Love at First Plunder
Tale Spin fan fiction
That one day when Baloo and Kit had finished delivering their cargo in Thembria, an unexpected announcement was heard on the radio.
"Come in, Kaa san, It is I, Don Karnage, and I am bringing you goody good type weapons for your most glorious war."
"Karny !" said Baloo, but before Baloo picked up the receiver, Kaa answered hissing. "We are mo…ssssss..t honored by you coming to Mynea, Karnage, you have our permission to land."
"Gracias, Senior ."
Yet, neither Don Karnage or Kaa are aware that the imperial Tapanese air force and the (TGB) Thembria's secret service are listening in on them, but them again, so is Baloo.
"Baloo, we can't let Karnage deliver those weapons. We got to stop him!" Kit said.
"O.K, Little Britches, see if you can find Mynea on the map."
Meanwhile Don Karnage was telling his air pirates about what they are going to get for their stolen goods. There are spices, tea, silks, and expensive dishes, all for weapons we have stolen ."
"Are you sure your pen pal was telling the truth ?" Mad Dog asked.
""Ya, he sounds crazy ." Dump truck answered.
"Don't say that word, crazy. I know I hate it when you say it to me. He is not loco, just diferente, and he is a thief and a pilot like us." He corrected him
"I thought you said he was an air ninja?" Mad Dog replied.
"Air ninjas are thieving types, estupido." scolded Karnage.
"Did guy says he is a Pursuing Terror." Dump truck said.
"I know what he calls himself. He always signs his name on the letters ." Karnage said.
"Hey, isn't that the freaky kid, Uncle Garbajo told you not to write anymore !"
"How dare you mention that horrible type man. Do not mention him ever again !" Karnage said angrily.
In an old abandoned field waiting for Don Karnage to arrive, Kaa was found talking to a sky ninja. "I heard this fellow is tall, dark and handsome." The ninja purred. "I could use a man like that in my organization." Just then, the air ninja released her claws from her left paw.
"I am not paying you to socialized Shadowy Wrath, the job must be done as soon as possible." Kaa ordered.
"Do not worry, Captain Kaa, we will complete the job before night fall."
"Uncle, the plane you have been waiting for has arrived." Kaa's niece who is a petite young panda about in her late 20's or 30's told him.
"Thank you, Sing Lee."
When Karnage and his men arrived, they were greeted by unexpected surprise. There stood in front of them, a very tall, large necked lizard like man draped with Chinese robes, pillbox hat, and unusually metal hands as though he was some sort of cross between a robotic entity and a miniature brontosaurus. He was standing next two large equally impressive Komodo dragons. They were holding giant elaborate red flags with red Chinese dragons on them.
"DDD ….Dragons ? !" Mad dog shivered holding on to Dump truck for protection.
" Of course, this is supposed to be Mynea." Karnage assured, "Mynea is called the Middle Empire of the Red Drag gone." Karnage bowed respectfully to Kaa and his dragon guards.
Kaa greeted Karnage. "I am honored to meet you, Karnage. I see …eee you kept your part of the bargain, now, I shall keep mine."
"Corporal, the valuables !"
A large Komodo dragon summoned the soldiers waiting for soldiers bring out loads of china, tea, spices and silk.
"Excellamundo, Dump truck, Mad Dog, get these goody type goods, and do not drop any."
"Karnage, it would give me great honor if you join me for dinner with my niece." Kaa asked, but he doesn't know that the Shadowy Wrath was listening from behind a building.
"Bring Don Karnage to me. I have use for a thief like that !" She ordered her band of air ninjas.
"I accept your invitation." Karnage answered. "Continue loading the valuables !" He ordered his men. Mad dog whispered into Dumptruck's ear.
"While the captain is eating, we will sell this stuff and then he will be so pleased."
Meanwhile, Baloo and Kit are flying around in search for Karnage.
"Baloo, we are almost there." Kit said, "But I still don't think we should have bought this map in Thembria."
"Okay, it's got a few holes in it." Baloo answered.
" A lot of holes in it is more like it." Kit answered back. Just then, over the radio, "Surrender, you Cape Suzette swines or die !
"Huh ?" Baloo wondered.
"Attack ! " Out of the clouds comes one of the squadrons of the imperial Tapanese air force.
"If it's a dogfight, you boys want, it's a dogfight you got !" Baloo answered back. "Ratttaaaa!" Baloo turned the sea duck to avoid being hit. Baloo kept turning, looping, barrel rolling, steering to keep from being hit.
"It seems that they have sent their best pilot." The Squadron said to his pilots. "Do not let him get away !" "Ratata !" "Crash!" The window breaks in front of Baloo. "Baloo, are you hurt? Kit asked worried.
" Not a chance." said Baloo. Baloo found a place to land the sea duck that will help them get away. "It's time for a little hide n' sneak. " Baloo laughed. Baloo landed the sea duck in a cave.
It is not long before the sea duck is in the sky again. Karnage's pirates passed the sea duck unnoticed.
"How are we going to find Karnage. "Kit asked.
"Simple, I will just call Karnage to find out where he is." Baloo replied.
"Well, I do not see why Karnage doesn't steal the stuff he was going to get for those weapons. Maybe we should ask him about that, too. "Kit suggested.
"Good idea ."
Meanwhile, Karnage is having dinner with Kaa and his niece, Sing Lee.
"Would Don Karnage like to try a fortune cookie?" Sing Lee asked.
"Gracias. It is a cookie that has a paper fortune or a wise saying written on it, Yes, No ?" Karnage questioned.
"That is why we called the cookie; a fortune cookie." smiled Sing Lee.
"I wondering what my fortune will be like." Karnage said eagerly.
"So do I" Sing Lee said. Sing Lee's fortune cookie said, "Beware of the Shadowy Wrath." Sing Lee appeared to be startled. "What does your fortune cookie say?" Sing Lee asked.
Karnage appeared to be confused. "The pleasures of gold and silver are few compared to the rewards of the hearth." Karnage read. "What is this hearth?" Karnage thought to himself. "Never mind, I will get another one. He opened it and read it loudly. "Go home and be a family man ? ! Un minuto, what is this paper doing in here?
"Did you enjoy your dinner, Karnage sssan" Kaa hissed.
"SI, it was good. " Karnage bowed respectfully with his hands together.
"Yes, you like reading fortune from fortune cookies. I prefer reading Western and Chinese philosophy. Allow me to quote you some, when one is searching for knowledge, one must have an understanding of it to gain anything from it, I am right ?"
"Si, I suppose so."
"My uncle also practices hypnosis magic . " Sing Lee added.
"Don't be silly, Sing Lee. I only practice the science and theories of hypnosis, not that superstitious magical nonsense. I heard you were looking maps, Karnage. There is a museum in the area where there are all sort of different ancient maps dated several years along with some current versions. Hopefully, it is still around. Ahh…what does old saying go, "A wise man once said the best way to hide your special knowledge is not to hide it in a hidden place or stored it, but to put it in clear sight. For the fool will not notice it, but only a true follower will find it. "
"Uncle has also forgotten to tell you he enjoys reading fairytales and traditional folktales. He likes to tell them, too." Sing Lee reminded.
"Some fairytales are worth reading especially the ones about Mynea while some real stories aren't. I am afraid even some of the latest news can be so dreadfully horrible. It sounds more like cheap gossip."
" Yes, there are rumors that you traveling around in outskirts of Mynea looking for hidden treasures in lost cities?" Sing Lee giggled. "I don't know why when the interior is where the birthplace of Ancient Eastern knowledge."
"I have ."
" There are only rumors, but if they weren't, Mynea would know because Mynea knows everything." Kaa assured.
"Silly fly boy, you are an air pirate, not a philosopher. Why would you want insights to all things, when there is love?" Sing Lee snickered.
" Si, foolish ism is the most profit type. Karnage smiled while he moved his eyes scoundrelly.
A servant whispered into Kaa's ear.
"I am afraid, I must go now, duty calls. I have business with these fly boys ." Kaa smiled. He motioned to the vultures wearing bomber jackets with Eurasia symbols. They look more like Beetles wannabes than fighter pilots. One of them has his name printed on his jacket. It said Dizzy
"Perhaps sometime I could give you a tour of the city." Kaa remarked.
"Oh please, Uncle, may I give Don Karnage the tour myself." Sing Lee begged while she held her hands behind her back eagerly.
"Very well, I think no harm will come of it." Kaa replied.
" Come along, Don Karnage, Mynea awaits." Sing Lee shouted delighted.
One of the vultures with long mopped over his beak called Dizzy leaned close to them and whispered to them a quote from an old Beetle song. " All you need is love. That's all you ever need."
Before, Karnage leaves, Baloo's voice came on the radio.
" Hey Karnagy, heard you were getting stuff for weapons, why didn't you just steal the stuff instead of going through all that trouble? Baloo asked.
"Because I have no idea where to steal it from. " Karnage replied angrily.
"So where are ya? Baloo wondered.
"Somewhere you are not." Karnage said annoyed.
After noticing that his pirates have left him, Karnage told Baloo to meet him at the dock. "Some pirates must be told more than once." Karnage said to Sing Lee.
"Karnage ?" "Where is the dock?" Baloo asked.
"First, tell me where you are flying ." Karnage said very annoyed.
"Tell him we are south of the city of Wang." Kit told Baloo
"We're south of Wang" repeated Baloo.
"Enter the city and there will be the dock." Karnage said furious.
"Okay Dokey, Karny." Baloo said.
"It is Captan if you please. "Karnage growled. "They make me so angry." Karnage told Sing Lee
"We must not your pirates ruin your day." Sing Lee said.
Both Karnage and Sing Lee leave the house, it does not take long for Karnage and Sing Lee to reach the city of Wang. The marketplace was bursting with activities. All of a sudden, a Taipanse plane went by firing at the people.
"Duck." Karnage shouted at Sing Lee.
"Duck, Karnage !" Sing Lee answered as she pulled down Karnage down. "RATATA!" Rtata!" The plane left as sudden as it came. Sing Lee and Don Karnage come out of hiding .
"Let us take a ride on a jinrikisha (a two - wheeled passenger vehicle)."
"A what or where ? !" Karnage wondered.
" One of those .." Sing Lee replied as she lead Karnage to a man with a jiniriksha. They both take a ride on a jinrikisha through the marketplace. As Karnage and Sing Lee are riding#, some shoppers and vendors noticed them.
"Is that no Sing Lee."
" Yes, it is."
"Who is that man?"
"He appears to be a foreigner"
"Why he is so handsome!"
"What a lucky girl Sing Lee is ? "
"I see Sing Lee has another suitor."
Sometime ago, the sea duck has landed and our heroes are waiting for Don Karnage to arrive.
"I wonder where Karny is? He said to meet him here." Baloo said.
"Baloo, He tricked us !" Kit exclaimed.
At the same time while Baloo and Kit are waiting for Karnage. Something is going on the others side of the dock. People are running as it their lives depended on it. Women with children run for shelter, and people are hiding under fruits stands. Out of nowhere, the air ninjas appeared stealing, and causing trouble for the vendors. One ninja grabbed a vendor by the neck and demanded his valuables.
"Please do not hurt me, take whatever you want!" The Vendor pleaded.
At that very moment, Sing Lee and Karnage arrived and stopped nearby.
"Come along, Karnage, we are going on a rowboat."
One of the ninjas noticed them while he was stealing and goes up to the ninja that grabbed one of the vendors.
"That is the man the our boss wants us to bring to her, Pursuing Terror." A ninja said.
"So our boss wants to meet my pen pal, Don Karnage, does she? All she had to do was ask. Let us finish up here and then we will meet up with him in the maze in front of the temple." Pursuing Terror said as he watched Sing Lee and Karnage row off in the distance.
Sing Lee opened her umbrella and said,"Go to the right, Karnage, I want you to see Wang's busy waterways." As they leave, Pursuing Terror was interrupted from hearing them by his fellow ninjas. He found them fighting over a bunch of stolen jewels.
"It is mine!"
"I stole it first !"
One snatched a jewel to find it is only a fake. Another got a fake to have another ninja take it from him. But as the air ninjas fight, Karnage and Sing Lee are enjoying a leisurely cruise on the river. They pass many houseboats. In some of the houseboat, people wave, Hello, Sing Lee ! "
"Hello." Sing Lee answered back.
"Could that be Sing Lee's new boyfriend ? " One houseboat owner said .
"Let us head toward the other side of the dock so we can go to the pagoda." Sing Lee told Karnage.
"What ….There are pagodas in Mynea, too?" Karnage asked.
"I mean…temple. It is a temple where great treasures await." Sing Lee answered.
"Well, What are we waiting for?" Karnage said very excited, but Karnage does not know that Baloo has spotted him.
"Kit !"
"Yes, Baloo ."
"You aren't going to believe this, Karny is in a boat with a gal." Baloo said. Kit and Baloo looked at Karnage and Sing Lee rowing off in the distance as the sun settled. Baloo and Kit looked at each other astonished.
"Not even a wave goodbye." Baloo said.
"Why he didn't even notice we were here." Kit remarked.
"Let's follow him." They said together, but before they can tied the sea duck, a man rushed at them.
"Run for your lives !"
"The air ninjas are coming !"
"Air ninjas ? ? "Baloo said quizzled, "What is an air ninja?"
"There are air ninjas here? Kit asked.
"That !" The man replied while he ran off .
Baloo and Kit spotted the air ninjas. The air ninjas are doing flips, tumbling, rolling, leaping, somersaulting, twirling their bo staffs, their star - shaped knives, swords and their nunchakus.
"Oh, it's just a traveling circus!" Baloo said.
"They aren't acrobats, and that man wouldn't have been afraid of them if they were. "Kit replied. "Karnage would often boast about a pen pal of his who he said was an air ninja."
The air ninja called Pursuing Terror noticed Baloo and Kit standing there, but sneaked around to avoid being seen.
"Hmm, so Don Karnage was telling the truth in his letters, so that is Baloo . I rarely believe he could get a plane off the ground than to be the rival pilot to my pen pal, Karnage." Pursuing Terror thought to himself. "Too bad, I must destroy such a nice plane." Pursuing Terror and other air ninjas jump into their planes without Baloo or Kit seeing. " I wonder if that annoying cargo business, Business type lady who doesn't fly a plane is real, too. Hmmm, what does she fly then, a broom?"
Sing Lee and Karnage have already arrive near the temple's gates.
"Tell me again about treasures that await." Karnage asked.
"Ah yes,I have a map to them ." Sing Lee teased Karnage playfully. Karnage pulled out his sword.
"Might I remind you, Señorita Kaa, that I am a dastardly pirate of unreputable renown ." And where did you go? "
"Over here, Karnage." Sing Lee yelled. Karnage looked around to see where she went and found her in the entrance to a maze that lead to the temple.
"Come back here !" yelled Karnage as Sing Lee ran into the maze laughing . "I just want the map." Karnage yelled.
"You cannot catch me." Sing Lee giggled as she hide behind a bush while Karnage tried to catch her. Sing Lee dodged him, still giggling. Before long, Karnage cannot find her so he looked for Sing Lee in the maze.
"EEEEEEK !" screamed Sing Lee . "
Huh !" Karnage responded.
"Come quickly, look what has happened ! The temple has been vandalized. There is graffiti all over the temple ground. Why this vandals did not even leave the pillars alone." Sing Lee said upset.
Don Karnage recognized one of the names carved into the pillars.
"Shadowy Wrath." Don Karnage remembered his distant past, when he was still a young child, Karnage and his mama ran away from Tio Garbajo on a boat to Taipan where Karnage meet Pursuing Terror
"Greetings, Karnage." A jackal looking type boy greeted as the jackal boy leaves a dojo, training temple for martial arts. " I gotten a belt from my martial arts instructor." The jackal boy boasted while a clouded leopard girl cub with a black belt watched them from a distance. Karnage turned around, but the leopard girl had left.
"Come on, let us go inside the dojo." Karnage answered.
"Good." The jackal pup whispered. There Karnage and the jackal pup go inside the hideout and hide behind a scene when they can see the ceremony. In front of the chamber is a seat with an old pig man sitting on it. In the middle of the chamber is a pit full of boiling water, the ninja are all around it. One of the ninja is a child, which the old man summarized forward. The old man announced "Today I present you a new member to our organization." "Let us remove our hoods." All ninjas remove their hoods, so does the child who happens to be the same clouded leopard girl that was overhearing them.
"You see that girl." She is very good." The Jackal pup said.
"Si." Karnage replied.
The old man continued to talk. "What do you wish to call yourself."
The girl replied, "I shall be knows as Shadowy Wrath."
"One day I shall be a ninja and then, I will call myself Pursuing Terror." Pursuing Terror whispered.
"Karnage, Karnage, What are you thinking?" Sing Lee disturbed Karnage concentration.
"Nada." Karnage said.
"Why those rotten vandals even destroy the temple's stone statues." Sing Lee said angrily.
"Wait a minute, those statutes are supposed to be in the front of temple."
"You do not suppose the statutes came to life and walk here." Sing Lee wondered.
"Hmm, no that is impossible. Hey, you are supposed to be taking me to the treasures !" Karnage reminded.
"Really, Karnage, Do you think that the vandals would leave some treasures for you." Sing Lee said.
"I shall see for myself." Karnage said. Karnage looked around, "I have come to the conclusion that there is nada."
"Good, now we can leave. "Sing Lee said .
While Sing Lee and Karnage are leaving the temple grounds, they get separated in the maze, "Karnage? " Sing Lee called out as she looked for Karnage.
At that very moment, air ninjas jump out of the bushes . Sing Lee knew Kung Fu and with a few good kicks, drove them off however, Karnage also met up with an air ninja.
"Huh ! Karnage said when Pursuing Terror jumped out of the bushes . Karnage came face to face with his pen pal.
" Karnage, my amigo, Ore no tomodachi !" Pursuing Terror exclaimed with open arms as gold coins drop to the ground.
"Plip! Plip! " the other ninjas scrambled to get the coins that Pursuing Terror had drop on the ground.
" Compadre ! Goddofaza !" Karnage exclaimed accented the a's. Karnage and Pursuing Terror both hug each other since they are old friends.
"Long time , no pillage, Karnage !" Pursuing Terror said.
"Yes, it has been a long time." Karnage said . "Sing Lee, I and Pursuing Terror known each other since we were little pillagers. " Karnage turned around to introduce Pursuing Terror to her.
"Sing Lee ?" Karnage looked around for her.
Pursuing Terror took out his sword. They, then bowed to each other respectfully as to challenge each other to a sword fight.
"So my semi worthy opponent, sword fight, you wish to ." Karnage said as he took out his sword. Karnage and Pursuing Terror started dueling .
"Gracias for this challenge." Don Karnage said.
"No, the honor is all mine." Pursuing Terror answered back putting his palm into the another hand. Before Karnage knew it, two air ninjas threw a net over him .
"Hey, get this thing off " yelled Karnage.
"No fair, Pursuing Terror" The air ninjas fly off with Karnage. Sing Lee runs after them yelling .
"Come Back with that air pirate , you air pirates!" Just then, Baloo and Kit come out of the bushes.
The air ninjas head back to their secret headquarters on top of a mountain. When the air ninjas arrive at their hideout, they started hollering, and taking out their plunder from their planes. Pursuing Terror removed Karnage from the net.
" I know it is all fair to plunder plunderer ! Karnage says quite angrily . "I am most mad , what is this mundo type world coming to when the looters start stealing the looters ! When you loot, you loot honorably. "
"A thousands pardons ." Pursuing Terror said lowering his head with his arms to the side.
"That is more like it. " Karnage said still upset. "Do forgive me, Karnage, but my boss lady, Shadowy Wrath wants to see you again. " Pursuing Terror implied.
"Shadowy Wrath is your boss ? You never told me in your letters. "Karnage said surprised.
"I did not think it was important. " Pursuing Terror answered.
"Not importante ! Do you know who your boss is known as? Karnage said very excited. "She is the assassin of the sky ! I read about her in the newspapers! I even took some of ideas as my own. " Karnage said.
" What was new about that my boss lady called the Dragon lady Aviator ."
"The reason why they call her that is because she is a deadly manipulator ! It is the reason for her success ! That is not all, she is a clever, notorious ninja, an excellent pilot , a most remarkable persona, dreaded, relentless, ruthless woman who has become one of the most feared thieving-types in the world ! Oh , Pursuing Terror, she is an amazing type personas… and I get to meet her again at last ." Karnage exclaimed . "Yes, I know." Pursuing Terror said indifferently.
"Oh, goodness gracias, She has heard of my most marvelous self and wants an alliance ! I am not believing this…. Shadowy Wrath wants to form an alliance with me or maybe even more !." Karnage said delighted.
"She does remember you." Pursuing Terror said looking around, "I wonder where is she is ?"
"Cough !" Karnage went when a huge cloud of smoke appeared out of nowhere. "Shadowy Wrath!" Pursuing Terror said.
Out of the smoke cloud came out an air ninja smoking a pipe cigarette. The ninja removed her red hood to reveal a beautiful feline with long, dark, black hair. Don Karnage appeared startled when he sees her.
"What is wrong, Karnage, surprised to see that a woman who can fly a plane , be an expert in martial arts and be the leader of the air ninjas as well ." Shadowy Wrath smiled.
"No, I find it most intriguing ! "Karnage still startled.
"Yes, I know it does sound unbelievable ." Shadowy Wrath boasted. "You see, Karnage, We, female ninjas(Kunoichi) always do things the traditional ninja way. We steal what we want and get what we want." She smiled at once with her weapons at hand.
" You steal it ! How romántico ." Karnage exclaimed. Just then, Don Karnage lost control of his emotions and sweeped Shadowy Wrath off her feet. "I adored traditional old fashioned thieving girly -types, my bonita pussy gata ! "
" Gasp ! I have awoken a sleeping giant." Shadowy Wrath said rather delighted.
" Now ! I know why it is often said to leave sleeping giants lie." Pursuing Terror said becoming green eyed since Karnage is with his boss lady.
"You probably wondering why Pursuing Terror brought you here." Shadowy Wrath slurred .
"I never been swipe off my feet before." Karnage cooed sensuous with a twinkle in his eye.
Shadowy Wrath replied rather reluctantly, "Where did you find him, Pursuing Terror? "
"We spotted him at the fish market." Pursuing Terror replied .
"What !" Shadowy Wrath shouted. "In front of all those people .You know ninjas are not supposed to be seen, remember, stealth !"
"But Shadowy Wrath, look at all the riches we have brought you." Pursuing Terror tried to explain.
" Hundred leaps now !" Shadowy Wrath ordered.
"Yes, as you wish." Pursuing Terror lowered his head .
"Everyone ! " Shadowy Wrath ordered the rest of her air ninjas.
"Please, do not be hard on them." Karnage said.
Shadowy Wrath turned to him. "Remember, the art of ninjutsu is the shadow warrior's art, which is very secret, so secret that one sometimes must wear hoods not to reveal oneself. Our art is that of surprise, stealth and mystery." She explained. Then she raised an eyebrow while staring at Karnage.
" I am not thinking right. I am most sorry." Karnage apologized. "Where are my manners ? We have not seen each other for a long time, yes, no ?" Karnage bowed. " I am Capitán Don Karnage, pirate extraordinaire !"
"I am Shadowy Wrath, a ninja master." Shadowy Wrath did as she lifts her hand at Karnage.
Don Karnage held her hand and said romantically, "Most charm !" then he kissed it.
"Not as charm as I am !" Shadowy Wrath replied surly. "We do not have many handsome air pirate captains around here, matter of fact, we do not have any ! Do you like music, Karnage ?" She asked. Shadowy Wrath still smoking a pipe cigarette. "Puff !"
"Si, do you have some tango musica?" Karnage asked. "I like dancing ." Karnage replied bowing. Shadowy Wrath got a record and put it on the phonograph. Karnage and Shadowy Wrath start dancing the tango. "Rum tum tum."
Don Karnage danced like if he was in a trace, and they both dance back and forward few times around. At the end of the song, Don Karnage lowered Shadowy Wrath and said to her.
"You dance divinely !"
Karnage was about to kiss Shadowy Wrath when a message came on the radio.
"Come in, Shadowy Wrath, I have a mission for you."
Shadowy Wrath took the needle off the record then she picked up the radio receiver. "Yes , Lieutenant." She affirmed.
"There is a yellow sea plane that is carrying weapons for Kaa . The plane must be stop." He ordered.
"As you wish, Lieutenant. " Shadowy Wrath answered sneering rather slyly as if she was up to no good.
"What was that all about ?" Karnage asked.
"A job." Shadowy Wrath responded.
"Something with this war ?" Karnage asked wondering.
"Yes !" Shadowy Wrath replied.
"Who are you for? Karnage asked.
"The winning side !" Shadowy Wrath answered. "But enough of that, we must get to know each other better. "
"Si, I like that, perhaps you will give me little ideas. I have always admired your feared reputation. " Karnage admitted as he pulled a chair for Shadowy Wrath
"Thank you, Karnage, have some tea ."
Meanwhile, Sing Lee has met Baloo and Kit.
"Now let me get this straight." Baloo said.
'You're telling me that you've the niece of this Captain Kaa fellow and that my Karny was delivering the weapons so that your uncle can drive off the Tapanese invaders."
"Yes, I know its sounds hard to believe that an air pirate come to the aid of my country, but he did." Sing Lee replied.
"Then who were those fellows that attacked us?" Baloo asked .
"Those pilots are part of the Tapanese air force ?" Sing Lee said
"What about those pilots that carry off Karnage ? Are they part of the Tapanese air force ?"
"No, those are the air ninjas. " Sing Lee answered.
"Air ninjas !" Baloo exclaimed.
"Remember those pilots that you said were a traveling circus." Kit reminded.
"Maybe you were right about them not being acrobats, but what would they want with Don Karnage ?"
"It is their boss, Shadowy Wrath who wants him." Sing Lee said.
" What are air ninjas anyway ?" Kit remarked, " But, thieves and assassins."
"Yes, they are thieves and assassins. " Sing Lee agreed.
"You mean to tell me Karnage has been haul off by someone who wants him to join their band of thieves ." Baloo giggled.
"It is not just anyone who wants him . " It is Shadowy Wrath. " Sing Lee answered.
"We can't let that Shadowy Wrath just take off with my Karny ! " Baloo said.
" Do not worry, Baloo, I have a plan to get Don Karnage Back, " Sing Lee said.
Back at the secret ninja hideout, Shadowy Wrath and Karnage are still drinking tea when suddenly Baloo came on the radio.
Come in, air ninjas, I've heard you guys were good, but I bet I can outfly all of you."
"What !" Shadowy Wrath reeled angrily. She stood up immediately upon hearing Baloo's challenge. "Who is this pilot that dares to challenges the Shadowy Wrath and her ninjas !"
" It is that fat pilot, Baloo, the one that Karnage wrote about . " Pursuing Terror answered . "Or, was it some annoying Business type person Karnage has never heard of ? Or, is the one who flies a broom ? " Pursuing Terror commented puzzled.
" Let it be known that the air ninjas do not fly away from a fight." Shadowy Wrath ordered.
"I would be honor if I could fly with Shadowy Wrath to destroy this typical Uslander playboy pilot ." Pursuing Terror lowered his head.
"Uno minuto, only Don Karnage gets to bump off Baloo, He is my victim. " Karnage scolded Pursuing Terror.
"Oh, please , just this once !" pleaded Shadowy Wrath .
"Okay, but only this once." Karnage smiled.
"Pursuing Terror !" Shadowy Wrath ordered.
"Yes, my delightful deceiver ." Pursuing Terror replied.
"Air ninjas have no honor and don't call me a delightful deceiver either ." Shadowy Wrath corrected him.
Don Karnage got up from his seat. "Allow me to go with you."
" No, Karnage, finish your tea." Shadowy Wrath ordered.
Not long after, Baloo received a message on his radio.
"So Baloo, we meet at last, how appropriate for you to be defeated by a woman." A woman's voice comes on the radio.
"Shadowy Wrath is a girl!" Baloo exclaimed.
" Girl ? " Shadowy Wrath questioned.
"Yes, lady, I never had dogfight with a gal before." Baloo said.
" It will be your last dogfight !" Shadowy Wrath boasted. "Attack, my men ! "She shouted.
" As you wish, magnificent marauder ." Pursuing Terror said as he took aim at the sea duck.
"Grr. I am boss, you fool. Don't call me that." Shadowy Wrath reprimanded him.
"RATATA !"
" Miss me, lady! Baloo said.
"I don't think that was her. "Kit said rather worried.
"Rattata !" "Kabunk ! " "Kabunk !"
"Wow!" Kit exclaimed, " And you thought they were a traveling circus ."
Baloo goes into a dive.
"Kit, get me some mangoes !" Baloo threw the mangoes at the ninjas. "Splat !" "Splat!"
"So, we like to throw things, well, I throw things, too !" Shadowy Wrath said as she takes out a Chinese star (a shurikin)from her pocket. "This is for you, Baloo !"
Baloo yelled as he removed the Chinese star from his hat. The sea duck went into a loop, and then another loop.
"I hope Sing Lee gets in all right !" Kit said.
Back at the ninja's headquarters, their dojo, Don Karnage just figured out that he has been locked in and unable to escape. He slowly slumped himself on the floor.
"Karnage ?" Sing Lee asked.
"Sing Lee, is that you?" Karnage said, "How did you get in ?" Karnage asked.
"I came through an open window." Sing Lee said, "Quickly, Karnage, Shadowy Wrath will return soon !" Sing Lee said anxiously to leave, but Karnage, however was reluctant to leave. "What is wrong ?" Sing Lee asked ."
Karnage still slumped on the floor grabbed his drinking cup and looked in it seriously romantically. "I think I have fallen in love with you and cannot get up." He handed her the cup.
" I think someone put something into your drink !" Sing Lee said mildly disgusted and almost flattered as she looked inside Karnage's cup. In the sky overhead, the dogfighting continued.
"Baloo, we're almost there to the spot Sing Lee told us to meet her and Karnage." Kit said.
"Bang !" the air ninjas ran into each other.
"You Fools ! Stop shooting at yourselves !" yelled Shadowy Wrath .
"Shadowy Wrath, look out !" Pursuing Terror exclaimed
"Aaagh ! " Pursuing Terror and Shadowy Wrath screamed as the sea duck's cargo hold opened and dropped tomatoes on them.
Only moments later, Sing Lee and Don Karnage arrived at the spot where they were going to meet Baloo and Kit . Karnage took Sing Lee to the side, and said to her lovingly.
"I am most grateful that your save me form those unlawful plunderers" .
"You are welcome, Karnage." Sing Lee said as she lead him inside the cave where Baloo and Kit are leaning against the sea duck with their hats over their eyes. Baloo looked up and lifted his hand to see Sing Lee and Karnage come in.
"Baloo !" Sing Lee said delighted, however Don Karnage was not delighted to see them.
"You ! " Karnage shouted.
"Yes, it's me ." Baloo said smiling.
"And me, too !" Kit said pointing to himself.
Karnage started growling "RRR ! So how much did you get paid ?" Karnage asked. "Yes, No?"
"Paid ? " Baloo asked.
"What's he talking about ?" Kit asked.
"I don't know ." Baloo said.
Karnage turned around to talk to Sing Lee. "Sing Lee, why did you pay these ?" Karnage whispered sweetly to her.
As Shadowy Wrath and her air ninjas return to their hideout drippy wet, she noticed a letter on the table. She opened it, then started to read it. It said: To my dearest friend, Shadowy Wrath. I am regretting that I must leave you so soon, but I will be making it up to you. Love, Don Karnage.
"Now that is a man I would enjoy having dinner with and I would not miss that chance for all the gold in the world !"
Ah, but that is another story! Ah, but that is another story. The End
Love at First Plunder
Tale Spin fan fiction
That one day when Baloo and Kit had finished delivering their cargo in Thembria, an unexpected announcement was heard on the radio.
"Come in, Kaa san, It is I, Don Karnage, and I am bringing you goody good type weapons for your most glorious war."
"Karny !" said Baloo, but before Baloo picked up the receiver, Kaa answered hissing. "We are mo…ssssss..t honored by you coming to Mynea, Karnage, you have our permission to land."
"Gracias, Senior ."
Yet, neither Don Karnage or Kaa are aware that the imperial Tapanese air force and the (TGB) Thembria's secret service are listening in on them, but them again, so is Baloo.
"Baloo, we can't let Karnage deliver those weapons. We got to stop him!" Kit said.
"O.K, Little Britches, see if you can find Mynea on the map."
Meanwhile Don Karnage was telling his air pirates about what they are going to get for their stolen goods. There are spices, tea, silks, and expensive dishes, all for weapons we have stolen ."
"Are you sure your pen pal was telling the truth ?" Mad Dog asked.
""Ya, he sounds crazy ." Dump truck answered.
"Don't say that word, crazy. I know I hate it when you say it to me. He is not loco, just diferente, and he is a thief and a pilot like us." He corrected him
"I thought you said he was an air ninja?" Mad Dog replied.
"Air ninjas are thieving types, estupido." scolded Karnage.
"Did guy says he is a Pursuing Terror." Dump truck said.
"I know what he calls himself. He always signs his name on the letters ." Karnage said.
"Hey, isn't that the freaky kid, Uncle Garbajo told you not to write anymore !"
"How dare you mention that horrible type man. Do not mention him ever again !" Karnage said angrily.
In an old abandoned field waiting for Don Karnage to arrive, Kaa was found talking to a sky ninja. "I heard this fellow is tall, dark and handsome." The ninja purred. "I could use a man like that in my organization." Just then, the air ninja released her claws from her left paw.
"I am not paying you to socialized Shadowy Wrath, the job must be done as soon as possible." Kaa ordered.
"Do not worry, Captain Kaa, we will complete the job before night fall."
"Uncle, the plane you have been waiting for has arrived." Kaa's niece who is a petite young panda about in her late 20's or 30's told him.
"Thank you, Sing Lee."
When Karnage and his men arrived, they were greeted by unexpected surprise. There stood in front of them, a very tall, large necked lizard like man draped with Chinese robes, pillbox hat, and unusually metal hands as though he was some sort of cross between a robotic entity and a miniature brontosaurus. He was standing next two large equally impressive Komodo dragons. They were holding giant elaborate red flags with red Chinese dragons on them.
"DDD ….Dragons ? !" Mad dog shivered holding on to Dump truck for protection.
" Of course, this is supposed to be Mynea." Karnage assured, "Mynea is called the Middle Empire of the Red Drag gone." Karnage bowed respectfully to Kaa and his dragon guards.
Kaa greeted Karnage. "I am honored to meet you, Karnage. I see …eee you kept your part of the bargain, now, I shall keep mine."
"Corporal, the valuables !"
A large Komodo dragon summoned the soldiers waiting for soldiers bring out loads of china, tea, spices and silk.
"Excellamundo, Dump truck, Mad Dog, get these goody type goods, and do not drop any."
"Karnage, it would give me great honor if you join me for dinner with my niece." Kaa asked, but he doesn't know that the Shadowy Wrath was listening from behind a building.
"Bring Don Karnage to me. I have use for a thief like that !" She ordered her band of air ninjas.
"I accept your invitation." Karnage answered. "Continue loading the valuables !" He ordered his men. Mad dog whispered into Dumptruck's ear.
"While the captain is eating, we will sell this stuff and then he will be so pleased."
Meanwhile, Baloo and Kit are flying around in search for Karnage.
"Baloo, we are almost there." Kit said, "But I still don't think we should have bought this map in Thembria."
"Okay, it's got a few holes in it." Baloo answered.
" A lot of holes in it is more like it." Kit answered back. Just then, over the radio, "Surrender, you Cape Suzette swines or die !
"Huh ?" Baloo wondered.
"Attack ! " Out of the clouds comes one of the squadrons of the imperial Tapanese air force.
"If it's a dogfight, you boys want, it's a dogfight you got !" Baloo answered back. "Ratttaaaa!" Baloo turned the sea duck to avoid being hit. Baloo kept turning, looping, barrel rolling, steering to keep from being hit.
"It seems that they have sent their best pilot." The Squadron said to his pilots. "Do not let him get away !" "Ratata !" "Crash!" The window breaks in front of Baloo. "Baloo, are you hurt? Kit asked worried.
" Not a chance." said Baloo. Baloo found a place to land the sea duck that will help them get away. "It's time for a little hide n' sneak. " Baloo laughed. Baloo landed the sea duck in a cave.
It is not long before the sea duck is in the sky again. Karnage's pirates passed the sea duck unnoticed.
"How are we going to find Karnage. "Kit asked.
"Simple, I will just call Karnage to find out where he is." Baloo replied.
"Well, I do not see why Karnage doesn't steal the stuff he was going to get for those weapons. Maybe we should ask him about that, too. "Kit suggested.
"Good idea ."
Meanwhile, Karnage is having dinner with Kaa and his niece, Sing Lee.
"Would Don Karnage like to try a fortune cookie?" Sing Lee asked.
"Gracias. It is a cookie that has a paper fortune or a wise saying written on it, Yes, No ?" Karnage questioned.
"That is why we called the cookie; a fortune cookie." smiled Sing Lee.
"I wondering what my fortune will be like." Karnage said eagerly.
"So do I" Sing Lee said. Sing Lee's fortune cookie said, "Beware of the Shadowy Wrath." Sing Lee appeared to be startled. "What does your fortune cookie say?" Sing Lee asked.
Karnage appeared to be confused. "The pleasures of gold and silver are few compared to the rewards of the hearth." Karnage read. "What is this hearth?" Karnage thought to himself. "Never mind, I will get another one. He opened it and read it loudly. "Go home and be a family man ? ! Un minuto, what is this paper doing in here?
"Did you enjoy your dinner, Karnage sssan" Kaa hissed.
"SI, it was good. " Karnage bowed respectfully with his hands together.
"Yes, you like reading fortune from fortune cookies. I prefer reading Western and Chinese philosophy. Allow me to quote you some, when one is searching for knowledge, one must have an understanding of it to gain anything from it, I am right ?"
"Si, I suppose so."
"My uncle also practices hypnosis magic . " Sing Lee added.
"Don't be silly, Sing Lee. I only practice the science and theories of hypnosis, not that superstitious magical nonsense. I heard you were looking maps, Karnage. There is a museum in the area where there are all sort of different ancient maps dated several years along with some current versions. Hopefully, it is still around. Ahh…what does old saying go, "A wise man once said the best way to hide your special knowledge is not to hide it in a hidden place or stored it, but to put it in clear sight. For the fool will not notice it, but only a true follower will find it. "
"Uncle has also forgotten to tell you he enjoys reading fairytales and traditional folktales. He likes to tell them, too." Sing Lee reminded.
"Some fairytales are worth reading especially the ones about Mynea while some real stories aren't. I am afraid even some of the latest news can be so dreadfully horrible. It sounds more like cheap gossip."
" Yes, there are rumors that you traveling around in outskirts of Mynea looking for hidden treasures in lost cities?" Sing Lee giggled. "I don't know why when the interior is where the birthplace of Ancient Eastern knowledge."
"I have ."
" There are only rumors, but if they weren't, Mynea would know because Mynea knows everything." Kaa assured.
"Silly fly boy, you are an air pirate, not a philosopher. Why would you want insights to all things, when there is love?" Sing Lee snickered.
" Si, foolish ism is the most profit type. Karnage smiled while he moved his eyes scoundrelly.
A servant whispered into Kaa's ear.
"I am afraid, I must go now, duty calls. I have business with these fly boys ." Kaa smiled. He motioned to the vultures wearing bomber jackets with Eurasia symbols. They look more like Beetles wannabes than fighter pilots. One of them has his name printed on his jacket. It said Dizzy
"Perhaps sometime I could give you a tour of the city." Kaa remarked.
"Oh please, Uncle, may I give Don Karnage the tour myself." Sing Lee begged while she held her hands behind her back eagerly.
"Very well, I think no harm will come of it." Kaa replied.
" Come along, Don Karnage, Mynea awaits." Sing Lee shouted delighted.
One of the vultures with long mopped over his beak called Dizzy leaned close to them and whispered to them a quote from an old Beetle song. " All you need is love. That's all you ever need."
Before, Karnage leaves, Baloo's voice came on the radio.
" Hey Karnagy, heard you were getting stuff for weapons, why didn't you just steal the stuff instead of going through all that trouble? Baloo asked.
"Because I have no idea where to steal it from. " Karnage replied angrily.
"So where are ya? Baloo wondered.
"Somewhere you are not." Karnage said annoyed.
After noticing that his pirates have left him, Karnage told Baloo to meet him at the dock. "Some pirates must be told more than once." Karnage said to Sing Lee.
"Karnage ?" "Where is the dock?" Baloo asked.
"First, tell me where you are flying ." Karnage said very annoyed.
"Tell him we are south of the city of Wang." Kit told Baloo
"We're south of Wang" repeated Baloo.
"Enter the city and there will be the dock." Karnage said furious.
"Okay Dokey, Karny." Baloo said.
"It is Captan if you please. "Karnage growled. "They make me so angry." Karnage told Sing Lee
"We must not your pirates ruin your day." Sing Lee said.
Both Karnage and Sing Lee leave the house, it does not take long for Karnage and Sing Lee to reach the city of Wang. The marketplace was bursting with activities. All of a sudden, a Taipanse plane went by firing at the people.
"Duck." Karnage shouted at Sing Lee.
"Duck, Karnage !" Sing Lee answered as she pulled down Karnage down. "RATATA!" Rtata!" The plane left as sudden as it came. Sing Lee and Don Karnage come out of hiding .
"Let us take a ride on a jinrikisha (a two - wheeled passenger vehicle)."
"A what or where ? !" Karnage wondered.
" One of those .." Sing Lee replied as she lead Karnage to a man with a jiniriksha. They both take a ride on a jinrikisha through the marketplace. As Karnage and Sing Lee are riding#, some shoppers and vendors noticed them.
"Is that no Sing Lee."
" Yes, it is."
"Who is that man?"
"He appears to be a foreigner"
"Why he is so handsome!"
"What a lucky girl Sing Lee is ? "
"I see Sing Lee has another suitor."
Sometime ago, the sea duck has landed and our heroes are waiting for Don Karnage to arrive.
"I wonder where Karny is? He said to meet him here." Baloo said.
"Baloo, He tricked us !" Kit exclaimed.
At the same time while Baloo and Kit are waiting for Karnage. Something is going on the others side of the dock. People are running as it their lives depended on it. Women with children run for shelter, and people are hiding under fruits stands. Out of nowhere, the air ninjas appeared stealing, and causing trouble for the vendors. One ninja grabbed a vendor by the neck and demanded his valuables.
"Please do not hurt me, take whatever you want!" The Vendor pleaded.
At that very moment, Sing Lee and Karnage arrived and stopped nearby.
"Come along, Karnage, we are going on a rowboat."
One of the ninjas noticed them while he was stealing and goes up to the ninja that grabbed one of the vendors.
"That is the man the our boss wants us to bring to her, Pursuing Terror." A ninja said.
"So our boss wants to meet my pen pal, Don Karnage, does she? All she had to do was ask. Let us finish up here and then we will meet up with him in the maze in front of the temple." Pursuing Terror said as he watched Sing Lee and Karnage row off in the distance.
Sing Lee opened her umbrella and said,"Go to the right, Karnage, I want you to see Wang's busy waterways." As they leave, Pursuing Terror was interrupted from hearing them by his fellow ninjas. He found them fighting over a bunch of stolen jewels.
"It is mine!"
"I stole it first !"
One snatched a jewel to find it is only a fake. Another got a fake to have another ninja take it from him. But as the air ninjas fight, Karnage and Sing Lee are enjoying a leisurely cruise on the river. They pass many houseboats. In some of the houseboat, people wave, Hello, Sing Lee ! "
"Hello." Sing Lee answered back.
"Could that be Sing Lee's new boyfriend ? " One houseboat owner said .
"Let us head toward the other side of the dock so we can go to the pagoda." Sing Lee told Karnage.
"What ….There are pagodas in Mynea, too?" Karnage asked.
"I mean…temple. It is a temple where great treasures await." Sing Lee answered.
"Well, What are we waiting for?" Karnage said very excited, but Karnage does not know that Baloo has spotted him.
"Kit !"
"Yes, Baloo ."
"You aren't going to believe this, Karny is in a boat with a gal." Baloo said. Kit and Baloo looked at Karnage and Sing Lee rowing off in the distance as the sun settled. Baloo and Kit looked at each other astonished.
"Not even a wave goodbye." Baloo said.
"Why he didn't even notice we were here." Kit remarked.
"Let's follow him." They said together, but before they can tied the sea duck, a man rushed at them.
"Run for your lives !"
"The air ninjas are coming !"
"Air ninjas ? ? "Baloo said quizzled, "What is an air ninja?"
"There are air ninjas here? Kit asked.
"That !" The man replied while he ran off .
Baloo and Kit spotted the air ninjas. The air ninjas are doing flips, tumbling, rolling, leaping, somersaulting, twirling their bo staffs, their star - shaped knives, swords and their nunchakus.
"Oh, it's just a traveling circus!" Baloo said.
"They aren't acrobats, and that man wouldn't have been afraid of them if they were. "Kit replied. "Karnage would often boast about a pen pal of his who he said was an air ninja."
The air ninja called Pursuing Terror noticed Baloo and Kit standing there, but sneaked around to avoid being seen.
"Hmm, so Don Karnage was telling the truth in his letters, so that is Baloo . I rarely believe he could get a plane off the ground than to be the rival pilot to my pen pal, Karnage." Pursuing Terror thought to himself. "Too bad, I must destroy such a nice plane." Pursuing Terror and other air ninjas jump into their planes without Baloo or Kit seeing. " I wonder if that annoying cargo business, Business type lady who doesn't fly a plane is real, too. Hmmm, what does she fly then, a broom?"
Sing Lee and Karnage have already arrive near the temple's gates.
"Tell me again about treasures that await." Karnage asked.
"Ah yes,I have a map to them ." Sing Lee teased Karnage playfully. Karnage pulled out his sword.
"Might I remind you, Señorita Kaa, that I am a dastardly pirate of unreputable renown ." And where did you go? "
"Over here, Karnage." Sing Lee yelled. Karnage looked around to see where she went and found her in the entrance to a maze that lead to the temple.
"Come back here !" yelled Karnage as Sing Lee ran into the maze laughing . "I just want the map." Karnage yelled.
"You cannot catch me." Sing Lee giggled as she hide behind a bush while Karnage tried to catch her. Sing Lee dodged him, still giggling. Before long, Karnage cannot find her so he looked for Sing Lee in the maze.
"EEEEEEK !" screamed Sing Lee . "
Huh !" Karnage responded.
"Come quickly, look what has happened ! The temple has been vandalized. There is graffiti all over the temple ground. Why this vandals did not even leave the pillars alone." Sing Lee said upset.
Don Karnage recognized one of the names carved into the pillars.
"Shadowy Wrath." Don Karnage remembered his distant past, when he was still a young child, Karnage and his mama ran away from Tio Garbajo on a boat to Taipan where Karnage meet Pursuing Terror
"Greetings, Karnage." A jackal looking type boy greeted as the jackal boy leaves a dojo, training temple for martial arts. " I gotten a belt from my martial arts instructor." The jackal boy boasted while a clouded leopard girl cub with a black belt watched them from a distance. Karnage turned around, but the leopard girl had left.
"Come on, let us go inside the dojo." Karnage answered.
"Good." The jackal pup whispered. There Karnage and the jackal pup go inside the hideout and hide behind a scene when they can see the ceremony. In front of the chamber is a seat with an old pig man sitting on it. In the middle of the chamber is a pit full of boiling water, the ninja are all around it. One of the ninja is a child, which the old man summarized forward. The old man announced "Today I present you a new member to our organization." "Let us remove our hoods." All ninjas remove their hoods, so does the child who happens to be the same clouded leopard girl that was overhearing them.
"You see that girl." She is very good." The Jackal pup said.
"Si." Karnage replied.
The old man continued to talk. "What do you wish to call yourself."
The girl replied, "I shall be knows as Shadowy Wrath."
"One day I shall be a ninja and then, I will call myself Pursuing Terror." Pursuing Terror whispered.
"Karnage, Karnage, What are you thinking?" Sing Lee disturbed Karnage concentration.
"Nada." Karnage said.
"Why those rotten vandals even destroy the temple's stone statues." Sing Lee said angrily.
"Wait a minute, those statutes are supposed to be in the front of temple."
"You do not suppose the statutes came to life and walk here." Sing Lee wondered.
"Hmm, no that is impossible. Hey, you are supposed to be taking me to the treasures !" Karnage reminded.
"Really, Karnage, Do you think that the vandals would leave some treasures for you." Sing Lee said.
"I shall see for myself." Karnage said. Karnage looked around, "I have come to the conclusion that there is nada."
"Good, now we can leave. "Sing Lee said .
While Sing Lee and Karnage are leaving the temple grounds, they get separated in the maze, "Karnage? " Sing Lee called out as she looked for Karnage.
At that very moment, air ninjas jump out of the bushes . Sing Lee knew Kung Fu and with a few good kicks, drove them off however, Karnage also met up with an air ninja.
"Huh ! Karnage said when Pursuing Terror jumped out of the bushes . Karnage came face to face with his pen pal.
" Karnage, my amigo, Ore no tomodachi !" Pursuing Terror exclaimed with open arms as gold coins drop to the ground.
"Plip! Plip! " the other ninjas scrambled to get the coins that Pursuing Terror had drop on the ground.
" Compadre ! Goddofaza !" Karnage exclaimed accented the a's. Karnage and Pursuing Terror both hug each other since they are old friends.
"Long time , no pillage, Karnage !" Pursuing Terror said.
"Yes, it has been a long time." Karnage said . "Sing Lee, I and Pursuing Terror known each other since we were little pillagers. " Karnage turned around to introduce Pursuing Terror to her.
"Sing Lee ?" Karnage looked around for her.
Pursuing Terror took out his sword. They, then bowed to each other respectfully as to challenge each other to a sword fight.
"So my semi worthy opponent, sword fight, you wish to ." Karnage said as he took out his sword. Karnage and Pursuing Terror started dueling .
"Gracias for this challenge." Don Karnage said.
"No, the honor is all mine." Pursuing Terror answered back putting his palm into the another hand. Before Karnage knew it, two air ninjas threw a net over him .
"Hey, get this thing off " yelled Karnage.
"No fair, Pursuing Terror" The air ninjas fly off with Karnage. Sing Lee runs after them yelling .
"Come Back with that air pirate , you air pirates!" Just then, Baloo and Kit come out of the bushes.
The air ninjas head back to their secret headquarters on top of a mountain. When the air ninjas arrive at their hideout, they started hollering, and taking out their plunder from their planes. Pursuing Terror removed Karnage from the net.
" I know it is all fair to plunder plunderer ! Karnage says quite angrily . "I am most mad , what is this mundo type world coming to when the looters start stealing the looters ! When you loot, you loot honorably. "
"A thousands pardons ." Pursuing Terror said lowering his head with his arms to the side.
"That is more like it. " Karnage said still upset. "Do forgive me, Karnage, but my boss lady, Shadowy Wrath wants to see you again. " Pursuing Terror implied.
"Shadowy Wrath is your boss ? You never told me in your letters. "Karnage said surprised.
"I did not think it was important. " Pursuing Terror answered.
"Not importante ! Do you know who your boss is known as? Karnage said very excited. "She is the assassin of the sky ! I read about her in the newspapers! I even took some of ideas as my own. " Karnage said.
" What was new about that my boss lady called the Dragon lady Aviator ."
"The reason why they call her that is because she is a deadly manipulator ! It is the reason for her success ! That is not all, she is a clever, notorious ninja, an excellent pilot , a most remarkable persona, dreaded, relentless, ruthless woman who has become one of the most feared thieving-types in the world ! Oh , Pursuing Terror, she is an amazing type personas… and I get to meet her again at last ." Karnage exclaimed . "Yes, I know." Pursuing Terror said indifferently.
"Oh, goodness gracias, She has heard of my most marvelous self and wants an alliance ! I am not believing this…. Shadowy Wrath wants to form an alliance with me or maybe even more !." Karnage said delighted.
"She does remember you." Pursuing Terror said looking around, "I wonder where is she is ?"
"Cough !" Karnage went when a huge cloud of smoke appeared out of nowhere. "Shadowy Wrath!" Pursuing Terror said.
Out of the smoke cloud came out an air ninja smoking a pipe cigarette. The ninja removed her red hood to reveal a beautiful feline with long, dark, black hair. Don Karnage appeared startled when he sees her.
"What is wrong, Karnage, surprised to see that a woman who can fly a plane , be an expert in martial arts and be the leader of the air ninjas as well ." Shadowy Wrath smiled.
"No, I find it most intriguing ! "Karnage still startled.
"Yes, I know it does sound unbelievable ." Shadowy Wrath boasted. "You see, Karnage, We, female ninjas(Kunoichi) always do things the traditional ninja way. We steal what we want and get what we want." She smiled at once with her weapons at hand.
" You steal it ! How romántico ." Karnage exclaimed. Just then, Don Karnage lost control of his emotions and sweeped Shadowy Wrath off her feet. "I adored traditional old fashioned thieving girly -types, my bonita pussy gata ! "
" Gasp ! I have awoken a sleeping giant." Shadowy Wrath said rather delighted.
" Now ! I know why it is often said to leave sleeping giants lie." Pursuing Terror said becoming green eyed since Karnage is with his boss lady.
"You probably wondering why Pursuing Terror brought you here." Shadowy Wrath slurred .
"I never been swipe off my feet before." Karnage cooed sensuous with a twinkle in his eye.
Shadowy Wrath replied rather reluctantly, "Where did you find him, Pursuing Terror? "
"We spotted him at the fish market." Pursuing Terror replied .
"What !" Shadowy Wrath shouted. "In front of all those people .You know ninjas are not supposed to be seen, remember, stealth !"
"But Shadowy Wrath, look at all the riches we have brought you." Pursuing Terror tried to explain.
" Hundred leaps now !" Shadowy Wrath ordered.
"Yes, as you wish." Pursuing Terror lowered his head .
"Everyone ! " Shadowy Wrath ordered the rest of her air ninjas.
"Please, do not be hard on them." Karnage said.
Shadowy Wrath turned to him. "Remember, the art of ninjutsu is the shadow warrior's art, which is very secret, so secret that one sometimes must wear hoods not to reveal oneself. Our art is that of surprise, stealth and mystery." She explained. Then she raised an eyebrow while staring at Karnage.
" I am not thinking right. I am most sorry." Karnage apologized. "Where are my manners ? We have not seen each other for a long time, yes, no ?" Karnage bowed. " I am Capitán Don Karnage, pirate extraordinaire !"
"I am Shadowy Wrath, a ninja master." Shadowy Wrath did as she lifts her hand at Karnage.
Don Karnage held her hand and said romantically, "Most charm !" then he kissed it.
"Not as charm as I am !" Shadowy Wrath replied surly. "We do not have many handsome air pirate captains around here, matter of fact, we do not have any ! Do you like music, Karnage ?" She asked. Shadowy Wrath still smoking a pipe cigarette. "Puff !"
"Si, do you have some tango musica?" Karnage asked. "I like dancing ." Karnage replied bowing. Shadowy Wrath got a record and put it on the phonograph. Karnage and Shadowy Wrath start dancing the tango. "Rum tum tum."
Don Karnage danced like if he was in a trace, and they both dance back and forward few times around. At the end of the song, Don Karnage lowered Shadowy Wrath and said to her.
"You dance divinely !"
Karnage was about to kiss Shadowy Wrath when a message came on the radio.
"Come in, Shadowy Wrath, I have a mission for you."
Shadowy Wrath took the needle off the record then she picked up the radio receiver. "Yes , Lieutenant." She affirmed.
"There is a yellow sea plane that is carrying weapons for Kaa . The plane must be stop." He ordered.
"As you wish, Lieutenant. " Shadowy Wrath answered sneering rather slyly as if she was up to no good.
"What was that all about ?" Karnage asked.
"A job." Shadowy Wrath responded.
"Something with this war ?" Karnage asked wondering.
"Yes !" Shadowy Wrath replied.
"Who are you for? Karnage asked.
"The winning side !" Shadowy Wrath answered. "But enough of that, we must get to know each other better. "
"Si, I like that, perhaps you will give me little ideas. I have always admired your feared reputation. " Karnage admitted as he pulled a chair for Shadowy Wrath
"Thank you, Karnage, have some tea ."
Meanwhile, Sing Lee has met Baloo and Kit.
"Now let me get this straight." Baloo said.
'You're telling me that you've the niece of this Captain Kaa fellow and that my Karny was delivering the weapons so that your uncle can drive off the Tapanese invaders."
"Yes, I know its sounds hard to believe that an air pirate come to the aid of my country, but he did." Sing Lee replied.
"Then who were those fellows that attacked us?" Baloo asked .
"Those pilots are part of the Tapanese air force ?" Sing Lee said
"What about those pilots that carry off Karnage ? Are they part of the Tapanese air force ?"
"No, those are the air ninjas. " Sing Lee answered.
"Air ninjas !" Baloo exclaimed.
"Remember those pilots that you said were a traveling circus." Kit reminded.
"Maybe you were right about them not being acrobats, but what would they want with Don Karnage ?"
"It is their boss, Shadowy Wrath who wants him." Sing Lee said.
" What are air ninjas anyway ?" Kit remarked, " But, thieves and assassins."
"Yes, they are thieves and assassins. " Sing Lee agreed.
"You mean to tell me Karnage has been haul off by someone who wants him to join their band of thieves ." Baloo giggled.
"It is not just anyone who wants him . " It is Shadowy Wrath. " Sing Lee answered.
"We can't let that Shadowy Wrath just take off with my Karny ! " Baloo said.
" Do not worry, Baloo, I have a plan to get Don Karnage Back, " Sing Lee said.
Back at the secret ninja hideout, Shadowy Wrath and Karnage are still drinking tea when suddenly Baloo came on the radio.
Come in, air ninjas, I've heard you guys were good, but I bet I can outfly all of you."
"What !" Shadowy Wrath reeled angrily. She stood up immediately upon hearing Baloo's challenge. "Who is this pilot that dares to challenges the Shadowy Wrath and her ninjas !"
" It is that fat pilot, Baloo, the one that Karnage wrote about . " Pursuing Terror answered . "Or, was it some annoying Business type person Karnage has never heard of ? Or, is the one who flies a broom ? " Pursuing Terror commented puzzled.
" Let it be known that the air ninjas do not fly away from a fight." Shadowy Wrath ordered.
"I would be honor if I could fly with Shadowy Wrath to destroy this typical Uslander playboy pilot ." Pursuing Terror lowered his head.
"Uno minuto, only Don Karnage gets to bump off Baloo, He is my victim. " Karnage scolded Pursuing Terror.
"Oh, please , just this once !" pleaded Shadowy Wrath .
"Okay, but only this once." Karnage smiled.
"Pursuing Terror !" Shadowy Wrath ordered.
"Yes, my delightful deceiver ." Pursuing Terror replied.
"Air ninjas have no honor and don't call me a delightful deceiver either ." Shadowy Wrath corrected him.
Don Karnage got up from his seat. "Allow me to go with you."
" No, Karnage, finish your tea." Shadowy Wrath ordered.
Not long after, Baloo received a message on his radio.
"So Baloo, we meet at last, how appropriate for you to be defeated by a woman." A woman's voice comes on the radio.
"Shadowy Wrath is a girl!" Baloo exclaimed.
" Girl ? " Shadowy Wrath questioned.
"Yes, lady, I never had dogfight with a gal before." Baloo said.
" It will be your last dogfight !" Shadowy Wrath boasted. "Attack, my men ! "She shouted.
" As you wish, magnificent marauder ." Pursuing Terror said as he took aim at the sea duck.
"Grr. I am boss, you fool. Don't call me that." Shadowy Wrath reprimanded him.
"RATATA !"
" Miss me, lady! Baloo said.
"I don't think that was her. "Kit said rather worried.
"Rattata !" "Kabunk ! " "Kabunk !"
"Wow!" Kit exclaimed, " And you thought they were a traveling circus ."
Baloo goes into a dive.
"Kit, get me some mangoes !" Baloo threw the mangoes at the ninjas. "Splat !" "Splat!"
"So, we like to throw things, well, I throw things, too !" Shadowy Wrath said as she takes out a Chinese star (a shurikin)from her pocket. "This is for you, Baloo !"
Baloo yelled as he removed the Chinese star from his hat. The sea duck went into a loop, and then another loop.
"I hope Sing Lee gets in all right !" Kit said.
Back at the ninja's headquarters, their dojo, Don Karnage just figured out that he has been locked in and unable to escape. He slowly slumped himself on the floor.
"Karnage ?" Sing Lee asked.
"Sing Lee, is that you?" Karnage said, "How did you get in ?" Karnage asked.
"I came through an open window." Sing Lee said, "Quickly, Karnage, Shadowy Wrath will return soon !" Sing Lee said anxiously to leave, but Karnage, however was reluctant to leave. "What is wrong ?" Sing Lee asked ."
Karnage still slumped on the floor grabbed his drinking cup and looked in it seriously romantically. "I think I have fallen in love with you and cannot get up." He handed her the cup.
" I think someone put something into your drink !" Sing Lee said mildly disgusted and almost flattered as she looked inside Karnage's cup. In the sky overhead, the dogfighting continued.
"Baloo, we're almost there to the spot Sing Lee told us to meet her and Karnage." Kit said.
"Bang !" the air ninjas ran into each other.
"You Fools ! Stop shooting at yourselves !" yelled Shadowy Wrath .
"Shadowy Wrath, look out !" Pursuing Terror exclaimed
"Aaagh ! " Pursuing Terror and Shadowy Wrath screamed as the sea duck's cargo hold opened and dropped tomatoes on them.
Only moments later, Sing Lee and Don Karnage arrived at the spot where they were going to meet Baloo and Kit . Karnage took Sing Lee to the side, and said to her lovingly.
"I am most grateful that your save me form those unlawful plunderers" .
"You are welcome, Karnage." Sing Lee said as she lead him inside the cave where Baloo and Kit are leaning against the sea duck with their hats over their eyes. Baloo looked up and lifted his hand to see Sing Lee and Karnage come in.
"Baloo !" Sing Lee said delighted, however Don Karnage was not delighted to see them.
"You ! " Karnage shouted.
"Yes, it's me ." Baloo said smiling.
"And me, too !" Kit said pointing to himself.
Karnage started growling "RRR ! So how much did you get paid ?" Karnage asked. "Yes, No?"
"Paid ? " Baloo asked.
"What's he talking about ?" Kit asked.
"I don't know ." Baloo said.
Karnage turned around to talk to Sing Lee. "Sing Lee, why did you pay these ?" Karnage whispered sweetly to her.
As Shadowy Wrath and her air ninjas return to their hideout drippy wet, she noticed a letter on the table. She opened it, then started to read it. It said: To my dearest friend, Shadowy Wrath. I am regretting that I must leave you so soon, but I will be making it up to you. Love, Don Karnage.
"Now that is a man I would enjoy having dinner with and I would not miss that chance for all the gold in the world !"
Ah, but that is another story! Ah, but that is another story. The End
