VALOR VS VENOM!
Springfield is where everything started. A small mining community, trapped in unrelenting economic hardship. Within its borders they have had twelve fatal mining accidents over this year alone. These times of depression are hard on the penurious town. The sight of starving children was all that was needed to formulate a need to overthrow the so called new world order. That and a catalyst: a prophet came into town, preaching about world change in colorful words that poor folk never really understood. He spun and wove his dirty spider-web of economic growth and well-fed children, and manipulated the townsfolk into believing in his vision. This man's heart was as black as sin itself, but his ability to appeal to the emotions of the masses was superb; he began to recruit members for his Cobra Army.
As time passed, Cobra gained more power, until through the Patriot act the organization was uncovered. Republican President Jonathan S. Tuttle was alerted to the findings and ordered the FBI to check into it in late December of the year 2008. The new president to be sworn in the next year, Democrat Benjamin Franklin Pierce, didn't need this to deal with as well. The War on Terrorism needed both hands. Receiving vital Intel only days before Pierce would swear into office, reports came back that proved this was no little terror cell. Moving quickly, Tuttle began to prepare a plan that would be able to go on acting after he had left office: he needed to create a secret task force and give them the power to act before it was too late. Finding the service report of a man known as G.I. Joe, he had found the first member of his task force: Tuttle called his old war buddy to find out if he wanted a job.
The next day, Major General Clayton M. Abernathy came to see the president over this pressing matter. He asked if he could gather a team. Of course, he already had his own people in mind for the job some already on the team. Only speaking in code names he let him know who would be on the team: Scarlett, Beaker, SGT. Striker, Gung Ho, Cover Girl and Snake Eyes. Hawk was watching many others, Such as Duke, Ripcord, and Shipwreck. The president gave him the right to gather more troops if needed, but a call made the meeting short. They had moved too late. Cobra agents had made an attack on a crowd within Washington, gathered for the inaugural activities.
That terrible day had brought the deaths of more than three hundred people, the death toll still rising as city rescue efforts found more bodies that were either shot or trampled. The newly-elected President spoke out after the tragedy, promising the American people that the killers would be stopped and brought to swift justice. Both presidents underestimated the power of Cobra.
”Cobra is growing stronger every day. The people within the organization are ready to fight and die for a cause that puts one man in power over the whole world. Americans don’t like that idea. I’m General Hawk, commander of the force called G.I. Joe. I can promise you, like every Marine, Soldier, Airman, and Sailor, we will keep America safe from this threat. My unit will remain like shadows on your wall standing guard with their brothers and sisters in the military. With that said I take my leave. “
The promise was made to both presidents. The attack was quickly blamed on Islamic terrorist groups to allow America to breathe, and rest in the comforting and insular idea that only foreigners might attack the United States. National morale, President Pierce believed, would be higher if no-one could believe that Americans themselves might turn on their own kind. But of course this is exactly what Cobra wants.
He promises a new day and a newer kind of freedom but he’ll never spill the real beans. Madison’s ideas are coming back to haunt the modern world, as Cobra prepares his destiny to be America's Caesar in a new world empire.[/size][/ul]
