"This day officially sucks." Vladimir said as he and Amira ducked behind a sand dune.

"Oh shut up." Amira grumbled as she narrowly avoided getting slimed. Vlad fired away with his energy blasts, but Todd and Althea had ducked behind a sand dune of their own. So had the two X-Men.

Naomi, Spyder, and Paige just stood off to the side and watched as everyone traded fire with everyone. "Boy they're dumb." Paige said. "Why are they all shooting at each other?" Spyder shrugged.

"I think it's because those two Hellions have been attacking the Pit and cutting off our water and electricity for about a month. It's really annoying." Spyder added.

"But they were getting along fine two minutes ago." Paige pointed out. "Why try to blow each other up now?" Naomi gave a whimper. "You afraid they're gonna get hurt?" Paige asked softly. Naomi nodded. Paige gave the young girl a hug, "It's okay. We wont let them get hurt."

"Give it up Hellions!" Althea yelled. "We've got you outnumbered!"

"And we've got you outclassed!" Vladimir shouted back. "Specifically the working class!"

"Oh brother." Amira groaned.

"Give it up you Commie Creep!" Althea shouted.

"Make me you imperialist lackey!"

"I'm gonna pound you Russian ruffian!"

"Says you G.I. Shmoe!"

"Hellion hack!"

"Delgado Dipstick!"

"Maoist moron!"

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK! I AM NOT A MAOIST!" Vlad roared. Amira rolled her eyes.

"I'm gonna finish this now!" Althea bellowed as she summoned her powers and drew the ocean water up in a gigantic wave. "You can't stop the ocean!"

"I don't have to!" Vladimir said as he fired an energy blast at Althea herself.

"Hey! No one blasts Misfits but us!" Tabitha shouted as she hurled an energy bomb into the path of Vlad's blast. The resulting explosion knocked everyone on backwards. Her concentration disrupted, Althea lost control of the wave she summoned.

"Uh-oh." Todd gulped as the ten-foot high wave loomed over them.

"Uh-oh." Tabitha agreed nervously.

"Oh crap." Vladimir sighed as the wave hit.

Buffeted, battered and generally knocked around the six mutants ended up a good twenty-five feet from where they were when the wave finally receded.

"That hurt." Sam groaned.

"Yo, everybody still alive?" Todd asked, receiving a chorus of groans as an answer. "Anybody else got seaweed in their shorts?"

"Check." Sam nodded.

"No comment," Vlad said. He stiffened and then looked around. "The kids!"

"Oh my god, Paige!" Sam said as he leaped up and ran down to the water.

"Spyder! Can you hear me?" Althea yelled as the others followed.

"NAOMI!" Amira yelled at the top of her lungs. There wasn't a sign of any of them. "No, no…please Allah, no…"

"What have I done?" Vladimir said, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"I didn't…please tell me I didn't…" Althea said, shaken to the core.

"Me and my stupid bombs." Tabitha sniffed. "I shouldn't have—"

"They're gone? Spyder, Paige, and that other girl too?" Todd asked, astonished and disbelieving. "Did we just ki—" A sudden spout of water burst from the ocean, grabbing their attention.

"Could it be…?" Sam asked, wiping his eyes. His question was answered when a sleek, gray dolphin leaped out of the water and started swimming to shore. On its back were two girls, holding tight to the dorsal fin.

"Yes!" Vladimir whooped.

"Are you all right?" Althea asked Spyder and Paige as they leaped of Naomi, who reverted back to human form once she got close to the shore.

"Yeah we're okay." Spyder said as she picked at the seaweed in her hair. Amira ran up to Naomi and hugged her tight. Sam did the same to Paige. "Um are you guys gonna fight again?" Spyder asked. "Because you either need to include me or just plain knock it off."

Vlad and Althea glared at one another, considering their options. "We're leaving." Vladimir declared shortly. "Call Vortex." He told Amira. Looking to Sam and Paige he added, "We have no quarrel with the X-Men. This is between us and the Misfits. Stay out of it."

A portal opened up behind him. "Until next time." Vlad said to Althea.

"Next time." Althea promised.

Vladimir, Amira, and Naomi exited the portal back at the Omega's base. As the portal closed Amira sent Naomi off to her room.

"Well, this was fun." She said to Vlad dryly as they headed towards the living room. "Next time, I'll let you pick where we go."

"Next time? Who says there's going to be a next…time?" Vladimir blinked. The living room was a mess, cups and confetti strewn all over the place as the rest of the team was dancing around in their underwear.

"Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah!" They remaining Hellions sang. "Once upon a time in a school in outer space there was a class of misfits kids from all around the place! They snuck aboard a mystery ship, which soon slipped through a spatial rip and now they're stuck on a long strange trip!"

"Son of a crap?" Vladimir gaped in disbelief. "Are they drunk?" Amira took one of the drinks off the table and sniffed it.

"No, it's not alcohol….its…its, coffee?"
