A Misfit Halloween!

To Raliena: Hey there, Rae! Yes, the madness does indeed continue. And I'm surprised that Lina gets plenty of practice, considering that she does have to treat a lot of injuries. A lot of fights break out around the Pit, and that's just when Cobra is not attacking the Joes! Enjoy the new chapter, Rae!

To Sparky Genocide: Hey there Sparky! Oh, I'm sorry! I got mixed up by the fact that the site tends to screw up whenever more than two of the same letter is written together in a review. Sorry about that. A meeting between Serpentors II and III would be very interesting, alright. Not to mention hilarious. Cobra accidentally summoning the Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers and being driven crazy? Hmmm…Don't get me wrong, I love the idea, but I don't think the rules will allow it, considering they were real people. Anyway, enjoy the new chapter!

To RogueFanKC: Hey there, Rogue Fan! Yeah, those were episodes. This is my Misfit twist on the episode entitled 'The Phantom Brigade'. In it, Cobra summons three ghost warriors to take down the Joes, but one ghost just wants his locket back because it has a picture of him and his girlfriend Jenny in it. I hope you like the story, and the get the GI Joe cartoon series DVDs. It has the original on it. Enjoy the new chapter!

To Red Witch: Hey there Red Witch! I read the new chapter of "This Soap Opera Called Life" and I loved it! Why was I not surprised another fight would break out during Thunderbird's memorial service? Oh brother! I'm glad you liked the part where Lance impersonated Clinton. I'll see if I can cause Serpentor III to go bonkers. Serpentor II paying a visit? Maybe some other time. Who can blame Serpentor II for wanting to go into show business. If I had a choice between leading Cobra and going into show business, I'd pick show business every time. I see that Thunderbird's death is starting to affect the X-Men and Misfits already: It's given them more people to fight! And what of little James Proudstar? What'll you do with him? Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 6: A Little Bar Insanity!

Joe's Pool Hall

"Rack 'em up, Jake!" Lance ordered. Jake racked up the balls. Avalanche, Red Dragon, Blob, and Pyro were playing a game of pool. The four mutant superheroes were gathered around the table, all holding pool cues. A classic rock song played in the background. Lance made the first shot, scattering the small colored spheres. "Let the game begin, boys."

"Me next!" John grinned. He made a shot.

"Looks like you missed, Mr. Allerdyce." Jake smirked as he saw the ball John hit pass by a pocket. John smirked.

"No, I didn't mate." John flicked open his lighter and used his powers. The small flame leapt toward the corner pocket and formed a couple guide rails, making the ball fall in the pocket. "Yeah!" Lance and Fred's jaws dropped.

"John, you cheater!" Lance exclaimed. "We agreed, man! No powers!"

"Sorry if me pool skills make you jealous mate." John crossed his arms whimsically.

"I'll jealous you, you…" Lance raised his fist, and Fred grabbed his wrist.

"Easy Lance. You know what'll happen if your temper gets flared up." Fred reminded. Lance sighed.

"Yeah, yeah."

"John, stop being a goofball and let's just play us some pool." Jake said. A voice spoke up.

"Hey! Mutant Boys!" The four teenage mutants turned and saw three rednecks in flannel shirts and blue jeans. The biggest one was the lead one. "We don't take kindly to you types around here."

"Now Skeeter, they aren't causing any trouble man." The bartender exclaimed. "And I don't want you to cause any either!"

"NO!" Skeeter exclaimed. "I want to ask Mr. "I-have-special-powers-here"." He said, jabbing Jake's chest with his finger. "How come you types always wear them funny padded shirts in the winter?" The four mutants looked at each other, then Red Dragon looked up at Skeeter.

"Coats? Do you mean coats?" Jake blinked. Skeeter blinked.

"Yeah, coats. Why do you types always wear them in the winter?" Skeeter said. Jake blinked.

"It's cold in the winter. People like to be warm in the winter. Coats keep you warm." Jake explained to Skeeter slowly like he was talking to a little kid. Skeeter and his two friends blinked.

"Oh alright. Thanks." Skeeter and his boys walked away back to their table.

"Rednecks. Gotta love 'em." Fred laughed. The four boys went back to their pool game. They played some pool and had soda for about an hour. Soon, they went back to the jeep and were on the road, ready to return to the party going on at the Pit.

"Man, that was fun!" Lance grinned. "You all fell under Minnesota Lance, the greatest pool player of all time."

"Yeah right, Paul Newman!" John joked. "Let me tell you something: I nearly had you that last game."

"Until Jake took away your lighter so you couldn't use your powers to cheat." Fred smirked. The four boys continued playfully arguing and laughing. "Hey…what's that?" Fred pointed ahead on the road. The boys saw what appeared to be a woman in furs riding a horse.

"It appears to be a woman, Fred." Jake squinted.

"I'll drive up and see what's going on." Lance said. He pushed down on the gas and tried to catch up. The woman turned around and appeared to smirk at the four Misfits. She produced a bow, and pulled back what appeared to be an arrow made of blue fire. "WHAT?!" She fired the arrow. "HEY!!!!" Lance swerved the jeep, barely dodging the arrow. "What in the name of everything holy is going on here?!"

"Something's not right!" Jake exclaimed. "That woman and the horse were translucent!"

"Could they be mutants?" Fred wondered.

"I doubt it, my big friend." John said. "Let's try to stop that woman!" The four boys ended being fired at by the woman. They barely managed to avoid the barrage of blue fire arrows.

"I can't raise the Pit!" Lance exclaimed as he fiddled with his watch. "Something's wrong here. Very wrong."

Uh oh! Looks like four of our favorite boys are in big trouble! What insanity will happen next? What's going on at the Pit? Can the boys find a way to get past the mysterious woman in furs? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
