History Fanfic / RiseOfTheGaleforces

* TerrorDactyl: Adam's pterosaur form, whose alias is actually "Terrordactyl", is labelled a ''Pteranodon'', but barely looks like one; it has teeth and a long, ''Rhamphorhynchus''-like tail.

** PteroSoarer: Despite being billed as a ''Pteranodon'', Adam's pterosaur form [[http://fav.me/d3jrbr5 barely even looks like one.]] However, both he and WordOfGod clearly {{handwave}} this as being a genetically-engineered Aperture bio-weapon.

** Taking all the above into consideration, this leaves Adam as the only member of the Squall family without a comic book analogue. Instead, his powers and personality are more likely akin to [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Jacob Black]], though with a PteroSoarer in place of a wolf.

%%* GiantFlyer: Adam's PteroSoarer form.

* LegoGenetics: Aperture's technology is based on this. It's one of the reasons why they can construct Adam, [[spoiler:Sarah's PteroSoarer OppositeSexClone,]] using Pteranodon DNA.

* MakeMeWannaShout: ANYONE who has sound manipulation as part of their abilities usually uses it to knock mooks away. Most Supers use the MakeMeWannaShout variety, but Adam can also use the GaleForceSound version, sometimes combined with WindFromBeneathMyWings in his PteroSoarer form.

** Chapter 21: [[PteroSoarer "It's a bird cage."]]

->'''Sarah:''' I blushed, naturally. An entire team named after me? They shouldn't have. "Aww, thanks guys," I said. "But even if the team is named after me, I want this to be about all of us. And if Mr. Incredible is ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''' leader, Splashdown should be The Galeforces' leader."

''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles: Rise of the Galeforces'' is a fanfiction collab by Troper [=Geosternbergia=], known on deviantArt as [[http://shadow-aspect.deviantart.com/ Shadow-Aspect]], and fellow deviantArt compatriot [[http://georgemiser.deviantart.com/ georgemiser]]. explores the backstories and histories of a majority of the late Supers mentioned during the Incredibles movie.

[[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Violet and Dash Parr]], sibling Supers in training, receive a call from [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Aperture Science and Technology]] about an important project downtown. What they find is a discovery that will change their lives forever -- a cloning facility housing the late Supers from the Golden Era. Narrowly escaping from the lab with their lives, they meet one of the clones, Sarah Squall a.k.a. Stratogale, and help her reunite with the rest of her family.

-->-- [[AuthorAvatar Adam]], [[ActionMom Kate]], and [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Sarah Squall]], naming the new SuperFamilyTeam in town.

''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles: Rise of the Galeforces'' is a fanfiction collab by Troper [=Geosternbergia=], known on deviantArt as [[http://shadow-aspect.deviantart.com/ Shadow-Aspect]], and fellow deviantArt compatriot [[http://georgemiser.deviantart.com/ georgemiser]]. It all started with a comment on one of Shadow-Aspect's deviations, but what blossomed was a fanfiction that explores the backstories and histories of a majority of the late Supers mentioned during the Incredibles movie far better than anything cranked out by the NSA. Although it was a relatively local fanfic, it speculates about what the past Supers' lives may have been like, and it certainly was more comprehensive than all of the NSA files on the bonus DVD put together.

Unfortunately, the fanfic was plagued by massive characterization issues, mostly stemming from a character who was stated to be Sarah's brother, as well as [[MegaCrossover a ton of confusing crossover elements.]] Geosternbergia's [[SmallNameBigEgo then-inflated ego]] did not help matters as said character became increasingly prominent; this eventually came to a head near the end of the fic, when the already tenuous plot finally imploded upon itself, with disastrous and rather gruesome results. Despite promoting the strengths of the fic over the years, Geo eventually tired of it after realizing how flawed it was. He eventually took the time to spork/critique the fic himself upon joining the WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum, during which one of his agents had a bit of an identity crisis when encountering the fic's badly written characters.

The full story is available for reading [[http://shadow-aspect.deviantart.com/gallery/30890410/The-Incredibles-Rise-of-the-Galeforces here.]] The PPC mission critiquing this fic was posted [[http://armorbirdpress.tumblr.com/post/100008990058/rc-227-mission-1-connecting-the-dots-complete on Tumblr]] in 2014, with two re-released editions uploaded on [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14388186 ArchiveOfOurOwn]] and [[https://www.deviantart.com/skarmorysilver/art/PPC-Connecting-The-Dots-COMPLETE-MANUSCRIPT-891266452 DeviantArt]].

--> '''Adam:''' [[ShoutOut "You're awfully small]] [[{{Literature/Twilight}} to be so hugely irritating."]]

** Taking all the above into consideration, this leaves Adam as the only member of the Squall family without a comic book analogue. Instead, his powers and personality are more likely akin to [[{{Literature/Twilight}} Jacob Black]], though with a PteroSoarer in place of a wolf.

* CasualDangerDialog: Guaranteed whenever Adam's around.

* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:Violet is [[{{Animorphism}} transformed into a]] ''[[KingOfTheDinosaurs T. rex]]'' in Episode 4, and promptly goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge that leads to the deaths of both parties responsible]].

* CriticalResearchFailure: InUniverse example. [[spoiler:Ludlow intends to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy all species apart from humans.]] ''All of them.'' Such a {{plan}} will be doomed to fail regardless of whether or not he is stopped in time for two reasons. Firstly, as is pointed out a few times, humans are apex predators and depend on so many nonhuman species that wiping them out would render them extinct by default. Secondly, there are 8.7 ''million'' species, along with 5-10 million bacteria. Add to that the additional fact that at least a few would adapt and survive the outcome, and even a kindergartener's knowledge of biology, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and certainly Violet's high-school level tutelage]], would have instantly made such a plan theoretically impossible.]]

* TheChewToy: Whenever Adam is in the vicinity of anything to do with [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs dinosaurs]], you know for sure that he'll get the worst of it.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: [[ZigZaggedTrope Yes, and no.]] Prehistoric creatures both antagonize and aid the heroes throughout the story -- [[spoiler:and Vi eventually gets to turn into a T.rex to take on the BigBad.]]

* StockDinosaurs: Mostly [[PrehistoricMonster carnivores]], [[RuleOfCool since that's kind of what Aperture wanted.]] ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', ''Deinonychus'', and ''Pteranodon'' all get their DayInTheLimelight throughout the story. Other StockDinosaurs to appear include ''Apatosaurus'', ''Triceratops'', ''Stegosaurus'', ''Archaeopteryx'', ''Dilophosaurus'', ''Spinosaurus'', ''Carnotaurus'', ''Allosaurus'', and ''Tylosaurus''. A ''Plesiosaurus'' also makes a cameo in Episode 3.

* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:Violet subverts this trope, the consequences ultimately [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge prove fatal]] for the final BigBad.]]

* {{Tykebomb}}: [[spoiler:[[BigBad Ludlow]] attempts to turn Violet into a combination of BalefulPolymorph and this. [[SubvertedTrope Violet is not amused,]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge to say the least.]]]]

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Most of the dinosaurs that show up are StockDinosaurs but who would have expected ''Platecarpus'', ''Ornithocheirus'', and ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mawsonia_(fish) Mawsonia]]'' of all species to have minor roles and cameos?

* BloodierAndGorier: [[spoiler:Shows slight shades of this in Episode 1, tones it town in Episode 2, flaunts it more obviously in Episode 3, and finally takes it UpToEleven in Episode 4.]]

** [[spoiler:''[[UpToEleven ALL]]'' of the characters participating in the story end up suffering from varying degrees of this trope when Ludlow, in full view of everyone, is devoured alive by the ''T. rex'' trio.]]

%%* LetsGetDangerous: [[UpToEleven Everybody.]]

* UnstoppableRage: Calling Adam a "dinosaur" will lead to this trope, [[spoiler:especially after he's been ForcedToWatch his girlfriend being brutally tortured. He breaks out of his holding tank as a result, leading to a rare moment when Ripper actually ''flees'' the scene.]] Taken UpToEleven when [[spoiler:Violet discovers how messed up Ludlow truly is. Since she happens to have been turned into a six-ton T. rex that's ImmuneToBullets, well...]]

** [[spoiler:And in the actual timeline, both of the {{Big Bad}}s.]]
* AuthorAppeal: Tickling. Lots and lots of tickling. Mostly of feet. Also, dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

%%* BackFromTheDead

%%* CuteBruiser: Sarah,
%%* DeadpanSnarker: Adam and Vi
%%* DeusExMachina: [[spoiler:The Cretaceous lily, complete with a ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' reference. Though to be fair, [[ChekhovsGun it did make one previous appearance]], in which Vi had sent it to Adam as a bouquet.]]%%How is it a deus ex machina?
%%* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Ripper.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Ludlow gets hit by this after revealing himself to be an OmnicidalManiac and an abusive JerkAss. First Stormicide, then Ripper, then Violet, then the baby T. rexes all turn on him in rapid succession - and the latter even play this trope [[FedToTheBeast in a horrifyingly literal fashion]], ''onscreen'' no less.]]

%%* EarnYourHappyEnding

%%* FossilRevival
%%* GeneticMemory

* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:Violet is [[{{Animorphism}} transformed into a ''T. rex'' in Episode 4, and promptly goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge that leads to the deaths of both parties responsible]].

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Ludlow goes through a rather disturbing one after Violet forces him through an epic HumiliationConga in Episode 4. After all of his contingency plans fail, he shoots her in the back, and when she is revived, he sings "Rock of Ages" and starts hallucinating about going to heaven. Too disgusted with the guy to want anything to do with him at this point, Violet sics the baby tyrannosaurs on him, and the last thing he hears is his own terrified screaming as [[FedToTheBeast he is ripped to shreds and devoured alive.]]]]

* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: According to Helen? [[GenreSavvy "Everything."]]
* WhoWritesThisCrap: [[spoiler:Well, [[AuthorAvatar Adam]] does, and he is ''not'' happy with the result. He even writes his confession that he regretted writing Ludlow into the story into his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.]]

%%* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Violet pulls a [[ScaledUp literal]] version]] in Episode 4.
%%* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:Violet.]]

* ShockAndAwe: Dash. [[FridgeBrilliance Well, what did you think he'd do with all that static electricity he would have accumulated through all that running?]] And Thunderhead, [[MeaningfulName naturally.]]

* SlasherSmile: Velociripper. [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily Dear lord,]] ''VELOCIRIPPER.''

* FunnyAneurysm: In-universe example. In Chapter 7, Sarah and Adam go into a detailed discussion about deinonychosaur portrayal, complete with a monologue from Adam taken almost word-for-word from Alan Grant's monologue about raptors near the beginning of the first JP movie. This conversation comes back to haunt Sarah in Chapter 8, [[spoiler:when they meet [[FeatheredFiend Velociripper]] for the first time.]]

** RaptorAttack: The ''Deinonychus'' are oversized, featherless, and seriously deformed. Velociripper, however, is clearly stated to have [[FeatheredFiend bird-like, blood-red plumage,]] which leads into the FunnyAneurysm moment above.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Franchise/DonkeyKong and friends, naturally.

* MadeOfIron: Almost EVERYTHING Adam goes through [[InfantImmortality would have killed a grown man]]. Justified in that he has a HealingFactor as one of his powers.

* BreakTheCutie: Sarah early on in Episode 4, when [[spoiler:she is separated from her family and is forced to watch the plot spiraling off a cliff due to Ludlow's "intervention." Ludlow also tries to invoke the trope on Violet by turning her into a TyrannosaurusRex, [[BewareTheNiceOnes and predictably he fails miserably.]]]]

* MightyRoar: By none other than the king ([[spoiler:and later, [[ScaledUp queen]]]]) of Hollywood roars, ''TyrannosaurusRex.'' It's even used to cap off the epilogue after a partial TitleDrop.

** At the start of Chapter 17, Violet has a nightmare in which she's in the scene in the first ''Film/JurassicPark'' movie when the ''TyrannosaurusRex'' breaks out of its pen; she only has a moment to scream in terror when she sees the [[RedEyesTakeWarning blood-red eyes]] staring straight at her. She gets another OhCrap moment later in the same chapter [[GutPunch when a]] ''[[GutPunch real]]'' [[GutPunch T. rex shows up]].

''[[ThatsNoMoon It was]] [[HollywoodChameleons not a]] [[TyrannosaurusRex rock.]]''

* StockDinosaurs: Mostly [[PrehistoricMonster carnivores]], [[RuleOfCool since that's kind of what Aperture wanted.]] ''TyrannosaurusRex'', ''Deinonychus'', and ''Pteranodon'' all get their DayInTheLimelight throughout the story. Other StockDinosaurs to appear include ''Apatosaurus'', ''Triceratops'', ''Stegosaurus'', ''Archaeopteryx'', ''Dilophosaurus'', ''Spinosaurus'', ''Carnotaurus'', ''Allosaurus'', and ''Tylosaurus''. A ''Plesiosaurus'' also makes a cameo in Episode 3.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Stormicide, and later [=GLaDOS=]. The former's husband Dynaguy would also qualify if it weren't for the revelation that he was in fact a ReverseMole.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Both Adam and Vi, but Adam especially. [[spoiler:Until you realize how badly written they really are...]]

* BadassAdorable: All of the children, but especially the younger 'uns. Vi seems to lean more towards Badass {{Adorkable}} [[spoiler:until she gets turned into a ''T. rex'']].

* DinosaursAreDragons: Terrordactyl subverts this trope due to his friendly nature, but [[spoiler:V-Wrex, a savage, spiky TyrannosaurusRex who isn't afraid to kill and eat the soldiers who antagonize her, plays it so straight, it's scary. Her SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome at the end of the final battle is even accompanied by [[StuffBlowingUp the HMS Kraken exploding]] behind her!]]

* [[AndroclesLion Androcles Pterosaur]]
** [[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=], of all characters, pulls this trope later in Episode 4, courtesy of Neo.]]

* BackFromTheDead

** '''NEVER''' call Adam a [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology dinosaur.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: We ARE dealing with superheroes here...

* BrainBleach: Several times in Episode 4, most notably when [[spoiler:Ludlow dies.]]

* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:Ludlow.]] Described under HumiliationConga.
* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler:Ludlow's abusive behavior towards the [[DinosaursAreDragons tyrannosaurs]] is a near-literal case of this trope with deadly consequences.]]

* CaptainErsatz[=/=]{{Expy}}

* ClonesArePeopleToo: Probably the reason why this fanfiction exists.
* CowardlyLion: Kate.
--> "Spiders! Spiders everywhere! AAAAAAAAAAAH! There's one in my hair!!!"

* CuteBruiser: Sarah,
* DeadpanSnarker: Adam and Vi
* DeusExMachina: [[spoiler:The Cretaceous lily, complete with a ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' reference. Though to be fair, [[ChekhovsGun it did make one previous appearance,]] in which Vi had sent it to Adam as a bouquet.]]

** [[spoiler:''[[UpToEleven ALL]]'' of the characters participating in the story end up suffering from varying degrees of this trope when Ludlow, in full view of everyone, is devoured alive by the T.rex trio.]]

* LetsGetDangerous: [[UpToEleven Everybody.]]

* MakeMeWannaShout[=/=]GaleForceSound: ANYONE who has sound manipulation as part of their abilities usually uses it to knock mooks away. Most Supers use the MakeMeWannaShout variety, but Adam can also use the GaleForceSound version, sometimes combined with WindFromBeneathMyWings in his PteroSoarer form.

* MegaCrossover: While this is an Incredibles fanfiction, other franchises to be featured include VideoGame/{{Portal}}, WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}, Franchise/JurassicPark, VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry, and many more.

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat:
** [[spoiler:For Ludlow, [[KilledOffForReal generously]] (and [[{{Gorn}} gruesomely]]) averted.]]
** [[spoiler:Before that, played straight for a paragraph or so.]]

--> '''Bob:''' My God... WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!

--> '''David:''' "Oh ''[[PrecisionFStrike FUCK!]] '''EVERYONE OFF THE BOAT!!!'''''"

--> '''Frozone:''' [[Film/JurassicPark Hold on to your butts...]]

--> But then I noticed that the gang leader wasn't looking at me. His gaze was, very, very slowly, turning upwards. That was when we heard a snort behind us. I noticed that I'd been backed into the rock in the middle of the clearing.
--> ''[[ThatsNoMoon It was]] [[HollywoodChameleons not a]] [[TyrannosaurusRex rock.]]''

* [[spoiler:OmnicidalManiac: Ludlow. Holy Hell Creek, ''LUDLOW.'']]
* OneWingedAngel: Or rather, ''two'' winged, in Adam's case. ItMakesSenseInContext.
* [[spoiler:OppositeSexClone: Adam is essentially this to Sarah. In a rare case, he's actually older by a year or two than his genetic sister.]]
* PeopleJars

--> '''Violet:''' [[spoiler:Did you say what I thought you said? Did you say you wanted to accelerate the mass-extinction we ourselves caused and that we are trying to prevent?

** And Thunderhead, [[MeaningfulName naturally.]]

--> [[Manga/DeathNote "Exactly as planned."]]
* StockDinosaurs: Mostly [[PrehistoricMonster carnivores]], [[RuleOfCool since that's kind of what Aperture wanted.]] ''TyrannosaurusRex'', ''Deinonychus'', and ''Pteranodon'' all get their DayInTheLimelight throughout the story.
** Other StockDinosaurs to appear include ''Apatosaurus'', ''Triceratops'', ''Stegosaurus'', ''Archaeopteryx'', ''Dilophosaurus'', ''Spinosaurus'', ''Carnotaurus'', ''Allosaurus'', and ''Tylosaurus''. A ''Plesiosaurus'' also makes a cameo in Episode 3.

* TickleTorture[=/=]FriendlyTickleTorture: [=GLaDOS=] loves to use this interrogation method on her test subjects, and there are a few playful tickle scenes as well.

* UnstoppableRage: Calling Adam a "dinosaur" will lead to this trope, [[spoiler:especially after he's been ForcedToWatch his girlfriend being brutally tortured. He breaks out of his holding tank as a result, leading to a rare moment when Ripper actually ''flees'' the scene.]]
** Taken UpToEleven when [[spoiler:Violet discovers how messed up Ludlow truly is. Since she happens to have been turned into a six-ton T. rex that's ImmuneToBullets, well...]]

* [[YankTheDogsChain Yank The Tyrannosaur's Chain]]: [[spoiler:After nearly a dozen chapters of hard effort, Violet has finally wiped out both of the antagonistic armies and gotten her powers back. She's about to share her FirstKiss with Adam... when Ludlow reveals himself to be NotQuiteDead by blowing a hole in Vi's torso from behind, for no reason whatsoever. The poor girl is understandably insulted.]]
