The new Cobra Commander has made his first move—all-out invasion of the Southeast Asian nation of Nanzhao, a center of the worldwide drug trade. As the media’s eyes turn toward the attack, G.I. Joe—already gutted by Cobra forces during the Commander’s ascendency—move in to try and stop the invasion and determine Cobra’s goals.

Helix, Iceberg, Alpine and Snake Eyes board the transport along with Flint’s team, under special orders from Scarlett. They discover a Cobra base, hidden by a jamming signal, emanating from a transmitter tower.

Snake Eyes moves in to destroy the tower, and Helix follows. They elect to take the direct route.
