Synopsis
As Destro, alongside the Baroness, makes the Silent Castle go topsy-turvy with Cobra in pursuit, Hawk sends in Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow to exfiltrate them. The Joes are successful, but Snake-Eyes makes the hardest decision as he stabs Scarlett near her heart to grievously injure her, making her double agent status more legitimate. Megatron, in damaged mode from issue #79 of Transformers (Marvel, 1984 series), then makes a surprise visit to the castle, but things aren't all that bad (?) as the Commander has a talk with him.
