In the clouds above the ocean, the Iron Vulture flew silently through the air, as it's captain looked for something to find and plunder. Captain Don Karnage paced back and forth on the command deck, being stressed out with all his crew's complaining. However, that never ended well when Karnage decided to put a stop to their complaining.

"Why can't they just zip their lips?" Karnage said, going over some of his maps. Then something caught his eye. There, hidden under one of the maps was a crumpled photo of him when he was in highschool. There was also another face on the photo, a young, but very lovely vixen.

"Oh, I remember this one," he sighed, sadly. He picked it up and looked at the girl standing next to him. Jasmine, I miss you. Karnage thought as the memories of his ex-girlfriend played through his head.

"Captain!" came Mad Dog's voice booming over the loud speaker. "We have a plane coming in range of us."

A smile crept across Karnage's face, he was finally going to get to plunder something again. Being very careful with the photo of him and Jasmine, Don Karnage slipped it into his coat pocket.

Not to far off from the Iron Vulture was a lonely passenger plane. The passengers-mostly rich people-were enjoying the service the flight attendants were giving. Suddenly, the plane shook violently, sending passengers and luggage crashing to the the floor. A little girl looked out her window to see some kind of wires wrapped around the wings.

It didn't take long for everyone to know that they were about to be robbed.

Don Karnage and Mad Dog with two other pirates quickly made their entrance. Karnage was the first to enter, once inside, he looked around at all the panic stricken people. Seeing them all trembling in fear put him in a good mood. So Karnage introduced himself.

"My name is Don Karnage, and you are all my new victims, so..." he paused and unsheathed his sword, "...hand over all your rings, wallets and whatever you have in the seats."

Right away, the people did as he said. "Good, you are not as stupid as one would dream," the captain laughed as he walked toward the cockpit. As he passed a row of seats, a lovely black furred vixen caught his attention.

No! It can't be her! Karnage mind shouted as he got a good look at the vixen. Her choice of clothing may have changed, but not her eyes. Those beautiful green eyes shined like gems in the sun.

"Jasmine?" he asked her. The vixen's fear soon turned to confusion as she tried to remember him.

"Donovan, is that you?" Jasmine asked. A little girl vixen sat beside her.

"Mommy? How do you know this man?" she asked her mother. Jasmine looked over at her daughter, who's name was Anna, and said four things.

"We dated in highschool."

By now, Don Karnage was unable to control himself. "We just dated?!" he shouted, causing Jasmine and Anna to jump a bit. "We did more then date."

And for the next ten minutes, Don Karnage and Jasmine argued with one another, totally forgetting about everyone else who was on the plane. The other pirates were now sitting down and helping themselves to the drinks on board. Mad Dog put his feet up on an arm rest and shook his head. How long did he figure he and the others had to wait for Karnage to finish arguing with Jasmine? He hoped for it to be soon.

Another five minutes past and still there was no end to the fight between Karnage and Jasmine. So, Mad Dog tried his best to wait for the fight to end, but the alcohol induced boredom made him more and more reclusive with each moment that passed until, without word or warning, Mad Dog and the other pirates decided to leave. Big surprise that Karnage didn't notice.

"And I'm telling you that it wasn't my fault that my father tried to kill you!" Jasmine shouted. Karnage frowned.

"Then why did you no longer want to see me after that night?" he replied. Jasmine didn't know what to say.

"Just-Just go away and leave me alone." she sighed, trying to calm down after the long heated argument.

"Then I'll go," Karnage said, turned and headed out the same way he came in. In the back of Karnage's mind, there was a voice that screamed at him to stop and turn around to apologize, but after a fight like that, Jasmine would not be willing to listen to him. She had every right to be mad at him, but something was still not right.

During the heated argument, Jasmine said that she was married, but she wasn't wearing her wedding ring. This could mean only two things: Jasmine either was divorced or was lying about being married. This called for a little pirate work.

"Jasmine! You and your daughter are now my captives," he said storming over to them. Karnage reached out and took hold of Jasmine's arm, then dragged her to the exit. With a smile, the captain told them to hang on. In the blink of an eye, Don Karnage, Jasmine and little Anna were flying through the air on one of the cables, then they were safely on board the Iron Vulture.

"You have no right to do this!" Jasmine shouted at Karnage. "This is kidnapping!" The captain paid no attention to her, instead, he had Jasmine and her daughter sent to his room. This sort of behavior was not normal for Karnage and it confused his crew greatly. To the point where they thought he was losing his edge as a feared pirate.

"Mad Dog! See that the two of them are well fed and looked after," Karnage said, retreating to his privet study. "I need to go over something in my study." Mad Dog cocked his head and tried to think of something to say, but nothing came to mind. So he did as he was told.

Karnage flipped through a book of marriage records. He really wanted to find out if Jasmine was single now, because deep down, Don Karnage still loved Jasmine. But what chance did he have of ever winning her love back?

One would say: None.

But he wasn't going to give up so quickly. No! He was going to find out the truth and win the heart of his first true love.

"Mommy, I don't like this place," Anna complained, kicking a trash can across the room.

"I know, but at least we're not in the brig," Jasmine smiled. Her daughter looked at her and smiled as well. Anna felt safe around her mother. And Jasmine felt better when ever she saw her daughter smile.

But Anna had a question. "Why didn't tell me you knew Don Karnage?"

With a sigh, Jasmine answered her daughter's question. "Because I didn't want you to learn a dark secret. One that I have carried for the last five years."

Anna suddenly turned very pale. "He's my daddy, isn't he?" she asked, hoping that her mother would say the opposite. Maybe even lie to her, but instead...

Jasmine broke down, sobbing. "Yes, he is." she said between sobs.
