The Battle for the Pulsar Cannon

It had all gone so well that speech Cobra Commander planned for the United Nations. He had just started the demonstration in order to inspire fear into the delegates.

"Behold the power of the Pulsar Cannon!" Cobra Commander laughed as the cannon shot off a brief energy blast. "And don't expect GI Joe to come to the rescue! As you can see they are…." He looked at the monitor and saw the Joes, the X-Men and the Misfits thoroughly routing his soldiers. "We'll be right back. Due to technical difficulties this transmission is now over!"

He turned to his men. "CAN'T ANYBODY KEEP THOSE FOOLS UNDER CONTROL?" Then there was a huge explosion and he saw the Joes and the mutants run into the room. "Apparently not."

"Here we go," Roadblock shouted. "YO JOE!"

"Commander I think its time for a strategic retreat," Destro said.

"For once noble Destro you have the right idea!" Cobra Commander and Destro ran away leaving their lackeys to fight a doomed battle. However as they ran down the hallway they managed to run smack into a very ticked off Rogue.

"Going somewhere boys?" She snarled as she prepared to beat the living daylights out of them.

However she didn't see Zanya sneak up behind her and blast her with the Sonic Incapacitatior. "Great timing Zanya," Destro commended her.

"Come on," Zanya stepped over Rogue's body. "I'll pilot you out of here."

"What about your Dreadnoks?" Destro asked her as they ran.

"They can fend for themselves," She said. "They can't screw everything up!"

Meanwhile the Joes were just about to secure the Pulsar Cannon when something crashed into the room. That something turned out to be the bodies of Low Light and Magneto fighting. "Everybody back off!" Hawk told them. "Let Low Light handle this! Secure the Cannon!"

"I don't think so!" Magneto roared as he threw Low Light off him into a crowd of Joes and X-Men. Then he used his powers to use all the metal objects in the room to tie keep them incapacitated. While Kitty and Kurt were freeing the others, Magneto went to the Pulsar Cannon and started to lift it up.

"I'll be taking this is if you don't mind," He said. "WHAT?" He saw Emma Frost shoot out from her hiding place and climb on the cannon.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Emma shouted. "NOT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SOURCE OF POWER!" She grabbed the stone in the center that powered the machine. An enormous light bathed the entire room. She screamed and fell backwards.

Magneto growled and used his powers to open a hole in the roof of the castle. "STOP HIM!" Hawk shouted. "Use your weapons to destroy the cannon!"

But Magneto had flown it too high for them to hit it. He did however his powers to weaken the support beams of the castle. "It's coming down!" Roadblock shouted. "Let's get out of town!"

"THE CANNON'S GONE!" Pietro snapped.

"Yeah and three guesses who took it!" Althea pointed as she saw a tiny speck fly off into the distance.

"Magneto, great," Roadblock groaned. "Let's get out of here before its too late!"

Everyone in the castle ran to make a break for it. "Let's go, go, go!" Hawk shouted.

"I got Stripes!" Logan appeared carrying an unconscious Rogue.

Jean then saw the Dreadnoks making a break for it. "I see a few rats that need to be taken care of!" She said flying over to them.

"Oh great!" Buzzer gulped. "It's one of those X-Babies!"

"This will cut her down to…" Jean easily knocked the weapon out of his hand. "Size?"

"You are so busted," Jean grinned.

Just then a falling rock knocked Jean from behind. She collapsed to the ground unconscious. "Well that was lucky," Buzzer said.

"She's out cold," Ripper said. "Do we take her to Cobra Commander or do we just kill her now?"

"Nah," Monkeywrench sneered. "I just got a better idea. I've heard of this place that will pay top dollar for a pretty little freak like her. Why should Zanya make all the cash making decisions? Grab a restraining collar and let's go!" They took off with Jean.

Needless to say the castle collapsed and was completely destroyed. "Bragg!" Low Light looked around in anger. "Where did that bastard run off too! He won't get away again!"

"He got away," Roadblock placed his hand on his shoulder. "We'll get him another day! Come on, we gotta see if everyone's all right Low Light!"

Reluctantly Low Light obeyed. They all went off to check up on the others and count the few Cobras they captured, unaware of what was happening back in what was left of the castle.

Underneath the rubble something stirred. A hand encased in a hard diamond like shell broke through. Emma crawled her way out of the rubble. Her entire body was covered in a diamond like skin. "Well isn't this interesting?" She mused as she looked herself over. "This might come in handy someday."
