Thanks for the reviews. Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!

Synthoid Polly with a small satchel hung around his neck flew over the armory. No one noticed the parrot as he squeezed through the crevice under the door to get into the room the ammunition was kept. Using his beak he opened the satchel and pulled our a small electronic device that he attached to the missile he was perched on. He methodically went around the room placing the device on missiles and bombs until he ran out. He edged his way to the device closest to the door. With his beak he pressed the pinhole on the device which began blinking. All the devices began blinking. Polly slipped under the crevice and flew away.

"This…this is crazy." Cover Girl sputtered.

"But it's true. Ever since I gained consciousness, you're all I could think about." The synthoid Beach Head said. "Even with my orders, I can only think of being with you."

Cover Girl wasn't sure if she should be flattered or creeped out. She was leaning toward the latter.

"Listen, it's very… I mean… I'm… look, this isn't going to work." Cover Girl stammered.

"Why not? I am Beach Head." The synthoid argued.

"I can't believe I'm having this conversation." Cover Girl kept her eye on the synthoid.

"But what are you going to do about it?" The synthoid prompted.

Cover Girl scowled. "I'm going to haul you in, you second-hand ranger."

Beach Head shook his head. "I'd reconsider."

"Why would I do that?" She challenged.

Suddenly, an explosion rocked the base. Cover Girl was knocked off kilter. The synthoid was ready. He rushed her and grabbed the gun, twisting one of Cover Girl's arm behind her. He had his other arm around her throat. "Because your base is about to become Cobra's."

"There's the signal." Major Bludd said looking through his binoculars at the column of smoke coming from the middle of the Pit. "Let's go! Cobra!"

From the flat desert, tanks materialized as they threw off their camouflage coverings. Major Bludd motioned for them to go. The Hiss Tanks began rolling toward the base.

Meanwhile, the Joes were running around trying to contain the fire that was spreading.

"Keep the fire away from the vehicles." Dusty shouted as he jumped into a tank to move it away.

Barbeque was spraying down the flames with a special foam to smother it. "Doing the best I can." He shouted.

Hawk came on the loudspeaker. "Joes, salvage as many planes and tanks as you can. We are under attack."

"When it rains, it pours." Dusty groaned. But he drove the tank out. When he got outside he saw Cobra troops penetrating the gate. "That'll be the day." He muttered as he began attacking the nearest Cobra troops. "Yo Joe!"

Synthoid Polly sat in a tree at the far end of the base by the obstacle course, admiring his handiwork before turning around. But when he did he came face to face with the real thing.

"Awk, knock out my sailor, would you?" Polly squawked before flying at the phony.

The synthoid was caught by surprised. Polly hit the synthoid straight in the chest. The two birds rolled around.

"Take that you phony, baloney!" Polly boxed furiously at the fake. The synthoid fought back. It managed to trip him. Polly fell to the ground. The synthoid slammed his claw around Polly's neck. He raised his other claw for the killing shot. Before the claw could come down, a javelin flew past. A net burst from the tip capturing the upright bird and pinning him to the tree.

Polly got up and saw Lady Jaye with another javelin ready.

"I don't know what's going on but until I do, you're staying put." Jaye said firmly. She then gasped as the captured bird dissolved. The pile of goop slipped through the holes in the net. It then reformed and flew away. Lady Jaye threw her other javelin at it. The synthoid dodged it and disappeared into the distance.

Lady Jaye cursed. She looked at Polly who picked himself off the ground. "You okay?" Polly whistled and hopped onto her outstretched arm.

"Shipwreck is hurt. Awk, he needs help." Polly squawked. The ground shook with another explosion.

"We all do." Lady Jaye said through gritted teeth.

"Funny, I lost contact with base." Ace said to Flint and Beach Head.

" It's Cobra. I know it." Beach Head proclaimed.

"Well, duh." Flint replied.

"Do you want me to smack you so hard your grandkids would feel it?" He retorted.

"No need to smack me when your smell alone could kill a horse." He responded.

"Enough back there! Base is just over…" Ace stopped in mid sentence.

From the back seat Flint and Beach Head could see the Cobra troops marching toward their base, which was on fire.

The men stared in disbelief as Cobra troops broke through the Pit's defenses.

"That's not good." Ace muttered.

"No kidding, Captain Obvious." Beach Head growled.

"I don't think they know we're here." Flint observed. "Ace, land this thing."

"Sure thing, Flint. But what are we going to do?" Ace asked.

"You're letting us off." Flint said.

"What?" Ace cried.

"Beach Head and I will try to infiltrate them from the back. Give us some cover and maybe take out a few of those tanks." Flint ordered.

"That sounds so crazy, it might just work." Beach Head noted.

"Are you giving me a compliment?" Flint asked smugly.

"No, just making an observation." Beach Head replied.

"Yeah, did it hurt?" Flint smirked.

"I'll show you hurt." Beach Head cracked his knuckles.

"Save that for Cobra. We're here." Ace said as the plane touched the ground. The hatch opened. Beach Head and Flint struggled to get out. When they finally extracted themselves from their tight space, they scrambled out of the plane.

"Here, you guys might need these." Ace tossed them a couple of guns.

"Thanks." Flint said gratefully.

"Yeah, yeah, less yaking, more attacking." Beach Head snarled as he started toward the unsuspecting enemy.

Flint shrugged and followed him.

"Be careful." Ace said softly before closing the hatch and taking off.
