GI Joe, the Movie: Evo-tized!
To Wizard1: Can't wait for the new chapter! Why is Kyle so hard on Lina? Well, remember when she described her powers in the first chapter? Kyle thinks her powers will make her a great fighter. However, she doesn't want to fight, so Kyle thinks she's going to just let her potential go to waste. Yes, according to jake, one of Draconis' first signs of his existence was his taking over Jake's body and brutally injuring a girl because she turned him down to a dance.
To Sparky Genocide: DUDE!!! Oh, there will be new Misfits.
To Red Witch: Perhaps. We'll just have to wait and see.
To Metal Dragon1: Hey dude, when's the next chapter of "Take the Long Way Home" going to come up? What do you have planned next?
It's Profile Time Again! *Crowd hoots, hollers, screams, and claps* This time, we look at another one of the Joe caretakers, Spirit!
Spirit
Real Name: Charles Iron-Knife
Affiliation: Army
Rank: Sergeant First Class
Primary Military Specialty: Infantry, Tracker
Secondary Military Specialty: Social Services, Cartographer
Birthplace: Taos, New Mexico
Bio: A Native American, Spirit was born so far below the poverty line, no one in his family realized they were poor! Born near the Grand Canyon, Spirit proved to have an almost uncanny talent for direction and exploration. In the tradition of his ancestors, Spirit was raised to connect with nature and have respect for it. He also was trained as a shaman, or a holistic healer.
In high school, he earned some extra money working as a hunting guide. After graduation, he joined the Army, where he became a qualified sniper and served in Southeast Asia. When he returned home, he completed his education, earning a degree in psychology. He re-enlisted and was recruited to join GI Joe.
In GI Joe, Spirit became known as one of the team's most respected and honorable warriors. His life would change when he ended up caring for an abandoned and beaten Lance Alvers, codename Avalanche. Alvers' powers and mind were screwed around with by Magneto's usage of genetic enhancers and mind control drugs on him. After Alvers stood up to Magneto, Magneto left Lance to die in the desert, where Spirit found him alongside Dusty and Cross-Country.
Lance bonded with Spirit, and he became Avalanche's legal guardian. Spirit helped Lance trust humans, and it's believed that Spirit may be training Lance as a shaman.
A/N: L17 here! I'm going to screw around with the Joe Universe! Hey, if Red Witch could do it, so can I!

"Come in! Roadblock! Come in!" Dial-Tone yelled into his head set. He and Dial-Up were in the base's communications center, and they had just lost contact with Roadblock's team. "Dial-Up, can you get Jaye?" The Japanese Joe shook her head angrily. She smacked the console, anger heating up her normally cool face, and she let out some curses in her native tongue.
"I cannot track them!" She said with frustration.
"We'll find them, Dial-Up. Don't worry." Dial-Tone reassured the Malibu Joe he took under his wing. She looked up at him.
"I'm…I'm…I'm concerned about Jester." She admitted. Dial-Tone chuckled.
"I thought you hated him." He laughed. Dial-Up shook her head.
"Not in that manner." She admitted. "I do find him annoying at times, with his lack of maturity."
"I know you, Dial-Up. I know you're a bit of a Jim Carrey fan." Dial-Tone smirked. "And I know that you did find it funny when Jester TP'd Hardcase's home." Dial-Up sighed.
"I have to admit…" She sighed. "Jester is a good person underneath his endless joking around. I guess it'd be tough to imagine Malibu Base without him."
"Yeah, and Whithalf wouldn't be the same without his Morale Upkeep Officer." Dial-Tone chuckled. His face turned sad. "We have to report this to Hawk." Dial-Up nodded. When he turned, she looked up at the sky, and mentally whispered a small prayer in Japanese for her comrades, and for Jester.

"WHAT?!?!" Kicker screamed. Hawk had just called her and told her Quick-Kick was now missing. "No! Hawk, that can't be true!" Hawk apologized on the other end. "No!" Ali, Lila, and Ace ran in.
"Kicker, what's up?" Ace asked. A teary-eyed Kicker put down the phone.
"Quick-Kick's missing." She sobbed.
"What?!" Ali said.
"He went with Roadblock, Jaye, and some others to find out where Cobra retreated to. Dial-Up and Dial-Tone lost contact with them. The last report they got was they ended up in some weird cave that looked like a landscape from another planet…" Kicker looked like she was about to cry. The kids blinked in disbelief, especially Ace and Ali. Quick-Kick had become like a father to all the West Coast Misfits, and Kicker was the mother figure to them.
"Oh God…" Ali covered her mouth. Ace looked down at the ground.
"Is he alright?"
"We don't know." Kicker covered her face. "We don't know." She sobbed. Ali hugged Kicker, tears flowing down her eyes. Ace went out to gather the other West Coast Misfits and tell them the news.

(Another part of the base)
"Alright, you slobs." Beach Head growled, looking over at the new recruits to the Misfit and Joe teams. He looked at clipboard as he looked at the new recruits. The first new recruit he looked at was a young man with semi-long blond hair, a green headband, and a uniform with various gadgets on it. "Sgt. David Lewinski, codename Hi-Tech. The new Operations Support Specialist, huh?"
"That's me!" The blond man grinned. "I heard your laptop needed lookin' at. I'll look at it later for you." Beach Head blinked.
"Uhhhhh, thanks." Beach Head blinked. He looked at Hi-Tech's file. "Says here you're an X-Positive. A mutant."
"Actually, that's technical." Hi-Tech shrugged. "I'm not really a mutant. As a kid, I messed around with my computer while it was on and some electronic parts, and one day: POW!!! Got struck by lightning. Hit me and the electronic stuff. When I got out of the hospital, I discovered I had a weird mental power over electronic devices. Kept it secret my whole life. I leanred to never play with my electronic devices outside in the rain."
"Well, here we got quite a few mutants running around. Most of them are younger than you kid, but just as mature." Beach Head grumbled. He looked at the next candidate, a pretty young woman with short brown hair that went down to her chin. "Sgt. Paige Adams. Codename Mayday. Malibu Base's sniper. Says you're also an X-Positive."
"Unlike Techno-Master over here, I am a real mutant, sir." She replied. "Superhuman sight. It allows me improved visual range, natural night vision, and the ability to see radiation."
"Maybe you should meet Low-Light. He'd love you." Beach Head grumbled. He looked over at the next recruit, a blonde woman in a gray uniform with a red bird on it. He smirked in recognition. "Finally did it, huh Janack?"
"Yes, I made the team." The woman replied in an Eastern European accent.
"You two know each other?" Hi-Tech asked, pointing at the blonde recruit and Beach Head.
"Yeah." Beach Head replied. "Daina L. Janack. You got the codename Vorona. Born in Ostrava in the Czech Republic. A former member of the Oktober Guard."
"Oktober Guard?" Hi-Tech asked.
"Ever heard of the Warsaw Pact?" Vorona asked. Hi-Tech nodded. "The Oktober Guard was the Warsaw Pact nations' version of GI Joe. Not nearly as numerous as this team. I heard rumors they're forming a new Guard with mutants. With them, I was a sniper, as well as a helicopter pilot."
"Not to mention you had a temper like a wild bull who hasn't slept or eaten in five days with a firecracker up its butt." Beach Head muttered.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Vorona whirled around and roared in Beach Head's face, making him fall over.
"Never mind." He grumbled as he got up. She still has that temper. I think we're in trouble. Beach Head sighed as he read the next report. He looked at the new Joe, a Hispanic man clad in a red-and-yellow fireproof suit with short curly black hair. He carried a flamethrower back similar to Pyro. "Eric Suarez, codename Burner. The Malibu Joes' new flamethrower."
"That's me, man!" He chuckled. "You name, I can toast it!"
"Speaking of toast, Pyro and Firestorm would love you, kid." Beach Head looked at a teen girl with red hair. "Angelica Jones, codename Firestar. You can generate beams of microwave energy and use microwave energy to fly."
"Hello." She waved. Next to her stood a girl, around 12. She had dark gray hair in a braid, light gray skin, and was clad in a Spider-Man t-shirt and jeans.
"Olivia Osnick, codename Spyder." Beach Head looked wryly at her. "You essentially have a spider-based mutation." He chuckled. "Kinda short, aren't you Ollie?" The gray-skinned pre-teen grabbed Beach Head and pulled his face to hers, a fist under his nose.
"Call me Spyder and I won't knock your nose off!" She said. Vorona laughed.
"Oh, now that's rich!" The Czech woman laughed. Beach Head rubbed his neck and looked at the next two recruits: Two blond kids. One looked like an 18-year-old version of Wipe-Out. The other was clad in a black uniform with a sash filled with pockets, a yellow 8-pointed star on the left breast, and his hands only had three fingers each. "Jack McCormick, codename Beast King. The ability to transform into any animal." He looked up and saw a gorilla staring at him! "AIEEEEE!!!!!!!!" Beach Head screamed. The gorilla turned back into a laughing Beast King.
"Whoa, dude!" Jack laughed. "You totally need to take a chill pill, man!" Beach Head glared.
"You're as bad as your bum cousin." Beach-Head grumbled. He looked at the last recruit. "Hmmm, you're only known as Longshot. And you're from another dimension. You have hollow bones, granting you great agility, you can shift luck in your favor, and you're also handy with daggers YIE!!!!" Beach Head dodged a dagger. It knocked his clipboard off.
"Yup." Longshot grinned. He high-fived Beast King.
"Awesome! You were great hey dude what're you looking at?" Jack wondered. Longshot was staring at Ali walking by with a glazed-over look in his eye. Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver" played in his head.
Well, this is going to drive the X-Men nuts if they ever get wind of this! How will the new guys fare? What madness will happen? What'll happen to the captured Joes? What'll happen next? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
