Cobra Stops The World (NOT!)
To Raliena: Hey there, Rae! Oh yeah, Deep Six is so much proof that spending all your time alone can cause some form of brain damage. I guess he would be a little eccentric. Anyway, enjoy the new chapter!
To Sparky Genocide: Hey there Sparky! I like your idea, but here's the thing: Why would Leatherneck and Wet Suit want to beat up Jester? What'd he do to them? And Jester's in Malibu right now. He can't prank the Pit Joes from cross-country. I'll use it when the Malibu Joes and Pit Joes team up again. Enjoy the new chapter!
To Red Witch: Hey there, Red! Yeah, I figured that since Althea's mutation already allows her to breathe underwater, it should allow her to easily handle heat, cold, and pressure, since in the ocean, those conditions can get quite extreme. Don't worry, Althea will be back with Todd. Oh and Red, did you know that I actually put in a couple lines from the original episode? Enjoy the new chapter!
To todd fan: Hey there, todd fan! I read the new chapter of "Slugs and Snails" and I loved it! Everyone should know to run away whenever a Joe is behind the wheel of any form of vehicle. Enjoy the new chapter!
To Aaron: Hey there, Aaron! I'm glad you liked the Joe banter. I could imagine the reason why Deep Six likes to be alone is that he has a fear of crowds. It's got its own phobia name, but I don't know what it is. I'm basing the story on an old Joe cartoon episode. I knew about the new Joe comics. I thought you were talking about a new Joe cartoon. Did you know Dreamwave, the studio that produces the new G.I. Joe comics, is going bankrupt? I'll see if I can get me some TPBs. Enjoy the new chapter!
To Firefly25: Hey there, Firefly! Yeah, Wet Suit and practically any Joe can be a good comedy team. I think Deep Six and Wolverine should have a Glare-of-Death-off. It'd so rock. Oh yeah, Althea reaching the Age of Consent is dreaded in the Pit. She'll jump on anything that's green and toad-like! Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 5: That Sinking Feeling!
In the Pacific Ocean
"Yipe!" Althea exclaimed as she and Wet Suit dodged the torpedo. "Man, that was close!"
"Let's make sure they don't get the chance to play that card again!" Wet Suit aimed the harpoon gun in the opposite direction the torpedo was fired at them. "This explosive harpoon should take care of that!" The SEAL fired the harpoon gun. The explosive-tipped harpoon sailed through the water, going into the torpedo tube the torpedo left out of. The harpoon hit a torpedo in the tube, causing it to explode. The explosion triggered a chain reaction. Explosions rocked the Cobra base, causing panic. Explosions could be seen, rocking the base and causing it to sink.
"Wow!" Althea whooped as she saw Cobra agents and frogmen flee the base. "Now that is how you take it to those snakes!"
"Let's surface." Wet Suit ordered. The SEAL and Misfit leader swam up to the surface. When they reached the surface, they saw Deep-Six on board the SHARC waiting for them. The deep-sea diver waved. "Alright! Our ride's here." Althea and Wet Suit swam towards the SHARC, and Deep Six pulled them on board.
"About time." Deep Six said flatly.
"Nice to meet you too, Deep Six." Althea chuckled. Suddenly, a Cobra Eel, a diver, rode up on a jetski, hefting some kind of sonic cannon.
"Hey Joes! Eat this!" The Eel fired the cannon. The cannon released sonic waves. The intense noise caused the Joes and Althea to fall to their knees, clutching their ears and screaming. The noise seemed to really anger Deep Six.
"I…like…my…ocean…QUIET!" Deep Six snarled angrily. The deep sea diver jumped onto the jetski and punched the Eel hard in the face, breaking the Eel's visor. Deep Six then grabbed the sonic cannon and used it like a baseball bat on the Eel's head. The unconscious Eel tumbled into the water, and then the deep sea diver broke the gun over his knee.
"Wow. Remind me to never tick Deep Six off." Wet Suit blinked. Althea nodded in agreement. Deep Six noticed something.
"Hey look!" Deep Six pointed at the base. Some of the base was still above the water. There was a big hole in the side. "Maybe we should investigate. We could find some clues on how we can find those missing tankers and stop Cobra."
"Alright, but let's be careful." Wet Suit agreed. "That base may sink completely at any moment." The two Joes and their mutant teenage partner drove toward the base, Wet Suit and Althea in the SHARC, and Deep Six on the Eel's jetski.
Over a rainforest, sometime later
An F-14 Tomcat, decorated with the markings of GI Joe, streaked through the skies over a rainforest. Inside the jet plane was Duke, the GI Joe team's first sergeant, and Ace, the Joes' greatest pilot.
"Well, Ace…no sign of Cobra." Duke said as he looked out the cockpit.
"Well, if Cobra wanted riches or energy, this is the place. According to Trinity's scans, this place is rich in diamonds and oil." Ace took a quick look around. "You know, the rainforest really does look beautiful from this high."
"Yeah." Duke agreed. "That reminds me, I owe Scarlett a date. Last time, I had to take a raincheck because of an incident involving Avalanche, Darkstar, and a music critic."
"I remember. The guy claimed one of the Superstars' songs was a call for mutant warfare. I listened to that song. The most violent lyric on it was 'We're not gonna take it'." Ace rolled his eyes. A beeping was heard from his control panel. "We got a transmission from Wet Suit."
"Go ahead." Duke replied.
"Duke, Wavedancer, Deep Six and I searched the base. Nada. We couldn't find anything useful, except a recipe for seaweed and chocolate chip biscuits. As for this base…it would make one nifty aquarium." Wet Suit said. Duke sighed.
"Alright, head back to base. We'll finish up here if we don't find anything." Duke nodded. Wet Suit replied with a nod of his own.
"Aye aye, sir. Wet Suit out." Duke's screen went blank. Suddenly, Ace's radar was going crazy.
"Duke! Rattlers!" Ace roared.
Well, well, well! Looks like the Joes have a dead end on their hands! What madness will happen next? Will Duke and Ace make it through the Rattler attack? What're the other Joes up to? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
