Stories

  • Shadow of The B.A.T. · 22 pages

    Cobra agent Knox creates a new B.A.T. android designed to be the ultimate killer. He decides to test it on Scarlett, to see if it is feasible enough to sell to Cobra Commander, after spotting her walking on the street. The B.A.T. almost defeats Scarlett, but she gains the upper hand when it sees a civilian named Brenda and mistakes her for Scarlett. While Brenda was at a construction site to visit her husband working there, Scarlett defeats the B.A.T just as it targets Brenda for termination. Brenda is ungrateful for her rescue by Scarlett, and Scarlett leaves with the destroyed android's head for the Joes to later study, as she ponders some alone time for her and Snake-Eyes.
