Long Summary Death or Glory In a letter to Ministry of Defense's liaison officer to Action Force, Trent, Buzzer explains his ransom demands for the return of his daughter, Amy. Those demands are that Action Force be sent on a mission a long way away from London, keep the kidnap away from the police and he wants the confidential personnel files of the Action Force team. The Action Force team lead by Flint parachute onto a Greek island and attack abandoned Cobra bunker. It all seems very suspicious to Lady Jaye and she expresses it to Flint. Trent a little out of shape meets up with Dreadnoks Buzzer, Ripper and Monkeywrench. Trent's plan is to steal his daughter back without giving away the files. He confronts the Dreadnoks, an exchange is started. His daughter is walking towards him, he calls for her to hit the deck and Trent starts firing. Monkeywrench is shot. Ripper jumps in a bulldozer and almost runs over Trent. As he dodges the bulldozer the Dreadnoks are able to catch him. A very pissed off Monkeywrench then executes the wounded Trent. Amy has run off, Trent believes she is safe. After Trent's death the Dreadnoks recapture Amy. Later after receiving the news about Trent's death and his daughter's capture, Hawk, Snake-Eyes and Flint go on a mission to rescue Amy. A gun fight erupts between Action Force and Dreadnoks. Monkeywrench takes off with Amy on his motorcycle, Snake-Eyes fights with Ripper and Buzzer attacks Hawk. Flint is following Monkeywrench when Amy is able to free herself leaving Flint with a clean shot. A Rattler airplane arrives and starts firing at Snake-Eyes and Hawk. Flint makes a decision to shoot the Rattler pilot, a decision that saves everyone but allows Monkeywrench to escape. Action Force recover Amy and mourn the death of Trent. Ancient Relics Part 2 In the sewers of London, Scarlett, Airtight, Flint, Barbeque and Bazooka are investigating a report of a monster.
