Circus Craziness!
To Red Witch: You're going on vacation again?! Where the heck do you go? Bring back something for your fans. Anyway, this chapter full of insanity will be waiting for you when you get back! I hope it's a nice homecoming for you! See you!
To Raliena: Hey Rae! It has been too long! Nice to hear from you again! Well, most circuses don't allow pets, and many people would consider everyone's favorite macaque, Blast Radius, a pet. Firestorm thinks of him as a brother, but everyone else thinks of him as a pet. Maybe I will do something with Blast Radius sneaking into the circus. I don't know if BR will meet his relatives. I don't think many circuses have macaque monkeys. The one I went to only had elephants.
To Sparky Genocide: Oh, you want Toshiro to be knocked out of the sky by Jack Pulver, the Circus of Crime's own Human Cannonball. I'm glad you enjoyed the scene with Hardcase freaking out about the clowns. Hmm, I do like your suggestion with Gnawgahyde and Leathersuit on the midway. I'll see what I can do, man.
It's Profile Time Again! (Crowd hoots, hollers, cheers, screams, chants, and claps. Some hold up signs) This time, we take a look at another member of the Renegades who enjoys playing rough, Red Dog!
Red Dog
Real Name: David Taputapu
Affiliation: Renegades
Rank: E-5 (Pay Grade Equivalent)
Primary Military Specialty: Infantry
Secondary Military Specialty: None
Birthplace: Pago Pago, Samoa
Bio: Not much is known about the early life of Red Dog, except that he grew up in the island of Samoa. However, as an adult, he rose to stardom in the NFL as one of their best place kickers in history, famous for doing it barefoot, and infamous for his bad temper. He got into more brawls in one season than every other player put together! He is credited for making the NFL exciting, but he was kicked out of the NFL for all the unnecessary roughness he caused. Needing direction, he joined the military, where he met Sergeant Slaughter. Seeing Red Dog's love of destroying things and hurting the opposing team as useful, Sarge made him one of his Renegades.
He's actually pretty nice when calm, but most people don't get that impression because his idea of greeting people is to tackle them into the ground. He's known for his yellow headband and his red jersey, as well as the fact he charges into battle barefoot.

Chapter 6: Saving the Circus!
Inside the Wrangling Brothers Circus
"Guys! Look!" Ace pointed at the beam, and it collapsed.
"Oh my God!" Tim Wrangling yelled as the tent began to collapse. People screamed and ran off as the circus tent began to collapse.
"Kids, we got to stop the tent!" Kicker exclaimed.
"We'll evacuate!" The Malibu Joes began evacuating the people.
"West Coast Misfits, Away!" The kids chanted. Theresa immediately began barking out orders.
"Sunfire! Thunderbolt! Stabilize the tent!" Siryn screamed. Toshi flew up to the top of the tent and grabbed it, while pulling it up. Kyle flew up to the tent and created a cone out of electrical power to help Toshi hold up the tent.
"It's not enough! It's too heavy!" Kyle yelled. "Man, who would've thought cloth would be this hard to hold up?"
"Thunderbird! Chilljaw! Grab those supports and give the flyboys a hand!" Siryn barked. The Apache and Australian mutants grabbed a pair of supports and used their great strength to help Kyle hold up his electrical construct.
"Beast King! Use your powers to get the animals to safety!" Siryn ordered. "Wolfsbane, Longshot, Dazzler, Velocity, help evacuate! Wildstar, X23, come with me! I got a bad feeling about this." The two feral mutants followed the Irish girl outside.
"Dang, you fine!" Terrell grinned as he used his speed to carry the elephant-riding girl off the great beast as Jack used his animal-shifting powers to get the animals to back off and get away.
Outside the Wrangling Brothers Circus
"Come on!" Siryn flew outside. Ace and X23 followed her.
"What are we doing out here, Irish?!" X23 snapped.
"I got a funny feeling that this is no accident." Theresa replied.
"What makes you say that, Scream Queen?" Ace wondered.
"Something Kyle told me earlier." Theresa replied.
Outside the Wrangling Brothers Circus, just before the show started
"This had better be important, Kyle." Theresa warned as Kyle dragged her outside the tent.
"It is important, you jabroni! I recognized the ringmaster!" Kyle said.
"Really?" Theresa crossed her arms and tapped her foot.
"Yeah." Kyle nodded. "You see, the Thunderbolt was bored, so he decided to walk around and look around to kill some time before the show started. On his walk, the Thunderbolt overheard that ringmaster argue with another one in green and purple, an old guy. They argued over the ringmaster's circus being on its last legs or something. The other ringmaster, the old one, he seemed to want to buy this circus, but the ringmaster of this circus refused. The old one in green said as the Thunderbolt left was that the old guy would get the young guy's circus, no matter what." Kyle panted a little. Theresa blinked as she processed all the information Kyle spat out at her at once.
"So, what does that have to do with anything?" Theresa blinked.
"I don't know. Terry, we're superheroes. You know how it goes: Superhero takes a break, he ends up battling another super-villain. It's a staple of every comic book!" Kyle exclaimed.
"Aye, and ye should know. Ye got more comic books than that collectibles shop down on Main Street!" Theresa laughed. Kyle smirked.
"And the Thunderbolt is proud of it!"
Outside the Wrangling Brothers Circus, present time
"And you think that argument Kyle overheard had something to do with it?" Ace blinked.
"Probably." Theresa said. "Look!" Ace, X23, and Theresa noticed that the pins holding down the ropes that helped to hold up the tent were lying on the ground. X23 and Ace looked at the pins.
"These things look like they were ripped out of the ground!" Theresa exclaimed.
"Hmm…" Ace sniffed a pin he was holding. "I don't recognize the scent. You, X?"
"No. I don't recognize the scent either." Athena shook her head. "Man, who could've done this? These pains aren't lightweight."
"Aye. Whoever did this would have to be pretty strong." Theresa agreed. "I think this was done to send a message."
Well, looks like the West Coast Misfits may avert a disaster! What insanity will happen next? Will the West Coast Misfits figure out what's going on? What'll Tiboldt and his evil circus do next? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
