<SypherSK> ::is finishing up whatever Dark Kat left him doing::
<TrinaSK> ::is at the entrance of MBI HQ, checking her watch. Last
her mun recalls, Jessie was supposed to stop by...methinks...::
<SypherSK> ::is.... readying the bomb or some such::
<Dark_Kat> ::is checking out his instruments::
<SypherSK> ::steps up to Dark Kat and waits to be recognized::
<SypherSK> ((<Dark Kat> ::squints at him for a few:: Oh yeah!
I know you!))
<TrinaSK> ((ROFL!))
<Dark_Kat> ((::DEAD::))
<Dark_Kat> Sypher did you finish what I told you to do..
<Dark_Kat> (( I have no idea what that is though...))
<SypherSK> Yes, Sir. The bomb is prepped for launch and scanners
show no signs of SWAT Kat pursuit.
<Dark_Kat> excellent..
<Dark_Kat> we shall take off soon..
<JessieSK> ::stops by the MBI HQ to pick Trina up::
<SypherSK> ::nods:: Good, Sir.
<TrinaSK> ::sees her car, jogs down the steps and gets in::
<JessieSK> hey...
<Creeplings> ::scamper about, chuckle at Sy, try to bug 'im, etc....my,
they can get annoying fast::
<Dark_Kat> ::is still checking his instruments:: Sypher!!! double
check everything!!
<TrinaSK> Hey. ::as she fastens her seatbelt::
<SypherSK> As you wish, Sir. ::starts doing so::
<JessieSK> was about to tell you this....
<TrinaSK> What?
<JessieSK> ::shifts the car in gear and goes for....::
<JessieSK> to fasten your seatbelt..
<TrinaSK> Oh....
<T-Bone> ::is holding tools for Razor::
<JessieSK> never know when an armed assasin might be after you..
<TrinaSK> Last I heard, the Turbokat did an emergency landing n
the desert...
<Razor> thanks buddy...
<Razor> ::is fixing the jet or trying ta::
<T-Bone> No prob... ::removes his helmet to mop the sweat from his
face::
<JessieSK> I hope they're okay... I heard it on the radio..wish
I could be there though...
<JessieSK> but no stuck with the evil paperwork...
<SypherSK> ((<Trina> But... What armed assassin would be after
*me*? <Jessie> Do you know what they do when you don't return
Blockbuster videos for two months? ::seriously:: <Trina> Eep!))
<TrinaSK> ((::DIESDIESDEAD!!!!::))
<JessieSK> ((::DEAD::))
<Razor> ::mutters something about an extra coating to the jet once
they get home::
<T-Bone> ::mutters something about hating crashlanding in the desert::
<TrinaSK> I sure hope so...whatever occured at the Megakat Plant
is gonna be big...::sighs:: And, finding Dark Kat is like trying to search
for a needle in a hay stack...
<SypherSK> ((<T-Bone> And, thwaps his mun as she nearly types
"dessert"::))
<TrinaSK> ((::dies!:: Trina's mun almost did the same thing!))
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<JessieSK> maybe but at least we know where the haystack is...
<SypherSK> ((<Trina> Yeah... Which planet....))
<TrinaSK> ((::dies!::))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<TrinaSK> ::nods:: True...
<Razor> ::sighs:: It's the best I can do, buddy....you better check
ta' see if she'll take off....
<SypherSK> ::completely his checks... with creeplings poking him
right and left::
<T-Bone> Roger that... ::goes around to leap onto the wing and then
climb into the pilot's seat::
<Dark_Kat> ::hums a tune:: today Megakat City will be ashes within
the next hour.
<JessieSK> if only I had a tracer on Dark Crud..
<T-Bone> ::tries to start the engines::
<TrinaSK> Makes two of us...not even our computer can find his location...
<T-Bone> Rock n' roll! ::as the engines roar to life::
<Razor> Bingo!
<JessieSK> and my GPS won't do any good either...
<JessieSK> ((as he gets blown by the engines))
<TrinaSK> ((::dies!!::))
<TrinaSK> ((<Razor> Bing-owwwwww!!!!))
<JessieSK> ((had ta put that in..))
<SypherSK> ((<Razor> ::head in engine... gets hair blown
back, face blackened:: Bingooooo!))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<TrinaSK> ((::dies!::))
<JessieSK> ((<Razor> oh man I'm gonna need anew haircut after
this..))
<TrinaSK> ((<Razor> And my fur redyed...))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<SypherSK> ((::snickers!::))
<JessieSK> ((<T-Bone> at least ya don't have paint stuck in
your fur this time. <Razor gets hit by a canister of black paint> you
and your big mouth!!!))
<T-Bone> Get up here, Razor, and let's fly!
<TrinaSK> ::sighs:: Well, we're gonna hafta' start from the beginning...using
those rods fer a bomb is no surprise...it's when he's gonna strike that
concerns me..
<Razor> ::hops into the WSO's seat::
<JessieSK> Sometime today..before nightfall....which could mean
anywere within the next 3 hours..
<TrinaSK> ::raised brow:: How would you know that?
<JessieSK> judging by his last raids at the power plant...
<JessieSK> doesn't take him too long to make the bomb...
<T-Bone> ::gets 'er in the air:: We good to continue after Dark
Crud?
<Razor> ::checks his instruments and yadda:: Hrm...well, we're still
stocked on missiles...I'd say we are...
<TrinaSK> ((<Razor> So good to have my yadda back!))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<T-Bone> Think your mods to the wing will hold? ::had
part of the wing clipped::
<Razor> I sure hope so...::pauses to grin:: If we go down, that
means they didn't...you do have yer jetpack on, right?
<T-Bone> ::head in one hand, flying with the other:: Of course.
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<TrinaSK> ((::laffs::))
<Razor> ::chuckles:: Just takin' precautions, bud.
<T-Bone> Let's hope we don't need it... So, what was Big Purple's
last trajectory?
<Dark_Kat> ((<DK> I am not big Purple!!!))
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Well, you are... rather large, Sir...
and certainly purple.))
<Dark_Kat> ((I'm JUST purple))
<TrinaSK> ((::dead!::))
<Dark_Kat> ((large my butt!!! it's not large...))
<Dark_Kat> ((I mean I am not large.....))
<Razor> I lost him in the radar...although...that last cave we checked
may've had a few close by...
<T-Bone> Roger that.... ::heads that way::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> ::holds his tongue - never good to tell
the boss he has a big butt....even if it's true::))
<Dark_Kat> ((DEAD))
<TrinaSK> ((::Is Dead::))
<TrinaSK> ::is in a pensive state::
<JessieSK> ::drums her fingers on the dashboard:: where can he be???
<JessieSK> ::issa driving around the city heading in the direction
of the powerplant::
<Dark_Kat> Sypher is everything doublechecked?? I don't want any
accidents..
<TrinaSK> :pauses to look up, then stops:: Look! The Turbokat! ::points::
<JessieSK> SO it is..beter follow it..they know where to go..
<SypherSK> Yes, Sir. All systems check out.... ::pauses::
However, sensors report a distant, fast-moving aircraft with the TurboKat's
profile.
<Dark_Kat> Load the bomb hurry!!!
<SypherSK> Yes, Sir! ::gets to it::
<Dark_Kat> can't thouse two die already?
<Razor> ::sees his radar:: T-Bone...I'm getting a signal...
<JessieSK> ::takes out her radio:: Lt. Jessie Clawson to the Turbokat,
come in guys.
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> But, Sir... If they died, the series
would end and we'd all be out of a job...))
<Dark_Kat> ((LOL))
<T-Bone> T-Bone here - we read you.
<TrinaSK> ((::Dies!::))
<Razor> ::pauses to listen::
<T-Bone> ::is always first on the radio - never know when it might
be Callie::
<JessieSK> Guys do you know where Dark Crud went?
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<TrinaSK> ((ROFL!! Good ol' T-Bone))
<JessieSK> we're trying to follow him..sort of..
<T-Bone> Razor thinks the caves in the mountains.
<Razor> Affirmative. Right outside the city.
<JessieSK> Roger....we'll see you there..try to safe some for us..
<Razor> Us? Please don't tell me Feral's with you...
<T-Bone> Pleeeeasse don't!
<JessieSK> Do I look like I'm flying a chopper???
<JessieSK> It's me and Lt Korat
<Razor> We don't see you...
<JessieSK> exactly..
<JessieSK> look down..
<JessieSK> see the Enforcer sedan?
<Razor> Which one outta the fifty? ::grin in his voice::
<SypherSK> ::gets bomb loaded, kicking creeplings outta the way::
<JessieSK> hold on a sec. ::opens the window and holds out her gun::
the one that has a gun sticking out of the window
<Creeplings> ::scatter about, chattering and yadda::
<Dark_Kat> Watch the Creeplings Sypher....
<Dark_Kat> I need them..
<Razor> That's not helping!! ::is laughing::
<Dark_Kat> ::gets into the ship::
<Razor> You look like ants down there!
<JessieSK> Razor!!!!!
<SypherSK> ::nods to DK::
<JessieSK> look for one that's driving erratically..
<Creepling> ::growls, tries to tackle Sy::
<SypherSK> ::zaps it one::
<Creepling> ::goes flying back, nails the main consol::
<Dark_Kat> Fools stop it!!!
<Dark_Kat> It'll take ages to fix...
<SypherSK> ::goes to fix it, calling back to DK:: Sorry, Sir...
<Razor> ::sighs and checks his radar:: OH! The one that's
nailing every stop sign there is? ::Jessie's his sister, he has a right
to irritate her::
<Dark_Kat> Fix it before my temper isn't high off the scale.
<SypherSK> ::thinks for a minute:: Perhaps not... ::dematerializes,
converting his body to energy, and leaps into the console - inside repair
job::
<JessieSK> ::sighs:: just check the tracer you gave me...
<TrinaSK> I take it he takes pride on getting on your nerves? ::to
Jessie, doesn't know anything about a certain sister/brother relationship::
<T-Bone> Hey, Razor... Call off the sibling rivalry for a
sec... We're gettin' close.
<JessieSK> maybe he does maybe he doesnt..I'll ask him next time..
<Razor> Roger that...::turns the intercom again:: We're getting
close. Meet you there?
<JessieSK> Roger that..
<JessieSK> oh an T-Bone none of that "Race you to the meeting place"
bit this time..
<TrinaSK> ::checks her handgun as they talk::
<Dark_Kat> ::mumbles something about what incompetent workers he
has::
<T-Bone> ::chuckles and flashes his trademark grin although it can't
be seen::
<SypherSK> ::pulls off the main power grid to snag raw energy for
the repair job::
<Razor> ::chuckles:: Over and out, Lt. Clawson. ::feels weird calling
her that...he hasta get used to it::
<JessieSK> ::turns back to driving the car::
<Razor> How far away are we, bud?
<JessieSK> ::mumbles under her breath:: those guys are driving me
insane..
<T-Bone> Two miles and closing.... at subsonic speeds.
<Razor> Roger that.
<Dark_Kat> Hurry up Sypher!!! those meddling SK's are almost here..
<SypherSK> ::reappears... half-solidified:: Major repairs
are complete. If you'd begin take-off now, Sir, I can have it completed
momentarily...
<Dark_Kat> Right...hurry up!!! ::tries ta take off..::
<SypherSK> ::leaps back into the console, re-routes power, gets
main systems up, goes for subsystems::
<Dark_Kat> ::mumbles:: he's better then HD...mind you HD is stupid..
<SypherSK> ((<Creeplings> And, what're we, boss?! <Dark
Kat> I'll have you informed when I figure out what's below amoebas...
<Creeplings> ::think that's funny and laugh:: <Dark Kat> ::sighs::
I'm surrounded by idiots...))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<TrinaSK> ((::DIES!::))
<T-Bone> We're in scanner range!
<Razor> I copy, bud. Let's see if we can stop 'im before he takes
off...
<T-Bone> Roger that.... Just point me to the right cave..
<JessieSK> ::Gets to the cave steps out of her car, looks around::
<SypherSK> ::finishes up most of his work::
<Razor> Located. ::as he eyes his radar:: To the far right...below
the mountain...
<T-Bone> I'm settin' 'er down.
<TrinaSK> ::looks around herself:: We charge in and walk out?
<Razor> Roger that.
<JessieSK> wait...we don't know where he is in there..
<JessieSK> ::making sure all her guns are there::
<TrinaSK> ::pauses to see the T-Kat land:: Maybe they do...
<T-Bone> ::sets down a ways from Jessie's car so as not to blow
too much sand on the girls::
<TrinaSK> ::covers her eyes as he lands::
<JessieSK> Maybe..
<TrinaSK> ((<T-Bone> ::accidentally fires up the VTOL engines::
<Girls> ::are covered in sand from head to toe::))
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie> if he says that was an accident I'll
kill him..))
<SypherSK> ((<Razor> ::snickers:: <Jessie>
::decks him:: <T-Bone> ::faces Trina with a straight face...gets
decked anyways::))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<T-Bone> ::leaps out::
<JessieSK> nice landing T-Bone..
<JessieSK> any trace of Dark Kat?
<TrinaSK> ((::dies!:: <T-Bone> ::on Jessie's comment:: I did
it on purpose))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<T-Bone> ::points to Razor::
<JessieSK> ((oh on purpose? okay then.. in that case.. ::decks
T-Bone::))
<Razor> ::as he leaps out, G-Trix ready:: He's in the south end
of the cave.
<JessieSK> lets go then..
<Razor> Prolly ready ta' leave as we speak::
<Dark_Kat> Take off Sypher!!!!!
<JessieSK> why am I not surprised? :
<TrinaSK> We won't get there on time if we run, much less walk...
<SypherSK> ::does so::
<SypherSK> ((<T-Bone> I can't win!))
<T-Bone> We have a Cyclotron and a Sand-Kat...
<JessieSK> ((::grins::))
<Razor> ::turns to T-Bone:: Use the regular transport? ::means
the C-Tron: And, there's an extra one in the bay...just in case...
<TrinaSK> ((ROFL!!))
<T-Bone> ::nods::
<T-Bone> ::punches a button on his g-trix and the T-Kat lowers out
the first c-tron::
<JessieSK> ::throws her helmet in the car:: why am I always wearing
it anyway?
<Razor> ::punches the second button to get out the second C-Tron::
<T-Bone> Probably to protect your head... ::to Jessie as he climbs
on the first c-tron::
<JessieSK> verry funny T-Bone...
<T-Bone> ::shrugs::
<Razor> ::chuckles as he gets on his C-Tron:: Let's get going. ::motions
Jessie to come with him::
<TrinaSK> ::shakes her head with a smile::
<JessieSK> ::does so::
<TrinaSK> ::sits behind T-Bone::
<T-Bone> Looks like you're with me, Lt. Korat.... ::grins::
Hang on! ::revvs the engine twice and guns it::
<Razor> hey, bud! ::evil grin: Race ya'! ::goes!::
<TrinaSK> ::hangs on tight::
<T-Bone> ::bonus wheelie added too:: ::calling back to Razor::
If you can catch me!
<JessieSK> whoa....how do I get into those things?? ::hangs on tight::
<JessieSK> Max afterburners Razor... lets show 'im who's da boss..
<TrinaSK> <At least...it's not the jet...> ::teeth are clenched...what's
the matter with her? She's got her own cycle!::
<Razor> ::revvs up the cycle a tad more and manages to catch up::
<SypherSK> ::gets DK's craft moving....::
<Razor> Jus' try not ta' fall off, Jess...::grin::
<Dark_Kat> those two are already here...if you hadn't messed things
up...
<JessieSK> me fall off?? never....::is holding on tighter::
<TrinaSK> ::sees the ship:: They're about to leave!
<JessieSK> ::looks at Sage::
<SypherSK> ::makes no real response.... isn't really programmed
to react to failure anyway other than coming up with a new plan::
<Razor> ::chuckles, then looks ahead:: We gotta stop them from takin'
off!
<JessieSK> Roger...any idea how??
<T-Bone> ::cuts the throttle and falls back by Razor where he'd
been a bit ahead:: We got firepower...
<Razor> ::brakes the C-Tron:: We can't fire from here...he's got
those nuclear rods...we could get fried...
<JessieSK> and I bet Dark Crud's got a force field
<JessieSK> or worse....
<T-Bone> Crud!
<TrinaSK> Somehow we gotta get in there...
<SypherSK> ::adds power to the shields and opens fire on the SKs::
<JessieSK> any idea how?? say guys can ya give me and Trina a paw?
distract Dark Crud while we get in..
<Dark_Kat> excellent and I didnt have to tell you to do so this
time...
<Razor> Crud! ::grabs Jessie and dives to a side as the missiles
hit the C-tron::
<T-Bone> ::jerks his c-tron away from incoming fire::
<Dark_Kat> this time my forcefield is stronger..
<JessieSK> whoa..
<Razor> ::to Jessie:: You okay?
<Razor> ::stands up and helps her off the ground::
<T-Bone> ::gets behind a rock formation and turns to Trina::
Get Jessie and head in... Me n' Razor'll distract 'im... Razor?
<JessieSK> I'll live...::shakes her head:: thanks..
<JessieSK> you okay?
<Razor> Roger that, T-Bone. ::to Jessie:: I'll be fine. We'll provide
the distraction.
<TrinaSK> ::to T-Bone: Roger. ::motions Jessie to follow her::
<T-Bone> ::motions Razor to the seat behind him::
<JessieSK> thanks.. ::smiles:: come on Trina..we got work to do
<JessieSK> ::follows Trina , pauses to take her gun out::
<Razor> ::gets in the 'gunner's' seat:: G'luck! ::to the girls::
<TrinaSK> ::has her handgun out, goes from rock to rock::
<SypherSK> ::tracks them all::
<JessieSK> thanks..
<Dark_Kat> what are these 2 shekats doing here?
<TrinaSK> ::sees an entrance:: C'mon! ::runs for it::
<JessieSK> ::follows Trina, to the guys:: wait for the signal...
<Razor> Roger.
<SypherSK> ::re-appearing by Dark Kat,... regains solid form
slowing, his eyes slowly reverting from electric blue to a more normal
blue:: They identify as Lt. Korat, MBI and Lt. Clawson, Enforcers.
<JessieSK> ::runs of the entrance:: NOW..
<Razor> ::fires a few less lethal missiles to an area near the ship::
<Dark_Kat> I know the Clawson she-kat...the MBI has nothing to do
here..take care of them both
<T-Bone> ::nods to Razor:: Let 'im have it, bud... ::wheels
them into the open and aims straight for the ship::
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie as she runs from the missiles> not us
let DK have it!!! ))
<Razor> ::fires anew, this time a bit closer::
<SypherSK> ::starts to fire at the girls... then realizes Razor's
missiles have left fires near fuel tanks::
<SypherSK> Sir... ::accelerates the ship a bit::
<TrinaSK> ::dodges fire::
<JessieSK> come on..the forcefield is down for a while..lets go
..
<TrinaSK> ::gets into the ship as Jessie says this::
<JessieSK> ::is inside:: great now what?
<SypherSK> ::when the girls are in, ship shoots out of cave...
as fires near fuel::
<Dark_Kat> What is it Sypher?
<T-Bone> What the...? ::as the ship roars over him and Razor::
<TrinaSK> We stop 'em...
<JessieSK> I knew that....
<Razor> :sees the fire:: T-Bone, get us outta here!
<JessieSK> ::checks her gun:: ready??
<T-Bone> Crud! ::spins C-tron and zoooooms!::
<TrinaSK> ::checks hers:: Ready...
<SypherSK> ::explosion follows::
<JessieSK> ::positions herself on one side of the door to the main
control room of the plane:: on the count of three we go in..
<Dark_Kat> Go GO GO GO GO!!!!!
<Dark_Kat> I can't let my plans be ruined by them,
<SypherSK> ::to DK as flames shoot from the cave:: That, Sir...
::they're out now::
<TrinaSK> ::pauses to look out:: And..company's here...::fires a
few times as the creeplings as a distraction....but not really hitting
them::
<JessieSK> ::hits a few with her paws..::say hi guys.. ::as she
smashes 2 of em together.::
<SypherSK> ::and the intruder alert is down, so he doesn't know
the two are on-board::
<Razor> ::fur is standing on end::
<T-Bone> ::has parked behind a rock... shielded from all but a lot
of the heat::
<Dark_Kat> shileds up and operational?? al systems go NOW
<SypherSK> Yes, Sir!
<Razor> That..was too close..
<T-Bone> And,... painful... ::has some burns:: Hope the girls are
having better luck... ::aims for the T-Kat::
<Razor> Affirmative. Let's go.
<TrinaSK> ::looks out:: Anymore comin'?
<JessieSK> negative..
<JessieSK> ::looks around::
<TrinaSK> Roger. ::turns to the door and...fires three times to
get it open::
<Dark_Kat> set course for MKC
<TrinaSK> ::kicks the door in:: Freeze!
<TrinaSK> ::handgun aimed::
<JessieSK> ::aims her gun at DK::
<Dark_Kat> ::surprised look replaced by a grin:: ah Lt CLawson....how
good to see you again..and you brought another friend with you this time..
<Dark_Kat> ::looks at Sypher:: I'l deal with you later
<Razor> ::checks his instruments:: Surprise, surprise...he's headed
to MKC...
<SypherSK> ::had actually disappeared::
<TrinaSK> ::blinks::
<JessieSK> Hold on Dark Crud...if I shoot I won't miss at this range..
<TrinaSK> ::thinks DK's crazier than usual:: Who are you talkin'
to? ::raised brow::
<TrinaSK> ::tail twitches in concern anyway::
<Dark_Kat> Now now... you always were after my tain..
<JessieSK> always will be Dark Crud..::starts walking towards him
carefully..::
<SypherSK> ((<Trina> I never took your train! You're
crazy!))
<TrinaSK> ((::dies!!!::))
<JessieSK> ((er that was tail even..))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<TrinaSK> Lt. Clawson...::muttered::
<Dark_Kat> I am surprised however that you're friendly with an MBI
Agent..
<JessieSK> what's it to you creep?? ::to Trina:: trust me..
<Dark_Kat> didn't I tell you I hate being called creep??
<JessieSK> can't remember? did you?? ::moving up a bit closer::
<TrinaSK> ::eyes are darting to and fro, has the feeling there's
something behind her....or near anyway..::
<Dark_Kat> Not this time Lt...::takes out a rifle holding it pointed
at them::
<SypherSK> ::coalecses enough to be quasi-solid and zaps Trina one...
before disappearing::
<TrinaSK> ACK!! ::as is hit from behind, falls to the ground unconcious::
<JessieSK> ::Turns her head around: TRINA NO..
<Dark_Kat> ::Takes his chance and attacks her::
<JessieSK> hey let go CRUD.
<Dark_Kat> ::laughs:: I'm not that simple..you won't spoil my plans
this time... ::hits her with the butt of his rifle::
<JessieSK> ::is knocked unconcious::
<Dark_Kat> excellent job Sypher..
<Dark_Kat> ::laughs::
<Dark_Kat> she's losing her edge...
<SypherSK> ::reappears, solidifying::
<Dark_Kat> good job....this is part of the reasin why I keep you
around..now onto our plan..
<SypherSK> First target, Sir?
<T-Bone> ::has the T-Kat up and on their tail::
<Dark_Kat> Destroy the Turbokat...
<Dark_Kat> then the city..
<SypherSK> Yes, Sir... ::targets T-Kat::
<Dark_Kat> with the SWAT Kats gone...Megakat City shall be mine..
<Razor> Uh oh...we're being targeted, bug...
<T-Bone> ::hears the lock tone and starts jigging wildly::
<TrinaSK> ((Bud, even!!))
<SypherSK> ((Bug? <T-Bone> I'm insulted!))
<TrinaSK> ((::dies!::))
<T-Bone> Ya' think? ::as the first scarlet blast rips past the jet::
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<Razor> I don't think..I say so..
<T-Bone> ::razz sound::
<RazorSK> ::razz back!::
<Dark_Kat> ::Watches::
<Dark_Kat> ::laughs::
<RazorSK> Let's try to get the forcefield down..
<T-Bone> ::grins suddenly and swings the T-Kat around, dodging blasts
until he's right beneath DK's ship... there are no bottom laser batteries...
not that can fire that close to the ship anyways... they'd burn the hull
off::
<T-Bone> ::stabilizers are dangerously close to DK's ship::
<RazorSK> ::looks up:: Great plan, buddy.
<T-Bone> I thought so, if I don't say so myself... ::beam::
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> :decides to attack the ship from underneath,
stand up and hits his head:: Yer too close!!))
<T-Bone> Now... Can you get in?
<Dark_Kat> Sypher? hurry up!!! I am tired of waiting!!
<Dark_Kat> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> We gotta do something about yer ego...::as he opens the
canopy::
<SypherSK> They are beneath the ship, Sir. We have no weaponry on
the underside.
<Dark_Kat> evasive manuvers now..
<SypherSK> ::thinks:: They will try to come in the cargo bay, Sir...
It might be wise to guard it...
<Dark_Kat> try to lose them....and for once aim properly.......
<RazorSK> ::uses his G-trix to fire a grappling hook up there::
<Dark_Kat> ::sends his Creeplings to the cargo bay just in case..::
<SypherSK> ::sets the ship on evasie manuveurs, but not before Razor's
inside::
<Dark_Kat> ::growls:: they can't stop me this time...
<T-Bone> ::winces as the screech of metal informs that DK's ship
scraped the jet... has about a half second to brace before the impact hurls
the T-Kat away::
<T-Bone> ::is sent tumbling, one stabilizer badly damaged::
<Dark_Kat> and they won't.. ::smiles then looks at the two shekats::
I got hostages this time..
<RazorSK> ::is on, then looks down. Yells into his radio:: T-BONE!
<T-Bone> Crud!
<RazorSK> You okay, bud?!
<T-Bone> ::fights for control... gets the VTOL engines
on and uses them to right the jet... but he's long outta firing range by
then and outta sight too::
<T-Bone> ::to Razor:: Roger that, bud... Hang onna sec...
I'm gonna try something...
<RazorSK> ::breathes a sigh of relief:: I copy...
<RazorSK> ::climbs onto the bay::
<T-Bone> ::hovering only ten feet above the bay... doesn't
mention *that* part to Razor as he checks the T-Kat's systems:: Dark Crud's
tracking me too easy... What happened to stealth mode?
<T-Bone> ::finds that it was shorted out... back in the desert apparently::
CRUD!!! ::smacks a fist into the panel... and the lights come back
on::
<Dark_Kat> they think they can get me? not a chance...::laughs::
Sypher..prepare the holographic projector...I have a little message for
those two
<SypherSK> As you wish, Sir. ::does so::
<T-Bone> Yes! ::brings the systems to full and muttering,
"Cmon, Baby" heads the T-Kat after DK's ship::
<RazorSK> ::makes his way around the bay, looking for any creeplings
or other guards::
<Dark_Kat> Sypher!! ::taps his foot on the floor:: hurry up!! I
wanna get this over with before nightfall
<SypherSK> ::is mildly confused now as to what he's to hurry...
is not crazy like DK::
<SypherSK> The TurboKat vanished from sensors twenty feet from the
ground, Sir...
<Dark_Kat> Nevermind that.....activate the projector...
<Dark_Kat> ::big smile::
<SypherSK> I already did, Sir.
<RazorSK> ::is in the ship now, looking behind him to make sure
he isn't hit or anything::
<Dark_Kat> Oh yeah...so you did...::the hologram appears everywhere
in the ship and out of the ship:: attention SK's I wouldn't be too fast
to attack if I were you..::laughs::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> I TOLD you to put guards in the hangar...
but does anyone ever listen to me? Noooooo!))
<Dark_Kat> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> ((ROFL!!! Powa Sy!))
<Dark_Kat> ((good one..))
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> If I had emotions, I'd pout!))
<Dark_Kat> ((<DK> that's why I made you without them))
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Yeah... By the by though... Did I mention
that you forgot to take out the freewill aspect?))
<RazorSK> ((::dies!::))
<Dark_Kat> ((<DK> D'OH!!))
<Dark_Kat> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> ::heads towards the main room, G-Trix ready, and wonders
where in the world the girls are at::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Waitasec... If I've got free will, then
I've gotta soul, so then I do have emotions! ::beams:))
<Dark_Kat> ::laughs::
<Dark_Kat> ((<DK> once again D'OH!!!!!!))
<RazorSK> ::breathes:: Jessie? Trina? ::very softly, doesn't
wanna attract attention::
<Dark_Kat> ::hologram continues on rambling:: now then you won't
attack me while I have someone here with me..now would you?? ::laughs::
<RazorSK> ::perks his ears, doesn't see the hologram, but does hear
it:: Wha...?
<SypherSK> ((<Razor> I don't care if you have Viper with you...
Blow his head off for all I care... Save me trouble...))
<Dark_Kat> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> ((::dies!::))
<Dark_Kat> what no answer? Sypher...project a hologram of one of
our friends everywhere in the ship and around it..maye then they'll asnwer..
<SypherSK> ((<DK> See... I strategically position the projector
so they have to stand in the open to see them and be caught... <Sy>
You think they want to see your face that badly?))
<RazorSK> ((::DEAD!!!::))
<SypherSK> Yes, Sir. ::does it::
<Dark_Kat> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> ::runs towards the main room::
<Dark_Kat> as you can see I am not lying now...I got two of them
here...and might I add their health is in a very bad condition
<Dark_Kat> and will be worse if you won't let me do what I want..
<RazorSK> ::stops dead in his tracks as he hears this::
<Dark_Kat> Sypher? any trace of the Turbokat?
<SypherSK> ((::ominous music plays::))
<RazorSK> No...::runs anew, straight into the control room:: Stop
right there, Dark Crud. ::G-Trix aimed::
<SypherSK> None yet, Sir...
<SypherSK> ::and issa gone again::
<Dark_Kat> not while I have them. ::motions at Trina and Jessie::
<Trina> ::manages to wake up fer a few seconds::
<Razor> ::growls:: What did you do to them?
<Dark_Kat> oh just knocked them out...
<Dark_Kat> nothing else..for now..
<Dark_Kat> I suggest you give yourself up and tell your partner
to do th same.
<Trina> ::inna whisper:: Razor, be careful...be...hind...:is KOed
again::
<RazorSK> ::growls:: It's not gonna happen.
<Dark_Kat> really? ::grabs Jessie..or better yet her body:: think
again....
<RazorSK> ::freezes and aims his G-Trix again:: Let her go!
<Dark_Kat> once you give yourself up...
<RazorSK> ::growls, is trembling::
<Dark_Kat> am I getting to you....? ::drops Jessie then laughs::
I should do this more often...give yourself up and tell your partner to
do the same..
<RazorSK> ::growls anew:: You're gonna be dead meat if you lay another
finger on her...
<Dark_Kat> threats won't help....::picks her up again:: see? ::laughs::
<RazorSK> Dark Kat! ::G-trix is ready to fire:: Put her down!
<Dark_Kat> sure whatever you say.. ::throws her down::
<Dark_Kat> give up...I'm tired of those games...
<RazorSK> ::growls indefinitely, tackles tall, dark and purple::
<Dark_Kat> ::is on the floor.:: that won't help.. ::stands up then
slaps Razor as hard as possible::
<Dark_Kat> ((poor Razor...))
<RazorSK> ((My words exactly...))
<Dark_Kat> ((but a bad guys' gotta do what a bad guys' gotts
do..))
<SypherSK> ::and appears to grab Razor from behind as he falls back::
<Dark_Kat> nice job..
<RazorSK> ::is confuzzled...seeing stars in the process, and is
too dizzy to fight back::
<Dark_Kat> now where is the other one...
<Dark_Kat> tie this one up...and make sure he doesn't escape..
<SypherSK> Uncertain, Sir. It seems the jet crashed... but
the profile you gave me on the SWAT Kats indicates it would not be safe
to assume he's deceased.
<SypherSK> ::nods and ties Razor up::
<Dark_Kat> that's right..I want him found..
<Dark_Kat> Creeplings!!!!!!!
<Creepings> ::run in to salute::
<Dark_Kat> go find the other SWAT Kat and bring him here...
<Creeplings> ::nod, chatter, go and yadda::
<Dark_Kat> NOW!! and Hurry up for once!!!!
<RazorSK> ::is trying to get the ropes off once he manages to realize
where he is::
<T-Bone> ::is out in the T-Kat::
<SypherSK> ::eyes Razor:: Sir... Rather than looking for the
other SWAT Kat... Why not bring him to us?
<Dark_Kat> how?
<RazorSK> ::pauses to blink as he sees Sy for the first time::
<SypherSK> I've been examining the abilities you gave me... Though
it would prove a strain over an extended period, in my incoherent form,
I should be able to merge with and control this SWAT Kat...
<JessieSK> ::groans and tries ta open her eyes::
<Dark_Kat> do it!
<Dark_Kat> lets see what happens..
<RazorSK> :eyes are wide as he figures it out::
<SypherSK> ((::snickers:: Incoherent form sounds like when
he's babbling like an idiot!))
<RazorSK> (::laffs::))
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<RazorSK> Oh, no. Yer not using me as a guinea pig...
<SypherSK> ::loses solidity, becoming a kat-like mass of blue energy
that leaps into Razor::
<JessieSK> Crud...::hears Razor's voice:: Razor NO
<RazorSK> N-ACK! ::closes his eyes tight, teeth are clenched::
<SypherSK> ::has to fight his way thru a veritable brick wall of
resistance::
<JessieSK> ::Leaps to her feet ingoring the pain:: let 'im go DArk
Crud
<SypherSK> ::in Razor's mind that is::
<RazorSK> ::ropes end up breaking, kneels over to hold his head::
<Dark_Kat> yeah right..not this time my dear..
<JessieSK> ::anger in voice and eyes:: let him go...
<SypherSK> ::and, getting thru that, finds....::
<Dark_Kat> or what?
<RazorSK> ::breathes heavily, trying to fight back..whatever it
is inside him, all his memories coming up::
<JessieSK> or this.. ::leps onto DK pinning him down, starts strangling
him::
<Dark_Kat> ::shakes her off:: not this time..::looks over at Razor::
excellent..
<SypherSK> ::is nowhere near ready for the blast of memories and
emotions that hits him::
<Trina> ::finally wakes up:: Wha'?
<JessieSK> ::glances in Razor's direction then back at DK:: I'm
telling you for the last time..let him go...
<Dark_Kat> ::just laughs::
<RazorSK> ::is afraid, confused, concerned. Thinks about his family,
his partner, those he cares about:
<Trina> ::stands up:: Lt. Clawson, what is going...?
<JessieSK> ::reaches for her gun. takes it out and aims at Dark
Kat then shoots at him::
<JessieSK> later
<SypherSK> ::finds that he can't fight them... the harder
he pushes the louder they get... switches tactics and settles to
try to absorb them::
<JessieSK> ::to Sage::
<Trina> ::blinks, catches on, takes out her own handgun::
<Dark_Kat> ::gets out of the way but not before the bullet catches
him on his shoulder::
<Dark_Kat> No..
<JessieSK> Trina, take care of Dark Kat...
<Trina> ::fights off any nearby creeplings::
<SypherSK> ::and screams in pain and.... the first real fear he's
ever felt::
<JessieSK> :runs over to Razor:: Razor? can you hear me? Razor,
speak to me..aw crud..
<Trina> Roger that. ::takes the handcuffs outta her belt::
<RazorSK> ::looks at Jessie, eyes show much fear::
<Dark_Kat> not this time...
<Trina> Dark Kat, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain
silent...
<JessieSK> Crud...Razor..no..::looks into his eyes:: fight it whatever
it is fight it..
<SypherSK> ::tries to get out.... and finds he's gone too deep to
do so::
<Dark_Kat> yeah right..
<RazorSK> I'm....I'm trying to.....::blinks anew::
<JessieSK> Come on Razor...don't give up...fight it..you can do
it..
<Dark_Kat> ::tries to escape::
<Trina> You have the right to...::tries to get the handcuffs on
him..then sees that he escapes::
<JessieSK> ::urgency in her voice:: come on Razor..fight it...
<Trina> :growls:: Dark Kat! Get back here! ::runs after, handgun
ready::
<Dark_Kat> not this time....
<SypherSK> ::afraid *he's* going to die... and despite what he is,
unwilling to do so, lashes back in desperation::
<RazorSK> ::looks at her:: Jessie....::holds her hands:: Believe
it or not...I'm freaking out...
<JessieSK> Razor...::breathes a sigh of relief:: you did it...
<JessieSK> I think I can believe it.. ::hugs him::
<RazorSK> ::blinks and hugs back:: Jessie, I....::pauses to yell,
holds his head anew, and feels as the "other host" enters his mind again::
<SypherSK> <I don't want to die or lose myself here anymore than
you do!> ::screaming at Razor mentally::
<JessieSK> Razor....Crud..whoever you are let him go..
<SypherSK> ::can't or he would... boy, but would he::
<RazorSK> <What do you think yer doing?? Get outta my mind!>
<SypherSK> <I can't! I can't! ::terrified::
There's nowhere else to go!>
<JessieSK> ::is wondering what to do..:: Razor..fight it...::looks
into Razor's eyes::
<RazorSK> <Well, yer not makin' it any easier! Had I a map, I
woulda gladly given it to you! ::pauses::>
<RazorSK> ::eyes are open, looks at her, then closes them again::
<RazorSK> <Look...are you trying to take over my own thoughts?>
<JessieSK> ::fights back tears then whispers:: Razor...come on bro...
<SypherSK> <I was ordered to! It was my job! Now...
if I don't... *I'm* lost...>
<SypherSK> ::feels terror... fear he could have known before, he
did have self-preservation programming, but he was never programmed to
know terror... he learned it from Razor:
<JessieSK> whoever you are let him go...take me instead...
<RazorSK> ::seems to be calming down a bit:: <OKay...look. If
I let you take over me for a few until you find yer way out, you promise
not to make me do anything I"ll later regret?> ::feels he can trust him
all of a sudden...strangely::
<SypherSK> <Regret? What is....> ::can hardly ask
before all the memories of Razor's regrets wash over him::
<RazorSK> <You get the picture?>
<JessieSK> ::is looking at Razor::
<RazorSK> ::is calming down a bit more::
<SypherSK> <Yes.... I don't want that....> ::mental shiver::
<Alright... Just help me... Please... Before I'm another
of your memories...>
<SypherSK> ::hadn't enough will of his own to control someone who
did::
<RazorSK> <All right. I won't put up a fight. Just get Lt. Clawson
and Lt. Korat outta here...and stop Dark Krud...deal?>
<RazorSK> ::looks at Jessie:: I'm gonna be okay. Trust me on this
one...::hinted tone on "trust"::
<JessieSK> ::nods:: if you say so...::sort of gets what he means::
be careful...
<SypherSK> <Stop Dark Kat? I can't.... I can't...
He'd terminate...> ::can't even manage the thought that DK *would* terminate
him before his primary programming kicks in again:: <I can't...>
<RazorSK> ::smiles:: I will. ::squeezes her hand, then turns back
to his "converation":: <Yes, you can. And, I won't let it happen.
Trust me.>
<JessieSK> ::smiles back::
<SypherSK> <*You* stop him. I'll do whatever else I can.>
<RazorSK> <Alright. That settles it. We on an agreement here?>
<SypherSK> <Yes.>
<RazorSK> <Okay. Then do whatever you have to do. I won't put
up a fight.> ::relaxes his thoughts::
<SypherSK> ::tentatively takes control, feeling Razor never far
away::
<RazorSK> ::breathes out a sigh, opens his eyes, now a different
color::
<SypherSK> ::which would be blue! beam::
<RazorSK> ::yay! he's got blue eyes now! Whoo hoo! NOW he's sure
to get all the girls! ::pause:: NO wait! Bad! ::
<RazorSK> ::looks at Jessie, Sy is in control of him::
<SypherSK> ((<Girls> ::hang on Raz/Sy, ask for dates::
<Raz> I like the redhead... Let's date her... <Sy> No!
I like brunettes!))
<RazorSK> ((::dies!::))
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<JessieSK> ::soflty:: Razor?
<SypherSK> Sorta.... ::takes her hand and squeezes it much
like Razor did:: C'mon... You and your friend have to be out
of here before Dark Kat comes back...
<JessieSK> I won't leave you here...
<JessieSK> Trina went after Dark Kat.
<SypherSK> I'm coming... ::sighs at that last::
<RazorSK> <Just take it easy.>
<SypherSK> Then, we have to find her.... ::does *not* want
to face Dark Kat... isn't sure he can fight his programming even with Razor's
help... and yet.... he knows he's not what he was before... and he doesn't
want to be it again either::
<JessieSK> ::takes her radio out, in somewhat shaky voice:: Trina
come in...any trace of Dark Crud?
<Trina> He's gone. I lost him at a few turns...
<JessieSK> return here then..
<Trina> Roger that. Meet you there. ::runs back to control room::
<SypherSK> ::waits anxiously::
<JessieSK> Roger
<SypherSK> ::actually received the radio call even in Razor's body....
hey, his body, such as it is, is in there too::
<JessieSK> ::sits on the floor and shakes her head::
<SypherSK> ::looks at Jessie:: You okay?
<RazorSK> <Great...he's gone. ::pauses as he sees Jessie:: and...you
better make sure she's okay...::concerned tone::>
<SypherSK> ::kneels by her... can't really do much else... Razor's
concern is overriding his own confusion easily::
<JessieSK> I'll be fine...it's you I'm concerned about.
<SypherSK> I... We're okay...
<SypherSK> ((<Jessie> How many of you are in there?!
<Sy> ::beam:: Eight!))
<RazorSK> <Hrm...better step in here for a few...you mind if
I do?>
<JessieSK> we?
<RazorSK> ((::dies!::))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<SypherSK> <No, please...> ::withdraws, knows the way to where
Razor was and back to control now at any rate::
<SypherSK> ((<Jessie> ::starts to wonder how you get eight
cyber demons exorcised... Ah-ha! threatens them with a virus:: Begone,
vile spirits!))
<JessieSK> ::sighs:: Razor what do you mean we? ::realises:: oh
no...you didn't...
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> ::eyes are brown for the moment:: Jessie, I'm gonna be
okay...
<RazorSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<SypherSK> ((Or as Beth would do it? <Beth> An exercism?
Easy! And, one and two and....!))
<JessieSK> ::looks at him:: you did didn't you? ::shuts her eyes::
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<SypherSK> ((<Beth> Move that flab, you demons!))
<RazorSK> ((::dies!::))
<JessieSK> ((ROFL))
<SypherSK> ((<Razor> No! I never did the macarena! I
swear!))
<RazorSK> I'm afraid so. But, I think we may have a chance of nailing
Dark Kat yet. All you hafta' do id trust me. I'm still up here..::points
to his head::
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<RazorSK> ((::dies!::))
<JessieSK> I trust you...don't worry bro I still trust you...
<RazorSK> ::smiles and hugs her::
<SypherSK> ::blinks at the backwash of feelings he's getting::
<JessieSK> just be careful..
<RazorSK> I will. ::winks, and disappears back into his mind:: <Okay.
It's all yours>
<SypherSK> <Thanks.> ::takes control again::
<SypherSK> ::as Razor's eyes go blue::
<Trina> ::runs in: I located him...he's at the bay.
<JessieSK> ::shakes her head:: this is nuts...::whispers:: be careful
bro...
<JessieSK> ::looks up:: roger..::slowly gets to her feet::
<JessieSK> lets go get him..
<Trina> ::nods::
<RazorSK> ::eyes are blue once more::
<SypherSK> <Jake.... Jake... He'll control me... He owns
me.. He made me...>
<JessieSK> ::walks out taking a last look at Razor, whispers once
again:: be careful bro..
<RazorSK> <It's not gonna happen if you trust me. He's not gonna
get near you...>
<SypherSK> <Okay... I trust you...>
<RazorSK> <Let's go>
<SypherSK> <Right...>
<SypherSK> ::heads out with the girls::
So, now Razor's possessed and he has nifty glowing blue eyes!
Oooooo... Freaky cool, huh? Read on to find out what happens. --
