Kit leads the way to the dungeons. The stench of urine fills the room. There are clear

blood stains all over the walls and the floors . In some cells you could see the

decomposed bodies of previous prisoners. Kit covers his nose in a desperate attempt to

block the nauseating smells.

"These dungeons have changed a whole lot since we've been down here aye Little

Britches?"

Baloo looks in disgust as he passes a body covered in maggots. Nanook who is used to

these types of situations focuses his attention to finding any surviving prisoners.

"Baloo? Do you think any of them are still ali…(UMPH!)"

Kit bumps right into Nanook who has suddenly stopped.

"I think someone is coming."

They all move back to see a pair of panthers passing by.

"Hey! What time is it?"

"I think about a quarter to six. Why?"

The other panther pulls out a gun to check for any remaining bullets.

"The boss said to get the prisoners ready for execution by six."

"Do you think he'll be done with Karnage by then?

"I don't know? Let's head out and find Nanook and ask him what's up."

The panthers leave as the four men continue their way to the dungeon.

"Baloo what are we going to do? It's a quarter to six. We won't find them in time."

Nanook stares at where the panthers walked out.

"I got a plan."

"Oh gents!"

The panthers turn around to see Nanook.

"Oh Nanook! We were just trying to find you."

"Yes Yes! What do you want?"

"Oh uh…oh yea! The prisoners. What do you want us to do to them?"

"Before anything show me where you are keeping them."

"OH! Right Sir! Right this way."

Tha panthers lead the way as Nanook checks back to give Baloo, Kit, and Jock the clear

to follow. Down several halls and corridors they finally reach the prisoners.

"Here they are Sir."

Nanook takes time to view the situation. Several pirates are dead from their wounds,

others are dying, and some were just ok.

"Why haven't these men receive any sort of medical attention!?"

Both panthers stare at each other in disbelief.

"But Sir, Kahn wants them all dead. Why would we bother to cure them?"

Nanook stares into the cells to see that several pirates were trying to help each other

survive.

"You're the one that stuck us in here!"

Mad Dog runs up to the bars hoping to grab Nanook. Nanook stares at Mad Dog with a

look of sadness.

"I'm sorry. I will make it up to you, I promise."

With that Nanook back kicks hitting one of the panthers.

"NANOOK! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"

The panther quickly draws his gun just to have it grabbed by Nanook. Nanook flips the

gun to have it facing the panther.

"Give me the key."

The panther tries to stay his ground but has a gun pulled to his forehead.

"Is a key really worth losing your life?"

The panther reaches into his pocket and hands over the key.

Nanook takes the key happily and throws it to Kit.

"You know what to do."

Kit takes the key with Jock and quickly run to release the prisoners. The pirates run out

carrying the wounded and leaving the dead while some go to retrieve their lost weapons.

Nanook takes his gun and forces the panthers into the cell.

"Get in!"

They go in and angrily stare at Nanook.

"Khan will have your head for this!"

Nanook closes the cell door and approaches the pirates.

"Ok this is the plan…"

Without a word Nanook is pulled by the collar of his shirt.

"Now vait justa minute! Ve don't listen to anyone BUT the captain! Besides your vith

Khan!"

Dumptruck lifts Nanook and pushes him against the wall.

"You killed our friends, destroyed our ship, and left us for dead! No vay are ve taking

orders from you!"

Kit and Baloo stare at each other nervously as the pirates begin to riot. Suddenly there is

a voice of reason.

"STOP!"

Everyone stops to stare at the usually dead silent Scottish Terrier now taking the

leadership position.

"Stop pirates! We are pirates are we not?"

Dumptruck drops Nanook to hear what his friend has to say.

"Khan is trying to kill us off and these men came to my aid as well as yours. If we do not

join them then this will be our downfall. We as pirates must fight to survive. So I ask

you not only as pirates, but as my friends to join us and fight Khan and his men to ensure

our survival. Not only our survival as pirates but our survival as AIR PIRATES!!"

The pirates lift up their swords and guns and cheer Scotty on. Baloo look at the

men and turns to leave.

"So what are we waiting for? We got us a tiger to catch!"
