Circus Craziness!
Disclaimer: "Prove me wrong!" -Chris Benoit
Author's Note: L1701E here! Sorry this is late, but I had a bad case of writer's block when it comes to this story. It's clearing up a little bit, thanks to some help from a few characters Aaron showed me that he created.
To Raliena: I'm glad you liked the chapter. I don't know much about monkeys myself. All I know about BR is that he is a Macaque monkey, the monkey seen in Johnny Depp's comeback flick, "Pirates of the Caribbean." I went a couple weeks ago. It was great fun! My sister didn't want to come. It was a shame. It was great!
To Red Witch: Come back!
To Sparky Genocide: Maybe we will see some of that down the line. Keep on reading.
To Wizard1: Where are you, man?! I haven't heard anything from you in months!
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 mutant member of the Renegades: Carmella Unuscione!
Carmella Unuscione
Codename: None
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
Nationality: Italian-American
Class: Mutant
Powers: Carmella Unuscione has the power to cover her body in an 'exoskeleton' made of energy. When this energy field is up, Carmella becomes invulnerable. She also gains superhuman strength with the forcefield.
Birthplace: The Bronx, New York City, New York
Bio: A tough-as-nails girl from the rough streets of New York, Carmella Unuscione loves nothing more than pounding her opponents into the ground, whether she's in the wrestling ring or not.
Carmella is a second-generation wrestler, the daughter of legendary champion Angelino Unuscione, the mutant wrestler known as Unus the Untouchable. In the 70s and 80s, Unus had a legendary rivalry with Eric "Blazer" Wildfire, the father of unofficial East Coast Misfit Jake "Red Dragon" Wildfire and West Coast Misfit Kyle "Thunderbolt" Wildfire. The rivalry passed on and Carmella dislikes the Wildfire Brothers. Jake doesn't really think badly of Carmella, but Kyle can't stand her.
In high school, Carmella wrestled for her high school wrestling team. However, during a match, her powers emerged, causing her to accidentally throw her opponent into a wall, breaking his neck and killing him. Carmella was immediately arrested, the principal convincing the authorities that Carmella intended to kill her opponent. Enraged, she attacked the principal, breaking several of his bones in the process.
She spent some months in juvenile hall, until the Joes offered to release her in exchange for joining the Misfits. However, the Joes decided Carmella's brutal personality was too hardcore for the mutant team, and they sent her to live with the Renegades, where Sgt. Slaughter was able to help cool her temper slightly. Carmella is proud of being a Renegade. She's so hardcore and angry, personality-wise, most of the other Renegades are scared of her a little bit!
Carmella's bitterness extends beyond her treatment upon her powers emerging. Her father earned a little extra money working as one of the henchmen of the mutant terrorist Magneto. However, Magneto grew tired of Unus for unknown reasons. As a result, Magneto set Unus up for an unspecified crime, and Unus is now in prison. Carmella let her anger stew for years, and she can't wait for the day she finally gets her hands on Magneto.
Chapter 7: Aftermath!
The Wrangling Brothers Circus
"Oh man…" Tim Wrangling and his performers looked at the collapsed tent. "It's ruined. It's all ruined!"
"Huh?" The circus group turned around and saw the West Coast Misfits.
"What do ye mean?" Rahne asked.
"The tent collapsed. No one's going to come back now. Tiboldt's won."
"Who is this Tiboldt?" Toshiro asked.
"You mean the old guy in the green ringmaster get up, right?" Kyle asked.
"Yes." Tim nodded with a blink. "How did you know?"
"The Thunderbolt accidentally overheard you yap to the old guy. Something about this circus being sold." Kyle replied. Tim Wrangling sighed.
"Yeah." He nodded. "Looks like I'm going to have to sell this circus after all."
"What do ye mean sell the circus?" Siryn asked.
"Who are you kids?" One performer, a clown, asked. "And how'd you do all that crazy stuff?"
"We're the West Coast Misfits." Theresa replied with a grin. "I'm Siryn, and these are me team-mates: Wildstar, X23, Wolfsbane, Longshot, Sunfire, Dazzler, Thunderbolt, Velocity, Thunderbird, Beast King, and Chilljaw." The kids said their hellos and waved.
"Oh great, a gaggle of mutants." Another clown groaned.
"Okay pal, I got my excuse!" John Proudstar tried to go for the clown's throat, but Beast King (As a bear) and Chilljaw held him back. "Let me go! Let me at that moron!"
"Calm down, mate!" Tommy exclaimed.
"You kids were born doing all that stuff?" Tim blinked.
"Our DNA was encoded with this stuff when we were born, but when we got to a certain age, the powers emerged." Ace shrugged.
"Wow. What can you kids do?" Tim asked in amazement.
"I have a sonic scream. I can generate sonic vibrations that I can use to fly as well." Theresa smiled.
"Me powers make me a werewolf." Rahne said shyly. "I got chased out of me hometown in Scotland because of it."
"Me shark-based mutation allows me to breathe underwater, increased resistance to pressure, enhanced senses of vision and smell, the ability to spit streams of freezing water and me grin." Tommy grinned, revealing his sharp front teeth.
"I can generate plasma in the form of solar flames." Toshiro said. "I can fire those flames or use them to protect myself and fly."
"The Thunderbolt is also a flyer. The Thunderbolt is the mighty master of electricity. He can create electrical power and form it into shapes at will. Like this." Kyle demonstrated by creating a small pyramid out of electricity.
"I got the speed of a cheetah on caffeine and I can create tornadoes." Terrell grinned.
"I can totally turn into animals." Jack grinned.
"Superhuman agility, and I can create good luck." Longshot grinned.
"I have metal claws, I have enhanced senses, and I can heal from any injury quickly." Athena shrugged.
"I'm a lion-like feral with enhanced abilities and claw lasers." Ace shrugged.
"I'm super strong, super fast, and super tough." John said simply.
"I can convert sound into light. I can use that light to do all sorts of things." Ali replied.
"I can create low-frequency sonic waves from my hands, man." Rictor added. "I can use them to create earthquakes or throw one mean punch."
"Sorry about what happened today, Mr. Wrangling." Quick-Kick apologized for the Malibu Joes.
"No, it's alright. I'm glad no one got hurt." Tim sighed. "But my circus is ruined. Looks like I'll have to sell to that jerk Tiboldt after all."
"Huh?" Footloose asked.
"Maynard Tiboldt. He owns another circus, one that has been in his family too. The guy does incredibly well. He and his performers are real jerks."
"Yes." A clown said. "His clowns tried to replace the water in our squirt guns with acid!"
"And his strongman tried to get me put in jail!" The strongman said.
"Oh, I wish there was a way to save my circus." Tim sighed. "I can barely pay these guys!"
"May be the West Coast Misfits can help." Kicker grinned.
"Aye. Maybe we can use our powers as part of acts for ye're next performance." Siryn added.
"Yes. Kyle would be an excellent barker." Toshiro smirked. "With his mouth, you'd hear him promote this circus all the way in Paris."
"Up yours, Sushi!" Kyle snapped.
"Use these kids as acts?" Tim blinked. "You know, that just may work."
"Oh boy! We get to be in a circus!" Rahne squealed excitedly.
"This will be…an experience." Toshi blinked.
"The Thunderbolt always loved appearing before a crowd." Kyle shrugged with a smile.
Well, looks like the insanity will keep on going! What madness will happen next? Which acts will the West Coast Misfits perform? (No, they're not being the freak show!) Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
