Long Summary At the Fera Islands, Flint orders Breaker to call in the American invasion force. But he quickly realizes the radio Breaker's using is not theirs: nor is Breaker the same. Flint orders the rest of the team to proceed to the airfield while he takes care of "Breaker": who is now revealed as Zartan. The two fight, but Zartan has backup: Soundwave. He snatches Flint up, and Zartan tells him to keep him intact, because he knows the Joes' battle plans. Soundwave takes Flint and Zartan back to the Terror Drome. The rest of Flint's unit takes the airfield with ease: it appears to be unguarded. Beach Head goes on to the tower himself, to find a radio, and tells the rest of the team to get a plane running: if all else fails they can call the fleet from the air. On an adjacent island, Rumble continues his assault on the Autobots and Joes. They're forced to fall back before the opening fissure, but Scarlett has other ideas. She hopes on top of Bumblebee in his motorcycle mode, and the pair makes a beeline for Rumble. Scarlett uses the "riptide" effect of his earth-shaking as a ramp, and as she and Bumblebee sail over Rumble's head, she deftly drops a grenade on him. But it doesn't look like it's enough to save Grimlock. The crumbling ground is forcing him down the cliff into the sea, and he tries to hold on long enough for Roadblock to jump off of him, lest he fall in too. But Roadblock tells him "we don't try around here: and we don't quit!" Inspired, Grimlock hangs on long enough for the Aerialbots to merge into Superion and carry him away. A mile to the north, Stormshadow: somehow having survived Snake-Eyes' grenade attack: attacks again. The pair fight, and Snake-Eyes flashes back to their younger days, recalling everything Stormshadow has since taken from him. As they fall into the water, Snake-Eyes thinks that he has nothing left to lose: nothing but the man who was once his friend and brother. A shark attacks and devours Stormshadow... At the Terror Drome, Starscream and Destro meet secretly in hidden chambers. Destro reiterates their plan: for the Autobot/G.I. Joe forces and Decepticon/Cobra forces to wipe each other out, leaving the power for Destro and Starscream. And to help them in their goal, Destro reveals the ultimate fusion of Decepticon technology and Destro's own expertise in the art of Destruction: Bruticus! At the airfield, Beach Head climbs into the tower in search of that radio. Before can make the call, though, he is attacked by Frenzy. On the tarmac, Lady Jaye sees the tower go up in flames. She doesn't know if Beach Head survived or not, or if he got the call out: so they have to take their plane up and try and make the call themselves. Up above, though, Wild Weasel sees their plane taking off... Summary by: Josh Kern Originally posted at: SgtSavage.com Reprinted with permission
