Chapter 1

Mr. Incredible clung to the top of the Underminer’s massive tunneler as it chewed through the earth. He held on with all his strength, but the machine soon shook him loose, flinging him to the ground! He gagged as dirt and debris flew into his mouth.

The giant drill cut an enormous cavern right below the financial district. Once it stopped, a hatch opened and the Underminer emerged. He pointed a detonator at the newly carved cavern and laughed. “Consider yourselves UNDERMINED!” He pressed a button, and within seconds, there was a tremendous explosion! Bank buildings dropped straight down to the cavern floor, sending clouds of dust into the air. The tunneler began moving again — this time drilling directly through the walls of the banks and their vaults!

BWOOP! BWOOP! BWOOP! The deafening alarms rang out from the vaults, and bright-red emergency lights flickered urgently. But none of that stopped the Underminer from his work. He pulled a long, wide tube from the tunneler and dragged it into the vaults. Planting himself in the center of the room, he turned on the powerful suction. Mountains of cash, bonds, and deeds were sucked up through the tube and into the tunneler!

Mr. Incredible appeared. With his hands on his hips, he said, “Underminer. We meet again —”

Startled, the Underminer, still holding the vacuum, turned toward him. In a flash, Mr. Incredible was sucked inside! The tube bulged and twisted as the Super’s body snaked its way through.

“Oh, GREAT!” barked the Underminer, irritated. “Now he’s on the agenda.”

The pressure built as Mr. Incredible clogged the tube until the strength of it finally forced him through. He flew out the other side, tumbling into the tunneler’s vault. A blizzard of coins and cash followed, falling into the piles around him.

The Underminer scowled as he heard a banging sound from deep inside the vault. A dent appeared, growing bigger and bigger with each bang. The Underminer threw the controls to autopilot. Suddenly, Mr. Incredible burst through the metal wall, and the Underminer whacked him on the head! The Underminer flashed his claw-like hands and punched them up and down like jackhammers.

“INCREDIBLE!” the Underminer shouted. “Meet JACK HAMMER!”

Mr. Incredible and the Underminer fought, tumbling around the tunneler until Mr. Incredible threw the Underminer against the control panel, breaking it! The massive machine began tunneling out of control, drilling upward, toward the surface. The Underminer ducked into the vault, and it separated from the tunneler — the vault was actually an escape pod! Its miniature driller quickly burrowed into the dirt floor and vanished. Mr. Incredible was left inside the tunneler, which continued to zigzag haphazardly toward the surface.

Mr. Incredible pounded every button and flipped every switch and lever as he attempted to stop the tunneler. A screen next to the control panel blinked a message: breach in three ... two ... one ...

“No, no, no, NO NO NO NO!!!!!!” he yelled, banging his fists against the panel.

With a loud CRASH , the tunneler exploded through the asphalt and burst onto the streets near the stadium parking lot!

A few blocks away, Dash was keeping the crowd back. He noticed the plume of dust in the near distance. “Stay back!” he shouted. Then, using his Super speed, he zoomed off toward the action.

Violet wanted to help, too. When she spotted Dash whipping by in a blur, she shouted, “You’re not sticking me with babysitting!” She ran after Dash, pushing Jack-Jack along in his stroller. It was always a challenge to keep their baby brother and the city safe when a villain struck.

Elastigirl stretched, swinging across the city, making her way to the top of the tunneler. Mr. Incredible emerged from inside the machine.

“I can’t steer it or stop it!” he said. “And the Underminer has escaped!”

“We’ll have to stop it from —” Elastigirl’s eyes widened as she noticed the monorail approaching. It was too late. The tunneler slammed into a column holding up the tracks! The tracks crumbled apart and the train began to dive toward the ground. Just then, an icy breeze swept in. It was Frozone! The newly arrived Super used his ice powers to create a track that guided the monorail smoothly out of harm’s way.

But the tunneler continued its destruction through the city.

“We have to stop this thing before it gets to the overpass!” shouted Elastigirl.

“I’ll try and keep it away from the buildings!” Mr. Incredible yelled back as he jammed a lamppost into the treads of the tunneler. But the enormous machine kept going, scraping against the sides of buildings and crushing anything in its path.

As Dash raced through the scattered debris, the tunneler flung a car into the air. He swiftly swept an older woman out of the way.

“Thank you so much, young man —” she said. Dash saw Jack-Jack rolling toward him in his stroller, giggling and babbling. Dash grunted, realizing the responsibility of babysitting was back on him. Now he was responsible for keeping Jack-Jack safe while also fighting the forces of evil!

“Violet!” he shouted, knowing his sister was hiding somewhere nearby with her power of invisibility. But he stayed focused, always up for a challenge.

Violet reappeared and shielded herself with force fields as she chased after the tunneler. Mr. Incredible continued to struggle, using all his strength to try to stop the machine.

Elastigirl swung her way up to the overpass and stretched her arms in both directions, stopping cars from entering the bridge as the tunneler took down its supports. The bridge collapsed, and Elastigirl stretched to grab a streetlight, pulling herself to safety.

Mr. Incredible jammed a fallen pole into the tunneler’s treads, stopping the machine only for a moment before it snapped the pole in half. Dash blurred past him.

“Heads up, Dad!” he yelled. Suddenly, Mr. Incredible found himself holding Jack-Jack!

Violet threw force fields on the other side of the tunneler to protect bystanders.

Elastigirl saw her. “VIOLET? WHO’S WATCHING JACK-JACK?”

“Dash is watching him!” answered Violet.

Mr. Incredible sprinted past Violet and handed her Jack-Jack. “Violet, here! You take him!”

Elastigirl leaped down from a streetlight and flipped into the open hatch of the tunneler.

As Mr. Incredible and the kids chased after the tunneler, they noticed what was sitting directly in its path: city hall. They climbed up to the hatch and hurried inside.

Elastigirl snaked her body through the tunneler’s machinery, stretching to her limits, trying to spill the engine’s coolant to force it to overheat. Mr. Incredible appeared.

“Help me with the boiler!” Elastigirl urged. He rushed in to help her pry it loose, toppling it over. “That should do it!” She turned to go — and saw her children standing there. Panicking, she screamed, “What are you kids doing? GET OUTTA HERE! This thing’s gonna blow!”

“THERE’S NO TIME!” shouted Violet. She handed Jack-Jack to her mom and created a force field around the family just as a massive boom rippled throughout the tunneler. The giant machine stalled — right in front of city hall! The Incredibles huddled together on the floor of the tunneler, laughing with relief.

“We did it!” cheered Dash.

“Freeze, Supers!” The family looked up through the open hatch to see a team of cops with their weapons drawn and aimed at them.

“Ahh, what did we do?” said Mr. Incredible. Trc9D2NKFKo6cLET54CduYn/Y0vDJYV/MW1uFZS96a/s5LjgP+xYo5K9FMJI1CGX
