Impressed that Quick Kick has detected him, [[Storm Shadow]] emerges from the underbrush, and the two men engage in their long-awaited rematch. Ready for Storm Shadow this time, instead of being ambushed as in their previous encounter, Quick Kick takes the upper hand at first; Storm Shadow counters by hurling a flurry of darts at him, but Quick Kick snatches them all out of the air and flings them back at him, leaving his opponent wounded, but primarily, stunned by his opponent's skill. As they continue to fight, Friday attempts to come to Quick Kick's aid, but is sucker-punched by Storm Shadow's ''own'' new pupil, who has been waiting in the wings: [[Tempest (G.I. Joe)\|Tempest]], the female ninja who previously held Storm Shadow's name, who explains to a confused Quick Kick that she has entered Storm Shadow's tutelage after being defeated by him in battle. Announcing that they have stalled Quick Kick for long enough, Storm Shadow drops a smoke bomb, and he and his apprentice disappear.		...all except [[Quick Kick]], who hangs back with his new caveman sidekick "[[Friday]]", having sensed a familiar presence lurking nearby.

	Aboard ''[[Nemesis (G1)\|Lemuria]]'', [[Shipwreck]] has taken to the treadmill to try and lose some weight, but as he tries to keep up with [[Gung-Ho]], he is startled by a call over the comm from [[Scarlett]], and trips and falls. Scarlett angrily informs him that the new geothermal power grid he installed has gone down, and power is going out all over the ship. One of the first locations to go dark is the brig, which allows the imprisoned [[Snake-Eyes\|Snake Eyes]] and [[Agent Helix]] to escape, but as the pair steal through the darkened corridors, Helix quickly realizes from the precise, tactical nature of the blackout that it is the work of someone on the inside. It's not long before the two are found by the Joe responsible: it's [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Skywarp]], who caused the blackout to free Snake Eyes and Helix so they can accompany him to meet with [[Duke (G.I. Joe)\|Duke]] in [[Washington, D.C.]]. He instructs them to find a means of transportation; when Helix suggests that ''he'' could carry them, the flustered Skywarp says that only [[Rock 'n Roll]] is allowed to ride inside him.

	Storm Shadow and Tempest return to the Cobra temple to report that they have successfully delayed Quick Kick. [[Cobra Commander]] is pleased, knowing that the Joes outside will not press on any further into the temple until their martial artist teammate has rejoined them—a valuable delay that buys Cobra the time they need to put the final phase of their plan into motion.

	Aboard ''[[Nemesis (G1)\|Lemuria]]'', [[Shipwreck]] has taken to the treadmill to try and lose some weight, but as he tries to keep up with [[Gung-Ho]], he is startled by a call over the comm from [[Scarlett]], and trips and falls. Scarlett angrily informs him that the new geothermal power grid he installed has gone down, and power is going out all over the ship. One of the first locations to go dark is the brig, which allows the imprisoned [[Snake-Eyes\|Snake Eyes]] and [[Agent Helix]] to escape, but as the pair steal through the darkened corridors, Helix quickly realizes from the precise, tactical nature of the blackout that it is the work of someone on the inside. It's not long before the two are found by the Joe responsible: it's [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Skywarp]], who caused the blackout to free Snake Eyes and Helix so they can accompany him to meet with [[Duke (G.I. Joe)\|Duke]] in [[Washington, D.C.]]. He instructs them to find a means of transportation; when Helix suggests that ''he'' could carry them, the flustered Skywarp says that only [[Rock 'n Roll]] is allowed to ride inside him.
