"Yeah, who'd notice a wet sailor with a parrot and a masked silent man with a Timber wolf."
- Shipwreck (while marching to a Cobra subway and wondering how they will fit in)
Cobra Commander applauds Destro's escape act and Destro takes a bow.
Inside an office, Cobra Commander compliments the brilliance of his plan
and shows Destro and the twins the loading scene that was undetected by
the Joes. After Destro asks Cobra Commander how the "special cargo" will
be activated, Cobra Commander explains that Zartan, who is already aboard
the shuttle will handle that part of the plan.
As the shuttle separates from the booster rockets, Dusty, Mutt, Junkyard,
Breaker and an unknown soldier, feel the extra weight knock the shuttle
out of a smooth launch. Breaker, Steeler, Junkyard and the unidentified
Joe, who turns blue when his hand placed on a window with a view of the
sun, then leave in order to examine the cargo bay.
Duke helps guide Mutt into the docking station on Joe Space Station
Delta and as Mutt explains that the unauthorized cargo is throwing his
approach off, Scarlett orders him to examine the cargo. "You got it, Big
Red," Mutt tells her before turning to Dusty and ordering him to open the
hatch when docking is complete. Marveling over his lucky break of having
command responsibilities on his first mission, Dusty can only sum up his
impression by saying "Too much!" As the Joes haul away the cargo bin, the
unknown soldier stays behind and lowers another bin to the floor. The hatch
on the bin opens and the Dreadnoks report to Sgt. Popper that they are
ready for action.
The Joes open the unauthorized cargo and discover several creatures
that disturb Junkyard but woo Scarlett with their cute looks. Mutt finds
a card and tells the Joes that the creatures are called "Fatal Fluffies"
and are a gift from Cobra Commander. Collectively perplexed, the Joes mumble
to one another about the meaning of the card until Sgt. Popper removes
his mask to reveal his true identity - Zartan.
He blows a whistle and the cuddly creatures transform into some very
unnerved gothic-looking Ewoks who have been using too many steroids. Breathing
fire and firing laser guns, the Fatal Fluffies help Zartan and his Dreadnoks
capture the Joes.
In the underwater base, Shipwreck and Snake Eyes swim out of their SHARCS
and explore a subway tunnel located under Extensive Enterprises. Shipwreck
suggests to Snake Eyes that he should not try to attract attention. "Yeah,
who'd notice a wet sailor with a parrot and a masked silent man with a
Timber wolf," mutters Shipwreck. "I think we're in major trouble."
The two Joes knock out two Cobra agents, don their uniforms and board
the subway. By acting like a subway philosopher, Shipwreck annoys the other
passengers, who turn away from the Joes.
At G.I.Joe headquarters, Flint tells the team that the past few hours
have not been so great since several of the top Cobra leaders have escaped,
two Joes are missing and communication with Space Station Delta has been
disrupted for some unknown reason. But then a transmission is received
from the space station and Lady Jaye activates a program to decrypt the
Joe Code. Zartan appears on the screen and thanks the Joes for answering
his transmission, which now allows him to lock coordinates on Joe headquarters
and attack with the space station's weaponry, and the Joes are nearly demolished.
Behind a waterfall lies Cobra's newest base of operations, where Cobra
Commander watches the Joes' headquarters burn. He turns from the screen
and explains that the acquisition of the space station is but a small part
of his newest weapon, the pyramid of darkness. When all four cubes are
in place on the planet, the space station and the cubes will help create
a zone that will not allow the use of electricity in any part inside the
pyramid. Without electricity to power factories, military vehicles and
automobiles, the world will fall into chaos.
As the Joes recover from Cobra's attack, Lady Jaye asks Flint what they
should do. Grumbling that Cobra has bitten the Joes once too often, Flint
tells the Joes that he will set up a temporary base with a few Joes while
the others help rebuild their headquarters. With fists raised in the air,
the Joes shout in unison, "Yo Joe!"
Snake Eyes and Shipwreck disembark from the subway train and approach
the security gate, which has a robot guard that checks the voice print
of the workers as they state, "Hail, Cobra Commander. The great snake rules
forever." However, Shipwreck's voice doesn't match Cobra's voice records.
As spikes suddenly burst from the ground and walls with spikes begin close
in on the Joes while circular saw blade roll forward, the robot shouts
that the intruders must be exterminated.
