A Misfit Halloween!

To Aaron: Hey there Aaron! Who is that voice, huh? Is it the voice of the Baroness or Zarana, or someone else? You'll have to read the chapter to find out. You'll also have to read the chapter to find out what happens next. The Cobra organization's members are a very strange bunch of people. They got a leader who listens to teen pop music, a Scottish weapons maker who wears a mask, a mad geneticist with masculinity issues, and did I mention that they regularly hire a bunch of legally brain-dead bikers, and they have various mutants, cyborgs, and general all-around freaks in the crew? So weirdness kind of becomes a part of Cobra. I hope that explains it. Enjoy the new chapter!

To Raliena: Hey there Rae! Well, you kind of have to expect Cobra to come up with some strange ideas. They are a weird bunch. Cobra Commander likes teen pop, Baroness is nuts, Destro should know better, Mindbender has issues, the Dreadnoks are idiots, Virus is a psychotic moron, the Crimson Guard Twins need to see a doctor about their weird twin link, and the rest of the bunch are all insane in their own way. You'd have to expect that around here. Yes, good ol' Wanda figured it out (Wanda: Of course.). Yes, the fight continues! Enjoy the new chapter!

To Red Witch: Hey there Red Witch! I read your new one-shot "No Class", and I loved it, despite the fact I never heard of Tom Lerher. You have some very strange taste in music. But then again, while everyone else my age listens to hip-hop, I prefer the likes of Bob Seger, Van Halen, and Def Leppard. As you can tell from the disclaimer, I'm a big Austin Powers fan. Why not do an Austin Powers crossover like I did? It'd be awesome! Is the Baroness going to end up helping the Joes like in the original episode? Well, we'll have to find out, won't we? Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 9: Taming of the Spirit!

A road outside Joe's Pool Hall

"Why can't we fight this Sheila?!" John exclaimed in frustration as he jumped behind a big rock, barely managing to avoid a white fiery arrow. He noticed that Lance, Jake, and Fred were hiding with him. "Hey mates."

"I finally got through to Althea." Lance said. "She's sending someone to pick us up."

"Why didn't we just take the jeep?" Jake asked, remembering how they ended up there in the first place. Lance looked like he was about to cry.

"Look what that psycho Mongul did to my baby." Lance whimpered, pointing behind the rock. Jake peeked up and his eyes widened. Lance's jeep was a wreck, and there were patches of white flame burning on it. "I really need a vacation. Maybe I'll take one after this whole thing." A FWOOSH was heard as a familiar figure raced up to them.

"Hello boys. Need a lift?" Pietro Maximoff grinned.

"I need an aspirin and a vacation." Lance moaned.

"Get us out of here!" John snapped.

"Right-o!" Pietro saluted, then zipped off. He came back a quarter-second later, dragging a wheeled cart behind him. "Don't ask. Trinity made it. Just get on." Pietro sighed sadly. "This thing is so undignified…"

"Just get us home before psycho Mongol ghost lady gets bored thrashing Lance's jeep and decides to trash us!" Jake snapped.

"Mongol ghost lady?" Pietro blinked in confusion.

"Just shut up and #$#$#$ GO, MAXIMOFF!!!!!" Lance roared. "I really need a vacation…"

"What's with him?" Pietro groaned as he zipped off.

The Pit

"That's right, children." The Baroness laughed. "A certain group of snakes are behind this." She was speaking through a megaphone, and she was riding in a helicopter. "I guess you Joes are having some difficulty with our new toys."

"The Baroness!" Lady Jaye exclaimed.

"What is going on here, Baroness?!" Duke growled. The Baroness laughed.

"My dear Duke, obviously you have fallen under Cobra's greatest new weapon." Cobra' intelligence officer smirked. "Ghost soldiers."

"Ghost soldiers?!" The Joes and Misfits looked at each other in confusion.

"It makes perfect sense." Wanda realized. "Don't you guys see? They're perfect! Ghosts can cause great damage, yet at the same time, mortal weapons only pass through them!"

"The little witch down there has a point." Baroness laughed.

"Hey Duke." Clutch whispered to the Joes' first sergeant, handing him his binoculars. "Look. Around the Baroness's neck and her finger." The blond Joe looked in the binoculars, and he noticed that the Baroness had around her neck a small gold necklace with a small gold heart-shaped locket. Around her finger was an old golden ring. Duke blinked. "I don't think the Baroness is the sentimental type, sir."

"She can't even spell sentiment, Clutch. Nor is she married, as far as we know. "Where did that stuff come from?"

"What the?" Baroness noticed that the ghostly bi-plane piloted by the American WWI aviator flew towards her, and its guns were a-blazing. "AAAGH!!!"

"GIVE ME BACK THAT LOCKET!!!!" The Pilot roared angrily. He looked rather young, around as old as Lance. The Baroness screamed. She hit a button on the control panel of her helicopter, and the vehicle disappeared, thanks to an on-board teleporter provided by Virus. The Centurion also disappeared. The Pilot screamed in rage and started firing everywhere.

"He's going to kill someone!" Cover Girl exclaimed as she ducked under an awning.

"Dragonfly!" Roadblock exclaimed. The insect-like mutant flew into the air, above the plane. She flew up to the pilot, trying to keep up with the ghostly aviator. Lina's jaw dropped when she saw his face.

He's no older than Lance! Dragonfly mentally exclaimed. "Hey pal! Cut it out! You're going to kill someone!"

"She has my locket!" The Pilot screamed. "I must have my locket back!"

"Is it important to you?" Lina asked gently. "Maybe we can help you get it back." The Pilot's rage calmed when he looked at Lina. The anger got replaced by confusion.

"What happened to you, kid? Get exposed to space meteor rays or something like that? Are you an alien?" The Pilot blinked.

"No, I'm human. Well…I was." Lina replied. "I'm a mutant now."

"Mutant? Is that a man from space?" The Pilot blinked. Lina sighed.

How am I going to explain this? As far as he knows, the only reason I look like this is because he thinks I'm some person from the stars.

"I think she's calmed him down!" Angelica whooped.

Well, well, well! Looks like the insanity will continue! What madness will happen next? How much catch-up will Lance, Jake, John, and Fred have to do? Will the Pilot join our heroes? Can they stop Cobra? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
