Synopsis:
A team of Joes consisting of ten members has just destroyed several Terrordromes. They find themselves prisoners of Tomax and Xamot, who beat Duke as the others watch helplessly at gunpoint. Tomax and Xamot throw Duke and the rest into a ravine, thinking they have just received orders to free the Joes from Cobra Commander. However, Tomax and Xamot take the orders to have a meeting with some of their nastiest vipers, who ultimately kill some of the Joes.
In the ravine, the Joes hear the Cobra armor leaving, and Doc volunteers to peek over the edge. However, he is shot dead by a SAW viper, who keeps firing at the trapped Joes. Some of the Joes sacrifice themselves, and Lt. Falcon throws a knife into the SAW viper's chest. The two vipers prepare for an attack, and Falcon is boosted over the edge of the ravine. He knocks out the SAW viper but is hit by a viper's bullet in the arm. Quick Kick is out of the ravine and fires at the vipers until his weapon is empty.
Breaker uses the radio in the Rage to contact the Pit for an evacuation. Hawk plans a rescue mission, and the Defiant is launched in ten minutes. However, Tomax and Xamot interrupt the transmission and send two HISS II tanks, a Maggot, and two FANG II helicopters to finish the job. The Joes head to the extraction point, leaving the scene, but the SAW viper isn't dead and swears revenge. The Defiant battles the Cobra tanks and helicopters, but the Rage is hit, killing several Joes.
Finally, falling through the sky, the Mobile Battle Bunker deploys chutes, but they rip, and the Joes begin to plummet.
