A Cobra training facility ran by Storm Shadow detected a plane flying overhead the night before. This facility is well off the beaten path and rarely are comercial flights flying over. The Cobra Ninja Master has deduced it can only mean one thing: GI Joe has decided to infiltrate the island with Snake Eyes. For the past eight hours, Storm Shadow has sent out patrols of troopers of random size and specialties. Random time intervals and random search patterns were added because Storm Shadow knows it won't take just one patrol of these troops to capture his "fallen" sword brother; Snake Eyes can't stay hidden forever, he will eventually be found, and hopefully Storm Shadow will not break his vow...
Trooper Lenny: Yo, guys, I gotta take a leak. I'll catch you down at the next clearing.
Lenny to himself: Suckers. I'm gonna get a drink, smoke a bit, then pee.
Heavy Gunner: Dammit, that Lenny is one lazy son of a bitch.
Cobra: Let's give him a few minutes just in case he's not lyin'.
Heavy Gunner: If he weren't so fuckin' good at blowin up shit he'd never be here with us.
Cobra: If Storm Shadow had his way, he'd dump us all back on the Commander and not even bother. Even I think it's crazy, no way any of are good enough to become a ninja.
Heavy Gunner: Well it gets us away from the cammel fuckers and spear chuckers. Don't mind them jap, SOBs though.
Heavy Gunner: Yo!!! Lenny, you fuckhead. Get your ass down here.
Behind a mask, some one is smiling, as he waves apologetically.
Hours later...
Ninja Aprentice: he is here. You were right. It can only be Snake Eyes*Translated from Japanese
Storm Shadow: more than likely. It will soon be sundown. That is when he'll make the move, Firefly
Firefly: No need to talk down to me. I know as much about the Joes and their operatives as you, Storm Shadow
SS: You will address me as, "MASTER", Firefly when dressed like this.
FF: I am only here because you told the Commander flat out the one thing you can't do is take out Snake Eyes. That's why this facility exists, Master.
SS: Do not remind me of my oaths. And yes, I realize that I am possibly training my own killer, but do not think you are close to Snake Eyes level yet. You maybe the only one with the potential to reach the goals here, Firefly, but you have ways to go to achieve the master status that he and I have reached. Even if his skills have atrophied, he is more than your match at this time.
Firefly sarcastically: Master, He can't survive if he doesn't have his weapons and gear
SS: FOOL!!! Have you not figured it out yet. He is disguised as one of our own. Or did the naked headless body not clue you in?!?! We have already lost this facility. You shall begin moving out the troops.
FF: But the Commander..
SS: You will stay on as my aprentice. The other instructors, you and I will face him after his move and evacuation has done.
Firefly, finally sounding happy: It shall be done.
