Thanksgiving Madness!

To Red Witch: X-Turkeys. I suppose you could call 'em that. I guess the mutagen gave each specific turkey a specific mutation. Odd, but neat at the same time.

To JCKIDSMART: Sorry about sounding cliché! I thought nothing like that happened before. BTW, what's Wu Shu? Is that some kind of martial art?

To RogueFanKC: Nice to see you again! How does Jake and Leathersuit know each other? Well, we'll find out!

To Sparky Genocide: Glad you liked my portrayal of Leathersuit. He's a good one. (Leathersuit: PAAAAAAAAAAIIIIINNNNNNN!!!!!) That's an unusual suggestion you got there.

To Wizard1: Well, Hawkeye doesn't have a stalker. Yet. (Razor: Lucky bum! *looks behind him* Aw shoot! *Runs off, Jubilee chasing him* HELP THE KID OF ROCK!!) Ace can't help calling X23 'babe'. It's an old habit. (X23: Time for him to drop it!) And tell Logan he did say "Daddy's little girl" out loud (Logan: Aw NUTS!!) And speaking of Fox, Moonstar's powers in Evo appear to affect nightmares, and for a guy like Fox, a nightmare for him would have Liberace in it! (Fox: Oh God, don't remind me!)

Chapter 8: Battle with the Dreadnoks and the Turkeys!

"Steve Garrett." Jake narrowed his eyes at Leathersuit. "My dad gave you the nickname Leathersuit when you went to his wrestling school to train."

"Yeah, yeah." Leathersuit grumbled. "The dumb name stuck. He kicked me out of the school because I was "too violent"!" Leathersuit grumbled.

"You nearly killed a man, Crocface." Jake glared.

"So how have you been, Jakey? Still having trouble with your...other self?" Leathersuit snickered. Jake smirked.

"Draconis is gone." Jake replied. "It's only me in here." He snickered, pointing to his temple. "I remember the last time we wrestled. I whooped your croc-like tail."

"This time Wildfire, you WILL!! FEEL!! PAAAAAIIIIIIIINNNNNNN!!!!!!!"

"I'll hold off Crocface! You take care of the barfight!" Jake said to the others in his group.

"Are you sure?" Bulldog asked.

"I'm a third-generation wrestler. I'll be fine." Jake laughed. Storm, Logan, Bulldog, Moonstar, and Foxfire left Jake and Leathersuit to settle their business.

"You like street fights, boy? PAIIIIIINNNN!!!!" Leatherneck asked mockingly.

"I've been in a big brawl recently." Jake smirked, remembering his internal battle with Draconis.

"Time for you to feel some PAIIINNNNN!!!!" Leathersuit flexed, then charged. Jake charged with a dragon-like roar. Inside, the group ran into the Dreadnoks.

"Who wants to be shish kabobed first?" Logan grinned evilly, unsheathing his claws with the trademark SNIKT!! Bulldog cricked his neck, Storm's eyes and fists crackled with electricity, and Foxfire's hands went ablaze. However, the Detroit native laid eyes on Zanya.

"Hello..." Fox grinned, turning invisible.

"Fox, where are you?" Moonstar grumbled. Zanya squeaked in shock.

"WHO GOOSED ME?!?!" She roared angrily, making the other Dreadnoks snicker.

"Foxfire, quit it! Now's not the time for this!" Logan snapped, looking in the direction of the invisible Detroit ex-Hellion. Even though Fox's invisibility powers made him undetectable to the naked eye, it did not protect him from Logan's enhanced sense of smell.

"Aw man, I guess I do need to work on my invisiblility." Foxfire snickered as he turned visible. "And I can't help myself. I see a nice booty, and I have to grab it."

"Who is this pervert?" Zanya snarled.

"Jason Fox." Fox bowed. "The ladies call me Foxfire."

"Oh please." Storm rolled her eyes.

"Hey!" Fox snapped.

"Hello Virus." Bulldog grinned evilly. Virus gulped.

"Mommy."

"Whoa! Hey! Watch your wing feathers!!" The She-Hulk snapped as a super- strong turkey grabbed her in a bear hug. "I swear, if your wings go anywhere near my butt, I am going to slap the beak right off your turkey face!" Sunspot speared the turkey, making it drop Jennifer.

"Hey! Stay away from my woman!"

"RAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!" Jake flew over them, in his dragon form. He had Leathersuit in a full nelson. They both looked like they went through a brawl. Jake dropped the croc-like teen, causing Leathersuit to fall and smack into the concrete!

"OWWWWWW!!!!!!!" The crocodile-like mutant screamed.

"Nice to see you, Jake." Jenny smirked, blowing Jake a kiss with a wink. The red scales on Jake's cheeks turned redder.

{Aw, give me a break!} Jake mentally groaned.

"YYIIIIIKES!!!!!" Sam streaked by, a turkey with Cannonball powers pursuing him. Pietro was engaged in a super-speed duel with a super-fast turkey. The other mutants and Avengers were brawling with more mutant turkeys.

"I hope no one plans to make turkey for the dinner." Hawkeye grumbled as he nailed a fiery turkey in the butt with a freeze arrow.

"The Kid of Rock says that this is insane!" Kid Razor kicked a stretchy turkey in the face, then pulled the turkey's beak and snapped it back.

"YIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIOWWWWWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!" Zanya and Virus screamed as they got zapped by Storm.

"Spiders! Spiders! Get 'em off! Get 'em off!! GET 'EM OFF!!!!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Zandar screamed as Dani laughed. She used her powers to make Zandar see spiders. Zartan and Wolverine were brawling.

"Get off me, you cow!!" Bulldog growled as Zarana got a headlock on the English Joe. Torch, Buzzsaw, Ripper, and Monkeywrench fired their weapons. Suddenly, Iron Man and Beast charged in. Iron Man's armor was Scottish- themed, and Beast wore a blue kilt.

"We're here to take out some English curs!!!" They called. The good guys gained some evil grins.

"Hey, the Dreadnoks are English." Storm noticed with a snicker. The Beast and Iron Man unsheathed Claymores. Who knows where they got them.

"FOR THE GLORY OF SCOTLAND!!!!!" They cried out, and they ambushed the Dreadnoks. "DEATH TO ALL ENGLISHMEN!!!!" The X-Men watched as the two Scotsmen wailed on the Dreadnoks.

"HEY!!! OW!!! WATCH IT!!!! MY FACE!!! HEY, THAT'S MY EAR!!! WATCH THE HAIR!!!! OH GOD THAT HURTS!!! OWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Bulldog, you might want to make yourself scarce." Dani noted. Bulldog nodded, then walked away.

"AGGGHHH!!!" Leathersuit ambushed Dragon, then knocked him into a tree headfirst. Jennifer threw a turkey with lightning powers into a wall. The crocodile-like teen smirked at the sight of Jennifer.

"Hey baby, dump that dragon zero and come to a crocodile hero!" He called out to the She-Hulk. Jennifer looked at a downed Dragon, and she formed an evil plan. With a smirk, she sauntered over to Leathersuit, wiggling her hips.

"Close your eyes and pucker up, hot stuff." Jenny cooed.

"Alright!" Leathersuit did so happily. The teenaged Emerald Amazon then nailed Leathersuit with a gamma-powered kick to his nether regions. Every male in the immediate area, turkey, mutant, and human alike, winced and let out an "AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!"

"OWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!" Leathersuit jumped up and down, clutching himself, screaming. "YEOW WOW WHOO OW OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!"

"NOBODY KNOCKS OUT MY MAN!!!" Jenny roared at the crocodile-like teenager.

"Did anyone get the number of that truck..." Jake groaned, holding his head.

"Sheesh, remind me never to get her mad." Ray gulped. The turkey he was fighting nodded with a gobble.

"I think I'm gonna hurl." Hawkeye moaned.

"That was so wrong. So, so wrong." Sam's face turned green.

"Man, I'm glad I'm not that croc guy right now." Jamie wiped his brow gratefully.

Aw man, Leathersuit really got hit hard!! What'll happen next? Can the gang beat the Dreadnoks and the turkeys? Will the insanity continue? Will everyone make it to the dinner and parade? Find out in the next chapter!!!!
