A Misfit Halloween!

To Raliena: Hey there Rae! Will Scooby-Doo and the Gang make an appearance? Well, I'm sorry Rae, but I didn't plan on having Scooby and the gang appear in this story. This story is based on an old GI Joe episode called 'The Phantom Brigade'. Yeah, the explanations are next in a way. Although it's going to be tough explaining centuries of various events in only a few minutes. That's next to impossible. Anyway, enjoy the new chapter!

To RogueFanKC: Hey there Rogue Fan! Yeah, it's always fun to watch Wanda smack Pietro around. It's also always fun to watch her berate him. Yeah, I don't think Pietro will ever really learn his lesson. His head is so full of himself, there isn't really a lot of room left for anything else (Pietro: HEY!!). Enjoy the new chapter, Rogue Fan!

To Red Witch: Hey there Red Witch! I read your new one-shots "Brotherhood TV" and "Cabin Fever" and I loved them! Can I do a one-shot based on "Brotherhood TV" only with the Superstars? It'd be so funny! Actually, Serpentor III leads Cobra now. Cobra Commander is still secretly recovering from the genetic damage he suffered in Cobra-La. But yes, whomever leads Cobra is going to have some serious issues with a certain trio of ghosts. I'm glad you liked the last chapter. Wow. You certainly have an eclectic taste in music. I have a copy of Meat Loaf's "Bat out of Hell". One awesome album! I've heard of Bond. Not into classical. What kind of heavy metal oldies do you have? Black Sabbath? Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 11: Laid to Rest!

A Cobra base hidden in a spooky castle

"AAAAAARGH!!!!!!!" The Baroness roared in frustration and rage. She paced up and down a room in the castle in an incredibly angry manner. "Where are those stupid ghosts?! They should be here at my command!" She turned her head, scowling at an ugly old woman in rags sitting in the corner. "You said those ghosts would be under my command!"

"I said you could bring them back from the beyond by unearthing their prized possessions. I did not say that they would become mindless slaves. If you wanted that, you should have ordered yourself some zombies." The old woman replied. The Baroness snarled.

"Zombies are stupid, disgusting, and they're too flimsy." The Baroness growled. "I needed those ghosts to destroy the Joes. They were the perfect weapons. No weapon the Joes had nor any power of their freak pets, the Misfits, had could even make those ghosts flinch. And the ghosts could rain untold destruction on them all!"

"Once you disturb a ghost's possessions, their main goal is getting the possession back. This can be used to bend a ghost to your will, but if they can be convinced that there's another way to get their possessions back, they will turn." The old woman smirked. "I warned you. Those Joes you hate so much may have been able to turn those ghosts against you." The Baroness's snarl deepened.

"I warned you, you old hag. If you ever speak to me like that ever again, I will…" The Cobra Intelligence officer's snarling threat was interrupted by shaking. "What was that?!" A Cobra Viper ran into the room.

"It's the Joes and their freaks, the Misfits!" The Viper exclaimed. "They're coming fast!"

"After the pounding we laid on them?! I doubt they are able to mount such a YEOW!!!!" The Baroness quickly ducked as a jet of flame blasted through the castle room's window. "Which one of those freaks threw that?!" The Baroness snarled. She noticed out the window a certain red dot in the sky, and it was getting bigger. And it was roaring. The dot was revealed to be the Red Dragon. "Oh crud."

KABOOM!!!!!!!

Jake "Red Dragon" Wildfire crashed through the castle at incredible speed like a human rocket, and he plowed right through.

"Duke, was that really part of the plan?" Flint asked Duke. They were watching through binoculars.

"Nah. I just always wanted to see Red Dragon do that." Duke chuckled. "Okay boys and girls, let's show Cobra how we fight! YO JOE!!!"

The CobraCommandCenter

"BARONESS!!!! GET YOUR ARSE IN HERE RIGHT THIS MINUTE, YOU BLACK-CLAD OLD HAG!!!!" Serpentor III roared angrily. The Baroness ran into the room. He pointed to several monitors that showed Cobra troopers and Joes fighting. "How do you explain this?!"

"I…I…I…I…I…" The Baroness stammered.

"Where are those ghostly troops of yours?"

"I do not understand, Serpentor! They should be completely under my control!" The Baroness shouted. The room rocked. "The Joes are fighting their way inside!" The wall exploded, and the Centurion walked in, angry.

"I would like my salary, please. Return it to me, and I promise, by the honor of Rome, to leave you unharmed."

"I thought you said that they were under your control." Serpentor snarled at the Baroness.

"We asked them to help us." Althea emerged from the shadows. "We promised that we'd help them rest in peace. And here we are to keep it. Hand over the items, Baroness."

A clearing, sometime later

"Okay…" Lady Jaye said. She was holding the wedding band, the locket, and the old Roman coin. Several Joes and Misfits were with her. "How do we do this?" She turned to Wanda. Wanda flipped through her book.

"Just bury them in the ground respectfully, Lady Jaye." Wanda said. Lady Jaye nodded and kneeled down. She dug a small hole, and gently put the items into the ground, and buried them.

"Look at that." Xi pointed in the air. The Pilot flew by in the air. Sitting in the cockpit with him was a beautiful blonde woman. They looked at the Joes and Misfits, smiled, and waved in thanks. On the ground, the Mongol woman was seen riding into the horizon on a white horse, a man, her husband, riding with her. Nearby, the smiling Centurion waved and walked away before disappearing, happily flipping his coin up and down.

"Well, they got to rest in peace at last." Wanda smiled.
