Destro regains control of his shuttle and returns to Cobra's temple, placing Scarlett in the dungeon with Selena. Informed of the failed attack on New York, Destro usurps command of Cobra but is unable to bully the captured world leaders into surrendering. His own attempt to destroy New York is blocked by the Joes' now-functional M.A.S.S. Device, and Scarlett and Selena lead a slave revolt that is quickly put down.
As Destro threatens to begin executions, Doc helps Duke recover his memory and recalls that he gave Selena a ring containing a homing device. The Joes immediately use their M.A.S.S. Device to beam troops and equipment to the mountain beneath Cobra's temple. Scaling the mountain, they raid the fortress, free the slaves, destroy Cobra's M.A.S.S. Device, and round up Cobra's leaders - minus Destro, who escapes unnoticed. Breaker uses the last of the M.A.S.S. elements to return the stolen Eiffel Tower, but mistakenly transports it to London.

- The blue Cobra three-wheeler tossed by Ramar is very similar to concept art dated 4/29/83 for an unreleased Ballistic Attack Trike (B.A.T.).
