he wanted to give me a… “ He stopped, looking at the stare he was getting from Dumptruck, Karnage, and a few others.

Mad Dog blushed. “He wanted me to dance with him!” he insisted. “Nothing more!”

Dumptruck opened his mouth to speak, but Karnage cut him off.

“Never mind that now,” Karnage said in relief. “Look! The sun, she sets!”

Sure enough, the sun set below the horizon, and Karnage instantly felt the soft tingling of the Genie’s magic begin to wear off.

“Now!” Karnage vowed. “To avenge myself, my men, but mostly myself, against Baloo and the whole of Cape Suzette!”

The Genie’s puff of smoke returned, for the last time, and Karnage and his men vanished, returning to their ship…

“YEEEAARRGGHHHHHHH!” Karnage’s voice screamed out, as the smoke died down, and his precious ship began to fall.

“What’s happened to my beautiful shiiiiiiip?!!!!” Karnage cried, as the Iron Vulture fell to the crashing waves below…

[SPLASH!]

The Iron Vulture bobbed about on the sea for a few moments, its tail slowly sinking. And then all the Air Pirates, now all fully restored to their former manhood, burst out of the ship’s doors, diving into the water.

“Somehow,” Dumptruck spluttered to Mad Dog, when he rose back to the surface. “I do not think this is how we left the ship, yah?”

Karnage’s face blasted out from beneath the waves, choking on the salty seawater, as he spluttered, his face resembling a canon ready to explode.
