Cape Suzette traffic was always a problem for the locals. Cars could get stuck at a red light for a while before being able to go on green. However, there was one individual who had no troubles like that. His limo could pass freely through the red lights as incoming traffic would come to a stop for him. And it was none other than Shere Khan.

When he arrived at Khan Industries, the evil business tiger was greeted by Walters. Shere Khan smiled at his accountant. "Is she here yet?" he asked Walters.

Walters nodded. "The chosen one is in office. I have some guards watching her right now," he replied.

Khan and Walters walked into the main lobby and stepped into the elevator. "Bring her to my office, Walters, but be gentle with her," he said. "She'll be no good to me if she is damaged."

When the business tiger entered his office, the smile on his face turned into a frown. Shere Khan had a very bad feeling that his chances of finding the chosen one was slim. If she was the chosen one, then Shere Khan would have the power to open Dagon's Gate, thus giving him the power to rule the world.

At that very moment the two big, wooden double doors to his office swung open and in stepped Walters with Anna being escorted by two black panthers security guards.

Sitting down at his desk, Shere Khan linked his fingers together. His eyes locked onto Don Karnage's daughter. "Ah, Anna!" Khan put on a welcoming smile, "I'm glad you're finally here. Take a seat." he gestured to the chair in front of his desk, adorned with gold with a big, red cushion on the seat. Anna did as she was told and sat down.

"I hope my men weren't rough with you," he smiled.

Now Anna was angry and scared. She had seen her father and mother be attacked by the pirates, then get sold by them to some of Khan's goons and here she was now. Sitting in Shere Khan's office, the very man who had ordered her father to be killed.

"Fuck you," she said defiantly to the tiger.

The two guards and Walters gasped in disbelief. No one had ever spoken that way to their boss, because if someone did, then, they would never be seen again. But Shere Khan smiled.

"You're just like your father," Khan's voice turned into a low growl and his claws dug into his desk. "But unlike him, you have a rare gift which I want to be put to good use."

"You're crazy, Shere Khan!" Anna frowned.

"Prrr, oh, I most certainly am crazy." a wide smirk spread across Khan's face and he rose from his seat. "Crazy for power. I have been searching for the one who will give me the power to rule all, and now..." Khan's smirk grew wider and he kept eye contact with Anna. Shere Khan circled around his desk and approached her. "...I have you." he said.

Anna felt nothing but fear now as he was inches away from her now. He stood at the child's side and placed a firm hand on her head. "You will die, but your sacrifice will save millions."

Looking at Walters, he gave his accountant the "take her away" look.

But as Shere Kahn watched Anna get taken away, Don Karnage was already heading his way. The Iron Vulture's new crew could see the cliffs of Cape Suzette, but their captain refused to fly within firing rang of the shore guns that protected the city from hostiles. Turning to his crew, Don Karnage and Jasmine climbed into the mini-sub and got ready to make their way into the city.

"Ugly Mug, you and Stinky Boot will fly in from the east, while Peg Leg Meg takes One-eyed Linda and Two-toed Jack through the bay entrance," Karnage told his crew mates. "As for the rest of you, stay here and guard the Iron Vulture."

"It will be done Captain Karnage," Hardtack Haddie said. Then Don Karnage and Jasmine made their way toward the city, being very careful not to be detected by Khan's navy that was patrolling the bay. When they arrived, Karnage and Jasmine made their way into the city.

Don Karnage smiled when he heard a news paper boy shouting, "Extra! Don Karnage is dead. Feared pirate captain killed by agent of Shere Khan!"

"They think I'm dead, Jasmine," he whispered to her. Jasmine smiled and held her lover close, it was great that everyone thought he was dead. That meant Shere Khan would have very little security with him. As the two of them walked down the street, Garth, one of Khan's goons bumped into them.

He didn't say sorry or make any attempt to see if they were alright, but just kept walking. And right then, Don Karnage knew who he needed to talk to. If anyone knew where Anna was, Garth would.

That night, Don and Jasmine followed Garth to a black tie affair Shere Khan was hosting. Security was tight, only letting people in who had an invitation, Don Karnage and Jasmine stole a couple's invitation and cloths. As the two of them arrived at the entrance, a security guard check them for weapons.

"You're clear to go in," the guard growled. Don Karnage thanked him and led Jasmine inside. As they walked around, the captain could feel many of the men staring at his girlfriend. He looked at Jasmine and blushed a deep red. She was so beautiful in that white dress.

As they acted like they were married, the band began playing some romantic music for the guests to dance to. Turning to Karnage, Jasmine pulled on his arm. "Will my handsome captain dance with me?" she asked, almost pleading like a little girl.

"I will," Don Karnage said with a smile.

"Your tie needs a little work though."Jasmine replied, as she reached up to tightened his tie. It took her a good 5-6 seconds and as she loosened and tightened it, Don Karnage could see straight down her dress. She finished then took a step back and smiled. "Ok, lets go. We are going to show these people who the real dancers are."

When Karnage and Jasmine reached the dance floor, the two of them danced with grace and elegance. Some of the other couples watched them, wishing they could dance that good. When the music ended, Karnage made his way over to the band and handed the conductor a hundred dollars.

By the time Karnage wiggled through the crowd and made it back to Jasmine, the salsa song he requested was already playing. When Jasmine heard the music, she looked at her boyfriend with a smile. "You ready to dance? Because I definitely know how to dance to this."she said.

The sly pirate captain smiled and took his beloved Jasmine by the hand and led her into the crowd. As the two of them danced, they were unaware that Shere Khan was was making his big entrance. The band stopped playing as the old tiger walked across the dance floor, only stopping to inspect one of his guards who's tie was a mess.

Jasmine leaned closer to her boyfriend. "You think he knows we are here?" she asked Don Karnage. He shook his head. Then with the snap of his fingers, Shere Khan's men began taking some of the female guests to the center of the dance floor. Karnage pulled Jasmine closer to him as one guard made his way toward them.

"I'm not leaving you, Donovan," Jasmine whispered in his ear.

But the guard walked past them and walked into the crowed. When he came back, Rebecca in his arms. Shere Khan smiled and the owner of Higher for Hire was brought before him. The old tiger eyed her dress and it fit her body just right. Rebecca gave him a nervous smile and let him escort her to the elevator, where Shere Khan would no doubt seduce her and then send away after he had his fun.

"What do you think Shere Khan wanted with Miss Cunningham?" Kit asked as Baloo. Baloo shrugged his shoulders, unsure on how to answer that question. Karnage walked up to them from the back as to not draw any attention to them.

"You clearly don't know, Kit," Karnage whispered loud enough to catch the young cub's attention. Kit looked up at Karnage, wide eyed. "Shere Khan has always taken women into his bed during these parties."

"What are you doing here? I heard that you were dead!" Kit gasped.

The sly pirate captain smiled. "That's what I want the world to think." he replied, than grabbed Kit and Baloo by the arm and took them to the men's restroom. Once inside, he locked the door and explained to them what happened.

Jasmine however, saw Garth trying to flirt up some girls. Men. She thought to herself. They think more with their dicks, then they do with their heads. Then, an idea popped into her head. Fixing her dress to make herself appear more sexy, Jasmine made her way over to unsuspecting goon.

Garth had a glass of wine in his hand, he turned to mingle with other women, but Jasmine deliberately bumped right into him, causing the wine to splash onto her dress.

"You stupid fool!" she shouted, drawing the crowd's attention. "You ruined my dress!"

Garth looked really upset as Jasmine began making a scene. "I'm really sorry miss," he apologized, but Jasmine kept up the act.

"Sorry? You will be sorry when I have a word with Mr. Khan about how his employees treat his guests!"

So far, her plan was working. Two guards walked up and took Garth away. Then Jasmine saw what she was looking for, the keys to the building. With blinding speed, the lovely vixen snatched the keys off the guard and headed for the door that was for employees.

Being very careful not to be seen, Jasmine unlocked the door and went in. But once on the other side of the door, Jasmine was met with a terrible sight. Cells lined the walls with people who had been reported missing years ago, some were business rivals, former employees of Shere Khan, and some were even children. It was sicking to see such mistreatment of people.

"Please! Let us out!" cried a small boy. Jasmine tried to open his cell, but the keys she had were not for the cells.

"I'll come back for you...all of you," she promised the boy.

Up in Shere Khan's office, Rebecca was crying her eyes out. Shere Khan was raping her! His strong hands held her down as he thrusted his hips into her. Rebecca forced herself to keep her eyes open as he forced himself on her.

"Are you enjoying this my dear?" Khan asked her, purring with pleasure.

"Yes," Rebecca lied. SMACK! Shere Khan smacked her across the face and then grabbed her by the throat. He forced her to look at him.

"Don't lie to me!" he shouted. "You hate everything I am doing to you! You hate me! So why are you trying to ruin my fun?" His words hurt worse then the rape alone. Shere Khan then did one more powerful thrust and released himself inside of Rebecca.

"H-How could you do this to me?" Rebecca sobbed. Shere Khan smiled as he shrugged his shoulders. "You raped me in your office! I'm going to tell everyone, the police, Baloo, and you better pray that I don't get pregnant, because I will kill you if I do."

Rebecca's threat was met by another smack to face by Khan. The old tiger then took hold of her hands and pulled her into a deep kiss. "You wanted to save your business, Miss Cunningham, so consider this a down payment." he said, making her feel even more dirty then before.

But then...

"YOU SON OF BITCH!" Jasmine shouted as she came storming into Khan's office. The old tiger only smiled at her and with a snap of his finger, guards came rushing in. The guards grabbed the two women.

"Take Jasmine to the temple, but send Rebecca Cunningham to the labs for re-education." Shere Khan said with a fang filled smile. It was clear that he was going to erase Rebecca's memories about the rape and keep Jasmine alive until after he killed Anna to open the gate. As he was about to leave his office, the phone on his desk rang.

"Hello, this is Shere Khan, who is calling I may ask?" he camly answered.

At first there was only silence on the other end of the line, but then Shere Khan felt his blood turn cold as he heard Don Karnage's voice. "Hello Mr. Khan. You have in your possession, two girls that I value more than the treasures I've stolen. I know what you are planing to do, so I'll make this simple. Release my daughter and Jasmine, because I'll know if you don't."

"And if I don't let them go?" Khan asked with a frown.

"Then I'll use a particular set of skills. Skills that I have acquired from a very long career; skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter and Jasmine go now unharmed, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you. I will find you and I will kill you," Don finished.

"Good luck," Shere Khan said on the other end, then hung up.


Looks like Shere Khan is about to begin his conquest for world control. Will Karnage and the others stop him in time?
