Space Bikers Ahoy!

Author's Note: Hey, I got seven reviews for the first chapter, but three of them never appeared, nor was I alerted. If anybody knows what went wrong, I'd like an idea. Thanks a lot. Also, a repost would be nice. So If I didn't respond to your Chapter 1 review, sorry. I couldn't see it. I'll respond to the ones I did see before I was forced to resubmit, which didn't work, I can't see any reviews now. Sorry if I inconvenience anyone with this. Thank you and keep on reading! Can someone e-mail me and tell why this is going on and what the reviews said? Thanks. HELP ME!!!! I HAVE NO IDEA!!!! I tried reposting them, but it didn't work! WHYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?

To Aaron: Hey there! Glad you like Shark Man! I just made him up on a whim. I can imagine Shark Man vs. Leathersuit. That would be quite a battle, considering Shark Man has some powers Leathersuit does not. I'm glad you like my profile on Velocity. Here's some more madness for you! Oh yeah, and you posted the same review twice.

To Red Witch: Glad you like Shark Man! I really came up with the idea of a story on a whim, but some say I could've been inspired by an old cartoon.

To Metal Dragon1: So do I, man. So do I. Shark Man does kind of sound like the Street Sharks. Only they don't have ice water breath. I do remember that show, and I do remember the Shark Dive. Maybe Shark Man will develop a talent like that. Who knows.

It's Profile Time again! This time, we take a look at a real GI Joe member (Gotta love those filecard scans on YoJoe.com). He's one of the Malibu Joes. He's one of the West Coast Misfits' primary caretakers and a master of martial arts: Quick-Kick!

Quick-Kick

Real Name: MacArthur S. Ito

Grade: E-4

Birthplace: Los Angeles, California

Primary Military Specialty: Silent Weapons, Infantry

Secondary Military Specialty: Intelligence

Nationality: Japanese-American/Korean-American

Bio: As a child, Quick-Kick was often teased, tormented, and bullied by other kids because of his mixed ancestry: His father was Japanese and his mother was Korean. He found solace in movies and martial-arts. He is a certified black belt in Tae Kwon Do and Tai Chi Sword, among others. Before joining GI Joe and eventually becoming a Malibu Joe, Quick-Kick worked as a stuntman in Hollywood.

Note: Quick-Kick has a major talent for impersonating Hollywood stars. He is dating fellow Malibu Joe Kicker, who shares his love of movies and martial arts.

(In our solar system)

Not too far from the planet Mars, a white tear opened up in space. The tear opened into a circular portal. Out from the portal emerged a green insect- like spacecraft. Flanking it was what appeared to be a white-skinned man with a Mohawk. He was clad in a red-and-black uniform with a long red high- collared cape, high red boots and gloves, and a yellow triangle-like symbol on the chest.

{So they fled. Cowards.} He thought. {No surprise. They acted brave when they were covering the royal place with graffiti. But they ran when me and the Guard appeared. They cannot hide from me. None can hide from Gladiator.}

(Malibu, California)

"Just our luck some super-powered maniac busted out of jail!" Siryn grumbled. The West Coast Misfits and Shark Man, all clad in civilian clothes, were battling a shirtless bald muscleman clad in purple pants, and carrying a ball and chain. His head was pointed.

"You really think a bunch of kids can beat the Absorbing Man?" The man laughed. He was born Carl "Crusher" Creel, a career criminal. However, he was given his power to turn his body into any material he touched by Loki, the Norse God of Mischief, in exchange for destroying Thor. However, Creel was jailed, but he escaped and stowed away to Malibu. He touched a girder and his body glowed. His skin and ball-and-chain transformed into solid steel.

"Perfect." Siryn smirked. "SUNFIRE!!! THUNDERBOLT!!! BLAST HIM NOW!!!"

"Wha YEEEEEEEEEEEEEOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!" Creel screamed as his metallic body came under onslaught from flames and lightning.

"Didn't you know that metal conducts heat and electricity?" Sunfire sneered. "Fool."

"Hey Sunny, he can't help it! He's a dumb jabroni!" Kyle laughed.

"You punks!" Creel roared. He threw some cars, causing the two to disengage.

"Science lesson from the Shark Man, mate!" Shark Man blasted Creel with a stream of "ice water" (Shark Man tends to call the supercooled water he spits his "ice water") from his mouth. Creel's body was heated up thanks to Toshi, and the sudden dip in temperature from the cold water caused Creel to crack and shatter. "Oh yeah!"

"Ooh boy." Thunderbird gulped. "I think we killed him."

"Nah, you didn't, kids." The voice of War Machine said as he jetted over. He had been beaten senseless by Creel earlier. "He can reassemble himself if he gets broken while transformed. By the time he gets himself back together again, he'll be back in confinement."

"Well, thanks for the help, War Machine." Dazzler said. War Machine looked at Shark Man.

"New guy?"

"Hopefully." Tommy laughed.

"Let's get back to base." X23 said. "The Joes are probably worried."

"Ah, they know we can take care of ourselves." Ace waved.

"Sun and I will go get the van." Ali said. The two mutants went to fetch the vehicle they used to drive into town.

"Try not to crash, Sushi." Kyle chuckled.

"The only thing you should worry about me crashing into is you, Lightning Loudmouth." Toshiro grumbled. Kyle made a mocking gesture behind Toshi's back.

(On the outskirts of Malibu)

The lead pilot of the odd spacecraft stood on a cliff overlooking Malibu. Four others stood beside him. All of them were dressed like members of the Dreadnoks.

"Ahh, this planet looks fun." The lead pilot chuckled.

"Easy there, Pulverizer." A lizard-like humanoid said to the lead pilot.

"Shut up, Xenox!" The lead pilot snapped at the lizard-man.

"Look, we need to lay low for a while." Xenox, the lizard-man, said.

"Yes." A female humanoid with pale skin, long brown hair, and drills for fingertips nodded her head. "If we cause any trouble here, the Guard will notice and be after us."

"Spinner's right." Xenox agreed.

"Uh huh." A blue frog-like creature replied.

"Yeah, right Krokus." Pulverizer grumbled. He then smiled. "Just imagine the fun we could have here on this planet. No one's heard of us."

"We could add to my collection of mushrooms." A scorpion-like biker with a mechanical tail said.

"SHUT UP, STINGER!!!" The other four snapped.

Well, this should be interesting! What madness will happen next? What are these five aliens up to? Who is Gladiator? Why do all the new reviews I get act like they don't exist? (E-Mail me, address in bio). Find out in the next chapter, if I ever decide to write another one. This business with my new reviews never showing is making me depressed.
