Halloween Havoc!
To Aaron: Hey Aaron! Yes, the fun never stops when the Southside Misfits hit the scene. Well, Jean and Tabby are just a little bit hypocritical when it comes to their actions towards the Shining Star. Trouble indeed lives up to his name. I wouldn't be surprised if he was born in jail. I'm glad you liked seeing Duncan's house getting blown up. He deserves it. You should see how Jamie and Exo framed him, but that's for later. Yeah, Virus is here. Johnny B would be a great opponent for Virus, techno-wizard vs. Techno-wizard. I'm glad you liked the last chapter! I hope you like the insanity in this new one!
To Sparky Genocide: Hey Sparky! Maybe I will have the next victim be Rogue. I hope you like the new chapter, man!
To SickmindedSucker: Yeah, maybe I will drop a review sometimes. Thanks for the offer. Your story is nuts. I may give the story "Never Have I Ever" a shot down the line. Glad to allow you to use the can fight scene. If you ever want to use anything else from my fics, or you want info, let me know! Yeah, I thought it was funny how Fyre set Jean and Scott, ablaze, but I think they got the flames put out in time before their costumes were badly damaged. Well, Virus is psychotic, you see. He is obsessed with Althea Delgado, the leader of the East Coast Misfits. He believes they were in love at some point, but Toad, whom he thinks tormented him all his life, stole Althea away and brainwashed her. Now he's bent on ending Toad's life. Here's a new chapter! Enjoy!
To Red Witch: Hey there, Red! I saw the new chapter of "Living With Mutants is Hazardous to Your Health" and I loved it! Poor Vi. She's going to go crazy! And yes, Boom Boom went boom! Heh heh heh. Oh, you'll see Duncan' s folks throw a fit. It is going to be great!
To Metal Dragon1: Yeah, Virus will get what he deserves. And there will be a battle, don't worry about it. Duncan as a cyborg zombie. Yeah…now that I think about it, I can imagine Virus going crazy with a cyborg Duncan and yelling at him for being so stupid. I can't wait for the new chapter of 'Take the Long Way Home'? Put it up, quick, man! And here's a new chapter for you. Enjoy!
To Raliena: Hey Rae! I'm sure it won't be long until Duncan and Kelly are cyber-zombified. And I was glad to clear that confusion up for you. Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 7: Discovery!
A street in Bayville
Duncan Matthews walked down the street, in a panic.
"Oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God…" Duncan moaned in a panicked tone. He was shaking his head. "What'll I do!? My parents are gonna kill me, my parents will never leave me alone again, and, and, and…" He looked up and saw a couple of his fellow football players stagger towards him as cyborg zombies. "Oh my God…" Duncan blinked. "You guys are so drunk." He chuckled. The zombies stopped. "Guys? Guys? Hello?" One zombie's fingers lengthened up into claws, and another's hands turned into gattling guns. "Eep. Fellas?!" The gun-toter fired his cannons, and the clawed zombie leapt at him, slashing at the football player. "EEEEEEEEEEK!!!!" Duncan raced off into a warehouse.
"'Ello, musclehead." A familiar English-accented voice grinned. Duncan turned around and he screamed louder and even girlier than ever before.
The Xavier Institute
While Jason Vincent had gathered the Southside Misfits together to discuss the Virus problem, Rogue was dealing with a problem of her own.
"There." The southerner wiped her brow in satisfaction as she looked up at her invention: A piano held up in the sky by a rope-and-pulley invention. "That'll show that Shining Star. Oh, here she comes." Rogue left an object under the piano, then ducked behind a corner and held the rope tightly. Jenni blinked as she eyed the object: A DVD copy of Caddyshack. It had a bow on it and had a tag on it that said: 'TO: Jenni FROM: Rogue. Hope we can be friends!" Rogue peeked around the corner and watched Jenni pick up the DVD. The southern mutant gleefully whipped her head back around and let go of the rope. She waited a couple seconds, and then…
"Awww, that's so nice. Rogue isn't so bad. I knew she was a big sweetheart underneath that Goth makeup and bad attitude." Jenni smiled as she walked away.
WHAT?! Rogue mentally screamed. She ran under the piano as Jenni walked away. "Huh?" Rogue scratched her head. She heard a creaking noise. She looked upward and the piano came down. "OWWWWWWWWCH!!!!! AH HATE THAT SHINING STAR!!!!"
"What do we do, boss?" Mike asked Jason. The adapter put his finger to his chin in thought.
"Fyre, I want you to take to the air and scout out the area." Jason ordered. Fyre responded with a wacky salute and a big grin. "Vixen, go with her." He then whispered an after thought in her ear: "Make sure she doesn't give the town reason to call the fire department." Vixen nodded.
"What's going on?" Scott asked.
"We're planning a tea party." Mike grinned. "Want to join."
"Something going on downtown. We'll check it out." Jason said.
"Bayville is X-Men territory. Maybe we should send someone to help." Scott said as Lisa and Vicki left the room.
"Look Scott, you guys were gracious enough to let us visit. Give yourselves a break. Let us deal with it." Jenni suggested with a grin.
"Besides, it's probably just some crooks in an armored car. Nothing we haven't dealt with." Mike shrugged.
The skies over Bayville
Vixen and Fyre flew over the city in their own ways: Fyre in a sheath of flame, and Vixen riding her red guitar like a witch riding a broom.
"I'm bored, Vick." Lisa whined. "I want to set a fire!"
"Now I know why you like Pyro so much. The East Coast guys must love having him around." Vixen groaned.
"Hey, what's going on down there?" Lisa pointed downward. Vicki looked down.
"Huh?" Vicki pulled out a pair of futuristic binoculars from her jacket and looked down through them. "What? Hey Lisa! Look at this!" Vicki handed the binoculars to Lisa. Lisa looked down through them.
"Holy smoke!" Lisa exclaimed. "Is it normal for everyone to be robot zombies?"
"Based on what I heard about this town, it might be normal, but we should call in anyway." Vicki said.
Well, well, well! Looks like the big fight just may begin! What insanity will happen next? What happened to Duncan? Can the X-Men and Southside Misfits stop Virus and his army? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
