Chapter 1
"Megakat
City... The one place where all cat kind get along."
"Yah right!" Chance Furlong got up and went in the kitchen. "How can everyone
get along if the enforcers can't handle a simple task?"
Jake
Clawson who was still on the couch complied, "Yah. You know, if it weren't
for us, this city will be villain central. No offence. I mean, the Enforcers
are smart... Sometimes... But, we're always covering
their tail. Right?"
Chance
sat back down and chuckled. "Well, you have to admit though... Commander
Feral is a sissy."
They
both shared a laugh. Then it stopped when a news report came on.
"This
is Ann Gora, from Kats Eye News. And I'm here with
deputy mayor Callie Briggs." Ann turned to Callie. She held up her mike.
"So tell us. What is the mayor's big plan for
this city?"
Callie
started to talk. But she was cut off by a loud jet engine. It swooped down
by everyone, and the girl's skirts flew up.
Chance
and Jake laughed. They continued watching.
Callie
was embarrassed. "What was that?!" She looked up and saw the Enforcers
chasing the mystery jet. Ann too saw the action and had Johnny record it.
"Who could be in that jet? And, why are the Enforcers chasing it?"
Chance
and Jake now realized that it was trouble. So they ran down to the basement,
changed in their SWAT Kat uniforms, jumped in the Turbo Kat, then took
off.
T-Bone
sat in the pilot seat. "What do you think about the girl's little incident?"
He laughed.
But
Razor didn't. "Well, it was funny for awhile. But let's not rub it in
their faces, okay?"
T-Bone
stopped a bit. "Yah... Okay..."
They
arrived, but the jet was no where in sight.
Razor
looked around. "Where could it be?"
T-Bone
shook is head. "I don't know... WAIT! That's it!" He pointed at
a dark jet. It zoomed past them. T-Bone chuckled. "Oh, so you want to
play!" T-Bone put the Turbo Kat to its full throttle. "Then
let's!" He followed behind the mystery jet.
Razor
targeted it. "Turbo missile launched!"
The
missile shot out to the jet. But, the jet dodged it and he missed.
Razor's
eyes widened . "Huh?" He sat back. "Impossible...
I had a lock!"
T-Bone
frowned. "This ain't no
amateur." He turned the Turbo Kat around.
The
jet launched a missile, and it shaved the Turbo Kat's side.
T-Bone
got mad. "That does it! Let's show this moron what he gets when he hits
the Turbo Kat!"
Razor
got a lock on it. "I'm on it! Launching, Slicer missile!"
This time, he got a hit. The Slicer missile hit one of the jet's wings.
Razor
and T-Bone rejoiced.
Just
then, the ship went side to side with the Turbo Kat. Getting a glance
inside, the SWAT Kats saw that the pilot was a girl. Her helmet covered her
face though, and her hair was up. Her skin was light.
T-Bone
gazed off. "Wow... I think I found my soul mate."
Then
the jet blasted off.
T-Bone
shook out of it and slammed his fists against the controls. "CRUD!
She got away!"
Razor
looked around to see if he could find her. But nothing.
She was gone. Then he looked at his partner. "You know, T-Bone, I thought
I heard you say that she was your soul mate."
T-Bone
freaked out. "WHAT?! As if! She almost totaled
the Turbo Kat and she made a fool out of us!"
Razor
narrowed his eyes and said, "True... But admit it... You like her."
T-Bone
was about to blow up. "I DO NOT! Now do me a favor and never bring this
up again!"
Razor
sighed. "Whatever." Then he said quietly himself, "He likes
her."
T-Bone
put the Turbo Kat to full power. "WHEN I FIND
HER, NO MERCY!"
The
Turbo Kat blasted off.
Meanwhile,
Callie argued with Commander Feral. She slammed her hand on his desk. "You
can't put an arrest out for the SWAT Kats! That would be stupid! All they
ever do is help you!"
Feral
took a sip of his coffee. "We can handle it. I can't have these hotshots
do everything you know. They tear up the town, and it costs millions to repair
it."
Callie
couldn't believe from what she was hearing. "But, they always succeed
and you always fail! No offence, but I think you should call this whole thing
off!"
Feral
shook his head. "Not this time. I even have a reward for the one who
captures the SWAT Kats."
Callie freaked. "WHAT?!
A reward! You... You..." She clenched her fists. Then she took a deep
breath and picked up her briefcase. Callie walked for the door. She turned
and bowed. In a frustrated voice she said, "Good day, Commander."
Then she slammed the door on her way out.
Feral
sighed. "It's for the good of the city." Then he picked up a picture.
It was a picture of a little girl. Her hair was orange and her fur was a pale
color. She smiled brightly. Her purple eyes shined in the sun light. "I
will not fail... My daughter." With that, he
set the picture down and left his office.
The
SWAT Kats arrived back at their hanger.
T-Bone
threw his helmet. "I hate that! I can't believe we were over ran
by a girl!"
Razor
jumped out of the Turbo Kat. "Well gee, just brake it why don't
ya." He took his helmet off and was about to put it away when all of
a sudden, their phone went off.
T-Bone
answered it. "Yes, Miss Briggs."
Callie's
voice sounded serious. "Feral is putting a warrant out for your arrest,
and..."
The
two glanced at each other. "And?"
Callie
sounded as if she were going to cry. "They have a reward for whoever
catches you."
They
both flipped.
"WHAT?!"
Jake
grabbed the phone. "You tell Commander Feral that if it weren't for us,
there won't be a Megakat City!"
Then
T-Bone grabbed the phone. "And... and... What
Razor said." He looked at Razor who stomped away and threw his
helmet as well. Then he kicked his locker.
Callie
heard the noise and asked, "What was that?"
T-Bone
answered her. "Razor's mad."
Callie
sighed. "Well, I’m sorry. I tried to stop it. But,
no use. This time, he's serious. So I guess... Good bye T-Bone."
T-Bone's
voice changed sad like. "Bye Miss Briggs..." He slowly put the phone
back. He turned and saw Razor throwing his new gadgets. Razor's anger was
furious. T-Bone sighed and took off his mask. "I'm sorry, buddy."
Razor
sat down. "It's all because of Feral that we're here in the first place!"
Chance
put his uniform away. "Well, as long as he doesn't know we are the SWAT
Kats. I guess we're safe."
Razor
took off his mask and stared at it. "I remember our first mission..."
Chance
laughed. "Yah! And, you missed your first shot."
Jake
shared a laugh with Chance. Then they stopped.
Jake
sighed. "I guess those days are over..."
Chance
sat next to him. "But, we'll always be pals, right?"
Jake
nodded. "Right." From that moment on, the SWAT Kats were
no more.
Callie
sat at her desk. She stared out the window. "I'm sorry, guys..."
Commander
Feral told his soldiers if they saw the SWAT Kats, to take them down. Felina
was mad. She knew if it weren't for them, there won't be Megakat City. Because
of them, their city was named the safest place for all Cat kind. She stomped
away, leaving a speechless Commander.
