Great work, Lady Jaye. You got it wired, but the next quake is gonna tear the place apart.
GUNG-HO
What're you doin'?
SHIPWRECK
Stretchin' a point!
FLINT
That was a little too close for me, Lady Jaye.
SHIPWRECK
That was great for me. I love danger.
EXT. ISLAND OF NO RETURN - REEF
CUTTER
Doc, give us some cover, and I'll send a unit around the back of the island while we keep Cobra busy here.
DOC
Can do, Cutter, but we don't have much time. If these readings are right, the freak weather has cracked the earth's crust. Molten lava is seeping up into the sea water. If we don't get out of here soon, we'll be boiled like chickens in a stew pot!
CUTTER
This is one chicken who plans to be long gone before then. Now let's have that cover!
DOC
Roger!
BARONESS
They're moving out behind that smokescreen! We must counter their countermove at once!
BARONESS
Dispatch a landing party to the other side of the island. Something is causing the temperature to rise dangerously.
EXT. OCEAN - UNDERWATER
INT. SUBMARINE
ZARTAN
Exactly as I had hoped. Cobra and G. I. Joe are intent on outwitting each other. They will never even notice us.
EXT. ISLAND OF NO RETURN - REEF
CUTTER
It's Freedom...but what happened to Spirit?
INT. ISLAND OF NO RETURN - CAVE
SPIRIT
There is too little air to waste it on pointless combat.
STORM SHADOW
Soon we will either use up what oxygen remains, or the sea will rise and take our lives.
SPIRIT
We must dwell on this.
EXT. ROAD NEAR COBRA TEMPLE - MORNING
INT. TRUCK - TRAILER
HONDA LOU
They say misery loves company, but Roadblock, I've got more misery than I can handle. How am I ever gonna get my trucks back?
ROADBLOCK
That's somethin' we'll worry about later. Right now, I'd say we got other problems arisin'.
EXT. COBRA TEMPLE - MORNING
HONDA LOU
That's a sight mean enough to stampede a herd of gila monsters!
HONDA LOU (O.C.)
What is this place?
ROADBLOCK (O.C.)
It ain't toyland, babe. In fact, it's the last place I'd wanna be caught dead in. And I'm talkin' dead with a very big D.
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - COMMAND CENTER
DESTRO
My ion correlator still lies somewhere on the Island of No Return, but my hydromaster has been recovered from the Palace of Doom. That puts the struggle decidedly in my favor. And I still retain two of the enemy for potential bargaining pieces.
COBRA COMMANDER
"I," Destro? Surely you mean "we." Because unless WE recover all three pieces of OUR Dominator and reassemble them before G. I. Joe, all of US will be finished!
DESTRO
How well you perceive the situation, my dear Cobra Commander. I was just about to launch the third and most difficult mission.
COBRA COMMANDER
Then you have prepared the necessary equipment?
DESTRO
Yes, Commander. We must now marshal our forces to wage the ultimate battle on the Roof of the World.
INT. ISLAND OF NO RETURN - CAVE
SPIRIT
I have concentrated on our predicament
STORM SHADOW
It...is...hopeless.
SPIRIT
Listen to me. The rising water may be the force that can save us.
STORM SHADOW
I do not understand.
SPIRIT
The water forces the air out. Somewhere near the surface, this air must escape. There must be a blowhole. Perhaps it can help us to escape, too.
STORM SHADOW
Your theorizing is too late. We shall soon learn the eternal secret together.
SPIRIT
If we use the air beneath this fragment, we may be able to breathe.
EXT. ISLAND OF NO RETURN
STORM SHADOW
You have saved my unworthy life. The Weather Dominator shall be yours.
SPIRIT
We shall meet again.
FIREFLY
There's the piece of the Dominator, and only one Joe to worry about. Cobra!
SPIRIT
What troubles you, noble Freedom?
FIREFLY
Aughh! Get him off!
INT. SUBMARINE
ZARTAN
We've come just in time. The Joe warrior seems sure to lose, unless we intervene.
TORCH
But we want the Joes to lose, don't we? I mean, we are on the other side, ain't we?
ZARTAN
We are on our side first and foremost, and we stand to gain the most if Cobra and G. I. Joe each possess one fragment of the Weather Dominator.
RIPPER
Cor, blimey. I don't understand.
ZARTAN
You shall. Believe me, you shall understand everything. But for now, let us even the score.
EXT. ISLAND OF NO RETURN
WILD BILL
Spirit! I thought we'd never see you again!
SPIRIT
We must leave at once!
WILD BILL
I've got Spirit and the fragment. We're headin' for the carrier! Yo Joe!
WILD BILL
Hot tamales! The whole island's meltin'!
EXT. ISLAND OF NO RETURN - REEF
CUTTER
Let's get outta here!
BARONESS
Withdraw! Withdraw!
BARONESS
G. I. Joe has won this round, but the deciding race remains. And we shall triumph yet! Cobra!
EXT. ARCTIC GLACIER
DESTRO
Our final destination: the Roof of the World
DESTRO
There, Major Bludd! The laser core itself lies on the other side of this mountain of ice.
MAJ. BLUDD
We shall recover the laser core before G. I. Joe knows we're here!
SNOW JOB
Yo Joe!
LADY JAYE
The sensor reading puts the last fragment miles inside the glacier, Snow Job. Any ideas for getting it out?
SNOW JOB
Sure, as soon as I get us in. That's why I brought my glacier sled.
SHIPWRECK
Cute. But how do you go tobogganing inside a glacier?
SNOW JOB
Through the sluiceways--ancient tunnels formed by hot springs, trapped within the glacier.
GUNG-HO
What happens if we get stuck inside the glacier?
SHIPWRECK
You'll never have to send out for ice again.
FLINT
Let's go for it.
SHIPWRECK
Hey, who's gonna ride with me?
GUNG-HO
Get a date some other time. This ain't the Tunnel of Love.
ZARTAN
Faster, you louts! We must reach the secret crevice if we are to have the advantage of surprise!
TORCH
Blimey, Zartan, why can't we just come in by chopper? Me runny nose is froze!
ZARTAN
It's too dangerous to fly in this weather!
RIPPER
Too dangerous?
ZARTAN
Careful, you fool! One misstep and we'll all be buried forever in a tomb of eternal ice! Onward, onward!
BARONESS
Zartan and his Dreadnoks! Why are they making a private assault on the glacier? Destro! Baroness calling Destro, please come in! Cursed weather.
INT. ARCTIC GLACIER
INT. TUNNELING MACHINE
DESTRO
Any moment now we shall reach the icy plateau which leads to the laser core. Stand by!
COBRAS
Cobra!
INT. ARCTIC GLACIER - SLUICEWAY
SNOW JOB
We're almost there!
INT. TUNNELING MACHINE
DESTRO
Increase speed! The plateau is just below!
INT. ARCTIC GLACIER - SLUICEWAY
EXT. ROOF OF THE WORLD - CREVICE
ZARTAN
The secret crevice at last! Ahead lies our shortcut to the crater and victory.
ZARTAN
Ahh! The arctic sun! It will loosen the ice crags that form the ridge of the crater. We are now in a race, not only against Cobra and G. I. Joe, but against the danger of avalanche.
EXT. ROOF OF THE WORLD
JOES
Yo Joe!
COBRAS
Cobra!
FLINT
We each have one piece of the weather control device. Whoever gets that laser core gets the upper hand.
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - COMMAND CENTER
COBRA COMMANDER
Trample G. I. Joe, you fools! Crush them! Demolish them I say!
COBRA COMMANDER
Well, what do you want?
CRIMSON GUARD
Commander, we heard the disturbance and...your screen!
COBRA COMMANDER
Defective equipment! I want the officer in charge of communications maintenance disciplined at once!
CRIMSON GUARD
B-b-b-but, uh...Commander!
COBRA COMMANDER
Get out, all of you! I wish to plan in private! OUT!
COBRA COMMANDER
Dunderheads! Imbeciles! Why are great men always surrounded by lesser beings?
ROADBLOCK
I ask myself the same question, fool.
COBRA COMMANDER
How did you get here? Gua...
ROADBLOCK
That's easy for you to say, sucker. Now shut up.
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - CORRIDOR
COBRA COMMANDER
Get the intruders!
ROADBLOCK
Flippin' time, little buddy!
ROADBLOCK (singing)
Oh, he'll fight for freedom wherever there's trouble. G. I. Joe is here!
HONDA LOU
I do believe I pressed the right button.
ROADBLOCK
I believe so too, Honda Lou. Now, we can cut outta this snake motel and...
SCRAP-IRON
Take them from behind!
COBRA COMMANDER
These arrogant intruders have dared to shame me in the sacred confines of my own Headquarters! Take them to the Arena of Sport. This won't take long.
INT. COBRA TEMPLE- ARENA OF SPORT
ROADBLOCK
Duke! Snake-Eyes! Alive! Man, it's good to see you. And you're okay!
DUKE
Don't count on it staying that way, Roadblock. Not the best way to meet, uh...
HONDA LOU
Honda Lou.
DUKE
Honda Lou, it's a pleasure.
COBRA COMMANDER
Sickening, sentimental drivel. End game program, and be done with them!
SCRAP-IRON
Then end game it shall be.
DUKE
If this is like the other game, don't count on having fun.
EXT. ROOF OF THE WORLD
DESTRO
The laser core! Cobra!
MAJ. BLUDD
Go, Destro!
GUNG-HO
Wrong, sleazo!
SNOW JOB
Come to papa!
BARONESS
The weather has cleared at last. Cobra!
STORM SHADOW
We are even now.
SPIRIT
When next we meet...
STORM SHADOW
We meet as enemies.
ZARTAN
Quickly!
SNOW JOB
I can pick off the place where he's standin' and....
LADY JAYE
We can't risk an avalanche.
ZARTAN
The crucial, final fragment of the Weather Dominator, the laser core itself, is now entirely in my possession--a prize which I offer to the highest bidder. G. I. Joe? Cobra? The world belongs to one of you: the one with the greatest bank account! Just in case you have any further heroics in mind, let me leave you with this. You shall soon see what develops.
DESTRO
Use the Baroness's wing for evacuation at once! Cobra!
