Synopsis

As Baroness and Snake-Eyes leave a wounded Storm Shadow behind in the hospital for recovery to aid the Commander at Broca Beach, he learns he's been infiltrated by Blue ninjas, under guise as loyal Crimson Guardsmen, forcing him to take extreme measures as BN-001, their leader, attacks him. Meanwhile, Storm Shadow escapes from the hospital before he can be questioned by police from last issue's actions. Loyal Cobra troopers run to the Commander's aid as their helicopters run dangerously low on fuel, forcing them to land and take control of a freighter to get there.
