Mad Malibu Summer!
To Metal Dragon1: Yeah, Monet and Sharon are the least of their worries right now. I thought it'd be funny to watch a crazy Firestorm and BR attack police cars. BTW, I can't wait for the next chapter of "Take the Long Way Home". I hope it comes up real soon!
To Sparky Genocide: The Dreadnoks end up liking music, huh? I'll see what I can do.
To Red Witch: Glad you liked it! Here's some more insanity for you! Also, I read your new chapters! Great! Have Jubilee chase around an imaginary Kid Razor! Enjoy! Oh yeah, and I found out about Daina's Joe codename.
To Goofn1: To be fair, Ace never drove a bus before. It's not like driving a Trinity-modified blue Ferrari. Ace is a good driver. Hey, how would you like to see Firestorm give Kitty driving lessons?
To Wizard1: Where are you, man!?!? I haven't gotten a review from you in a long time, man! And I've been waiting for the new chapter of "Karaoke Dance Party"!
It's Profile Time Again! (Crowd hoots, hollers, cheers, screams, chants, and claps. Some hold up signs.) This time, we take a look at a Joe who is a feared for her temper as she is respected for her sniping skills, Vorona!
Vorona
Real Name: Daina L. Janack
Affiliation: Formerly October Guard, formerly Czech Special Forces
Rank: Lieutenant
Primary Military Specialty: Small Arms Specialist, Marksman
Secondary Military Specialty: Helicopter Pilot, Tactical Specialist
Bio: Not much is known about the early life of Vorona. Despite this, she has a long history as an enemy of sorts to GI Joe. She once served as the only female member, and the only Czechoslovakian, of the October Guard, the Warsaw Pact nations' response to GI Joe. In the Guard, she was known as Volga, and she fought both against and with the Joes as part of a three way battle against GI Joe, the Guard, and Cobra. Her teammates at the time were team leader Colonel Brekhov, Georgian heavy weapons expert Horrorshow, Soviet airman Stormavik, East German soldier Schrage, and a later addition known as Dragonsky who served as vehicle driver and flamethrower. After a couple years, Brekhov, Horrorshow, Schrage and Stormavik were replaced by naval officer Lt. Gorky and Sgt. Misha, a Soviet Special Forces trooper. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union spelt the end of the October Guard.
However, over the years, Vorona grew to respect the Joe team and think of them as equals. When her native Czechoslovakia broke up, Vorona became a citizen of the Czech Republic, and stayed there to work for the Special Forces of that country. She grew tired of the difficulties over there, and she moved to America, petitioning for membership in the Joe team. During the battle in Cobra La, Vorona was recruited to the Joe team.
Note: Daina is a fantastic sniper, and she's no slouch behind the steering stick, but her biggest weakness is that she has a bit of a temper. Vorona is the Czech word for "crow".

(The bus)
"Ace, I can understand that driving a bus is different than driving a car and you're unfamiliar with a bus, and the fact we're in a rush, but can ye please WATCH WHERE YE'RE DRIVING?!?!" Theresa Rourke screamed as the bus veered a corner.
"Sorry Shamrock-girl, I'm trying! This thing don't turn on a dime!" Ace exclaimed.
"WAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Monet and Sharon screamed on the roof, trying to hang on.
"Hey look!" Rictor pointed outside. The Mexican mutant called attention to the fact that a lot of people were gathering on the beach.
"The Malibu Fair!" Dial-Up exclaimed. "We have to help now! We don't have time to locate the others."
"But we may need their help!" Rahne replied.
"Terry, it's all you, dudette." Jack looked over at the Irish girl. "What do we do?" The other mutants, except for Ace, looked at her. Theresa was silent for a minute or so, before sighing.
"We got no choice. Whatever the Dreadnoks are going to do, they'll wait until the fair is up and runnin'. We got no choice. Hopefully the others will come. Ace, stop at the fair!"

(In a dressing room behind the big stage at the Malibu Fair)
"MMMMMMPH!!!" Ali screamed. She was tied and gagged alongside the Ballroom Blitzers.
"Well, that's that." Zarana smirked. She stood over the kids. "Thought you could play crimefighters, aye?"
"Let's get ready for our performance." Zartan snickered. "The crowds are gathering and they want to see some rock to start the show. Virus is ready to go." Ali hollered something, but the gag obscured most of it. "Don't worry, little Dazzler, we'll take good care of your fellow Misfits…after the crowd destroys them." Ali's eyes widened.
"Mmf?"
"I, using my incredible genius, something a blonde like you will never have, created a device that allows me to take control of people using subliminal soundwaves, as well as make these boy-band wannabes actually sound good." Virus smirked.
"Virus, boy bands suck. Just because you like Britney Spears, that don't bloody mean you can call our awesome heavy metal band a boy band." Zandar snapped.
"Shut up, Farrah!" Virus snapped at a giggling Ali. He raised his hand to slap her, but Zartan held his wrist.
"Go back to your padded cell and do your job." Zartan growled. The arrogant Virus gulped and ran off. "Fraidy cat. And Zandar, we're not a real band."
"I dunno, this rock star stuff. It's kinda fun." Zarana grinned. "We could be like Spinal Tap, a fake band that makes real music?"
"Finally, someone listens to me. Joy." Zandar smiled.
"Oh yeah, 'This is the Dreadnoks'. Yeah, that'll be a big moment in rock." Zartan rolled his eyes.
"I'm all for it." Buzzer grinned, holding up his drumsticks.
"We are not going to play Spinal Tap II here, you knuckleheads!" Zartan snapped.
"You are no fun, brother." Zarana pouted.
"Ugh." Zartan groaned. "The things I do for money." He looked over at the snickering gagged kids. "Thanks a lot, now the kids are laughing at me. By the way, has anyone seen Zanya? She disappeared when she found out the Misfits were going to Hawaii…never mind. I know what she was after."
Uh oh! Looks like the Dreadnoks may win? What madness will happen next? Where are the other West Coast Misfits? Can they save the day? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
