As he enters the room he tries to get a glimpse of his surroundings. The room is filled
with Karnage's scent. He tries to avoid making any sound and moves swiftly through the
room into the bedroom. On alert he holds his gun tight. He comes across Karnage's king
size bed covered in silk red blankets. Those blankets are covering the body, the body of
his prey. Khan smiles and points his gun to the bed.
"Farewell Don Karnage!"
He pulls the trigger to hear the blast echo throughout the room. His smile quickly turns
to a frown when he sees the room fill with feathers. His gun is quickly pulled by a sword
as his throat comes into contact with its tip. He turns to face his attacker to see Karnage
in nothing but his signature purple robe and a sword in hand.
"Ah Khan, it seems you have come to take revenge on my beautiful pillows yes no?"
Khan slowly steps away from the sword and faces Karnage with a smile.
"I expected more from the captain of the air pirates, but it appears that I was mistaken.
Do you always fight your battles in the nude? Or is it that the rumors are true and that
you made your money off as a whore?"
Karnage first grows angry but tries to keep his cool.
"So the tiger has a sense of joking. I am the captain of this ship because I earned it by
being what I am the best at being… a pirate."
"Oh Karnage, how you brag on and on about being a pirate. Do you honestly believe that
I have forgotten."
Karnage stares at him with a sense of vulnerability and anger.
"You are not in a position to play with my mind."
Shere Khan, while walking secretly grabs a sword.
"Karnage, I made you and I can destroy you."
"You can scare many, but you can not scare me."
"You came to me that night. You knocked on my door. You sold your body to me that
night so that you could become the pirate that you are today. You are no pirate Karnage.
You are nothing but a crazy whore with a sword!"
"Don't…call…me…CRAZY!"
With that Karnage lunged at Khan with his sword to have it blocked by another sword.
"Karnage, I'm afraid you'll have to do better than that."
Khan swings missing his target as Karnage swings past Khan's arm. Khan looks at his
arm to see some blood beginning to form. As Karnage steps back Khan runs forward and
slips the rug off his feet. Kranage lays flat on the floor and sees a sword coming down at
him. Karnage rolls away avoiding contact. While on the floor he gets a glimpse of
Khan's gun. Khan sees where he is going but he doesn't stop him.
"Hee! Hee! Who is doing the joking now?"
Karnage points the gun at Khan while the tiger stands there with confidences.
"I thought pirates were only allowed to use swords."
Karnage stares into Khan's eyes.
"If I followed any rules I wouldn't be the pirate I am today. It is how do you say? A
farewell? So…farewell Shere Khan."
With a pull of the trigger a bang is heard. Karnage stares at his gun to see nothing has
happened but that the back of his neck is slowly growing numb.
"Sorry Karnage, but you missed my earlier introduction on why that gun didn't shoot."
Nanook comes out of the shadows holding a tranquilizer gun.
"Ah Mr. Nanook, I'm glad that you were able to join us."
"Wouldn't miss it for the world."
As his vision slowly becomes double, Karnage takes out a small knife from his robe
pocket and jumps towards Nanook. Nanook grabs a hold of the pirate's wrist and pries
the knife away from him.
"Ah we have a feisty one here."
Karnage body grows limp as Nanook is quick to grab him. Karnage breathing slows
down and he stares into Nanook's eyes.
"No…yo no puedo…"
Nanook lifts Karnage up holding him close. Nanook stares at Karnage in a way to say
sorry.
"Mr. Khan, now that we have Karnage, what…"
In the darkness he can see Khan beginning to disrobe.
"Wait! What are you doing?"
"Mr.Nanook I want you to tie Karnage to his bed."
Nanook not understanding places the unconscious pirate to the bed.
"Khan I don't understand." "Here is some rope. Tie him tight. If he complains tie him
tighter."
The rope is thrown to him as he tries to tie the pirate.
"What is this all about Khan?"
Khan stands before Nanook is his briefs as he walks towards the tied pirate.
"You can't simply kill a pirate with a weapon. The way you kill a pirate is by
destroying their pride."
He stares in disbelief to hear that coming from his boss's mouth.
"You can't be serious!"
Khan suddenly comes to a stop. He turns to face Nanook with a gun.
"Thank you Mr. Nanook for all your help, but your help is no longer needed. I have
transferred the money into your account just as we agreed. Everything has been taken
care of so I suggest you take your money and go."
"We agreed to kidnap Karnage! NOT RAPE HIM!"
Nanook feels a gun bring forced into his temple.
"Let me say this one more time…take your money and go."
Nanook takes one last glimpse of Khan and Karnage as he leaves the tiger to go through
with his tortuous plan . Smiling, Khan locks the door and walks towards the bed.
"Now, where were we?"
