As Khan closes his doors he is surprised to hear his intercom go off.

"I thought I told her no calls."

He walks towards the intercom to accept the call.

"Yes?"

"Sorry Mr.Khan, but you have an urgent call from the mayor."

More annoyed then angry he accepts the call.

"Yes this is Khan."

A petite but angry voice replies.

"Khan! What have you done?!"

"Mayor with all do respect I advise you to deal with matters that only you can handle."

"Wha…How dare you! You have caused a war that will endanger all who live in Cape

Suzette! The power of your company can't save you now! Nobody can save you! You

will fall Khan, and I will see to it that you do!"

Khan snarls and slams the phone. Alone he looks out his floor to ceiling windows to see

the hundreds of pirate ships headed towards Cape Suzette.

"I assure you I will not lose. No matter what the cost…I refuse to lose!"

He slowly glances around his office observing every little detail. Remembering all his

struggles to be the best. He was on top of the world, but now the whole world is against

him. Why? After everything he has done for them. He helped build this city. He helped

make it what it is today. Now everything is going to be taken from him.

"Why?"

He slowly turns to face the doors for his room.

"Because of him? The one who stole and robbed this city. The one who once nearly

destroyed this city? Why would they favor him? Why would they do whatever

necessary to protect him? WHY?!"

He runs towards his room and slams his doors open.

"ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!!"

He stares to find the doctor bleeding on the floor.

"How?"

He runs and grabs the dying doctor by the collar.

"Where is he? Where's Karnage?!"

The doctor painfully points towards a floor vent slightly uncovered.

"Karnage..."

A scream is heard at the receptionist area. Khan drops the doctor and quickly heads in

the direction of the screams. As soon as he opens the doors he finds his missing pirate

holding and envelope knife pressed against his secretary's neck.

"What a clever pirate. Stop this nonsense and let her go. This is between you and I."

While Khan kept staring at Karnage he noticed something drastically different. Whatever

kindness he had in his eyes were gone.

"Karnage NO!"

He deeply embeds the knife into her throat and let her drop. The woman lays there as her

blood drains from her wound as Karnage remains motionless. Khan was actually scared

even though he did a great job by not showing it. Karnage was a great pirate, but had

feelings. Those feelings would hold him back from being the best. With feelings gone

now he IS the best. Karnage says nothing but stares at the tiger who nearky destroyed

him.

"So, do you plan to kill me?"

Khan noticed the even though Karnage still had his borrowed pajamas there were some

added accessories.

"I see you decided to borrow some of very rare and may I say expensive weapons."

Wearing a belt with two swords attached he unhooks one and throws it to Khan. He

releases one for himself. Khan speechless stares at the pirate trying to figure out what he

is up to.

"I will show you what a true pirate is made of."

Without another word Karnage lunges at full force, balanced, and hate to create a battle

to end ALL battles!
