Home Episode Summaries Miniseries G.I.Joe: The Revenge of Cobra - Battle on the Roof of the World
"It ain't Toyland, babe. In fact, it's the last place I want to be caught dead in. And I'm talking dead with a very big D."
- Roadblock (sharing his sense of dread while viewing Cobra' s newest fortress)
To save the lives of Gung Ho and Shipwreck, Lady Jaye throws javelin,
which strikes the side of the canyon, shoots a net across to the other
side and catches Shipwreck and Gung Ho. Shipwreck draws back the net with
the aid of a hook and line and both he and his teammate are flung to the
top of the earth.
Cutter orders Doc to create a smoke screen so that he can send a party
to the other side of the island, and as soon as the Joe smokescreen is
up, Cobra creates one of their own. Cutter then notices Freedom circling
the waterfall and wonders what has happened to Spirit. Trapped inside a
cavern, Spirit and Storm Shadow continue to fight until both realize that
the fight is pointless since the amount of oxygen is limited in the cave.
They sit down and begin to ponder the situation.
Roadblock and Honda Lou arrive at Cobra Temple and smuggle themselves
inside by remaining in the trailer. Destro, meanwhile, reviews the progress
of the weather dominator project until Cobra Commander enters the room.
While reporting on the progress of the retrieval missions, Destro walks
to a table projecting a hologram of the location of the laser core: the
Roof of the World.
In the cavern on the Island of No Return, Spirit tells Storm Shadow
that he has a solution to their predicament. Since the water forces the
air out of the cavern, Spirit theorizes that there must be a blowhole on
the island which they can use to escape. Each takes a deep breath and they
are swiftly carried out of the cavern as they are under the weather dominator
fragment. They escape and Storm Shadow thanks Spirit for saving his "unworthy
life" by letting him have the component.
As Spirit climbs the side of a cliff, he is watched by Zartan, who is
in a submarine with his Dreadnoks. Cobra's Master of Disguise fires a torpedo
toward the island so the Cobra agents following Spirit are knocked off
the cliff and will not catch him. The Dreadnoks are confused as to why
Zartan would want the Joe to win. After all, they are on Cobra's side,
aren't they? Zartan explains that they are - first and foremost - on their
own side and that the Dreadnoks will understand his plan in due time. The
island is soon destroyed by molten lava from cracks in the bottom of the
ocean and the Joes escape by Dragonflies while Cobra flees in Rattlers.
