Beast War
To Sparky Genocide: Wow. Well, I hope to continue doing Gnawgahyde justice. Personalities were never my strong suit. Love your idea. I may give it a shot! From what I heard, it does seem to me she has a thing for ol' Bucket- Head. I mean, I think she does tell him she fell in love with him in the comics.
To Red Witch: Aw nuts! How the heck do you do it in advance? And if you do it in advance, why do you put up only one chapter a day? Anyway, here's some more fun for you!
To Wizard1: Yup, Mindbender's gonna get it alright! It is true that most of the West Coast Misfits have no history with the X-Men, except for Ace, Rahne, and X23 (And Theresa, indirectly). Ask for which Starr will cast the family spell...*grins evilly* Well, I can't tell you. You'll find out soon. And yes, the idea for this story came from an old GI Joe episode. I thought it'd make an interesting L1701E remake. As for the Dreadnoks, it's true that none of them are very honorable, but they are also none too bright. Think about it...
To Metal Dragon1: I loved the new chapter of "Take the Long Way Home". Great stuff! I hope to see Kid Razor and Tusk in the story soon! Oh yeah, I got the very last chapter of "Birth of a Juke Box Hero" up! Check it out! Where the heck are Firestorm and Blast Radius? Well, why don't we find out...

"AH!" Sunfire bounced off the forcefield, the Wolf-oid on his case. With a growl, he checked his watch, which he set to tell how long he had before the bomb blew. 20 minutes. He cursed in Japanese, then pressed the side of his mask, throwing a few fireballs at the Wolf-oid for good measure. "Dial- Up, come in!" Back at Malibu Base, the Malibu Joe communications officer, the former Japanese operative currently enlisted in the United States Navy codenamed Dial-Up skidded to a console on a swirly chair.
"Dial-Up here. Come in, Sunfire." The Joe responded.
"We have a situation." Sunfire reported. "A forcefield is over the convention center..."
"I've been monitoring your situation." Dial-Up interrupted quickly. "I have been in contact with Dial-Tone and Airtight over at the Pit."
"Sunfire, what're you doing?!" Althea screamed, grappling with the Cheetah- oid.
"Trying to find a way to stop these creatures and get inside!" Toshiro snapped.

"I'm going to get some sodas. Watch over them." Gnawgahyde told his alligator-like nephew. Leathersuit nodded as the Dreadnok walked away. He grinned at the laughing Joes and started flexing his muscles.
"Too bad you norms are gonna choke. I was hoping to give you LOTS!!!!!! OF!!!!!! PAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The mutant Dreadnok flexed his muscles. Kicker got an idea.
"Hey ha ha Leatherbrain hee hee hee why don't you face us in combat?!" Kicker yelled. The other Joes got the idea, despite their laughing.
"Yeah, you're a wrestler. Don't you want to fight us?" Spirit asked.
"Yeah!" Jester agreed. "C'mon, Leatherhead!" The other Joes added on to the taunting. Leathersuit grinned.
"Okay." Leathersuit agreed. He just couldn't resist the offer for a free fight. "Prepare for PAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIINNNNN!!!!!" He flexed his muscles as he opened the cell. "Now to beat you into HEY!!!" Kicker and the Joes beat the mutant Dreadnok senseless.
"How's that for pain?" Kicker grinned. "Let's go! Yo Joe!" The six Joes made their escape. A few seconds later, Gnawgahyde entered, carrying sodas.
"DEAR GOD!!!" He screamed, dropping his sodas. The Australian ran to his beaten-down American nephew. "Hey kid, speak to me!"
"Daddy, Mommy's doing freaky things with the mailman again." Leathersuit moaned dizzily. "Are you going to use the bazooka or the AK-47?"
"Uh-oh." Gnawgahyde groaned.

"Guys, look!" Kicker pointed at a bomb planted on a support beam. The bomb's counter was ticking down. It was now at 23 minutes 15 seconds.
"Aw great! Anybody know how to defuse a bomb?" Jester groaned.
"No." Lady Jaye grumbled.
"Man, I'd kill to have Firestorm and Blast Radius here." Gunbarrel sighed. "They'd know what to do with this thing."
"Blast Radius is a monkey." Spirit reminded. "An insane monkey at that."
"Lady Jaye to Pit. Come in, Pit." Lady Jaye said to her Joe-Com.
"Dial-Tone here." Dial-Tone responded.
"Patch us up to Malibu Base. Get us Firestorm on the line." Lady Jaye said.
"Dial-Up's working on it." Dial-Tone responded.
"Roadblock, you, Kicker, Jester, and myself will free the hostages." Spirit said.
"We'll stay here and try to disarm the bomb." Lady Jaye said, pointing to herself and Gunbarrel.
"Let's go!" Kicker said. The six Joes did their planned assignments.

"YEOW!!!" Thunderbird barely managed to dodge a fire blast from the Komodo- oid, before it got slashed by Red Dragon. "Thanks, Red Dragon."
"No prob." Dragon nodded. The Shark-oid tried to ambush the Red Dragon, but John Proudstar nailed the creature with a hard uppercut. "Now we're even."
"I suppose." The Apache mutant nodded.
"Hey Jabroni! Eat thunder!" Kyle fired an electrical blast at the Bear-oid. The thunder blasts bounced off the creature's skin, thanks to the Blob's DNA providing invulnerability.
"I can't believe this!" Siryn growled as she tried to out-fly a group of homing fireballs. {We got fifteen minutes to find a way inside and get that bomb. I hope Airtight delivers on his promise quickly.}

"Okay, Dial-Up. Get Firestorm here." Lady Jaye said to her Joe-Com.
"Firestorm, tell Blast Radius to stop doing that on my leg!" Dial-Up's voice screamed from the Joe-Com.
"Sorry! He's just telling you he likes you! Bad monkey! Off! Off!" The sounds of spraying were heard. "Okay, where were we?"
"Listening to you get your monkey off Dial-Up." Gunbarrel grinned.
"We need help taking care of this bomb." Lady Jaye responded.
Well, time's going fast! What'll happen next? What was Leathersuit thinking? Can the Misfit teams defeat the creatures and get inside the forcefield? Can Lady Jaye and Gunbarrel defuse the bomb? Find out in the next exciting chapter!
