A Misfit Halloween!
To c-wolf: Hey there c-wolf! I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you like this new one!
To Metal Dragon1: Hey there, Metal Dragon1! I don't remember Chi-Chi doing that in Dragonball. Oh well, I thought it would be funny to see Angelica lay the smackdown on John with a frying pan. Oh yeah, you definitely don't want to know what Toothy was doing to Beach Head's leg. And you can bet an idea from the Baroness will fail miserably. I hope you like the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for the new chapter of 'Take the Long Way Home'!
To Sparky Genocide: Hey there Sparky Genocide! Yeah, Serpentor's still in charge of Cobra. I have the MP3 for the song 'Heaven's On Fire'. It's a good song. Firestar getting flattered? Do you want John and Angelica to get together or something? I don't think Firestar would like that very much. Nor would a certain fire-wielding keyboard over on the Southside Misfit team. Trinity and Spyder laying some torture on candy-stealing Dreadnoks, huh? I'll see what I can do! Enjoy the new chapter!
To mattb3671: Hey there matt! I loved the description of me on your bio. Sex cyborg from the future sent back in time. That's an American Pie reference, right? From 'The Sherminator', if I remember correctly. I read the new chapter of 'X-Men is Australian for Mutant' and I loved it, man! I hope you like the new chapter! Put me on your Author Alert List.
To Firefly25: Hey there firefly! Oh yes, this is going to be one fun party! Actually, according to Red Witch's fics, Raven's been trading sparks with a Joe pilot codenamed Slipstream. Her last appearance was a cameo in my fic 'Rockin' in the Southside', which introduced the Southside Misfits. I can imagine Joes making Teen Titan references behind her back, but they're afraid to say anything in front of her face. Does Toothy think Kitty is its mom? I dunno. You'll have to ask it. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait to beta-read Chapter 2 of 'Reindeer Flotilla'! Hurry up and finish it man!
To Red Witch: Hey there Red! Welcome back! I read the new chapter of 'This Soap Opera Called Life' and I loved it! Stryker will get what's coming to him! Here's more insanity for you! Enjoy! And thanks again for the info!
To RogueFanKC: Hey there, RogueFan! Yeah, as usual, Cobra tries to muck things up! I'm glad you liked the Toothy and Leatherneck/Wet Suit brawls. I'm glad you liked those guys. So much goes on in the Misfit-verse that it is easy to lose track! Anyway, enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 4: Halloween Insanity!
Cobra Headquarters
Serpentor III had gathered Cobra's senior staff in the main meeting room. (A/N: Okay, let's clear something up. The Serpentor that's leading Cobra now is Serpentor III. Serpentor I is dead, and Serpentor II is a drag performer in Los Angeles
"This had better be good." Major Bludd growled. "I was in the middle of writing more of my bloody awesome poetry!"
"Your poetry is garbage." Destro growled. "A Robert Frost you are certainly not."
"Robert Frost can kiss me arse!" Bludd snapped.
"Settle down, children!" Serpentor snapped. "WHAT?!"
"DIE TOAD!!! RAAAAGH!!!!" Virus ran into the room, wearing only a pair of cheetah-print boxer shorts. He had painted himself green, splattered red paint all over himself, and painted 'Die Toad Die' on his chest. He jumped on the table. He started throwing a tantrum, snarling and screaming like an animal.
"GET THIS STUPID LUNATIC OUT OF HERE AT ONCE!!!" Serpentor roared. Destro burst out laughing.
"Vince, get your crazy butt over here and take your pills!" Zanya ran in, clad in a Superstars shirt in place of her 'Dreadnok for Hire' shirt. Virus just hooted and raced out on all fours.
"TOAD TOAD TOAD!!!! I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN!!! SKIN THE TOAD!!!! ALTHEA'S MINE!!!!" Virus screeched as he raced out, Zanya pursuing him.
"Can't someone shoot him?" The Baroness groaned.
"Unfortunately, his intellect and mutant abilities cause him to have a very high value to our organization, despite his…quirks." Serpentor grumbled.
"He believes he receives telepathic messages from Althea crying for help!" Zartan exclaimed. "That's not genius, that's paranoid schizophrenia!"
"Let's not let the subject of that disturbed Brit distract us from the true reason we are here." Serpentor groaned. "Baroness, I believe you said that you had a plan to deal with those accursed Joes once and for all." The Baroness grinned as she rose. She put three objects on a table: An old golden coin, a wedding ring, and a locket.
The Pit
"Man, what a party." Lina smiled. She always felt welcome in the Pit. The Joes did not mind her insect-like appearance. In fact, Scarlet thought she looked cute as a Cowboys Cheerleader, despite the fact that Scarlet hated the Cowboys. She was from Georgia, after all.
"PIETRO, GET BACK HERE!!!!!" Lila and Wanda roared as they chased after Pietro. They were both soaked with red stage blood.
"I'm sorry! I was in a Carrie mood!" Pietro exclaimed as he ran for his life.
"Did you ever see the end of that movie?! Because Wanda and I plan to re-enact it on your face!" Lila snarled. Lina groaned.
"Can't Pietro stay out of trouble for five seconds?" Lina groaned.
"Hey Lina." Jake said to Lina.
"Hi, Jake." Lina smiled. Jake was one of Lina's best friends on the Misfit team. It was irony in its strongest form. Jake Wildfire's younger brother Kyle thought Lina's preference to stay out of battle was a sign of cowardice, and as a result, often said the only function she could serve as a Misfit was a target, yet Jake thought of Lina as a friend, and saw her value as a medic.
"Hey listen, Fred, me, and a couple of the other guys are going downtown to play some pool. Want to come?"
"Jake, I don't…like leaving the Pit." Lina shook her head. "I'm a little paranoid when it comes to going out with an image inducer."
"Your loss. Lance plans to start a big bar brawl." Jake chuckled as he walked off. The red-haired Bostonian stopped and shook his head. He put his arm out, and Pietro ran into it. Lina shook her head with a smile.
"Fred, you promised you wouldn't start any trouble!" Lina said as went to find him. Meanwhile, Lila and Wanda caught up with Pietro and the two mutant girls stomped on him.
"Thanks, Jake." Lia said sweetly as she introduced Pietro's face to her boot.
"No prob." Jake shrugged.
Well, well, well! Looks like the insanity will continue! What madness will happen next? What's with those objects of the Baroness's possession? How will Pietro get hurt next? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
