Author's Note: This chapter is inspired by the silent issue from the G.I. Joe comic book. So I'm using the elements from that to make this chapter interesting. You call it my experiment chapter. When you review the chapter, I want you to tell me what you think of it.
Back in Chinatown located in New York City...
Storm Shadow from the G.I. Joe Retaliation soundtrack by Henry Jackman plays
Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Storm Shadow, Kamakura and Jade in their Ninja Force uniforms sat on top of the New York City Subway on their way to Manhattan for hours until the train stopped and they disappeared like real ninjas. Then they ran in the ninja stance and jumped from roof to roof on their way to a closed karate dojo called the NYC Shotokan Karate Dojo located at Baruch College's state of the art Vertical Campus where they'll meet with the rest of the Ninja Force.
After 30 minutes, Snake Eyes signaled for halt and they stopped. Then he pulled out the binoculars to find the dojo. He kept searching until he finally saw the building they were seeking.
He signaled the others that the coast was clear but before they head there, they saw dozens of Cobra Red Ninjas led by Slice & Dice. Knowing that they're here to cause trouble, they followed them without compromising their presence.
Outside the College, Slice & Dice directed the Cobra Red Ninjas to cover the doors and attack any member of the Ninja Force they see. Some of them went inside, incapacitated the security guards and headed straight to the dojo.
Slice & Dice were about to enter the building but they were stopped when the ninja star flew through them and hit the wall. They quickly turned around and saw 5 Joe Ninjas standing before.
Both sides engaged in battle but Snake Eyes halting the others, insisted that he and Storm Shadow will fight them alone without interference.
Inside the College, the Cobra Red Ninjas heard a sparring match inside the dojo and started to pull their swords out. One of them peeked through the door what appeared to be the G.I. Joe Ninja Force and gave his fellow red ninjas the hi sign to ambush them.
They opened the door and stormed inside the dojo, only to find out that it was empty until a huge pile of smoke appeared in front of them.
The Cobra Red Ninjas were blinded by the smoke, they were attacked by a group of ninjas in shadows and their loud screams echoed from the dojo through the college. They were massacred until none of them were left standing.
When the smoke cleared, the Cobra Red Ninjas were unconscious and the G.I. Joe Ninja Force appeared to be standing over them.
The members are Dojo, T'Jbang, Nunchuk, T'Gin-Zu, Tiger Claw, Banzai and Bushido.
They stood triumphant over them but they didn't celebrate their victory because they saw more Cobra Red Ninjas coming inside the Dojo with their swords out.
The Prodigy's Breathe plays
The Ninja Force pulled their weapons out as well and engaged in battle. And then both sides charged toward each other and started fighting.
Nunchuk took down 7 Red Ninjas by using his signature nunchaku to hit four in the face and finish off three more with the series of kicks and leg sweeps.
Bushido and Banzai double teamed against 15 Red Ninjas in a sword fight. One of the Red Ninjas tried to stab Banzai in the chest but Banzai managed to dodge that blow, only to get a cut in his right arm.
Banzai furiously retaliated by stabbing the Red Ninja in the chest killing him while Bushido took out four Red Ninjas by slicing them in the chest with his sword.
T'JBang slid through 12 Red Ninjas before he frontflip on his hands twice and threw ninja stars at 6 of them in 3 of their heads and the other 3 at their chest.
Dojo swung the kusarigama at 5 Red Ninjas, knocking out four and the blade on the weapon slash one in the throat, killing him before finishing off 7 more with his martial art skills.
T'Jbang fought 6 more Red Ninjas with his custom made swords in swords before he defeated them.
Tiger Claw back flipped in order to prevent from being leg swept by the Red Ninja and kicked him on the back of his head with the Axe Kick. His also parried the incoming punches from two Red Ninjas and countered with a double palm to the chest, knocking them out.
Tiger Claw stopped the incoming Red Ninja by punching him in the throat, Mongolian Chopped him on the shoulder and finished him off with the power kick to the chest, sent him flying to the floor.
When the two Red Ninjas charged toward him, Tiger Claw jumped and kicked them in their faces, incapacitating them before he kipped back on his feet.
When one of the Red Ninjas knocked the kusarigama off of his hand, Dojo furiously destroyed 10 of them with the series of punches and kicks before he charged toward the one who disarmed him, took him down and tormented him with the MMA styles punches to the face.
He stopped punching and placed him in the cross armbar until the Red Ninja screamed in pain and tapped out for mercy. Dojo released the hold and knocked him out with the punch to the face.
All the Cobra Red Ninjas are now defeated by the combined might of the Ninja Force. In order to find Snake Eyes and the others, they left the dojo to go outside.
Back outside the college, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow pulled their swords out while Slice & Dice brought their ninja stars out.
For 3 times in row, Slice & Dice threw their ninja stars at both Joe Ninjas but Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow swung their swords and destroyed the ninja stars in order to block them.
When both sides charged toward each other, they began to clash with swords on their hands.
Snake Eyes took on Slice while Storm Shadow fought against Dice with Scarlett, Kamakura and Jade watching them fight.
Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow used the katas that they practiced earlier during the sword fight.
Everytime Slice tried to swing his sword toward his black clad adversary, Snake Eyes dodges and hit him in different body joints to weaken him while Storm Shadow parried all Dice's attacks and countered them with his own.
After back and forth action with Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, Slice and Dice resort to dirty tactics in order to destroy them.
They performed a vanishing ninja trick after they dropped the smoke pellet, leaving both ninjas literally confused.
Slice and Dice reappeared and attacked Kamakura and Jade before they held Scarlett hostage with Dice placing his blade against her throat.
Four Joe Ninjas were about to retaliate but Slice halted them and threatened that they'll kill Scarlett if they don't drop their weapons.
Knowing that they will, Storm Shadow, Kamakura and Jade took out their ninja stars and swords and dropped on the concrete before the very angry Snake Eyes reluctantly did the same thing.
With the evil smiles on their faces after their enemies disarmed themselves, Slice and Dice decided to kill her anyway until a ninja star hits and stabbed Dice in the arm where he was going to slit her throat.
While Dice was screaming in pain, Slice turned to the direction where the ninja star was thrown and found out that the rest of the Ninja Force has arrived.
Scarlett took advantage of the distraction, attacked and took down both Cobra Ninjas with her martial arts training.
After both ninjas are incapacitated, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Kamakura and Jade picked their weapons up and greeted Dojo, T'Jbang, Nunchuk, T'Gin-Zu, Tiger Claw, Banzai and Bushido.
After their reunion, dozens of Cobra Red Ninjas appeared and surrounded the heroes, making sure they don't escape. Some of them made way for Shadow Strike who led them here to make an entrance.
The fully assembled Ninja Force decided to take the fight somewhere else and then Storm Shadow brought out the smoke pellet and slammed it to the concrete, creating a huge pile of smoke.
The smoke lasted temporary and as the smoke cleared from the air, the Ninja Force was gone.
Bad Dojo from the G.I. Joe Retaliation soundtrack by Henry Jackman plays
Shadow Strike signaled the Cobra Red Ninjas to go after them while Slice and Dice regained consciousness. They glared at Shadow Strike who gave them an intimidating glare before he vanished into thin air.
On the rooftop of the city, the Ninja Force ran and jumped from roof to roof, finding a perfect place to fight off the Cobra Red Ninjas.
Scarlett tripped on the ledge of the building and she was about to take a long fall but Snake Eyes caught her and they finally made it to the building, only to have a rough landing with Snake Eyes landing on his ribs, trying to protect her.
Scarlett showed concerned for her boyfriend but it was cut short when she saw the Cobra Red Ninjas gaining up on them.
She helped him back on his feet and they resumed running until they were stopped by Shadow Strike, who pulled his sword out and begun attacking them.
Storm Shadow turned around and saw Shadow Strike trying to kill Snake Eyes and Scarlett. He told the others that he'll catch up with them after he rescue his friends before he went back to the building where Snake Eyes, Scarlett and Shadow Strike are.
Three of the Cobra Red Ninjas stood in his way but Storm Shadow quickly destroyed them with his sword.
The rest of the Ninja Force saw a huge delivery truck rolling through the other direction and decided to take the fight there.
They jumped from the building all the way down to the truck. They even used the grappling hooks to land on the truck safely while the Cobra Red Ninjas did the same thing, chasing them down but some of them fell to their death because they didn't hold on their grappling hooks.
After they all landed on the truck, both sides resume their battle. Despite the numbers of the Cobra Red Ninjas, that's not going to stop the Ninja Force.
Kamakura took out two red ninjas with the flying knees to their faces and took out the rest with the kata he practiced earlier. One of the red ninjas tried to slice his head off with his sword but Kamakura ducked and backflip kicked the red ninja in the face until he was unconscious.
Kamakura got back up, ran toward three Cobra red ninjas aproaching him and dropkicked them off the top of the truck as they fell to their deaths.
Jade brutalize seven red ninjas in a smoove and seductive way with moves so unorthodontic. After leaving them dazed and mezmorized by her seductive charms, Jade quickly destroyed them with the deadly series of hard, high flying and gravity defying kicks.
One of the red ninjas tried to her in the abdomen but Jade caught the right leg and broke it in two places by twisting it in a severe way, causing the red ninja to scream in pain. She pulled her sword out and sliced his head off of his shoulder, killing the red ninja in the process.
One of the Cobra Red Ninjas uncovered their ninja mask and began vomitting from the mouth when they saw brutally beheaded one of their own. Some of them were scared to the point where they uncontrollably pee'd their pants until the yellow liqiud covered it, leaving them wet.
Dojo laughed at the expense of the red ninjas who wet themselves before he resumed kicking some Cobra Red Ninja ass.
One by one, the Ninja Force has dismembered and defeated the Cobra Red Ninjas until Kamakura, Jade, Dojo, T'Jbang, Nunchuk, T'Gin-Zu, Tiger Claw, Banzai and Bushido kicked the last 9 red ninjas off the truck to their deaths.
The truck stopped and the truck driver stepped out of the truck to investigate the sounds screams and bodies crashing on the streets. He was shocked to see dead bodies of the Cobra Red Ninjas laying everywhere in the streets.
When he looked at the top of the truck, the Ninja Force was already gone and the truck driver stood there puzzling.
Back on the building, Snake Eyes and Scarlett teamed up to turn back the fight against Shadow Strike but Shadow Strike was steps ahead of them both. When they attempted to hit him with punches, kicks and chops, Shadow Strike parried their offence and turned them against them.
After fending off several Cobra Red Ninjas coming his way, Storm Shadow finally came to their aid by successfully dropkicking Shadow Strike on the back of his head while he was distracted.
Furious by Storm Shadow's actions towards him, Shadow Strike pulled out his sword and violently retaliated against the former Cobra Ninja which led to a sword clash.
While Storm Shadow and Shadow Strike fought against each other, Snake Eyes helped Scarlett back on her feet and decided to resume their battle with their new adversary.
Storm Shadow had to be on his guard because Shadow Strike is much more dangerous, violent and deadly than he once was during his days with Cobra.
After parrying each other's attacks back and forth, Shadow Strike got the upper hand on Storm Shadow as he proceeded to finish him off with his sword. But Scarlett and Snake Eyes innervine by stopping him with the series of double team kicks.
Storm Shadow was helped back on his feet by his allies and the three got into their fighting stance, preparing to stand their ground against Cobra's deadliest new ninja. Knowing that he is completely out numbered, Shadow Strike looked down from the ledge of the building and came up with an evil ideas before he charged toward three Joe ninjas.
Snake Eyes stopped him with a roundhouse kick to the face, Storm Shadow followed with palm to the abdomin and Scarlett jumped to perform a somersault kick on the back of his head.
After getting punched, kicked, leg swept and hand palmed by three G.I. Joes, Shadow Strike was hurled at the edge of that ledge and saw the rest of the Ninja Force running and jumping from roof to roof coming back to the same building where they are.
Scarlett went to the ledge and attempted to apprehend Shadow Strike and tie him up but Shadow Strike quickly grabbed her and placed the edge of his sword against her throat, threatening to slit her while holding her hostage.
Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were about to pull their sword out but as Shadow Strike's sword went closer to Scarlett's throat, they reluctantly removed their hands from the handles of the swords while the rest of the Ninja Force stopped in their tracks when they saw Shadow Strike held Scarlett hostage.
Shadow Strike grinned underneath his mask and threw Scarlett from the ledge anyway. She screamed at the top of her lungs as she took a dangerous and deadly fall.
Snake Eyes punched Shadow Strike with full force and then, he and Storm Shadow brought out their grappling hooks and dive from the ledge of the building in order to save her.
Shadow Strike let out a very loud evil laugh while he was on the ground. The rest of the Ninja Force ran to Shadow Strike in order to capture but he pulled out the smoke pellet, slammed it on the ground and vanished in the pile of smoke before his adversaries got to him in time.
When they finally got here, it was too late. Shadow Strike was already gone once the smoke clears.
Three Joes were 20 feet away from death but Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow finally got close to Scarlett, they fired their grappling hooks at the same building where they fell from.
They caught Scarlett while their grappling hooks finally connected to the roof and they quickly stopped falling.
Scarlett let out the sigh of relief as she held tightly to Snake Eyes while the grappling hooks pulled all three of them back up to the building.
After they went back up the ledge, they helped by their Ninja Force teammates and was informed that Shadow Strike was gone. Despite an exhausting battle with Shadow Strike, Slice, Dice and the Cobra Red Ninjas, they were happily reunited.
They put the hands on top of each other's and cheerfully raised them in the sky before deciding to go back to the hotel.
But Snake Eyes and Scarlett stayed behind so they can have a moment to themselves. They took a look at the full moon before they looked at each other.
Snake Eyes uncovered his mouth and they started kissing each other in the lips. Their love for each other is stronger than ever since the days they met and became the original members of the G.I. Joe team.
Cobra may try to break them down and break them apart but they'll always come back to each other. And heaven help them if they try.
Next time on G.I. Joe Trading Faces: Cobra fired the first shot and send a message to both G.I. Joe now led by General Joe Colton and the C.O.I.L. led by Cobra Commander. How will they respond and possibly retaliate?
N/A: Sorry I took so long. I had to come up with ideas to make this chapter interesting and original. And at the same time, making it like the silent issue from the comic book. When you read, please give review with positive mindset because I want to know if you like the chapter or not. Thanks.
