Space Bikers Ahoy!

It's Profile Time again! This time I talk about everyone's favorite African- American speedster, Terrell Mason, aka Velocity!

Velocity

Class: Mutant

Allegiance: Misfits (West Coast Team)

Real Name: Terrell Andrew Mason

Hair: Black (in cornrows)

Eyes: Black

Nationality: American

Birthplace: Compton, California

Powers: Terrell's body and mind have been adapted for the rigors of great speed thanks to his mutation. His skin is also more resistant to sudden changes in temperature thanks to his mutation. His legs possess great strength, and his brain can process information much faster than a normal human. He can also psionically manipulate air particles, which allow him to create all sorts of wind based phenomenon, like tornados. His speed and wind-control powers all may allow him to fly short distances. He can move at around 220 mph, and the strongest known winds he's called up are around 170 mph.

Bio: Terrell was born in the tough streets of Compton, California. His parents were former members of the infamous Black Panthers party. As a child, he was taught to be proud of his African heritage, and his parents kept him out of all the gang violence. As a kid, Terrell listened to an unusual combination of hip-hop and classic R&B. As a result, Terrell entertained dreams of being the next James Brown. When his powers of speed and aerokinesis emerged, Terrell's parents reacted unusually: They didn't mind. Terrell was told to use his powers to become a positive role model for the African-American community. After catching a criminal at the Starlight Club, Terrell befriended Alison Blaire, his future West Coast Misfit teammate codenamed Dazzler. Ali called upon Terrell when Ace asked Ali to join up with other friends of his to battle the bio-droid called the Mimic.

Note: Terrell is often known to be enjoying some Temptations, Marvin Gaye, or his favorite, James Brown.

A/N: This is set after "Battle in Britain", just so to avoid any confusion.

(Outer Space)

Outer Space. There's a whooooooole lot of it out there. It was calm, tranquil, and full of stars, planets, nebulas, and some other stuff. Business as usual until...

"YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" A creature crowed. It flew a spacecraft that seemed to be a cross between a green insect and large motorcycle with silver highlights. Inside, the voice's owner, a human-looking person, had black feathers growing out of his head in a shape like a spade or an arrowhead, and was clad like he was a Dreadnok. The ship was flanked by four other similar ships. "Man, I can't believe we pulled it off! That was great!"

(Nick's Arcade, Malibu, California)

Nick's Arcade. A place where the teens of Malibu could hang out, have snacks, play video games, dance, or just hang out. We focus on a counter in the arcade. The half-teen, half-lion mutant known as Wildstar was sitting on a stool. Behind the snack counter was a pretty girl clad in a garish pink-and-yellow uniform with a fried chicken-like bucket on her head and her dark hair in braids, decorated with colorful beads. She leaned over on the counter, staring longingly at the mutant rockstar/superhero.

"Well Janice, it looks like things are going rather well." Ace grinned. He noticed his teammates. Rahne and Rictor were dancing on the floor, John Proudstar and Ali were playing video games, Terrell was wooing a couple girls at a table, X23 was beating up a guy who tried to get fresh with her, and Theresa was eating a grilled cheese sandwich.

"Yeah." Janice sighed happily at Ace. "Especially since you're here." Suddenly, yelling was heard. "Oh no." She groaned. The yelling came from one Toshiro Yashida. He and Kyle Wildfire were on the dance floor. And the two West Coast Misfits known respectively as Sunfire and Thunderbolt were engaged in another one of their infamous arguments. Toshi and Kyle argued over just about everything, from favorite wrestlers to favorite video games. Rahne Sinclair and Randy Gomez were trying to keep them from coming to blows.

"Oh no." Ace sighed.

"HOW DARE YOU!!!!" Toshi yelled at the young wrestler's son.

"HEY, DON'T BLAME THE THUNDERBOLT IF YOU ARE A CLUMSY OAF!!!" Kyle shouted.

"Calm down, you two!" Rahne yelled.

"What's gotten you two heated up this time?" Randy grumbled.

"I was dancing with a girl when Kyle came up and tripped me!" Toshi yelled. "She thought I was a clumsy oaf thanks to him!"

"Hey, she deserved to know the truth, jabroni!" Kyle laughed.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!" Toshi screamed as he tried to lunge at Kyle.

"SHE WANTED TO DANCE WITH ME ANYWAY!!!" Kyle laughed proudly.

"Hey, calm down!" Ace snapped, getting between them. "You two nearly got banned from here last time!"

"He's just jealous because I'm a better dancer!" Toshi yelled, pointing at Kyle.

"You can't dance worth a lick, Sushi! You're not fooling anybody!" Kyle snapped.

"You're no James Brown yourself, Kyle!" Toshi snapped back. Janice walked up to Theresa.

"Shouldn't you be doing something?" She asked the West Coast Misfit leader. The blonde Irish girl shook her head.

"Trying to stop those two from arguin' is like tryin' to stop the sun from rising. It's impossible." Siryn sighed. "I cannae stop them arguing anymore than one can stop the day."

"Hey." A boy around Theresa's age approached her. The Irish girl looked up and saw he was a mutant. He looked like a combination between man and shark. His skin was gray, and he was clad in a black sleeveless t-shirt with a blue sleeveless leather jacket over it, and blue jeans. His sneakers were black. His wrists had studded wristbands and his slightly webbed hands were covered by fingerless blue biker gloves. Protruding from his upper back was a fin like a shark's. His face was normal, except his mouth and nose formed a small muzzle much like a shark. His yellow eyes glowed, and his long black hair was tied in a ponytail, with a blue bandanna on his head.

"Hello." Theresa raised an eyebrow.

"The name's Tommy Sharpe." The shark-teen grinned, revealing some of his teeth were sharpened. "But they call me SHARK MAN!" Theresa noticed he had an Australian accent.

"Shark Man?" Theresa struggled not to laugh at the somewhat-corny codename.

"Yeah, I heard you're the leader of the West Coast Misfits." Tommy said. "I want to join."

"Uh, well, we're not really looking for any new members. We only just recruited Rictor recently." Siryn nodded. Tommy looked a little bit disappointed.

"Wait! Check this out!" He picked up a piece of paper. He took a breath and he spat a stream of supercooled water from his mouth, freezing the paper on contact. "I also have super strength, I'm amphibious, I can bite through anything, and I'm a great swimmer!"

"Well, that is impressive." Theresa blinked. John and Ali walked up to the two mutants.

"Hey Theresa." The Farrah-haired mutant said. "What's up?"

"John, Ali, meet Tommy Sharpe." Theresa motioned to the shark-like mutant. "Aka Shark Man. He wants to join us." John shrugged.

"I see no problem with that." John said. "John Proudstar. They call me Thunderbird." The Apache mutant shook the Australian mutant's hand.

"I'm Alison Blaire. Call me Ali. My codename's Dazzler." Ali grinned. Tommy blinked at the singer's hair.

"That hairstyle's rather old, ain't it?" Tommy wondered, pointing at Ali's hair. "The last time that was on a girl, America is in an oil crisis."

"I like the Farrah hair." Ali said. "I think it fits me."

"It sure does." John chuckled. "What are your powers?"

"I'm amphibious, super strong, super bite, and I can spit supercooled water from my mouth." Tommy said.

"Supercooled water?" Ali scratched her head.

"Water chilled to a temperature beyond its freezing point." Theresa replied. "It freezes anything it comes in contact with."

"Good thing Kyle was too busy arguing with Toshi to hear that, Alison." John chuckled. "He'd be cracking 'dumb blonde' jokes all day." Ali rolled her eyes.

"What can you guys do?" Tommy asked.

"I have super strength and endurance." John replied.

"I can turn sound into light, and create forcefields." Ali replied.

"I can fire sonic blasts from my mouth and use sonic vibrations to fly, hence my codename of Siryn." Theresa added.

"Cool." Tommy laughed. "So, am I a member?"

(Our Solar System)

The five motorcycle-like spacecraft raced into our solar system.

"Hurry up!" The pilot of the lead craft yelled. "The Imperial Guard is not far behind us!"

"Hey, we can hide out there!" One of the pilots, a female, pointed at a certain blue planet. "According to my guidebook, the place is called Earth."

"I heard that some of the natives are developing superpowers." Another pilot said.

"Well, let's hide out here until the Guard leaves." The female said. "They're too stupid to check out that primitive planet." The five craft flew towards the planet. Particularly towards Malibu, California.

Hoo boy! Looks like more madness is on its way! Will Tommy be a member of the West Coast Misfits? Who are those aliens? Who is this "Imperial Guard" they mentioned? What'll the aliens do on Earth? Will the West Coast Misfits be able to save the day? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
