Rising Starrs!

To Sparky Genocide: Hey there Sparky! I was very glad to use your idea. That Cobra Commander is so pathetic even when he's not losing it. He's so funny that way, man. Toad beating on Mindbender, and shining his bald head and checking his face for zits. I like that idea, Sparky. I really do, man! That's an awesome idea. I just may use it sometime.

To Red Witch: Hey there, Red Witch! I read the new chapter of "This Soap Opera Called Life" and I loved it! Man, those guys don't take long to start a brawl, do they? Not to mention they'll fight anyone anywhere. Forge should build a portable wrestling ring or something. It'd find a lot of use. I wonder what you enemy you got cooking up? Let's see if I got your suggestion straight: Cobra Commander starting to lose his mind even more then Destro sees from a rescue ship, and Destro tells the ship to leave without the Commander. I like this idea! Can't wait for more from you, Red! Enjoy the new chapter!

To Raliena: Hey there, Rae! "You've been Framed"? Is that an English show? Is it like "Candid Camera"? Yeah, the sharks' videotape will probably end up there. Knowing Craig, he probably doesn't even really care what the creature can do or what the creature looks like. It could be Godzilla with the ability to spit atomic fire breath, but Craig would not care. It probably could warp reality like Proteus, but Craig would still not care. He still would try to take it down. He's a fearless little mutant, Rae. I also updated "The Starr Chronicles", "Pietro's Tea Party", and "A Misfit Halloween" if you want to take a look. Enjoy the new chapter, Rae!

To soulstress: Hey there soulstress! Yeah, I think the Starrs will be a big help in taking down that lobster monster thing. I'm glad you like the scene with Mindbender getting himself trampled. It's fun getting bad guys trampled. I hope you like the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for the next chapter of 'Tempest'. Have Betsy get on a sugar rush and latch onto Angel's leg (Angel: AAAAAAAAGH!!!! GET HER OFF ME!!!!). That'd be so funny!

Chapter 13: Final Battle and Recruitment!

A desert island

"Oh yeah! This is so groovy, huh Wilson!" Cobra Commander whooped as he danced. Wilson the volleyball was sitting on a stump. However, in the delusional mind of the evil terrorist leader, Cobra Commander was dancing with several bikini-clad girls. "Easy, ladies! There's plenty of Cobra Commander to go around. Ooh! Cheeky, aren't you?" Cobra Commander was also pretty oblivious to the fact that there were several sharks nearby, all named Bruce. They were filming him.

Oh man, this is great! Bruce the shark laughed. This is so funny! We're gonna get rich with this!

One tape sent to Candid Camera, and we'll be the richest sharks on earth! Another shark named Bruce laughed. Oh yeah, I can finally get my teeth lined with gold, like I always wanted.

Guys! Boat! Another shark named Bruce warned. The sharks quickly swam off as Destro pulled up to the shore on a speedboat.

"Commander! I have come to…rescue…you…" Destro blinked as he saw the Commander dance with himself. "Aw screw it." He produced a camera from the speedboat's glove compartment. He snapped a few pictures of the Commander, then sped off. I'm going to be able to blackmail the Commander for years with this!

The warehouses, Los Angeles

The Misfits and the Joes codenamed Recondo, Lady Jaye, and Cover Girl stood in front of the lobster-like genetic monster of Dr. Mindbender's creation.

"Guys…" Althea turned to the three Joes. "We'll handle the monster. You help those people."

"Al, we can't just leave you to face that thing alone!" Cover Girl exclaimed.

"You have no special powers! We do! Let us face this thing!" Craig snapped. "I've seen punks more intimidating than this."

"I highly doubt it, Craig Starr." Lance said. "Ever faced off against mutant creatures like this?"

"You think Paul and I are the only mutants in LA?" Craig growled.

"Look out!" Trinity screamed. The monster spewed radioactive green flame from its mouth at the heroic mutants and soldiers.

"Go, guys!" Todd yelled at the Joes. "We got this! Go help those people!" The Joes looked at each other and sighed. The Misfits knew what they were doing.

"Hey Godzilla!" Craig roared, firing his eye laser at the monster. He hit it right between the eyes, causing it to fall over. "Take that, you…" The monster roared. "…freak…"

"That thing's indestructible!" Paul exclaimed.

"Not as indestructible as me!" Blob crowed. He ran up to the creature and started punching and pounding it. The creature responded by trying to use its steel-tipped claws to slash Fred wide open. A lot of good that did.

"Fred! Fall back!" Althea ordered. Fred did so. "Trinity! Paul! Craig! Wanda! Open up on the sucker!" Trinity fired their psychic lightning, Wanda pitched a couple hex-bolts, and the Starr Brothers fired their eye lasers. The eye lasers and hex-bolts only were distractions, pushing the creature backward. The psychic lighting was doing most of the damage to the creature. Lance created a tremor, shaking the creature up. The creature roared as it fell to its knees, then on its face. The Misfits blinked.

Los Angeles, sometime later

The Misfits and the Joes were sitting on the beach with the Starr Brothers.

"Wow, you guys were a real help." Althea said to the Starr Brothers with a smile.

"Thanks." Paul smiled.

"Can I ask you guys something?" Althea wondered. The Starrs nodded. "Well, you two were a big help to us back there. You guys could really use your powers to help people."

"What're you saying?" Craig asked.

"I'd like to ask you if you wouldn't mind joining the Misfits." Althea grinned.

"No way." Craig said. "I've had enough of gangs to last me a lifetime."

"Well, I think that it would be a good idea." Paul said. "Think about it, bro. We've lived on our own for so long. Remember when every night, I would say that one day we'd find a home. This is our chance, Craig. We'll finally get a real home. And those Joes are real nice. I like them. Especially Cover Girl." Craig was silent.

I guess you weren't talking with hot air, then. Craig mused to his brother telepathically.

Nope. Good thing I'm optimistic, huh?

If I were you, I wouldn't push my luck, no matter how good it is. Craig mentally grumbled. Paul laughed.

"Are you sure you can make room for us?" Paul asked. Althea smiled.

"Oh yeah." Althea laughed. "I think there's plenty of room. Welcome to the Misfits, guys."

Well, well, well! Looks like the Misfits have got two new members! How will Paul and Craig fit in as Misfits? What insane adventures will happen next? Find out soon! This is L1701E, saying thanks for reading!
