Cobra Stops the World (NOT!)

To Sparky Genocide: Hey there Sparky! Nice to hear from you again, man! Check out my one-shot "What's in a Codename, anyway?". Lila Cheney gets a codename in it! A gorilla kidnaps Ace and makes him her baby? That sounds funny! I just may do that sometime, dude! Enjoy the new chapter!

To Raliena: Hey there Rae! Yeah, I don't think poor old Hawk wanted to know what Raven and Slipstream were doing either. Enjoy the new chapter!

To Red Witch: Hey there, Red Witch! I read the third chapter of "Double Identity" and I loved it! Poor Betsy. Something tells me Mystique is going to have another ticked off teen to worry about (Betsy: WHERE IS THAT WITCH! HOW DARE SHE COPY ME FACE! SHE'LL DIE TONIGHT!) besides Rogue. Can we have a scene with Betsy torturing Mystique? Please? Oh boy, more double crosses to come! Can't wait! Yeah, I thought it'd put in that whole John Travolta moment just to appease fans of crazy random insanity. I bet the Joes run into weird stuff like that all the time, heh heh. I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Enjoy this new one!

To AnonGirl88: Hey there Anon! I'm glad you and Fishy enjoyed the new chapter! I agree, it will be quite a day before BA makes something remotely edible, which in the Misfit-verse, means it can be eaten by people besides Blob. Hey, remember when you asked me if Fishy could appear in a fic? Well, I have an idea for a new West Coast Misfit fic, and I just may be able to fit an appearance in by Fishy. I hope you like that idea. Enjoy the new chapter! And check out my new one-shot "What's in a Codename, Anyway?". Lila Cheney finally gets a codename!

To todd fan: Hey there, todd fan! Nice to hear from you again! Too bad your computer's broken. I'm really looking forward to new chapters of "X-Men: Evolution, the Musical", and "Little Shop of Mutants"! Yes, John Travolta's power over pop culture is great. Its great…and it can be scary at times. The man demands ten million bucks per flick! I wish I could get that kind of money! I'd rule if I had ten million bucks! Anyway, enjoy the new chapter! Can't wait to hear more from you!

Chapter 10: Ransom Madness!

The village of the Yellow Mamo

"Run, Ace! RUN!" Duke exclaimed as he and Ace ran through a barrage of laser fire from tribesmen and Cobra Vipers. The two Joes raced towards the planes.

"What's the plan again?" Ace asked.

"Ace, you take your jet and you start flying. Create a distraction for them. As for me…I'm going to take my jet…and send it crashing into the mine. I'll nip this Cobra operation in the bud once and for all!"

"You're crazy! It'll never work!" Ace exclaimed. "It's suicide!"

"I've survived crazier stuff. I've survived the Misfits so far." Duke shot Ace a hard look. The pilot blinked.

"Oh yeah, good point." Ace admitted. "Godspeed Duke. Nice serving with you."

"Keep on gambling, Ace." Duke chuckled. The two Joes raced to the planes in the midst of laser fire. Ace's plane too to the air and started firing lasers at the building, trying to avoid hitting any of the natives. Duke turned his plane around and sent it towards the entrance to the mine. Before the jet was about to hit the mine entrance, Duke opened the canopy of the plane and leapt out. The first sergeant watched the plane collide into the mine and explode, causing it to collapse. "YO JOE!" A Rattler landed next to Duke and the canopy opened, revealing a grinning Ace.

"Need a taxi, mister?" Ace grinned. Major Bludd watched with a dropped jaw.

"Bloody Joes…" The mercenary grumbled. He felt a hand go around his shoulders. "Huh?" He turned his head and saw a big gorilla with a big pink bow on its head stare at him funny. "Oh no way…"

The Pit communications room

"There!" Dial-Tone held up the communications scanning device. "I did it! I finished the machine!" The Joes' communications officer then attached it to his communications console and turned it on. "There!" He turned to Hawk. "Now all we got to do is wait for King Snake himself to make another little transmission and we got him!" Dial-Tone grinned. Serpentor's face appeared on the screens.

"Your so-called leaders have failed to do the smart thing and surrender." Seprentor scowled at the screen. "Now the world shall…" Serpentor turned around as he heard the sounds of a scuffle behind him. "What the! HEY!" He dodged a dagger. "Oh for the love of!" Zanya and Thrasher were seen scuffling behind him. Thrasher was trying to protect a chocolate cake.

"Gimme that cake, Thrasher!" Zanya screeched.

"No way! It's my cake!" Thrasher yelled, the green-and-black-haired Dreadnok trying desperately to prevent Zanya from getting the cake. "It's my cake! My mom made it, so it's for me!"

"You hog! She made that cake for all of us! Gimme a slice!" Zanya lunged at the cake. "I just want one slice! Just one freakin' slice! One slice!"

"Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine!" Thrasher screamed.

"WILL YOU TWO NITWITS GET OUT OF HERE!" Serpentor screamed. "I'm trying to hold the world ransom here and I don't need either of you knuckleheads to-"

"We're on TV! AWESOME!" Thrasher whooped. The Thunder Machine driver shoved Serpentor out of the way.

"HEY!"

"Hello folks. I'm Thrasher of the Dreadnoks! And I demand that hot redhead chick on WWE Raw go out with me on a date, or else…" He produced a revolver and pointed it at the chocolate cake. "I shoot the cake. You don't want me to shoot the cake, do you?"

"Oh for the love of…" Zanya growled. She shoved Thrasher out of the way.

"Hey! My cake!"

"Hi, Starchild…" Zanya purred at the camera, waving cutely. "Remember me? I certainly haven't forgotten you, you acid-washed hunk…"

"Yeah right, like he'd ever want you!" Thrasher laughed from off screen. Zanya snarled.

"DIE!" Zanya leapt off screen. Serpentor groaned.

"I am surrounded by idiots." Serpentor grumbled. "Forgive me, humanity. That was an unforeseen technical error. Anyway, since your so-called leaders have failed to make a smart decision and surrender, you can say goodbye to another tanker." A crash was heard from off-screen. "Oh now what in the mother-" The view switched to a tanker on the ocean. The pink beam hit it and it blew up. Dial-Tone whooped and whacked his console.

"We got him! We got those snakes!" Dial-Tone whooped, pointing at a map screen with two blinking dots on it. "The ships are safe in the Falkland Islands and the Cobra's nest is near Padagonia!"

"Great work, Dial-Tone!" Hawk whooped. "Mobilize the Joes and the Misfits! We're going to get those snakes once and for all!"

Well, well, well! Looks like Cobra just may be in for the worst day of their lives! What insanity will happen next? Can the Joes stop Cobra? Will Zanya get some cake? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
