Synopsis for "Elektra - The Mongoose Gambit"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Bizarre Adventures #28

The ninja assassin Elektra sneaks aboard a fishing trawler and kills the radio operator as he attempts to send out an SOS. After planting a bomb, she struggles with another crewman and they both fall overboard as the boat explodes. Elektra breaks the surface of the water and grabs onto a floating piece of wreckage — on the other end is the crewman she fought on deck, his gun pointed at her head. They enter into an uneasy truce, realizing that they will need to work together if there is any chance to reach land, many miles away. As they paddle, he claims that his holy mission will continue on even without his ship and that Von Eisenbluth will suffer for his crimes. When Elektra asks why he would want to kill a simple spice merchant, her reluctant companion insists that Von Eisenbluth is a Nazi and the murderer of thousands, including his parents and sister.

Two days later, Von Eisenbluth’s island appears on the horizon. The crewman shoots Elektra in the head and she sinks into the ocean but revives and makes it to shore. There she encounters a pair of body builders and steals their dune buggy. After killing two guard dogs with her sai, Elektra slips into Von Eisenbluth's compound. She comes across the crewman standing before Von Eisenbluth, who is in a wheelchair. The crewman shoots Von Eisenbluth in both knees but it has no effect, Von Eisenbluth mumbles that his legs have had no feelings for years and that heart medications have scrambled his brain. The crewman pauses and Von Eisenbluth, who has been lying about his mental disabilities, kills his would-be assassin with a concealed handgun.

Elektra makes her presence known and Von Eisenbluth smiles. He apologizes for killing the target he paid her to assassinate, adding that it’s been far too long since he shot a Jew. Elektra turns to walk away but suddenly spins and impales Von Eisenbluth to his wheelchair with a thrown sai to the heart.
