Comics#30

Duke is on vacation on the island of Guam, when he is interrupted with a message from Hi-Tech. A submarine with several scientists has gone missing, and Duke needs to go investigate.
After dropping into the area, Duke discovers that Cobra has set up some kind of base that has lots of BATS and Cobra attack subs surrounding it. This base is actually a mining facility mining power stones which are a very dense form of energy. The missing scientists are being held inside of the base by Destro.
Duke is discovered as he spies on the base. Destro sends several BATS after Duke, but he changes his mind and calls off the BATS. The next thing Duke knows is that he is being attacked by radio controlled sharks controlled by Destro. Duke is able to escape into the Cobra base where he accesses the drill control room. He shuts down one of the drills, causing the facility to have to be evacuated.
As Destro is about to escape Duke catches up with him outside the base. A hand to hand underwater fight between the two them gives Duke the opportunity to turn the tables on Destro. Duke, while in the Cobra base, was able to recover the remote control for the sharks, and he now sends them to attack Destro as he and the scientists escape.
A few hours later Destro walks out of the water, alive but beaten.

In Sagebrush, New Mexico, Spirit is returning home for a much needed leave. There is a welcome home party at his house that the entire town is attending hosted by his mother; also in attendance are his cousin Jason Iron Knife, nicknamed J-Dogg, his grandfather, and his Uncle Mike.
Uncle Mike and Spirit go out back to do some bow and arrow shooting; Spirit uses his uncle's traditional bow, instead of his enhanced Sigma 6 bow and arrow, and still outshoots his uncle. J-Dogg remains in the house playing video games.
A neighbor comes running up to the party, screaming that they have been robbed. A traditional sacred artifact called the Klesh Staff has been stolen. Klesh means snake in Navajo and this sacred artifact has been with the tribe for many generations. Spirit determines that no one has left the village, which means that whoever stole the Klesh Staff is at the party. He holds a test: speaking an English word and expecting the Navajo word in return. When he gets to an older man, the older man turns out to be Zartan in disguise. Zartan then makes his escape by stealing a dune buggy and driving off into the desert with Klesh Staff.
Spirit puts on his Sigma suit, which enhances his strength and speed 5 by times his normal abilities. The suit reads and understands the neuromuscular responses and then amplifies them making whoever is wearing the suit faster and stronger, plus it is bullet proof. As Zartan is driving off, Spirit takes off on foot to intersect Zartan; J-Dogg then follows on his own off road motorcycle.
After catching up to Zartan, Spirit uses his bow and arrow to destroy the dune buggy Zartan is in. They fight hand to hand, each getting in several blows with Zartan getting the upper hand. As Zartan holds a gun on Spirit, J-Dogg runs into Zartan with his motorcycle.
Zartan drops the Klesh Staff, J-Dogg retrieves it and Spirit sends him away. Another hand to hand fight starts, as a small dust storm erupts right around them, Zartan is slightly blinded, allowing Spirit to retrieve his bow and fire a shock arrow at Zartan that knocks him out.
Back in town, Spirit returns with the captured Zartan to a waiting Tunnel Rat and Heavy Duty to evacuate Zartan.
Later at the dinner table, Jason Iron Knife drops the nickname, and asks Spirit if he can show him how to use the bow and arrow. The Klesh Staff has been returned to the family.

After some investigation, Tunnel Rat discovers that a Cobra B.A.T. factory is somewhere in Siberia, Russia.
Once he comes upon the base, he is quickly captured. Overkill, the BAT factory's manager, makes plans to interrogate him, quickly, not giving him a chance to escape or be rescued.
In his cell without his Sigma suit, Tunnel Rat is able to open an air vent and crawl out. The vent breaks and he falls into a group of BATS, who all shoot each other missing Tunnel Rat. As he is making his way through the factory, he is able to recover his Sigma suit and his mines. He then places mines around the factory, plus fights off many groups of regular BATS.
Overkill catches up to him, but Tunnel Rat is able to escape out a window. Moments later, Overkill controlling a huge BAT attacks Tunnel Rat. Rat is able to maneuver Overkill under the base, and then he blows the bombs inside the factory, collapsing it, and trapping Overkill in his giant BAT under the destroyed factory.
Tunnel Rat collects many of the BATS parts and heads home.

Scarlett has specifically been requested by Prime Minister Vargas to be his bodyguard at Le Charles Fashion Show in Central Park, New York City.
With much reluctance Scarlett agrees. Vargas tells her that he requested her because of her beauty. This really pisses Scarlett off because she is way more then a beautiful woman she is a soldier.
The Baroness has been watching Vergas and Scarlett and she puts her plan in motion. Scarlett then spots the Baroness across the room, follows her as she goes outside and gets in the car. Scarlett hails a cab and follows the Baroness leaving her post and Vargas behind. After several turns the Baroness heads down an alley, when the taxi makes the turn into the alley, it is a dead end, the Baroness has disappeared. Scarlett rushes back to the fashion show.
Meanwhile, the Dreadnoks, Buzzer, Torch and Machete, disguised as models walk out onto the runway, make a big scene and kidnap the Prime Minister.
By the time Scarlett returns the Prime Minister is gone. Realizing that she was tricked Scarlett heads back to the dead end alley, where she discovers that the wall at the end is actually just a projection trick and walks straight through it. On the other side, she finds a clue as to where the Prime Minister Vargas is being held, a wrapper from Lou Franks' hot dogs.
The Dreadnok Machete is an avid Lou Frank hot dog eater, and he left the wrapper there when they were setting up the projection.
Scarlett heads to the Lou Franks hot dog stand, which is right on the pier. As she arrives she sees the Dreadnoks standing watch outside where the Baroness is about to torture Vargas. Scarlett then fights with the Dreadnoks, Torch is left sinking in the water, and Machete and Buzzer are knocked out cold by punches and kicks.
As Scarlett enters the room where Vargas is tied to a chair, the Baroness attacks her, and barrel of gas is knocked over. As they fight to a stand still Scarlett is able to get the upper hand and throws the Baroness into the area near the gasoline barrel. The Baroness pulls out here gun and fires', using a miscellaneous piece of metal the bullet is defected into the puddle of gas starting a fire. This fire separates the Baroness from Scarlett and Vargas. As they escape the whole building blows up. The Baroness is not seen escaping, but Scarlett believes that she did.
Prime Minister Vargas apologizes for his comments about her just being a beautiful woman, Scarlett's response, "You're not the first person to underestimate me because I am a girl and you won't be the last. But now you know�and like they say: Knowing is half the battle."

So the fight begins. Storm Shadow has the advantage during the hand to hand, knocking Snake-Eyes down several times, but unable to completely defeat him. After many traded blows, Storm Shadow pulls out his nun chucks and attacks. Snake-Eyes is able to break the chain of the nun chucks with a throwing star.
Next out come the swords; the crowd goes crazy as the two fight. Storm Shadow using the electricity in his sword breaks Snake-Eyes sword. Almost at the edge of defeat, Snake-Eyes is able to steal the sword from Storm Shadow, do a quick move that knocks him to ground and points the sword right at Storm Shadow's neck. Storm Shadow is defeated.
Snake-Eyes jabs the sword into the ground right next to Storm Shadow's head ending the fight and sparing his life. Storm Shadow does the honorable thing by giving up the computer chip they were fighting over. And Snake-Eyes is the new champion of the Shadow Kumite
