Sink the Allentown
To todd fan: Hey there todd fan! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Enjoy this new one, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Slugs and Snails", "Little Shop of Mutants", and "X-Men: Evolution, the Musical"!
To Red Witch: Hey there, Red Witch! I read the new chapter of "Double Identity" and I loved it! It was really weird, with the shapeshifting and the personalities and can someone get Lucas on Springer? I think that'll help him out a great deal, my friend. Too bad General Whithalf's first name is a secret. I would love to find out what it is. Could you find another copy of the chart and send it to me, please? I'm really confused. Yeah, "Allentown" is a Billy Joel song. The chorus of the song would not stop playing in my head, so I called the story "Sink the Allentown". I'm glad you like the last chapter! Enjoy the new chapter, and I can't wait for the new chapter of "Double Identity"!
To Aaron: Hey there Aaron! You bet this is going to be interesting. I hope you like my Misfit take on the episode "Sink The Montana"! By the way, check out the site Quick Kick's Theatre. It's a GI Joe site, and it has episode summaries and the like. It helped me out a great deal. I thought Ali's little entrance would be good for some laughs. I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Enjoy the new one!
To TheDreamerLady: Hey there Dreamer! Nice to hear from you! Which West Coast Misfit is from a different dimension? Longshot! Longshot on the West Coast Misfit team in my version of the Misfit-verse, and like the comics, he comes from the dimension known as Mojoworld. Actually, Sunfire's name was a screw-up on my part. When I first read about the character so I could include him in the West Coast Misfits, I thought his name Shiro was a short form of Toshiro, and a shortened form of it is Toshi. And since I established his name was Toshi, to suddenly call him Shiro would screw up the continuity of my fics, so he became Toshiro Yashida. Just look at it this way: When he grows up, he may prefer to be called Shiro to sound more adult. Yeah, "Sink the Montana" is an old episode, and I hope you like my take on the old fic. I'm glad you and your duck enjoyed the last chapter, and I hope you to like this new one!
To Raliena: Hey there, Rae! I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and I hope you enjoy this new one!
Author's Note: Hey folks! Sorry I was late with the update! I got really sick last night, but I feel a whole lot better now. Nyquil and sleep cures quite a lot, my friends. Anyway, I'm sorry again, and I hope you enjoy the new chapter of "Sink the Allentown"!

Chapter 3: Surprise Attack!
A shipyard in San Francisco, California
On board a Joe water attack craft, the Joes codenamed Torpedo, Wipe-Out, and Rock 'n' Roll were sitting at the craft, guns ready in case of attack, but the Joes themselves were just relaxing and enjoying the ceremony. With them was a teenage boy who appeared to be half-human, half-shark, with gray skin, yellow eyes, and long black hair held back by a blue bandanna, dressed in a blue-and-black costume with a shark on the chest on a white oval. His name was Thomas Sharpe, an Australian mutant codenamed Chilljaw for his shark-like abilities. Also with him was a blond boy around 18, his long blonde hair in a ponytail, dressed in a black-and-neon green costume. The blond boy's name was Jack McCormick. Jack was the cousin of Wipe-Out, and he had the mutant ability to assume the form and abilities of any animal, earning him the name Beast King.
"Well, mates. This is some ceremony." Tommy grinned, revealing his sharp white front teeth. "Too bad that they're going to make that pretty ship into scrap metal. A real shame." Tommy reached into a backpack sitting next to him. The amphibious shark-like mutant pulled out one of many candy bars in the backpack and unwrapped it. "Maybe they'll make the Allentown here into the metallic wrappers of candy bars!" The Australian grinned widely.
"Totally!" Wipe-Out and Jack laughed.
"I doubt it." Torpedo chuckled.
"I dunno. It could be a possibility." Rock 'n' Roll smirked. "I for one, would not be surprised." What the Joes and Misfits did not notice was a Cobra vessel lurking nearby, cloaked by a special shield that made it invisible to radar and to the naked eye.
"I must admit Destro, your cloaking technology is impressive." Serpentor nodded.
"Thank you, Serpentor." Destro smirked back. "Actually, I had some help from Virus. A little blackmail goes a long way."
"Yes, even that arrogant miserable psychotic little worm can find a way to be useful on occasion." Serpentor chuckled. "And that ship will be the perfect platform to use our new weapon." He looked at the device. It looked like a blue cylinder within a grey framework, with a small satellite dish pointing upwards on top of it. "This Pulse Modulator will allow us to neutralize any electronic device within two miles of it." Serpentor smirked. Destro laughed.
"Yes, I remember the look on Virus's face when I told him what it did. He called me a murderer." Destro chuckled. Serpentor turned to the steel-masked weapons dealer. "Send in those new Triton BATs and the Firebats."
"With pleasure, Serpentor." Destro nodded.
On the USS Allentown's deck
"What had gotten into that guy?" Admiral Jones sighed, looking at General Whithalf. The two old soldiers leaned on the railing of the deck of the Allentown. "I mean, I've heard of being dedicated to your job, but that's a bit much, don't you think?"
"He's commanded the Allentown since the '80s." Whithalf explained. "He became synonymous with the ship." Whithalf looked up at the sky. "He…" His eyes narrowed.
"Something wrong, Whithalf?" Jones wondered. Whithalf saw something fly out of the sky.
"Jones, look out!" Whithalf threw Jones down and leapt on him on the deck as red jet planes skimmed above him.
"Uhm General, no offense, but I don't like you in that way." Jones blinked.
"No! Those planes! They're Cobra Firebats!" Whithalf explained. "Blasted Cobra!"
"Cobra! Why would they be here!" Jones wondered.
"I don't know, but I doubt it's for a nice reason." Whithalf grumbled.
"What in the?" Siryn exclaimed as she saw the red jets attack the military police. "SUNFIRE! THUNDERBOLT! Take to the air and help me take these Cobras down!"
Well, well, well! Looks like our heroes are in trouble! What insanity will happen next? Why is Cobra attacking? What does it have to do with the Pulse Modulator? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
