Rising Starrs!
To Red Witch: Hey there Red Witch! I read the new chapter of "This Soap Opera Called Life" and I loved it! Man, I heard some father-son reunions can be explosive, but Proteus meeting Joe took the cake, Witchy Woman! It really did! Yeah, it is fun watching Cobra Commander's sanity go bye-bye, not that it was there to begin with. I think the sharks are finding it more amusing to watch him rather than eat him. Hope you enjoyed your mini-vacation as much as I know you will enjoy this new chapter!
To Sparky Genocide: Hey there, Sparky Genocide! The Commander getting hit on the head? I like that idea! I'll see if I can fit it in somewhere. I also like Cobra Commander hallucinating that he and a more interactive version of Wilson in a Beach Blanket Bingo-like place with dancing girls in bikinis. And Wilson could end up meeting Tom Hanks. Maybe I can fit something like that in somewhere. And I can certainly imagine the sharks' reaction. Enjoy the new chapter!
To Raliena: Hey there Rae! Yeah, I think Paul's getting that message right now! Enjoy the new chapter!
To Aaron: Hey there Aaron! Well, it's an old joke, that when a group gets locked in a jail-like place, someone automatically knows how to play the harmonica and sing some blues. And technically, rock music does have roots in the blues. I'm glad you liked the moment with Wanda and Pietro. And the machine that Paul heard? That was no machine, Aaron. No machine, indeed. Cobra Commander's entire role in this story was a warped Cast Away moment! After all, as Jeff Foxworthy once said, you know you are an insane redneck when the chickens worry about your mental state. I wonder how Cobra Commander will escape too, to be honest with you. Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 12: Unleash the Monster!
The island
"I!" BONK!! "WANT!" BONK! "OFF!" BONK! "THIS!" BONK! "ISLAND!!" BONK! Cobra Commander kept banging his head against a palm tree. "I hate this place! I want to go home!" The terrorist leader failed to notice that his head-banging had caused a coconut on the tree to start to come loose. He looked at Wilson. "Don't start, Wilson! I don't need your smart-alec remarks, pal!"
He's gone completely mad, Bruce. Absolutely bonkers. One of the sharks said to another.
Yes, Bruce. He appears to have lost all his marbles, as you Yank sharks would say.
"Wilson, I am going to kick your butt if you don't stop making smart-alec OW!!!" Cobra Commander screamed. A coconut had just fallen from the palm tree and knocked the terrorist leader in the noggin. "Oh…" Cobra Commander moaned, holding his head. "Huh?" He blinked underneath his one-way mirrored faceplate. He saw himself on a beautiful beach, which a malt shop. It was covered by beautiful girls in colorful bikinis, and surf rock music, kind of like the Beach Boys, was playing in the background. The scene looked like a 1960s beach film. A couple girls giggled and beckoned the Commander. "YEAH BABY!!!!" The Commander ran to the girls and started dancing with them.
"Great Party, huh?" The voice of Tom Hanks said. Cobra Commander looked around and saw Wilson smiling up at him. The animated-looking Wilson had tiny arms and legs, like a cartoon character. "It sure is awesome, isn't it?"
"GROOVY!!!" Cobra Commander squealed delightfully. From the Commander's point of view, he was in the middle of a 1960s party. However in the point of view of the sharks, who could safely be considered quite a bit more sane than Cobra Commander, he was dancing by himself. And it looked creepy.
My God, he's snapped. One shark gulped. I think we'd better get out of here!
Ah, relax Bruce. Another shark laughed. This is too hilarious! Hey Bruce, got the camera?
Yeah. Another shark held up a camcorder. This is going to be great!
Dr. Mindbender's Secret Lab
"Alright, Mindbender!" Lady Jaye snarled. The Joes and the Misfits had cornered Dr. Mindbender and the Crimson Guard Twins in the control room of the secret lab area.
"Not so fast, my Joe friends!" Dr. Mindbender grinned. He pressed a button on a control panel, and a secret door opened up. "Bye!" He and the Crimson Guard Twins raced down the hidden hall. But they stopped when they heard screaming.
"What was…" Tomax started.
"…that noise?" Xamot finished.
"Oh no." Mindbender gulped. Paul and Craig raced toward the Cobra flunkies, the homeless bums behind them.
WHAM!!!
The Starr Brothers and the captured urchins literally ran over Mindbender and the Crimson Guard Twins as they tried to escape. The group raced out past the Misfits and the Joes.
"What was that all about?" Xi wondered, scratching his head in confusion. Cover Girl carefully crept to the door, and peeked in. Her eyes widened when she heard a growling. The source came into view. It was a bizarre creature that looked like a combination of Godzilla, a lobster, and the Thing. It had a Godzilla-like body, which was red and appeared to be made of interlocking rock like the Thing. It had large red lobster claws with steel points.
"Ooh boy." Cover Girl gulped. She turned to the others. "Guys…RUN!!!" The creature leapt out into the lab, roaring.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!" The Joes and Misfits screamed, running for their lives.
"I don't blame Paul and Craig for running!" Recondo panted. "That thing's a monster!"
"Look!" Lady Jaye pointed. "A Stairwell! Come on!" The Joes and Misfits raced up the stairwell until they found themselves in a warehouse. "You know, I'm beginning to get extremely sick and tired of seeing warehouses."
"C'mon! We have a better chance of stopping that thing in the open." Althea ordered. The Joes and Misfits raced outside the warehouse, and they found the Starr Brothers waiting for them. "I thought you guys would be leaving with the other urchins."
"I'm not going to let that clown Mindbender mess with me or my brother." Craig snarled. "I'm not afraid of anything that twisted monster brings out!" The monster roared as he ripped through the warehouse wall. It was a half a foot taller than Blob.
"I don't know about you, Craig. But I'm a little frightened." Paul gulped.
Uh oh! Looks like Mindbender's monster is on the loose! What insanity will happen next? Will Cobra Commander get off that island? Can the Misfits and Joes beat the monster? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
