G.I. Joe thinks SNAKE EYES is dead— but in reality, he’s joined the Arashikage: the ninja clan commanded by his sword-brother, STORM SHADOW. After being betrayed by Cobra, Storm Shadow believes he and Snake Eyes share a common enemy… but Snake Eyes is actually infiltrating in order to destroy the clan. After the failure of the first mission to assassinate Zartan, another member of the Arashikage, RIKA, begins to suspect Snake Eyes’ treachery. Storm Shadow pairs Rika and Snake Eyes and sends them to Tokyo, where Zartan has arrived with his entourage. But Cobra makes its own attempt on Zartan, and Snake Eyes is forced to knock out Rika and give chase to Cobra’s master of disguise.

As Zartan takes off on his private jet, Snake Eyes storms onboard, plants an explosive charge, and leaps back into Tokyo Bay...
