE CORRIDOR
[The door suddenly closes on her stretched torso. Her upper third snaps back, her middle third trapped and now stretched across—] HALLWAY - CENTRAL CORE
[Two more guards (#2 & #3) are traveling in a transport. They are suddenly clotheslined by Helen's stretched torso.] INNER CHAMBER
[—knocking the wind out of Helen. Directly in front of her at the far end of the hall, the elevator opens for guard #1; revealing Guard #4 inside. He sees Helen.
G Guard
Hey!
[Helen's arm stretches forward—] INNER CHAMBER - INSIDE ELEVATOR
[In a blink: her fist clocks guard #4, disarms guard #1 hitting him with the butt of his gun. As guard #4 drops to the floor, #1 hits the "close" button on the panel. The doors close on Helen's arm. Guard #1 grins. Helen's hand feels around, finds guard #1, his chest, chin, face and — coldcocks him. He drops.] RESUME MIDDLE CORRIDOR
[The torso guards (#2 & #3) get to their feet, and see Helen, her arm still stretched, through the glass door. They level their guns at her. At the same moment—] BLUE CORRIDOR
[Another guard (#5) comes upon Helen's leg in the closed doors. The sight is so odd, he can only stare. He decides to poke the leg with the barrel of his machine gun as she reacts to the poke. She scowls.] RESUME BLUE CORRIDOR
[her leg **** back and fishtail-kicks guard #5. He flies backwards, his weapon discharging into the card scanner. The door opens — freeing Helen's legs, which sail across the corridor and — smash the torso guards (#2 & #3) against the middle door. They slide down into a heap — out cold.] INSIDE ELEVATOR
[Helen's arm finds one of the guards' card key, slides it into the door scanner. The doors open, releasing her torso.] ACCESS CORRIDOR
[Helen drags the last of the unconscious guards over to an open wall panel and stuffs him inside with the others. She throws her weight against the panel, finally getting it shut.]
[Dash watches as Violet practices intently. She releases the force field sphere; the dark smoke ball rises upwards. Vi throws another force field, recapturing the smoke at the roof of the cave. Dash gets to his feet, grabs a burning branch from the fire to use as a torch.]
Well, not that this isn’t fun, but I’m gonna go look around.
What do you think is going on here? You think we’re on vacation or something? Mom and Dad’s lives could be in jeopardy. Or worse, [whispering] their marriage.
Their marriage? So, the bad guys are trying to wreck Mom and Dad’s marriage.
Oh, forget it. You’re so immature.
Okay, I’m gonna go look around.
I’m not gonna leave the cave. Sheesh!
[Ground control technicians watch from the observation window as a giant metal sphere, a massive version of the dreaded Omnidroid — is carefully guided into place inside the top stage of the rocket. The rocket's nose cone is lowered over the Omnidroid and secured into place. The cylindrical blast shield closes around the rocket.] [voices over radio] [Lighting his way with a burning branch, Dash explores the depths of the "cave". Suddenly the floor becomes smooth. Dash looks down, then holds his torch up. He's inside an enormous man-made tunnel]
Cool... [His voice echoes a bit. Dash brightens. He calls again, louder this time.]
COOL! [His voice echoes again] Cool! Cool! Cool!
[Syndrome shoves a Pass Key into the control board, gives the key a twist, then presses the "launch" button.] [over radio] Roger. We are ready for launch.
[The rocket's engines fire. The sound is deafening as the rocket's massive weight slowly lifts into the air. A low rumble and a subtle push of warm wind emanate from the depths of the tunnel, which begins to glow. Dash's smile drops as he realizes it's an enormous fireball rocketing towards him. He turns and runs.] [Violet is still practicing force fields when the depths of the tunnel begin to rumble and glow. She looks up.] [off-screen]
Vi!!! Vi Vi Vi Vi Vi!!!
What did you do?
[It is revealed that the "cave" is actually the exhaust outlet for the volcano. Dash and Violet race out of the "cave", getting clear just as an enormous wall of flames erupts after them. They look down with a shudder at how close they came. A roar behind them causes them to turn — a rocket emerges from the center of the volcano, and soars into the night sky. It contains the Omnidroid Syndrome plans to unleash on Municiberg]
CONTROL ROOM - DETENTION BLOCK
[Helen looks down from some vents in the ceiling. Silently she stretches her neck until her head dangles down behind the guards.] [Her POV: Helen scans the detention grid and notices a tremendous spike of power to restrain the prisoner in cell 13, Block A1.] [over radio] : ETA two-niner. Over. TCI clear. Condition yellow. Status norm.
[over radio] : Not responding to IFF. IRCM reads negative.
G1 Guard #1
[Helen quickly pulls her head back up through the vent in the ceiling and exits.]
Huh? What?
G2 Guard #2
Uh, I didn’t say anything.
[The final stage of the Omnidroid's capsule separates. The Omni ship begins to descend below the cloud layer, toward the city.]
MM Mecha-macaw
[It is the following morning. Dash awakens, discovering to his horror that he's curled up with Violet. Repulsed, he jumps up and shudders. The Mecha-macaw (a similar one like the one that observed Mr. Incredible fight the first Omnidroid) spots Dash and Violet]
Identification, please.
Hey! Hey, Violet! Come here, look.
[pointing to the mecha-macaw]
There. That one.
MM Mecha-macaw
Voice key incorrect.
MM Mecha-macaw
Voice key incorrect.
[realizing that something is wrong]
Wait a second...
[The bird's head slowly swivels toward the kids with a soft computing sound. Its eyes light up red as its beak drops open, and it lets out a shrill electronic alarm. Violet backs away from the shrieking bird, Dash following after her, panicking.]
What do we do?
PA P.A.
[Alarms sound. A section of the island grid lights up, locating the kids. A guard hits the "Scramble" button.] [Helen hears the alarm, watches as the guards scramble. Guards on Velocipods zoom out into jungle.]
Intruder alert. Intruder alert. Intruder alert.
[Bob hangs, defeated, in the suspension beams. The cell door slides open. A figure is silhouetted there — Mirage. She switches off the suspension ray. Bob drops to the floor. Bob just sits there on his knees, his eyes cast downward. Mirage crosses to him, kneels down—]
There isn’t much time.
[Bob's hand flashes out and clamps around her throat. He rises, holding her dangling body aloft with one hand.]
No, there isn’t. In fact... there’s no time at all.
Why are you here? How can you possibly bring me lower? What more can you take away from me?
[choking]
The family...survived...the...crash! They’re here...on the island!
[Bob releases his grip, Mirage drops to the floor, gasping raggedly. Bob lifts her up and embraces her. Mirage drinks it in, then reacts at the sight of a figure in the doorway. Bob looks up]
Helen...
[Mirage and Bob push apart, Mirage composing herself.]
Oh, hello...You must be Mrs. Incre— [She gets knocked out cold before she could finish, much to Mr. Incredible's shock.]
She was helping me to escape!
No! That’s what I was doing.
[Mr. Incredible grabs Elastigirl's arm.]
Let go of me! Let go, you lousy, lying, unfaithful creep!
[They kiss.]
How could I betray the perfect woman?
Oh, you’re referring to me now?
They might’ve triggered the alert.
Security’s been sent into the jungle. You better get going.
Now our kids are in danger?!
If you suspected danger, why’d you bring them?
I didn’t bring ‘em, they stowed away. And I don’t think you’re striking the proper tone here.
G Guard
Think they're supers?
[Running blindly. The kids are suddenly confronted by guards on three manned Velocipods. Glancing at the guards, Violet speaks quietly to Dash.]
Dash, remember what Mom said.
G2 Guard #2
Hey! Stop talking!
G3 Guard #3
[Abruptly, Vi vanishes. Dash looks around in surprise.]
Hold it! Freeze!
[Suddenly understanding — Dash bolts, jumping from the transport and vanishing into the jungle.]
Oh, yeah! [he runs away]
G Guard
[It happens fast: The guard's head snaps toward the sound of Vi's voice. He swings his rifle— we hear a heavy thud as Violet's (invisible) body is knocked from the transport: a cloud of dust surrounds an impression in the dirt.]
What the—?! They’re supers!
G2 Guard #2
[Violet disappears]
Get the boy! [guards take off after Dash on Velocipods] Show yourself!
[Dash blasts through the foliage on foot, unbelievably fast, a manned Velocipod hot on his tail. But the terrain is dense, uneven and difficult, and Dash is forced to adhere to the thin trail winding through the growth. A swarm of flies fusses in the air. Suddenly Dash bursts into view; rocketing right through the swarm! Bugs splatter Dash's face like an interstate windshield]
AGGCCHH!!!
[Dash stumbles, careens end over end through the undergrowth like an Indy 500 car crash, and finally tumbles to a stopped. Unharmed, but thoroughly repulsed, Dash wipes his bug-spattered face and teeth.]
Achpppt!!! PtTHWAAAGH!!! PTHPT!!
[A Velocipod bursts out of the brush after him and he takes off, tearing through the jungle. Running fast, Dash grabs a long vine — which sends him out in a wide arc that surprises the trailing guard. He shoots past Dash and roars off into the undergrowth. Dash releases the vine, tumbling roughly to his feet, and runs. A Velocipod bursts out of the brush and is on top of him. Impossibly, Dash accelerates, staying just ahead of it. He sees another vine, grabs it and is propelled upwards. Dash explodes out of the canopy, flailing, out of control. He looks down and sees — the treetops suddenly drop away. Dash is falling off a cliff, screams his ten-year-old lungs out as he lands on a Velocipod! Fleetingly astonished by his good luck, Dash looks up as the startled guard whirls around to face him. The guard swings. Dash ducks and reluctantly throws a punch at the guard's face. It lands! Thrilled that his raw speed renders the guard powerless to dodge or return his punches, Dash laughs and, growing more confident with each punch, socks the guard again and again, blissfully unaware that no one is driving. Dash looks up. His jaw drops: a rock wall looms ahead! Dash points at it. The guard sees an opening and socks Dash in the face, knocking him off just as — the Velocipod slams into the cliff face, vaporizing in a fireball, killing the guard]
Ha, ha! I’m alive. Yeah!
[Dash whooping] [Dash falls: making desperate, flailing grabs as he hits limb after limb of an enormous tree, finally getting hold of a branch and arresting his descent. He pants, heart racing, and looks down to see — his feet dangling about a yard off the jungle floor. Elated about his survival, Dash drops to the ground and lets out a loud whoop, immediately alerting two guards on Velocipods nearby to his presence. They turn their V-pods after him. With Dash as he bolts again, accelerating to breakneck speed. He smashes through an endless succession of foliage — nearly colliding with tree trunks and rocks and suddenly — a lagoon lies in front of him. Dash reacts: the V-pods are on his tail, he has nowhere to go, so he takes a deep breath and steps on it — and has enough velocity to run across the water! Amazed and exhilarated, Dash blasts across the water's surface, weaving like a speedboat around the large volcanic rocks jutting out of the water. Velocipods open fire... strafing the water as Dash is pursued into a cave. Velocipod #2 pulls up short at the cave entrance and chooses to go around.]
[Velocipod #2 is coming straight at him! Dash wheels around, his legs churning the water like an egg beater. He sees V-pod #1 closing fast. He has nowhere to go and, like a deer in headlights, Dash stops — suddenly dropping beneath the water's surface as the Velocipods collide — BOOM!]
I should've told you I was fired, I admit it. But I didn’t want you to worry.
You didn't want me to worry? And now we’re running for our lives through some godforsaken jungle.
You keep trying to pick a fight, but I’m still just happy you’re alive.
[The remaining guard waits, his machine gun at the ready. Suddenly the dirt moves. The guard fires, strafing the ground just behind a succession of footprints that streak toward the river moments before a splash appears. We see a Violet-shaped distortion as bullet trails furiously slice the surrounding water. Still firing. He stops, unnerved and adrenalized. Tensed and ready, he nervously scans the river.]
G Guard
I know you’re there, Little Miss Disappear. You can’t hide from me.
G Guard
[Training his gun where he last saw Violet, the guard grabs a handful of dirt from the riverbank and throws it into the water. He shoulders his rifle watching the dirt turn into a brown cloud as it travels downstream ...making visible a Violet-shaped pocket] [Aiming gun]
There you are.
[The guard takes aim and Dash blurs past]
HEY! [knocking the guard's gun barrel skyward as it fires. The guard swings around — strafing the ground at Dash's heels as he plunges back into the jungle. A splash explodes from the river as invisible Violet makes a break for it. The guard sees this and swings the gun toward her as — Dash blasts out of the jungle and knocks the Guard's legs out from under him. They tumble and scrap, Dash redeeming his lack of size with lightning-fast punches and faints.] Don't touch my sister!
[Disoriented, the guard swings and connects — knocking Dash off his feet. He tumbles backward, dazed. The guard shoulders his rifle, leveling it at Dash. Dash looks up; sees he's screwed. The guard grins wickedly and pulls the trigger — Violet suddenly appears in mid-air, diving in front of Dash as she throws a force field around them! A hail of bullets ricochet off the force field.]
How are you doing that?
Whatever you do, don’t stop!
[as Dash starts to walk within the force field like a gerbil on a wheel. Violet spins ever faster in the sphere's hub as Dash accelerates into a run. The guards empty their clips at the rolling sphere with no effect. It rumbles past them and straight into the jungle.] [Moving with the rolling force field as it carries Dash and Vi down a steep hillside into the path of two speeding Velocipods who fire at the sphere. It's clipped by one Velocipod-- which then spirals into a rock and explodes.] [Bob and Helen hear the explosions echo, and stop, worried. That's when they hear the rumble. Before they can get clear, the rolling force field bursts out of the brush]
Mom! Dad! Hey!
[the force field vanishes and the entire family tumbles to the jungle floor.]
Kids! You’re all right.
We were so worried about you!
I thought I’d never see you again.
[There is a frantic, joyful exchange of hugs and kisses, unfortunately cut short when — Velocipods explode out of the foliage! The Incredibles instantly jump to their feet: Helen throws a stretched scissor kick which catches a guard in the chest, knocking him out of his V-pod. Bob chops a second passing Velocipod — it plows straight into the soft jungle floor. Before its pilot can react — Helen's arm is coiled around him. She yanks him from the vehicle, whiplashing him into another guard, knocking them both out cold. Bob grabs the crashed V-pod and Frisbees it into a V-pod from the trees - boom! And it's over. Bob and Helen had forgotten how good they were. They exchange lustful glances.]
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible) & Helen (Elastigirl)
Aww, I love you.
[Suddenly the jungle is filled with guards and V-pods. And just as quickly the Incredibles turn as one against them, a hurricane blur of superpowers, suddenly brought to a crashing halt — as ZPE rays strike the Incredibles, suspending them all, motionless, in mid-air, in a clearing.]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! HEY, TIME OUT! [Syndrome keeps his wrists crossed; one beam trained on Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl; the other on Dash and Violet.] What have we here? Matching uniforms? [glances between the four faces. His eyes narrow as he zeroes in on Helen. An astonished smile splits his face.] Oh, no... Elastigirl!? [laughing, turns to Bob] You married Elastigirl? Whoa... and got... [he stops, sees the kids] And got biz-zay! It's a whole family of Supers! Looks like I've hit the jackpot! Oh, this is just too good!
NR News reporter on TV
[Back in Syndrome's lair, on a giant screen, network news footage of a crowd gathered around a smoldering hulk resting at the base of a large building. The TV channel changes. Another reporter is covering the same story. Camera widens: Syndrome is delightedly channel surfing with a remote control of his own invention.]
The ship’s unique design suggests...
NR News reporter on TV
There were no fatalities...
[The Incredibles are now side by side in the containment unit]
Huh? Huh!? Oh, come on! You gotta admit, this is cool! Just like a movie! The robot will emerge dramatically, do some damage. Throngs of screaming people! And just when all hope is lost, Syndrome will save the day! I’ll be a bigger hero than you ever were!
You mean, you killed off real heroes so that you could....PRETEND TO BE ONE?!
Oh, I'm real. Real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I'll give them heroics. I’ll give them the most spectacular heroics anyone’s ever seen! And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that everyone can be superheroes. Everyone can be super! And when everyone’s super... no one will be. [evil laughter, leaves room]
S Soldier
[Back in Municiberg, the military are fighting a losing battle with the Omnidroid. Soldiers shouting]
Fire at will!
R Reporter
[The Omnidroid starts destroying the military troops with ease.]
It's completely overwhelming the tanks.
I’m sorry. This is my fault. I’ve been a lousy father. Blind to what I have. So obsessed with being undervalued that I undervalued all of you.
[Violet uses her force field to nullify the zero-point energy's effects and float out of the suspension system. She walks towards the keyboard.]
So caught up in the past that I.....You are my greatest adventure. And I almost missed it. I swear, I’m gonna get us out of this safely if I...
Well, I think Dad has made some excellent progress today, but I think it’s time we wind down now.
[She hits the control panel, releasing the family]
We need to get back to the mainland.
I saw an aircraft hangar on my way in. Straight ahead, I think.
[Bob's hands pry open the heavy metal doors, crunching them like foil. The Incredibles enter the huge hangar]
Where are all the guards?
[The guards are all holed up in a command vehicle, watching the Omnidroid reports on TV.] [signaling the others to move inside the command vehicle]
Go, go!
G Guard
[The guards watch live coverage of the Omnidroid attack on a video monitor. Champagne is popped: the cork is unexpectedly caught by someone standing in the doorway — Mr. Incredible]
Hey, look. Hey! Every time they run, you take a shot.
[The vehicle rocks as Bob quickly takes out the guards within. In moments Bob emerges, whistles to his family that the coast is clear.]
This is the right hangar, but I don’t see any jets.
What’s faster than a jet?
[The other Incredibles follow Dash's finger to an enormous shield-shaped rocket, identical to the one launched earlier — save for a perfect circular hole in the center.]
Great! I can’t fly a rocket.
You don’t have to. Use the coordinates from the last launch.
Ah, wait. I bet Syndrome’s changed the password by now. How do I get into the computer?
[A voice comes over the loudspeaker.]
Say please.
[The Incredibles turn and look up. Mirage stands in the monitoring station above the launchpad, smiling.]
