Sink the Allentown
To Firefly25: Hey there Firefly! Nice to hear from you again! Yeah, I just had to use that line. Yeah, I have seen 'True Lies' before. It's hilarious at moments (Tom Arnold rocks) and the Jamie Lee Curtis/Tia Carrere fight in the limo rocked. Looked like a typical X-Girl catfight over Starchild. Yep, ol' Whithalf is still being Whithalf. An Oktober Guard mention had to come sometime, considering that Daina, aka Vorona, was in that group back in the day, heh heh. Anyway, enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait to beta-read the new chapter of 'Reindeer Flotilla'!
To todd fan: Hey there, todd fan! I'm really glad you liked the last chapter, and it's nice getting e-mails from you! Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait to read new chapters of "Slugs and Snails"(Looking forward to my suggestion), "Little Shop of Mutants", and "X-Men: Evolution, the Musical"!
To Red Witch: Hey there Red Witch! I read the new chapters of "Valor, Venom, and Other Stuff" and "Memories Are Made of This" and I loved them! I liked the Rain Man tribute and the brotherhood ruining the play! That rocked! Yeah, I have heard rumors of a brand new GI Joe series. I think it's going to come out this fall alongside a new line of figures. I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Valor, Venom, and Other Stuff" and "Memories Are Made of This"!
To Aaron: Hey there Aaron! Don't worry about the Joes, my friend. They're highly trained. And people tend to forget that the Joes, despite their insanity, composed of the best and brightest of America's armed forces (And a couple other countries, too). And you can also bet that the inability to use his powers won't stop Kyle from kicking butt. He's from a family of wrestlers, and they never needed superpowers to kick butt. I'm glad you liked all the insanity of the last chapter, and I hope you enjoy this new one!
To Raliena: Hey there, Rae! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Yeah, the Joes are doing a little time-travelling in a sense with this. Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 9: Prepare To Be Boarded!
The bridge of the USS Allentown
Admiral Larson walked into the bridge, wearing his new blue Cobra navy uniform, complete with black ropes across the chest over his shoulders. As he walked in, he noticed a BAT repeatedly walk into a wall.
"Uhm, Destro, I think you…"
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Destro pointed to the BAT. "That thing is desperately in need of fixing." Speaking of the BATs, I must remember to call Dr. Knox and commend her. Her Triton BATs were an amazing success. I cannot wait to see those other specialty models she showed me in action. The steel-masked Scotsman reminded himself.
"We have to prepare to engage the Seventieth Fleet." Larson said to the Scotsman. He spoke into the microphone to the engine room, which was being manned by a combination group consisting of the regular black BATs and the newer blue Triton BATs. "Load the armor piercing shells."
"That's right, my dear Admiral." Destro nodded. "That fleet is full of sailors who wish nothing but for your precious Allentown to be turned into razor blades."
Behind a nearby island
Behind an island, the ship of the legendary pirate Bluebeard waited to pounce on its intended prey.
"How do I look?" General Whithalf grinned as he walked upstairs to the deck. He was dressed up like a pirate captain, complete with eyepatch and pointed hat.
"Like a hood ornament." Kyle grumbled.
"Be nice, Kyle." Rahne scolded.
"Don't be hard on the kid! He's just miffed because he can't lay an electrical smackdown on those blasted robots with that fancy 'off switch' on board the Allentown." Thunderbird told the Scottish mutant.
"Oh yeah, spoil my idea, sir." Jester said to Whithalf.
"Jester my boy, you're my first mate." Whithalf grinned.
"Ha! In your face, Hardcase!" Jester whooped. Hardcase rolled his eyes. An eagle flew up to the old ship and landed in the crow's nest. The eagle grew in size and changed its shape, becoming the teenage Malibu-born animorph codenamed Beast King.
"Talk to us, Beast King! What's going down?" Kicker asked. The mutant teenager brushed some of his long blond hair back with his hand.
"Dudes!" He yelled down. "Admiral Jones's fleet! I totally saw them! For sure, dudes! I totally saw the fleet! It's heading this way! They're going to fight the Allentown!"
"They'll be committing suicide!" Theresa exclaimed.
"We gotta move, General!" Quick-Kick said the crazy general. Whithalf nodded.
"Raise the main sail, me hearties!" Whithalf ordered. The sails went down.
"Okay, Terrell! Ye know what to do!" Theresa ordered. The Compton-born speedster nodded from the back of the ship. His eyes glowed white and a powerful breeze blew into the sails of the old ship, pushing it forward. "With Terrell's power to control air, we'll be able to turn this thing on a dime." As the old pirate ship approached the Allentown, Hi-Tech ran to the tip of the bow, and fired a bazooka at the Allentown. The bazooka fired a grappling hook that hooked to the railing on the Allentown's deck. The Joes quietly used the rope to sneak on board the Allentown, with several members of the West Coast Misfits following them. Theresa tensed, waiting for her opportunity to strike. Her powers involved a lot of noise, so she decided to stay back for now.
"Hey you robo-dorks! Taste me infernal blade!" Jester ran towards a BAT, and slashed at the robot with his sword. It was ineffective. "Eh heh heh…any of you programmed to play Parcheesi?" The android soldiers pointed their guns at the comedian pilot, but they got blown to pieces.
"YO JOE!" The Malibu Joes charged into action, guns ablazin'. Several more BATs got blasted from above by Sunfire. Siryn took to the air and rained sonic wails down on the standard and Triton BATs on board.
"WHOA! HEY!" Siryn screamed as she found herself dodging laser fire. "Somebody's been doing some serious fixing up of these blasted things!"
Well, well, well! Looks like the big battle has begun! What insanity will happen next? Can our heroes win this day? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
