Long Summary Nights in Armour Cobra has captured an oil terminal. They are planning on destroying it and others by setting charges that will cause a chain reaction that will damage many additional oil terminals. Action Force has a two pronged plan: Lt. Falcon on Backstop's Persuader will lead an armour column that includes Cross Country's Havocs and Heavy Metal's Maulers. Roadblock is going to be riding in the gun mount of Cross Country's HAVOC. The second part is Tunnel Rat leading Sneak Peak, Fast Draw; Hit 'n' Run and Mainframe through the closed oil pipeline directly into the oil terminal. Lt. Falcon's mission is partly as a distraction to Cobra for Tunnel Rat's team. The armour assault commences. Roadblock sites and destroys a Cobra trouble bubble that was laser targeting Havocs for Cobra's artillery. Several Cobra Rattlers appear and Cross country's Havoc's also destroy them. Backstop's Persuader destroys some of the Cobra artillery, Heavy Metal's Maulers do some clean up on additional Cobra tanks and soldiers. Tunnel Rat's team successfully sneaks into the terminal's main wellhead tower where Cobra has set the explosives. Sneak Peak and Hit 'n' Run take out several of the Cobra's guarding the wellhead but a radio signal is sent out that the wellhead is under attack. Several of the Cobra ground assault vehicles are sent towards the wellhead. Fast Draw is able to destroy them. This entire time Mainframe has been patching into the explosives computer in order to shut it down. Lt. Falcon's armour has been very successful, they have been able to destroy most of the Cobra's artillery and make their way into the oil terminal. He radio's Tunnel Rat for an update. Tunnel Rat's response is that Mainframe has been successful in deactivating the explosives, but only had minimal time left on the timer. The Mission! Flint sends Snake-Eyes on a mission to a secret Cobra island. That mission has two objectives. The first is destroying a Cobra laser capable of shooting down satellites and the second is for Snake-Eyes to extract himself to a submarine off the coast of the island. Snake-Eyes parachutes onto the island. He then quietly takes out few Cobra Vipers that are on guard and over hears a scientist bragging about how they are going to test the weapon in the morning. The laser has just finished production and is now operational. And its first target is an Action Force satellite. Snake-Eyes then sets his grenades next a row of gas cans and proceeds toward a Cobra Rattler that has landed near the laser. On his way he is spotted by several Vipers. After he dispatches them with his sword, the alarm is raised as his grenades make a huge explosion of the gas cans. Snake-Eyes then gets in the Rattler and instead of a vertical lift off he crashes the plane directly into the laser destroying both. The Cobra's believe that he was in the crash, but he had deceived them by escaping before the explosion. A little later he arrives at the rendezvous with the submarine for successful extraction.
