General Bragg's Big Surprise
"Now where were we?" Cobra Commander decided to go back to the broadcast.
"Sir! Incoming chopper!" One of his lackeys spoke before he could start again.
"Oh for crying out loud," Cobra Commander went with Destro and Emma to the helicopter pad. "If it isn't one thing it's another!"
"What's he doing here?" Destro's mouth fell open when he saw General Bragg arrive.
"How should I know?" Cobra Commander snapped. "What is this? Visiting day? It seems like everybody and their grandma is showing up! For a place that is supposed to be deserted and remote we are getting a lot of traffic today!"
"Okay I'm here!" General Bragg chomped on his cigar. "What is so dang blasted important that you called me out in the middle of vampire country?"
"I didn't call you," Cobra Commander told him. "Did anyone call him?"
"Not me," Destro shook his head.
"Me either," Emma told him.
"Well somebody left me a message that I was needed here!" Bragg snarled.
"Oh wonderful," Destro groaned. "Now we have a prankster on the loose."
"Well as long as you're here come on down to our cells," Cobra Commander waved. "I have a little surprise for you."
They walked down to the cells where the guards were slightly amused at listening to the inmates fight.
"I still say we should make a break for it!" Lance snapped.
"Oh yeah and have all the guards shoot us even if we did get out of here?" Bobby said sarcastically.
"Why don't you just bring down the entire castle Avalanche?" Jean snapped.
"That was uncalled for!" Lance glared.
"Will all of you kids please be quiet?" Hawk snapped.
"That's the first sensible thing you have ever said," Bragg swaggered into the room.
"I knew it!" Hawk snarled. "I knew you were in league with Cobra! Traitor!"
"Look who's talking," Bragg snarled. "Stuck with all your mutie friends huh General? That's what happens when you side with mutants!"
"Bragg they're going to use that Pulsar Cannon to create more mutants and wipe out humanity!" Trask yelled. "Even you can't be that low!"
"Don't be so sure," Emma grinned. "Tell me Bragg, how would you like a key position in the New World order?"
"You can't be seriously considering this?" Trask yelled.
"Why shouldn't I?" Bragg snapped. "It sounds pretty attractive to me!"
"You can have a nice pleasant chat amongst yourselves," Cobra Commander said. "I have to go finish a phone call," He left the room with Emma and Destro.
"Just when I thought you couldn't get any lower Bragg," Hawk hissed. "How could you turn your back on your country like this?"
"Because my country turned its back on me!" Bragg hissed. "For nearly all my life I have done nothing but served it and did I get the power and respect I deserved? No!"
"Forget your country what about your species?" Trask snapped. "I thought you hated mutants?"
"I do, but if I can make money off 'em why not?" He shrugged. "I'm not getting any younger and that pension plan doesn't pay nearly enough as it should. At least with Cobra most of the mutants will be under control!"
"You're even lower than the mutants and their allies," Trask snapped. "You'll sell out anybody for the right price! How a man like you got to be a general is beyond me!"
"Simple, he blackmailed a few people," Hawk told him. "Just like he blackmailed people to forget about his involvement in a lab he invested in."
"Really Hawk are you still harping on about that?" Bragg chuckled. "A bunch of homeless street trash freaks? They were better off in the lab. At least there they were useful!"
"And you have the gall to call mutants monsters?" Jean gasped.
"Most of them weren't even mutants," Low Light hissed. "Until those low lifes got a hold of them and fiddled around with their DNA!"
"Yeah such a shame all those poor muties died," Bragg sneered. "You have no proof that the island even existed! What was its name again?"
"You bastard!" Low Light screamed, lunging at the cage.
"Low Light don't!" Cover Girl shouted.
Too late. Low Light touched the bars and an electric current shot through him. Bragg started to laugh. Until he noticed something.
"Oh freaking hell," Bragg's cigar dropped out of his mouth.
"No way!" Bobby's mouth dropped.
Low Light's body was glowing, as if he had become a sponge for the electricity. He had turned golden and glowed with a bright light. "Not all of them died Bragg," He snarled. "One survived…"
