'''What depths will Scarlett have to face to prove her loyalty to the Arashikage?'''

==Synopsis==
[[Scarlett]] awakens to find herself tied to a chair, locked deep in the [[Arashikage]] stronghold. She uses a razor blade she had hidden in her abdomen to cut herself free before spotting a hidden message from [[Jinx]]: "Go. Hard." Taking this as a challenge, Scarlett gets the attention of one of the ninjas guarding her. The ninjas attack, but Scarlett is able to hold them off; during the fight, a nearby weapons case is smashed, allowing Scarlett to grab a sword and shurikens to defend herself. As she cuts through her foes, [[Storm Shadow]] watches from behind a one-way mirror. He halts the remaining ninjas and tells Scarlett to follow him. They pass by Jinx training and Scarlett recalls fond memories of their own time training years ago.

Storm Shadow invites Scarlett to have tea with him and asks why she wants to join the Arashikage. Scarlett tells him that there's no future for her in the [[United States military]] and she was hoping to use her skill set for something more meaningful. The [[Hard Master]] enters and tells her that while they are impressed with her skills, the Arashikage value loyalty, honor, and sacrifice above all else. As such, they've prepared a mission for her that will allow her to prove herself worthy of joining the clan: retrieval of an ancient weapon of "unusual origin" that was stolen from them by a yakuza group called the [[Mugenonami]].

In [[Tokyo]], Scarlett infiltrates the Sato building called "Tiger", decked out in a high tech white suit from the Arashikage. Scarlett deduces that this is a suicide mission that the Hard Master assigned her to because she was expendable. However, of all the reasons she has to see this mission through, Jinx is the one worth dying for. As she leaps down the building, a voice watching her on security orders the building to go into full lockdown.

==Quotes==
"She's good. She's the only other woman I've seen here. Are there more like her here?" 
"There is no one else like Jinx."
:—'''Scarlett''' and '''Storm Shadow''' on Jinx.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* The weapon of "unusual origin" certainly hints at something tied to [[Energon]] or the [[Transformer]]s.
* The Hard Master notes that the Mugenonami have aligned with "an outside power" they intend to sell their weapon. Could this be [[Cobra]]? [[M.A.R.S.]]? [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]]'s other team?

===G.I. Joe references===
* Scarlett uses shurikens against the Arashikage ninjas, one of her trademark weapons from the original toy.
