The Joes make it past Cobra's defenses, but their killing of the {{i\|Viper (mutant)\|Viper}} army plays into Cobra's hands, fueling Crystal Ball's blood-magic and allowing the birth of a new "Cobra Moon". At the same time, Roadblock breaks ties with Duke, but Skywarp offers to defect to Duke's side instead, and breaks Snake Eyes and Helix out of the brig to join him. {{storylink\|Scarlett's Strike Force}}
