Rising Starrs!
To Sparky Genocide: Hey there, Sparky! Yeah, they're in LA. The home town of the Starr Brothers. The Starr Brothers had to have been recruited from somewhere, and it is highly unlikely that these two mutant identical twin brothers from California would find themselves just wandering into a top secret military base in Florida and ask to join the Misfits. Wanda and Craig captured only to torment Dr. Mindbender, huh? That sounds doable. I'll see what I can do! I also liked your suggestion of Pietro wondering why Wanda is acting so strangely around Craig and her answering his question in the form of a hexbolt right in the mouth. I hope you like this new chapter!
To Red Witch: Hey there Red Witch! Yeah, I figured Trasks' kids were mutants. I just realized that the fact that Trask's son and daughter were touched upon in my X-Men guide book! Yeah, his daughter Tanya is known as Sanctity, I think. If that isn't irony, I don't know what is! I have an idea for you, Red: An Evo story about this kid who hates mutants not because of the fear of them destroying humanity, but out of envy because he wants to really be a superhero. That would be unique, and I can imagine in the Marvel Universe that there are some people who do secretly wish they could have superpowers. I love the new chapters of your work, Red! I hope you like my new chapter!
To Raliena: Hey Rae! The scene with Wanda and Craig happened a little after the scene with Paul and the female Joes. I guess that can cause some confusion. I hope you like this new chapter!
To Aaron: Yeah, this story marks the first meeting of the Starr brothers and the Misfits. Yeah, the Joes and the Misfits really all do love each other. Their relationship is just like any other family, only one hundred times more dysfunctional. I hope you like the new chapter of this story!
Author's Note: Hey folks! L1701E here! This chapter contains a very special cameo. Enjoy!

Chapter 7: Rescue!
A desert island in the middle of nowhere
"Why me?" Cobra Commander moaned. He was sitting on the island, leaning back against a palm tree. "All I wanted to do was create an organization that would allow me to rule the world and bend it to my whim. And it ends up containing liars and sneaks that are worse than me, a squad of insane stupid smelly bikers led by a trio of psychotic siblings, an mad geneticist who fancies himself a rap video dancer, a Scotsman who enjoys making me look stupid, an Eastern European broad who plots constantly, and I never get to finish my &$&$&$ coffee!" The Commander sighed. "You what it's like right?" Silence followed. "Yeah, I thought so. Thanks for listening to me. No else does." Cobra Commander turned, and it was realized he was talking to a volleyball with a red face painted on it. "Thanks, Wilson. You're the best."
The beach
"Me, a Misfit?" Paul blinked. "Yeah, but what about Craig? I can't join the Misfits without him. For most of my life, I never knew I had a brother until my mutant powers emerged and I gained"
"Craig can join too, Paul." Lady Jaye said. "There's room for him, too." A spike of pain hit Paul's head.
"Uhn!"
"Paul, are you alright?" Cover Girl asked.
$&#$ VIPERS!!!! Craig's voice roared in Paul's head. GO THE &$ AWAY!!!!
"Craig!" Paul exclaimed. "Craig! Something's wrong with Craig! He's in trouble! I heard him in my mind!" Althea ran up to Cover Girl.
"Wanda's just called us! There's a situation! She and Craig are being ambushed in an ice cream shop downtown!" Althea said.
"C'mon!" Cover Girl ordered.
"What about me?" Paul wondered. "Craig's in trouble!"
"He's right! We can't just leave him here!" Lady Jaye realized.
"We got no choice." Cover Girl sighed after thinking about it. "We'll have to bring Paul with us."
"It'll be dangerous, though!" Althea exclaimed.
"I've lived in LA's streets for three years with my brother, Althea." Paul grinned. "I can face anything."
The Ice Cream Shop
Wanda and Craig had upturned a few tables to protect themselves from the tracer fire. Luckily for them both, Wanda's training and Craig's experience with being caught in gunfights allowed them to form a table barrier without injury to either of them. Craig fired his eye laser at the Vipers, causing several Vipers to drop their weapons as the laser burned their hands. Wanda peeked up to throw a hex-bolt here and there. Some hex-bolts caused Vipers to faint, others caused them to fall, and still others caused their weapons to explode.
"There's too many! We can't hold them all back!" Wanda growled.
"No kidding!" Craig agreed. "How long until your fellow 'Misfits' arrive?!"
"Knowing my brother, he should be arriving right about…" Wanda saw a streak race through the Vipers, knocking them down. "Now."
"AAAAGH!!!" Several Vipers got covered in slime, and they got ambushed by Althea, Xi, Todd, and Trinity. In moments, Fred and Lance arrived, providing their own talents. In moments, the Vipers were all dealt with.
"Good job, kids." Recondo said as he ran to the scene with Lady Jaye, Cover Girl, and Paul.
"Craig, you alright?" Paul asked with worry.
"Just ticked off as usual." Craig replied. "Nothing you need to be concerned about. You know I've been caught in gunfights in the past. I know how to avoid getting shot."
"We're alright." Wanda nodded. "You guys arrived in time. We couldn't hold them back much longer."
"I think I may have some idea where they went. I don't have an exact idea, considering it's in an area full of alike-looking warehouses."
"Only would do something so ingenious, yet so nuts." Recondo rolled his eyes.
"I don't know." Xi said. "In my time with GI Joe and as a Misfit, I have noticed that we tend to do ingenious, yet crazy things all the time."
Well, well, well! Looks like GI Joe is on the move! What insanity will happen next? What will Cobra Commander do next on the island? How will Dr. Mindbender react to the failed operation? Does he really fancy himself a rap video dancer? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
