Christmas in France
To Raliena: Hey there Rae! Your mother once said that in University, and then the cops told her that her dad's motorbike was in the canal? That's very strange. How did your dad's motorbike end up in a canal? University…tell me, are you English? I'm half-English myself, on my mother's side. Enjoy the new chapter!
To Aaron: Hey there, Aaron! I'm glad you liked the way that Ali took care of the whole Kyle/Marie-Claire problem. I thought it would be funny for the others to be a little frightened of Ali, considering her general niceness and the fact she's very powerful. Ace, X23, Tarot, and Longshot are going to go try to rescue Terrell, John, and Tommy with help from Jester and Dial-Up. I think my New Year's is going to be good. My dad's coming home from the hospital (He'll be alright), and I'm much better. Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 10: Attack of the B.A.T.s, Part 2!
Outside a warehouse in Paris
Ace Starr and Athena, the West Coast Misfit members respectively codenamed Wildstar and X23, carefully crept up to the door of the warehouse. They quickly moved to a side of the door and nodded at the crates. Jester threw a grenade at the door and it blew wide open with a KABLAM!!!!
"WHAT?!" Overkill screamed.
"YO JOE!!!" Ace called out as he and X23 raced in. The Wolverine clone's claws on her hands and feet were unsheathed.
"Attack, my soldiers! Destroy them! They are merely two organics!" Overkill ordered loudly.
"Two organics who can take on lickin' and still keep on tickin'!" Ace whooped as he and X23 tore into the B.A.Ts. Ace Starr slashed through B.A.Ts with energy-charged claws on his left hand while he used his right hand to blast the robotic soldiers with his claw lasers.
"This is just like gardening. Only the weeds are uglier." Quipped X23 as she happily slashed the soldiers to pieces. Overkill watched this with a snarl.
"Looks like the general will have to step in for his men." The deranged cyborg snarled. His cybernetic senses picked up something. "What?" He ducked, causing a dagger that was flying towards him to embed itself in the wall behind him. "More organic intruders?" Longshot, Tarot, and Wolfsbane, in her werewolf form, came down from the roof, and landed on Overkill's platform. "More of you freaks?! HEY!!" Overkill dodged a barrage of tracer bullets from Jester and Dial-Up.
"Whatever you have planned cyborg, it is over!" Dial-Up scowled.
"I quite agree." Tarot held up a card. "Laser Barrage Card!" The card glowed and a group of red laser bursts flew from the card, and knocked into Overkill. The cyborg lurched, caught surprised by the French girl's unusual attack. Rahne and Longshot quickly nodded at each other, then hit the cyborg with a double flying kick. Overkill fell off his platform. Underneath his red scarf, the cyborg smirked. Longshot and Wolfsbane prepared to jump off the platform and make him taste the sharp ends of their daggers and claws.
"I would think not, humans." Overkill smirked. They heard screams. The five mutants turned and saw Jester and Dial-Up scream. The two Joes were being electrocuted. They fell to the ground unconscious. When they hit the ground, the source of their electrocution was revealed. It was a Battle Android Trooper with sparking hands. "Ha!" Overkill leapt to his feet his arm and hand forming a cannon of some sort. He blasted Rahne and Longshot, encasing them in nets made of energy. Tarot made a motion to draw another card, but Overkill hit her with his net gun as well.
"Marie-Ange! Longshot! Rahne!" Ace yelled. "Hang on!" Ace leapt toward Overkill, claws charged. Overkill snarled and fired his net cannon, hitting the rocker feral and his clone partner. The cyborg looked at his android army.
"We lost many in this battle, but do not fear, they shall be avenged. And to all those wounded, I have downloaded special Purple Heart files into your systems. This changes nothing, except the fact that we have more prisoners and we have to up the timetable a bit. We still shall succeed in our mission, and Cobra shall rule the world!"
A ballroom in Paris
"Marie-Claire and Kyle are on opposite sides of the room." Ali told Theresa. "They won't even look at each other."
"As long as they don't raise a ruckus, I don't mind." Theresa replied. "Those two brawling is the last thing on me mind right now."
"What?" Ali blinked.
"It's the others. Rahne, Longshot, Ace, Tommy, John, and Terrell. Where the heck are those guys?"
"Well, maybe they're all out sightseeing." Ali blinked.
"Tommy's idea of sightseeing is driving every foreign restaurant he can find out of business. Terrell's idea of sightseeing is to flirt with every foreign girl he can find. John…well, I can't really tell for the life of me what John would do on a sightseeing trip."
"Well, I think he'd just sulk and if that proved boring, he'd punch out some people." Ali laughed. Meanwhile, Kicker and Torpedo were having a secret conversation.
"Jester and Dial-Up haven't reported?" Kicker asked Torpedo. The Hawaiian nodded.
"Not since their last call." Torpedo replied. "They told me that Wildstar had engaged a B.A.T. at the Eiffel Tower, and they were investigating. They haven't called in since."
"That's not like Dial-Up." The blonde ninja noted. "Not in the least. I can imagine Jester slacking off like that."
"Yeah, but he went down to an art museum with Dial-Up. He was the only one willing to go with her. You know that goofy Jester, always trying to win her over." Torpedo chuckled. "You got to admit, no matter how many times she's turned him down, beat him up, or insulted him, he never gives up." Ali and Theresa watched the conversation.
"I wonder what those two were talking about." Ali blinked. Meanwhile, Beast King had just told Toshi of a prank plan he had.
"It will not work, Jack." Toshi said with a shaking head.
Well, well, well! Looks like our heroes are in trouble! What insanity will happen next? Will Overkill's plan work? What is Beast King's plan? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
