Summary: Headed towards a Cobra base filled with nerve toxin, Cutter and the Chinese General Cho plan to support the Chinese military attack on the base. Once the military attacks, Cobra begins releasing the toxin. The Hovercraft busts into the base and rescues the Chinese military soldiers and blows up a side of the mountain with its missiles to prevent the release of the toxin to the river.

Cutter and his crew take off to fight another.
