The storm around the Pit of Chaos ends and the vines wither in the sun. Roadblock stands up and opens his arms to the sunlight before climbing out of the the very deep pit.

Destro begins the attack on Washington DC with a tornado followed by giant hail stones. And as the mirrors are smashed by the hail and the Joes' vehicles that are tossed by the wind, Cobra Commander laughs in with an insane glee in his voice.

Flint, Mutt and Junkyard enter a Cobra Cafe in a desert and are quickly targeted by a group of thugs because the Joes have two guns, which are just the weapons the gang needs, according to the leader. Like a saloon fight scene from an Old West film, the piano player continues to play non-stop as the Mutt and Flint pound the gang members. From a corner table near the piano player, a man reading a newspaper asks the Joes, "You don't live around here, do you?"

The man in the sailor suit introduces himself as Shipwreck and offers to take the Joes anywhere they want if they can meet his fee or they can "hang around and hope for urban renewal." Flint and Mutt look at one another and wonder if they should trust Shipwreck but Junkyard jumps onto Shipwreck's lap and licks his face. Flint chuckles and tells Shipwreck that if Junkyard thinks he is okay then he is okay in their books, too. Shipwreck scratches Junkyard's head and thanks him.

After Cobra Commander discovers that the Joes have survived he orders Destro to use the full power of the weather dominator to create a massive lightning storm. But the bolts strike the energy mirrors and the Joes reflect the energy and redirect it back to Cobra Temple, causing each of the three integral pieces of the weather dominator to launch into space, break apart and land in a different part of the globe.

Shipwreck escorts his new customers to his air-sled and tells the Joes that the one thing Cobra's sensor can't detect is air power. After Shipwreck tells the Joes that with luck they will have a nice boring voyage, Mutt points to an incoming sandstorm. The mast breaks and Mutt tumbles overboard.
