interrogated by Destro about his loyalties to Cobra
and what he knows about the GI Joe’s being on the island.
The team of Scarlett, Stalker, Flint,
Airtight, Roadblock and Shipwreck go about disabling many of Cobra‘s
vehicles, command centers, and personnel. Outside of the compound, Beach Head

Long Summary:
Duke has just survived an
attempt on his life by Roadpig. They are fighting
and the Baroness steps in to break up the fight and sends Duke to be
questioned by Destro. As he is been moved, he
crosses paths with the GI Joe team that has infiltrated the Cobra controlled
Missile Base on the island of Kauai.
The Joe team of Scarlett, Stalker,
Roadblock, Shipwreck, Airtight and Flint have had there time table, to take back control of the
missile launching facility before a nuclear attack happens, pushed forward.
This is all in order to prevent Cobra Commander from firing a missile at a
population center. Scarlett’s team divides up to
set up bombs on key vehicles, command center, radio towers, and such. Beach
Head and Snake-Eyes, who are outside of the compound, have been setting up
laser designators on the key defense points of the base.
Destro does some serious interrogation of Duke using a brainwave scanner
and some drugs. Duke reveals that he spotted the Joe team on the island,
which makes Destro even more suspicious of his
loyalties. Duke is then taken to a chair and given a truth telling injection.
The entire time Duke professes to have never betrayed Cobra and doesn’t know
the Joes plan. Cobra Commander finishes the interrogation and sends Duke to
be executed, not believing him.
Scarlett sends a message to Mainframe that all is clear, and the base is
ready for an attack, they were able to accomplish their goal. Hawk succeeds
in convincing the generals not to use a nuclear weapon. The Navy and Air
Force begin there attack on the island using conventional weapons only. As
the planes follow the laser designators, the Joes set off their well placed
bombs causing lots of damage. The team then takes cover in the drains of the
base as Snake-Eyes and Beach Head watch the attack from afar.
As the attack begins several things happen at once: command centers
are blown up preventing Cobra Commander from launching a missile, Destro has a change of mind about Duke, believing that he
was telling the truth, Duke is given a gun, and some men, to go hunt down the
Joe forces on the island, the Baroness is awakened from her sleep by being
nearly blown up by an explosion and finally as Cobra Commander watches his
base and its defenses get destroyed, he vows to fight another day, and orders
a withdraw from the island.
