Apologies

<Dark T-Bone> ::stirs a tad::
<Dark Razor> ::does likewise and sits up::
<Dark T-Bone> ::murmurs something::
<Dark T-Bone> ::stirs a tad anew, then slits his eyes open, is snoozing sprawled across the recliner at the yard::
<AltSypher> ::is in a self-induced coma working to undo any control Dark Kat might have over him and pretty much dead to the world as his mun can't take another char::
<Chance> ::steps into the kitchen, nodding to Jake before going to the coffee pot::
<Jessie> ::has *asked* she actually *asked* for some time off!!! is heading towards the Salvage Yard now...is wearing a long sleeved shirt over her usual Enforcer unfirom.. no BPV this time::
<Jessie> ::Arrives there...parks and yadda .... goes inside:: Hey guys!! How are things?
<JakeSK> Jess! you ok? what are you doing here?
<Jessie> it's just a scratch Jake... and I took the day off...
<JakeSK> ::blinks..can't believe he heard that...::
<Dark T-Bone> ::looks at Jessie entering::
<Jessie> ::just grins as she flops down onto the floor::
<Jessie> you guys settled in ok?
<Dark Razor> ::chuckles:: We just crashed in here last night actually.
<JakeSK> ((<Feral> ::Walks in...sees two sets of Jakes and Chances. Blinks:: what the??? ::thinks he's drunk...::))
<ChanceSK> ((<Feral> Alright!! They can pay the bill a lot faster now!))
<Jessie> gonna look for a place to live?
<Dark Razor> Well... We were thinking about going home... If we can....
<Dark T-Bone> No place like it...
<JakeSK> Jess you sure you're allright?
<Jessie> I'm FINE!!
<Jake> you sure?
<Jessie> Jake... just cause I got a few cuts on my wrists....
<Jake> not only that.. you took a day off...
<Jessie> AIY.. I can't even hold a gun straight with my wrists like that!
<Jake> noted... but you be careful!
<Jessie> aren't I always ?
<Jake> ::doesn't say anything
<Jessie> what are you going to do back home?
<Dark Razor> ::shrugs:: Try to give the SWAT Kats a good name for a change maybe....
<JakeSK> You tell Feral that!! the one there shoots before asking questions!!
<Jessie> Dark Kat can try to get you on his side again...
<Dark Razor> He can go suck a lemon too.
<JakeSK> ::laffs::
<Jessie> ::snickers::
<Dark T-Bone> That's... scary...
<Dark Razor> What is?
<JakeSK> ((<Jake> what if he doesn't want a lemon? <Alt Razor> he can go suck... an orange!))
<Jessie and Jake> what is?
<Dark T-Bone> Your dimension's Feral...
<JakeSK> Not ours... yours... he gets enraged at the color of the Turbokat probably..
<Jessie> ::sighs:: and how are you doing Razor? ::means the Alt.::
<Dark Razor> Okay... Slept like a log...
<Jessie> got enough rest??
<Dark T-Bone> Ditto...
<Dark Razor> I could sleep for a few more weeks I think... That old warehouse didn't sleep so well...
<Dark T-Bone> And, bad on the back...
<Jessie> well get a good night's rest..... and somewhere SOFT!
<Dark T-Bone> ::exhausted anew, curls up and falls asleep again:
<Dark Razor> ::makes room for his partner onna couch::
<JakeSK> ::grins:: better get rest the easy way....
<Dark Razor> Yeah... ::yawns, lays his head down::
<JakeSK> ::smiles:: you two get some sleep before going anywhere!!
<Dark Razor> ::just mumbles an unintelligible reply::
<Dark Razor> ::is dozing lightly::
<Callie> ::drives into the garage:: <Chance> ::peeks out to see her:: It's Callie.

<JakeSK> uh-oh... ok... ::shakes Alt. T-Bone and Alt Razor awake:: problem guys.. we need ya to go downstairs..
<Dark T-Bone> Huh? ::wakes up::
<Dark Razor> Uh? Downstairs? Hangar?
<JakeSK> ::nods:: yup..
<Dark T-Bone> ::doesn't ask any questions, goes::
<Dark Razor> Right... ::gets up:: Hey, what about Sy? ::tries to shake him awake:: Uhm... He's... not waking up.
<JakeSK> Let 'im sleep...
<Dark Razor> T-Bone, can you carry him?
<Dark T-Bone> ::chuckles:: Sure.. ::picks Sy up in one arm, carries him downstairs::
<Dark Razor> ::follows:: ::later::
<DarkRazor> ::issa draped over one end of the battered couch kept down in the hangar, sleeping again... he took a beating::
<DarkT-Bone> ::just watches him, stands, and begins to pace::
<Alt Sypher> ::ended up on the other end of the couch, still out of it::
<KrisSK> ((Uhm... Kill the fake me?))
*** DarkRazor was kicked by DarkT-Bone (DarkT-Bone)
<DarkT-Bone> ((:salutes:: You got it!))
<DarkRazor> ((Now, don't that just sound right? ::reading the command line...::))
<DarkRazor> (("DarkRazor was kicked by DarkT-Bone"))
<DarkT-Bone> ((::DEAD!!!::))
<DarkRazor> ((Inna tush, no doubt....))
<DarkT-Bone> ((T'were pretty hard, too...))
<DarkRazor> ::mutters in his sleep::
<DarkT-Bone> ::perks his ears thataway::
<DarkT-Bone> ::blinks anew, then lets a sigh go into a shudder::
<DarkRazor> ::mutters again and rolls over, frowning in his sleep::
<DarkT-Bone> ::watches him:: <What's he dreamin'?>
<DarkRazor> ::wakes up abruptly with a soft moan::
<DarkT-Bone> Jake?
<DarkRazor> ::slits his eyes at the light:: Yeah, Chance?
<DarkT-Bone> You...okay?
<DarkRazor> Just.... a bad dream....
<DarkT-Bone> ::nods, still feels a bit hesitant: You...wanna tell me what it was?
<DarkRazor> More.... A memory really....
<DarkT-Bone> ::sits on the chair eyeing him:: About...?
<DarkRazor> Do... do you remember when we first became the SWAT Kats? Right after, we made the deal with Dark Kat? When we were still... friends and all?
<DarkT-Bone> Yes, I do...
<DarkRazor> ((<Razor> You're not getting married, Chance....))
<DarkT-Bone> ((::dies::))
<DarkRazor> ::looks down at his hands, tugging on his black gloves:: D-d'you... Remember how you always used to stand up for me?
<DarkT-Bone> ::looks at the floor, and nods:: And, you did the same..
<DarkRazor> Yeah.... But, you were.... You always threw something extra into it... Then... we just sorta stopped watching each others backs.... most of the time...
<DarkRazor> Then.... That day outside Puma-Dyne... when you shoved me out of the way and took that hit for me....
<DarkRazor> ::isn't even looking up now, is utterly ashamed::
<DarkT-Bone> I... ::feels his eyes beginning to water:: I did it because...
<DarkRazor> I know why YOU did it, Chance... I just want to know what was wrong with ME that I all I said to you was to get up off your butt and help me finish the job....
<DarkT-Bone> ::shakes his head, still is finding that hard to believe from his partner::
<DarkRazor> ::is crying now... and just hanging his head::
<DarkT-Bone> Jake, no... ::feels his tears come out:: It wasn't your fault...
<DarkRazor> Yes, it was. *I* said it.
<DarkT-Bone> But you shouldn't...
<DarkRazor> Why shouldn't I?!
<DarkRazor> Chance, you put your life on the line for me and I didn't even care. It's no wonder you almost left me with Dark Kat last time. I deserved it.
<DarkT-Bone> ::is just crying:: I won't let you blame yourself for it. I won't... Jake, you've been like a brother to me...
<DarkRazor> 'Cept for the last three years...
<DarkRazor> ((<T-Bone> My brother always tried to kick my butt too... It was just like home!))
<DarkRazor> ((<T-Bone> ::pause:: Although... He never launched a miniature ballistic missile at my head.... But, you weren't aiming to hit me, so it's okay!))
<DarkT-Bone> ((::DEAD::))
<DarkT-Bone> WIll you STOP it already?! Nothing happened to the two of us, okay? We're still alive...!
<DarkRazor> I know...
<DarkRazor> Just a lotta things I regret.... And... I keep wondering if this is gonna last....
<DarkRazor> In just a few hours, I've gone from hardened criminal to sobbing over every bad thing I did... and I don't know why.
<DarkRazor> ((<Dark Bryan> ::did, however, lay clever traps for Chance... he always was a sucker for Twinkie bait::))
<DarkT-Bone> ((::DEAD!!!::))
<DarkT-Bone> Because you know it's just not you.
<DarkRazor> But, how'd I come to that conclusion overnight?
<DarkT-Bone> ::sighs:: I...don't know... But you did... ::wipes away his tears::
<DarkRazor> And, you?
<DarkT-Bone> ::sighs anew...and shrugs:: It...I don't know...it...
<DarkRazor> I got taken over by Dark Kat's creation... and it brought us to our senses?
<DarkRazor> ((<T-Bone> I think in my case it was when I hit my head after you/Sypher blasted me...))
<DarkT-Bone> You think that would be the case...
<DarkT-Bone> ((::snorks::))
<DarkRazor> ::shakes his head:: All I know is.. I couldn't shoot Jessie... And, I couldn't kill my twin with him reminding me of what I was...
<DarkT-Bone> ::rubs his head fur:: What about in my case?
<DarkRazor> ::rubs his temples:: Then, Sypher and I took a very long trip down memory lane... in all of a couple seconds...
<DarkRazor> ::looks up at his partner:: I.... don't know about you...
<DarkT-Bone> ::sighs:: I wish I did... ::looks down at the floor anew::
<DarkRazor> Well... It doesn't matter... As long as it isn't something that will wear off...
<DarkT-Bone> ::small smile:: I sure hope not...
<DarkRazor> Same here, bud...
<DarkT-Bone> ::looks at him, and holds out a hand:: Shake on it?
<DarkRazor> You better believe it. ::reaches out to take his partner's hand::
<DarkT-Bone> ::shakes, with a tight grip::
<DarkRazor> ::does likewise::
<DarkT-Bone> Thanks, Jake.
<DarkRazor> Thanks? ::blinks::
<DarkT-Bone> For being the brother I never had...despite what happened in the past...
<DarkRazor> Same to you... ::smiling::
<DarkRazor> So.. now what? And, what do we do with our... "CyberDemon?" Is he breathing? Does he?
<DarkT-Bone> I don't know... ::goes to look at Sypher:: Um... hello?
<DarkRazor> ((<T-Bone> I dunno.... They any good for powering TVs?))
<Alt Sypher> ::is curled up inna ball.... slits his eyes open at T-Bone's words... has been returning to consciousness for a while now::
<DarkT-Bone> You...okay?
<DarkT-Bone> ((::dies::))
<Alt Sypher> Yeah... Just undoing Dark Kat's controls in my mind....
<DarkT-Bone> ::blinks:: Issit...helping?
<Alt Sypher> ::stretches his limbs up in the air like a lazy cat::
<Alt Sypher> I'm done now.
<DarkT-Bone> That's... okay.
<DarkT-Bone> ::ain't asking any questions::
<Alt Sypher> ::folds back into himself, crystal blue eyes calm:: I'm free of him now... ::musing:: And, I know everything the me of this world knows... But, I still don't know what to do with myself...
<DarkT-Bone> You're still staying with us, right?
<Alt Sypher> If you'll have me....
<DarkT-Bone> O'course!
<DarkRazor> ((<T-Bone> Breakfast or dinner?))
<Alt Sypher> ::smiles:: Thank you.
<DarkT-Bone> ((::dies::))
<DarkT-Bone> Welcome.
<Alt Sypher> Are YOU guys okay?
<DarkT-Bone> I...I guess so...
<Alt Sypher> ::cocks his head at him::
<DarkT-Bone> I mean... ::seems pensive:: How did...?
<Alt Sy> How did what?
<DarkT-Bone> How did all my memories... how did I leave my horrible past behind?
<Alt Sypher> Your partner was hurt. You forgot you were mad at him and went to help him....
<Alt Sypher> And then.... You *did* ask me to pull your mind back to before....
<DarkT-Bone> ::nods:: Right... now that you remind me.. Yes, I did...
<Alt Sypher> So,... ::hesitant:: ...I tugged a part of your mental facilities back in time while leaving you the knowledge of everything to present... It seemed to work...
<DarkRazor> ::trots over, listening::
<DarkT-Bone> Well... I'm glad you did...
<Alt Sypher> You asked me to.... And... I think... You'll fully return to the present in time.... But, you won't forget... For now, you're compelled to be your past self... But, you'll be able to chose eventually...
<DarkT-Bone> ::nods:: Okay... and, thanks...
<Alt Sypher> ::grins::
<DarkRazor> ::looks at his partner, then back at Sy:: So, it's not going to be that easy? That anger is going to come back to haunt us?
<DarkT-Bone> And, if it does... will it be as bad?
<Alt Sypher> You regret it now... You've realized what it did now...
<DarkT-Bone> And...?
<Alt Sypher> Now that you know... Would you want to go back?
<DarkT-Bone> ::looks down and shakes his head:: no.
<Alt Sypher> ::nods:: Then, see... Besides... If you two start trying to hurt each other, I'll just have to break it up.
<DarkT-Bone> ::grins: It's a deal.
<Alt Sypher> ::grins back, then mumbles:: You'll be fine... You're nice guys... ::needs to recharge, is getting sleepy... as he hasn't exactly been resting::
<DarkT-Bone> Thanks, and you're a good kid.
<Alt Sypher> ::dozes off grinning::
<DarkT-Bone> ::throws an arm around his partner inna headlock:: Boy, did I miss ya'!
<DarkRazor> ((<T-Bone> Awww...Ain't he cute... ::scoops up, bearhugs!:: <Sy> GAK!!!!!))
<DarkT-Bone> ((::DEAD!::))
<DarkRazor> ::squirms free:: Same here, bud... ::tackles, grinning::
::later:: <Alt Sypher> ::pops into the kitchen upstairs, looking for eats::
<ChanceSK> ::looks at Alt Sy, grins: How're they doing?
<Alt Sypher> Pretty good... We're a little hungry downstairs...
<ChanceSK> ::chuckles:: In that case, I better order a couple dozen pizzas...
<Alt Sypher> ::grins:: Pizza! ::knows what it tastes like having been in the DSKs heads::
<ChanceSK> ::grins, and goes to call::

And, so the Dark SWAT Kats are truly reunited.... But, will it last? Read on to find out! If you do, I'll stop. -- Join Me on the Dark Side... of the Farce!, Part 4
