Halloween Havoc!

To Raliena: You called your local lunatic asylum, and they said they can take Virus, but not some of the loonies you know, huh? Maybe those loonies you know are too insane for them to handle, heh heh! I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you like this new one!

To Metal Dragon1: Well, maybe Exo used one of Johnny's inventions to give the illusion of him growing to an immense size. Johnny B. Goode is smart enough to create something like that. Why haven't the X-Girls started trying to take out Jenni yet? Maybe they're too busy worrying about the party to try yet! As for the translation collar, that was an idea purely of my own invention. I guess the collar's look was a bit of a subconscious tribute to you or something. You should check out my other fics! Oh yeah, and when does the new chapter of 'Take the Long Way Home' come up? I can't wait for it, man! Please! Put it up quick!

To Red Witch: Hey Red! I've been keeping up with your fics, and they are great so far! Poor old Foresight, he can't get a break, can he? Anyway, I hope you like the new chapter!

To Aaron: I'm glad you liked the chapters! I also like your costume suggestions. I personally can see Johnny B as Einstein, Mike as a Blackhawk, Jenni as Madonna, Vixen as a witch, Kid Superstar as Ash, Fyre dressed up in John's Superstar gear and makeup, and Eric as a Londoner. Anyway, glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you like the new one here!

Chapter 5: Party Time!

The Xavier Institute

It was the Halloween party! The Institute kids had their own little Halloween Party right in the Institute. Of course, the few human friends the X-Men had came along.

"So that's Jenni, huh?" Taryn said to Kitty. Taryn was dressed like a tiger, and Kitty was in a Wasp costume.

"Like, yep." Kitty sighed. Jenni was standing at a wall, dressed as Madonna in the early 80s. Standing around her was Remy dressed up like a playing card, Peter clad as the Tin Man from the wizard of Oz, Ray dressed up as Joe DiMaggio, and the newest member of the Jenni fan club, one Scott Summers, clad as the Hurricane. Taryn laughed.

"Yep. She's just like her cousins. Speaking of her cousins…" Taryn looked around. "Do you suppose I could have Craig's autograph? He's my favorite. That sneer is so hot."

"Don't let Wanda find out about that. She'll hex you into next week." Kitty whispered with a smirk, causing both Taryn and Kitty to laugh. "And it will cause Craig to throw a fit. The last thing that poor guy needs is to be considered a lady-killer like his brother."

"I guess so. But I can't help it. He's so cute in that bad boy sort of way."

"Oh Jennifer, can I talk to you?" Jean, dressed as a princess, said.

"Excuse me, boys." Jenni grinned. "Hey Jeannie, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing." Jean smiled. At least with me. You, however, are going to get yours. "Can I talk to you?"

"Yeah, sure." Jenni said. Jean led Jenni into a hall.

Downtown Bayville

Jamie raced down the street, riding what appeared to be a red, white, and brown techno-organic rat with wheels for legs. The rat was Exo, who was using his power to assume the form of anything mechanical to transform himself into Rattrap in his Transmetal form from Beast Wars. Around Exo's tail was a black duffel bag.

"Man, that was great!" Jamie laughed. "Ol' Kelly really had it coming to him!"

"Yeah, they guy was a jerk!" Exo laughed in a Brooklyn accent, typical of the Rattrap character's voice.

"Hey, there's Duncan's house!" Jamie pointed. Exo slowed down as they approached Duncan's place.

"I got an idea." Exo smirked. "Get off me, and I'll show you." Jamie jumped off Exo and removed the bag from his tail. A mist surrounded "Rattrap"'s body. The mist was accompanied by the sounds of metal clanking. When the mist cleared, Exo had turned into a red robot, carrying a strange gun that looked like a pair of long gattling gun barrels with Exo's hand between them.

"You're not going to hurt anyone, are you?" Jamie blinked. The robot, whom Jamie recognized as the Gundam Heavyarms from Gundam Wing, looked up and down the building.

"My scans detect no lifeforms in the house." Exo replied. He used a rocketpack on his back to fly into the air, then hidden panels opened up all over his body, revealing various cannons and missile launchers. Exo launched a fiery blitz at the house, causing it to explode.

"Okay…" Jamie blinked. He opened up the duffle bag. "Well, let's go frame him."

The Bayville Mall

Virus observed members of Bayville High's football team snack on food in the food court. Virus sneered.

Neanderthals. They're all bloody Neanderthals. They all only care about themselves. They lack the intelligence to read anything that has no pretty pictures. Virus mentally snarled. He smirked outwardly as he rolled up his jacket sleeve, revealing a futuristic dart-shooter mounted underneath his wrist, looking similar to Spider-Man's web-shooters. Virus loaded a needle-like dart into it. "Let's see if we can't brighten you up a bit." Virus waited until one player went to the bathroom. Virus followed, fired the tiny dart, and it hit one player in the butt. The big player didn't notice. When he went to the sink to wash up, he started convulsing and throwing what appeared to be a fit of some kind. As he screamed and threw the fit, his skin started turning gray. Virus watched with an evil smirk.

"Happy Halloween, Toad."

The Xavier Institute

"Just go right inside and you'll get a surprise." Jean opened a door into a dark room. You'll get a surprise alright, Jenni Starr.

"Cool! Thanks, Jean!" Jenni walked in and closed the door. Jean snickered evilly. Her jaw dropped when Jenni emerged, carrying a book.

"Time Life Presents: Headlines of the 80s! Thank you!" Jenni smiled and walked away.

"What?" Jean blinked. She entered the room. "Huh? I was sure it would work…hey…AAAAAGH!!!!! I HATE THAT SHINING STAR!!!"

Well, well, well! Looks like the insanity is still continuing! What madness will happen next? Will the X-Girls keep trying to take out Jenni? What was up in the food court? What costumes will our heroes wear? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
