Circus Craziness!
To Red Witch: Yeah. Spider-Man, the Hulk, and Thor also tussled with the Circus of Crime. I also hope to have Kid Razor face off against the Circus in a future fic I want to do. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this brand spanking new chapter with a little bit of insanity in it!
To Metal Dragon1: I can hardly wait for the new chapter of 'Take the Long Way Home'! It has been way too long since you put up anything in that story. I also can't wait for the chapter with the Kid Razor team-up! I'm sure the idea of selling out and making a mint would be tempting to a food vendor, but Tommy's one tough kid to feed. I'm glad you liked the return of Firestorm and BR. I guess it being owned by Cobra and all was a good reason to blow up a Big Top, but I think this time, they want to save Firestorm and Blast Radius for later when their talents may be welcome.
It's Profile Time Again! (Crowd hoots, hollers, cheers, screams, chants, and claps. Some hold up signs) This time, we look at a Joe who'd feel a lot better if he wasn't in the Joe team, Beach Head!
Beach Head
Real Name: Wayne R. Sneeden
Rank: Command Sergeant
Affiliation: Army
Primary Military Specialty: Infantry, Drill Instructor
Secondary Military Specialty: Small Arms Armorer
Birthplace: Auburn, Alabama
Bio: As a kid, Beach Head was constantly picked on and he never got a break. Nothing ever went his way. When he became of legal age, he decided to join the Army. Discovering he had a liking for the Army life, Beach Head decided to become a Ranger for the challenge, studying at Ranger School and Covert Ops School. When he was recruited to tthe Joe team, Beach Head was working as an instructor and as a drill sergeant.
In the field, Beach Head is as cool as ice, and he enjoys the rigors of Army life. During tense operations, he's been known to hum country music. Beach Head is proud to be a Joe, considering the Joes make up the military's finest, but he gets driven crazy by the fact that a lot of insanity occurs in GI Joe, and he has very little patience for GI Joe's two teams of teenage mutant charges, the Misfits. He also is the object of a lot of pranks by Joe team members.
Beach Head can be easily identified by the green ski mask over his head and face. The mask has caused him to be reffered to as 'Pickle Head' at times. Sometimes, he's also called 'Beach Ball'.
Chapter 3: Discovery and a Funny Flashback!
The Wrangling Brothers Circus
"Are ye alright, Firestorm?" Rahne asked with some concern. She was looking at the restrained Firestorm.
"Ah, I'm fine Rahne. I'm used to being like this. First time I was in this situation, it was after I first got my driver's license." Firestorm grinned.
"I've heard of your 'driving lessons' ye've been giving Kitty." Rahne crossed her arms in an amused manner.
Xavier Institute Teacher's Lounge, Yesterday
"Oh good! She didn't see me!" Logan whooped as he ran in. He saw Xavier, Ororo, Hank, and Warren in the lounge sharing a brandy.
"Let me guess, Kitty wants to go driving." Xavier said.
"Yeah." Logan sighed.
"Oh no! Not me! I just grew my feathers back!" Warren exclaimed.
"Who is dumb enough to want to go driving with Kitty?" Hank wondered.
"Firestorm." Logan blinked.
"Of course! He's a raving lunatic behind the wheel! He's perfect for the job!" Ororo smiled.
"I'll call the Malibu Joes and have them send him." Xavier smiled. A few minutes later, Firestorm and Kitty were in the garage.
"Like, thank you so much for taking me driving, Firestorm." Kitty smiled as she and Firestorm entered the Firerunner, Firestorm's customized nitro-powered jeep.
"I'll drive you to a great spot for practicing." Firestorm grinned. When he got in the car and started it, something weird happened. His eyes twinkled, his grin became maniacal, and he let out an insane cackle. "Time to drive. WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!! VROOM VROOM VROOM ROOM-A-ZOOM-ZOOM WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" Kitty's eyes widened and she screamed as Firestorm peeled out at over 200 miles per hour. Across town, one could hear the sounds of nitro exploding, Firestorm cackling, and Kitty screaming for her life. An hour later, she staggered in through the Institute door. Her skin and hair, which was completely on end and sticking up, was a pale white.
"Wrong…drive…the horror…bad…wrong…drive…bad…wrong…the horror…bad…the horror…wrong…drive…bad…drive…wrong…the horror…drive…" Kitty mumbled as she staggered into her room. "Wrong…drive…"
"Man, Firestorm did a number on her." Hank blinked.
"I don't think she'll ever want to drive again." Logan blinked. Hank and Logan looked at each other for a few seconds.
"WHOO-HOO!!!" Logan and Hank whopped together, high-fiving each other. "NO MORE DRIVING LESSONS WITH KITTY!!!! CARS EVERYWHERE ARE SAFE!!!!"
"Let's go out drinking and celebrate!" Hank ran out the door.
"Hey, wait up!" Logan followed.
The Wrangling Brothers Circus, Present Time
"How is Kitty?" Firestorm asked. Rahne blinked.
"Last I heard, she now will come out of her room." Rahne replied.
"Yummy." Tommy grinned as he walked by. He lugged a big pile of hot dogs, popcorn, and sodas.
"Tommy, ye'll give ye'self a heart attack!" Rahne exclaimed with wide eyes. "How can ye eat all that?"
"I'm a growing shark." Tommy grinned as he continued walking. Meanwhile, one member of the Misfits was rather bored.
"Man, when is that freaking show going to start?" Kyle Wildfire grumbled as he leaned on a tent wall. "The Thunder bolt didn't spend ten bucks on a ticket so these jabronies can keep him waiting all freakin' day!" He then heard arguing from outside. That's odd. Normally, that sounds like me and Toshiro. But ol' Sushi is…doing something else right now. Kyle snuck outside to find out what's going on. He carefully followed the noise until he found the source: Maynard Tiboldt arguing with another ringmaster, most likely the Wrangling ringmaster.
"Your circus is on its last legs!" Tiboldt laughed. "Maybe you should just fold now. Or better yet, sell me your circus."
"No way, Tiboldt! I don't know how your circus got its profits, but I do know one thing: I will not allow my circus to be put in your hands! You and your performers are a bunch of jerks!"
Hmmm…Kyle thought. So, the circus is on its last legs, huh? Well, the Thunderbolt thinks that the other guys would love to hear this. I wonder who the older guy is? Kyle wrinkled his brow at Tiboldt. Neither ringmaster noticed the electrokinetic listening in.
Well, looks like there's a twist for you! What insanity will happen next? What's going on between the two circuses? Will fun be had by all? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
