Southside Days

To Aaron: Hey there, Aaron! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Yup, it's Dr. Doom. I bet neither the X-Men nor the Southside Misfits expected to face him, heh heh. Good ol' Lisa, always able to provide little moments of insanity. And good ol' WrongWay, always able to put out bad lines. Enjoy the new chapter! Can't wait to hear more from you!

To Raliena: Hey there, Rae! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Oh, let the fun begin! Enjoy the new chapter! Can't wait to hear more from you!

To RogueFanKC: Hey there, Rogue Fan! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! I'm surprised you didn't recognize Dr. Doom right away. I'm not sure about the FF. I'm not sure the Fantastic Four will be so angry with Johnny B. Goode. He said it was an accident, and I think Reed would find Johnny B. quite a fun guy to talk shop with. Those two put out new inventions by the truckload! Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Apokolips Deferred"!

To Red Witch: Hey there, Red Witch! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! I'll see if I can fit in some more torture for you! Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Evolution XMJ"!

To todd fan: Hey there, todd fan! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Yeah, Dr. Doom is a fun character. He's so evil, yet tragic. You can do practically anything with him. He's one of Marvel's greatest villains. He's fought the FF mostly, but he also has encountered Spider-Man, the Avengers, and I think he did take on the X-Men. He's been around. You can do hilarious comedy simply by that habit of his. Can you imagine him at a McDonalds? Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Slugs and Snails" and "Random Tales of the Magic Roundabout"!

Chapter 10: Eruption!

Bayville Jail

"Man, this happens all the time." A cop grumbled as he saw a couple paramedics wheel away a couple stretchers from the jail. On the stretchers were Duncan and Kelly. They were strapped down. The two had pale white skin, faces frozen in horror, and pale white hair sticking straight up.

"The horror…the horror…" Kelly mumbled.

"The pain…the pain…" Duncan whimpered.

"Geez, what happened to these guys?" One of the medics asked as he loaded in Duncan and shut the door.

"Bubba." One of the cops answered, pointing back at the station house. Screaming could be heard from the ambulance.

"NOOOOO! NO NO NO! EVIL BUBBA! BAD BAD BAD! WRONG! NICE LADY! AAAAAAAAAAAH!" The medics and the cops' jaws dropped as they watched the ambulance rock back and forth, leap about, and finally tip over, the screaming Duncan and Kelly inside it.

"Oh…my…God…" A medic blinked as the ambulance started to catch fire.

Hawaii

"Perhaps Doom should give you a demonstration of his new device." Dr. Doom smirked under his faceplate. He pressed a button on the control console of his ship. The white device in the volcano started to shake. A rumbling erupted from the volcano.

"Uhn…" Amara moaned, putting her hands on her head.

"'Mara! Are you alright?" Tabby asked her Nova Roman friend with some concern.

"Amara's mutant powers must be affected by the artificial volcanic activity!" Johnny B observed.

"You think?" WrongWay barbed.

"Dr. Doom's machine…" Amara moaned. "Forcing…the…volcano…awake…"

"Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! It's gonna erupt!" Lisa jumped up and down, clapping her hands and squealing happily. "All the pretty lava's gonna come out! Yaaaaaay!"

"You have a real sense of the appropriate Fyre, you know that?" Tabby snapped.

"Relax, Tabby." Jason reassured. "She didn't mean to be mean. Lisa's always been a little bit loopy."

"That's an understatement." Trouble scowled at Lisa.

"Yeah. She isn't allowed to attend the annual Chicago BBQ Lovers' Convention." Johnny B snickered.

"Meanies." Lisa pouted.

"Why?" Jean blinked. Scott groaned in the background.

"Two words: Exploding. Grills." Vixen grumbled.

"That was not my fault!" Lisa snapped. "I only wanted to create some fire sculptures!"

KABLAM!

"Oh my God!" Jean exclaimed. The volcano started to erupt.

"Goddess…" Ororo gasped.

"Not cool, dudes…" Alex gulped.

"No kidding…" Jessie agreed. "What're we gonna do?"

"We're going to stop this volcano, X-Men." Scott said simply, staring at the erupting volcano.

"Can I play in the lava?"

"Shut up, Fyre." Scott said sharply.

"We'll help you guys out." Jason offered.

"We can handle this." Scott told the adapter. "We don't need any Misfit help here!"

"Look Scott, I know you don't like us much, but don't judge us by our name." Jason warned. "We came here to play a gig, but we're also superheroes. As superheroes, we have to do this, and you'll need all the help you can get."

"He does have a point. Doom's bad news, Summers." Johnny B added. Scott sighed.

"Adapter does have a point, Shades." Logan nodded. "Volcanoes are big stuff."

"No problem." Jason said. He turned into what appeared to be a watery form. "Johnny B, disable that device. Fyre, help him through the lava."

"Yay!" Fire grabbed Johnny B, big grin on the redhead's face. She extended a fiery aura around herself and Johnny B.

"Nice job, Fyre." The black-mulleted electrokinetic inventor smirked.

"Wait!" Scott said. "Forge, I want you to go with them."

"Afraid we'll make things worse, Scotty?" Jason smirked.

"You guys already have." Jean grumbled, glaring at Jenni.

"What? I didn't do anything." The blonde blinked.

"Lisa, can you extend…" Johnny B started to ask.

"No problem!" Lisa grinned. "Stay close." She extended her fiery aura around Forge. "Whee! We get to see the pretty lava!"

"Oh man, what did Cyclops get me into…" Forge moaned.

"Relax, Forge." Johnny B whispered. "Just let her stare at the lava, and she'll stay out of trouble." Forge blinked. "Hang on, you two!" Johnny B streaked away in a flash of lightning. Jason and Scott looked at each other.

"Alright…Wolverine has a point." Scott admitted. "We'll need all the help we can get."

"True. Besides, we aren't so bad ERIC!" Jason yelled. Eric stopped strangling Kitty.

"What?"

"Can't…breathe…" Kitty hacked.

"Mirage, knock it off!" Scott snapped at Dani. The Native American illusion-caster was exercising her grip on WrongWay's neck.

"What?" Dani blinked.

"Can't…breathe…" Mike moaned.

"We need a plan." Ororo said.

"I got one!" Trouble grumbled. "We go and blast that mother right out of the sky!"

"I'm all for that." Ray nodded.

"Now hang on!" Scott snapped. "Let's not do anything stupid!"

"I got Johnny B and Lisa heading for a volcano, Scott! We need to distract them!" Jason exclaimed. Scott sighed and nodded.

"All those who can fly…keep Doom busy." Scott ordered.

Well, well, well! Looks like our heroes are going to attack! What insanity will happen next? Can our heroes stop Doom? Can they save the day? Will Kelly and Duncan ever get a break? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
