Full Details

Firefly reveals himself as leader of the Red Ninjas to Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. Slice and Dice attack Firefly, but Firefly uses a secret Arashikage Ninja Clan technique to defeat them. Storm Shadow explains Firefly's background as a saboteur to Ninja Force.

Storm Shadow explains that Firefly is an accessory to murder, as Firefly was there when Scrap Iron killed the Soft Master. Storm Shadow then remembers that Firefly supposedly died in the freighter on Cobra Island.

Firefly explains that he used abandoned B.A.T.s to dig out of the freighter. He also dressed Serpentor in his clothing, knowing that someone would eventually find and count the bodies.

Firefly then reveals himself as the Faceless Master from the Arashikage Clan. Using a form of hypnosis, he was able to trick a person's mind into not seeing his face. Whenever a picture was taken, he would move his head, blurring the face. He was adopted by the Koga Ninja Clan, and became the first outlander to become a full master ninja. He states that Cobra Commander hired him to assassinate Snake Eyes, but he realized that he was no match for Snake Eyes. Firefly then convinced Cobra Commander to bring in Zartan to perform the assassination.

Firefly is able to defeat all the ninjas using knockout gas, and threatens to use the Brainwave Scanner on them.
