Welcome to Malibu Base!
To Red Witch: Yeah, I remembered the episode. In it, Amber said she wanted to join the Joes someday. I did what you did with Bree and brought her on the team. Oh this will be one insane base.
To Metal Dragon1: Yep, Whithalf's in charge. Let's just say the West Coast Misfits are going to have a lot of fun!
To Wizard1: I doubt Kyle and Toshi will ever stop arguing. I like to think of their relationship as the same one between Wet Suit and Leatherneck: They don't hate each other, they just can't agree on anything. Oh, I haven't introduced the character to be tortured, yet...
To Aaron: Yup, Whithalf is the commander! I thought it'd be funny. Amber was a character from the old GI Joe cartoons. She was a martial artist who was in love with Quick-Kick. She said in the episode she hoped to become a Joe someday. I thought I'd make her dream come true by allowing her to be a Malibu Joe alongside Quick-Kick.

"Are there any other nuts in this tree?" Toshiro grumbled as he rubbed his head.
"I think it's really neat that all of you have special powers. What can you do?" Kicker asked in innocent fascination.
"Ace and I both are feral mutants. We both have enhanced senses, and can quickly recover from any injury." X23 said.
"Athena is a clone of the X-Man Wolverine." Ace explained. "Like him, she has an adamantium skeleton and retractable claws. I have enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, agility, and I can fire energy beams from my claws. I'm codenamed Wildstar."
"I have superhuman strength and endurance." John told Kicker. "I am a proud member of the Apache tribe, and I wish to be a warrior like their ancestors. I joined the West Coast Misfits under the codename of Thunderbird."
"I can surround my body in flames." Toshi said simply. "I can also fly and throw fireballs. In my home country of Japan, I am a national hero and celebrity. I am codenamed Sunfire."
"Be careful around Sunny over here, his temper's hotter than his flames." Kyle quipped with a snicker. Toshi glared at the Boston native.
"Dazzler, my codename, was at one point my stage name." Ali said. "Back home in LA, I sing in clubs, and I use my ability to convert sound to light in my act." To demonstrate, she snapped her fingers, and a tiny flash of light erupted from her fingers.
"She's a human strobe light!" Ace laughed.
"They call me the Thunderbolt! From Boston, baby!" Kyle proclaimed proudly. "The Thunderbolt can generate and manipulate electricity. The Thunderbolt can also use those powers to fly."
"Micro-Mind tends to refer to himself in the third person." Toshi chuckled, getting a glare from Kyle.
"Don't make the Thunderbolt slap those lips right off your face." Kyle warned.
"Well, I lead the team." Theresa grinned. "I'm a second-generation mutant. I inherited me powers from me dad. He's called Banshee because he can generate sonic vibrations. He could use them to fly and scream sonic blasts. So can I, and I became Siryn."
"Aren't banshees, like, chicks?" A confused Wipe-Out scratched his head.
"Me dad gets that a lot." Siryn groaned.
"Miss Rourke, I read your file, and your codename is spelled wrong." Gunbarrel said. "Siren has an 'e', not a 'y'."
"I know. I spell it with a 'y' because it sounds cool." Theresa said.
"Understood. Sorry." Gunbarrel nodded.
"I'm, well...a werewolf." Rahne said simply. "I can transform into a wolf at will. Me codename's Wolfsbane."
"Wolfsbane? What's a wolfsbane?" Wipe-Out scratched his head, making the other Malibu Joes in the room groan. Rahne only gave an "I don't know" shrug.
"I'm Velocity, baby!" T laughed. "I got speed! I can also manipulate wind. The girls want me and guys want to be me! Aaaaaaowww! Get up!" Velocity started dancing, his moves much like James Brown. "I'm black and I'm proud! Hit me! Uh!" Velocity sang.
"His parents were former Black Panthers." Ali explained. Kicker laughed.
"Awww, that's so cute! Just like James Brown!"
"He's my idol!" T grinned. "The man can dance! HEY!!!" T did a split.
"Is he okay?" Toshi wondered.
"He's hyper." Ali grinned.
"Well, we got ourselves quite a bunch of kids here." Gunbarrel nodded. "I think I will like having you kids on base."
"Like, Gunbarrel over there's obsessed with firearms. Like that dude from Police Academy, man." Wipe-Out snickered.
"ALRIGHT!!!!" A voice roared. "WHITHALF, YOU HAVE REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME!!!!" A muscular man with a hard face stomped up to the general. He had blond hair in a crew cut and brown eyes. He was clad in a military green sleeveless t-shirt with dogtags around his neck, a pair of camouflage pants, and black boots. He had a towel around his neck.
"Hello, Hardcase." Whithalf laughed. "Let me introduce the kids. This is Siryn, Dazzler, Thunderbolt, Sunfire, Velocity, Thunderbird, X23, Wildstar, and Wolfsbane."
"Uh oh. Hardcase is being a hard-butt again." Kicker giggled to Quick-Kick and Wipe-Out, making the martial artist and Navy SEAL snicker. Hardcase's real name was James Harris, an army Captain and Green Beret. He was third- in-command of Malibu Base.
"We have kids on the base, Whithalf! A base is no place for kids!"
"These are special kids." Whithalf grinned. "They're mutants."
"And proud of it." Sunfire sneered at the Green Beret.
"I don't care if they're martians, Whithalf!" Hardcase snapped. "A military base is no place for kids! Even kids with superpowers!"
"The Pit has a team of mutants. Why not Malibu Base?" Kicker wondered. "Besides, they all look so sweet."
"The people at the Pit are all psychos!" Hardcase snapped at Kicker. "Although that's pretty true here. I don't know why I got assigned to this madhouse!"
"Because you're the best at what you do, dude. And GI Joe totally only accepts the best, man." Wipe-Out grinned.
"And the craziest." Sunfire groaned, shooting a glance at Whithalf.
"Hardcase, don't think of these kids as burdens. They're our guests." Whithalf grinned.
"I'll take them to the cafeteria. Have 'em meet the chef." Kicker grinned. "C'mon kids." She led the West Coast Misfits to the cafeteria. Several Joes were there, but the main attraction was a huge Hispanic man with a big chef's hat, clad in a military uniform. He had an apron with "Kiss the Cook" on it. He had a goatee, and a red headband.
"Hey Gonzalez." Kicker waved.
"Hey girl!" The big Hispanic chef waved happily. "What can I get you today?"
"I'd like to introduce you to the West Coast Misfits. Kids, this is Gonzalez. He used to cook on a Navy carrier." Kicker smiled.
"You name it, I can cook it." Gonzalez grinned.
"Can you cook any Japanese food?" Sunfire dared. Gonzalez nodded. He produced a plate of sushi. Toshiro tried it.
"He's good." Toshi nodded in amazement. "Real good."
Well, another chapter over! What more madness will happen? Who else comprises the Malibu Joes? What's the Surf Master up to? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
