	One by one [[M.A.R.S.]] facilities across the country have been attacked and raided, much to the irritation of of [[Destro]], who wishes to know who's responsible. [[Mercer]] reports that he's heard rumors of a new player on the scene, and that the latest attack on their headquarters wasn't about stealing anything, but leaving a message. He brings in the messenger: [[Ripper (G.I. Joe)\|Ripper]], whom Destro recognizes as one of the [[Dreadnok]]s. Destro initially believes the biker gang has betrayed him, but Ripper insists that they're victims of the same madman. He then gives Destro a message from their victimizer: an invitation to meet.

	Destro arrives at the meeting place, an undisclosed small American town, with Mercer, Ripper, and a squad of M.A.R.S. troops in tow. However, upon their arrival, the town appears to be empty. Suddenly, from out of the ground springs a small laser turret, which quickly eliminates the troops. Mercer insists he and Destro retreat, but the chopper they arrived in is blown up. They are then greeted by their host: [[Cobra Commander]]. Destro orders Mercer to kill the Commander, but before he can choke the life from the masked menace, the Commander insists that Destro hear why he invited him. The Laird reluctantly agrees, much to Mercer and Ripper's chagrin.		Destro arrives at the meeting place, [[Springfield (G.I.

	The Commander brings them to an underground lab where Dr. [[Laszlo Vandermeer]], the scientist he "rescued" from the Dreadnoks, and a team of researchers experiment with [[Energon]]. The Commander introduces Destro to the doctor, who whispers a plea to kill him. Cobra Commander reveals that he's been watching the many players across the world, all struggling for money and power, and believes they should be united under common leadership. He then unveils one of the experiments they've been working on: powering Destro's [[Battle Android Trooper]]s with Energon. In a demonstration, the supercharged B.A.T. kills dozens of the Commander's recruits with ease. Wishing to gain the power of Energon for himself, Destro agrees to ally himself with the Commander.
