THIS IS GENERAL FRANKS TO LEADER JOE,

GENERAL FRANKS TO LEADER JOE.

IS THE AREA CLEAR?

YES, SIR, WE'RE IN POSITION AND READY FOR WAR GAMES.

[ SONAR PINGING ]

COMMANDER, THEY'LL DISCOVER US

IF WE REMAIN HERE MUCH LONGER.

IN A FEW MINUTES THEY'LL BE TOO BUSY TO NOTICE, DESTRO.

BAH! SHODDY WORKMANSHIP!

IF YOU'D BOUGHT IT FROM ME...

NO ONE INVITED YOU ON THIS MISSION, DESTRO.

AND WHAT IS THIS MISSION?

YOU'LL SEE SOON ENOUGH. NOW SILENCE!

I WANT TO HEAR THIS.

WE'LL COMMENCE AT EXACTLY 10:00 HOURS.

-Will your team be ready? -YES, SIR.

THE JOES ARE REALLY ON THE BALL, EH, ERICKSON?

MM-HMM. YES, SIR.

ENTHUSIASTIC YOUNG MAN.

LEADER JOE TO DEEP SIX. ARE YOU IN POSITION?

Deep Six: DEEP SIX AND TORPEDO IN POSITION

AND READY TO PROVIDE BACK-UP ASSISTANCE.

G.I. JOE IS THE BEST WE'VE GOT.

AS HEAD OF THE PENTAGON BUDGET COMMITTEE, GENERAL HOWE,

I'M SURE YOU'LL BE IMPRESSED WITH THEIR PERFORMANCE TODAY.

THEY ALWAYS IMPRESS ME, COLONEL SHARP.

I'M MOST INTERESTED IN SEEING THE U.S.S. FLAGG IN ACTION.

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED, ADMIRAL.

BINOCULARS, PLEASE.

YOU'RE QUIET TODAY, ERICKSON.

I'M FINE, SIR.

EHH.

SHE'S A BEAUTY, ALL RIGHT.

Shipwreck: COME ON, DOLL FACE.

I KNOW A LITTLE CAFé IN PORT WHERE THE SPAGHETTI IS GREAT

AND THE LIGHTS ARE DIM.

LET'S YOU AND I GET TOGETHER AT...

LET'S NOT! AND PRETEND WE DID, OKAY?

DUKE: Leader Joe to carrier Flagg.

CARRIER FLAGG TO LEADER JOE.

PERMISSION TO LAND.

Landing pad clear, Leader Joe.

-Scarlett? -YES, DUKE?

Scramble the SkyStrikers.

I WANT THEM IN THE AIR AT EXACTLY 10:00 HOURS.

I'M ON MY WAY.

SOUND THE KLAXON, SHIPWRECK.

SCARLETT, GIVE 'EM YOUR BEST!

I'LL SINK ONE FOR YOU, SHIPWRECK!

BETTER GET A MOVE ON, WILD BILL.

HEY, WHAT'S THE HURRY?

Y'ALL GOT AT LEAST... UH, TWO MINUTES LEFT.

MY HAT!

EVERYONE, YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.

I KNOW THIS IS JUST FOR SHOW,

BUT THE TOP PENTAGON BRASS ARE WATCHING ON THE COMMAND SHIP.

SO LET'S SHOW 'EM WHAT G.I. JOE CAN DO.

-YO-O-O, JOE! -YO-O-O, JOE! -YO-O-O, JOE! -YO-O-O, JOE!

[ SONAR PINGING ]

ALL SYSTEMS ON!

TAKE US TO THE RENDEZVOUS POINT!

Destro: BUT YOU'RE HEADING DIRECTLY FOR THEIR COMMAND SHIP!

WHERE ZARTAN WAITS FOR US.

ZARTAN?

IF THIS IS ONE OF HIS SCHEMES...

ZARTAN AND I CREATED THIS PLAN.

KEEP YOUR WEAPONS AND YOUR HIGH AND MIGHTY AIRS TO YOURSELF!

WE'RE GOING TO DESTROY G.I. JOE WITHOUT YOU!

INDEED?

BUT FIRST WE WILL HUMILIATE THEM,

DESTROY THEIR SPIRIT,

THEN WE'LL LEAD THEM TO THEIR DOOM!

LET'S GO, TEAM!

Scarlett: RIGHT BEHIND YOU, DUKE!

DON'T FORGET OL' WILD BILL BRINGING UP THE REAR!

WHOO!

Duke: LET'S KNOCK 'EM OUT OF THE WATER!

THESE ARE MY SYNTHOIDS,

PERFECT IMITATIONS OF HUMAN BEINGS.

AND COMPLETELY ARTIFICIAL,

MADE FROM GENETIC ENGINEERING CHEMICALS YOU BOUGHT FROM ME.

AND THEY WILL FOLLOW ORDERS WITHOUT QUESTION.

HOW CONVENIENT.

SYNTHOIDS, WORSHIP ME.

Together: HAIL, COBRA! HAIL, COBRA COMMANDER!

[ LAUGHS ] LET THE ATTACK BEGIN!

ARM MISSILES.

-READY. -READY.

-READY. -READY.

FIRE!

WHAT HAPPENED?

I DON'T KNOW! REGROUP!

INCREDIBLE EXPLOSIONS, BUT THEY MISSED THE SHIPS ENTIRELY!

THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG.

LOOK!

-COBRA! -COBRA! -COBRA!

Duke: I'M HIT!

COBRA MUST HAVE JAMMED THE MISSILE CONTROL DEVICES!

I'LL HAVE MY GUNNERS OPEN FIRE.

-SORRY, ADMIRAL. -WHAT'S THIS?

I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT.

ZARTAN!

TIME FOR A NAP, GENTLEMEN.

[ LAUGHS ]

DUKE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M OKAY. CONTINUE TO COUNTERATTACK.

HEY, MATE, TAKE A DIVE!

DUKE!

WILD BILL TO DEEP SIX.

DUKE'S GONE UNDER!

OKAY, WILD BILL. WE'RE ON OUR WAY.

Scarlett: COBRA MORAYS!

NOW, WHAT ARE THEY UP TO?

G.I. JOE!

HAVE A TASTE OF THIS!

EAT MISSILES, FANG FEATURES!

Deep Six: WE'RE AT DUKE'S PARACHUTE.

SONAR SEARCH IN PROGRESS.

[ SONAR PINGING ]

FOUND HIM.

HE'S DIRECTLY UNDER HIS PARACHUTE.

ROGER. MOVING OUT!

SWEET DREAMS, GENTLEMEN.

NOW TO IMPLEMENT STAGE TWO.

[ BEEPING ]

ZARTAN'S SIGNAL.

SYNTHOIDS, PREPARE TO BOARD THE COMMAND SHIP.

Together: YES, MASTER.

SHIPWRECK, THOSE COBRA MORAYS ARE TOO CLOSE TO OUR SHIPS.

CAN YOU SINK ONE FOR ME?

DOES POPEYE LIKE SPINACH?

SMOKESCREEN!

[ COUGHING ]

I CAN'T SEE A THING!

Together: HAIL COBRA!

LOVELY. LOVELY!

SYNTHOIDS, PUT THE OFFICERS IN THE BASKET.

Together: YES, MASTER.

EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!

HURRY! THE SMOKE WON'T LAST MUCH LONGER!

WILD BILL, SEE IF YOU CAN GET THOSE MORAYS, WILL YOU?

YES, MA'AM.

GOTCHA! YEE-HOO!

HAIL COBRA!

Together: HAIL COBRA!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, COMMANDER.

EXCELLENT.

TAKE HER DOWN!

HEY, DUKE!

GENERAL FRANKS WANTS TO SEE YOU ABOARD THE COMMAND SHIP,

ON THE DOUBLE!

SERGEANT, I'M HOLDING YOU RESPONSIBLE

FOR THIS DISASTER!

-SIR? -BUT, GENERAL, COBRA --

IF YOUR TEAM WERE UP TO SNUFF,

YOU'D HAVE STOPPED COBRA BEFORE WE WERE NEARLY KILLED!

RETURN TO THE LAND BASE! YOU'RE OF NO USE HERE!

COLONEL SHARP,

WE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS SENSELESS ATTACK!

REQUEST DENIED!

WHY DO I FEEL LIKE WE JUST LOST THIS BATTLE?

WELL, LET'S NOT TELL THE OTHERS ABOUT THIS.

ALL RIGHT, DUKE.

Cobra Commander: THE FIRST BLOW HAS BEEN STRUCK!

NOW WE'LL USE THEIR OWN AUTHORITIES AGAINST THEM.

WE SHALL DESTROY THEM FROM WITHIN

BY CREATING ONE OF THEIR OWN.

SO, A SYNTHOID OF A G.I. JOE.

WHICH ONE?

AH, THAT WILL KEEP.

BUT WE HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU, DESTRO.

SHOW HIM, ZARTAN.

WITH PLEASURE, COMMANDER.

[ BEEPING ]

NO! YOU WOULDN'T DARE!

A SYNTHOID OF ME?

SOMETHING BOTHERING YOU, DESTRO?

KNEEL, SLAVE.

AT LEAST IT OBEYS ORDERS.

DESTROY IT.

DESTROY IT, OR I'LL --

EASY, DESTRO.

ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE THE NEUTRALIZER.

NO, NOT THAT SETTING!

USE THE SHORT-DISTANCE SETTING

OR YOU'LL DESTROY ALL THE SYNTHOIDS.

OH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

WELL.

HOW -- HOW TEMPORARY! [ LAUGHS ]

REMEMBER, DESTRO, EVEN YOU CAN BE REPLACED.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

WE SHALL SEE.

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS RECOMMENDATION, GENERAL HOWE?

ABSOLUTELY.

THE G.I. JOE PROGRAM IS A DRAIN ON OUR RESOURCES.

WE MUST CUT THEIR FUNDING IN HALF.

GENERAL FRANKS, YOU'VE ALWAYS SUPPORTED G.I. JOE.

DO YOU AGREE?

YES. IN FACT, I THINK WE SHOULD DO AWAY WITH THEM COMPLETELY.

ALL RIGHT.

THE PRESIDENT TRUSTS YOUR JUDGMENT, GENERAL.

I'LL PUT THE CHANGES INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.

[ COVER GIRL GRUNTS ]

OH! COME ON, COME ON, GET ON THERE!

[ GRUNTS ]

AAH!

YOU OKAY, COVER GIRL?

HOW CAN WE FIX OUR EQUIPMENT WITHOUT PARTS?

NEED SOME AMMO FOR TARGET PRACTICE, SARGE.

SORRY, ROCK 'N ROLL.

THAT'S ALL WE CAN SPARE.

THIS IS IT? YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING!

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

COBRA NEVER ATTACKS WITHOUT A REASON.

I AGREE THEY'RE UP TO SOMETHING, BUT WHAT?

[ BARKING ]

HEY, JUNKYARD. HOW'S IT GOING, FELLA?

[ LAUGHS ] YOU OLD HOUND DOG!

HEY, CUT THAT OUT!

[ MUTT WHISTLES ] HERE, BOY!

[ BARKS ]

HOPE HE WASN'T BOTHERING YOU, DUKE.

NO. NOT AT ALL.

DUKE, WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS!

WE HAVEN'T ENOUGH FUEL TO GET ONE PLANE OFF THE GROUND!

I CAN'T GET PARTS FOR THE TANKS!

AND WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF OIL AND GAS!

AMMUNITION'S DOWN TO NOTHING!

I CAN'T EVEN GET PROPANE FOR MY FLAMETHROWER!

Cover Girl: DUKE, THE WHOLE BASE IS FALLING APART!

[ GROANS ]

I'M GONNA GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS RIGHT NOW!

LOOK, SERGEANT. YOUR BUDGET HAS BEEN CUT.

YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE DO.

BUT WE NEED FUEL, SUPPLIES, AMMO!

TAKE IT UP WITH GENERAL FRANKS.

HE'S ON HIS WAY THERE FOR AN INSPECTION.

COBRA AIR ATTACK, COMING IN FAST!

PATCH ME INTO THE INTERCOM.

DUKE: Attention, G.I. Joe units! All planes are grounded!

Prepare to fight a ground-to-air defense!

Pilot: G.I. JOE HEADQUARTERS COMING INTO RANGE!

Cobra Commander: FIRE AT WILL!

HEAD FOR THE SHELTER!

SCARLETT!

UH-OH.

OH, THAT WAS CLOSE.

OUT OF THE FRYIN' PAN...

AND INTO THE FIRE, MATE!

DREADNOKS!

[ LAUGHS ]

WELL, NOW, THREE ARMED MEN AGAINST LITTLE OLD ME!

[ CHUCKLES ] OKAY, WHO'S GONNA BE FIRST?

WELL, ACTUALLY, WE'RE NOT HERE TO FIGHT.

OH, TRYING TO IMPROVE YOUR IMAGE, HUH?

[ GROANS ] WHAT HAPPENED?

HOP IN, SCARLETT!

THANKS, ROCK 'N ROLL!

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

PLAY FAIR, YOU COBRA GOONS!

MAYBE THIS WILL EVEN THE ODDS A LITTLE!

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET IT OVER WITH!

THIS GUY'S ONE TOUGH COOKIE!

HOLD HIM, YOU FOOLS!

ZARTAN!

YOU WERE EXPECTING MAYBE SPIDER-MAN?

[ COUGHING ]

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE HIM NOW, YOU MEATHEADS?

[ JUNKYARD BARKS ]

[ GROWLING ]

DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE OR YOU'VE HAD IT!

OUT OF AMMO!

ROCK 'N ROLL, GET ME A LITTLE CLOSER

SO I CAN GET A BEAT ON THAT FANG COPTER!

ROGER!

WHAT HAPPENED?

WE'RE OUT OF GAS!

UGH, HOW CAN THEY EXPECT US TO DEFEND THE BASE

WITHOUT GIVING US EQUIPMENT THAT WORKS?

-IT'S DUKE! -HE NEEDS HELP!

DUKE, GET ON!

THE COBRAS ARE LEAVING!

JUST LIKE THAT?

ANOTHER SENSELESS ATTACK, LIKE THE ONE ON THE SHIP!

STRANGE, ISN'T IT, COVER GIRL?

THE NAME IS SCARLETT!

OH, YEAH, OF COURSE. SCARLETT.

THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.

HEY, DUKE, CAN YOU BEAT THAT?

COBRA'S TURNED TAIL AND LEFT!

[ GROWLING ]

HEY! GET THAT MUTT AWAY FROM ME!

MUTT? WHO YOU CALLING "MUTT"?

I'M MUTT!

WHATEVER. JUST GET HIM AWAY FROM ME!

SORRY, DUKE. GUESS HE'S KIND OF EXCITED.

[ GROWLING ]

IF THEY COME BACK, WE'VE HAD IT.

WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.

UH, YEAH, UH, SOMETHING.

UH-OH. WE GOT COMPANY.

WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?

WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?

UM...UH...

DUKE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

UH, SORRY, GENERAL, BUT IT WAS ANOTHER COBRA ATTACK.

BUT LOOK AT ALL THIS DAMAGE!

IT'S A DISGRACE!

MAY I REMIND THE GENERAL

THAT YOU'VE CUT OFF OUR FUEL AND SUPPLIES.

OUR PLANES HAVE BEEN GROUNDED, AND --

I DON'T CARE FOR YOUR TONE OF VOICE, YOUNG WOMAN!

Zartan: COBRA COMMANDER, WE HAVE THE PRISONER.

OH, WELCOME.

I DO BELIEVE IT'S DUKE,

THE FAMOUS LEADER OF THE G.I. JOES!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR GAME IS, COBRA,

BUT G.I. JOE WILL BE ON YOUR TAIL FASTER THAN --

MY GAME IS TO MAKE YOU AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS SUFFER

BEFORE I CRUSH G.I. JOE OUT OF EXISTENCE!

AS FOR A RESCUE,

FIRST THEY HAVE TO NOTICE THAT YOU ARE GONE!

[ LAUGHS ]

THAT'S ME!

I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

WATCH CLOSELY.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

YOU G.I. JOES HAVE DESTROYED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

WORTH OF EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY!

WAIT A MINUTE!

WE DIDN'T ASK COBRA TO ATTACK US!

YES, BUT IF YOU WEREN'T HERE,

THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO ATTACK AT ALL.

YOUR VERY EXISTENCE IS A THREAT TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY!

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY EARS?

I COULD SWEAR THEY'RE NOT WORKING RIGHT.

MUTT, IS THE GENERAL TALKING ABOUT US?

[ SNARLING ]

THEREFORE, BY THE POWER VESTED IN ME

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,

I ORDER YOU TO DISBAND!

FROM THIS MOMENT ON, THERE IS NO MORE G.I. JOE!

YOU CAN'T MEAN IT!

NO, JUNKYARD!

[ GROWLING ]

GET AWAY! GET AWAY FROM ME!

[ BARKING ] -NOOOOO!

JUNKYARD! BACK OFF, BOY!

TAKE THAT DOG AND HAVE IT DESTROYED!

NO WAY.

GENERAL FRANKS, I PROTEST!

SCARLETT, THE GENERAL'S RIGHT.

WE SHOULDN'T INTERFERE.

KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY DOG!

UGH!

SHOOT THAT DESERTER!

BUT, SIR, HE'S UNARMED!

GIVE ME THAT GUN! I'LL DO IT MYSELF.

[ RIFLE CLATTERS ]

SOLDIER, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST

FOR GROSS INSUBORDINATION AND STRIKING AN OFFICER.

CAPTURE THAT DESERTER!

I'LL GET HIM FOR YOU, GENERAL!

OH, DUKE, THE WHOLE WORLD'S GONE CRAZY!

MUTT, DON'T MOVE!

TO BE CONTINUED ON TOMORROW'S "G.I. JOE."
