Southside Days!

To Dante Tigerwolf: Hey there, Dante! Nice to hear from you again! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Moses Magnum? Maybe. You never know. The crab was thinking in English, but Jean doesn't even know that crabs can think in English. If you want to see Bobby as not an imbecile, read my fic "Black Ice". It portrays him in a rather unique way. As for the whole thing with the X-Girls…it's just for comedy, man. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "The Z Project"!

To Aaron: Hey there, Aaron! Nice to hear from again! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! I thought that thing with Jamie and his dupe would be good for some laughs. As for Jason's wings, blame Digimon. I think Rogue can crack a good joke when she needs to I think a Cajun seafood chef would be a crab's worst nightmare. The crab goes into the kitchen of the Cajun seafood chef…and the crab never comes back out. Enjoy the new chapter!

To todd fan: Hey there, todd fan! Nice to hear from you again! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Wow, I made you snort like that? I must be getting better! I hope you get some laughs out of this chapter, too! Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Slugs and Snails", "Random Tales from the Magic Roundabout", and "X-Men: Evolution, the Musical"!

To Red Witch: Hey there, Red Witch! Nice to hear from you again! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Yeah, the poor, poor crab. He's going to need a lot of therapy. Man, the X-Men and the Misfits can even traumatize animals! Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Evolution XMJ"!

To Raliena: Hey there, Rae! Nice to hear from you again! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Actually, the earthquake is a symptom of a bigger problem. Enjoy the new chapter!

To RogueFanKC: Hey there, Rogue Fan! Nice to hear from you again! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Yeah, Poor old Jean got the boot from the old wrecking ball. Forge's inventions always screw up because he never tests them! I'm glad you liked Dani's little nightmare, although technically it was the crab's nightmare. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait to read more from you!

Chapter 8: Enemy Revealed!

Hawaii

"WHOOOOOAOAOAOAOAOAOAAAAAAA!" The X-Men and Southside Misfits screamed as the ground started to shake.

"Earthquake!" Lisa screamed.

"Don't worry, Jenni! I'll protect you!" Ray yelled toward the blonde Starr. "OW!" Tabitha hit him with a stop sign.

"AVALANCHE!" Scott yelled.

"Lance isn't here, Scott." Bobby reminded.

"Darn it!"

"Well…if Avalanche isn't causing this…then what is…" Storm asked loudly.

"My Tremor Tracer function in my tricorder will find it!" Johnny B replied, digging into his coat. "Now where did I put it?"

"Not this again…" Mike moaned. Johnny B pulled out a bunch of papers.

"My thesis on anti-gravitons. I gotta remember to submit that to Scientific American…" He put the papers back in his coat and started digging again. He pulled out a whoopee cushion. "No…" He muttered as he threw it to the side. He pulled out a grenade. "No…" He pulled out a football. "No…" He pulled out Lockheed. "Hello." He put Lockheed in Kitty's hands.

"Lockheed, did you stow away?" Kitty asked sternly.

"Sorry, mama." Lockheed replied, the electronic collar around his neck translating the little purple dragon's yips and yaps. Meanwhile, Johnny B pulled out a big book.

"No…" He pulled out a black costume. "Hey Alex, I'm almost done with this costume I made for you." He pulled out a rubber chicken. "No…" He pulled out a plush toy of Pyro. "Lisa, I found your plushie."

"Gimme!" Lisa grabbed the plush Pyro and hugged it. "Mine!" Johnny B pulled out a sandwich.

"I gotta remember to finish that…" He pulled out his tricorder. "Ah-ha! I found it!" Johnny opened up the small device and scanned around, pressing buttons. Piotr looked at the device.

"You are into Star Trek, I see." The big Russian nodded. Johnny B grinned.

"I've been into it since I was five." The inventor grinned. "This was actually my first invention. I've been tinkering and updating it all my life. This thing has got more features on it than all the electrical gadgets in a Circuit City put together." The inventor scanned the area. "According to my scans, the tremors are coming from…" He double checked his readings. "Uh oh…"

"Uh oh…" Raven said to the inventor. "That better not have been an uh oh! I don't need an uh oh! Please tell me that wasn't an uh oh!"

"Sorry Raven, but that was an uh oh." Johnny B sighed. "According to my scans, the tremors are coming…from the volcano." The inventor pointed ahead.

"Uh oh…" The heroes all said at once. They noticed lava start to seep from the volcano.

"But…that volcano's been inactive for years!" Alex exclaimed in shock.

"It's probably a natural phenomenon." Johnny B reasoned. "It's been known that sometimes inactive volcanoes can become active again."

"No…" Amara shook her head. She turned to Johnny B. "I can feel it. Something is forcing the volcano awake."

"How…" Jason turned to Johnny B. The inventor shrugged.

"I have no idea." Johnny B replied. "I have to find a way to examine the volcano."

"Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! Memememememememememe!" Lisa quickly raised her hand and jumped up and down. "I want to look at the pretty volcano and swim in the lava like a fishy!"

"Oh-kayyyyyyyy…" Rogue drawled.

"Is that girl on medication?" Jesse asked Mike.

"Not yet. They haven't discovered one for her." Mike chuckled.

"LOOK!" Bobby pointed ahead of him, at the volcano. The X-Men and Southside Misfits looked at the volcano. An odd white futuristic structure started to poke out of the top of the volcano. "What is that thing?"

"Whatever it is, it's got something to do with the volcano acting the way it is." Johnny B said.

"Johnny B, figure out what that thing is, how it works, and how to stop it." Scott ordered the mullet-wearing inventor.

"What's that appearing over the volcano?" Storm pointed to the sky above the volcano. What appeared to be a green futuristic flying machine slowly faded into view.

"What is that?" Remy blinked.

"It looks like something out of Battlestar Galactica." Johnny B blinked.

"With a giant screen on the side?" Logan added. A face appeared on the screen. It was concealed by a green hood and a grey metallic faceplate.

Bayville

"MY HOUSE!" Duncan Matthews yelled. His house was a wreck. Thanks to Hank McCoy and Warren Worthington III, the house was ablaze, trees covered in TP, and the whole property was a mess. A screaming, burning Seantor Kelly was rolling around on the front yard. "Oh God…" He looked like he was about to cry.

"DUNNNNNNNCAAAAAANNNNNNNN!" A masculine voice roared. Duncan turned around.

"Oh no…" He moaned. Duncan laughed nervously. "Hi Dad…"

Well, well, well! Looks like the mastermind stands revealed! What insanity will happen next? Who is the big bad villain? Can our heroes stop him? Can they save the day? Will Kelly and Duncan ever get a break? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
