"Behold!" Airtight threw off the sheet. The X-Men, Misfits and the other Joes looked in shock and awe at Airtight's creation. "The Samurai-Tron!" Airtight grinned happily at his invention. It looked like a real-life samurai, around 6'8". It was all silver and it carried a pair of katana blades. Airtight held up a remote control. "I was inspired by my interest in Japanese culture..."
"Among other things, like moss, wrestling, the shapes of dog ears, and the study of muffin creatures." Lionheart quipped, causing the other Joes to laugh. Airtight shook his head.
"Okay Lionheart, I get the point. I have too many hobbies. I love it! Anyway, I was also inspired by Japanese anime..."
"Like what, Sailor Moon?" Lionheart quipped. The other Joes really started laughing.
"No actually, the ones with big robots." Airtight answered.
"That only narrows it down to 98% of all anime." Lionheart quipped.
"Man, your sister has a joke for everything." Pietro told Bulldog.
"Told ya. She's got a fast tongue and even faster fists." Bulldog grinned. Davey Boy started sniffing the robot. "Oi! Davey Boy!" The Brit whistled. "Get on back 'ere!" The bulldog complied.
"She must be a riot at parties." Pietro laughed.
"Your dog is very obedient." Ororo noted.
"My powers help." Bulldog grinned. "It's also because I don't think of Davey Boy as my pet. He's my brother, and we've always backed each other up. I trust him and he trusts me."
"Hey, I'm the one with the invention!" Airtight waved his arms.
"Alright, go ahead. If we're lucky, it'll just blow up." Pietro grinned.
"Anyway, I built this robot to help Joes with guard duty. It doesn't need to eat, sleep, or take breaks. With its early warning system, it can alert the Joes. With this remote, a Joe can get it in position and ready for battle. Artificial Intelligence in the robot's CPU allow it to battle for quick analysis of enemy movements."
"Smart, and to the point. Would be nice if he was human." Wanda joked. Lionheart burst out laughing.
"Lionheart's been teaching Wanda the fine art of comedy." Paul said to the X-Men.
"Shut up Paul." Scott grumbled. Jean punched him. "Ow!" Meanwhile, Bulldog was impressing Storm.
"You're from Kenya, huh?" Bulldog asked.
"Yes I am." Ororo responded.
"I went to Kenya. Beautiful country. People there are really nice." Bulldog remembered. "One tribe I saw talked about a white-haired goddess. That wouldn't have to have been you, now would it?"
"Yes, my powers made me a goddess in their eyes."
"Are you sure that was not the only reason?" Bulldog asked. "I mean, you do have the looks of a goddess." Storm found herself blushing. Shipwreck pouted.
"You do have the looks of a goddess." Shipwreck mocked.
"Hope you're watching and learning, Dad." Althea grinned. "Storm apparently finds something interesting about Bulldog."
"He's worse than Burke." Shipwreck grumbled.
"By the vay, how is my dad doing?" Kurt asked.
"He's been doin' more spying. Particularly on women in the shower." Shipwreck smirked.
"Who does he think he is? That dude from Porky's?" Paul joked.
"It seems that a lot of people do have a lot of hormone control problems around here." Craig noticed Lionheart blowing kisses at Barbecue. The Boston fireman blushed and sunk into his seat in the back. "Get down!"
"No." Lionheart razzed Craig and went back to her flirting.
"What was that all about?" Scott asked.
"She's had a crush on Barbecue ever since she first saw him." Todd explained. "It's pretty funny watching him try everything to avoid her."
"One time, he jumped in a barrel full of oil to hide from her. He ended up getting set on fire." Xi laughed. "He looked like a flaming chicken with a Boston accent."
"AH!! HELP ME!! HELP!!!" Paul imitated Barbecue, to the amusement of the Joes.
"Ugh. Can I finish?" Airtight groaned. The other Joes, X-Men, and the Misfits quieted down. As Airtight explained his invention, no one noticed a small fly flying around.

"So, the Joes have invented a new defense mechanism." The Baroness looked at the images that the metal fly in the Pit was sending. She, Destro, Major Bludd, Cobra Commander, and another person were there.
"Indeed. The X-Men and the Misfits are there in full force." Destro observed. "They tend to fight amongst themselves greatly, but they will band together only with necessity."
"We must obtain that metal warrior!" Cobra Commander yelled. "If we can manufacture more and combine them with our BATS, we will be unstoppable!"
"I think that metallic samurai is an insult!" The figure snapped with a thick Japanese accent. He was clad in silver armor, designed to look like traditional Japanese samurai armor. The chest plate resembled the Japanese flag. "A machine cannot duplicate the true grace and power of the samurai!"
"The Joe did say he was inspired by an interest in Japanese culture, Harada." Destro said to the samurai. "He probably felt it was a tribute."
"I do not feel honored by his 'tribute'!" The silver-clad figure snapped.
"Kenichiro Harada." Cobra Commander thought, looking at the silver-clad man. "Also known as the Silver Samurai. A mutant samurai with the power to channel the elements through his katana."
"You drag me from my Yashida clan affairs for a challenge, and it is a bunch of children?!?!?!" Silver Samurai seemed to not like this idea. "Even if they are fellow mutants, their powers are weak. Immature."
"I think not. They may be young, but the X-Men and the Misfits are quite practiced. Not to mention three Joes are mutants. Low Light can transform his body into any substance. The two new recruits are also mutants. Bulldog possesses superhuman strength and the telepathic ability to communicate with any member of the dog family. His younger sister Lionheart can telepathically communicate with cats, and can transform her fingernails into energy claws." Destro told the mutant samurai.
"I have nature under the power of my blade. No mutant can match my powers."
"The mutant called Storm comes close. She can call upon the elements to do her bidding." Baroness replied.
"Bah!" Harada scoffed. "You do remember that Cobra has been working with my clan. I can easily withdraw our business arrangement."
"You'll have to talk to Tomax and Xamot about that." Destro said. He found a katana edge under his chin. Silver Samurai stared at him intensely under the helmet.
"Enough!" Cobra Commander screamed. "Silver Samurai, we asked you to help us on this mission so you can distract the mutants while we get the robo- samurai!" Silver Samurai sheathed his katana. Destro breathed a sigh of relief.

After the meeting, usual business occurred. Scott, Remy, Peter, and Ray were plotting. The X-Girls were chasing Paul. Lionheart was chasing Barbecue. Trinity was chasing Jamie. Shipwreck was chasing Ororo only to get chased by an angry Bulldog. Davey Boy was biting Shipwreck's leg.
"I'm tellin' ya." Craig said to Bobby. "There's a lot of hormone control problems here."
"And girls lament about guys acting like this." Iceman joked.
"Shipwreck, Leave me alone!" Ororo screamed.
"You know you want me, sweetheart!" Shipwreck cried out.
"She said leave her alone, you old pervert!" Bulldog snapped.
"KISSING TIME!!!" Trinity chorused.
"HELP ME!!!!" Jamie screamed.
"Man, no wonder the Misfits love it here. It's a madhouse." Bobby thought as he watched Barbecue try to get away from Lionheart.
"Come 'ere, hot stuff!" Lionheart squealed.
"Help! Crazy Englishwoman after me! Crazy Englishwoman after me!" Barbecue cried for help.
"Where can we get a bowling ball on a military base?!?!" Ray snapped at Scott.
"This is the Pit we're talking about! I wouldn't be surprised if they had a whole alley around here." Scott snapped back.
"Can't we just chase him?" Remy pointed at the squealing X-Girls.
"Okay." Peter agreed. The four boys started going after the girls, cursing out Paul.
"The Pit is no place for someone who is sane." Craig mused out loud, watching Roadblock bang his head on a wall.
"Yeah." Bobby agreed with Darkstar.
"OWWWWWW!!!!!" Iceman and Darkstar watched the X-Girls beat up the X-Boys.
"Ewww. That's not right." Bobby cringed.
"I had no idea the human body could be twisted in such ways." Darkstar tried not to snicker.

At Extensive Enterprises, Tomax and Xamot were sitting in their office, bored out of their skulls. The two twins were watching TV.
"Is there..." Xamot wondered.
"Anything on?" Tomax groaned. He looked over a TV guide. He then started thinking. "That show's lame. That show's really lame. Seen that episode. Hate that episode. Can't stand Celine Dion. Who'd make a documentary about cheese?"
"Anything good on?" Xamot asked.
"No. Try news." Tamox said. Xamot turned on the news.
"The Misfits, the GI Joe-trained team of mutants, have done what international law agencies thought was impossible. They brought down the mutant-killer known as the Viper." Tomax turned off the tube.
"I knew the boss..."
"Screwed up when he hired that dope." Tomax smirked. Their cell phones started ringing. The twins answered.
"Tomax and Xamot of Extensive Enterprises."
"You got cash problems, we fix 'em." They looked at each other.
"We need a new slogan." They said at the same time.
"Hello, dopes." The Baroness's voice came out of their cell phones. "You're needed." The twins sighed.
"Alright." They closed up their phones.
"I think the Baroness just wants..." Tomax started to grumble.
"Us to pick up some clothes for her." Xamot finished the complaint.

"Are you sure it was a good idea to take Beach Head's jeep?" Peter asked Scott. The two were sitting in Beach Head's jeep. Remy and Ray sat in the back.
"It'll be fine. Besides, you guys wanna be rid of Paul?" Scott asked.
"Gambit guess." Remy shrugged. "Remy tired of Chere's blabbin' 'bout how great Paul is."
"No kidding." Peter groaned. His eyes widened. "There he is." They saw Paul walk between buildings, minding his own business. "Let's do it!"
"You gonna die, Starr. You gonna die." Scott cackled as he started the jeep. "WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" Scott drove the jeep, ready to run Paul down. Starchild didn't even notice. "I'm gonna ram 'im!" However, Lady Luck really adored Paul. The jeep barely missed him.
"What the--?" The X-Boys turned and saw Paul continue on his way, not knowing what was going on. "How does he do it?!?!" They asked in shock. They turned around and saw they were heading towards Low Light. "AW SHOOT!!!" They tried to stop, but they couldn't in time. "AHHHHHHH!!!!! LOOK OUUUUUUT!!!!!!"
"Yipe!" Low Light turned his body into metal just before the jeep crashed into him. He was unhurt. The impact sent the X-Boys flying.
"WHOOOOOOOOOOA!!!!" They cried out, then they hit the roof of a hangar with a SPLAT!!! "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!!" They slid off the roof and landed on the ground. "Ohhhhhhhh..." They moaned in pain. Tripwire and Short Fuse ran by, accidentally dropping Sergeant Snuffles in the lap of Scott.
"What is this?" Scott held up the bear.
"DON'T TOUCH MY SERGEANT SNUFFLES!!!!!!!" Beach Head tackled the X-Boys. They were given a lot of pain.
"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! HELLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!! MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I am amazed by you, Bulldog." Storm walked with the Englishman. "You look rather rough, but you're actually quite a gentleman."
"Well, you can't judge a book by its cover, Miss Munroe. And call me Bryan." Bulldog smiled. What they didn't know was that Shipwreck was waiting. He had rigged a large slingshot and filled it with paint balloons.
"That Bulldog thinks he's so hot, huh?" Shipwreck muttered as he pulled back the slingshot. "I'll show that limey Brit! He's gonna learn." He aimed it at Bulldog. "He's gonna learn ya never mess with Hector X. Delgato!" He fired, but something went wrong. A couple balloons landed right in front of them, and the rest landed on Cover Girl.
"SHIPWRECK!!!!" The model screamed angrily.
"Uh oh." Shipwreck's face paled and he ran off. Storm and Bulldog watched a multi-colored Cover Girl chase Shipwreck, knife in the air.
"What was that all about?" Storm wondered.
"That bloody moron Shipwreck thought he was being funny." Bulldog said. He noticed the paint on the ground before Ororo. "Oh." He took off his jacket and covered the paint. "Don't want you to ruin those boots of yours."
"Why thank you, Bulldog." Storm walked across the jacket and Bulldog picked it up, holding it over his shoulder.

"Well, another Joe meeting." Duke sighed. He and Flint were having coffee in the Joe cafeteria.
"Could be worse, Duke. Leatherneck and Wetsuit could be commentating on the results of the big Army-Navy game. Last time they did that, a huge brawl broke out."
"True. Before that brawl, I never knew Scarlet was so adept at fighting with chairs." Duke smirked.
"Yeah, that was an interesting move she pulled off with that chair leg. I think she made that up on the spot." Flint chuckled.

In Airtight's lab, Beast and Airtight were examining the muffin creature. It was jumping about in a clear box. It looked pretty happy in there.
"Well, what have you found?" Beast asked.
"How did you say this thing came about?" Airtight looked in a microscope.
"Craig blasted one of Kitty's muffins with his laser, and it mutated into that." Beast pointed at the creature, who was snoozing.
"I think I figured out why." Airtight looked up, grinning. "You see, I took a sample of the creature, and it's molecular structure was radically different from that of the average muffin. I analyzed one of Kitty's muffins, and I found its molecular structure is radically different from that of the average muffin."
"I knew Kitty was a bad cook, but this is crazy." Beast shook his head.
"It gets better, Mr. McCoy. You see, everything has molecules, even a laser beam."
"What are you saying?" Beast crossed his arms. Hank had some idea of the answer, but he decided to let Airtight finish. The Joe was on a roll.
"The molecules of Craig's eye laser and the molecules of Kitty's muffin combined and formed DNA. Kitty's muffins can be used to create life like Toothy here."
"Toothy?" Beast looked at the muffin creature incredulously.
"Yeah. It's appropriate, and the little guy is rather cute." Airtight laughed.
"You can keep him if you want. Besides, we have enough rowdy animals at the Institute." Beast sighed.
"Gladly, I'll take good care of him. What does he eat?" Airtight cooed at the little muffin thing.
"Just about anything. He tried to eat the students several times." Beast groaned.
"I can imagine." Airtight grinned.
"Hey, guys!" A Joe named Rock 'n' Roll ran in. "Hurry! Duke needs you!"
Why does Cobra need Airtight's Robo-Samurai? Will the Misfits and the X-Men defeat the Silver Samurai? Can GI Joe stop Cobra's latest scheme? Will Shipwreck and the X-Boys get their revenge on Starchild and Bulldog? Will Lionheart get her claws on Barbecue? Will I stop asking these stupid questions? Find out in the next chapter!

"Behold!" Airtight threw off the sheet. The X-Men, Misfits and the other Joes looked in shock and awe at Airtight's creation. "The Samurai-Tron!" Airtight grinned happily at his invention. It looked like a real-life samurai, around 6'8". It was all silver and it carried a pair of katana blades. Airtight held up a remote control. "I was inspired by my interest in Japanese culture..."
"Among other things, like moss, wrestling, the shapes of dog ears, and the study of muffin creatures." Lionheart quipped, causing the other Joes to laugh. Airtight shook his head.
"Okay Lionheart, I get the point. I have too many hobbies. I love it! Anyway, I was also inspired by Japanese anime..."
"Like what, Sailor Moon?" Lionheart quipped. The other Joes really started laughing.
"No actually, the ones with big robots." Airtight answered.
"That only narrows it down to 98% of all anime." Lionheart quipped.
"Man, your sister has a joke for everything." Pietro told Bulldog.
"Told ya. She's got a fast tongue and even faster fists." Bulldog grinned. Davey Boy started sniffing the robot. "Oi! Davey Boy!" The Brit whistled. "Get on back 'ere!" The bulldog complied.
"She must be a riot at parties." Pietro laughed.
"Your dog is very obedient." Ororo noted.
"My powers help." Bulldog grinned. "It's also because I don't think of Davey Boy as my pet. He's my brother, and we've always backed each other up. I trust him and he trusts me."
"Hey, I'm the one with the invention!" Airtight waved his arms.

"Shut up Paul." Scott grumbled. Jean punched him. "Ow!" Meanwhile, Bulldog was impressing Storm.
"You're from Kenya, huh?" Bulldog asked.
"Yes I am." Ororo responded.
"I went to Kenya. Beautiful country. People there are really nice." Bulldog remembered. "One tribe I saw talked about a white-haired goddess. That wouldn't have to have been you, now would it?"
"Yes, my powers made me a goddess in their eyes."
"Are you sure that was not the only reason?" Bulldog asked. "I mean, you do have the looks of a goddess." Storm found herself blushing. Shipwreck pouted.
"You do have the looks of a goddess." Shipwreck mocked.
"Hope you're watching and learning, Dad." Althea grinned. "Storm apparently finds something interesting about Bulldog."
"He's worse than Burke." Shipwreck grumbled.
"By the vay, how is my dad doing?" Kurt asked.
"He's been doin' more spying. Particularly on women in the shower." Shipwreck smirked.
"Who does he think he is? That dude from Porky's?" Paul joked.
"It seems that a lot of people do have a lot of hormone control problems around here." Craig noticed Lionheart blowing kisses at Barbecue. The Boston fireman blushed and sunk into his seat in the back. "Get down!"
"No." Lionheart razzed Craig and went back to her flirting.
"What was that all about?" Scott asked.
"She's had a crush on Barbecue ever since she first saw him." Todd explained. "It's pretty funny watching him try everything to avoid her."
"One time, he jumped in a barrel full of oil to hide from her. He ended up getting set on fire." Xi laughed. "He looked like a flaming chicken with a Boston accent."
"AH!! HELP ME!! HELP!!!" Paul imitated Barbecue, to the amusement of the Joes.
"Ugh. Can I finish?" Airtight groaned. The other Joes, X-Men, and the Misfits quieted down. As Airtight explained his invention, no one noticed a small fly flying around.

"You got cash problems, we fix 'em." They looked at each other.
"We need a new slogan." They said at the same time.
"Hello, dopes." The Baroness's voice came out of their cell phones. "You're needed." The twins sighed.

They turned around and saw they were heading towards Low Light. "AW SHOOT!!!" They tried to stop, but they couldn't in time. "AHHHHHHH!!!!! LOOK OUUUUUUT!!!!!!"
"Yipe!" Low Light turned his body into metal just before the jeep crashed into him. He was unhurt. The impact sent the X-Boys flying.
"WHOOOOOOOOOOA!!!!" They cried out, then they hit the roof of a hangar with a SPLAT!!! "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!!" They slid off the roof and landed on the ground. "Ohhhhhhhh..." They moaned in pain. Tripwire and Short Fuse ran by, accidentally dropping Sergeant Snuffles in the lap of Scott.
"What is this?" Scott held up the bear.
"DON'T TOUCH MY SERGEANT SNUFFLES!!!!!!!" Beach Head tackled the X-Boys. They were given a lot of pain.
"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! HELLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!! MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Well, you can't judge a book by its cover, Miss Munroe. And call me Bryan." Bulldog smiled. What they didn't know was that Shipwreck was waiting. He had rigged a large slingshot and filled it with paint balloons.

"He's gonna learn ya never mess with Hector X. Delgato!" He fired, but something went wrong. A couple balloons landed right in front of them, and the rest landed on Cover Girl.
"SHIPWRECK!!!!" The model screamed angrily.
"Uh oh." Shipwreck's face paled and he ran off. Storm and Bulldog watched a multi-colored Cover Girl chase Shipwreck, knife in the air.

"Could be worse, Duke. Leatherneck and Wetsuit could be commentating on the results of the big Army-Navy game. Last time they did that, a huge brawl broke out."
"True. Before that brawl, I never knew Scarlet was so adept at fighting with chairs." Duke smirked.
"Yeah, that was an interesting move she pulled off with that chair leg. I think she made that up on the spot." Flint chuckled.

In Airtight's lab, Beast and Airtight were examining the muffin creature. It was jumping about in a clear box. It looked pretty happy in there.
"Well, what have you found?" Beast asked.
"How did you say this thing came about?" Airtight looked in a microscope.
"Craig blasted one of Kitty's muffins with his laser, and it mutated into that." Beast pointed at the creature, who was snoozing.
"I think I figured out why." Airtight looked up, grinning. "You see, I took a sample of the creature, and it's molecular structure was radically different from that of the average muffin. I analyzed one of Kitty's muffins, and I found its molecular structure is radically different from that of the average muffin."
"I knew Kitty was a bad cook, but this is crazy." Beast shook his head.
"It gets better, Mr. McCoy. You see, everything has molecules, even a laser beam."
"What are you saying?" Beast crossed his arms. Hank had some idea of the answer, but he decided to let Airtight finish. The Joe was on a roll.
"The molecules of Craig's eye laser and the molecules of Kitty's muffin combined and formed DNA. Kitty's muffins can be used to create life like Toothy here."
"Toothy?" Beast looked at the muffin creature incredulously.
"Yeah. It's appropriate, and the little guy is rather cute." Airtight laughed.
"You can keep him if you want. Besides, we have enough rowdy animals at the Institute." Beast sighed.
"Gladly, I'll take good care of him. What does he eat?" Airtight cooed at the little muffin thing.
"Just about anything. He tried to eat the students several times." Beast groaned.
"I can imagine." Airtight grinned.
"Hey, guys!" A Joe named Rock 'n' Roll ran in. "Hurry! Duke needs you!"
