As Flint, Mutt, and Roadblock use a downed Skystriker's engines to keep the creeper vines away, Duke and Snake-Eyes are forced to fight in the Arena of Sport. Snake-Eyes manages to send the Joes a brief message about Cobra's plans to attack Washington with the Weather Dominator, and the Joes set up energy mirrors to defend the city.
Flint and Mutt escape the Pit of Chaos using a gyrocopter cobbled together from jet parts, but Roadblock is left behind. The two Joes make their way to a Cobra-run town and befriend the mercenary Shipwreck. Meanwhile, the Joe Team successfully defends the capital until the Weather Dom overloads and launches into orbit, coming down in three pieces and leaving the world's weather in chaos. Shipwreck sets out into the desert with Flint and Mutt to return them to Headquarters, but they are overcome by a sandstorm.
