Christmas Chaos!

To Red Witch: Well, here's some more madness for you! I can hardly wait to see your fic with Jesse in it. I was planning to have him be the adult mentor of the West Coast Misfits with the code name of Reflector, but I'll see I might have to change my plans. Hoo boy, what did I do?

To Wizard1: I thought Velocity fit Terrell best. I thought the power to control air and wind would be an appropriate second power for a speedster. Yep, you got the roster down: Siryn, Wolfsbane (If Moira gives the OK), Wildstar, X23 (Who I plan to give a new codename to later on), Dazzler, Thunderbird (Who will NOT DIE), Velocity, Sunfire, and Thunderbolt. I intended the brothers to be different personality-wise. I thought it would be funny for the shy Jake to put up with a bigmouth kid brother. Kyle's more of the cocky loud tough guy type. The kid can fight.

To Kage-robot-of-darkness: Here's another sweeeeeeeeeeet chappie for you!

To Sparky Genocide: Well, Virus is controlling the Mimic right now by using his powers of interfacing. I think the new Misfit "team" has to exorcise the Mimic to free it. But I like the idea with Virus and the Baroness. In fact, I got an idea...

To Raliena: Glad you like the chapter! Keep on reading!

To Aaron: Thunderbolt's personality was partially inspired by my kid sister. She's got a bit of a big mouth herself.

Chapter 9: Mimic's Defeat and A New Team is Born!

Ace and X23 charged the Mimic, claws out and glowing. Mimic cocked it head.

"Oh please!" Virus laughed from the Mimic's shoulder-mounted speakerbox. "You are joking!" Mimic called upon Colossus's powers, sheathing himself in organic steel. With one fist each, Mimic punched out the two ferals. "Now that's a laugh AAAAAAGHHHHH!!!!!" Mimic's metal body was assaulted by a blast of flame from Sunfire and a thunder blast from Thunderbolt.

"Hey jabroni!" Kyle whooped loudly. "Don't you know metal conducts heat and electricity? Sunny and I were hoping you'd do that, you walking copy machine!"

"Don't call me Sunny." Sunfire glared at Kyle, keeping his flames up.

"Whatever, dude." Kyle snickered. Mimic suffered another assault thanks to Theresa. She swooped down, firing a sonic blast from her mouth at Mimic. The bio-droid clutched the sides of its head and struggled to avoid either melting or overloading. Meanwhile, Thunderbird climbed onto the roof of the Mansion, and waited for a clear shot, hatchet in hand.

{Great Spirit, protect my allies...} The Apache mutant mentally prayed as he watched his "teammates" actually face the Mimic.

"AAHHH THAT'S IT!!!!" Virus roared. Mimic fired up a telekinetic bubble that blocked the three mutant attacks. He decided to use Pyro's power next, on Sunfire.

"Yashida!" Kyle called. Before the flames could reach Sunfire, a blue of blue and silver seemed to run through the Japanese mutant, knocking him away from the flames. It was Wildstar.

"Och, the Blob is heavy." Wolfsbane groaned as she helped up a woozy Fred. "Is he sure his X-Gene made him this big?"

"Mrfr Grfr." Blob muttered woozily.

"Hey yo, Copy-boy!" Velocity taunted. Mimic turned. "Come get you some, you leftover pile of microchips! Your mama's so dumb, when she was a kid, she thought the F on a test stood for Fantastic!"

"I really hate him! Get him, Mimic!" Virus roared. Mimic used Pietro's speed, charging toward the African-American mutant. Terrell smirked, and used his speed to run off, forcing the orange-and-red bio-droid to give chase.

"Man, Ace told me you some kinda genius, Virus!" Terrell laughed. "I didn't know they made dumb geniuses!"

"I'm going to rip your head off!" Virus roared.

"Yo Kyle! Get ready!" Terrell called as he rounded a corner. Kyle created a steel chair out of electricity.

"Time to do some jabroni-beatin'!" Kyle grinned. "Yeah!" He threw the chair into the face of the Mimic, then hit him with a Van Daminator. "That steel chair does wonders for your looks, dude. Siryn!" Kyle waved up, then got out of the way. Theresa swooped down and let loose another vocal blast. Ace helped with his claw beams, Sunfire added a fire blast, and Kyle brought the thunder. Velocity created a tornado around the Mimic, to help hold him in place. X23 and Wolfsbane watched.

"Do ye think we should help?" Rahne asked the Wolverine clone.

"Help the others recover." X23 nodded. She looked up at Thunderbird and nodded. The Apache noticed and gave a nod. The feral clone raced to the captured Mimic and charged. She leapt over the small tornado, did a flip, than tried to slash her claws into the speakerbox. Mimic noticed and used his TK to knock Jean away. Thunderbird raised his hatchet.

"May my aim be true!" The Apache teen said to himself as he threw the hatchet. The small axe whistled through the air, and it hit its mark thanks to X23's distraction. With a CRASHHH, the hatched smashed the speakerbox right off the Mimic's shoulder.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Virus screamed. Everyone cut their attacks. The Mimic's eyes turned black, reset, then collapsed. Virus jumped out of the broken remains of the speakerbox, clutching his head.

"That bloody Cherokee!" Virus roared.

"I am an Apache!" Thunderbird hollered as he came down the wall.

"I don't know who you clowns are, but I will return! And I will get my beloved!"

"Oh have we got a gift for you!" Althea and Todd ran to Virus. And started pounding every square inch of his body. "Merry Christmas, Virus!" Wanda walked calmly to the beating.

"Hang on a second." She said. Al and Todd stopped beating. Wanda nailed Virus with a kick to the groin. "Happy Hanukkah!"

"OWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Virus screamed as the beating continued. "WHYYYYYY?!?! WHY DOESN'T SHE LOVE MEEEEEEEE?!?!?!?!" Craig gained an evil grin when he saw Sean, Tony, and Beast get up.

"Hey guys!" Craig called to the three leprechauns. "Virus said that Ireland sucks!"

"WHAT?!?!?!" The three roared. They raced towards Virus and gave him a beating of their own.

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Virus screamed. With one mighty punch, Iron Man sent Virus flying.

(Cobra HQ)

The Baroness has having a shower in her room when she heard a CRASH!!!

"Vat?" She said to herself, then she peeked out the curtain. Virus had crashed through the wall. The disoriented mutant the pulled the curtain back when trying to steady himself.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" The Baroness screamed bloody murder. Virus got shocked back to reality.

"What whoa..." Virus gawked. Several seconds later, one could spot a crying Virus being chased by a towel-wearing Baroness, holding a big monkey wrench.

"Come back here so I can pound you, you perverted nerd!" The Baroness shouted.

"Whyyyyy?!" A teary-eyed Virus whined. "All I wanted was Althea for Christmas. Why me?! What'd I do?" He passed by a depressed Zanya.

"He's not the only one who wants something for Christmas." She sighed longingly, looking at a picture of Starchild.

(The X-Mansion)

The X-Men, Misfits, and Avengers welcomed the new mutants to the Christmas celebration, despite the fact that Sunfire and Thunderbird did not celebrate Christmas. The kids all got to know each other, and drive each other crazy. Jake noticed Razor wrap up an object, and put a tag that said on it: "TO: Jubilee. From: Razor" on it.

"I thought you hated that Jubilee girl." Jake said in puzzlement. Razor stared at the present for a minute before he sighed.

"The Kid of Rock doesn't really hate her. She just drives me nuts at times. I remember during the big Halloween party. She made me take her to the ice cream parlor in town." Jake laughed.

"Reminds me of Jennifer. I think there's something in the air here." Jake snickered. "Y'know, I heard that Wasp is considering adding Jubilee to the Avengers' roster." Razor's eyes widened.

"Aw heck naw!" Razor ran off. "Wasp! Where are you! Wasp!" Jake snickered.

"Gets 'im every time!" Jake laughed. He looked at what Razor was wrapping. "Oh she will love that." He then noticed mistletoe over his head. He turned around and saw an evilly-grinning Jennifer. "Aw no."

"Kissy time!" Jenny grinned.

"AAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Jake ran away. Meanwhile, Theresa, Ace, X23, Rahne, and the allies Ace had gathered were talking.

"A team?" Toshi said in disbelief. "You want us to form a new team?"

"Yeah." Ace grinned. "That's the idea."

"I like it." Ali nodded with a smile. "Theresa can lead. She's the best qualified."

"Well, me father was in Interpol." Theresa grinned.

"This sounds interesting." Thunderbird admitted. "Count me in."

"Yo, I love it! I'm in!" Terrell grinned.

"Well, if me mum gives the okay." Wolfsbane sighed.

"Hmm. I'll give it a try." X23 said. Sunfire sneered.

"Forget it." He said. "I will not join a team full of gaijins!"

"What's a gaijin?" Dazzler scratched her head.

"'Gaijin' means 'Westerner' in Japanese." Ace explained.

"I am the living representative of everything great about Japan!" Sunfire snapped. "I will not bow to a bunch of Americans!"

"Hello, I'm Irish." Theresa waved.

"And I'm Scottish." Rahne added.

"And X23 is Canadian." Ace added.

"What makes you say that?" X23 asked in disbelief.

"Well, you were cloned from Logan, and he's Canadian. Therefore, you're Canadian." Ace explained. X23 thought about it for a second.

"I guess you have a point." She admitted.

"I still refuse." Sunfire crossed his arms. Ace grinned evilly.

"You owe me a favor." Ace said. Toshi glared.

"I thought we were even." Toshi said.

"We were. Until I saved you from the flames Mimic tried to fry you with. I saved your life, and now you owe me a favor again." Ace laughed. Sunfire seethed.

"What?!" Toshi growled. He then realized what Ace was talking about. "You are right. You did save my life. I do owe you a favor."

"I ask you to join with us." Ace said. "Think about it. You could represent Japan." Sunfire appeared to be intrigued.

"I'll...try it." Toshi agreed.

"Now that we're a team, what should we call ourselves?" Thunderbolt wondered. The new team thought it over.

"I got one." Paul approached the kids. "How about the West Coast Misfits?"

"West Coast Misfits?" The team asked.

"Yeah. Velocity, Wildstar, and Dazzler are all from LA. Thunderbird's from the Southwest. A few of you are from the west half of the United States." Paul explained.

"It is catchy." Thunderbolt admitted.

"I like the sound of it." Dazzler grinned.

"I don't care." Toshi shrugged.

"It's a name." Proudstar agreed.

"We're a team." Theresa laughed.

"Alright!" Rahne whooped.

"I'll tell General Hawk about it!" Paul said excitedly.

"Hey cuz, you do realize that if the X-Men find out, they're going to go nuts!" Ace laughed.

"Maybe. Maybe not." Paul shrugged, then ran off. "Wait until the others hear about this!"

Well, we just witnessed the birth of the West Coast Misfits! What craziness will happen next? Will the celebration continue? How can this holiday season get any crazier? Finf out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
