Wade renounces Cobra after having a talk with Snake-Eyes and Stalker, taking his new family with him. The Soft Master sacrifices his life after escaping from Springfield when he deflects one of Scrap-Iron's missiles launched at a crashed car containing Candy, a drunk driver, and Billy (crashed at a train signal), but he launches another one after given the sign by Firefly to eliminate any possible witnesses, thereby killing the three in the car.
Publisher’s description
Stalker and Snake-Eyes run into their old friend, Wade Collins, who was in their unit in Vietnam. He's now a Crimson Guard, and he's got the two at gunpoint. Meanwhile, the Soft Master crosses paths with Billy Kessler near Springfield.
