To Red Witch: Oh, I'm sure Mindebender used some snake DNA. Are you sure it's a good idea having Arcade in the Misfits? I don't think it is. He might end up secretly building his first Murderworld under the Pit! I personally would make Arcade's madness grow more and more despite Psyche- Out's efforts. Not to mention the fact that as a result, he grows increasingly more and more hateful and hostile towards the Misfits and mutants in general.
To Sparky Genocide: Hmm, tension between the two Misfit teams, huh? That may be a possibility. As for Bedlam, Husk, Angel or Arcade. Well, I have been toying with the idea of having a certain sorceress that Kid Razor wants a few pieces of to magically mess up Arcade's mind, and use him to get Razor's guitar for her. As for the new recruits, Husk will fall under the Starr Family spell. I'd love to hear your ideas for new Acolytes.
To RogueFanKC: Hey dude! It has been a long time since you've reviewed my stuff! Good to hear from you again! I thought you lost interest in my stories! Well, I wouldn't worry too much either. Mindbender's stuff is crazy, and sometimes his projects blow up in his face, so I wouldn't worry. Put me in your Author Alert list, please!

(Mile High Convention Center's parking entrance, one hour earlier.)
A forest green sedan pulled into a parking space. A portly man in a suit with a black pompadour-like hairdo emerged from the car, carrying a briefcase. An assistant ran up to the man.
"Mr. Mondel, allow me to take your briefcase." The assistant said. The portly man smiled.
"Why thank you." He said in a slight French accent, handing his briefcase to the assistant. The assistant smirked.
"No, thank you." The assistant produced a spray can from seemingly nowhere, and sprayed the Frenchman in the face, causing him to fall over, knocked out. The assistant pressed a button on a watch and the assistant's body faded, revealing Virus. He happily held up the briefcase. "Oh yeah." Zartan appeared. He used the powers his mutant gene had blessed him to keep hidden in the shadows. Sadly, the gene also gave him a strong aversion to bright lights.
"Nice job, Virus." Zartan complimented.
"It was easy." Virus shrugged. "Now for the next part. That bloody idiot Mindbender had better have his distraction ready to go. I'm not going to be happy if I have to deal with two bloody batches of Misfits. Anyway, I'll get the info on all anti-terrorist activities they make up, and you blow the place!"

(In front of the Convention Center, One hour later)
Lady Jaye, Spirit, Roadblock, Gunbarrel, Jester, and Kicker accompanied the West Coast and East Coast Misfits inside. The two mutant teams were all clad in their costumes.
"Too bad it isn't a videogame convention." Ace quipped. Kyle looked around at all the dignitaries and assorted VIPs.
"The Thunderbolt thinks this is a jabroni convention." Kyle grumbled.
"Oh stop." Lance groaned.
"I'm hungry." Fred said.
"You ate a whole 6-pound ham before we left, and you're still hungry?!" Thunderbird asked in disbelief.
"Yeah." Fred sighed. "Hope they got a buffet."
"Hey Sushi, anybody from the home country here?" Kyle grinned. Sunfire sneered at the name Kyle called him by. Even though the electrokinetic meant no offense, Sunfire still hated the name Kyle gave him. He also tended to call Sunfire "Sunny", another nickname the Japanese mutant was none too fond of.
"Yes, the Japanese have sent a delegation as well." Sunfire answered, trying to keep his temper under control.
"Quit teasing him, Kyle." Theresa groaned.
"Okay, kids." Jester said. "You know the plan." Rahne noticed that some of the VIPs were shooting venomous glances at the costumed mutants.
"Ah, ignore them, Rahne." Paul grinned, sensing her worry. "They're just jealous."

(Denver, Colorado)
"Ugh. Why do we..." Tomax started.
"Have to transport these ugly things?" Xamot finished with a grumble. They were carrying Dr. Mindbender's creations in a train of truck rigs, decorated to look like a circus train on wheels. "This is.."
"Completely stupid!" Tomax groaned. "Remind me to..."
"Beat Mindbender within an inch of his life!" Xamot grumbled.
"Man, those things..."
"Creep me out!" The twins whined as they turned a corner. {I wish we were facing the Starr Brothers again.}
"I think we need..." Tomax sighed.
"To get really, really drunk after this." Xamot nodded. They heard an explosion and lots of screams behind them. The twins looked behind them.
"Aw no." They groaned together.

(Mile High Convention Center)
"Man, this party is so boring!" Terrell grumbled. He and his East Coast counterpart, Quicksilver, were watching the banquet.
"Nothing has happened so far." Pietro sighed. "Hey Mason, I got some stuff for some pranks." Velocity raised an eyebrow in interest.
"I'm listening." While Pietro and Terrell were planning, the leaders of the two Misfits teams were talking.
"Any signs?" Althea asked Theresa.
"No." Siryn sighed. "I'm beginning to sympathize with the speedsters. They're going nuts with boredom and I think I am too."
"Yeah. I have a feeling Cobra's going to attack, though." Althea nodded.
"They'd better soon." Siryn groaned. "I'm going to be put to sleep with all this boring conversation!"

(Outside the convention center)
Two guards were attaching for anything suspicious. However, they both looked bored.
"See anything?" One guard asked the other.
"Nope." The other yawned. They then heard something flying. "What the?" The two looked up and saw what appeared to be a half-human, half-bat creature with long blond hair swooping down. It had bat wings growing from its back, and it looked slightly feminine. It opened its fanged mouth, firing a sonic blast from its mouth.
What was that creature? Are there any others like it? What'll the Misfit teams do? What kind of pranks are the two speedsters planning? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!!
