Synapse: Jane was part of a covert op known as the Demon Unit, but Cobra killed all of the members except her. Soon after the Joe's were cleared her Uncle started up the elite force and now she's a part of it all. Now Jane is brought into a world where people can come back from the dead.

The Demon Rose

G. I. Joe: Renegades

Chapter 17

Snake Eyes watched the monitors closely with Breaker. They were still trying to figure out who had broken into the Pit and then Jane's room. Someone had intended the message for Jane, not Snake Eyes. He paused the security camera recording and pointed at the figure entering Jane's room. It was a woman, two inches shorter than Jane. She was slender and covered from head to toe in grey. A pair of eyes looked up at the security camera and Breaker quickly paused it.

"Those look like—"

Snake Eyes nodded his head. It was Jana Ling, aka Amethyst, who had broken into the Pit, destroyed Jane's room and left the message. But why?

"I've got to tell Jane."

Snake Eyes grabbed Breaker's wrist and shook his head. Jane was on a vacation. The news Breaker had already told her was enough to send her over the edge but this would send her further down.

"If I don't tell Jane should I tell everyone else?"

Snake Eyes nodded his head.

Duke sat staring at the picture on the view screen. "so you're telling me that the person who broke into here to destroy Jane's room then leave her a message was someone from her old team?"

"Sadly yes," Breaker whispered. "I don't like it. Cobra is using all of Jane's crew against her."

"How do we know this is Cobra?" Scarlett questioned.

"It's the only logical choice." Breaker responded.

"No, it's not." Scarlett stood up and pointed at the screen. "Amethyst would never dress like a Ninja, even if Cobra threatened her within an inch of her life."

"Why not?" Ripcord asked.

Scarlett sighed. "She's a kung-fu master."

Everyone in the room remained silent. Someone even dropped a pencil on the ground.

"You're kidding right?" Tunnel Rat asked.

"No, and what's worse is she knows every form. Her father trained her, as did her mother. She's the only one on that team who could take Jane down." Scarlett walked up to the screen and looked closer. "She's also able to kill a person in seven hits."

"WHAT?" All the men exclaimed.

Snake Eyes nodded his head.

"We're screwed then." Tunnel Rat stated blatantly.

Scarlett shrugged. "Not unless we find out what is driving her to fight against us."

Snake Eyes tried to think of a reason Amethyst would wear a ninja outfit like that. He had tried to convince her to wear one when she was training under him with Jane, but she had refused. Then he noticed something else, on her outfit was the Arashikage symbol. He pointed it out to Scarlett and they both looked at each other.

"That cannot be good. Why would she work for them?" Scarlett asked.

'Not the Arashikage, Storm Shadow.' He signed.

"Storm Shadow, but that doesn't make any sense!" Scarlett exclaimed.

"I don't care who Amethyst is working for, I want Jane pulled back to the Pit now." Duke ordered.

Just then the General walked in. Everyone stood at attention. "At ease everyone." The General sat down then spoke up saying: "Jane can take care of herself, plus she's with Lt. Faireborn. She'll be fine. However, I do have something I want you to do for me."

"What is it sir?" They asked.

"My other niece, Sarah Rose has requested that she be kept here. She's in New York with her kid and they need someone to get them and bring them here." The General didn't blink once when he said that.

"You have two nieces?" Ripcord asked. Everyone rolled their eyes.

"Yes, two. Sarah works for the Air Force under the intelligence division. She's a civilian and has the civilian equivalent ranking of a captain."

"Where do we get her?"

"She's actually waiting at the airport in San Francisco. Seems someone told Jane about Cobra's dealings and Jane told her." He looked at Breaker who just sat there trying to look as innocent as possible.

"All right, let's go Joe's." Duke ordered.
