Circus Craziness!
To Raliena: That sounds like one strange line. I wonder from which TV show you heard that from. Sounds like something from Friends or Seinfeld. It also sounds like the person that said was getting sad or angry about being single, heh heh. Anyway, I'm really glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you enjoy this brand new chapter!
To Sparky Genocide: Hey Sparky! Good to hear from you again, man. Anyway, that's one strange suggestion you have there. Terrell accusing Princess Python of having a thing for snakes. You know what…Now that I think about it…I can imagine everyone's favorite African-American speedster cracking wise during the fight and Princess Python screaming that she doesn't have a thing for snakes. At the same time, she acts…weird around her snakes. Yeah, I can see that happening. Anyway, I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you like this brand new chapter!
To Red Witch: Yeah, this is not good, indeed RW. By the way, I can't wait for more stories from you as well as more chapters of 'This Soap Opera called Life'. By the way, I want to know how do you do a good one-shot? Sometimes, I start writing these stories as one-shots, but they end up becoming stories that encompass multiple chapters. I'm glad you liked that last chapter, Red. I also hope you like this new chapter! Speaking of new chapters, I read the new chapter of 'This Soap Opera Called Life' and I liked it! I would not be surprised if the WWE or UFC got their first teen gladiator!
Hey folks, It's Profile Time Again! (Crowd hoots, hollers, cheers, screams, chants and claps. Some hold up signs) This time, we take another look at a Joe caretaker who is at home in the jungles, natural and urban, Recondo!
Recondo
Real Name: Daniel M. LeClaire
Affiliation: Army
Rank: E-4
Primary Military Specialty: Infantry, Airplane/Helicopter Pilot
Secondary Military Specialty: Intelligence, Misfit Handler (Starchild, Darkstar, Lila Cheney)
Birthplace: Wheaton, Wisconsin
Bio: As a child growing up in Wisconsin, Recondo grew to hate the cold. He fell in love with rainforests and jungles, desiring to live in the heat of those areas. He also has been flying prop-engine and helicopters since the age of 17. When he enlisted in the Army, he took up Jungle Warfare, becoming a Cadre member at Jungle Warfare Training Center. He also took up Flight School. Before joining the Joes, he served in the 7th Airmobile Assault Unit.
Even though he is a trained pilot, Recondo feels more at home in the jungle, where he thinks of it as a huge living organism which he knows and is at peace with. In the urban jungles of Los Angeles, Recondo, alongside Lady Jaye and Cover Girl, underwent a mission in which Dr. Mindbender and Tomax and Xamot were capturing local urchins and mutants for genetic experimentation. In that mission, the three Joes rescued two local mutants who escaped their capture named Paul and Craig Starr. The two mutants led the three Joes to the Cobras' base and helped stop them. The Joes offered all the rescued mutants membership in the Misfits, but only Starchild and Darkstar accepted. The brothers were placed under Recondo's care.
Later on, Recondo also ended up caring for the interstellar teleporter named Lila Cheney.
Chapter 14: Circus Attack Continues!
The Wrangling Brothers' Circus
"WHOOO!!!!!" Jack Pulver, the member of the Circus of Crime known as the Human Cannonball, whooped like a football fan. He also started pulling some stupid poses. "OOH YEAH!!!"
"NOT AGAIN!!!" The circus-goers screamed as they ran away.
"Tiboldt." Tim growled as he watched Jack continue to pull stupid poses. "I am going to kill him."
"I'll take care of this guy, bro. He's an idiot." Terrell chuckled. He raced up to the Human Cannonball. "Hey Bullet Boy! Can't catch this!" Terrell raced around Pulver, laughing and hooting. "Can't catch me, baby!" Pulver swiped his fist at the mutant Compton native, but all he kept hitting was the air current generated in the wake of the super-fast African-American.
"Hold still, you super-fast fruitcake!" Jack screamed.
"Make-me-make-me-make-me-make-me!" Terrell teased. A snake flew at him. "Yipe!" Terrell skidded to a halt as the huge boa constrictor wrapped itself around the mutant speedster.
"Aww, mah snake adores you sugah." Princess Python purred as she sauntered up to the African-American teenager, a python around her shoulders.
"The feeling ain't mutual." Terrell moaned. "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"
"Hang on, Terrell!" Siryn flew in and blasted the Princess with her sonic scream.
"I got this!" Thunderbird managed to pull the snake off Terrell.
"Thanks, man."
"Hey kiddies!" Eliot "Crafty" Franklin, aka the Clown, fired a machine gun at the West Coast Misfits. Within seconds, a whole group of clowns joined him in the firing of the machine guns. "I hope that you like doing the Bullet Dance!"
"Aw snap!" Terrell started dancing around at high speed to avoid getting shot. "This wasn't in the job description!"
"Where's Sunfire and Thunderbolt?!" Siryn asked as the West Coast Misfits and Malibu Joes engaged the Circus of Crime.
"How should I know?!" Beast King exclaimed as he whacked a couple clowns with gorilla fists.
"We'll know where they are. All we got to do is wait for the sounds of cursing and arguing." X23 quipped as she slashed open a couple clowns' machine guns.
"We won't have to wait long then, I guess."
Outside the tent
"Man, you really did it this time, jabroni!" Kyle hollered at Toshiro as he used static sparks to get some attacking birds off his back.
"I am not to blame for this!" Toshiro Yashida yelled back, throwing solar fireballs at the wagons in an attempt to make them scatter and flip over. He got swarmed by Rajah's trained birds as well. Toshiro eyed Kyle using electrical fly swatters to swat away the birds. "Amusing way to deal with our situation, Gaijin. However Kyle, Sunfire has no need for parlor tricks such as yours!" He sent a few birds scattering with a solar flame blitz. It was more meant to frighten than harm.
"If you don't like the Thunderbolt's way of doing things, then shut your mouth and learn to like it!" Kyle snapped, smacking a bird with a swatter. "Take that, Beakface!" Maynard Tiboldt, with an evil smirk on his face, climbed on top of one of the wagons. He put on his top hat, which had a swirly disc on it. The swirly disc was actually a hypnotic device used to control crowds. "Hey jabroni!" Kyle called. Toshi turned. "The ringleader!" Kyle grinned and powered up some more. "Let's roast this jabroni!" Kyle and Toshi dive-bombed toward the Ringmaster. Maynard Tiboldt smirked and turned on his hat-mounted hypnotic device.
Uh oh! Looks like more trouble is afoot! What insanity will happen next? What'll happen to Kyle and Toshi? Can our favorite soldiers and teenage mutants save the day? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
