Disclaimer: I do not own G. I. Joe nor any of the characters except my own Oc's of Lt. Col. Jane Abernathy "Demon Rose" (or Emily Rose), Sgt. Jake Henderson "Pile-Driver", Corporal First Class Jana Ling "Amethyst", Col. Roger Stevenson "Cap", Sarah "Listener" Rose Abernathy, Sakura, and now Viper. Also, Dr. Aaliyah Satou belongs to Namiko Ai. The song is "Returner" by Gackt, I have the English and the Japanese parts to the song.

Synapse: Cobra had captured a once formidable team, the Demon Unit, now Cobra has pieced together each of the strengths of the Demon Unit to create Viper. What is going to happen now?

The Viper in the Pit

Chapter 3

Viper was not approached by anyone for the next few hours. But when she saw Jana walking towards her she felt sorrow. Why do I feel sorrow, I am not programmed for that emotion. She thought while wiping away a few stray tears.

"Jane, I wanted to say that tonight we have a performance. Seems like Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow wanted to get the band back together for crew moral. You up to it?"

Viper froze. A Performance, what kind of performance? "Sure, what are we doing?"

"Oh, that one song, Returner. I know it's been a while but I know you. You remember the song better than the rest of us." Jana said while giving a sly smile.

"Fine by me." Good grief, I hope the Commander is pleased with me when I am done. This is more embarrassing than fighting naked! At least Jane kept all her band's CD's.

"All right, see you in the mess tonight!"

Viper rushed back to Jane's quarters and started going through all her CD's there wasn't a song called Returner on any of them. "Oh no,"

…

Jana nodded to Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Sarah. "Trap's set, the pieces are moving."

"All we need is for the last of the pieces to fall into place." Sarah responded while holding her daughter, who was currently clinging to her leg.

"And I get Ja-Ja back?"

"And we get Jane back."

"Yippy!" Sakura started to run around while dancing for joy.

…

Viper carefully walked into the mess. She didn't know how to sing, she didn't know the song and now she was going to prove to everyone that she was, in reality, not Jane Abernathy. This was a cunning trap. Not exactly the best she had seen, but it was enough. And now she was going to be captured, tortured, and then killed.

Sarah, Jane's little sister, stood on the stage with the other members of the band. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were in their places as well. Storm Shadow apparently plays the drums and Snake Eyes can play the guitar…how quaint. Viper thought as she walked up to the microphone next to Sarah. Jana was behind them with the bass.

As soon as the music started Sarah began singing.

As the moon was being held closely by the sky,
I became frightened by loneliness,
So I called out, searching for you, but couldn't see through my tears.

Viper looked out into the crowd and locked eyes with Flint then Abernathy. They both were walking in and pointing at her. Finally something clicked in Viper's mind.

Anata no hitomi ni utsuru watashi wa waratteita
Mou nidoto aeru hohoemi no mae ni
Kurayami sakebitsudezukeru anata ga mieru
Dou sugite

Kowareru hodo watashi wo tsuyoku dakishimete
Mou ichido aenu nara yume no naka de ii
Towa no nemuri wo kudasai

Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow looked at each other. She was not singing the English version like Sarah and Jana thought about doing. She was singing the Japanese.

Sarah glanced at the false version of her sister and shook her head. This was not her sister. This was a fake, it had to be.

Because I will meet with you again,
Because I made a promise,
With love that would overflow,
Cover me gently -
Let me have eternal sleep.

I can't see you,
I can't see you.

Sarah watched as Viper bowed and the crowd cheered. This wasn't going well for any of them. They wanted to prove that thing wasn't Jane, and now she was singing a song that Jane had never gotten recorded. How on earth did she know the song?

"And now for our next piece!" Jana shouted while seeing that everyone was looking at her slightly alarmed.

A/N: i don't think i'm goign to be doing anymore musical pieces after this one, and of coruse putting them into the Logical and Amethyst stories. r&r please
