Welcome to Malibu Base!

Disclaimer: All characters belong to Marvel except for Thunderbolt, Velocity, Gunbarrel, and others. They're mine!

To Red Witch: Footloose, huh? Well, he would be appropriate.

To Captain Marvel: I have, but that idea still remains on the back burner. I may try that in a fic featuring adult versions of the Misfits.

To Wizard1: Well, the events in this fic take place a little before and during "Rockin' New Year". Kyle and Toshi don't really hate each other, they do have more in common than one would expect. Warpath developed the power to fly, not Thunderbird (James also currently has also appeared to lose the ability to speak as well). As for Warpath, I don't think he'll show up yet, but he may be mentioned. And yes, the chick from Police Academy that beat people up was Callahan. I gave John Proudstar a dislike of flying as a homage to how he died in the comics (He was pounding at an airplane that Count Nefaria was flying, and it exploded) BTW, what does IIRC mean?

To Sparky Genocide: Thanks for the ideas! BTW, I saw this one episode of the old Joe cartoon where Quick-Kick meets and gets a crush on this blonde who practiced martial arts, and she wanted to be a Joe. I was hoping to bring her in as a Malibu Joe (And Quick -Kick's girlfriend ^_^). But I forgot her name. What was her name? I got a codename, I just need her real name.

(Malibu Base, off Malibu, California)

Malibu Base was originally a regular military base, but when the Malibu Joes were formed, the base was transformed into what looked like another Pit. The Malibu Joe team consisted of new Joe recruits and some members from the original team. A blond man in a green outfit and helmet stood at the airfield, watching for the airplane. He was born Craig McConnell, but he was a Malibu Joe codenamed Rock 'n' Roll. He gladly accepted the transfer, because it was right near his hometown. Another man walked up to him, clad in a green costume similar to Rock 'n' Roll's, only without the helmet. He was a handsome man with blue eyes and short curly brown hair. A pair of rifles crossed his back, and he had several holstered handguns on him. Guns were his big obsession, and it often made him the object of jokes, especially ones comparing him to the character of Tackleberry in the Police Academy movies. He was a Boise native named Jack Hunter, an Army Sergeant. He joined the Malibu Joes with the codename Gunbarrel as their weapons expert. He had a deadly aim.

"So, are the kids coming?" Gunbarrel asked Rock 'n' Roll.

"Yeah, anytime now." The blond machine gunner replied.

(On the airplane, over Las Vegas)

"Alright!" Kyle grinned as he looked out the window and saw Sin City. "The Thunderbolt suggests we should stop there for a while and do some gambling!"

"Not to mention the showgirls!" Terrell grinned.

"Aw yeah." Ace grinned.

"You would!" Toshi snickered. Theresa ordered Thunderbolt and Sunfire to sit away from each other. She hoped it would cut down on arguments between the two. Sunfire was sitting next to John, and Thunderbolt was sitting next to Terry. Terrell Andrew Mason was sitting with Ace, Ali sat with X23, and Rahne sat by herself. The lycanthrope was asleep.

"What're you reading?" Ali asked X23. The Wolverine clone had her nose in a book.

"The Hound of the Baskervilles." She replied without looking up. She growled when she heard Toshi yell from the seat in front of her.

"You are a moron! Everyone knows Tajiri would've beaten Rey Mysterio!" Toshi yelled from the seat in front of "Athena"'s.

"You saw the match, Sushi! Tajiri needs his boys to help him get the win because he knew that if he faced Rey by himself, Rey would've whooped him, gave him the 619, and then whooped him some more!" Kyle called back.

{I can't believe this...} Theresa shook her head. {Kyle and Toshiro have so much in common. They're both proud of where they're from, they both love wrestling, they both are competent fighters, they're more alike than they'll admit.} The West Coast Misfit leader snickered to herself. She knew that Toshi and Kyle were seated apart, and they were on an airplane in mid- flight, so they were forced to keep the fight at a verbal level. Until Toshi and Kyle started throwing gestures. She sighed.

"Can't you two go five minutes without trying to start a brawl?" She said. The two arguing mutants turned to Theresa.

"No." They said respectfully, then returned to their argument.

"OW!" Toshi clutched his head. X23 had whapped the Japanese mutant upside the head with her book.

"Yipe!" Kyle dodged another book flying at his face. "Hey! Watch it, X23!"

"Can you morons shut up? I'm trying to read!" X23 snapped. Ali tapped her shoulder. "Yeah?"

"I can help get rid of the noise. This is what I do." Ali pulled a CD player out of her bag. "I just listen to some music. Might help drown the arguing out." Alison put the headphones on, and played the CD inside. The sounds of Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff" played from the headphones. X23 shook her head.

"Whatever." She went back to her book, while Alison happily bopped to the music in her CD player. Toshi took a break from his latest argument with Kyle to look at John.

"Are you alright, John?" Toshi asked. The Apache's face was pale white, he gripped the armrests of his seat so tight he crushed them. He looked scared out of his mind.

"I'm not flying I'm not flying I'm not flying I'm not flying I'm not flying I'm not flying..." John chanted through gritted teeth. {This is so embarrassing! Me, a warrior of the Apache, scared of flying! This is insane!}

(A laboratory, somewhere in Malibu)

A man worked feverishly in the laboratory, putting the finishing touches on what appeared to be a surfboard. A panel was open, revealing wires and mechanics. The man appeared to be in his twenties, clad in a lab coat, Hawaiian shirt, and blue jean shorts, with long brown hair.

"Fire me, Stark? Fire ME?! Oh no! No one, but NO ONE, fires Samuel Farley!" The man laughed. "Ooh, this sounds like a blast!" Farley looked at the completed surfboard. It looked like a standard surfboard: black with gold, silver, and blue racing stripes running down the center. The back of the board had three rocket boosters on it, and the bottom had what appeared to be four blue pads arranged like a rectangle along the bottom. It also had a rotatable laser gun mounted on the bottom. It had a fin on top to match the fin on the bottom. "Alright! Now once I get my hands on a costume, I'll make Malibu pay for the stuff this town's denizens did to me! No more will I be just Samuel Farley, disrespected disgruntled former employee of Stark Industries, fired because of downsizing! Now I am Sam Farley, THE SURF MASTER!!!! WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"

(Malibu Base)

The Joe aircraft landed on the airfield. Kyle was the first one out. He grabbed a microphone from his bag, arched his head back, and spoke.

"FINALLY...THE THUNDERBOLT HAS COME BACK TO MALIBU!!" Kyle crowed. Toshi passed by him.

"You've never been to Malibu, you dope." Toshi snickered.

"Ahh, bite me." Kyle grumbled.

"I'm a little nervous." Ali admitted.

"If they're anything like the Pit here, you should be." X23 sighed.

"Where are the women? I need women!" T zipped around the plane, whining.

"Are all speedsters womanizers?" Ace wondered as he left the plane.

"I've never been on a military base before the Pit." Rahne told Theresa as they left the plane.

"I heard that this place is just as mad as the Pit." Theresa groaned.

"Hey kids." Rock 'n' Roll and Gunbarrel walked up to them. "Welcome to Malibu Base! I'm Rock 'n' Roll, and this is Gunbarrel. C'mon, we'll take you to the base commander." The two Malibu Joes showed the kids to the base commander, and they couldn't believe who it was!

Who is the commander of Malibu Base? What madness will happen? What is the Surf Master up to? Will we meet more Malibu Joes? Find out in the next chapter!
