"Pink is your color."
- Flint (teasing a mud-covered Lady Jaye)
At the Devil's the Playground, Destro guides the planting of the cube
into the ground. Part of the liquid from a nearby pool splashes Destro's
mask, however, a sander removes the glob from his mask. The Joes attack
and Lady Jaye and Flint's Skystrikers are shot down. Parachuting to the
ground, the two Joes dive for cover and Lady Jaye is splashed with the
same liquid that splattered on Destro's face. Flint turns to Lady Jaye
and jokingly tells her, "Pink is your color." Half-laughing and half-coughing,
she replies, "Don't laugh, you bum."
In the construction plant, Shipwreck and Snake Eyes listen to Cobra
Commander's edicts to his workers and break into the chief engineer's office.
Grabbing the laser disc that programs the assembly line, the Joes are confronted
by two Cobra troops, but Timber and Polly attack the troops and Snake Eyes
and Shipwreck quickly knock the Cobra agents unconscious. Commandeering
laser rifles and a rail cart, the Joes escape.
Dusty explains to Mutt that even though he was only a refrigerator repair
man, he knows enough about electronics that he can attach a cable jumper
to the communications cables so their teammates can hear Cobra's messages
on Joe Frequency. All he needs to complete the job is a distraction. Mutt
rips an electrical wire from the wall and Dusty shocks one of the Fatal
Fluffies, who turns around and sees only the two Joes working. Scratching
his head he turns to see another Fluffy cracking a whip and erroneously
concludes that his fellow Fluffy hit him and pushes the whip-cracking Fluffy
to the ground. As a brawl breaks out among all the Fatal Fluffies and the
Dreadnoks, Dusty cuts the communication cable, but they are discovered
by one of the Fluffies, who tries to strike the Joes with his whip but
is electrocuted by Dusty.
Dusty and Mutt are recaptured by the Fatal Fluffies after the cable
jumper is attached, but Dusty's plan works. Aboard the aircraft carrier,
the Joes receive Cobra's transmissions and learn that Tomax and Xamot are
taking the second cube to the City of the Dead and the third to the Mountain
of Glass. And at Roadblock's urging to retaliate, Admiral Ledger announces
that retaliation is just what he has in mind as well.
Inside the cockpit of C-130 plane, Airtight rechecks his calculations
on fuel consumption while Footloose simply "mellows out." Roadblock bursts
into the cockpit and tells the new Joes that they had better shape up while
he is in charge of the mission or (as he clenches his fist in front of
them) "this goes pow!" Quickly recognizing his superior firepower, Airtight
and Footloose attend to the pre-flight preparations while Bazooka and Alpine
head toward the Mountain of Glass in a WHALE.
Shipwreck and Snake Eyes continue to pump the rail cart's levers for
momentum until Shipwreck orders Timber to replace him while he tries to
start the engine. The cord to the engine breaks and Shipwreck tumbles over
the rails of the cart, but Timber grabs him and the thankful sailor admits
he owes Timber. Cobra chases the Joes on the Track Reptiles and the leader
of the pursuit party offers a reward of ten thousand gold shillings to
the soldier who captures the Joes. Polly, Snake Eyes and Timber defend
their small rail cart while Shipwreck kicks the engine to try and bring
it back to life so they can move away from the Track Reptiles more quickly.
Snake Eyes leaps from the cart to change the switch at a track junction
and Cobra agents and knocked off their Track Reptile as they crash into
the switch. As the Joes approach another group of Cobras, Shipwreck and
Snake Eyes shoot down a supporting beam that falls to the ground and allows
them to cruise over the Cobras and climb up to the world above. Unfortunately,
they find themselves in a dangerous part of town.
The Joes continue their assault on Destro's forces while Flint and Lady
Jaye attempt a sneak attack from behind and on higher ground. Lady Jaye
throws a javelin at Destro but he rolls for cover and fires a shot at the
Joes. The cliff crumbles after it is shot and Flint and Lady Jaye fall
into a boiling pool of red mud that pulls them under.
