Mad Malibu Halloween
To Haretrigger: Hey Hare! Nice to hear from you again! It's been too long! Yeah, that's very true, Hare. However, Kyle's one of those people who makes a judgment about a person and then sticks to it. If he thinks someone's a coward, then he'll continue believing it until he can be convinced otherwise. And that takes a very extraordinary act. Tommy running out of a seafood restaurant with hungry patrons after him? Oh that is so rich! I just may use that! Anyway, I hope you like this new chapter! Please put me on your Author Alert List! Keep reading and reviewing!
To Sparky Genocide: Hey Sparky! Rahne suggesting broiled shark for dinner after Tommy has his way with the buffet? Yeah, I can imagine that happening. I'll see what I can do for that. (Tommy: What is this?! Bloody "Pick on Chilljaw Day"?!) Oh yeah, Kyle really does need to get over his hate-on for Lina Chakram. He believes that one day, she'll cause someone's death. Ironically, Kyle's temper and powers are more likely to make that happen. Anyway, I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you like this new chapter!
To Red Witch: Hey there, Red Witch! I've been keeping up with your stories "This Soap Opera Called Life" and "Living with Mutants is Hazardous to your Health", and I loved it! Man, Evan's parents can't get a break. And poor Jack White. You should've had Daredevil or the She-Hulk defend Evan. They're both lawyers.
To Raliena: Hey Rae! History was one of my favorite subjects too. (John: runs up and hugs Rae Someone understands me! I think John would like to pound Christopher Columbus, but Columbus is already dead. To be fair, Columbus wasn't stupid, he just made a mistake. His cartographer screwed up. Kyle is a big comic book freak, so Ace hoped to use a storyline from Kyle's favorite comic to illustrate the 'feud' between Kyle and Lina. He was basically trying to show that Lina's peaceful attitude makes her quite a bit stronger and a lot more courageous than Kyle expects her to be. And no, Kyle doesn't have a crush on Lina. I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you like this new one!

Chapter 5: The Surf Master Strikes!
A street in Malibu, California
"AAAAAGH!!!!" The Malibu High mascot screamed as he raced down the street on a bicycle. "LEAVE ME THE HECK ALONE, YOU THREE PSYCHOS!!!!" He was being chased by Tommy, Rictor, and Jack, all clad in the costumes of the Hanson Brothers from the Slap Shot movies. Tommy noticed a seafood restaurant nearby.
"Ooh!" The Australian-born shark-like mutant turned and skated into the restaurant. "Yummy, I love seafood. What the…YEAAAAAAAGH!!!!!" Tommy raced out of the restaurant. "HELP ME YOU GUYS!!!" Chilljaw raced out of the restaurant at amazing speed. A few seconds afterward, a whole group of patrons raced out after the shark-boy, carrying forks, knives, tarter sauce, cocktail sauce, butter, and lemon juice. "THESE PEOPLE ARE BLOODY CANNIBALS!!!"
The skies above Malibu
The Surf Master's visor started emitting a beeping noise.
"What?" Surf Master put a hand to the side of his visor. A readout on it said it detected mutant signatures. A sonic vibration generator, an animorph, and a mutant with shark-like DNA. Surf Master smirked. Three of the newer members of the West Coast Misfit team had powers just like those. "Rictor, Beast King, and Chilljaw." He laughed. It's amazing what one can get on the internet. He swooped downwards.
The street
"Nuts!" Jack exclaimed as he and Rictor rounded.
"Where'd he go, man?" Rictor scratched his head as he looked around.
"Like, that guy must have ninja training or something!" Jack exclaimed.
"Yeah, we're really going to have to beat him up when we catch him." Rictor nodded in agreement. He noticed something in the sky. "Yo Jack, what's that thing?" Rictor pointed up at the sky. Jack blinked as he looked in the direction Rictor was pointing. "It appears to be…getting bigger."
"It's not getting bigger…it's getting closer!" Jack said.
"Hello kiddies!!!" The Surf Master swooped down like a mad bird of prey, his skateboard firing its laser beams.
"YEOW!!!" Rictor and Jack leapt out of the way.
"What in the heck was that!?!" Jack exclaimed.
"The Surf Master is back in business, baby!! MWAHHH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The Surf Master cackled insanely as he went back into the air.
"The Surf Master! The original guys fought him!" Jack exclaimed.
"I think we'll need help." Rictor gulped.
Elsewhere
Tommy Sharpe skated down the street to avoid getting mauled by a bunch of hungry cannibalistic restaurant dwellers. He stopped at a street corner where he saw something very odd.
"AAAAAAAGH!!!! HELP US!!!! SAVE US!!!" The male members of the Hellions raced down the street. And they were on fire. Tommy blinked at that.
"Man, those plonkers must have ticked off the Hellion Sheilas again." Tommy blinked. "You'd think those bloody nuts would learn by now."
Malibu High
"Hmm…" Ace Starr thought he picked up a scent that was very familiar. He could not help but release an evil smirk. "Only you, Gambler Girl." Ace said under his breath.
"What's up, Ace?" Nick wondered.
"I just picked up a familiar scent. A girl who is not a student at your school, pal."
"Should I be worried?" Nick blinked. Ace laughed.
"Nah. I know what she wants if she's here. Yours truly." Ace grinned. "You see, the East Coast guys, they have a hate-on with another mutant team besides the X-Men. They're known as the Hellions. They're all mutants, like me. I once was sent undercover by a top-secret spy agency to go undercover as a member (1). Let's just say my charms had an…effect on the female members. I wrote songs about all four of them."
(1) - See the story "Hotter than Hellion". In that story, Wildstar made his debut as a spy sent by Nick Fury to pose as a Hellion.
"Really?" Nick blinked.
"Yep. You hear them all the time on the radio here in California: 'Monaco Nights', 'Wildcat', 'Fortuneteller Strut', and 'Gambler Girl'." Ace grinned.
"I love 'Fortuneteller Strut'!" Nick grinned. "That song rocks! What's it about?"
"A French girl." Ace replied. "But it wasn't her scent I thought I picked up. I thought it was the inspiration behind my song 'Gambler Girl'." His watch blinked. "Uh oh. I knew this night was too peaceful. Life never really calms down when you're a superhero." Ace sighed.
Looks like the West Coast Misfits' Halloween fun just came to an end! What insanity will happen next? Will the Surf master get his revenge? What just happened with Tommy? Will Rictor and Jack catch that mascot? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
