Circus Craziness!

To Sparky Genocide: I'm glad you liked the scene with Rahne scaring the living daylights out of Princess Python. I thought it would be good for a laugh, and I can imagine Rahne actually attacking an opponent that way: Just walking up to them and saying 'Boo'. Hmm, the clowns arguing and smacking each other while the West Coast Misfits watch, huh? Hmm, sounds cool. Anyway, don't worry, you'll see your ape idea. Relax, man. Anyway, I hope you like this brand spankin' new chapter!

To Red Witch: Yeah, you can have a lot of fun with a big old brawl, especially if the Misfits are involved. I read the new chapters of "This Soap Opera called Life", and it's gone strange. Underground mutant fighting. Why can't they join the UFC like everyone else? Anyway, I hope you like this new chapter!

To Raliena: Hey Rae! Good to hear from you again! Here you go, a chapter of insanity! I hope you like it!

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 can back up his boasts: Flint!

Flint

Real Name: Dashiell R. Faireborn

Affiliation: Army

Rank: Chief Warrant Officer

Primary Military Specialty: Infantry

Secondary Military Specialty: Helicopter Pilot, Demolitions

Birthplace: Wichita, Kansas

Bio: Flint's path to Joe membership started when he joined the Army. Before then, he was a Rhodes scholar who had earned a degree in English Literature. He had enlisted in the Army out of boredom, growing tired of scholarly pursuits. In the Army, he graduated Ranger School, Flight Warrant Officers School, Airborne School, and Special Forces School, all with top honors! He also had time to become a qualified helicopter pilot and demolitions handler.

On the field, Flint garnered the reputation of being an outspoken, self-confident braggart and a bit of an arrogant jerk (Even though some had to admit, he did earn quite a lot of bragging rights), and a reputation for leading very dangerous rescue missions and returning with low casualties. Impressed with his record, Duke recruited Flint, whom he had known and befriended a few years beforehand.

On the team, Flint immediately was drawn to fellow Joe Alison Hart-Burnett, codename Lady Jaye. Lady Jaye at first thought of him as an arrogant jerk, once even nailing him with a punch in the mouth! However, during a mission, Flint ran into a squad of Cobra Vipers and took them all on by himself, giving Lady Jaye time she needed to call for Joe backup. Lady Jaye was impressed by Flint's willingness to lay it all on the line to help others, and decided that maybe his arrogant attitude was just an act. Their relationship blossomed, and eventually, they married and had a daughter. Joe lore says that when Flint and Lady Jaye have a marital spat, mountains crumble and the heavens tremble.

Chapter 16: More fight insanity!

Inside the Wrangling Brothers' circus tent

"We're going to get crushed!" Terrell exclaimed.

"Out of my way!" Teena the Fat Lady roared as she raced by Terrell and Randy. The Compton-born and Mexico-born mutants scratched their heads in confusion.

"What was that all about, man?" Rictor asked Velocity.

"I have no idea." Velocity blinked. Then they noticed Tommy sprawled out between them.

"Ohhhhhhh…" The Australian shark-like mutant moaned. Terrell and Rictor helped him up. "Me spine…what happened?"

"I think that." Rictor blinked as he saw a howler monkey run by carrying a pink purse. Teena the Fat Lady was chasing it.

"Come back here with my purse, you little fleabag!" The large woman yelled at the monkey.

"Think that monkey is related to BR?" Terrell wondered.

"I would not be surprised." Randy replied. Meanwhile, another fight was breaking out.

"Watch it, you nearly shot me!" One clown snapped at another.

"Well, you should watch where you're going!" He snapped back.

"Me?!"

"Yeah you, jerk!"

"You can't aim!"

"You can't walk!"

"You're a moron!"

"Dweeb!"

"Idiot!"

"Dork!" The two clowns started slapping the snot out of each other. The other clowns tried to hold them back, but strangely, something went wrong. The other clowns all started beating the snot out of each other. X23, who planned to engage them all, stopped and blinked.

"Well…this is strange. And weirder, I don't have a sarcastic, yet funny remark for this." The clone blinked.

"I think you did a good job." Ace grinned. He was sitting on a deck chair, watching the clown fight, sipping soda and eating popcorn. Athena noticed an empty deck chair next to his. Ace tapped it. "Come on down, and enjoy a front row seat. Careful though, you may get hit with rubber chickens." Athena shrugged and took the seat. She found Ace holding out the paper popcorn bowl. "Popcorn?" X23 shrugged, took a handful, and started chowing down.

"Man, these clowns are stupid." X23 blinked.

"Yup." Ace agreed. "Total morons."

"I hate this." The Clown grumbled, squeezing the painted bridge of his nose in annoyance. "Those loons can't aim, can't juggle, fight constantly, and all they care about is where the next keg of Scotch is coming from! I knew I should've stayed with the Arizona State Fair!"

"You are an idiot, you know that?" X23 told "Crafty" Franklin. The Clown glared at the clown.

"Bite me, kid."

"No thanks, I might catch something." X23 smirked. The Clown snarled. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at X23.

"I oughta blow your head off, punk!" The Clown snapped.

"Go ahead, monkey boy. It'll only make me mad." Athena smirked. "And you wouldn't like me when I'm mad."

"And it don't take much to make her mad." Ace added with a laugh. "One time, Kyle and Toshi were having an argument and they scorched one of Athena's old costumes. They ended up in the infirmary for a week!" Ace burst out laughing as he remembered it. Meanwhile Princess Python was having the time of her life. Well, not really.

"EEEEEK!!!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!! MONSTER!!! MONSTER!!!" Zelda DuBois ran by, a laughing Rahne chasing after her, arms outstretched, and in her half-wolf form.

"Come here and give me a hug!" Rahne laughed.

Well, well, well! Looks like the insanity just keeps on coming! What will happen next?! Where'd that monkey come from? Will Princess Python be able to escape Rahne? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
