Long Summary In the torpedo room of Destro's command submarine, Alexander Destro was about to shoot Scarlett out of a torpedo hatch. But his father, Destro, has stopped him and is extremely mad that his son was taking this action without his approval. In the middle of this reprimand the intruder alert goes off. The Joe team has been able to sneak onto the submarine to rescue Scarlett. Officially, all of the Joes are on leave, and is an off the books operation. Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow head toward the bow section, Stalker and Shipwreck are in the starboard corridor and Roadblock and Flint take the interior section. Just before they divide up Stalker has a few words with Flint, but Roadblock steps in to break it up. Stalker tells Storm Shadow to keep an eye on Snake-Eyes. Destro and his son leave Scarlett behind and rush to the command center. Scarlett takes this opportunity to take out her guards. Just as she finishes, Flint arrives with a very cold reception, Scarlett gets a much warmer reception from Roadblock. They then go to find the rest of the team. Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow, after dispensing with numerous Iron Grenadiers, are confronted by Wraith. He willing takes on both of them. He cuts Storm Shadow, and holds his own against Snake-Eyes. But Snake-Eyes gets the drop on him by using a grenade that destroys the floor beneath Wraith causing him to fall to the level below. Using his suits abilities, Wraith then disappears. Up in the command center, Stalker and Shipwreck are fighting it out with Destro. Destro has lost control of his submarine and his temper. After his son is shot he gives the command to scuttle the ship, Alexander pleads with him not to throw away everything they have built. Flint, Roadblock and Scarlett arrive in the command center just as Destro and his son have escaped out of the submarine's escape shuttle. Storm Shadow & Snake-Eyes are standing in the bow of the ship looking for Wraith. In this quiet moment, Storm Shadow tells Snake-Eyes that Gen. Colton has been holding the Baroness captive in a sub level of their own headquarters, which would go a long way in explaining Destro's motives for torturing and holding Scarlett captive. Back in the command center, the Joes watch a heads up display of the different places that hull breaches are happening, starting in the bow. Back in the bow, the water is rushing in sweeping Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes toward one of the water tight doors. Snake-Eyes grabs the manual lever that closes the door, sealing Storm Shadow on the safe side and leaving himself in the flooded part. Storm Shadow in complete grief says "Silent Master! It's not your time! You cannot have done this! Not now. It... should've been me." Summary by Josh Eggebeen
