This choice: Where did Impenetrable Man go? • Go Back...Chapter #12Plotting under the Big Top by: SonicV   In a deserted Circuis tent out in the country side, a different type of fight was occuring.
"Embesile! You said you could take him!" a whip cracked at Impenetrable Man's feet. He being criticized by another villain, one that had a much higher rank than he did. Ringmaster was his name, and aside from his authority, he actually had the power to make people obey him, merely by cracking his whip. On civilians, it worked like a charm. It was trickier with Supers though. The affects on them were much more brief, though some were easier than others.
"I'm sorry sir, I thought I could take him!" Impenetrable Man begged for forgiveness. He cringed as Ringmaster raised his whip again. He continued to cringe, but nothing happened. Peeking one of his eyes open, he saw his boss putting away his weapon. "It makes sense, you're not the first one to think he could take on Mr. Incredible, but don't think I will be just as forgiving next time." he said.
"Yes sir." Impenetrable Man said.
"Steven, you must realize that you represent not just your super villain persona, but also our organization." Ringmaster pointed. His strong associate looked upon all of the other villains and henchmen. "All of us here are part of the next greatest team, one that will soon rival any force in the country. Everyone of us has talents, that when teamed together, create an unstopable force. The only to way beat a team of Superheroes, say the Incredibles, will be by using the very dynamic that has made them so succesful" he said.
"I couldn't a agree more sir." That remark however recieved Impenetrable Man a glare.
"And as a team, we must look out for one another. However, thanks to 'your' incompetance, Sword Swallower is probably being arrested even as I speak, and we still don't know what happened to Fire Swallower!".
Ringmaster's rant came to a hault, when someone else started shouting "No! No! PLEASE!". The two turned to see two henchmen forcing another towards a curtain.
"What's his story?" Impenetrable Man asked. "He was helping himself to a few extra hundreds, incompetance is one thing, but betrayel within the team, cannot be tolerated." Ringmaster twirled his moustache for emphasis.
The screaming man saw where he was being lead "NOT THERE!! NO! GOD NO!!!". The other two were unphased, as the three of them disappeared into the darkness as the curtain pulled back. When it came back, the screams were quickly replaced by loud smacking and slurping.
BELCH! A pair shoes flew out of the curtain. The other two hencmen soon followed.
"That will be you if you don't shape up." Impenetrable Man was threatened again.
"I think he gets it Ringmaster." he turned and saw the curtain was pulled back again.
"Remember, despite your name, I am in charge of this operation." a woman's voice came from the shadows. It was a very girly voice, but it scared Ringmaster.
"I haven't forgotten ma'am, is there anything else you need?" he asked humbly. "Well lets see, I just ate, before that I took a nap, I had two more meals and a few snacks before then, wow that's a full day, I think I'll rest for now, keep everything running smoothly." she said. "Yes ma'am" Ringmaster said before ordering "You heard the lady, back to work!".
The curtain pulled back to reveal the image of a nearly immobile woman, and the prompt read "Lovely, Little, Lonely, Lady, Lillie". | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
