VALOR VS VENOM

Written by Allen Faircloth

"There is such beauty in destruction, wouldn't you agree Destro?", Cobra Commander's voice slithered from under his translucent mask.
"Your dream of an invincible army is almost a reality", replied Destro.
"What is my dream will soon be GI Joe's nightmare. Dr Mindbender! Where are my Venom Troopers?"

Just then a man in a long white coat and wire rimmed glasses entered the room. His look was unmistakably professional, but his approach was menacing. "Guards, ready the subject and initialize the BioBlender" snapped the Doctor. With a flip of a switch, the laboratory computers came to life and started the boot process. In a matter of seconds, the system was up. "Cobra Commander, the system is ready to commence the venomization process". The lab doors opened to expose a helpless young man strapped to a stainless table.

Cobra Commander approached the BioBlender's launch switch. He threw the switch and a massive cloud of green toxic gas came over the restrained man. With another flip of the switch a large volt of electricity consumed the helpless victim. As the gas settled, something different laid upon the table. Where once a frightened man had been, now laid a scaled, slobbering man-beast. As Destro approach the table, he saw the words "AFRICAN CROCODILE" on the empty specimen container. "You see Destro, by combining the DNA of the world's most ferocious animals with that of a normal man, we can create an unstoppable army of Venom Troopers. The Joes will be powerless to stop us. World domination will be mine!"

"Yes Cobra Commander, but it will take years to venomize enough Troopers to combat GI Joe. The process is limited to a small number of subjects to be venomized at once. Given the right resources and funding, I'm confident my company can construct a mass delivery mechanism inside of 3 years".

"3 years!! I'm not waiting 3 months! I want to control the world NOW!!!" Cobra Commander barked.

Just then a transmission came across Cobra's VIPERnet communications center. Cobra Commander snatched the communiqué and began to read. Soon, a soft hissing laugh could be heard. "Its seems the Joe's have given us exactly the delivery mechanism we need. Our spies have uncovered a remote GI Joe installation that houses their new Electro Magnetic Pulse Emitter. They plan to use it for cloud seeding to help promote precipitation in desert climates. This device could give Cobra the reach it needs to deliver our venomization process to the world".

"With only a small number of Joes guarding the facility, the device is ours for the taking". Cobra Commander turned and barked an order: "Destro, take our current supply of Venom Troopers to secure the emitter. Do not fail me. Your health and Cobra's goal of world domination hang in the balance".

Meanwhile, back at the GIJoe Theatre Operations Center…

"General Hawk, the work on the Pulse Emitter is 98% complete and will be ready for inspection soon. Do you have an ETA on the arrival of the NATO inspection team?".

"The team is returning from the middle east so it may take some time to re-supply and deploy. I wouldn't worry too much about it Duke. You've never failed an inspection before so I'm sure this one won't be any different" exclaimed General Hawk. The work you and Joes have done could change the world. By promoting rain and other precipitation to impoverished areas of the world, the Pulse Emitter can facilitate crop, thus enabling these areas to become more self-sufficient. The direct benefits are huge".

"Yes General. Transforming a 'war machine' into a piece of farm equipment is monumental to say the least. The modifications we've made to what was once the V3 Super Gun now has multiple applications" replied Duke. "To that end, I've requested more Joe security just in case Cobra decides to pay us a visit. We don't want this baby falling into the wrong hands".

"I'm glad you brought that up Duke. Our intelligence suggest that we may have a spy in the ranks. We're not sure how deep the informant is or what information they have access to, but the Electro Magnetic Pulse Emitter should be kept on a need to know basis. With this device, Cobra could reign terror on any major city of the world. We must keep it guarded at all times and I would suggest putting your best team on it" ordered General Hawk.

"Roger that, sir" replied Duke.
