Snake Eyes had a nice string of mental swears going on in his head as he was forced to wait the paralysis out.
Normally he had some counters to paralysis charms in addition to his slight resistance to them, but the one Storm Shadow had hit him with had been doubled. Speaking of the other ninja, he was long gone, along with his spoils from this raid.
More swears were added to that mental string, especially as this now meant that Cobra had a powerful relic called the Midas Ring in its possession. Whoever wore it had the Midas Touch, or in other words, turned whatever they touched into pure gold. The effect was only active when the ring was being worn and it didn't affect the wearer themselves, only the things they touched.
What this meant was that now Cobra Commander had a new source of revenue for his organization, something they'd been trying to keep him from getting.
The only comfort Snake Eyes really had at the moment was that there was no one around to see his failure.
Of course that comfort was quickly broken with the arrival of Jinx and Kamakura, which added yet more swears to the now considerably lengthy chain he had going in his mind.
