A/N 1: Slight AU here folks, starting with Dash's exploration of the cave. Note that he started exploring a lot sooner than in the movie. Also, a tiny sliver of OOCness w/Dash and Violet on some parts.

Chains of Hate

By Corvus no Genmu the Prince of Slumberland

Chapter Five: The End

Chains sighed tiredly as he listened to Mr. Incredible talk with Agent Rick Dicker of the NSA. Currently he and the Incredibles were in a limo being driven back to the Incredibles' home. Dash was talking excitedly about what had transpired the past few days while his mother tried, somewhat unsuccessfully, to her phone messages.

"I wonder if school got cancelled…?" mused Violet, tapping her lip. Dash stopped his narration, much to his mother's relief, to face his sister.

"Why? Worried about your boyfriend?" he asked, batting his eyes to accent his question. Violet's face went tomato again while Chains began to look uncomfortable. "Don't worry about it, I'm sure he'll be there ready to pucker up and smooch ya!" Now Chains' face deepened into a dark shade of red. "Maybe he'll even ask you to marry him!" Chains' eyes went wider than a satellite dish and his face went stark red to pale to red again.

Deciding to change the subject as quickly as she could, Violet asked, "Wh-Where will you be staying, Angelon?" A small glimmer of something echoed in her eyes.

Agent Dicker answered that question, "Unfortunately, because Angelon is underage, he will have to be put into an orphanage until he's either adopted or old enough to inherit his parents' assets…"

"What!" cried Angelon, "I have to go to a what! No! I refuse!" Further discussion was cut off by Mrs. Incredible.

"Bob, listen to this…" said Mrs. Incredible, holding the car phone between her and her husband. Though Chains and Violet couldn't hear the words, the voice sounded as though it was getting more and more panicked when suddenly it became calm and relaxed again. Chains got the word 'replacement' from phone before Mrs. Incredible exclaimed, "Replacement? I didn't hire a replacement!" before running out of the limo with the rest of her family and a confused Chains following behind.

Nearly knocking down the front door, the Incredibles and Chains ran into the dining room to see Syndrome holding little baby Jack-Jack in his arms. Wasting no time, the villain used his zero-point energy ray on the supers.

"Shhhh… The baby's sleeping…" snickered the twisted villain, holding Jack-Jack close while keeping an eye on the paralyzed heroes. "You ruined my future so I'm merely returning the favor. Oh don't worry, I'll be a good mentor," said Syndrome excitedly, "Kind, loving, nurturing… Everything you weren't!" The red-haired psycho sent a heated glare at Mr. Incredible. "Who knows… maybe he'll make a good sidekick!" Syndrome sent the supers flying into the wall and into the living room and then blasted the roof of the kitchen away with his remaining wrist guard. With an insane laugh, the madman took off into the air, taking a sobbing Jack-Jack along for the ride.

"We got to do something, Bob! We got to do something now!" cried a frantic Mrs. Incredible as she stood up and watched helplessly as her baby was being taken away from her.

"SYNNNNNDROOOOOOOOME!" roared Chains with enough fury to top a thousand volcanoes. Raising his arms high above his head, the teen roared angrily again before slamming his arms downwards as well as his chains. The ticked-off hero shot high into the air, going at least fifty miles per hour as his chains retracted back into his wrist guards before shooting them upwards to impale Syndrome's airship. Pulling up alongside Syndrome, Chains gave his chin a swift kick.

"GAH!" The cape-wearing maniac flew upwards a few feet on his own power before gaining control once again. Growling angrily, Syndrome fired a zero-point energy blast at Chains but he swung below and up the aircraft, landing on its roof.

"You may have taken my family away from me Syndrome," yelled Chains over the noise of the aircraft, "but you won't take him from his!" The dragonhead-shaped weights roared and shot large plumes of fire into the air, emphasizing Chains' words. Jack-Jack, upon seeing the flames from Chains' dragonhead weights, suddenly got a rather wicked smile before bursting into flames.

"YEOW!" Syndrome threw Jack-Jack at Chains as he blew on his hands in pain. Chains' eyes widened and he shot his chains forward, creating a crib out of them, and caught Jack-Jack.

"Baby on fire! Baby on fire!" yelled Chains frantically as his dragonhead weights' mouths opened and a blue-colored mist blew out and over Jack-Jack, safely dousing the apparent super. Jack-Jack giggled happily before sneezing and turning his entire body into metal. "Gah!" grunted Chains from vast change of Jack-Jack's weight. An idea suddenly struck Chains and he quickly followed it. While keeping an eye on Syndrome, who was still blowing on his hands like a five-year old, Chains wrapped one chain around Jack-Jack tightly before sending it and Jack-Jack down to the ground with Jack-Jack's increased weight adding to the speed of descent.

The Incredibles couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the baby of their family changed from a baby composed of metal to normal and then fly through Chains' chain and into his stunned mother's arms. Chains smiled down at the family before being shot in the stomach by Syndrome. The super nearly fell off the aircraft from the blast but he managed to keep his footing. Wrapping an arm around his burned torso, Chains looked up at Syndrome.

"Neither they nor you have seen the last of me! I'll come back and take Mr. Incredible's brat a million times if I have to!" roared Syndrome angrily.

"No… you… won't!" gasped Chains. The super took a deep breath and closed his eyes before slowly falling sideways and off the manta ray-shaped aircraft, much to Syndrome's surprise. Looking over the side of his black aircraft, Syndrome saw that Chains' other chain, the one that had brought Jack-Jack back to his family, had wrapped around Mr. Incredible's car and had shot back upwards, launching the car at him.

"Oh no…" The car impacted the front of Syndrome's ship, destroying it completely and knocking Syndrome backwards and into one of the aircraft's turbines.

Down below, Violet watched nervously with the rest of her family as Chains fell slowly towards them. She had been surprised when Angelon had grabbed her father's car and took it up into the air where he was fighting Syndrome, but now she was more afraid for his safety than anything.

Up above the Incredibles, Chains thought grimly to himself as he fell, 'Mother… Father… you… have been avenged…'

Suddenly, Chains' body was wrapped completely in zero-point energy and his body was dragged roughly back upwards towards where Syndrome was getting closer to the blades of the turbines of his futuristic aircraft. Suddenly, the insane villain's cape was caught by the turbines and he was jerked backwards.

"ANGELON!" screamed Violet as she watched Syndrome's aircraft explode with Chains no more than ten meters away from the awful thing. The exploding aircraft drew closer and closer to the super-hero family and finally collided with their house, causing another large explosion which vaporized most of the aircraft and the house. Luckily, Violet had managed to not only erect a force field around her family, but a strong enough one to survive the explosion.

When the last pieces of large shrapnel fell to the ground, Violet hastily dropped the shield and quickly began looking around for Angelon. "Angelon? Where's Angelon! Angelon! Ang-" Violet's frantic cries were cut off by a small piece of shrapnel falling a few feet in front of her. Looking down, Violet's breath was caught in her throat and she dropped to her knees with a loud cry. Her family quickly ran up to her and looked down to see what had caused Violet to react so.

A broken chain.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

The End
