Adam: I looked at Sarah, aka Stratogale. Stratogale... Gale-force winds... Galeforces. "Would Galeforces sound good?" I asked.
Kate: "Yeah, it does sound good," I said. "It does bring Stratogale to mind."

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 The Incredibles' leader, Splashdown should be The Galeforces' leader."
Adam, Kate, and Sarah Squall, naming the new Super Family Team in town.

Violet and Dash Parr, sibling Supers in training, receive a call from Aperture Science and Technology about an important project downtown. What the find is a discovery that will change their life 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 aka Stratogale, and help her reunite with the rest of her family.

And so starts an adventure of a lifetime. Together, the Parrs and the Squalls, as mutual allies, go through all kinds of good-time heroic action involving ticklish situations, no-holds-barred ass-kicking, and new bonds of friendship. And then, of course, the dinosaurs come in...

The Incredibles: Rise of the Galeforces is an ongoing[when?] fanfiction collaboration by SkarmorySilver, known on Deviant ART as Shadow-Aspect, and his good friend georgemiser. It all started with a comment on one of SS's dA deviations, but what blossomed was a groundbreaking 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. As a Massive Multiplayer Crossover, it also showcases characters from numerous other franchises. Of course, although it's a relatively local fanfic, it does do a very good job in speculating about what the past Supers' lives may have been like, and it certainly is more comprehensive than all of the NSA files on the bonus DVD put together.

The full story is available for reading here, starting from Chapter 1.


Tropes used in Rise of the Galeforces include:
  • Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: Several occur throughout all three parts. Most of them expose relationships and past histories of the various characters involved.
  • Action Girl: Sarah and Kate are the standard Action Girl and Action Mom, respectively.
    • Faux Action Girl: Despite being one of the main characters, Violet doesn't engage in much fighting, and when she does, she mostly plays as the Stone Wall.
  • Adorkable: Both Adam and Vi, but Adam especially.
  • Androcles Pterosaur
  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Dash, and to a lesser extent, Sarah.

Adam: "You're awfully small to be so hugely irritating."

"Spiders! Spiders everywhere! AAAAAAAAAAAH! There's one in my hair!!!"

  • Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying: As in the case of the original JP movies, any and all paleontological errors are justified by InGen's (and later Aperture's meddling with the incomplete dinosaur DNA.
  • Stock Dinosaurs: Mostly carnivores, since that's kind of what Aperture wanted. Tyrannosaurus Rex, Deinonychus, and Pteranodon all get their Day in The Limelight throughout the story.
  • Techno Babble: When Adam talks about the dinosaurs the families encounter, you know he's going to go into great detail about next to every single anatomical and behavioral aspect that is wrong with them.
  • Those Two Guys: Splashdown and Thunderhead. Although they ARE technically among the main cast, their roles are still relatively minor enough to qualify.
  • Tickle Torture: Glados loves to use this interrogation method on her test subjects. It helps to know that this fanfiction originally stemmed from the tickling fandom, so it's only natural that there are a few playful tickle scenes as well.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Where to START?!
  • What Could Have Been: Basically, the authors decided, "What would happen if the various late Supers were resurrected from the dead?" And yes, both hilarity AND reality did indeed ensue.
  • What Could Possibly Go Wrong?: Aperture's entire modus operandi runs on this. It doesn't take into account the Supers that escaped its confines, of course...
  • What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?: Even Velociripper's gestures are overly dramatic - so much as flipping a light switch requires a very exaggerated flourish and a bit of elaboration of his course of action.
  • Wise Beyond Their Years: All of the kids, but Adam in particular. His knowledge of dinosaurs is about neck-and-neck with present day (i.e. the late 2000's) paleontologists, and he knows the behavior of Aperture's bioweapons like the back of his wing - despite this fic being clearly set in 1980!
  • The Worf Effect: And HOW.
  • A Worldwide Punomenon: Nearly all the Super names involve an Incredibly Lame Pun, a Stealth Pun, or some other kind of wordplay.
