A Story by Abishai100

A wily 'GI Joe' ninja named Storm-Shadow is on a snow-mountain adventure involving diamonds...and Biblical detention.

A patriotism-comics toast to the uncanny ninja-infiltrating Storm-Shadow (GI Joe), a 'special man' of colors!

Storm-Shadow meditated in the snowy mountains of the East, thinking about guerrilla-warfare, Shaivism, ninja-philosophy, and democracy wranglers in the new era. He wanted to infiltrate a deadly blood-diamond baron using gems for terrorism-financing and building a fortress in the snow, a man named Dr. No.

STORM-SHADOW: This 'Dr. No' has a special blue-sapphire called the Vanderbilt which he keeps in his lair; I must steal it!

Storm-Shadow entered the lair of Dr. No and wielded a special toy water-gun and filled it with hot-acid and performed special magic-tricks and theatrical play with burning acid in the white crystalline snow for Dr. No, who was so distracted and drunk, while the ninja-thief stole the Vanderbilt from his pocket!

However, Storm-Shadow's mission was not yet over, as he now had to meditate more in the snowy mountains and think about the quality of capitalism-defense and its relation to blood-diamond terrorists who threatened modern imagination! He ruminated on finding beauty and romance in the mountains and why diamond-infiltration had become so damn convoluted to modern man.

Storm-Shadow met a gorgeous young redhead Irish girl named Fiona who's an ex-IRA operative's estranged/displaced daughter visiting the snow mountains of the East and staying in a lyrical cabin to write poetry about the troubles in Northern Ireland. Storm-Shadow befriended this lovely creature and told her of his mountain meditations on guerilla-warfare, capitalism-defense, and blood-diamonds. The two became fast-friends, and he taught her how to cook Chinese noodles with prawns. Fiona realized this strange and unusual 'American ninja' was a real deep thinker and thief-expert. She decided to go on mountain-treks with him in the snow.

Fiona/Storm-Shadow encountered the 'dreaded manslayer' described in the Book of Daniel in those snowy mountains during their magical trek. This beast-like bloody 'man' was thinking only of bloody murder! Storm-Shadow/Fiona realized they'd have to cook up something extraordinaire to escape his vile clutches. So, the two fast-friends decided to start doing somersaults around him, which confused the big beast and made him think the duo was performing some kind of opposing sarcasm, infuriating him and causing him to laugh...and lose balance...and he fell off the snowy cliffs...to his sad end.

Storm-Shadow pledged his honorable eulogy to this dreaded manslayer and expressed the notion that weapons-of-war may belie an imagination investment in the willful engagement with creatures (and man-creatures!) of great environmental design.

FIONA: I shan't ever forget you, Storm-Shadow!

STORM-SHADOW: When I return to America and meet my future wife, I'll tell her about you, sweetie.

Storm-Shadow married a gorgeous American woman/actress named Kateland and settled down in Haddonfield (NJ) in North America and began selling baseball-cards. His most valuable American baseball-card was that of Kansas City Royals third-baseman George Brett.
