the other out of his mind and into solidity in kitten form cuz he

hoping, but the demon still looked generic and still seems
soulless::

<DarkJessie> I c'n try! I don't need to kill four of you..
I just need you and him.. ::motions towards the AltChance::
<Alt Jake> Well, you'll have to go thru the other two to do
it and they have glovatrixes.
<DarkJessie> ::smirks:: so what?
<DarkJessie> ::looks for a way to do this without getting
her tail blown up::
<Alt Jake> Jessie... I searched every inch of that suit...
You don't have a weapon.
<Alt Chance> They sting like crazy.
<DarkJessie> you forget brother.. I have long claws...
<Matrix> We won't know 'til he shows it...

<Alt Chance> ::does the best he can to separate the both::
<AltSypher> ::keeps rubbing:: Well... He's not acting like
a demon... ::ears are still drooped... he's not talking either,

<DarkJessie> It's my job to get you two out of here and
back where you belong...::as she fights him:: and I always make
sure to finish my job..
<Matrix> Well, give him time...

<AltChance> Listen to him! ::manages to grab a hold of her
by the shoulders::
<AltTrix> Who are you?
<Alt Jake> And, then what? Dark Kat pays you? You beat him
up and YOU take over? What for?
<DarkJessie> Why should I? last time I listened to him the
result nearly killed me!
<Alt Jake> And, I'm sorry!
<DarkJessie> ::smirks:: who sez I was gonna do that?
<AltSypher> I'm Sypher. ::eyeing the kitt, trying to
connect to him mentally::

he'll compensate you for bringing us back!?
<DarkJessie> ::to Jake's asnwer:: yeah right!! ::as she's
starts fighting him a new::
<Alt Jake> Sypher. He absorbed everything your little
travelling companion knew.
<Alt Chance> ::keeps his grip:: You ever heard of a
doublecross?!
<DarkJessie> I'm not doing this for Dark Kat...
<Alt Jake> ::Is being a reluctant fighter as he doesn't
wanna hurt her::
<DarkJessie> I'm doing this for myself... Jessie Clawson
works for no one!
<Alt Jake> Then, why do YOU want us dead?!
<Alt Chance> You dare to hurt your own brother?!
<AltTrix> <::blinks:: You're... you're there...>

<Alt Jake> Oh dear...
<Alt Chance> This.... isn't good...
<AltSypher> <So, what's your name?>
<Jessie> I may be an Enforcer bu he's still my brother.!
Even if he isn't from this universe... you should care about your
friends first..your *family* comes first...
<AltSypher> ((<Trix> He's Noname. <AltTrix>
No, I'm Matrix! <Trix> You have to be Noname first! You
can't think of one faster'n me!))

<Alt Chance> ::tries to pull away the bad Jess away from
hurting her twin::
<Jessie> I won't let 'er do this to you!

you hurt her.
<Jessie> ::locks her eyes into Dark Jessie's:: listen...Jake

to be here a while, so you might as well talk.
<AltTrix> <Remember what?>

Chance chose to join him... Jess was another matter::

guilty of doing it..
<AltJake> We're hardly cleared either. ::notes Chance's

<Jessie> deep inside you're *STILL* a good guy...
<AltJessie> ::looks up at them...ears dropped down tho' ::
it's difficult to live with something like killing a fellow
Enforcer...
<Jessie> ::inna whisper:: I know...I know...
<AltJake> ::just says it cuz he wants her to be okay::
Sypher could take that away.
<AltJessie> w-what d'ya mean?
<AltJake> Erase it. Block it.
<AltJake> Make you forget.
<AltJessie> ::blinks:: is that...is that possible?
<AltJake> It is. I know they can do that.
<AltJessie> After what I did to him...I doubt he'd even
speak to me..
<AltJake> ::chuckles softly:: He will.
<AltJake> You didn't hurt him. And,... he's pretty
forgiving.
<AltJessie> I think I did hurt him... if not pshycially
then mentally at least.. .
<AltJessie> guns sticking in your face never goes unhurt
Jake.. I know that personally..
<AltJake> ::shakes his head:: No. He was just worried about
that CyberDemon you came with...
<RegularJake> ::passing thru briefly, grins at her:: And,
the CyberKats don't mind guns.
<Alt_Jessie> ::looks down:: if he wil forgive me then let
him do it..
<AltJake> ::nods:: As soon as he gets back.
<Alt_Jessie> ::whispers:: okay...
<Alt_Jessie> Jake.. I'm sorry ....about everything..
<AltJake> I'm sorry too.
<AltChance> And, so am I.
<Alt_Jessie> ::hugs him:: I'm sorry for hurting you in the
past guys...
<AltJake> ::hugs him back:: Same here, Jess....
<Jessie> ::smiles at that::
<Alt_Jessie> I promise I'll change..... as long as Sypher
can forgive me and erase the memory...
<AltChance> :;grins, grabs AltJessie up inna bear hug::
<Alt_Jessie> URK.. C-chance.... I missed that... ::finally
grins::
<AltChance> ::grins:: I know ya' did.
<AltJake> ::chuckles::
<Alt_Jessie> T-thanks... thanks for everything guys..
<AltChance> You know it.
<Jessie> ::just grins::
<Alt Sypher> ::to Alt Trix:: Methinks we should head back
before you scare your twin more...
<Alt Trix> Me? Scare him?
<Alt_Jessie> ::looks at AltJake:: Jake... I'm sorry for
calling you crud before... Very sorry..
<Alt Sypher> ::nods to Trix::
<AltJake> I'm over it. ::hugs her::
<Matrix> ::finally stands his ground:: I'm okay. You're
good. ::grins::
<Alt Trix> ::razz::
<Matrix> ::returns it::
<Alt_Jessie> but still.. I'm sorry...
<Alt Sypher> ::laughs at them::
<Sypher> ::sighs at them::
<AltJake> Apology accepted. Anytime.
<Alt_Jessie> ::smiles:: t-thanks..
<AltJake> ::grins at her::
<Allt Trix> ::grins::
<Alt Sypher> Soooo... Is mine really less cynical? Is that
possible?
<Matrix> Are you kiddin' me?!
<Alt_Jessie> Crud Jake.. what would've happen if I....
carried out Dark Kat's orders?
<Alt Sypher> ::blinks at him::
<AltJake> You wouldn'tve.
<AltChance> ::nods::
<Alt_Jessie> w-what if I would've...I was about to..
<AltJake> But, you didn't. And, we didn't bomb Enforcer HQ.
So, there's no sense in chasing the "what ifs?" around.
<AltChance> They're pointless.
<Alt_Jessie> <Jessie> you woudn't've... I know you
would not do it...
<Alt_Jessie> ::shivers a bit:: g-guess you're right...
<Alt_Jessie> it is pointless..
<Alt Trix> We better head back...
<Alt Sypher> ::nods a bit::
<Sypher> <Don't worry. You'll get ta' know 'im fine.
And, cynic or otherwise, he's still lovable... Just... beat him
up every now and then.> ::grins::
<Matrix> <I heard that! Don't you dare!>
<Sypher> ::tackles him::
<Matrix> HEY!! ::headlocks him::
<Alt Trix> Um...
<Alt_Jessie> just hope Sypher can do what you said he can...
<Jessie> he will don't worry...
<Alt Sypher> <Let's go, huh?>
<Alt Trix> <Yeah...>
<Alt Sypher> ::zaps out:: <Follow me.>
<Alt Trix> <::as he watches the two duke it out:: Um...
sure...> ::follows::
<Matrix> Now look what you did! You scared 'em!
<Sypher> Oh, they'll be fine.
<AltSypher> <::as they go:: You okay?>
<Matrix> Riiiiiiiiight.... ::tackles him again::
<Jason> ::inna meeting with the director:: <And, they're
at it again... ::sighs::>
<AltJake> ((Ooooo... Want to meet the director!))
<AltJake> ((<Sage> Not now! <Kris> Why not?
<Sage> He has a headache right now, okay? <Kris> ::pout::
Saaaaage, why do you hafta be soooo meeeeeaaaaaaan?!))
<AltChance> ((You want to meet Down to Earth Mark?))
<AltChance> ((::DEAD!!!!!!::))
<Alt_Jessie> ((DIED!))
<AltJake> ((I think it'd be funny for him to meet Sy
and Trix.))
<Alt_Jessie> Jake.. ::looks at him:: I missed you bro.. ::as
she hugs him tightly::
<Sypher> ::rolls, flips him off::
<AltJake> Missed you too, Jess...
<AltJake> ::hugs back::
<AltChance> ((Well then. Let's give 'im a coronary,
shall we?))
<Alt_Jessie> ((ROFL!!!))
<Matrix> ::growls, tackles anew::
<SypherSK> ::goes acoherent::
<MatrixSK> ::slams into the wall:: Ow! Hey! ::rubs his head::
<Jason> ::perks his ears, then groans, burying his head
into his arms::
<SypherSK> Neener, neener! ::jumps into the power stream::
<Mark> ::Oh, he heard that:: I thought you got rid of the
rat problem. ::grins::
<MatrixSK> You little!!! ::chases!::
<SypherSK> ((<Jase> S'not rats... <Mark>
What is it? <Jase> ::sob:: Newbies!))
<Jason> Those... aren't rats... They're... two newbies we
recluted not too long ago...
<MatrixSK> ((::DEAD!!!!!::))
<SypherSK> ((recluted?))
<Alt_Jessie> ((Dies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))
<Alt_Jessie> ((::snorks!!::))
<Mark> ::raised brow::
<Jason> ::rubs his eyes:: You'd hafta' meet them yourself...
<SypherSK> ((<Mark> Jason... I like the rat
theory better... ::quietly:: <Jase> Then, they're rats, Sir.))
<MatrixSK> ((DEAD, Sy!!))
<SypherSK> ::lights above Jase and Mark splutter::
<Jason> ::groans anew:: And... here they come...
<Mark> ::blinks:: Trouble with the lighting?
<Jason> Not... really....
<SypherSK> ::gets knocked out of the stream by a nudge from
Trix::
<SypherSK> ::thumps into the room in acoherent form::
<SypherSK> ((<Mark> Great oogly-moogly!))
<MatrixSK> ((DEADDEADDEAD!!!!!!!!! I was thinking
"jehosephat" meself!))
<SypherSK> ((::DIeS!::))
<Mark> ::blinks::
<Jason> Newbie number 1...
<MatrixSK> ::leaps out later:: HA!!!!! Got ya!!
<SypherSK> ::starts to jump back in, then senses Jase and
Mark, turns to look at them, remembers the meeting:: Crud.
<SypherSK> ::as Trix comes in:: <Chill, Trix! It's the
big boss!>
<MatrixSK> <Big boss?>
<Jason> Newbie number 2....
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> <The Big Kahuna?>
<Sy> <Yes.> <Trix> <The Big Cheese?>
<Sy> <Yes.> <Trix> <The Head Honcho?>
<Sy> <YES!>))
<Mark> ::just blinks::
<MatrixSK> ((DEAD!!!))
<SypherSK> <The director.>
<MatrixSK> ::freezes, goes solid anew and sees Mark:: SIR!
::salutes!!::
<SypherSK> ::stands and solidifies:: Excuse me, Sirs.. I
apologize for me and my colleague's rude interruption. ::inches
for door:: We'll just be going now... ::grab Trix::
<Mark> ::blinks, looks into his coffee::
<SypherSK> ((<Mark> I'll never buy this funky
French brand again!))
<MatrixSK> Um... heh. Nice ta' meet ya', Director, Sir, um...
you know. ::is drug out::
<SypherSK> ::isn't there yet, but oh, he's goin::
<SypherSK> ((<Mark> Who spiked my coffee? This
isn't even a *good* trip!))
<Jason> ::can't help it, begins to crack up. He's known
Mark for years, he'll be okay::
<Mark> JUST a minute.
<SypherSK> ::freezes:: Sir? ::looks back::
<MatrixSK> Big ch... er... Sir? ::ditto::
<SypherSK> ((<Mark> What... in the holy, good,
blessed beard and name of Good King Wenceslas... are you?!))
<Mark> ::points to the head of the table:: Please, be
seated.
<SypherSK> ((::pants, thinks she covered it all there::))
<MatrixSK> ((::DEAD!!!!!!::))
<SypherSK> ::quivers inwardly, but makes no outward sign
beyond a nod and goes to sit... dragging Trix::
<MatrixSK> ::forces himself to follow::
<SypherSK> ::sits all proper-like, slipping into computer
mood to hide his embarrassment::
<Mark> ::clears his throat:: So... these are the... "technical"
kats that have been working inside our computer? ::heard about
the recruits, he didn't know they were newbies::
<Jason> ::looks at them:: If you wanna put it that way,
yeah...
<SypherSK> ::looks to Jase, seems to be asking, "how
much does he know?"::
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> Please, Sir, I'm only three
and a half months old... HAVE MERCY!!! ::sob on shirt::))
<MatrixSK> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Jason> ::nods at Sy, has that look of "nothing much
yet"::
<SypherSK> <Okay, Trix.. Good impression time.>
<MatrixSK> ::looks at Mark, clears his throat a tad::
<MatrixSK> <You don't need to tell me twice>
<SypherSK> ::is outwardly completely calm... has his old
face he always gave Dark Kat back::
<Mark> So, tell me. Who are you? What are you? ::means them
to tell him, not Jase::
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> *SMACK!* Don't make that
kinda face at the Boss!))
<MatrixSK> ((ROFL!!!!))
<SypherSK> I'm Sypher, Sir. This is my brother Matrix.
We're organic artificial intelligences.
<SypherSK> ::ain't coughing up who made them 'til he has to::
<SypherSK> ((<Mark> ::looooooks at Sy...
looooooks at Trix... ain't seein' no family resemblance::))
<MatrixSK> ::nods:: We're... "CyberKats"... would
be the right word...
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> He takes after Dad. ::in-jab::
<Sypher> ::glower::))
<MatrixSK> ((::snoooooooooooork!!::))
<MatrixSK> ((::is sooooooooooo dead::))
<Mark> Cyberkats. ::nods:: I've heard of your technical
help here. What other abilities do you have?
<SypherSK> We.... can go acoherent - what you just saw -
transform between matter and energy at will.
<SypherSK> We can hold considerable extra energy reserves
that we can... "unleash" in self-defense.
<MatrixSK> ::nods:: And... And... he said it.
<SypherSK> We can remote link to your computer... or any
other we can alter to our programming.
<SypherSK> We process information... at a speed roughly
equivalent to that of a computer's 500 gigabyte processor... ::it's
a futuristic world, they have those::
<Mark> ::nods:: Right. For how long have you been staying
here?
<SypherSK> The last month, Sir.
<MatrixSK> ::is sorta nervous::
<Jason> ::is leaning against the wall, listening to it all::
<SypherSK> ::is nervous himself::
<SypherSK> ::spontaneously challenges Trix to mental Tic-Tac-Toe
just to have something else to do::
<Mark> ::nods:: Begins to pace around the room, looking out
the window, etc.::
<SypherSK> ::the more Mark paces the faster those little
X's and O's are getting tossed onto the mental grid::
<MatrixSK> <Argh... ::as he plays tic-tac-toe:: I hate
it when they do that "pace, think, pace, let me scare you,
then approve your stay"...>
<Jason> How much thought do you have to give it, Jones?
<SypherSK> <You're seen this before? ::aside:: Make it
best 260 out of 500?>
<MatrixSK> <I've watched too much T.V.... and yes. I'll
accept that challenge>
<SypherSK> ::means game rounds as they're doin' it so fast::
<Mark> Not much thought. I've got no issues with them. I'm
just trying to figure out how this office goes through $500 worth
of coffee and donuts worth in a matter of three days?
<SypherSK> ::blinks, pausing the game, didn't think they
ate that much::
<Jason> ::tries to cough a laugh:: Um.... we're ten legal
vigilantes with a passion for the stuff? Besides, the chinese is
in that menu, too.
<SypherSK> ::goes back over every donut he's eaten since he
got there...forgets nothing, so he knows the exact number....
gulps::
<MatrixSK> ::ditto, gulps himself::
<Mark> Chinese... I forgot the chinese...
<SypherSK> We could eat less, Sir. Well, frankly, we could
not eat at all.
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> Shuddup, Sy.))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!::))
<Mark> ::blinks::
<MatrixSK> Um... could you disregard whatever my brother
said?
<Jason> ::can't take it, busts out laughing, sliding to the
floor::
<SypherSK> We eat purely for pleasure, Sir. We can live
fine off the raw energy available from the powerlines..
<SypherSK> ::loooooks as Jase, glare at Trix::
<Mark> Interesting, I might say. ::looks at Jase:: You
know? Sometimes I wonder why I leave you in charge of this group?
Have you bought them GameBoys for their free time?
<Jason> ::tries to sober:: N... not yet!
<SypherSK> We came with our own games, thanks, Sir.
<MatrixSK> Yep.
<SypherSK> ((<Mark> Really?! Do you have Quake 3?
<Sy> I can download it... <Mark> Do it!))
<Mark> ::shakes his head:: You lunatic. I c'n see it's the
same old, same old, except with new people, huh?
<MatrixSK> ((::DEAD::))
<SypherSK> ::is a hair confused::
<MatrixSK> <I'm lost>
<SypherSK> <Ditto.>
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> ::is several hairs confused::))
<Jason> Pretty much, yeah. It's not gonna change. ::as he
picks himself up::
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!::))
<Mark> That's what scares me.
<MatrixSK> <Is this where we run out screaming?>
<SypherSK> <I don't know....>
<SypherSK> ::has this need to be totally honest:: Uhm...
Captain... Had you discussed with the Director our... dubious
origin?
<MatrixSK> <SY!!!!! ::horrified!::>
<SypherSK> ((<Jase> Oh, I know where you come
from. On good days, when you fix my comp - Heaven. On bad days
when you blow the fuses and scare the visitors... Heck.))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!::))
<SypherSK> <Well, he needs to know!>
<Mark> Origin? Something you haven't told me?
<SypherSK> Sir... You can hardly assume we were born this
way.
<Jason> ::looks at Mark:: Well....
<Mark> Well... yeah. Tell me. :sits::
<SypherSK> Well... point of fact, we were born this way....
Only we weren't born. We were programmed... created... by Dark
Kat.
<MatrixSK> What he said...
<SypherSK> ((<Mark> ::leaps onto back of chair to
cling it to:: Dark Kat Spawn!))
<MatrixSK> ((DEADDEADDEADISSOOOOOOOOOOODEADDEADDEAD!!!))
<Mark> ::blinks:: Dark Kat?!
<SypherSK> ::nods:: I was his first trusted second in
command...And, likely his last considering...
<Mark> How... did you... switch sides...?
<SypherSK> I... I became a person, Sir.
<MatrixSK> And... he helped me...
<MatrixSK> We...found our...souls...
<SypherSK> ::nods:: We were created as programs...
computers... machines... not kats.
<Mark> Am I assured that you're not here to perform some...
::waves a hand at this: You're not spying on us?
<Jason> ::smacks a hand against his head:
<MatrixSK> No, Sir! ::quickly::
<SypherSK> ::ears droop:: I can only say I am not, Sir.
<SypherSK> ::doesn't dare leap into Mark::
<Mark> ::smirks:: I'll trust you in that. I don't think the
captain would have hired you should he had been suspicious...
<Jason> ::nods::
<MatrixSK> ::looks at Sy::
<SypherSK> ::hopes he does trust him... really only has the
SWAT Kats' good word and the little mental convo he had with Jase
to support him::
<Mark> Well. I believe you're good to go. ::grins:: Welcome
to the Bureau.
<SypherSK> ::smiles back:: Thank you, Sir.
<MatrixSK> Thank you. ::nods:: Um... permission to be
excused?
<Mark> ::chuckles:: Granted.
<SypherSK> <Zap out?>
<Jason> ::shakes his head, reassures them with a grin::
<MatrixSK> <Zap out.> ::goes acoherent and goes::
<SypherSK> ::goes after:
<SypherSK> <Think he really believes us?>
<MatrixSK> <I sure hope so...>
<MatrixSK> <Challenge you to a net surf>
<SypherSK> <Sure!>
<SypherSK> ::zoooom!::
<AltSypher> ::has meanwhile solidified on the roof of the
garage with his Trix::
<MatrixSK> <I didn't give you the go ahead! ::laughs,
goes after!::>
<AltTrix> ::zaps there::
<AltSypher> ::watches him appear::
<AltTrix> So... this is it?
<AltSypher> It? ::cocks his head::
<AltTrix> As in... where they live?
<AltSypher> Well,... Where they are for now. We and OUR
SWAT Kats come from another universe.
<AltTrix> Oh... ::nods:: So... are we supposed to be taking
them back?
<AltSypher> We can?
<AltTrix> I thought we could... Unless I got the info some
place else...
<AltSypher> You know how to go between dimensions?
<AltTrix> I... if I use the right commands... I might...
<AltSypher> ::ears prick forward:: Show me. ::means
mentally::
<AltTrix> ::nods, and sends him the information...showing
him open an opening::
<AltSypher> ::nods as he gets it:: It just might work.
<AltTrix> You think it will?
<AltSypher> ::nods::
<AltTrix> OKay. We'll give it a shot later. ::grins::
<AltSypher> ::pause, random thought:: <You really find
the other... us's.... scary?>
<AltTrix> <Nah... Just wanted to give them the benefit
of the doubt...>
<AltSypher> ::chuckles:: <Are... Are we... *them*?>
<Alt Trix> <Inna way... yeah. ::grins::>
<AltSypher> ::leans on the edge, looking out::
<AltSypher> ::is thinking:: <Is that good?>
<AltTrix> <In my opinion... yeah.>
<AltSypher> ::turns to look at him:: <You think?>
<AltSypher> <I mean... I like my twin... But, it's...
odd... to see what you... are supposed? to become...>
<AltTrix> <::just grins:: I think>
<AltSypher> <And, you.... ::still isn't sure he's ready
for that cynical thing... is very much a little kid of a CyberKat::>
<AltTrix> < I don't know... I'll probably find out soon...
I just hope... I don't have my twin's attitude...>
<AltSypher> ::nods:: <Wish I had my twin's strength...
He was never this scared... Of... of what I do next...>
<AltTrix> <Well... we're new to it all...Methinks..
we'll know>
<AltSypher> <I hope. The SWAT Kats're gonna need some
help.... At least... *I* have to help them.>
<AltTrix> <::shakes his head:: *We're* going to help
them>
<AltSypher> <You don't even know them yet.>
<AltTrix> <Well, I trust you enough to trust them...>
<AltSypher> <Alright. Suppose you should merge with them
like your twin? Anything you can learn from it?>
<AltTrix> <Not to be in touch with Chance's cynical side
::small grin::>
<AltSypher> <Oh, he's just a big bundle of emotion.>
<AltTrix> <Good! That's a good thing!>
<AltSypher> <::nods::>
<AltSypher> <You... you aren't doing this for me, are
you? Trying not to be a cynic?>
<AltTrix> <Me? Of course not!>
<AltTrix> <That is... I just don't see me as a cynic...>
<AltSypher> <::chuckles:: Just be yourself. Whatever you
are. Just having someone to talk to like this is enough for me...>
<AltTrix> ::grins:: <Thanks, Sy. ::huggle feeling:>
<AltSypher> ::hugs him for real::
<AltTrix> ::grins, and hugs him back::
