This Means War
"So let me get this straight," Lance asked later. "You've been living underground for like twenty something years with these guys?"
"The Moloids," Mole Man said. "Actually it hasn't been that bad. I've been keeping busy with…"
An explosion rocked the place. "That was not me!" Lance gasped.
"Sir!" Beffle ran up. "We're being invaded by the Netherworlders!"
"The who?" Todd asked. They looked and saw a small army of white skinned lanky humanoids advancing on the city.
"It's Queen Kala!" Mole Man shouted. "She wants to conquer my kingdom!"
"Oh really?" Pietro cracked his knuckles.
"Uh I don't suppose you guys would mind helping me fight them will you?" Mole Man asked. The Misfits grinned and took off. "Well that was easy."
Soon the Misfits were fighting among the strange warriors. "YEEEEHAAA!" Pietro laughed as he zipped through them. "This is too easy! WHOA!" He dodged a red beam.
"What the…?" Althea looked before them. "CYCLOPS?"
"What are you guys doing?" Scott ran up with the X-Men and Amanda.
"What are we doing?" Lance shouted. "What are you doing?"
"We're trying to rescue you from the Mole Man king!" Remy snapped. "He's trying to take over the underworld."
"Uh Hello!" Pietro waved. "We're not prisoners. This Queen Kala or something is the bad guy! Okay bad girl…"
"Don't listen to him!" A woman wearing a red and yellow outfit with a red mask appeared. "He's been fooled by the Mole Man's lies!"
"Hello!" Mole Man appeared. "She's attacking my kingdom! Who's the victim here?"
"He's got a point," Althea pointed out.
"What point? He's lying!" Kitty snapped. "Duh!"
"Uh no she's lying," Fred said. "Du-uh!"
"Gee the X-Men and the Misfits on opposite sides," Lance rolled his eyes. "What a shock!"
Both X-Men and Misfits started to fight each other. As they fought both the Netherworld army and the Moloid army got caught up in it. "Hey watch it!" One of the Moloids shouted.
"Will you dolts be careful?" Queen Kala screamed.
"You're supposed to trash their army! Not ours!" Mole Man shouted. "Oh great there goes my wall!"
"Well I just lost one of my catapults!" Queen Kala said as she saw it catch on fire. "Oh wait now I lost all of them!"
"Oh great now half of my army is frozen!" Mole Man groaned.
"You're lucky, half of mine has a hot foot and a third is covered in slime!" Queen Kala groaned. "Look out for the rock!"
"Ow that's gotta hurt," Mole Man shuddered.
"So these are surface dwellers?" Queen Kala watched the destruction.
"Yeah makes you kind of glad we live underground doesn't it?" Mole Man said. Suddenly the ground shook. "Oh no…"
"Please tell me that was one of your little inventions…" Queen Kala asked.
"No it is not…" Mole Man sighed. He felt something wet on his face. "Huh? Uh is there a leak in the ceiling?"
"Yes there is!" Queen Kala gulped. "HEY KNOCK IT OFF YOU MORONS YOU'RE…"
Suddenly the rock above them cracked and a huge flood of water descended on them. Everyone was washed away in the water. "Uh did I mention we're under the ocean?" Mole Man gasped as he splashed around.
"My makeup!" Tabitha gasped.
"Way to go Avalanche!" Scott shouted as they floundered around.
"Me? You started it!" Lance shouted.
"I did not!" Scott shouted back.
"Will you morons shut up and help us stop the water from washing away what's left of my kingdom?" Mole Man shouted.
Althea used her powers to direct the water around while Bobby froze as much as he could. Jean held the water back using telekinesis until Amara melted the rock to stop the leak. Soon the X-Men and Misfits were helping the two armies recover from underneath the rubble.
"Okay maybe getting these mutants to fight each other wasn't the best idea we've both come up with," Mole Man gulped. "So much for getting them to help me conquer the surface world."
"Ditto for me," Queen Kala grumbled as she lay face down on the ground. "If there are people like this on the surface I don't want to rule it anymore."
"What did you say?" Jean looked at them.
"Wait, both of you guys want to conquer the surface world?" Kurt asked. He looked at the others. "Why are we helping them?"
"YOU'RE NOT!" Mole Man shouted. "Look at this place! Even Kala never did that much damage!"
"Thanks a lot," Kala sat up. Her mask had been washed away. She looked over ninety. "Look what you maniacs have done to me! You've taken away my mask and revealed my ugliness! WAAHHHH!"
"Oh great! You made her cry! Are you happy?" Mole Man snapped at the mutants.
"How did you get so…old?" Beffle asked. "I thought you were immortal?"
"That is a long and tragic tale of woe," Queen Kala sniffed.
"Not another one…" Todd groaned.
