(Let's take a vow of silence for our missing in action Misfits… The vow is over and so are my non-comedy stories, in short I guess you could say I got writers block. I could write but it wasn't as funny as it should have been.)
Todd slipped on a banana peel as he shot the ball down the gutter of the bowling alley. Paul and Ollie laughed in their chairs as Todd's extremely low score reached the board.
"Come on it's not that funny." Todd complained. "Not My fault I'm playing beside a Monkey."
Mr. McCoy was beside Todd eating a Banana. "I resent that."
"Fine then." Todd walked over and took his seat beside Ollie as Paul went up and got in the position to through the "Ball."
"Yous suck." Came a not so familiar voice behind them.
The two Misfits looked behind themselves and saw nothing. When they looked at the bowing pins they saw a blue-headed teen in their way. "Hey what's up Todd."
"Damn it." Todd yelled as he jumped to the front door of the bowling alley.
Formed by the New York Famous Spider-man, The Misfits literally fling into action as they slip slide and blow up in their opponents faces. Riddler Kid is proud to present…
Misfits #7
The Good Samaritans
By: The Riddler Kid
It was a beautiful day in south New York, Everyone was happy except for the man who lost his hat in the wind, that guy a possible may others because that's the way it is in big cities like New York. But today because were short on time and energy, we will focus on Todd.
Todd sat in the passenger seat of Ollie's new red car. Paul and Kurt were in the back seat talking and laughing at each other as jokes and other crappy things not seen on a TV show. That Leaves Ollie driving his car, because none of the other Misfits can.
"So you're really blue?" Paul asked.
"A darker blue than the sky but yes." Kurt replied.
Todd sat silently in his seat thinking of the many ways to get rid of this nuisance in the back seat.
"Were here." The jerk of the car sent the passengers far away from their seats
"Hold it wait up." Paul stuck out his hands as his friends including Kurt looked at him. "How the heck did you get a car so fast? Todd you don't hold a grudge on Kurt anymore and you seem jealous. And Kurt If your from a different country why the heck do you not speak in that weird accent of yours?"
"I've got the car because THE RIDDLER KID hasn't gotten far enough in the TOAD CHRONICLES to show that Todd has got a car." Ollie said as fast and understandably as he could ever possibly do with out splitting a gut or getting a headache and what not.
"I have a car?" Todd exclaimed. "I mean, I'm not jealous, I'm acting so that the story will have a major plot." Todd replied.
"What the Heck are you talking about?" Kurt could only say.
"Ahhh never mind you mutants are too dumb to see what's in front of your face." Paul said as the small group of four headed for their favourite fast food restaurant.
Suddenly in front of them was a human like mouse with a punkish out fit and a sword strapped on his back. He asked the group a question as they passed by. "My name is Mathias of Redwall, were there be battle."
The group ignored the weird mouse and continued to walk into the store. Paul stopped and pulled out a map in front of the mouse. "You see that guy up there in the yellow and red armour" Paul pointed up.
Mathias nodded his head as he looked up into the sky at Iron Man flying in the sky now fighting a "Horde" of "Villainous VERMIN."
"Well." Paul pointed on the map take a left here and right at this inter section, pull out your sword and slice a couple rats, foxes, stoats and crap. OK."
"I shall go then into battle!" Mathias Yelled as he ran to the fight seen.
Inside the restaurant named Kwikkee burgers, sits two mutants, a crazy spider fanatic and a kid who hasn't discovered his mutant "Luck" gene.
Bob looked angrily behind the counter. "Why the heck do you guys always show up here everyday, hey look a new guy, thinking of becoming a full time member?"
Behind Bob sat "Archie and the Gang."
Betty and Archie were splitting a milkshake that made Veronica jealous. Why the heck do I always use jealous. Jughead was eating the place out of house and home, Dilton and Moose sat around a book that was entitled "Physical Science" That believe not or not is a perfect book for all ages is it not. And Reggie was, hey where is Reggie? Ohh what the heck this is about The misfits not Archie.
"You see these people only come here once and awhile and don't cause property damage." Bob pointed at Archie and the gang.
"Don't be so sure about that." Todd scowled back. "One more burger for me please!"
Kurt was ready to talk but shook up for a second. Ollie looked at him weirdly. "You OK man you baffled."
"No I'm fine." Kurt replied. "Just excuse me for a moment." Kurt headed to the back of the diner to the rest room. The rest room was single so he stepped in and walked over to a wall and leaned against it. He looked into the mirror and saw the bubble headed Mysterio, Purple cape and green armour. "Did you do what I asked." Mysterio's deep voice commanded.
"I'm trying, just give me more time." Kurt replied.
Mysterio rushed over to Kurt and picked him up ion one hand. "You've got one more day and it's…" Mysterio made a cut mark over his neck and vanished.
Kurt fell to the ground ready to cry.
Paul and Todd were enjoying a talk with Reggie Mantle the greatest joker and coolest comic book character around, wouldn't you say? "Mister Mantle." Todd asked."
"That's me." Reggie replied while pointing his thumb into his chest.
"What is the greatest prank you have ever pulled on Archie?" Todd asked.
"Well there was this one time." Reggie started.
Kurt went to the Misfits and asked to talk to Todd privately. Todd agreed and excused himself. "Excuse Mister Mantle." Todd placed down a portable recorder and pressed the record button. "Don't want to miss any of great achievements." Todd said enthusiastically as he went with Kurt to the phone booth in the restaurant.
"What is it, is there something wrong?" Todd asked.
"Well, the truth is I need a place to stay."
"A place to stay don't you X-geeks have a mansion?"
"Ya, but things are getting hectic around there, I need to get out and enjoy life."
"You mean Kitty's breaking up with you."
"Ya, to phrase it one way."
"Well I'll tell you what you can stay at my place as long as you want, till you get over what ever problem. Stick with us the rest of the day and everything will be fine."
"Thanks Todd."
Todd started to walk away towards Mantle the Great while Kurt looked at Todd and sighed.
Now that the day was almost over the group of "Five" went into their car. "I'm telling ya Reggie is Misfit material." Todd complained as Him Kurt and Paul got into the back seat. Reggie struck his proud pose as he sat in the passenger seat beside Ollie.
"Todd he's no superhero, He's got no power, weaponry or even skill. He'll get thrashed."
Reggie was taken back from this. "No not Mantle the great he can out talk any of our villains with ease he's a one man army!" Todd and Paul said at the same time.
Reggie was in his proud pose again. Paul Shrugged.
Now then it was nighttime and Todd and Kurt walked to Todd's house. Kurt looked at the neighbourhood. "Guess you don't have any neighbours, do ya?"
Todd looked at the empty neighbourhood. "This place has been abandoned for twelve years."
Todd and Kurt stopped at one of the smallest houses on the block. They walked in side and Todd headed for the stairs. "Good evening Bob." He said as he headed up.
Kurt stood at the landing; he then jolted when he heard a computerized voice talked back. "Good evening to you to sir. Guests, a mutant to, please to meet you, you may call me Bob, sir…"
"Kurt. My names Kurt."
"Well good evening Sir Kurt."
Todd looked down from the top of the stairs. "Well, you coming up or what."
Kurt smiled and teleported up to where Todd was. As Todd was walking to a door Kurt turned off his holo watch and followed Todd while doing this.
Todd opened the door in front of him. He pointed inside, "This is my room." Todd exclaimed.
Kurt looked inside and saw the nicely made bed everything was spick and span bed made nicely shelves and drawers in neat condition and dusted. "Cleaner than your old room. Huh."
Todd walked into the room. "Bob's a neat person."
Todd noticed something on Kurt's tail as he entered the room. "What's that?" He asked and pointed at the collar around Kurt's tail.
"Oh, nothing just a collar." Kurt replied. "Its for design."
"Yes I'm sure it is." Todd said back. "Hey Bob! Is the spare room ready."
"Yes sir."
Todd looked at the clock it was almost eleven thirty at night. He decided he was tired and told Kurt to head to his room. Thus that is what Kurt did. Todd went to the washroom that was connected to his room and washed his face and wiped the water off with a towel. His green interior on his face was showing, he smiled and turned off the light and looked forward to sleep time.
It was morning and Kurt was up unable to sleep, although his accommodations were fine, he needed to go to the washroom and slipped on the floor and bumped his head on the bathtub that seemed to be unused in at least twenty years. Kurt ended up with a big bump on his head and it was sobbing all night.
He was in the kitchen sampling some Cereal that Bob insisted that he try. Todd walk into the kitchen yawned and. "Good morning blue boy." Todd said tiredly to his new short time companion.
"Good morning." Kurt said puzzled to the greenness on Todd's face.
"Never mind the green it's for design." Todd emphasized his talk on design referring back to Kurt's polka dotted underwear, not that I look closely for that kind of thing.
Todd sat in directly across from Kurt on the table. They looked at each other for a while then Todd bit into his cereal. Corn flacks with lots of sugar to hype up the Toad boys veins.
"Do you want to skip this scene and move onto the actual story?" Todd asked.
"Yah, as much as I really like it here we are running out of time and need to get to the main story."
Todd and Kurt look at the camera and shoke their heads.
The Next Scene…
Todd and Kurt met up with the rest of the gang at Kwikkee Burger at twelve.
"Where's Reggie, did I miss him?" Todd asked frantically.
"No." Paul ready to pout. "He had a autograph session in Main New York."
Ollie complained.
Todd rushed to Ollie and covered his mouth. "Don't say such evil things Sir Reggie is the greatest man who ever lived."
Inside the store a man who's trying to cover himself with a newspaper looks suspicousaly at the group walking in. Kurt gulps as he feels everything go in slow motion. The group finally sits down after waling very slow towards Bob.
"What was with the walking slow part?" Bob asked.
"For coolness." Paul said. He quickly grabbed something black from his pocket and placed it on his head.
"Nice afro dude." Ollie said as he sat down
"Todd, can I talk to you please." Kurt asked Todd in a pleading manner.
Todd got of his seat in a manner of un wanting to. Him and Todd headed out side.
"Todd, I liked you I always have but something has come up."
"What is it man, is it something I said or did?"
Kurt put his hand on Todd's shoulder, they teleported away and found themselves in a theme park. "Because of Me." A big deep voice that came from behind the boys.
Todd looked behind him and saw Mysterio. "What the heck do you want here?" Todd scowled.
"Well actually it's not really what I want." Mysterio stepped back. "It's really more of revenge." Kurt disappeared and reappeared in front of Mysterio looking sad. "I see that you know my little friend." Mysterio pointing out Night crawler.
"Noooo." Todd yelled as he jumped at Mysterio he hit a carnival mirror. He took a look around not seeing Mysterio but realized he was in a house of Mirrors.
Mysterio appeared in all of the mirrors around him. "This was all planed all I needed was to learn more about you and your kind, I needed to know you and your crew better to phrase it that way." Todd started pacing around the room looking for the real Mysterio. "I realized I needed someone close to you thus Ii hired a friend to help me."
"No you didn't!" Todd yelled as he kicked another mirror.
"It's not what it seems To-" Kurt's voice said but got stifled.
Kurt was sitting on the floor as Mysterio was handling some buttons on a computer keyboard. "I want out!" Kurt screamed. He tried his hardest to take the collar off his tail but was unable to. "Let me go."
"Remember you work for me now." Mysterio reminded. "There is no point in even trying to get free, your power is my power." Mysterio pressed his left eye amulet.
Kurt was on the floor being electrocuted all over and screaming in pain.
Mysterio looked at the Pitiful knocked out Nightcrawler. He then walked through a wall.
Toad paced around the room looking at all the Mysterios in the mirrors. On Todd's last turn he saw him.
"No matter the way, you will fall." He stated.
Todd went into a jump kick to end all others, but upon flying towards Mysterio he was grabbed by the foot and chucked into one of the mirrors. "Since when did you think you could beat me?" The original Mysterio disappeared and a new one went into vision.
"Time to die my amphibian friend." Todd looked up and was kicked by Mysterio. The last thought on his head as he hit the ground was of him always being beaten by Magneto.
Todd stood up slowly and got ready to shoot his tongue. The air was knocked out of him as the Mysterio in front of him disappeared. A new one appeared. "It's over."
A trident appeared in Mysterio's hand. He raised it as high as he could and dropped it. Todd started to think through his life every moment he could remember, Bob, Lance, Peitro, His big Bro Freddy and Wanda, but his last thought was of his new friends, Ollie and Paul, the ones who were truly his friends.
Todd could here a groan but it wasn't from him rather Mysterio. He lifted his Trident and turned to look at a very angry Nightcrawler. Mysterio was ready to laugh but felt the cut down his right side. He looked at his armour and saw blood spilling out. "Apparently this may not be the end." He noticed that along with the cut was a missing amulet. Kurt's collar fell off.
Mysterio fell to the ground on both knees and smoke surrounded him as he disappeared into nothing.
Nightcrawler dropped his sharpened pipe and help Todd up. "I think were down here." Nightcrawler giggled.
Todd smiled for happiness.
"Now that all the mushy stuff is over between two good friends, it's time to get into real action." Frog-man jumped as high as he could as Toad and Spider-kid followed as fast as they could.
"Todd are you gonna forgive Kurt for the trouble he's caused." Spider-kid asked.
Todd sighed. "You know he saved my life, but I don't think I can ever forgive him."
Ahh that was a cute story wasn't it.
