Halloween Havoc!

To SickmindedSucker: Yeah, reviews are very good things, indeed. Well, thank you very much for the offer, I appreciate it. Yeah, Scott and Jean should've fried, but I still need them to torture in this story! And yes, Virus is indeed insane. Insane people generally have trouble getting the hint. You see, Virus truly believes that deep down, Althea does love him, and he believes that Althea is being controlled by the Toad. I hope to have more plan-exploding-in-X-Girl-faces soon. Here's more insanity for you! I hope you like it!

To Sparky Genocide: Hey Sparky, I like your idea. Did you get that idea of zombies ignoring Bobby from the Simpsons Halloween special? In it, the zombies ignored Homer. These zombies that Virus created are different, though. They're not dead. They are alive, just under Virus's control. He turned them into cyborgs because he feels more comfortable with machines rather than organic life forms as a side effect of his mutation. He also doesn't like organic life, a side effect of his mutation and insanity. I hope you like the new chapter! And please check out my story "The Starr Chronicles"! I hope you like the new chapter!

To Raliena: Hey Rae! Yeah, a Misfit team can handle any situation, official or unofficial. Besides, the Southsiders have the X-Men backing them up! I hope you like the new chapter!

To RogueFanKC: Hey there RogueFan! It has been way too long since I last heard from you! Please put me on your Author Alert list! Yep, Jennifer Starr has got several of the X-Boys under her spell. And I thought it would be a nice change to torture the X-Girls for once. They can get jealous too, you know. Yeah, I thought Taryn deserves a guest appearance. Besides, think about this: It's been known that the members of the Starr Famil have incredible charm. Guess who they're related to! And Craig is a musician, so he probably could expect some girls to find him attractive. What makes you think Wanda and Taryn would be friends? I've also been reading your fic "The Light in the Heart of the Misfit" and I like it! I hope you use my characters! I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you like this new one!

To Red Witch: Hey Red! I've been keeping up with "This Soap Opera Called Life" and I loved the story so far! Man, John can't shut up! I hope you like the new chapter!

To Aaron: Hey Aaron! Glad you liked the madness so far! I kind of would expect Vixen to be able to fly like a witch. She can actually fly in any way she wants. I'm glad you liked the scene with Vixen and Fyre, and hopefully I can have Lisa meet the Australian pyromaniac of her dreams sometime soon. (Angelica: A girl who has the hots for Pyro. Only in America will you see something that insane) And yes, the battle is about to begin! I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you like this new one!

Disclaimer: "And now for something completely different!"

Chapter 8: Attack of the Cyber-Zombies!

The skies of Bayville

"YEOW!!!" Lisa exclaimed as laser raced by her in the air. "Hey watch it!"

"Since when could average folks do this?!" Vicki exclaimed as she dodged a couple missiles.

"Since I came to town, you bloody trespassers!" Virus flew up to the two Southside Misfits, arms crossed, and a scowl on his face. His Battle Pack was in a jetpack form. "Who are you?!"

"Vixen and Fyre." Vixen said. "Who are you?"

"You inferior creatures can call me Virus." Virus smirked. "Like the people of this town?"

"What happened?" Fyre exclaimed.

"Like you two birds, I am a mutant, and proud of it!" Virus snorted. "I have the power to control mechanical devices as well as invent. I created these tiny nanites. In case you stupid organic creatures don't know what they are, nanites are very tiny robots, so small they cannot be seen by the eye. I used them to transform these pathetic humans into my own army of cyborg zombies." Virus laughed. "Now if you don't mind, I have an Institute to destroy."

"Why are you after the X-Men?" Vixen asked.

"I hate them." Virus grinned. "And I love destroying innocent lives."

"And they say I'm nuts!" Fyre said in shock. "You're a monster!"

"Thank Todd Tolensky for making me a monster." Virus scowled. "Because of him, my beloved Althea is his unwilling slave, her beautiful soul trapped in a robotic shell by that foul-smelling, swamp-dwelling, muck-drinking demon!"

Wait, according to Kitty, Todd and Althea were together since not long after the Toad came to the Pit. Vixen put her finger on her chin. According to this psycho, Todd stole Althea away from him. But then, Jake told me that Virus is a psychopath, and he's willing to kill to get his paws on Althea.

"Are you bloody wenches going to get out of my way or what?!" Virus snapped. "You two birds remind me of Zandar's last girlfriend, and she turned out to be some cheap trick from Santa Monica Boulevard!"

"Why you dirty--!" Fyre growled. She formed a big fireball and pitched it at the mad inventor.

"Yeow!" Virus dodged the fireball and snarled.

The Xavier Institute

"Wow. You X-Men must be real popular." Jenni blinked as she peeked out at the window. Bobby Drake peeked out at the window.

"Aw man! More mutant protesters!" Iceman moaned. "They always come around around this time." Jean! We got a problem! Jean went to the window.

"More mutant protesters…Wait a minute, since when are they gray-skinned, and have saw blades for hands?" Jean blinked.

"Maybe they're mutant-hating cyborgs." Jenni blinked. Jean shot her a you-are-an-idiot look.

"Vicki! Hang on!" Jason said into his phone. "Jenni! It's Vick and Lisa! They're in trouble!"

"There are these robot things bashing their way into the gates! What do we do?!" Jenni exclaimed.

In town

"YEOW!!!" Virus screamed as he ran down the street, amidst a rain of red hex-bolts and fireballs. "Hey! Attack 'em!" Virus snapped at a certain cyber-zombie: Duncan Matthews. He just stood there and drooled. "Hey!" Virus exclaimed at the zombie. "Destroy them!" Virus snapped. "Hey stupid!" Duncan still stood there and drooled. "AAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!"

Well, well, well! Looks like the cyber-zombies are on the rampage. What insanity will happen next? Can the X-Men and Southside Misfits stop them? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
