This story is dedicated to my Grandfather, who was one of the many Australian soldiers who helped expel the Japanese from New Guinea. This ones for you Grandpa! RED ALERT Prologue The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Alpha’ August 2nd 2:00 am On the Bridge of the command ship, Fleet Commander Shran watched the hologram in front of him. The command ship “Alpha” was approximately 500 feet high and over 200 feet wide. It’s red and Black paint made it a fierce sight. The whole ship looked like a Pyramid with a hoop around the middle. There was another ship next to the ‘Alpha’, it was the ‘Omega’, similar to the ‘Alpha’ but not as impressive. Behind them were about six other pyramids. The fleet commander looked at the hologram of the world they were about to conquer, in front of him. The whole crew were excited, for the discovery of this new planet was a joyous occasion. The Aions were a race of evolved wolfs. There hind legs still bent back like their four legged ancestors, but there paws were different with four fingers on each paw, each finger held a deadly retractable claw witch was a Aion’s primary weapon. The Aion’s are a worrier race, and the purpose of a worrier is to fight. Shran’s job, being the Fleet Commander, was to command and conquer. The Aion Empire conceited of seven planets, all which had contained intelligent life forms, who had passed the industrial stage. Now the empire reached out for an eight planet, and this one would do nicely. The cameras had shown that this civilisation was at a pro atomic age, and was worthy of a decent fight. He singled away the hologram and looked out the view window at the real planet in front of him. “Soon.” He said. “Soon.” Megakat City August 2nd 9:00 am It was a beautiful morning in Megakat City. The sun shone brightly, nothing stirred in the cities dark under belly, Commander Feral was going over the days business, the Deputy Mayor was writing the Mayors presentation, the salvage yard was just opening up, and here and there, shops were opening. No one threatened the city today. Either every one was in Faroe Lake or just couldn’t be bothered getting up and trying to piss every one off. Besides that, the city was very much quite. No one on the other hand, could be prepared for the following events that would take place. CHAPTER 1 - THE PLANS The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Alpha’ August 2nd 11:00 am As Fleet Commander Shran entered the room, the soldiers in the room all stood up and saluted him. He gave the order that made them all resume their work on the bridge of the vessel. A tall wolf approached the Commander. “Fleet Commander Shran.” He said, saluting him by sticking his arm out in front of him on an angle. The commander saluted back. “Report Lt. Commander Thranx.” He said. The Lt. Commander dropped his arm, and read out the report in his paw. “Both the Squadron’s of the Alpha, and the Omega are ready to go. The other squadrons stand ready to invade other cites.” Shran smiled. “Excellent.” He said. “Proceed with Pre-invasion manoeuvres.” Thranx saluted then walked of to transmit the Fleet Commanders orders. The two gigantic ships prepared to launch their attacks on the two major land areas of the planet. Their first attack would be directed at the major metropolitan areas. Megakat City Salvage Yard August 2nd 1:00 pm Chance Furlong, and Jake Clarwson were both working on the Turbo Kat, their pride and joy. They were giving the jet a re fuelling, and a new coat of paint. “Slow day huh buddy?” Chance said, as he nearly knocked over a paint can. “you can say that again.” Jake said, as he shock his head at Chance. Just then, a ding filled the room. Jake walked over and pulled out the pipe that was re fuelling the Turbo Kat. “When the paints dry, we’ll take her out for a test run in the canyon, to test some new missiles.” Chacne smiled from were he was on the wing. “Finally.” He said. “Some action.” Little did Chance know, that he was going to get just that..... CHAPTER 2 - THE INVASION Enforcer Headquarters August 2nd 1:45 p.m. Commander Ulysses Feral was going over the paper work at Enforcer Headquarters. He was going through some papers, he came to a piece of paper reading...... “Request permission to scrap code single ‘Red Alert’” Feral looked at the message and thought about it. Red Alert was the code name for a full scale interplanetary invasion. It had been created ever science that water pirate Mutalor showed up. Just Incas anything like this ever happened. He picked up a read stamp, and stamped the words, ‘DENIED’, on the request. The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Alpha’ August 2nd 3:10 p.m. Thranax approached the Fleet Commander. Saluting him, he reported the situation of the invasion fleet. “All stands ready Fleet Commander.” He said. Shran smiled. “Excellent.” He said. “Commander....?” Thranax asked. “CRUSH THEM!!” MASA Radar Station August 2nd 3:15 p.m. The kat at the radar stirred bleakly at the screen in front of him. He had to be reading this wrong. He blinked again to make sure he had seen what he’d seen. | | <==== | <==== ------------|------------------ | | 00903452 He looked at the screen at the two UFO’s coming towards Megakat City at a very fast speed. He turned away to fill up his coffee mug, but when he turned back, he dropped his coffee mug, letting the coffee spill all over the carpeted floor. | <==== <==== <= | <==== <===== | <====== <=== ------------|------------<== <=== | <======= <==== | 00903452 There were more behind those two, and more after that lot. This was a whole convention. Megakat City Park August 2nd 3:30 p.m. Callie Briggs sat on the bench after having her afternoon jug. She was puffed after running across nearly the whole park, and from City hall. She looked up at the orange sky as the sun was setting, showing the end of the day. She let her head fall back as she socked in the atmosphere. Life was just perfect the way it was. Suddenly she was brought back to reality by an unearthly scream from the sky. Hundreds of Aion Tiger fighters shrieked out of the darkening sky. These fighters were like nothing Callie had ever seen. They were red and black, and had an oval shape about them, being flat on the bottom, and round on the top. The front of the ships were sleek and round, with a vertical strip of black on the front, and blue flame was shooting out the back of them. The fighters then dived on the city, strafing anyone, and anything in their paths. Lasers began to shred and rip up the ground very near to were Callie was sitting. She dived of the park bench, seconds before it was disintegrated under a hail of laser fire. She pulled out her communicator as she began running back to city hall. Kats were running every were, screaming. “If this isn’t a SWAT Kat emergency.” She said, pressing the button. “I’ll quit my job.” She ran even faster, when a fighter tried to strafe her. She had to get back to city hall, if there was anything left of it. Megakat City Salvage yard August 2nd 3:31 p.m. Chance and Jake were just about ready to go out on there test run, when the alarm began to scream. “What now?” Chance complained, as Jake ran over and pressed the receiver. “Yes Miss Briggs?” He said. His right eye brow went up slightly as he heard what sounded like kats screaming, and laser fire in the back ground. “SWAT Kats!!” Callie screamed back from were ever she was. “Megakat City is under attack from some sort of fighters....” There was a loud explosion. And the line went dead. “CALLIE?!” They both screamed. Grabbing their helmets, they raced towards the Turbo kat, and shot off to once again save the city from distraction. Enforcer Headquarters August 2nd 3:45 p.m. “Sire?” The Captain Millard asked Feral. Feral just looked outside as he saw the ships descend upon the city and start firing. “Transmit, Red Alert.” Was all he said. Sirens were screaming out loud, red lights were flashing as every pilot in the EAF (Enforcer Air Force) was scrambling to get into the air to deal with the unknown invader. One by one, the jets came up to the runway and began to shot of into the sky. Luckily, the invaders had attacked Megakat International thinking that was the air force of this planet. When they did realise that they had attacked the wrong spot, every air craft, weather it be a chopper or jet was in the air, preparing to engage. AA guns from the runway of Enforcer Headquarters began to open up as the alien fighters came in range. “This is Gold leader.” Felina Feral said into her mike. “Gold squadron, engage the enemy.” The fighters let lose with laser fire, in which the Enforcers retaliated by firing back. Felina shot down one, and her squadron swung about to have another go. “Use missiles this time.” She said. As the alien fighters came back for another go, the Enforcers let fly a volley of missiles. The aliens were slow to respond. They didn’t even see the missiles until it was too late, they tried to dodge them, but the missiles were too fast for them. All the missiles took out their targets and all of the targeted fighters tumbled out of the sky. Just then, the jet to her right exploded in a fire ball. She jerked her head around to see two fighters had snuck up on her squadron from behind. “Evasive manoeuvres!” She screamed into her mike. The whole squadron swung away and Felina did a loop the loop on the enemy fighter, and came up from behind. She fired a burst of laser, and the fighter began to trail smoke, then plunged out of the sky. It’s partner flew off. She looked around to see if there were any other fighters near her. Suddenly there was a burst of laser firing past her. She jerked her head to the left to see five fighters had ganged up on her. “Unfair!” Felina growled as she did a barrel role to escape their fire. The five fighters then exploded and tumbled out of the sky. Felina turned to see a formula jet. “The SWAT Kats!” She exclaimed, as the Turbo Kat swung off to find more fighters. “Nice shoot’n Razor.” T Bone said. “Think Felina’s impressed. “She outa be.” Razor said. “We just saved her tail.” The Turbo Kat came round to face some more fighters. “Think you can handle them buddy?” T Bone said with a smile. Razor smiled back. “Buzz saw missiles, deployed.” He shouted as he let lose twenty missiles, they all took out their targets. “Bingo.” Razor screamed as the fighters, wingless, fell out of the sky. More just joined the scene. “Kats Alive.” T Bone cried out as he swung the jet away just in time to avoid the laser fire. “Match head missiles, deployed.” Razor said, as he fired another round of missiles out. The fighters were all taken out. “Holy Kats.” T Bone cried out. “How many of these things are there?” More fighters were approaching. “Guess were going to have to try out my new missiles anyway.” He pressed some things on his control panel. “Sonic Missile’s deployed.” Five missiles popped out from beneath the jet, and speed towards a group of thirty fighters. When they were about five meters away from the fighters, they exploded, sending out a burst of sonic energy. The fighters were ripped apart from the sonic force, and the bits and pieces of what ever was left fell to the ground. “Well, that worked.” Razor said, putting on a pair of red goggles. “What’s happening back their buddy.” T Bone demanded. “Were going to have to use the cement machine gun T Bone.” Razor said. “Were all out of missiles.” The cement machine gun began firing away as the fighters started shooting in their direction. The cement covered the view screen of the fighters, preventing them from seeing anything, and they either crashed into each other, or crashed into a building. “Were out of the game.” Razor said, as he fired the last cement slug. “Were out off ammo.” “Well, those guys don’t want to let us go.” T Bone said, as he dodged laser fire.” “Then use the mega laser to blast a gap so we can get though.” The nose of the jet split apart and the great mega laser spoke, as it went though three fighters. The others got the message and disengage. In fact they all designed. The fighters were all leaving. The SWAT Kats watched as all the fighters turned tail, and fled. “What the?!” T Bone cried out as the last fighter disappeared. “I don’t get it.” He said. “They had us on the ropes, why did they leave?” “Beats the hell out of me buddy.” Razor said. “But how about we head back to the hanger and re flue, before they come back for another go.” With that, the Turbo kat swung about, and shot off back to the salvage yard. The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Alpha’ August 2nd 4:12 p.m. Fleet Commander Shran looked at the hologram of the planet in front of him. They had launched the attack nearly an hour ago, and already his troops were in position. Just then Thranax approached him. He saluted, then proceeded with his report. “The fighter squadrons have successfully occupied the enemy while our ground units managed to establish a foot hold. Some of our troops are already engaged in combat, but not to any extent.” “What about casualties?” Shran demanded. “Causalities are very light Fleet Commander.” Thranax reported. “However, we lost allot of fighters at this city here called....Megakat.” He brought up a hologram of the area were the city was located. Our troops are already deployed near the city, and are advancing with the usual three pronged attacked. It should fall to us with ease.” Shran smiled. “Excellent.” He said. “Report back to me in two hours.” “It shall be done.” He saluted Shran, and walked off. Other Fleet Commanders had experienced great military resistance before on other planets, but they had all been crushed. Shran once again called up the map of the city called Megakat, and studied it very closely. He have to pay special attention to that one. Enforcer Headquarters August 2nd 4:25 p.m. Felina Feral was pissed off. She had lost her entire squadron, and her own jet was pretty banged up. But what really gave her the shits was the fact when she first took of, she saw lots of enforcer jets and helicopters taking to the sky to fight the alien invaders. Now, she didn’t see half as many return. What ever thoses things were, they had sure givin the EAF a hard pounding. Her eyes focused in on the run way as she came in for a landing. She swore when she saw smoking rumble were the AA guns had been. The streets below were filled with the wreckage of jets, choppers, and aline fighters. The majority of the wrecks below were Enforcer propity. The whole city was smoking, and on fire. If thoses aliens lanuched another air assulat, the city would be finished. Felina was joulted as the tieres of her jet tunched down, she put on the breakes, and came to a halt. As she opened the canopy, she saw other enforcer choppers, and jets, flying towrds the harbour. Some of the air units were instructed to land on the sir craft cairers and head up and down the coast, so the aliens wouldn’t have the whole air force sitting in one basket so distroy. She saw her uncle walking over to her. When she jumped down, he hugged her, glad that she was alright. “Lets get going Felina.” He said. “Were relocating our command base to Anakat Island. If thoses aliens attack Enforcer Headquarters agian, were finished.” She ran across the runway with her uncle as they headed down stairs. When they were getting into Feral’s car, she saw tanks, howitzers, mechanized inantry, and troops all being shipped out. “Were are they all going Uncle?” She asked. Feral started up the car. “Radar shows that a large ammount of UFO’s tuching down, at three percific points outside the city. Were going to investegate.” The car pulled out of Enforcer Headquarters, and drove down the street. “We think that the air assult on the city was a deversion, so that they could land a ground assult to capture the city. Not only that, but we’ve recived reports from all over the world, their being attacked.” Felina got butterflies in her stumach. She had gone from pissed off to shit sceared. This wasn’t just a battle, this was war. CHAPTER 3 - AFTERMATH Outside City Hall August 2nd 5:01pm Callie Briggs slowly got to her feet. She was talking to the SWAT Kats when a stray shot had lnaded right next to her. She was blown head over heals and landed in a shop, well that’s were she woke up anyway. She looked about her, to see kats running every were histerically. She walked outside, and looked up into he sky. The invaders had gone. But there was a hell of alot of wreckage lying about. Some of them were Enforcer jets, and choppers, and others were the alien figthers. She looked up at city hall, and breathed a sigh of relefe to see it still standing. However, it had got the shit, shot out of it. Parts of the building were burnig, and others were singed scorch marks of laser fire, and big chunks of the building had been shot out. She ran inside the building, and took the stairs, not wanting to tempt fate by taking the elevator. When she reached the top, she opened the door, to see Mayor Manx frantically, with his favorite set of glof clubs, kicking the elevator door. “Blast it, what is taking you so long?!” He muttered under his breath. “Mayor Manx,” Callie said. “I don’t think that’s such a good idea.” Manx spun around to see Callie. “Oh Callie.” He said. “Thank goddness your here.” He ran over to her. “You have to make this stop, make it all go away. Callie rolled her eyes. “I can’t do that Mayor.” She said. “WHAT?!” Manx screamed. “What do you think you get paid for.” “Listen Mayor.” Callie said. “Commander Feral has already taken care of the problem, the fighters are all gone.” Manx shoke his head. “No there not.” He wimmpered. “I just got a call from Feral saying that their lanuching an attack against my city by the ground. He told me to get down the docks as fast as I can to go over to Anakata Island.” Callie was shocked. The aliens hadn’t left, they were coming right for them. She began to walk towrds the office. “I’ll call Feral to let him know I’m alright.” Manx’s eyes grew wide. “Don’t go in there Callie.” He cried out. Callie opened the door, and neraly fell one hundered feet to her death, as she realised that the whole of the Mayor’s office had been distroyed. She looked about at the broken masonry and at the partly burining city. Closing the door, she grabed Manx by the arm, and lead him down the stairs. She wasn’t thinking about the SWAT kats at this point in time, what she was thinking about was getting to Anakata Island, before she, and the Mayor ended up like his office. On top of the ruined MBC (Megakat Broadcasting Company) building August 2nd 5:05 pm Ann Gora and her camerakat, Johnny borded the only remaining chopper that belonged to the station. Ann, for the second time in her life, was going live looking like something the kat dragged in. Her hair was all over the place, and her dress was torn, and Johnny had a large cut across his left arm, so he was having a difficulte time holding up the camera with one arm. Ann brushed her hiar with her fingers, then looked at the camera. “Were on the air.” Johnny said. “This is Ann Gora of Katseye News.” She said, a small hit of fear was in her voice. “As you all know by now, about over an hour ago, Megakat City was invaded by aliens from deep space. With the combined effort from the SWAT kats, and the Enforcers, they managed to drive away the aliens.” She spoke more softly now. “However, the aliens have launched a ground assult on the city. Even now, as I speak, the Enforcers are now engaging the aliens trying to throw back their assulte.” The Katseye news chopper flew out of the city, and flew over the battle filed. It was a chotic site. The Enforcers were despratly trying to hold their ground agaisnt the aliens. The aliens had tanks of their own. They had a middle section, but they had for seprete tracts, when one looked down on them, they looked like an ‘X’, designed for driving over any taraine. Monted on the turet was a ten foot long 120mm wide gun barrewl. Out of this barrewl came pure plasma. Plasma vs shells is a little bit uneven. The alien troops had paw held laser rifles, which the Enforcers could just match with machine guns. Johnny focused in on one of the aline soliders. They were wolfs, wearing black army helmets, they didn’t have any sort of foot wear, and they wore a black uniform with red strips on it. “As you can see.” Ann siad. “The aliens seem to have the Enforcers pinned down. Even as this reporter speakes, the Enforcers are losing ground. Which makes us all wonder, were are the SWAT Kats?” Ann, Johnny, and the piolet, didn’t have time to conomplate that, because they were blasted out of the sky by laser fire. The chopper, with out it’s tail, did a few spins, and crashed landed right behind the enamy lines. Ann and Johnny both got up, coughing. They took a few steps away from the chopper, and had laser guns pointed at them. The aliens shouted something at them, but the katseye news crew couldn’t understand what they were saying, because it sounded like growling, and barking. Putting their paws in the air, they were escorted away. Feral shock his head in disgust as he watched the Katseye news chopper crash out of site behind the enamy lines. That’s what you get for trying to be the best, he thought bitterly. However, he had other thing on his mind right now. Like the battle he was fighting. The Wolfs had hit him pretty hard. He had three tanks left in his company, three tanks and a combat group of infantry. He didn’t know how many tanks other companys had left but that’s all that stood between The aliens and Megakat City from his position. He looked through his binoculars at the advancing enamy. “That one, Tony.” He said quitely, pointing towrds the lead tank. “Affermite.” The driver said. “Load armor percing.” “Loading.” Grorge, the gunner, said, as he pulled the black-tipped round out of the ammunition rack, loaded two into the 10 centemeter guns, closing both breeches. Gorge traversed the turret a few degrees, so it bore on the leed alien tank. He squeezed the triger. The cannons roared as the two shells were propeled forward. Feral looked though his benoculars to see the tank go up in flames. “Hit!” He cried out. The hatch of the tank flew open, and wolfs began to bail out. The enforcer troops opened fired on them. “Back!” Feral called down to Tony. If those wolf tanks spoted you, you were dead faster than you could react if they fired. One of the wolf tanks turned towards were Feral was. Tony slamed the tank in revers and it julted down the slope of the hill. The burst of plasma from the tank exsploded just in front of Ferals tank. Tony then moved the tank forward a little so that they could fire again. “Fire!” Feral ordered, Gorge loaded two more AP shells, and landed them right in the middle of the alien tank, just below the turret. The wolf tank stopped. They’ll have to take the driver out with a spoon. Feral thought. The hatch flipped open, and two wolfs bailed out. The tanks machine guns took care of them. The other two tanks in Ferals company were doing just fine by themselves. The one belonging to Johnson knocked one tank off it’s treads, and it swered of the road and crashed into the ditch. Then some enforcers ran forward and tossed a granade inside. The small blast was followed by an even bigger one, as the equipment inside exploded. “Back again.” Feral ordered. Plasma burst were exploding all around him. Just then, two wolf tanks exploded. Feral looked up in the sky. “A chopper!” He cried out. When the Wolfs frist invaded, their fighters had taken a dreadful toll on the EAF’s helichopters. However, this pilot had still got his chopper in the air and still had the nerve to fly it right down the Wolf’s throats. The wolf tanks returned fire, but the chopper flew off with out being shot down. Suddenly, a laser blast flew past his ear. The wolfs were bringing forward their troops, and using them to take out the tanks. Copy kats, Feral thought. What ever trick you managed to pull off, the Wolfs would just spin it around, and throw it right back at you. Altough one laster blast couldn’t distroy a tank, but enough of them hitting the same spot more than once would case some damage. “Get us out of here!” Feral said to Tony. Ferals tank began to move backwards down the hill, as the Enforcer ground troops began to open fire on the wolf troops. Just then, two wolf tanks appered over the hill. Feral gulped. He was still not below the hill line, and one of the tanks turned a gun in his direction. He looked up to the sky, parying for another chopper. However, God only lives in so few machines. It all seemed like slow motion as the turet fired. Feral felt the mother of all kicks in the ass. His trusty tank, which had served him well, since the Wolfs landed, died under him in an explosion of plasma. Smoke began to rise up threw the vents. “Out, out OUT!!” Feral screamed, as he practicaly fell out. Only two 30mm sheets of metal, and the wieght of a full engine kept the plasma blast out of the driving compartment. Toney and Groge all both bailed out of the doomed tank. They both knew once the fire reached the ammunition, there were going to be alot of fire works. Laser fire flew threw the air, looking for the survivers of the Enforcer tank. Feral flattened himself on the ground and covered his head with his paws, as he hid in the tall grass. The fire finaly reached the ammunition and there was a huge explosion as all the ammunition went off at them same time. Another burst of plasma slammed into the tank, and it went up with a roar. The wolf tanks began to move forwad. Feral screamed into his mike. “Johnson, Parker!” He screamed. “Move your tanks back, NOW!” He watched as the two remaining tanks stoped firing, and began to move back. He got up, and nearly bumbed into Gorge, and Tony. “Good to see you sir.” Tony said, with a browd grin on his dirty brown fury face. They all hit the ground when they heard an explosion. They all turned to see another wolf tank go up in flames. the ground troops had brought out the rocket launchers. “We’re sure lucky we didn’t blow up when we were hit.” Feral said. Gorge suprised him, by laughing. “Lucky, hell sir.” He chuckled. “We were nearly dry on petrol. We probably on had enough left for a kilometer or two.” “Oh.” Feral siad, and began to laugh. Altough he could see nothing funny about the whole situatuion. He would have had to of fought what had to be the most successful small-unit actions ever, against the wolfs, only to result in the final distruction of his tank company. How much more could the Enforcers take, how long before there won’t be any Enforcers left. Feral saw that the Wolf infantry had overrun his small combat group of Enforcers, they were moving about serching for any survivors. Feral clutched his semi-automatic pistol in his right hand, and Gorge, and Tony both had M-16 machine guns, but they were too far out of range to be any good. “Now what sir?” Tony asked him. Feral looked at the advancing Wolf tanks, then he turned back to his two friends. “We get out of this mess, if we can.” The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Alpha’ August 2nd 5:23 pm Fleet Commander Shran turned his head slightly as the doors to the bridge hissed open. Five soliders walked in esscorting two of the planets natives, a male, and a female. They were taken to Shran, and a wolf stepped forward, who was the group leader. “Fleet Commander.” He said. “I bring you two POW’s from the planet. It appers that they are media, and would be very useful in properganda.” Shran raised an eye brow. He fliped down a small mike from his helmet. “I am Fleet Commander Shran, of the mighty Aion Empier.” He lowered his vioce. “And who, are you two?” The femlae spoke up. “I’m Ann Gora of Katseye News, and this is my camrakat Johnny.” Shran’s eyes went back and forth between them. “Do you speak to your kind?” Shran asked. Ann nodded. “Every kat in the city watches me.” One corner of Shran’s mouth went up slightly. “You.” He said to Johnny. “Dose that thing work?” Johnny nodded. “I want to send a message to the inhabitents of this planet.” CHAPTER 4 - RETALIATION Megakat City Salvage Yard. August 2nd 5:29 pm “...And so all your kind has to do, is lay down your arms, and surrender to me, Fleet Commander Shran.” The Fleet Commander was speaking to the whole city, but the citizens had all fled the city when the invasion began, so nobody was listening to a word he said, except for two grease monkeys. “Dose that over sized fur ball really think were just going to lay down our arms that easyly?” T Bone said, as they finished loading the last missile onto the Turbo Kat “Hay have you seen the fire power this guys dishing out!” Razor said, climbing into the cockpit. “With the way he’s been beating back the Enforcers, he has the right to say those things.” T Bone then got in the canopy with Razor. “Well I hope this plan of yours works buddy.” He said. “I don’t want to end up like most of those Enforcer pilots.” With that, the jet took off, for the front line. U.S.S. Macranisha 11 km out from Megakat City August 2nd 5:35 pm Felina Feral got in her jet, and flew off for the front line. Her mission was simple enough. Delay the Wolf tanks long enough for the Enforcers to hold their postion. She flew over the partly distroyed city, and out to the battle field. It was Chaos below her. The Enforcers were falling back so fast that the Wolfs would probably reach the city by tomorrow. She swung around, and dived on the biggest conecntraion of Wolfs. She let go two napam missiles. “DIE SCUM!!” She screamed as the missiles impacted into the earth send forth a wave of flame that consumed the Wolfs. Satisfied with what she accomplished she then flew off for the Aircraft carrier. Just then, she saw two objects that made her smile. Wolf fighters. She swung back to face them. The wolf fighters had longer range than Enforcer jets, but that didn’t stop her from having a good time. She dodged their laser fire, and returned with accuacy. One of the fighters tumbled out of the sky. However, the second was not as stupid as it’s partner, it managed to dodge everything that Felina threw at it. Just then it fliped around, and was behind Felina. “What the..?!” She said, as she looked out the back just in time to see it fire at her. She swore very lowdly as she realised she could not shake the fighter. Once a wolf fighter had you in his sights, you couldn’t save your self. The fighter behind Felina exploded, and she saw the Turbo Kat swing past. She smiled as she saw it head off to the front line. “Thanks again, SWAT Kats.” She said. “Do you any anywere where we can cause some seriuos damadge buddy?” T Bone said, observing the battle down below. “Yea.” Raozr said. “Prepare the Mega Laser. We’re going to straff thoses tanks down there.” “Lets do it.” T Bone said, as he brought the jet into a dive. The nose of the jet split appart and the deadly laser fightered apon the advancing Wolf tanks. There were a number a tremendous explosions as one by one, the tanks blew up in a fire ball of fury. “There.” Razor said, as T Bone brought the jet out of the straffing run. “That should give the Wolfs something to think about, exspecialy Shran.” Lt. Commander David Steel watched as the SWAT Kats flew of. He lowered his binoculars and muttered what sounded like thanks suckers. If this were any other situation he would have cursed them for interferaing, but now, he was incarge of a small army, and his job was to reple the invaders. His command post was falling the fastest, not due to lack of equipment, or leadrer ship skills, but because the Wolfs had began a full attack on his scetion. Now the SWAT Kats had eased up the attack and David Steel was going to take advantage of this oppertunity. “Full attack.” Steel ordered. “Fire the Howitzers then send in the Mech. Infantery.” What evers left we can easyly over come.” “Yes sir.” The kat standing next to him said. The next second, the dull gray couloured sky was set aglow by the yellow coloured muzzle flashes packed together. The 10 cm howitzers and the 90mm antiaircraft cannons pressed into service as field guns roated again and again, as fast as their crews could keep the shells coming. The Wolf tanks, and troops wer suddenly caught in a trap, they couldn’t advance and they coudln’t retreate, some tried to fight back, but couldn’t, and preished under a hail of shells. Steel smiled to himself, he could almost see hie name on the Commanders desk. Commander Steel he thought. However, his dream was short lived as the Wolfs brought up their fighter crafts from behind. The troops in the APC’s that were moving forward were also caught in a trap, and the Wolfs opened fire on the Enforcers, straffing them. Some managed to make it back to Enforcer lines, but alot of good kats went up in smoke. Steel’s jaw fell open, was there no way to beat these creatures. He ducked as a plasma blast sailed over head. He crawled along his stumach to were a dead radio operator lay. “This is Steel!” He shouted. “Fall back, I repeate FALL BACK!!” The Enforcers began to move slowly back, firng as they went. The Wofls advanced, and Steel covered his eyes with is paws, and shock his head. He was not having a good day. And with that, he ran away from the advancing aliens. Commander Feral wasn’t having a good day either. He had managed to get some more troops, and tanks, but he was short on ammunition, but he had to make do with what ever he had. Ever scine he had lost his first company he had lost also ten kilometers of ground. Those plasma blasts from the Wolf tanks could probably reach Magakat City if they tried, very hard. “Forward!” Feral said into his mike. The fifteen tanks, and the three groups of infantry under his command crept forward slowly looking for looking for Wolfs. Suddnely, a flash of green blew up a tank off to the right of Feral. “There.” Feral said, pointing to some trees. “Armor Percing.” He said down to Gorge. “Range?” Gorge asked. “Long.” Feral replied “More than fifteen hundered metters.” Groge loaded the shells and fired. The trees exploded as the Wolf tank eruptied in a ball of fire. The tank right next to Feral disapered under a flash of green light. “What the hell?!” Feral cried out. “There’s another one sire.” Tony called out. “Where?” “Just over the hill.” “Range?” “Just under five hundred meters, sir.” “Driver halt.” Feral said, then “FIRE!” A toung of flame spurted from the muzzles of the tank, as the shell rocketed towards the tank. Feral didn’t need banoculars to see it was a sucess. “HIT!” He cried out. The Wolfs began to bail out, as the tank burned. The two machine guns on the front of the tank started barking in short, precise bursts. In moments, the Wolfs who had tried to escape, lay motionless on the ground, blood covering there black uniforms. There was another explosion as the last Wofl tank went up in a fire ball. The Enforcers began to cheer as they saw the wolfs runnign away. “Dig in boys.” Feral said into his mike to the Enforcer troops. “When the Wolfs launch another attack, we’ll be ready for them.” Feral watched the Enforcers begin to dig like crazy as they prepared to make a stand against the wolfs. And for the first time, scine the Wolfs landed, Feral smiled. The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Alpha’ August 2nd 5:56 pm Fleet Commander Shran brought up the holographic map of the City of Magakat. * 00 \ * # 0000000 \_ * 0000 \ \ 00 / * # 0000000| * 0000000 | __ * #0000000\_______ / 00 | * # 000000000000 \______/ 000 \ * 00000*0*000000000000000 \ * * 00*0000000000 \ * # \ ( 0 = Buildings ) ( * = Aion troops ) ( # = Enforcer troops ) He studied the positions of the local resistance, and that of the Aions. Else were, the major metropilane areas hald fell before the shear might of the Aions, but this place, this Megakat City, had seemed to hold out longer, in one area, the Aions advance had been stopped, and the military had managed to establish a foot hold. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; name="me2.txt" Content-Disposition: inline; filename="me2.txt" X-MIME-Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable by petrie.starway.net.au id PAA25666 He closed down the map, and brought up another, it was of the whole planet. The areas in green were the areas that weren’t under Aion control, and the areas that were gold, were under Aion control. More than 61% of the map was gold. Some areas still managed to hold out, but not for long. His little speech had convinced some resistance to lay down their arms, but not all, excpesialy in Megakat. He again brought up the map of the area. Maybe, he should send a star ship to personaly deal with the troubelsome natives. Shran leaned over and turned on the reciver. “THRANAX!!” He screamed into it. “Yes Fleet Commander?” Thranax replied. “You promised me victory over these creatures about half an hour ago. Why havn’t my troops entered the city yet?” “This is yet to be done Fleet Commander.” Thranax replied. “The military there seem to be throwing every thing they have at us, and in doing so, they use up alot of their resorces. We intend to exploite these mistakes by braking thought, already we have done so, already the natives have made the mistake of using up all their fir power, and now they flee befor us, and in a quarter of an hour, our troops will enter the city.” “For the emperers sake, that better happen.” Shran said. “It will Fleet Commander.” “Thranax.” He siad. “I want you to distroy the military command post of that city.” “How?” Thranax asked. “Must I think of every thing my self?!” Shran yelled into the reciver. “Take down a star ship, and blow it up.” “To the fornt line Fleet Commander?!” Thranax sounded a bit scared. “Yes.” Shran said. “That is all.” He switched off the reciver and lay back in his command chiar. even if the natives found a way around the ‘Omegas’ deffence systems, The Omega could withstand a fair pounding until it reaches space. Even if they distroyed it. It would get rid of that ideot Thranax, no matter what happend, he still won. Shran smiled. The Edges of Megakat City August 2nd 7:00pm Lt. Commander Daivd Steel had finaly gotten his nerve back and manage to regroup the remaining Eforcers of his company. They waited in the ruins of the houses for the Wolf aromor to show up. He was going to make them pay for what they did to his pride. “Okay, boys,” he said out loud. “Mortar crew go off to the left. Machine gun to the right and forward. Rocket lanuchers stright ahead. Good luck to every body.” Steel looked around. He made sure when he was setting this up, that he had a good hiding spot if this plan failed. He went forward with the two Enforcers carrying rocket launchers. They’d need all the fire support they could get, and the M-16 on his back had more range than his starndered automatic pistol. The Wolf tanks began to move down the street towrds the hidden Enforcers. “Now!” Steel whispered into his mike. The pop-pop-pop of mortars sounded as they rained down on the advancing Wolf tanks. The tanks were slow to react, they had no idea what was going on. The wolf troops began firing from behind the safty of the tanks. Enforcers staying back behind the mortar crews opened up on the Wolf troops. Steel stretched himself flat in the house as laser fire began felling for his position, dirt, gravel, and wood, spattered up every were. The lasers were just like a homeing becon, for the Enforcers who aimed for there positons. The rocket launchers were in range, and let a missile fly. In the dark of the night, the rocket left a trial of fire as it leapt from it’s launcher towards it’s intended target, taking it out. “Get the hell out of there!” Steel yelled into his mike as the tanks all turned towrds were the rocket had come from. The canpoy of the Wolf tank opened up, and wolfs pored out of it. The chatter of machine guns silinced the fleeing wolfs. “Keep moving, Come on, forward!” Steel said into his mike, for the wolf advance had been halted by this one tank that was exploding in the middle of the street. One tank tried to get around it, but the Enforcers had mined the road, and the front right tread was blown off. Now the path was blocked with tanks. The wolfs couldn’t advance thought this way, they’d have to find another street. Just then, another Tank went up in flames. The rocket lanucher crew was still in action. The explosions light up the street, showing the Enforcers exsactly were all the Wolf troops were. From one of the houses, the heavy machine gun started blazing away at the targets lighted up from the explosions, the sound of Wolf screams filled the air. The heavy machine gun tears though anything, and when it hist soft fur and flesh, it dosn’t just make a hole, it keeps going, and takes some of the unlucky victom with it. Steel whooped like a red idian when another tank blew sky high. Then, the rocket launcher kats were firing rockets at random into the streets below. More fires spruted up. “Mission accomplished.” Steel said to himself, as the tanks began to pull back. CHAPTER 5 - COUNTER STRIKE The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Omega’ August 2nd 7:56 pm Thranax cursed the day he was born when he recived word about the halt of the drive on Megakat. Just when his troops had acchived victory over the military there, an dentered the city, they were halted, and forced to retreat. Now he had to go down itno the planet and distroy the command base from which these trublesom natives lanuched there attacks from. Sensors showed that it was in the middle of the city. Once it was distroyed, nothing would stop the Empiers drive on the city. “Sir.” A young wolf reported. “Yes.” Thranax said. “We have now entered the atmospher of the planet, and are on a rudavue with the cammand base.” “Exilent.” Thranax said. “ETA?” “Ten minutes.” “Good. I want the laser defence on stand by, it only takes one of those nasty little jets of their’s to slip threw our radar and they can bring us down.” The wolf saluted Thranax, and went back to his duty. Radar Outpost on Anakat Island August 2nd 8:05 pm The radar technion just looked at the screen, open mouthed. | / | / | / ------------|------------\--- | \ | \ | 00903452 What ever this thing was that was approching, was huge. He wrote down the details on a pice of paper, and handed them to the captian in charge. Megakat City salvage yard August 2nd 8:15 pm T Bone and Razor sat in the handger, with their masks off. They had been there for a long time, for they were now behind enamy lines, and the Wolfs had gone through the salvage yard and distroyed everything, including the hanger. They looked around the distroyed hanger, walls were singed with laser blasts, the computer was trashed, and all of Jake’s gadgets were totaled. They had been up and down the front line, blasting at everyting they could, and they were completly out of missiles for the Turbo Kat, all the remained were three sonic missiles, five normal missiles, an octupus missile, and a few rounds of cement slugs. They were trying to think of a plan that could stop the Aion invaion of Megakat City, once and for all. “No Chance.” Jake said. “We just can’t launch a front on attack on the mother ship, we don’t know what kind of fire power they have in defence. I mean, just look at what they’ve got on the ground.” “But we juest can’t sit here and do nothing, while the city is being distroyed.” Chance complained. “Chance!” Jake said. “Were vertualy out of ammo, were low on fuel for the Turbo Kat, and were behind enamy lines. If the Enforcers see the SWAT kats coming at them from behind enamy lines, they might get suspicuse.” “So, what do we do?” “We’ll have to go to Anakata Island, and get help from the Enforcers, it’s our last, and only option left.” Chance made a face. “Are you sure that’s our only option?” Jake wasn’t in the mode. “Yes! I’m sure that’s our only option. Unless you want to ring up the Pastmaster and ask him for the ‘How to pull a perfect plan, out of thin air’ spell, were going to have to get help from the Enforcers.” Chance got the message, and they both balsted out of the hangger. The Front Line, Norht west of the city August 2nd 8:30 pm Feral should have charged when he had the chance, now the Wolfs had brought all their heavy artelery down on his postion. They were like a stunned boxer in the conner of the ring. Suddenly, the air was filled with the most ear splitting sound, Feral had ever heard. Out of the night sky, came the biggest, thing, he’d ever seen. It looked like a Pyrimid, with a hop around it. The Pyrimid, flew low over the Enforcers, and headed towards the city. This was exsactly what Feral neaded right now, for the Wofls to bring forward their Space Ships. He turned on his mike, and screamed into it. “This is Feral. I want every thing we have that flies, into the air, NOW!” The SWAT Kats gasped when they saw the pyrimid flying towrds the city. It was huge, with a silver hop around it. “What the hell is that thing?” T Bone yelled. “Beats the heck out of me buddy, but it’s on a direct course for Enforcer Headquarters.” The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Omega’ August 2nd 8:36 pm Thranax observed the city threw the viewing porthole as they approched their destination. Suddenly, the radar began blinking with little green dots. “Incoming attack crafts.” the radar Aion said. Thranax smiled. “Ativate defences. Let the fools try to shoot us down.” Lt. Commander Felina Feral gasped when she saw the huge pyrimid, heading for Enforcer Headquarters. She looked around at her fellow wingkats. She grumbled. Before the Aliens landed, the EAF consited of over five hundred air crafts, now it was reduced down to about one hundrered and thrity-two. “This is Gold leader.” She said, into her mike. “I have confermed lock on the enamy.” She leaveled her jet. “Firing missile.” She clawed the trigger release button, and fired the missile at the huge space ship. She watched as the other jest fired their missiles at the ship aswell. She say them speed towards the ship, drwing ever closer. Thranax watched the missiles approching. He smiled, a sly, evil smile. “Distroy them.” He said. The Aion at the concle pressed a few buttons, and the computer did the rest. Suddenly, the hop around the ship, began to glow. Felina watched, as the hop went from a red glow, to a white, then it shot out a red beam of light at the missiles, and blew them all up. “HOLY KATS!!” Felina screamed. She franticaly turned on her mike. “This is Lt. Commander Felina Feral, disingae, I repeat, DISENGAGE!!” The fighters all turned tail, and flew off. Felina wasn’t just about to let them get away, that easy. She put her jet in a tight loop, and flew undernith the huge space ship. She was going to attack the belly of the beast. She brought her jet up to face the ship, locked on with her missiles, and fired. The missiles flew stright for the ship, and exploded on impact as they had smoe how managed to avoid the Aliens laser defence. “Take that, you alien scum!” She whisphered loudly to herself. Suddenly, an impossible swelling grlare made Felina shut her eyes. Her jet shock violently, and began to spin, and flipped and twisted in the air, out of control. The controls would no longer respond, no matter what she did. “No!” She shouted. “Not when I’m so close.” She stabbed a thumb at the ejector button, and she was catapoled out, before he jet slamed into the side of a burning building. “Stupid creature.” Thranax laughed as he watched the jet exploed into the side of the wrecked building. “Do you think it would be that easy?” He laughed some more, as he closed down the hologram re-play. Turning back to the control bridge, he shouted. “Have you got the command post in your sights?” The young Aion turned around and answered him. “Good. DISTROY IT!!” The top of the Pryimid split appart, like the Mega Laser on the Turbo Kat, and a growing green light apperead. “What the heck is going on buddy?” T Bone said, as he saw all this happening. Razor could only watch from his seat. “I don’t know T Bone, but I’ve got this bad felling that were about to find out.” The growing green light suddenly reached a suretan size, and then a green blast of pure energy, leapt forth from the ship towards Enforcer Headquaters. Enforcer Headquarters light up for a second, as the top half of the building was blown clean off. The SWAT Kats gapsed out lowd, as the top half went up in the air, hovered their for a few seoncds, then came crashing down, on the streets below. Luckly, all of the citezens of Megakat City had evacuated, or else there would be hell to pay. “Just you just see what they DID!!?” T Bone yelled out. “I see it, but I don’t belive it.” Razor said. “What do we do now Razor.” T Bone said. “They’ve distroyed Enforcer Headquarters.” “Enforcer H.Q. will not go up in vain buddy.” Raozr said greeting his teeth in anger. “I’ve got a plan.” T Bone swung the Turbo Kat around to face the Omega. Razor watched the Omega get bigger in his radar screen. The signel for the lock on sign flashed, and he stabbed at the realses button. “Sonic missiles, deployed.!” He shouted, as the missiles speed off to their target. “More incoming missiles sire.” The radar Aion said. Thranax sighed. “When will they learn. Distroy them.” He mumbeled. Razor saw the hop begin to glow red. Prefect, he thought. He punched the ingintion button. The missiles denonated in mid air, sending their sonic shock wave towards the ship. The sound was deafening, and the hop began to shake. “What the hells going on?!” Thranax demanded He saw the missiles explode, and then the instruments in the command bridge started going all funny. “The missiles sire.” A technician replied. “They’re sending out some sort of sonic sound waves. Thranax pulled up a holographic picture of the outside. He gasped as he saw the hops begin to shake, then all of a sudden, they exploded. His jaw fell open. The frontal defence of the Omega was distroyed. “GET US OUT OF HERE!!!” He screamed hystraicly. Out of all the worlds he was experiencing three things he’d never experienced before. For the first time in his whole life, had he been so defenceless. For the first time in his whole life, he realised he could actually die. For the first time in his whole life, he was scared. “That made a hole.” T Bone said as he saw the ship begin to life of from the smoking remains of Enforcer H.Q. “Roger that T Bone,” Razor said. “Lets go around and finish the job.” With that, T Bone swung round the jet to have another go. CHAPTER 6 - BACK IN ACTION Megakat city Rail Yard August 2nd 8:41 pm Captain Chris Milliard checked the finale calculations on the projector. He looked up at the team of scientists. “Is that hunk of junk ready to go?” He shouted. The scientists all turned around. “It’s all ready sire.” Chris smiled. “Good.” He said. “FIRE IT!!” He looked up at the huge Megabit satellite attacked to a deasel powered train. They were using the Megabeam as a very big artillery gun. The Enforcers powered up the generator, the train moved forward abit, every one covered their ears, and the Megabeam spoke out for the good of katkind. There was a good almighty roar as the huge cannon ejected pure laser into the air. The Trains breaks weren’t enough to hold it in position and it rolled back from the force. Thranax saw the blast coming towards him. He hid under his command seat. “Emperor, save me.” He wined. But when the Megabeam struck the Omega, there wasn’t anything left of Thranax, or his seat. When the blast connected with the Omega, it not only blew, it blew sky high. The Megabeam completely obliterated the Omega, and when the SWAT Kats looked back, there was nothing there, as if the Omega never relay existed. The fireball was big enough to be visible across sixty kilometres. When it lit up the northern horizon, the kats of the Megabeam crew screamed with delight, loud enough for Chris Millard to hear with his abused ears. “Hit! Hit! Hit!” He shouted, and danced in a clumsy circle with a near by scientist. However, his duty came first. He picked up the megaphone in his paw. “Back to it.” He called to them. “We want to hit them again, before they hit us.” This seemed to make every body go to work at full speed. Unlike a tank gun, the Megabeam could not traverse. The deasl train attacked to the carriage holding the Megabeam moved forward a few meters, pulling nearly 1,500 tons of cannon and mounting along the curved track into it’s pre planed firing position. The flag kat brought the train to a halt. The generator warmed up, and the numbers were punched in. Twenty minutes after the Megabeam spoke for the first time, the great gun spoke again. The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Alpha’ August 2nd 9:01 pm Fleet Commander Shran watched with great displeasure as the he saw the Star Ship ‘Beta’ blow sky high. One minute it was there, the next, there was this bright white light, then it was gone. This was bad. He’d distroyed their command post, but at the lost of two Star Ships. This was bad, very bad. More screams of delight rose from the Megabeam crew. They could see the explosion from down on the ground. They did not waste any time dancing, the sight of this new flame in the sky made them more enthusiastic. Captain Millard turned to a near by Enforcer. “We’ve been lucky, twice,” Millard said. “That’s more than I expected. Maybe we’ll go aigan - third times a charm, they say.” At first, Millard thought the screaming in the sky was the train, pulling the Megabeam along. The first bomb blast, exploded a few meters behind him, hurled him facefirst into that great mountain of metal. He felt things break - his nose, a cheekbone, several ribs, a hip. He opened his mouth to scream. Another bomb blast went off, this one even closer. The SWAT Kats saw some one down in the streets below them, waving at them. T Bone flew down a to investigate, and saw Felina. He lowered a grappling hook, and picked her up. “Thanks you guys.” She said to them. “I don’t suppose you could drop me off at Enforcer H.Q. on Anakata island, could you?” She gave T Bone the helpless little girl look, and T Bone smiled. “Sure thing Lt.” He said. “We were heading over in that direction ourselves.” Razor took one more look back at the city. “I wonder why the Megabaem stooped firing?” Anakat Island, South Side August 2nd 9:27 pm The runway lights were turned on as the Turbo Kat came in for a landing. The wheels touched down, and they came to a stop. The trio jumped out of the jet, and began to walk towards the war room, the secret strategic battle planing room. Inside, kats were running back and fourth, shouting things out to other kats, and punching information into the computer. A kat in a black Enforcers uniform, walked up to Felina. “We’ve got some bad news Lt. Commander.” He said. “We’ve lost contact with the Megabem crew.” Felina ground. “Are you sure about that she’s been distroyed?” Felina asked. “Positive sire.” He said. “Just before we lost radio contact, we spotted fighters in that area.” “So what are we left with now?” She asked. The kat flipped though some sheets of paper. “We have two choices.” He said. “One, we pull back our troops, and deploy our atomic weapons, or. We send out the Behemoth.” Felina smiled. “Go with plan B.” She said. Megakat City, South Side August 2nd 10:05 pm Commander Feral had personally taken command of the forces in the south of the city. This is were the aliens had made a break threw in their defences, and had entered the city. But now, it was their turn to run. Their turn to die, their turn to fall back, meter after meter. He was driving the Behemoth tank. A complete arsenal of weapons, thought active controls, and a force field. Ever science Hard Drive had taken it for a test drive, they’d been working around the clock to repair it, now, it was operational, it would get to prove it’s self on the battle field. Commander Feral rolled down the city streets, looking mourned, felling confident , and invincible, rolling head long into the belly of the beast, with a normal Enforcer tank, doing that was like walking out into a cross fire with a shoot me sign on you. He looked over at the Behemoth’s 200mm cannon. This baby would sore pack quite a mean punch. Just then Feral saw a flash of green light, and he felt a rather harsh jolt as the plasma blast struck the Behemoth’s force field. There was a crackle of electricity as the force field laughed of the blast. He stopped the tank, and had a look around. Another plasma blast tried desperately to penetrate the Behemoth’s mega sized force field, but the might tank refused to give. Feral saw were that blast came from. He brought round the cannon to the spot were the blast had come from. He thought about firing the shell, and the computer automatically responded. A foot long burst of flame spurted out from the muzzle of the guns it lobed the twenty pond shell in the direction of the tank which was hiding down an ally. There was a huge explosion, as not one tank, but two, went up in a huge fire ball. “Suck on that!” He shouted as he saw troops running away. He cut them down with the tanks machine. He smiled, from ear to ear, as he rolled forward. In the back ground, he could here cheering, Enforcers cheering. Instead of running, they were now, advancing. The tides of this war, had certainly turned. CHAPTER 7 - UNLIKELY ALLIES The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Alpha’ August 2nd 10:38 pm Fleet Commander Shran was not pleased at all. This one city had been holding out from his forces for quite some time. It was because of this city, that he had to take troops from one camping and place them here, and that camping would suffer. It was time to show these creatures who’s boss. “Send an attack though here.” Shran said, pointing at the northern end of the city. “Satellites show us that there is a swap here, this will provide perfect cover for our troops to move though, and attack these natives from behind.” Megakat Swamp August 2nd 11:00 pm Dr. Viper was not too pleased that these aliens had landed to take over Megakat City. If any kat was going to take over the city, it would be Dr. Viper. Now, what really pissed him off, was the fact, that some troops were making their way through HIS swamp, to attack the city. Aliens, or no aliens, no one attacks Dr. Viper and gets away with it. One of Vipers creatures, ones from his little trip to Megakat Towers, hoped in though the window and screeched something to him. “Sssssso.” He hissed. “They’ve arrived have they?” He turned back to the creature. “No one messssessss with Dr. Viper and getssss away with it. DISSSSTROY THEM MY PETSSSSS!!!” The creature jumped out the window, to give the command to the others. The Aion troops never stood a chance. They were bombarded from the air by Vipers flying acid spitting creatures. The Aion’s screamed in pain and agony, as they were squirted with acid. Some soldiers fought back, but the moment they shot one down, it landed it the swampy waters, and fell back up in the air again. The commander in charge on the attack ordered a retreat, but couldn’t order any more, when a stray acid spit got him right in the face. Without a leader, the Aion attack force were completely wiped out. Next came the fighters, strafing the swamp for Vipers creatures, but they just flew up to the fighters, and spat acid on them. The fighters found it hard to lock onto the creatures, because of their size. All the Aion’s fighters were shot down. Vipers creations screeched in victory, before flying off to find more Aions to kill. Halkes House August 2nd 11:19 pm The Metalikats had once again escaped from Halkes prison. They managed to rebuild their bodies, and were already to go, with a new set of wheels. They had driven no further than five miles down the road, when they ran into an Aion tank brigade. “What the Hell are those things?!” Molly said, looking at the tanks, heading straight for them. “I don’t know Molly.” Mac said. “But I an’t waiting round to find out. He pressed a few buttons, to activate the Amerada cars defences. Missiles, lasers, bullets, and bombs, rained down on the advancing Aion tanks. Fire balls went up into the sky, as the tanks were distroyed. The fire power that Mac set off lit up the night sky, as if it were day. As they drove thought the confused Aions, Mac designed the back part of the car, and sent a goodbye present to the aliens. The explosion wiped out the tanks, but was followed by angry laser blasts from the remaining Aion troops. A stray blast, disactivated the Cars anti gravity drive, and the car came to a sudden halt. Mac, and Molly Mange, both got out of the car, brandishing their guns. “Not smart, fur boys.” Mac said. Both he and Molly let lose with laser fire. The Aions returned fire, but to no avail, they were all killed. Mac turned towards Molly. “You feel like a holiday hon?” Molly shrugged. “Yea, along as there are NO SWAT Kats around.” Smiling, they both starting walking, away from the city. The War Room Anakata Island Augst 3rd 12:09 am The War cabinet was informed that, according to intelligence coming from the front line, the Enforcers were finally making progress. First tanks, and infantry had begun to push the aliens back from the city, dipite the lack of equipment. By 12:20, it was clear that the enemy could no longer made any more advances on Megakat City., and a break through was already happening. The Command Bridge of the Star Ship ‘Alpha’ August 3rd 12:46 am Fleet Commander Shran was experiencing something he’d never experienced before in his life. Defeat. He was informed that the enemy was pushing his forces back, and now, he had just received a request from the field commander in that area for immediate withdrawal off all troops from Megakat. All around the world, things were going smoothly , but here, why here. He slammed his fists down on the table in frustration. WHY?! He leaned over to the Aion by the radio. “Tell the field commander, to withdrawal all forces from the City of Megakat. That is all.” The War Room Anakata Island Augst 3rd 1:00 am The War cabinet was in a frenzy, two minutes ago, they just received word that the last of the alien transports just took off. The Aions had left Megakat City, they’d won. Up and down, the front line, Enforcers were screaming, shouting, signing, and cheering, at the sight of the Transports leaving. Nearly a day ago, when the Wolf’s first landed, the invasion seemed irresistible, and now, here they were, watching the Wolfs feeling from their city. Commander Feral watched the last transport Disappeared into the sky. The nightmare was finally over, the killing, the fighting, and all the useless distraction, was finished. If anybody were watching the Commander, when the last transport disappeared, they would have seen a tear roll down his cheek. Felina Feral stood on the run way on the air base on Anakat Island, kissing T Bone. He let go of her, then smiled. “I’ll be back.” He said to her. “I promise.” He walked over to Razor, and they both climbed into the Turbo Kat. They figured that this victory was all to easy. So they were going up to the mother ship, to stop this invasion once and for all, and hopefully free, the whole planet. Felina watched as the engines of the Turbo Kat sprung to life, and the jet was propelled down the runway, and off into the night sky. “Good luck guys.” She said. She watched them, until they disagreed from view, then she went back to the War room, to celebrate their victory. CHAPTER 8 - TAKING IT TO THE ENEMY The Turbo Kat shot off towards the heavens, flying at maximum speed, T Bone then engaged the Speed of Heat drive, and they were rocketed into space. “She’s holding buddy.” T Bone said, as they left the atmosphere of their planet. “Wao.” Razor said, as they saw the mighty Aion Fleet. Transports were every were, and the star ships were all in place to let them land. However, one big star ship, was moving forward, away from the rest of the other ships. “That’s our kat.” Razor said, pointing at that ship. “Roger that.” T Bone said. “Ingaging radar jammer.” He pressed a few buttons, and the whole cockpit lit up red, as the Turbo Kat went into stealth mode. They shut down the engine, and speed towards the Star Ship Alpha. “I hope this works.” Razor said, keeping an eye on the hoop around the star ship. They got closer and closer, but the hoop didn’t light up, they were safe. T Bone brought the jet around, and landed in one of the hanger bays on the Star Ship Alpha. “Here looks like a safe spot.” T Bone said, landing behind a huge soport pole. There they waited until the hanger was sealed, and pressurised. The SWAT Kats then jumped out, and began carefully walking towards the exit, trying no to be seen. However, when you look like a kat, and every one else looks like a wolf, and the hanger is covered with about a hundred lights, it’s a little hard to do so. They were spotted in no time flat. A wolf pilot looked in their direction, he pointed at them, and shouted something in his own language. “RUN!!” T Bone shouted, as he tossed a granaid at the wolfs. It exploded bellowing forth, a thick black smoke, giving the SWAT Kats the perfect cover, as they left the hanger under the cover of darkness. Fleet Commander Shran had the perfect revenge for the cats in the city of Megakat. He’d come within range of the city, and fire an atomic weapon at it. If he couldn’t rule the city, no one could. “ETA?” Shran asked. The young Aion turned around. “Twenty minutes sire.” Shran smiled. At first, if you don’t succeed, blow ‘em away. “Sire?” A solider approached him. Shran looked at him, with displeasure on his face. “Yes?” He asked. “Security spotted some cats in the hanger bay, they must have snuck abroad in one of our transports.” “Well, find them, and distroy them. I don’t want to be disturbed.” The aion saluted, and fan off. Shran growled, he was not going to be defeated, again. The SWAT Kats were crawling around inside the ventilation safest of the Alpha. They weren’t going to go inside the ship, it was crawling with guards. After a while, they cam to an intersection in the shafts. With access going up down, left right, and straight ahead. However, T Bone misjudged the distance between the shafts, and fell right down the shaft. Sighing, Razor jumped down, and followed. Ann Gorea, and Johnny were sitting on their cell bunk, when they heard a screaming noise. It got louder, until T Bone crashed right through the ceiling. “SWAT Kats!” She exclaimed, as Razor appeared not far behind. “How did you get here?” “Ann?” T Bone said, looking up at her. “We managed to get aboard in the Turbo Kat, Ann.” Razor said. “How did you guys end up here?” “We were shot down over the battle field, and landed behind the enemy lines, and we were captured by the Aions.” “Well, it looks like our raid, just turned into a raid and rescue.” T Bone said. He fired his grappling hooks up the shaft. “You guys climb up there. Once you get to an intersection, turn to your left, and keep going down that tunnel, it should take you to the hanger bay. Look for a large suspension pole, and behind that is the Turbo kat, wait there for us.” Both Ann, and Johnny nodded, and they climbed up the rope. “That takes care of that.” Razor said. “Now lets get out of here.” The guard out side heard a HE - YAAA!, and opened the slot in the door to investigate, only to be flattened by the door, as it was kicked of it’s hinges. After much running around, and on the spot interrogations, the SWAT Kats finally stood outside the Bridge. “Are we going in?” T Bone asked. “After you.” Razor said. They both pressed the button that opened the door, and walked in. “Welcome.” Shran said to the SWAT Kats. They were sounded by ten guards, pointing laser riffles at them. “You two have been causing me allot of trouble on my ship.” He said. “I think I’ll repay you both, by letting you watch me distroy your city, and then, I’ll throw you both out the air lock.” T Bone struggled useless ly against the grip of the Aion who was holding him. “We’re in range now sire.” An Aion said to Sharn. “Good.” Shran said. “Fire.” There was a loud bang, as the SWAT Kats, saw a missile fire from the ship. “In just five of your minutes.” Shran chuckled. “Your city will be nothing more than a radioactive memory.” He began to laugh out lowd. The others began to laugh with him, which was a big mistake. T Bone and Razor kicked their guards in the stomuch, and broke free. “Delpoy mini Tar Pedos.” T Bone shouted as he knocked out five guards. “Octopus missile, deploy.” Razor yelled, saw he took care of the other guards. The few remaining were easily over come, by a few kicks, and punches. Shran looked about the bridge, every one was defeated. “It’s all over Shran.” T Bone said. “You lose.” “So why don’t you make it easy on us all, and give us the abort codes for the nuke?” Shran smiled. “Nice try cats.” He said, sitting back down in his seat. “But you should know, I never play by the rules.” And with that, his seat disappeared down into the floor, and he was gone. “Nuts!” T Bone shouted, running over to the spot were Shran had once been. “We’ve gotta disactivatie that missile T Bone.” Razor said, running over to the control panel. “Well, what are you waiting for?” T Bone said. “I don’t speak Aion.” Razor said. “I can’t read a dame thing on this control panel.” “Now what do we do!” T Bone shouted. “Improvise.” Razor said, with a smile on his face. He began pushing buttons at random, hoping that one would be the detonation button. Instead, the missile turned around, and started heading for them. “Oh dear.” T Bone said. “That’s our Que. to exit.” Razor said. They ran back to the hanger, not experiencing any trouble scine the crew were all trying to escape from the missile. They reached the hanger, and found the Katseye news team waiting for them. “What did you guys do?” Johnny asked them, as they climbed into the jet. “We’ll explain later.” T Bone said. “Right now, we’ve got disappear.” The blasted a hole in the hanger door, with the megalaser, and flew through. Outside, T Bone engaged the Speed of heat to get away from the star ship. “Five seconds to impact.” Razor said. “5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.” There was an intense bright glare from behind the Turbo Kat as the missile impacted into the Star Ship Alpha, and the explosion consumed not only that ship, but every other ship swell. Fleet Commander Shran had got to his personal fighter when he escaped from the SWAT Kats, he was transporting himself to another star ship, when the missile struck the Star Ship Alpha, he turned back just in time to see the ship be engulfed with a nuclear fire ball. “NO!” He screamed. He’d failed, he was the first Fleet Commander to not conquer a planet. Of course, he didn’t have time to think about all this, because his ship was engulfed in the fire ball swell. CHAPTER 9 - VICTORY “YE HAA!” T Bone screamed as they shot over Megakat City. Down below, the citizens were returning to Megakat city, there was a huge celebration going on. “And today, as the war has officially ended.” Ann said into the camera. “Kats from all over the world are celebrating the end of the war. Never in the history of katkind has there been such celebration. It’s an assume sight, kats cheering, and cars blowing their horns....” T Bone didn’t listen to the rest of what Ann had to say. He was too buys thinking about their victory. This was their greatest moment, their greatest battle. This was, their finest hour. Outside City Hall August 4th 10:00am Mayor Manx stood up from his seat and walked forward towards the SWAT Kats. “For saving the city, as well as the world, SWAT Kats, I bestow apone you, the conditional Medal of honour.” Every one cheered as the SWAT Kats accepted the medal. Manx went down the line, giving medal to theses who had earned it. Razor turned to T Bone as they stood their, on the stand in front of all the citizens of Megakat city. “I never thought I’d be getting this,” he said. “It’s almost like a dream.” T Bone pinched him. “Nope, it’s real.” He said. Razor couldn’t help but to laugh. He looked up into the bright green sky, and smiled. Victory was there’s. END.
