Long Summary
Cobra Commander stands triumphant over Snake-Eyes and Billy, whom the Commander has just shot in the chest. Snake-Eyes attacks him, disarming and dispatching the Commander's guards - but Storm Shadow stops his blood brother's blade before it finds the Commander's head.
As the Commander and Storm Shadow make their escape, Kamakura enters. Storm Shadow easily sidesteps his attack, and sends him crashing into Snake-Eyes. Snake-Eyes tells Kamakura to take care of Billy, and heads out after the Cobras.
Snake-Eyes chases them up to the street-level arcade, and they clash, bringing all their ninja skills to bear. Stars are thrown, blades flash and swords shatter, but Snake-Eyes eventually gets the upper hand - long enough to place Storm Shadow under the Arashikage mindset, the only thing that can break the Brainwave Scanner's hold on him. Before he can complete Storm Shadow's rescue though, he is attacked from behind by two Dreadnoks.
Meanwhile, the Commander makes his way to the Thunder Machine and attempts to get away. Kamakura is on him though, and he jumps onto the Thunder Machine as it careens into the street.
Snake-Eyes manages to knock out one of his attackers, but the other gets the drop on him - but Storm Shadow wakes up and saves his blood brother!
Outside, Kamakura gains enough control of the Thunder Machine to force it to crash, hurling him and the Commander to the pavement. Snake-Eyes purposefully leaves the arcade, bearing down on the Commander. He then unleashes a brutal beating on Cobra Commander, as payback for all the years of misery he has caused.
Before he can deliver the killing blow, however, Storm Shadow stops him.
The two former brothers face each other again, and once again, the line is drawn between them. Storm Shadow helps Cobra Commander to his feet, and Snake-Eyes walks away with Billy and Kamakura.
