GI Joe: The Movie, Evo-tized!
To Wizard1: PLEASE PUT UP THE NEXT CHAPTER OF "KARAOKE DANCE PARTY"!!!!
To Descendent: Thanks a lot! I read the chapter, and it helped out a great deal. Here's some for you!
To Metal Dragon1: Yeah, something is up with the youngest Wildfire. And whatever it is, it's targeted Lina. Yeah, I think I should keep it canon. I like your recommendations. BTW, when's the next chapter of "Take the Long Way Home" coming up? I want to see Kid Razor appear again! Is he going to face off against Catseye?
To Sparky Genocide: Yep, Golobulus is here! Well, keep in mind, Virus's mental illness is slowly causing him to lose his grip on reality.
To Red Witch: Who says Kyle is the one behind all of this? *evil smirk*. Oh yeah, read the new chapter of "Firestar's Day Off"! Love it, but I am kind of hurt you never mentioned me. I know I don't review your stuff much, but college is a pain and it eats time like Garfield near lasagna!
To Aaron: Well Aaron, I've left some clues that something bigger is going on with Kyle Wildfire. I'll leave it to you to figure out the rest.
To RogueFanKC: That's some punishment. Well, I don't know if Lina will play a part in helping Kyle. I really don't.
It's Profile Time again! *Crowd hoots, hollers, cheers, and claps* Now we a look at a Joe who is infamous for his tenacity, the Joe hovercraft driver, Cutter!
Cutter
Real Name: Ronald "Skip" A. Stone
Rank: Lieutenant (Junior Grade)
Affiliation: Coast Guard
Primary Military Specialty: Hovercraft Captain, Aquatic Vehicle Driver
Secondary Military Specialty: Special Services (In Annapolis, he coached the women's swimming team)
Birthplace: Kinsley, Kansas
Bio: Even though his hometown is exactly 1,561 miles away from both San Francisco and New York City, Cutter has dreamed of a life at sea, thanks to a fishing trip he went to in Florida at the age of 14.
Infamous for his tenacity, Cutter wrote letters to his congressman endlessly for two years in hopes of getting to Annapolis. Eventually, he gave up, realizing the congressman would never respond because his family lacked the power and the money to make any real influence. He ended up enrolling in the Coast Guard Academy.
In the Coast Guard, Cutter became the best at cracking down on high seas drug smugglers.
He originally didn't desire to join GI Joe, until he learned the Joes had no Coast Guardsmen among them. Offended by this, Cutter drove the Coast Guard's top brass so crazy about it, they had to pull a lot of strings and get Cutter recruited so he would just shut up about it!
Cutter's tenacity, iron will, contrary nature, and weird sense of humor, often considered to be sometimes annoying by his teammates, are assets on the battlefield. When on a mission, Cutter will never give up until it's accomplished, no matter what.
Note: Oddly enough, even though he is a proud Kansas boy, Cutter is often seen wearing a Boston Red Sox baseball cap!

(GI Joe base)
At a courthouse, Hawk, General Flagg, Admiral Ledger, and Wild Bill sat behind a judge's podium. Standing before them were Falcon and Thunderbolt.
"Lieutenant Vincent R. Falcone, codename Falcon. Kyle J. Wildfire, codename Thunderbolt. You two have been charged with the following: Falcon, you have been charged with disobeying direct orders. Thunderbolt, you have been charged with assault of a teammate, resulting in the severe wounding and near-death of East Coast Misfit Angelina "Lina" Chakram, codename Dragonfly. You have a previous short history of verbal abuse towards Dragonfly. Do either of you have anything to say before we pass sentence on both of you?"
"I had no idea Cobra was going to attack! I though it'd be okay to leave for a half-hour!" Falcon exclaimed. Thunderbolt glared at Hawk.
"The Thunderbolt's got something to say alright. He believes Dragonfly is only a liability. Her inability to take action against Cobra forces makes her an easy target. I was only trying to show that. You think Cobra would have let her live?" Kyle snapped. "She uses the medic claim to cover up the fact that she is a coward and hereby unfit to be a part of the Misfit team! Hawk, the other guys all take her side! They won't talk to me! They look at the Thunderbolt as if he's some cold-blooded monster!"
"Wait." Duke and Red Dragon walked in.
"Duke. Red Dragon. Do you two have anything to say?" Hawk asked.
"Yeah. We think you shouldn't sentence these guys just yet." Jake said. "Look, Kyle's a good guy. I don't know why he has this problem with Dragonfly right now. But there is one thing I do know. I may not approve of my brother's actions after Cobra's raid, but he's still my brother." Kyle sighed.
"I promised our mother I'd take care of Falcon. And I can't do that if he's not on the team." Duke added. Hawk nodded.
"We'll keep that in mind." Wild Bill nodded.
"We must convene in private." General Flagg said. "We will summon you when we have made our decision." The four walked away. Duke and Falcon split off from Jake and Kyle.
"Look big brother, I don't need your help! I'm not a little kid anymore!" Kyle snapped.
"You ingrate!" Jake snapped back. "I'm trying to help you! Kyle, what is going on with you!! You've been in an irritable mood all day, and you nearly killed Dragonfly! What is going on?!"
"Nothing is going on!!! This is unfair!!! I'm getting punished for Lina's cowardice!" Kyle replied.
"Cowardice?! You should talk!! How'd you ambush Lina? You cornered her in the med-lab, then proceeded to pump a million volts into her!!! She never got a chance to fight back!!"
"She doesn't fight back! That's the problem!!"
"Since when is that a big deal?!"
"Dad always said, you never should be afraid to stand up. Never be afraid to fight. The Wildfires do not feel fear, Jake."
"Lina is not a Wildfire, Kyle. And even Dad gets scared sometimes. Some people don't like to fight. That doesn't make them weak, Kyle." Jake said. "Sometimes, a person is stronger for not fighting. Think about it. Remember when Rahne told you about when Lifeline was forced to face Sabertooth?" Kyle nodded. "Lifeline didn't throw the first punch. He never punched at all. He didn't fight back against Sabertooth. And Lifeline won! He beat him!"
"With a massage, Jake."
"Lifeline must've been scared to death. Is that why you hate Lina? Because she's scared? It's scary for her, being in a new place. And having to be around someone who does nothing but give her abuse doesn't help in the least!" Jake said. Rahne walked up to the two brothers.
"Hey Rahne." Kyle said. The Scottish mutant never even shot him a glance. It was like he was never there.
"Lina's awake. She's a little shaken, but alright." She said simply. The mutant lycanthrope turned around and walked off.
"You know Sinclair, it's considered rude to ignore people like that!" Kyle snapped.
"I don't blame her." Jake glared. Falcon peeked out.
"Uhm Kyle, get in here." He said. Kyle and Jake walked in.
"We have decided. Kyle J. Wildfire, Vincent R. Falcone, you two have shown a lack of discipline in your actions. Therefore, we have decided to send you two to the Slaughterhouse!" Hawk rapped his gavel. "Dismissed!"
"Aw heck no." Kyle groaned. "Great. Once again, Lina Chakram gets the Thunderbolt in trouble!" The West Coast Misfit Velocity overheard.
"Man, I wonder how Pyro and the injured guys are gonna react when they hear this?" Velocity grinned.

(Infirmary)
"St. John Allerdyce! Knock that off! You'll set the whole building ablaze!" Thunderbird snapped. Across from his bed was Pyro's. The wacko Australian had created a life-size fire statue of the new recruit Firestar and he was staring at her with a silly grin on his face. Fiery hearts flew around his head.
"I met an angel of fire, Thunderbird…" John sighed happily. Thunderbird groaned. Pietro chuckled.
"Forget it, Proudstar. Pyro's mind is permanently screwed up. He's always going to be insane, just like Craig is always going to be an angry thug OWCH!!!" He was knocked out by a vase to the face courtesy of Wanda, who was there to check on them.
"You know Firestar's going to flip if she sees that, Pyro." Wanda said. She saw out a window a laughing Longshot and Ali. "Well, maybe you should ask Longshot for help, Pyro. Oh wait, Longshot's sane. Never mind."
"My fire angel…" Pyro sighed longingly at the fiery effigy of Angelica.

(Cobra La)
"The trial begins!" Golobulus crowed. "Bring out the prisoners!" A group of Cobra-La guards brought out the captured Joes. Virus chuckled as he walked up to Roadblock.
"Hey Globby! This one handles the Toad! Let me kill him! Please!" He got a malicious glint in his eye. "That monster you keep ruined my life, Yank. Now I'll get my revenge."
"What did he ever do to you? He's never met you before Cobra Island and the Samurai-Tron!" Roadblock snapped.
"Ever since I was born, he's tried to ruin my life!" Virus screamed. Evidently his delusions had begun to warp his memory of his past. "He always laughed at me! And then I met Althea. It was a beautiful spring day. We fell in love. We were so happy. Until Toad came along and stole her away! He used some kind of magic spell, and I swore one day I'd rescue her! She talks to me telepathically! She cries for help in my head!"
"We got a name for that. It's called paranoid schizophrenia." Lionheart laughed. Virus slapped her. "You bloody brat!" She kicked him hard in the groin, making the Dreadnok howl in pain. Zartan and the other Dreadnoks laughed. They appreciated Virus's tech, but as a person, Virus was a jerk at best.
"Take that, you nerd!" Leathersuit laughed.
"You're insane, Virus!" Lady Jaye snapped.
"Ah, several members of the GI Joe team." Serpentor smirked, walking up to Bulldog. One Cobra La guard had him pinned, and a second had his bulldog Davey Boy in some odd cage. "I see your great strength isn't great enough to get you out of this. As soon as we execute you, I'll use your dog's bones as Christmas decorations."
"You lay a finger on Davey Boy and I will tear your bloody head off!" Bulldog spat. "Let me go, you bloody coward! Face me like a man!"
"GI Joe, we of Cobra La find you guilty of intrusion upon our world." Golobulus smirked. "You shall be used as test subjects for our spores!"
"Hey, we didn't get a lawyer!" Jester yelled.
"A lawyer would've made things worse!" Lionheart grumbled.
Well, things have gotten plain weirder! What spores is Golobulus talking about? What'll happen to the captured Joes? Can they be rescued? Can Thunderbolt and Falcon survive the Slaughterhouse? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
