Alan Ladd Wellington Scott

Richard Milhouse Jones
TACTICAL VERDICT: Alan Scott triumphs with an estimated 56% win probability. The primary decider was the stark differential in martial combat execution (32 vs 64).
Both combatants exchange lightning opening volleys with near-identical operational reflexes, neither yielding ground in the opening clash.
Alan Scott unleashes full destructive capacity (100 Power rating), forcing A-Bomb onto the back foot with overwhelming concussive force.
In the grueling war of attrition, Alan Scott's supreme hand-to-hand discipline (32 Combat) and endurance (90 Durability) break A-Bomb's posture, securing a definitive victory.

Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Scarlett, and Jinx, who have gathered information on the placement of Cobra equipment and personnel. Snake Eyes is about to compromise the mission by targeting the SAW viper, who is acting arrogantly, and shooting bottles on the bar. Scarlett convinces Snake Eyes to wait and prioritize the mission. The Recon team observes the ninjas and notices the Night Creepers patrolling behind them. Cool Breeze suggests breaking radio silence to warn the ninjas, but Stalker points out the Night Creepers have radio equipment. The Recon team decides to use a jammer to block the Creepers' transmissions and aid the ninja team. Meanwhile, Flint talks to the leader of the resistance, Faoud, who plans to attack targets in the city of Benzheen. The ninja team spots Faoud's men and eliminates the Night Creepers. The Recon team jams the Creepers' transmissions, and Cool Breeze suggests he deserves a medal. However, Stalker reminds him that they need to reveal themselves to provide a reason for the jamming. The ninjas take out one of Faoud's units, but there are many more. The Recon team leaves a clear trail to show their presence, but Stalker realizes something is amiss when the missing armor team rolls by. The SAW viper volunteers to go after the team on the roof unarmed, and Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow jump on board. Faoud orders the Joes to fire on the lit up targets, holding Lady Jaye at gunpoint. Stalker and his team show up, stop Faoud's men, and capture Faoud. Cool Breeze rips off his dog tags and offers himself as a diversion, grabbing the jammer and running towards the Cobra helicopter. The ninja team is on board, and they inform him of their success. The armored team picks them up, but Faoud slips his pistol off Stalker's belt, and Cool Breeze takes the bullet. Snake Eyes shoots Faoud in turn. In the end, Cool Breeze dies on the way back, and Stalker gives Hawk his dog tags, calling him a real Joe for what he did. Snake Eyes tosses down the SAW vipers machine gun, and the ninjas get some payback for what it's worth.

The Joe ninjas take on the night creepers while on recon, and later face the SAW-Viper after a Tele-Viper reports to the Commander that all communications were jammed for five minutes, making him realize the Joes are in Benzheen. The jamming was done by Stalker's team, who later join up with the ninjas and Flint's captured team, freeing them, but at the cost of Cool Breeze's life. Now Hawk has to bury 8 Joes. To be continued...
