| Long Summary
Cobra Commander, with the support of the Night Creepers, surprise Storm Shadow, Billy, and Junko Akita (Storm Shadows apprentice and lover) at his home in Hong Kong. Cobra Commander leaves the scene as the battle rages between Storm Shadow and the Night Creepers. After an extended fight, Billy and Storm Shadow make it to the elevator. As Junko is arriving at the elevator a Night Creeper sets off an explosion that separates them. The explosion pretty much destroys the floor of the building and the elevator Billy and Storm Shadow are in crashes to the lower levels.
Slice and Dice make there appearance at the scene to collect the injured Junko.
As Storm Shadow awakens in the hospital a day later, he discovers that Junko was not recovered from the explosion. The devils of his dreams have returned these devils are really just an after effect of the brainwave scanner treatments. These treatments, which he has received for several years and just recently broke free of, still haunt him. His latest dream is about how much he has destroyed his family, Snake-Eyes and now Junko.
A couple of days later Storm Shadow and Billy now joined by Jinx and Budo inspect the destroyed home. Budo pledges his help, and Billy discovers a message scratched in the dust from Junko. It is an Arashikage Clan symbol.
In Tibet, at the main sanctum of the Red Ninja Clan, TJBang, the now surrogate leader of the Clan since Snake-Eyes took control, has an exercise training opponent set up for him by a member of the Clans staff. TJBang begins the exercise blindfolded, his skillful opponent, reveals himself to be Sei Tin. Sei Tin is the deposed, by Snake-Eyes, former leader of the Red Ninja Clan. TJBang is cut but not killed and taken prisoner. Slice and Dice arrive with the captured Junko. And it is revealed that Sei Tin, who helped by Cobra Commander got a titanium backbone, is now working for Cobra.
Storm Shadow, Budo, Jinx, and Billy begin the preparation and search for Junko.
