Meet Zaki Morgan

Zaki sat at the edge of her seat, watching the wall. It was a blank wall, and that's not even what caught Cardin's attention. What caught his attention, as he walked past while stuffing the last of a sandwich in his mouth, was the fact that the short-haired girl was sitting in a chair in the middle of the hallway. Looking around, he didn't approach her until he was absolutely certain there was nothing nearby that might serve an explanation.

"Excuse me... are you okay?" He didn't know what else to say.

Turning to look up at him, Zaki smiled. Her smile was flawlessly innocent. "Yes, I'm fine. How are you?"

Cardin blinked, staring in half disbelief. "Marvelous. Is that, uh... is that wall interesting?"

Turning back to the wall, Zaki nodded. "Yes, I believe so. It's just so... white."

"Uh huh..." Cardin turned to walk away, but her voice called him back.

"Oh, and Cardin?"

He turned back just in time to see her standing on the chair suddenly. She grabbed his head and pulled him over to her, nearly knocking him off balance, and then kissed him square on the mouth. Before he could try to figure out what was going on, or try to start enjoying it, she shoved him away and stuck out her tongue.

"Blech! Marmalade." Hopping down to the floor, she bolted away, leaving a stunned Cardin to deal with the chair.


You thought that was all, didn't you? Behold!

Yang Xiao Long soars in on a hang-glider, showers of fire spraying behind her.

Yo, fam!

I didn't get to participate in the previous rounds, so I made this little thing to hold y'all over!

Look, cause

We got one shot to blot this hot spot top lot

Let's go!

I'm gonna hot drop and rock top of the pops

Like a shock better not mock the blonde bomb cock block

Or I sock your block off now talk or break like chalk

I walk like a rock opera sock hop, hip hop unlocked

Knock knock your dead doc, tick tock I clean your clock

I break in like a flame and cause you pain

Causing havoc and scoring fame

I gotta have it, I drink gasoline

A hundred gallon tank goes down the drain

I burst into fiery rain

Drive the weak souls straight insane

All my past foes are long gone slain

But the few who knew to pray to my name

I'm burning Sun, expand my range

Scorch Neptune, mutilate Uranus

It's what made me famous

Scarecrow ain't got no brain

But even he's afraid of flame that's attached to the name

Now everybody proclaim

It's my game

No fire exchanged

Derailed the train

The inferno dame

The mad hatter brawler

Infernal doll and so many crawlin'

You know I'm so tall

And there's nobody at all in this show

Who can call me out you know

Wipe all your doubt

Red white black

And I'm back with the lack of control

So bad that I'm all you need

'Cept I got you on your knees

Now everybody please

Pay homage to the goddess

The golden-haired blondeness

My exploder gauntlets

Make overcooked sausages

Cause I do just what I wanna

Gave my enemies some trauma

Burn the city down with my fire

Torched the whole Roman empire

See the Mercury risen

My namesake takes the horizon

From the ice-blasted Winters

I reduce the world to Cinders

Make firewood from Ironwood

Doesn't matter which witch is good

Straight from the great white North

Your country can't take the awesome I import

I'm crashin' your mustache passion

Mortal combat button mashin'

Symbolic volcanic fashion

Asymmetry colors all clashin'

While I bash and flash-bang flash

Enter rage mode, Yang smash

My firework perks lurk beneath the cirque

A murky berserk Captain Kirk excerpt

I pile on meanwhile defile your speed dial

With vile vials of mile high trial files

Sparking so your Penny's worth a game of Pong

Till they erect a statue of me in Hong Kong

So I'm pleased to defeat you and prove you all wrong

Cause why be a rap god when you can be Xiao Long?


See that coming?
