He later was guarding Zartan and used his fireflies to attack Roadblock who tried to kill Zartan. They engaged in hand-to-hand combat and Firefly savagely beat up Roadblock as he mocked him about the dead Joes. He prepared to execute him however he was forced to flee as the other Joes showed up.

At the summit Firefly was ordered to guard the launch device as the Joes attacked them. Firefly speeded away but was chased by Roadblock. The two ended up fighting at close quarters using their guns and bare hands trying to take each other out. Firefly got knocked down. Attempting to send his fireflies at Roadblock he noticed his device was missing. Roadblock put up the device and then blew him up with his own fireflies.
