Peter's gone, our parents are in danger, and we're left alone to try and fix everything...

Oh why did he leave everything to us? I thought to myself as dad's old car, the Incredi-Mobile came crashing through the walls of the house. It swerved to our side and we went into the car, putting Jack Jack in the backseat. We were...understandably a bit defeated. Dash figured out how to activate the car's voice identification and we synced up to it.

"What are we going to do...? They're under someone else's control...they all are. If they got mom, they probably got dad too. We definitely know they got Lucius and Peter literally just threw himself to the bad guy so we could have some time to think...we can't go to auntie Edna...they probably got her too," I said in a dejected manner.

"...ok. Bad guys are after us. No mom...no dad...no Lucius...even no Peter...we don't have a lot going for us right now. Let's think about what we do have though...we have our powers...we have this car...you have a way to track Peter....and...yeah, that's about it," Dash said, trying to stay optimistic. That was when it gradually sunk in how bad this was...

"Whoever this is...must be dangerous. If they can control an entire group of superpowered people...this is really really bad," I said.

"So? We be good. Really really good," Dash replied with a shrug. I looked at the remote and saw that Peter was getting further and further out.

"Look, if we don't do something now...we might never be able to find them again," Dash said.

"No...we will be able to find them," I said realizing something.

"Really? How?" Dash asked me in confusion.

"Peter gave me this remote. It's following the signal of something that Peter had put on him. Something he paid attention to in history is that the British diplomat's guard squad had to track a bandit in Burma. If I remember right...he ran and inside of a thick forest. They initially lost him amidst the thicket but they ended up finding him," I explained.

"How did they find him?" Dash asked, even more confused as to why I was bringing this up. I held up the remote, showing the remote with the spider icon.

"They burned the forest down, leaving him with nowhere to hide. That's what Peter did for us. He burned down this bad guy's forest. We know where they'll be, assuming Peter is taken to the same place mom, dad and Lucius are going to. We can save them," I finished my explanation. I tried taking apart the remote and tried to wire it into the car itself. After about 2 hours of working with the wires, I managed to put the GPS from the remote on the car's screen.

"Incredi-Mobile, follow the tracker's signal," I instructed the car. The car then took off driving, trying to find the fastest path to Peter's location. It took a few hours to get close to where the car said Peter was. Which took us to the edge of a dock by DevTech.

"They're on the ocean?! How are we gonna get on the ocean?!" I asked, Dash shrugged.

"It's not the Incredi-Mobile has a boat mode," Dash said. Then the car revved back and throttled into the ocean, the tires folded in and the windows closed. The car wad now rocketing across the ocean towards Peter's location.

"IT HAS A BOAT MODE!" Dash shouted in childlike excitement. The sun was now rising, the sky gradually turning to orange and blues and purples. Dash grabbed Jack Jack and held him, as I kept an eye on the screen to see when we would get close enough to see Peter on the map. We were keeping pace with the boat now, right next to it and it said Peter was there on the boat.

"Now how do we get there?" I asked. Dash looked and saw that the Incredi-Mobile has ejector seats, and got this big grin on his face.

"Incredi-Mobile. Ejector Seats! Maximum Power!" Dash cheered. We were jettisoned out of the car and landed onto the boat. We were sneaking around the recreation parts of the boat and on a small television....we saw them. Mom...dad...uncle Lucius all had their suits on...with those haunting goggles on. Peter though....he looked completely different. He was wearing a fully black suit...with a giant white spider stretching across the front. His lenses...glowing the same blue as the goggles.
