Hotter than Hellion
To Wizard1: You know about John's lovelife? I have no clue, so fill me in! Yeah, Tigra is obsessed with anime. (Razor: Her room is freaked-out, man!) Well, let's just say that one should never insult the She-Hulk's fashion sense. (Jetstream: HELP ME!!! SHE'S GOT A CHAINSAW!!!!!) Of course Monet is stronger than Razor. Kid Razor doesn't have superhuman strength. His powers reflect a rocker on stage, and as a result, his style is all about speed, agility, and movement. As long as Razor's moving, it's hard for opponents to get their claws on him. Don't worry! As far as the Hellions and Emma are concerned, they'll get a beating soon.
To Sparky Genocide: Yeah, my X-Men guide does mention Marius St. Croix. I doubt I'll feature him, though. (Ace: Man, Monet's whole family is psycho as far as I'm concerned!) But it is a good idea! But I don't think Ace will be allowed in the Hell House after this story, at least, in the eyes of the male Hellions.
To Red Witch: I'm glad you like the Pikachu joke! (Razor: Hey Bevatron! PIKA PIKA PIKA!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!) Glad you brought in Spidey! (Razor: I could whoop Spider-Man's red-and-blue, web-spinning butt! He's nothing compared to the Kid of Rock!)

"What the--?" Ace wondered. He and X23 watched the X-Jet reveal itself from its hidden hangar.
"Looks like the X-Men are on a mission." X23 said to Ace.
"Well, Fury said I had to watch 'em! C'Mon!" Ace leapt down and ran towards the jet. To pick up some speed, he started running on all fours.
"Wait for me!" X23 yelled as she followed.
"C'mon, babe!" Ace motioned. "We don't wanna miss our ride!"
"Quit calling me that!" X23 snapped as she caught up.
"Watch me now! Use the claws, babe!" Ace grinned. With one powerful leap, Ace used his claws to cling onto the X-Jet's wing. X23 followed, using her built-in adamantium blades. "By the way babe, what're those claws made of? I'm thinking of getting some."
"They're made of adamantium. Almost unbreakable. And quit calling me 'babe'!" X23 responded. Ace grinned sheepishly.
"Sorry, babe. As I said, old habit. Hard to break." Ace grinned. Luckily, no one inside the jet noticed the crazy two-tone-haired feral and his clawed friend. Inside, the X-Men were flying. The Joes were in a Tomahawk beside the Blackbird. Storm was at the pilot's seat. Foxfire groaned from his seat. He had his trademark red shades, and he had a costume, like the "senior" X-Men: His bodysuit was orange with a white flame stripe running down the center, white boots, white gloves and armbands, and on his chest, he had a tribute to his idol HBK: A red broken heart with a drop of blood coming out if it. He had a mirror in his hand, and he sighed.
"Hey Stormy, hope this mission don't ruin my perfect hair." Fox grinned. Storm groaned.
"Did we have to bring him?" Rogue sighed, pointing at Fox.
"If I didn't come, you girls would've missed me too much." Foxfire laughed.
"Who would attack the Avengers?" Scott scratched his head.
"Zhey do have quite a few enemies." Kurt said. "An Italian crimelord, Ultron, and some weird time-traveling conqueror zhat Clint told me about."
"I, like, don't get it." Kitty said. "If the Avengers are so tough, then why'd they need our help?"
"They said they were being attacked by mutants, and they might need a hand." Storm replied. She then shot a glare at Hank. "No whiskey!" Hank sunk in his seat.
"That's because of the bagpipes, ain't it?" Fox snickered.
"I hope Paul's okay." Jean said with some worry. Scott banged his head against the wall.
"I hate that Starchild I hate that Starchild I hate that Starchild I hate him IhatehimIhatehimIHATEHIM!!!!!"

(Avengers Mansion)
The Misfits teleported in front of the Mansion, and they saw the hole.
"Looks like the Hellions have arrived." Xi noted. Jake sighed inaudibly. His Misfit costume was a black upper body glove with long red wrestling tights attached to it. His boots were yellow, and he had yellow-and-red bands around his lower arms. His costume was completed by a red-and-yellow Ace Frehley-esque chestplate, with a golden cape that reached down to his lower back.
{Those morons!} Jake groaned. {I can't believe they'd do something so stupid as attack the Avengers in their home! Wait a minute! Aw no! I can't be here! The She-Hulk is here, and if she recognizes me, I'm in deep trouble!} Jake moved, hiding behind Althea.
"Is something wrong, Dragon?" Althea asked.
"Uh, no." Jake shook his head. John smiled, putting his hand on Jake's shoulder.
"Don't worry, mate." John cackled insanely. "Stick with me, and things'll be fine."
"HEY HELLIONS!!!" Althea called. "COME AND GET YOU SOME!!!!"
"YEAH!!!" Wanda added. The Hellions emerged, brawling with the Avengers. Meanwhile, Emma walked out the door, dragging a knocked-out Jarvis. She smirked at the sight of the Misfits.
"Ah, the Misfits. The mutants who work for the government."
"Don't try that stuff with us, Frost!" Lance warned. "You couldn't get Low Light on your side!"
"Maybe those other mutant Joes are interested..." Emma put her finger to her lower lip in thought. "What're their names? Bulldog and Lionheart?" The Misfits seethed. Emma smiled when her eyes turned to Jake. "Ah, Jake Wildfire. How was your mission?"
"Mission?" John asked. The Misfits turned, looking at Jake. Jake only bowed his head in shame.
"I'm sorry, you guys." Jake sighed.
"I sent him to watch over you." Emma laughed, oblivious to the flying shields, hammers, energy blasts, and other things around her. She only moved her head to dodge a couch. "He's so loyal."
"Jake, you traitor!" John snapped.
"He'a a dead dragon!" Blob pounded his hand into his fist with a glare.
"I had no choice!" Jake pleaded. "Please! You have got to believe me!" Emma laughed.
"Oh please, Jake Wildfire. You've brought the Misfits to me. Your usefulness is at an end."
"What do you mean?" Todd snarled. The Hellions and Avengers slowly stopped fighting as they heard it.
"It's time to unleash my ultimate weapon." Emma smirked. Her eyes flashed, and Jake clutched his head.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Jake screamed. "NOO!!! I WON'T LET YOU OUT!!!" Jake flew into the air, clutching his head, screaming. Emma laughed.
"You see, my dear Jake is inflicted with a split personality. His normal self, and Draconis, the embodiment of all his rage and all his other negative emotions. I discovered that Jake and Draconis had the potential of being one of the strongest mutants to ever live. With him as one of my Hellions, I'd be unstoppable." Emma's icy blue eyes gleamed as she continued talking. "I convinced the red-haired fool I was actually helping him keep Draconis under control. In reality, I discovered Draconis had the stronger powers, and had the qualities of a Hellion. Jake is much too...kind-hearted. So, I secretly have been strengthening the Draconis personality, and he laid low within Jake's mind, making Dragon believe his personality was under control. How wrong he was." Jen and the other Avengers heard the whole thing.
"You cruel-hearted bimbo!" Jen roared. "You took advantage of Jake's sickness to get yourself a powerful warrior!" The White Queen smirked at the She-Hulk. "I oughta give you a New York beatdown for this!"
"My dear Jennifer Walters." Emma smirked. "You really believe you can stop Draconis?" She looked up with a smile. Jake's screams faded as he landed. They were replaced with an evil laugh. Jake flew down to the ground, but something was different about him. His red hair was now black, and the yellow hair at his temples turned bright red.
"Hello, Misfits." Jake said in a new voice, a darker, more savage voice. He turned to Earth's Mightiest Heroes. "Avengers. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Draconis. Learn it well, for it is the final name you will ever hear." He arched his head back and roared.
"Oh my God! He's changing!" Paul exclaimed. Draconis's skin turned into black scales, and his nose and lips formed a muzzle. His teeth tuned razor- sharp. A pair of black bat-like wings and a sharp-spined tail sprouted from his back. His fingernails grew and turned into sharp claws. His blue eyes glowed bright red, and he grew a foot in height. Draconis laughed.
"I hope you heroes made peace with your maker." Draconis laughed. "Because you'll meet him very soon."

A few minutes later, the X-Jet landed, and the X-Men disembarked. The Tomahawk landed a couple seconds later, and the Joe handlers followed. However, what they saw scared the bejesus out of them.
"Oh my God!" Lionheart covered her mouth in shock. The Hellions were in front of the Mansion, grinning. In front of them, Draconis stood in his dragon form. Surrounding him were the bodies of the Misfits and the Avengers. Their costumes were tattered, and even though none of them were dead, they looked like they took the beating of a lifetime. Draconis had Blob over his shoulders, and he didn't even seem to strain under the massive teen's weight.
"What is that monster?" Shipwreck asked in horror. Kitty, Scott, and Peter nearly hurled at the state of Lance. The X-Boys and the X-Girls were horrified by the conditions of Jennifer and Paul. The X-Men couldn't believe the Misfits could end up in such a state. Draconis laughed.
"This pathetic fat retard thought he could overpower me." Draconis laughed. "Well, here's what he earns for his attempt!" With a roar, the black dragon spun Blob, performing Brock Lesnar's finisher, the F-5. The thud of Blob slamming into the ground was sickening. "They dared to insult my power." Draconis picked up Cap's shield. "I played drums with this. I used the Sentinel of Lameness's head as a drumstick."
"Who-are you?" Ororo gulped. Emma Frost smirked.
"Meet Jake Wildfire's...better half." Emma laughed. "Draconis. The Black Dragon. My new Hellion." Wolverine unsheathed his claws. "I wouldn't try it, savage. You see, Draconis shares a body with Jake Wildfire, a shy young man. You attack him, you hurt the boy's body." Draconis angrily turned to Emma.
"Shares? SHARES?!? This is MINE!!! This is MY body! IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND RIGHTFULLY IS MINE!!!" Draconis roared. "You remember our deal! I'd work for you if you helped me get rid of Jake! I don't need him! He's a pathetic weakling!"
"How come we couldn't sense that?" Xavier wondered.
"I used telepathic shielding." Frost grinned evilly. Foxfire gulped as he looked at the beaten heroes.
{Maybe joining the Hellions was a bad idea.} He looked at Jake. {Oh my God, Jake! Where are you?}
Man, Draconis is one ruthless dragon! Can the X-Men stop him, and the Hellions and free Jake? Will Foxfire reveal his true affiliations? Will he turn his back on Emma Frost? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
