Below the surface of the water, a Cobra base is where the Action Force members are being held. Mainframe is being returned from a torture session; Torpedo and Shipwreck punch out the guards bring him to their cell. Just as they do this the alarm goes off. At first they believe it because they escaped. But what it really is an attack by Action Force members Lt. Falcon, Wet Suit and Quick Kick.
The Hydro Viper with several Eels goes out to meet the attacking Action Force members. Lt. Falcon and the Hydro Viper are in a swimming duel where the Hydro Viper has the upper hand.
Inside the base Mainframe gains access to the main control room, he sees the T.A.C.S. and steals it back at the same time he activates the base's resurface control which reveal his presence to Cobra Commander, who is wearing his battle armor.
Outside just as Hydro Viper is about to finish off Lt. Falcon the base's activation causes the Hydro Viper to change his course. Falcon takes advantage and smashes a big rock in the Hydro Viper.
Now the base is on the surface and additional Action Force members begin firing at the base.
Mainframe uses the T.A.C.S. a defensive weapon against Cobra Commander; this destroys the T.A.C.S. system and makes Cobra Commander very mad. Realizing that he has lost he makes his escape.

Fast Feud
Flint, Bazooka, Footloose, Shipwreck and Barbecue attack a Cobra undercover base. It is actually a burger restaurant manned by Crimson Guardsmen. The full out attack catches Cobra off guard and they are easily defeated.

Storm Shadow cuts Gung-Ho, dodges Scarlett throwing stars and gets knockdown kick to Scarlett. Flint is able to come from behind a down Storm Shadow. As they are taking Storm shadow away in cuffs, Scarlett sees his Arashikage Clan arm tattoo for the first time. And Flint is able to find plans to the London busiest shopping district.

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.
