     Dark Kat was in his building and was furious about what had befallen him. 
He hated for this to happen, he was so sure that he would finally win, but then
Sub-Zero had to turn traitor plus Reptile.  He smiled at the name, Reptile. How he
wanted to punish him and the only way he thought fit was to punish from inside
within his clan.  He had called Noob Saibot to his chamber.  Noob Saibot
approached.  
     "Noob Saibot," Dark Kat said with glee.  "I do not tolerate failure."
     "I have never failed you!," Noob protested defensively
     "You have served me well," Dark Kat said assuringly.  "Earn my favor. 
Return a hero on this task that I am giving you."
     "How so?," Noob Saibot asked.
     "Reptile has turned traitor against me. There's only punishment for this:
death.  I want you to cover yourself with a cloak and go and kill him," Dark Kat
said. Noob Saibot bowed and then left.
******************************************************************
     Reptile was taking refuge in the Megakat Swamp. He had constructed a
tent out of leaves and logs in which he lived. He lived in the swamp because of the
influence of it by the reptilian blood in him.  Suddenly he heard a noise behind him
and he turned around to discover a figure, wearing a dark black cloak covering his
face. 
     The dark figure was Noob Saibot but Reptile was unaware of that.  Reptile
scared of the unknown kat, transformed into his reptilian form and tried to
disappear. But the dark figure grabbed him by the neck  and brought him back 
to his regular form.  Reptile struggled to get free and then kicked Noob across the
face.  He tried to kick more but Noob ducked.  Reptile became frustrated and did
some high cuts, but Noob just blocked them.  He pulled back and hissed at Noob,
which in return, made Noob just chuckle.  This infuriated Reptile and jumped at
Noob, but Noob slide into the ground and disappeared, making Reptile just grab at
air.  Noob Saibot appeared behind Reptile and when Reptile looked back, Noob hit
him hard across the face.  Reptile tries some punches but Noob grabbed his right 
hand and squeezed hard. He could feel the bones cracking in his grip.  Then with
his other hand, Noob hit Reptile hard in the stomach, then picked him up and
threw him on the floor.  
     Noob circled him and stood over him, like death.  He leaned down and
grabbed Reptile by the neck, cutting off his air. Reptile grabbed onto the vice but
couldn't loosen it, Noob punched Reptile and then released.  He did a flip and lands
with Reptile's head between his feet, then with one swift movement, he snapped
Reptile's neck. Killing him instantly.  
******************************************************************
     After Noob Saibot returned from his task, Sub-Zero had learned of what
had happened and was furious. Not only did Dark Kat have Noob kill one of his
comrades, but Sub-Zero's friend as well.  He marched up to Dark Kat's chair,
without even asking permission to approach.  
     "You ARE mad," Sub-Zero said furiously.
     "Perhaps I am," Dark Kat, turning his chair around to face him.  "But if so,
my madness also comes with a gift."
     "What gift-stupidity?," Sub-Zero mockingly asked.
     "Wisdom, Sub-Zero.  The ability to understand who my enemies are and
what I must do," Dark Kat calmly stated, still grinning at Sub-Zero.  "I know my
method of how I preach to my warriors.  To know your enemy, find his weakness,
exploit it.  It's a smart move, isn't it?  Caring...compassion..friendship! It's going to
kill all of you who side with the SWAT Kats, including them."
     "Your downfall will come by the joining of all of those who hate you,"
Sub-Zero said through clenched teeth, his fists tight.
     Dark Kat, trembled sarcastically.  "*Consumed* by your passion to see me
gone. So remember, Sub-Zero, too much desire can kill," he said and grinned
really big. 
     Sub-Zero stormed off furious. Leaving Dark Kat smiling, he knew exactly
what to do next.
