Cobra Stops the World (NOT!)
To Raliena: Hey there, Rae! Yeah, the Joes do not waste time when it comes to finding information. Enjoy the new chapter!
To AnonGirl88: Hey there, Anon! I'm very glad you and Fishy liked the last chapter. Enjoy the new one!
To Sparky Genocide: Hey there Sparky! Always nice to hear from you. Scarlett complaining about Snake-Eyes? Well, she's with Duke in the cartoon, and with Snake-Eyes in the comics. I don't really know how that situation goes in Red Witch's fics, so I really don't know how to handle that. Sorry. But I do hope you enjoy this new chapter anyway!
To todd fan: Hey there todd fan! I read the new chapters of "Little Shop of Mutants", "X-Men: Evolution, the Musical", and "Slugs and Snails" and I loved them all! I hope you can put in lots of Duncan and Kelly torture! We need that! I can hardly wait to see Pyro as the psychotic dentist. I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you enjoy this new one!
To Red Witch: Hey there, Red Witch! I read the new chapter of "Welcome to the Dark Side", as well as "Bash Away All", and I loved them all! I knew that little punk Empath was the traitor! But what the heck is going on with Blackjack, and shouldn't he be in Legion's head? Can you clear all this up for me? We got everybody plotting against everybody here! I'm so confused! And yes, it is fun beating up Cobras. Jean's back in Phoenix: Endsong? Well, I haven't read that comic. I wouldn't be surprised to find that Jean dies again in it. Ah well. I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you enjoy the new chapter.
To Aaron: Hey there, Aaron! Scarlett's entrance was straight from the original episode. I thought it would be nice to put in Xi since I don't get to use him much in my fics. He's a difficult character to write. Yeah, Scarlett and Jake have been bonding. I think Jake thinks Scarlett would be a great wrestling fan. It's a shame that the interrogation scene was a dead end indeed, but don't worry, the Joes and Misfits will save the day.

Chapter 8: Jungle Fever!
The Pit Communications Room
"We got another transmission, Hawk." Dial-Tone said. "It's Serpentor." Hawk nodded. The mad Cobra Emperor appeared on the screen.
"People of Earth, I am Serpentor, Emperor of Cobra. I have waited patiently for the world to surrender under my destined rule. Your failure to surrender has just cost you another tanker full of your precious oil." Serpentor snarled. The image of the Cobra Emperor was changed to an oil tanker just floating down the ocean. A pink laser beam came down from up in the sky and hit the tanker, causing it to explode. Suddenly, Dial-Tone whooped with glee.
"YES!" The Joe communications officer whooped. Hawk's jaw dropped.
"Dial-Tone, I can't believe you! You're actually cheering that lunatic!" Hawk exclaimed. Dial-Tone groaned.
"No, Duke. It's just Serpentor has just given us a big fat wide helping hand." The Joe communications officer smirked. Hawk blinked.
"I don't follow." The four-star general said.
"I'll explain. You see, I was working on a new scanner that allows us to detect remote control frequencies. Just give me an hour, and I can get it working. And once Serpentor makes a move and destroys another tanker, we can use the scanner to follow the signal and use the signal to locate the source!" Dial-Tone grinned.
"And we can use the scanner to put the kibosh on Cobra once and for all!" Hawk smirked. "I like it! Hurry up and get on it!" Bulldog appeared at the door. "Yes Bulldog?"
"We got a bloody problem, General! BA's latest cooking 'masterpiece' is eating the bloody mess hall!" Hawk pulled out a rifle and cocked it.
"Let's go BA-hunting." Hawk's eyes narrowed intensely.
In a rainforest
Duke and Ace were led down a path by the tribesmen, their wrists bound by vines, led by Major Bludd.
"Duke, I've read about these guys in National Geographic." Ace whispered to the first sergeant. "This tribe is known as the Yellow Mamo. They've been feuding with another tribe. Man, too bad we can't do anything to stop Bludd here."
"Agreed." Duke whispered back. "These tribesmen are just pawns. Major Bludd is lying to them."
"Actually…" Bludd smirked. "Cobra did them a favor. We provided them with superior firepower so they could defeat a village they feuded with for years."
"I got an idea." Duke whispered to Ace. "And what does Cobra get from this!"
"Nothing these lads will miss." Bludd smirked. "Just the means to stop the world." Duke winked at Ace. The pilot started groaning.
"Ohhhhhhh…" Ace moaned as he doubled over, wincing. "No…more…pie…"
"He must've gotten injured in the fall!" Duke ran to check on Ace. "I think he may be bleeding internally. He can't walk like this." Bludd grumbled.
"Bad…pie…" Ace moaned and winced.
"Alright, fine!" The mercenary growled. He waved his hand at a couple natives. "Pick him up!" The natives helped Ace to his feet and propped him up. Bludd led the two to a pit filled with snakes. "I wouldn't worry about your friend over there internally bleeding to death, Duke. I'd be more concerned with the snakes in the pit here."
"Now, Ace!" Duke ordered sharply. Ace dropped the act and leapt into action. In a matter of seconds, Ace and Duke were able to deal with the surprised natives harmlessly. During the fight, Duke knocked Major Bludd into the pit.
"AAAAGH!" Bludd screamed as he fell in. He managed to grab the side of the pit, saving himself from meeting the snakes at the bottom. Ace and Duke ran off. "Get after those bloody Joes! GET THEM!" Several tribesmen ran off after the two Joes as Bludd struggled to pull himself out of the pit. "Ugh…ek…stupid bloody Joes…I'll kill 'em all for this!"
Well, well, well! Looks like the Joes may be in more trouble! What insanity will happen next? Will Bludd recapture Duke and Ace? Will they be rescued? What're the other Joes up to? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
