Chapter 5:

When the Sigma 6 ninjas arrived where the scream had originated, they were astonished by the view; as were the cobra ninjas, who shared the same look.

"Snake Eyes…you dared again to come back to the Arashikage," said Storm Shadow with a fire burning in his words.

"Wait a minute, you're Black Flame and that's Black Cat. Th-the mur-rder couple…" Kamakura retreated backward with his eyes wide and full of fear.

Ian's eyes widened and he stared at Snake Eyes who returned the stare.

"Father…what on the earth is happening here?" said Black Flame with sadness in his words.

"Father?" Jinx and Kamakura were astounded.

Storm Shadow looked at Ian and then looked at Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes shook his head, not believing what he had heard or that his nephew was with Cobra. That's why Black Flame and Black Cat were familiar to him.

Snake Eyes signed, 'Hello, my nephew. It's me, your uncle.'

Black Flame couldn't believe his eyes; tears ran down his face and he hugged Snake Eyes tight. When Storm Shadow saw his son hugging Snake Eyes, he attacked Kamakura and grasped him by the neck; then he said, "leave my kid alone or you will see yours dead!"

"Father, why?" asked Ian, breaking his long bear hug.

"Shut up, Ian you don't know anything," answered Storm Shadow.

"Know what? That you want to kill my uncle, your brother? I've had enough of this! Leave him alone!" replied Ian angrily

"I'm warning you Ian; you're stepping on the wrong way, get out of my way so I won't hurt you," said Storm Shadow, aiming his sword towards Black Flame.

Ian looked surprised, and then he took a long breath and said, "You're not my father; you're not the Storm Shadow I knew him to be."

"Of course I am your father. Who else would be caring for you?" replied Storm Shadow sadly.

"NO…you're not my father. My real father would tell me to protect my family, but you… you want to kill my family and I shall never let you do it!" yelled Ian as he unsheathed his katana, aiming it at his father's heart.

Snake Eyes grasped Ian's katana and threw it to the ground. He then tried to take Storm Shadow's sword but failed. Jinx started crying; her only family was destroying itself. Snake Eyes hugged Jinx to calm her down. Still Storm Shadow and Black Flame glaring daggers at each other. Suddenly, a flashback came to Ian; he remembered that his father was brainwashed by Cobra. He had found out accidentally, when he had heard Cobra Commander speaking with mad doctors about brainwashing Ian and Raven, and how they had succeeded in making Storm Shadow hate Snake Eyes.

Ian smirked evilly and then smiled. "Yes, you're right. I won't get in your way again, but Dad... I must tell you that you were brainwashed by Cobra. He played with you, Father; with your feelings and honor."

Storm Shadow pouted and let go of Kamakura's neck. He started walking to his brother and his son. "If that is right, I will kill him; but if you are lying, I will kill you."

Ian smiled happily and hugged his father. "I promise you that I will make that stupid man pay for every pain you endured by his life, even if it's the last thing I do. Then he turned to the sleeping cat kissing her forehead and grasping her hand "I will be with you, my love"

"I-Ian…is that you" said raven trying to get back her concentration, then she hugged Ian but when she looked at the site she didn't believed what is happening.
