Dark Heart- Part 1 By: Liv E-Mail: liv_cat@zipmail.com.br --------------------------------------- Three days later, in the garage, Yosuke and Jake were talking with Vulpes, Fang, and Airos to learn more about the Ness Empire. "So, you're saying they make mecha-clones and other types of monsters from the DNA of warriors from every planet destroyed?" asked Yosuke. "That's right, but sometimes, they transform a few warriors into cyborgs - like in my case," said Airos. "But, what will the Ness do with Vulpes' hair?" Fang asked quietly to himself. "Well, I'm sure it won't be a good thing," said Vulpes. Then, Ayami came in, wearing jean shorts, a jean jacket, and a blue T-shirt. "Well Uncle, I'm ready - let's go," she said. "Hunh? Ready for what?" asked Jake. "Oh, Uncle, today is my first class. Did ya' forget?" Ayami asked. "Holy kats!! That's right! Yosuke, I'm sorry, but I need go to the high school with Ayami," said Jake. "Don't worry, I will stay here with your friend. I'll make new uniforms too, OK?" asked Yosuke. "All right. Ayami, let's go," said Jake. Some time later, Jake and Ayami arrived at MegaKat High School.... "Remember, you'll get on the school bus when you leave, OK?" asked Jake. "All right, Uncle. See ya later," said Ayami. When she got inside, she was trying to find her music class when she ran into someone. "Sorry, I didn't see you," Ayami apologized to the kat. "Don't worry. I see you're new around here - can I help you?" asked the kat. "Well, I..." Then, she saw the young kat. He was a hunk. He was wearing a black jacket, black jeans and a yellow T-shirt. He had short black hair and honey-colored fur. "...can you help me to find the music class?" Ayami finished. "Of course. I was going in there right now. My name is Lance Feral," he said. "My name is Ayami Clawson Urameshe - nice to meet you," she said, turning bright red. Meanwhile, on the Crusader... "My Lord, finally we have a shadow warrior on our side," said Kendrix. "That's good news - show me," he ordered. Chance emerged from the shadows, but he was different. His beautiful black eyes were now blood red and he now had black spots on his body. "Lord Zargat, I'm Dark Heart," he said. "That's a nice name for a warrior in our Empire," replied Zargat. "My Lord, I wanna do something private with Bado on Earth,... with your permission of course," Dark Heart said. "Of course, show me what you can do, 'Dark Heart,'" said Zargat. Then, Dark Heart was gone. That afternoon at MegaKat High School.... "So, you're from Japan?" asked Lance. "Yes, my dad was American and my mom was Japanese. Now, I'm living here with my uncle," explained Ayami. "Hi Lance, who's your new friend?" asked a she-kat with long white hair and honey-colored fur. At her side was a tom-kat with short red hair and blond fur. "That's Ayami. Ayami, these are my friends Jason and Lorelei," said Lance. "Nice to meet ya, Ayami. Lance, did ya find a kat who can play an electric piano?" asked Lorelei. "No, not yet," said Lance. "Why do you need a kat who can play the electric piano?" asked Ayami. "Well, because we are making a music band and all we need is an electric piano player," said Lance. "And a name for our band too," added Jason. "Well, you're in luck - I can play an electric piano," said Ayami. "All right, so... Tomorrow we can meet at my house to think of a name for our band," said Lance. "All right. Can you give me your address?" asked Ayami, turning red again. "And, can you give me the yours?" asked Lance, turning bright red himself. "I think we see a new romantic pair here," Jason commented to Lorelei. "Good for Lance," said Lorelei. Later, in the Garage..... "Hey, Fang, what're you doing?" asked Jake, curious. "I'm making new weapons to fight against Ness, Jake. You know, a laser gun, armored machines, and etc...." Fang returned. "It's a good idea," Jake agreed. "Hey Jake, I finished our new uniform," said Yosuke, showing him the new uniform. "Good and ... hey!!" "Something wrong, Jake?" asked Yosuke. "My uniform isn't red," said Jake. "I know this. You said the other day that you were making a new team - Swat Rangers, right? So, why not different uniforms? Look, mine is green and Ayami's is blue," said Yosuke, showing Jake the uniform. "Green like your Holy Wolf?" asked Jake. "Yeah, speaking of that, what kind Holy Beast is the other chosen one?" asked Airos. "I have no idea - we need ask to Ayami. She knows that legend better than I do," said Yosuke. Just then, Ayami arrived. "Hi guys - I'm back," said Ayami. "Hey Ayami, what kind of Holy Beast is the last one anyway?" asked Jake. "Well, it's a Jaguar of the Thunder," said Ayami. "We need to find these choose ones as fast as we can," Vulpes inserted. "Tomorrow I will go to museum and ask Dr. Sinian for more information about the Holy Beasts," said Ayami. "When we find the last chosen one and the Holy Jaguar, can we finally defeat Ness?" wondered Airos. "I hope so, my friend, I hope so," Jake replied, worried. Meanwhile that night, at Puma-Dyne...... "Do you want some more coffee?" asked a guard of his companion. "Yes, thanks." Then, they heard a strange sound. "What was that?" asked the guard. "I'll check on it," the second returned. When he was checking out the sound, he saw two feline creatures. One was white and the other one was blond with black spots. The first guard only heard his scream. He ran to see what had happened to his friend. When he arrived at the place where his friend was, he saw the other guard's dead body covered in blood. "What is i-it?" he muttered to himself, looking over his shoulder. He saw the same felines just before the spotted one bit his shoulder... "Dark Heart, what are we doing here anyway?" asked Bado. "We will destroy this place. Here is all Feral's top secret equipment," explained Dark Heart. "Feral is the guy who expelled you from the Enforcers, right?" asked Bado. "Yes, and I will make him pay for everything he did to me," said Dark Heart in anger. "I understood , so,..." "...Let's explode and burn all that is here," Dark Heart finished. Then, their eyes glowed red... Meanwhile, at the Garage.... "Wow, the Big Bear is so beautiful. It looks like the constellation of Seven Virtue Stars on my planet," commented Vulpes, lying on the roof of the garage. "The Seven Virtue Stars? I wanna hear it," said Jake, lying on the roof of the garage with her. "I wanna too. The Seven Virtue Stars have a legend, don't they?" asked Fang. "To tell the truth, I don't know. After my planet was destroyed, I lost my remembrances. Some things I can remember - like the Seven Virtue Stars," said Vulpes. "Wait... I remember - it's not something about the seven stars, it's something about seven amulets. The amulets mean love, courage, hope, friendship, honesty, loyalty, and knowledge. That's all I can remember," Vulpes finished, sadly. "It's ok if you don't remember anything and....." Then, they heard a big explosion. "What is that?" Jake yelped, looking toward the sound. "I'm sure it's from Puma-Dyne. Let's call the others and check it out." "Roger that," returned Fang and Vulpes together. Meanwhile, in Ulysses Feral's apartment.... "What was that?" asked Feral, looking out the window. He saw a great cloud of smoke. "Daddy, what's going on?" asked a little she-kitty with long black hair and light brown fur. She appeared to be about eight years old. "I guess it's a fire, Faye. It's best for you to go to Sara's apartment and spend the night there," Feral told his daughter. "Ok, but be careful, I don't want anything to happen to ya," said Faye, worried. "Don't worry, my dear. Before I go, I wanna give you something," said Feral, giving her a tiny box. When Faye opened the box, she saw an amulet with a strange symbol. She didn't know what the symbol meant, but she loved the amulet. "It was your mother's. When she was your age, she told me that the amulet is very special. When someone has a really friendly heart, something magical happens," Feral explained, smiling at his daughter "Thanks, Daddy. Now, you have go - the Enforcers need ya," said Faye smiling back at her dad. Back at Puma-Dyne..... "Wow, what a fire!" exclaimed Airos. "What do we do now, Razor?" asked Fang to Razor, who was wearing his new red uniform. "Well, I guess the earth and the water can do the work, so...," Razor started, looking at Ayami and Yosuke in their new Swat Rangers uniforms. "So, let's see what you can do, Green Swat 'Rayearth' and Blue Swat 'Tsunami'," he finished. "All right, wait and see," said Ayami as Tsunami. Then, her left hand glowed blue and Yosuke's, as Rayearth, glowed green. "WATER DRAGON - STRIKE!" "SAND STORM - GO!" With Rayearth and Tsunami's strikes, the fire was gone. Then, an ambulance, the fire men and the Enforcers arrived. "Oh-oh, Feral is coming. If he sees you guys, we're lost," said Razor. "Did he say 'Feral'?" asked Tsunami to herself. "Don't worry, Razor - I'll teleport us to the hangar." Then, suddenly, they were in Hangar, but Vulpes wasn't there. "Hey, where's Vulpes?" asked Airos. "She must still be at Puma-Dyne. But, don't worry, guys - Vulpes can transform herself into anything or anyone. Though she can't transform her tail... But, at least, some she-Kats have tails that look like a fox," explained Fang. Back at Puma-Dyne...... "What the hell happened here?" demanded Feral. "We don't know yet. We're still searching for survivors," said an Enforcer. Vulpes was hiding in a tree. Suddenly, she transformed into a she-Kat with long white hair and black fur wearing a nurse's uniform. "Someone needs help?" asked Vulpes, pretending to be a nurse. "Yes, we need you to help with this one. He's still alive, but his right shoulder looks like was bitten by some animal." "Feral, listen to me," began the wounded guard. "Two sabretooth tigers attacked Puma-Dyne...... One was white.... and the other one was blond... with black spots. One of them wants do evil things to ya... He said he was... an Enforcer...." With that, he died. "An Enforcer wants do evil things to me, but who?" asked Feral to himself. "It's best if you be careful. One out for revenge can do anything," Vulpes warned Feral. "The white sabretooth tiger must be Bado, but who's the other one?" Vulpes then asked herself, worried. The next morning...... "Why are we doing this?" asked Yosuke, sitting down on a bench near a school bus stop. "Because we need a new home. Sooner or later, Ness will destroy the hanger and also, Vulpes said the sabretooth tiger was an Enforcer. If that sabretooth tiger is who I'm thinking it is..." Jake stopped as Faye and her friend Sara appeared. "Uncle Jake, it's been a long time!" said Faye, very happy. "Hey, Faye, how are you? Hallo, Sara," Jake returned, animated. "Jake, who are these beautiful ladies?" asked Yosuke. "Yosuke, this is Faye and Sara. Faye is Feral's daughter," said Jake. "Nice to meet you, ladies. I'm Battosai Yosuke," said Yosuke. Jake noted that Faye's face was a little sad. "Hunh, Faye... Your dad and brother are still..." "Yes, they have hard heads. Lance moved into another apartment. Sometime, I'll go there to visit him. Wow, I don't know what I'll do," said Faye sadly. "Don't worry, I'm sure they will be friends again," assured Jake. "I hope so," said Faye. "Look Faye, that's our bus. See ya later, Mr. Clawson and Battosai," said Sara as she and Faye got on the bus. "Bye girls," said Jake as the bus moved away. "What's the problem with Faye?" asked Yosuke. "Her brother, Lance, blames Feral because Dark Kat killed her mother two years ago," Jake returned. "Poor girl." Said Yosuke. "Yeah, now let's move our tails to find a new house," said Jake. Meanwhile, on the bus......... "Hey Faye, nice amulet," said Sara. "Thanks. Daddy gave it to me last night. He told me that if I have been a good friend, this amulet will give me luck," said Faye as the driver steered the bus into a tunnel. Ahead, he saw a person with an animal. The animal was Bado and the person was Dark Heart. Dark Heart's eyes glowed red and the bus suddenly crashed into an invisible wall. "What's happening?" Sara screamed, afraid. The tom-Kat's eyes glowed red again and Faye flew into the air. Sara tried to help her friend, but Bado's roar scared her. Then, Dark Heart grabbed Faye and they disappeared into the shadows. "Faye, Nooo!!" Sara cried out. Dark Heart reappeared in an abandoned factory. Faye woke up to a terrible surprise as she saw his face. "IT CAN'T BE!! UNCLE CHANCE!!!" To be continued........
