Fried Money, Anyone?

To Aaron: Hey there, Aaron! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! The reason why Paul and Craig didn't mock Tomax and Xamot by imitating then is because Craig wasn't with Paul at that time. What's Flint's plan? Well, if you saw the original episode, you'll know what the plan is. I thought that bit with Lady Jaye would be good for a laugh. You should see her drunk. She shows her Irish-Scottish heritage when she's drunk. She'll smack Flint around…when she's not trying to get her hands on him for other reasons. I will keep it up. Enjoy the new chapter!

To todd fan: Hey there, todd fan! I read the new chapter of "Slugs and Snails", and I loved it! Circles are funny! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! I really do appreciate the drawing of the "Black Ice" incarnation of Iceman on your DeviantART account. Thank you again, tf. If I can get an account, I'll see if I can draw something for you. Maybe a Transformer that has the alternate form of a red Welsh dragon or something. I once did own a little Welsh flag… Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Slugs and Snails", "X-Men: Evolution, the Musical", "Little Shop of Mutants", and " Tales From the Magic Roundabout"!

To Red Witch: Hey there, Red Witch! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Oh yeah, things are going to get fun. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for a brand new chapter of "Valor, Venom, and Other Stuff"! If I ever come up with anymore ideas for "Memories Are Made of This", I'll let you know!

To Raliena: Hey there, Rae! I have no idea why you think badly of this plan. The Joes may be wacky, insane, and crazy, but you do have to admit, they can make a plan. A Joe plan only can be screwed up by two things: Airtight's gadgets going wrong, and Tripwire (Tripwire: HEY! I can't help that I mess up! I do try, you know! I have feelings too, man!). I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 7: Piloting with Disaster!

The nearby airfield

At the airfield, three Cobra agents were standing guard around the entryway to a small Lear jet decorated with the Extensive Enterprises logos and colors. A whistle was heard. The three agents turned their heads and saw Pietro waving and whistling at them.

"Hey Cobra Clowns! Your mothers blow bubblegum! I fart in your general direction and burst my pimples at your aunties! You silly Cobra Vee-Pears!" The silver-haired mutant speedster teased in a cheesy French accent.

"Pietro, do you really need to be this cheesy?" Lila whispered.

"It works! Here they come!" Pietro grinned. The Vipers rounded the corner. "Now Paul!"

"Hi guys!" Paul's eye flashed and the three Cobra agents' eyes started glowing purple, indicating they were now under the 80s-rocker-like teenage mutant.

"Nice work, Paul." Lila grinned. "Got the image inducers, Pietro?"

"Yeah, yeah." Pietro grumbled, handing out the watches. The three Misfits put on the watches and switched them on. They turned into three adult Cobra agents. "I look ridiculous." Pietro looked at himself in the reflective watch cover. "These Cobra guys have absolutely no sense of style."

"They don't really care about fashion, Maximoff." Lila groaned. "They just care about causing madness and mayhem."

"This is going to be the best acting job ever!" Paul snickered.

"Not for us, sadly." Lila said as the three teens quickly took the places of the guards. Tomax and Xamot walked into the plane alongside Ms. Rebecca Rockendale. However, what the twin Crimson Guard Commanders didn't realize was that the woman with them was actually Lady Jaye in disguise. Man, I feel sorry for poor old Jaye. I hope she can pull off the performance. Although I have heard she can pull off stuff like this real well. The three mutant holographically-disguised teenagers watch the plane fly down the runway and take off. The three disguised kids walked toward a fuel truck and shut off their devices. Inside, they found Flint in the truck. Next to him was Ms. Rockendale, who was laughing at something that Roadblock was saying. The heavy machine gunner was sitting behind the driver's seat.

"Thanks again for helping us out, Roadblock." Paul grinned.

"No problem." Roadblock grinned back. "I'm always glad to help save the day in my own special way."

"You have a way with women, Roadblock." Flint chuckled. "Ol' Rockerdale over here wouldn't stop complaining about being held up like this, but you managed to change her mind."

"How? Ms. Rockendale is notoriously stubborn." Paul blinked.

"Well…" The racehorse-owning woman smiled. "This young man right here has just told me a wonderful recipe for a soufflé."

"Well, what do you know? Never underestimate the unifying power of food, huh?" Pietro joked.

"Makes you want to listen to Blob more, huh Quickie?" Lila smirked. Pietro scoffed.

"Yeah right. Like that guy could contribute anything besides recipes OW!" Pietro exclaimed. Lila had swatted him upside the head.

"Hey man, what can I say? I am a gourmet." Roadblock grinned. On board the jet, Lady Jaye activated a secret hidden transmitter in her brooch.

A hangar at the airfield

"Gonna kill those Cobras…gonna kill those Cobras…" Ace muttered as he rocked back and forth in his pilot's seat. Ripcord, the Joes' HALO jumper, was sitting in the navigator's seat of the Joe Tomcat, hidden in a hangar of an airfield.

"Uh, Ace…" Ripcord said. "I'm worried about you, man. You're not letting the poker game get to you, huh?"

"Gonna kill those Cobras…Gonna kill those Cobras…" Ace's muttering and rocking was stopped by a bleeping from Ace's radar screen. "Hey…the screen…Lady Jaye did it! We got 'em!"

"Now we can find those snakes' secret lair…" Ripcord grinned.

"AND AVENGE MY POKER WINNINGS WITH VENGEANCE AND FURIOUS ANGER!" Ace roared, punching the throttle. "WHOOOOOOOO!"

"ACE! WAIT FOR THE-" Ripcord screamed as the Joe F-16 raced out of the hangar.

CRASH!

"YEEEEEEAAAAAH!" Ace howled as the Tomcat crashed through the hangar door and zipped down the runway.

"MAAAAAAMAAAAAA!" Ripcord screamed.

"OH MY GOD! ACE! YOU NUT! YOU SMASHED THE HANGAR!" Roadblock yelled.

"ACE! YOU NEARLY KILLED ME!" Ripcord yelled. "OH GOD, I JUST HAD A HEART ATTACK!"

Well, well, well! Looks like Ace has just snapped! What insanity will happen next? Will Ace do something rash? Will Lady Jaye be able to get to the Cobra base? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
