Monarch helicopters had been hovering over the endless expanses of Antarctic ice for a long time. All transported, using thick and solid cables, the jaeger Gipsy Danger, with on board its pilots Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, both waiting for the signal to drop. In one of the choppers was the Incredibles family, all now outfitted in new superhero outfits created and supplied by Edna, which would protect them from the deadly glacial temperatures. As a good mother, Elastigirl was busy checking one last time that Dash and Violet's equipment was correctly installed and that the integrated heating system showed no problems. Dash, carried away by his childish curiosity, couldn't help looking out one of the portholes, contemplating this immense white expanse that stretched as far as the eye could see.

_"Wow..." he breathed. "I never thought I would come to Antarctica one day. At school, I heard that the water is so cold that the blood in the veins can freeze in just few seconds."

_"Tsss, and of course you believed that. Why I'm not surprised?" Violet sighed, jaded.

Meanwhile, Mr. Incredible walked to the cockpit and looked at the pilots.

_"We've been flying for hours now and I can't see anything. Are you sure we're going in the right direction?" Bob asked.

_"Yeah. Radar shows we're approaching the signal. It's coming from that huge rock formation over there." indicated the pilot.

Looking better, everyone could indeed see, in the distance, an immense formation of rock and ice, a kind of prisoner island in the middle of the ice floe, and on which shapes were taking shape, like dark-looking buildings. and sinister, like some kind of weird complex. The signal seemed to come from there, but something puzzled everyone.

_"That's strange..." Elastigirl said coming to her husband's side and watching from the cockpit. "Looks like it's completely abandoned."

_"Hmm, I don't like that..." Kim added into the communicator, from the cockpit into Gipsy Danger's head. "We shouldn't stay here, I feel that..."

_"WATCH OUT!" shouted one of the pilots but too late.

A swarm of missiles erupted from behind and struck all of Monarch's helicopters and most were completely blown to pieces, killing all crew inside.

The cables were destroyed too, releasing Gipsy Danger clumsily in a fall of several tens of meters but which with the combined address of Kim and Ron, managed to fall back on its feet. The helicopter the Parr family was in had been hit in the tail and was beginning to lose altitude dangerously. But luckily, Gipsy Danger managed to grab the damaged helicopter in his giant hand, preventing it from crashing, and put it down on the ice.

The Incredibles family were able to get out of the carcass of the machine. The two pilots, unfortunately, have been killed in the explosion of the cockpit.

_"Everyone is okay?" Kim asked.

_"Yes, thank you." replied Bob. "Where the hell did those missiles come from?"

_"I think I know...look." Violet said then, pointing a direction with a worried voice and gaze.

A hundred yards behind them, a giant, dark, mechanical, solitary form stood, shoulder cannons still smoking from its firing. Everyone recognized it. Hydra's jaeger. Obsidian Fury.

_"Oh no... not him." Elastigirl breathed.

_"We should have guessed that it wouldn't be so easy." Ron growled in annoyance.

Kim agreed with her boyfriend and both stood ready, Gipsy Danger taking a fighting stance and clenching her fists. Obsidian Fury did the same.

_"We're going to hold him off as long as possible." Kim said to the Parr family. "Meanwhile, go inside the Hydra Base and find out what they're up to!"
