CyberDemons, Part 5

Can I Order an Exorcism to Go?

<JessieSK> ((Jessie comes in yelling and kicking stuff.. ::Jake:: uh sis??? you okay???))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<Chance> ::it's after the fight, he nearly crashed, Sy's on his couch, is zonked out in his own bed::
<JakeSK> ::is down working on the Turbokat, upgrading the systems and all, and still contemplation the work Sypher did on their jet::
<JakeSK> ((ROFLDEADEAD!!))
<SypherSK> ((<Jake> My eight tracks! You killed them! Jessie!))
<JessieSK> ((<<Jessie>> was that yours?? sorry...))
<SypherSK> ((<Jake> No wait... These are Chance's... My eight tracks are '70's but not disco. ::beams::))
<JessieSK> ::walks in the SY using the key she got..doesn't want to distract Chance and Sypher. Knows where to find Jake, goes down the the hangar. calls out.:: Jake?
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie>> uh oh I'm gone..tell him I didn't do it.!!))
<Jake> ::looks up as Jessie enters:: Over here!
<JakeSK> ::is buried in his assorted techno junk::
<JessieSK> Jake, we got problems..
<JakeSK> Like what?
<JessieSK> Dark Kat escaped...
<JakeSK> CRUD...
<JessieSK> and he's got an army of Sypher like guys..
<JakeSK> An army?
<JessieSK> ::nods::
<JakeSK> ((<Jessie> Ten thousand strong... <Jake> ::falls over::))
<JakeSK> How many's an army?
<JessieSK> Any idea how to destroy them?
<SypherSK> ::wakes up, blinking, confused:
<JakeSK> How many's an army?
<JessieSK> ::shrug:: lets just say he's got a lot of them Jake...
<SypherSK> ((<Jessie> You're the egghead - look it up! I just meant there was a lot of them!))
<JakeSK> ((::dies!::))
<JessieSK> I didn't count cause I was too busy being zapped by them,
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<SypherSK> ::gets up, automatically brushing sleep from his eyes... pauses to study it.. has never been asleep before::
<JakeSK> ::stands up:: You have any idea where Dark Kat is now?
<JessieSK> negative...he disappeared before we could get him again...
<SypherSK> ::stands, stretching, dredging the information that he needs to do this from the info he saved out of Jake's head::
<JakeSK> ::sighs:: I don't think it would hurt if we tried a bit of patrol....
<KatneySK> ::comes down hangar ladder:: Hey, guys, got a problem with Dark Kat and-- ::sees Jessie:: Oh, guess you found that out already.
<JessieSK> Jake I need your help...
<JessieSK> ::grins to Katney:: sorta ....
<SypherSK> ::looks around, blinking, confused... feels half blind without his computer link feeding him sensor information::
<JakeSK> ::puts a hand on her shoulder:: Will do....as soon as his sleepyness wakes up...::means Chance::
<JessieSK> Jake do you know how to destroy those things?
<KatneySK> Need a little backup?
<Chance> ::snore, is flopped across bed inna wild tangle of sheets and matted fur::
<JessieSK> sure..
<JessieSK> ((DEAD..))
<KatneySK> ::pats blaster in holster:: I have much better aim than my brother, I assure you.
<JessieSK> heh...
<KatneySK> ::it's a shoulder holster, mind ya, or whatever they call it::
<JakeSK> ::chuckles:: I wouldn't doubt it for a moment...
<SypherSK> ::ears flicker around, finds his normal kat senses far too limiting::
<JessieSK> ::nods::
<KatneySK> I'll go get 'em. ::goes::
<JakeSK> ::to Jessie:: Sincerely, I really don't know.....::pauses to think:: Maybe Sypher can help....
<SypherSK> ::follows faint sounds to hangar entrance and peeks down there::
<KatneySK> ::goes into Chance's room, covers Chance's mouth and plugs his nose::
<JessieSK> ::nods:: I'll ask him...thanks..
<JakeSK> I'll go with....
<Chance> ::sucks in under her hand... then... snorthuffpuffsmack!::
<JessieSK> ::smiles:: ok..
<JessieSK> ((I never wake Jake up like that....))
<KatneySK> ::pulls paws back, wipes on her pants::
<JakeSK> ((<Jake> You better not!))
<Chance> ::sits up, rolling away from Kat:: AUGH! ::gets inna fighting pose for a minute:: KAT?!
<KatneySK> ::ditto:: Hiya, bro.
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie> you know I don't wake you up like that Jake....))
<Chance> ::was just wearing his boxers, but who could tell as he's now rolled up in the sheets?::
<JakeSK> ((<Jake> ::sniffles:: Not like that, but a water balloon to the head ain't fun, either...))
<Chance> ::eyes narrow:: I hate you.
<KatneySK> ^_^ ::giggles:: I'm the little sister, remember.
<KatneySK> I'm suppose to be annoying.
<Chance> Oh. I'm supposed to. Good then.
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie> not my fault you sleep so hard..))
<JakeSK> ((<Jake> I don't!))
<SypherSK> ::clears his throat to get someone's attention as he climbs down the ladder::
<KatneySK> Come on. Need your help.
<Chance> With what? ::trying to escape the sheets::
<JakeSK> ::ears perk, then sees Sy:: Enjoy yer nap?
<SypherSK> I.. think... Yes.
<SypherSK> ::issa very, very rumpled kitty::
<JakeSK> ::smiles:: All new to ya', huh?
<KatneySK> Need help with those sheets? ::extends claws::
<KatneySK> Or shall I say "Dark Kat escaped?"
<SypherSK> Very. I usually return to incoherent form and rest in power save mode in the computer systems...
<Chance> ::blinks, has extricated himself and pulled on pants in an instant::
<JakeSK> ((<Chance> ::hears "Dark Kat escaped," tears outta those sheets like an enraged Godzilla::))
<SypherSK> ((Think "Metallikats"...))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD::))
<KatneySK> Let's get to the hanger and I'll fill you in.
<Chance> Right, right... ::tugging on shirt and heading out first::
<KatneySK> ::leads::
<SypherSK> ::smooths a wrinkle out of his jumpsuit::
Chance> ::is still brushing all his puffed fur back down, huffs::
<KatneySK> ::goes down to hangar::
<JakeSK> ::to Sy:: I...need ta' ask you something...
<SypherSK> What? ::as he goes half-acoherent, rippling blue... then normal and un-rumpled::
<JessieSK> ::is surprised::
<SypherSK> ::hair and fur are now all in place::
<JakeSK> ::rubs his eyes, tries to find the right words:: Um...Dark Kat...seems to have an army of your kind going around...and....::pauses to think this over::
<SypherSK> ::eyes widen:: He copied the file....
<JakeSK> ::raised brow:: He had a file?
<JessieSK> file?
<SypherSK> Not really a file... It's a program... One no normal computer could hold.
<SypherSK> A complex artificial intelligence program with DNA sequencing spliced into the code...
<JessieSK> Crud...
<JakeSK> OKay....is there anyway to stop this program?
<KatneySK> ::walks over:: Last I checked his file was missing... AGAIN.
<JakeSK> ::as he thinks over what Sypher just explained::
<SypherSK> It... I don't know. It's what I come from.
<JessieSK> ::rubs her chin:: everything has a weakness...
<JakeSK> ::puts on his "I'm thinking" look...the one that scares Chance::
<KatneySK> ::blink:: Could you dumb that down a little? ::has a ? over her head::
<JakeSK> ((<Chance> He's got the look again!! Run!! Run for your lives!! Head for the hills!))
<KatneySK> ::she's Chance's sister all right...::
<SypherSK> I'm a computer program. A computer program given solid form.
<KatneySK> Just gotta find it.
<SypherSK> So are the others.
<JessieSK> true..
<JakeSK> Well...what's your weakness? ::to Sy::
<SypherSK> I can use myself... my energy up if I overuse it.
<JessieSK> Bingo....
<SypherSK> But, I have so many warnings for low energy levels built in I'd have to deliberately suicide to do it.
<JakeSK> Then...we're gonna hafta' find a way to get those guys to use up their energy without recharging...
<SypherSK> ::thinks:: Do you know if they're capable of free thought or not?
<SypherSK> I wouldn't think Dark Kat would risk what happened with me again so quickly...
<KatneySK> How we gonna do that? An electric magnet?
<JessieSK> hmmm.....maybe not an electric magnet...
<KatneySK> ::issa leaning against the wall, polishing her gun::
<JessieSK> ::rubs her chin in thought::
<JakeSK> ::does the same::
<SypherSK> ::looking at Kat:: If you catch them in a computer, that would work. They'll be scrambled with the computer's hard drive.
<JakeSK> Any computer?
<JessieSK> Jake...when Sypher took you over...what happened?
<SypherSK> ::nods:: And, if you kill them instantly when they're in organic form, they'll die... But, if the wound isn't instantly fatal, they'll go acoherent.
Editors Note: From this point on "acoherent" replaces "incoherent" as the term Sypher uses to describe his energy/non-solid state.
<JessieSK> Crud..not too good....
<KatneySK> Rather infect 'em with a virus, but whatever ya say.
<JakeSK> We kept having a conversation in my thoughts...::to Jessie::
<JessieSK> hmmmm...Sypher does conversation waste your battery?
<JakeSK> :nods:: Not good at all...::hrms again::
<SypherSK> ::to Kat:: I can repell any known virus... ::shiver:: Unless Dark Kat has one I don't know about...
<JessieSK> Don't worry Sypher..he can't control you now can he?
<SypherSK> ::looking at Jessie:: Not now... I don't think... I severed my connections to his computer systems and rewrote my programming codes...
<KatneySK> Rats. ::huffs on the gun, rubs::
<JessieSK> ::nods:: is there a way for him to control you still?
<KatneySK> ((The TK is T-Bone's baby, Katney's gun is her baby. ^_~))
<SypherSK> And, as to my "battery"... I'm as kat as you right now. Food will recharge me as good as anything. It's when I'm acoherent and made of energy that I use it up.
<JakeSK> Sypher should be fine...it's those other we hafta' worry about...
<JessieSK> ((LOL......))
<JessieSK> ::nods:: maybe..
<SypherSK> ((Gee... Weird family... Weirder kids.))
<JakeSK> ((ROFL!!))
<JessieSK> when we were interrogating DK he told something about controlling you again..can that happen?
<JakeSK> ::listen to what Jessie says:
<SypherSK> I... don't know... He might be able to control my body against my will....
<KatneySK> So when do we go out and kick their tails? ::takes aim with her gun at the punching bag:: I'm getting impatient.
<JakeSK> We've gotta keep you as far away from him as possible...
<JessieSK> ::to Kat::Whoa power down..first we gotta figure out how to do it..
<JessieSK> true....
<JakeSK> ::to Kat:: And...we just replaced the punching bag...let's save this one for training...::grin in his voice::
<KatneySK> Hmph.
<SypherSK> ::sighs:: I want to help...
<JessieSK> ::to Jake:: what happened to the one you replaced yesterday??
<SypherSK> ((<Jake> Chance ripped it apart bare-clawed...))
<JessieSK> Sypher maybe you can help.....
<JakeSK> ::blush:: I kicked it with Chance still clinging to it...
<KatneySK> ::grin:: Rats. Then I'll go target practice on some tin cans outside.
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie> oookay..))
<JakeSK> ((::dies!::))
<SypherSK> ((<Jessie> Why? <Jake> They replaced Scaredy Kat with a news bulletin.))
<JessieSK> ah...
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<JakeSK> ((ROFLDEAD!!!))
<SypherSK> ::looks at her:: How?
<JakeSK> Yup...he's still out to kick my tail..
<KatneySK> ((::giggles::))
<Chance> ::from across the room, entered when no one was looking:: I can wait, Clawson....
<KatneySK> Call me when ya need me. ::goes outside::
<JessieSK> ::to Sypher:: you can give me the feel of what to expect in case one of them tries to take over..
<JakeSK> ::smirk:: Still...you shoulda moved away when I came charging...
<JessieSK> ::after Kat:: roger
<KatneySK> ::she sets up a bunch of tin cans on a front car fender that was taken off, gets a good distance from 'em, takes aim, bang::
<Chance> You shoulda warned me!
<JakeSK> I was runnin' toward it!!
<KatneySK> ::bang::
<SypherSK> Take over? Take over... you? Like Dark Kat ordered me to do to Razor?
<JakeSK> ::arms are spread out::
<Chance> I was resting!
<JessieSK> ::nods:: only this time DK isn't here to control you..
<KatneySK> ((<Chance> My sister tried to sufficate me! You're all out trying to KILL me!))
<SypherSK> No, he's not... Are you... sure you want me in there?
<SypherSK> ((::DIES!::))
<KatneySK> ((<Jake> Nuh-uh! We're just trying to make you miss Scardy Kat!))
<JakeSK> ((ROFLDEAD!))
<SypherSK> ((ROFL!))
<JakeSK> Against the punching bag?
<KatneySK> ((<Chance> FIEND!))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<JessieSK> ::to Sypher:: better a friend than an enemy...I want to know what we're up against..
<KatneySK> ::bang bangs hits all cans::
<Chance> Yes... ::defensively::
<SypherSK> ::takes a deep breath:: Alright... If you want....
<JakeSK> ::rolls his eyes:: Whatever you say, bud...
<JessieSK> no worries..at least I'll know what to expect...go ahead..
<Chance> ::huffs and pulls on his shoulder harness, got the suit on when no one was looking::
<SypherSK> ::nods, becomes blue, acoherent... form dissolves... melds into Jessie::
<JakeSK> ::goes to change into his own suit, is aware of what's happening to Jessie, but trusts Sy nonetheless::
<JessieSK> ::gets a weird feeling, never happened to her before.::
<SypherSK> ::is really hesitant, last time hurt::
<JessieSK> ::feels someone else in there..:: <Sypher?>
<SypherSK> <Hey...>
<JessieSK> <you okay?>
<SypherSK> <More or less....>
<KatneySK> ::walks back, blowing smoke from gun:: Got 'em all. :kisses gun, pets it::
<JessieSK> ::has limited movement. tries to understand everything and remeber it:: <good...I need you to be here..Sypher..what's the worst thing that can happen in this case?>
<SypherSK> <Worst? My goal with Razor... at the start, mind you... was to force his consciousness into the back of his mind and put myself in control>
<KatneySK> ::yawn:: Lemme reload and then I'm ready.
<RazorSK> ::walks back to Jessie/Sy:: How are you two holdin' up?
<JessieSK> <ookay...so that's the worst..not good...what's the best thing?>
<KatneySK> With a cane.
<KatneySK> ::grins:
<JessieSK> ::hears what Razor asked, can't reply::
<KatneySK> ::goes over:
<SypherSK> <The best is that it would have the experience I did.>
<SypherSK> ::replies to Razor for her:: Fine... I guess.
<KatneySK> OK, Sypher, what have you done with my partner?
<JessieSK> <Ah...Sypher can ...can you destory the person you took over completely?>
<RazorSK> ::nods:: I getcha...
<RazorSK> ::to Kat:: She'll be fine. ::with a tone of confidence::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> We're fine... Man, this is weird... <Razor> What? <Sy> I've never been a girl... <Razor> Oh. ::doesn't wanna discuss that one::))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> ((::Dead::))
<KatneySK> OK, cool. You're driving.
<JessieSK> <Sypher? still with me??>
<SypherSK> <I... I... I don't know... Being... Well, I wasn't mindless... But, I had no will, no goals of my own.. When you're like that, it's hard to control someone who does have their own goals and ideas.>
<JessieSK> ::is amazed by what is happeneing::
<RazorSK> ::thought she was talking to him:: Wrong. I'm flying...don't forget your brother won't let me near the wheel...
<KatneySK> Nyeh.
<KatneySK> :p
<KatneySK> ::she's real mature, I know. ;)::
<RazorSK> ::to T-Bone:: Right? ::forced grin::
<T-Bone> Exactly. The wheel is mine.
<KatneySK> But I wanna drive.
<SypherSK> ((<Razor> ::mutters:: Control freak... <T-Bone> I heard that!))
<RazorSK> Unfortunately...
<RazorSK> ((::DIES!!!!::))
<RazorSK> Your shortcuts leave much to be desired...
<JessieSK> 
<T-Bone> If YOU drove, we'd never get anywhere.
<KatneySK> :growl::
<RazorSK> At least I'm cautious!
<JessieSK> ((BTW DYK T-Bone's a BAD backseat driver))
<JessieSK> ((<Razor> DUH with your constant 'are we there yet?" bit))
<T-Bone> Too cautious...
<RazorSK> ((I'll believe it anyday..;) ))
<RazorSK> So sue me!
<KatneySK> ((::can see the scene as Driving Ms. Daisy with Katney driving and T-Bone in a little old lady dress::))
<RazorSK> ((::flops back and dies!!::))
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<KatneySK> You're disturbing the peace. Don't make me arrest you.
<SypherSK> <Your brother... Jake... Thought of those he cared for... his memories... his feelings... I don't know that it would work on the others like me... He... gave me a part of all that... But, even if you can't give the others... whatever I got... remembering who you are will keep in one piece.>
<SypherSK> ((::finishes typing and just DIES!!!!!!::))
<RazorSK> Why am I the one to be arrested?!
<KatneySK> I meant both of you.
<JessieSK> <Ah thanks for the tip anything else I should remember? is it safe to try and fight them off or is it useless??>
<T-Bone> Never take me alive, Copper.
<RazorSK> ((<Tina> You know, everytime you twitch like that laughing, you look like a dying cockroach...<Sage> I DO NOT!!))
<KatneySK> I KNOW where you keep your Kat Commandos comics, Chance.
<SypherSK> <Fight them. Fight them as hard as you can.>
<SypherSK> ((::DIES!::))
<KatneySK> Don't make me forced to read them.
<T-Bone> Touch them and die.
<T-Bone> Besides, I moved them last week.. Jake's search efforts were getting too close.
<KatneySK> I won't touch 'em. I'll shoot them, rip 'em, then burn 'em. ::evil grin, is just threatening.::
<RazorSK> ::to Kat inna whisper:: We sneak into his safe, midnnight...
<KatneySK> ::silent nod::
<JessieSK> <okay....Roger that...is there a way to know when the person is ..er possesed>
<T-Bone> ::hisses to himself::
<RazorSK> ::evil grin towards Chance::
<SypherSK> ::light chuckle:: <Look in the mirror.>
<KatneySK> ::ahems, serious tone: So when do we make our move?
<JessieSK> <Huh?!? what differences I should see?>
<RazorSK> Once we have a battle plan set up...
<SypherSK> ::takes her to the mirror:: <Look at your/our eyes...>
<KatneySK> Go for it, genius.
<KatneySK> ::sits, polishes gun, chair recline, feet on something. True cop look::
<RazorSK> ::begins to think once more once he's gathered all the info from previous conversation::
<JessieSK> <::does so:: only the eyes...Sypher...can more then one of you posses a person? what if I can't fight them? >
<SypherSK> ((<Razor> ::whips out his maps and little metal figures of tanks and soldiers:: Alright.. You and T-Bone.. You're the right flank.. Move in from here... ::shoves two figures forward::))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> ((::dies!!!::))
<RazorSK> Okay...we're gonna hafta' lure them somehow towards a computer big enough to trap them...and keep Sypher as far from Dark Kat as possible....
<KatneySK> ((<Katney> Uh... Jake... that's not a battle map. That's the old map that came free in a box of Lucky Charms from like 12 years ago.))
<SypherSK> ::gives his own blue eyes in Jessie's body a brief glance then answers:: 
<KatneySK> ((<Katney> ::points:: See? There's the heart... there's the star... Ooo, the new balloon shape...))
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> Then how come it's worked with our tactics all this time? <T-Bone> ::faints::))
<SypherSK> ((<Jake> See! It's not that old!))
<SypherSK> ((::DIES!:: <Razor> 'Member the attack on the tuna factory? We moved in from the hearts to the blue moons... The moons were the baddies...))
<JessieSK> 
<KatneySK> ((<Katney> One: The balloon shape came around 12 years ago. Two: It's more a map of Ireland))
<RazorSK> ((ROFLDEAD!))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> ::moves over to check on his Glovatrix::
<SypherSK> <They won't try... They'd be fighting each other then.... As I said, Razor focused on who he was, what made him himself... Once he knew who he was... it was obvious which I was... Then, he attacked me...>
<KatneySK> ::hums to herself, polishes gun::
<JessieSK> <ah...so if I do the same thing then I am likely to remain in control. Any more tips that you have ta mention??>
<T-Bone> Uhm...What is Jessie up to?
<T-Bone> ::to Razor::
<SypherSK> <None I know of... I just wish I knew what these new ones were... They may not even be fully fleshed out personalities... More like robots maybe...>
<RazorSK> ::lookies at Jessie:: Sypher's giving her a dose of what it feels like should any of those...things try to take over us...in worst cases, they'll kick our minds into oblivion and take control...
<KatneySK> Sypher merged into ger or something.
<JessieSK> <allright....Sypher a...personal question..are you afraid of DK's control?>
<KatneySK> ((Ooo being taken controlled, that sounds like fun! I wanna get controlled!))
<T-Bone> Mind re-explaining to me WHAT Sy is?
<SypherSK> ((<Half the RP> OOo! Ooo! Me next! Control me next!))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> ::fake whine, yet sounds desperate:: I explained to you five times already!
<RazorSK> ((::DEAD!!!::))
<JessieSK> ((poor poor Sypher...hey you can go into business with that..))
<KatneySK> ::giggles::
<RazorSK> ::is exaggerating, actually...only explained once...::
<SypherSK> <I.... I'm more afraid of his controlling me than his killing me. Even though I've only just begun to live. I don't want to be what he made me again. I don't want to unable to do as I please... and I don't want to do what he asks of me. I know it's wrong now.>
<T-Bone> ::sighs:: And, you were very tired and making no sense the ONE time you told me...
<JessieSK> <you won't I'll make sure of that....>
<JessieSK> <I'll make sure DK doesn't get his paws on you>
<SypherSK> <Thank you. I know I won't go without a fight...>
<RazorSK> He's a computer program that has the will to merge into kat and into a kat-like form...he did that to me, almost controlled my mind, I fought back, we talked things over, he's here, end of story...
<SypherSK> <You realize that I do need to face him... Need to end his control of me once and for all...>
<JessieSK> <Sypher...don't thank me yet...thanks for keeping Razor safe...>
<RazorSK> ((<T-Bone> ::looks at Razor, raised brow:: I gotta figure out this language of yours one of these days...))
<JessieSK> 
<SypherSK> 
<RazorSK> ((<T-Bone> Probably end up takin' a crash course at night school if possible..))
<JessieSK> ((<Razor> it's simple English!! <T-Bone> technocan English...<Razor> same thing. <T-Bone> not to me..))
<T-Bone> Aaaand... We can trust this program?
<SypherSK> 
<RazorSK> ((And, DIES, Jessie!))
<JessieSK> <::wishes she could smile:: >
<RazorSK> I trust him well enough to merge into my sister...that count?
<SypherSK> ::she does anyway, he's only controlling very lightly and letting most of her wishes get thru::
<JessieSK> <we gotta keep you away from DK...and someone has to be with you all the time>
<T-Bone> ::rubs his eyes:: I guess it does... ::pauses: You don't think he's *just* a program, do you?
<RazorSK> ::looks over at his partner:: Wadda ya' mean?
<SypherSK> <Alright...>
<T-Bone> Put simply computer programs aren't alive... But, you consider him a person.
<RazorSK> Well, he's acting feline, anyway...and, my thoughts and feelings were driven into him...
<T-Bone> Heaven help us, it's Razor's clone...
<JessieSK> <Know one thing Sypher...me and Razor will bever abandon you...and besides if what I've learned now helps us ger rid of DK...>
<KatneySK> Better than a T-Bone clone.
<RazorSK> ::razzz!!!::
<T-Bone> ::razzes Kat::
<KatneySK> ::giggles::
<SypherSK> <::finishes the sentence:: The world would be a better place... And... You have to destroy the master program too. Don't let him create anymore like me.>
<RazorSK> *That* was funny! *Very* funny! ::is being sarcastic, tries to sound upset::
<KatneySK> Love ya, guys.
<JessieSK> <ah how do we destroy that?>
<T-Bone> Well, it *would* be scary... Two of ya' whinin' about dings...
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie> T-Bone....I'm his twin...,and that's 2 of us..))
<RazorSK> At least I care about the jet's appearance!
<KatneySK> Two of YOU whining about Scardy Kat being replaced with Ann Gora.
<SypherSK> <It's in Dark Kat's master computer... If you can get past his defenses the computer's easy enough to destroy... But, there may be backups... He never gave me much of the information on my origin.>
<T-Bone> I could use another kat for that..
<RazorSK> ::siiiiighs::
<KatneySK> Stealing each others' comics...
<RazorSK> Oh, the war it would take...::laughs::
<JessieSK> 
<KatneySK> ::laughs::
<SypherSK> <::mental nod::>>
<RazorSK> Sorry, bud...you know I hadta'...
<T-Bone> ::just glowers::
<KatneySK> ^_^
<RazorSK> ::razz anew::
<KatneySK> Wanna fight, bro?
<KatneySK> ::means combat while waiting for Razor to come up with something::
<RazorSK> I'm stayin' outta this..everytime you two fight, I always end up in the line of fire!
<T-Bone> Let's just fight the bad guys first... Are Jessie and Sy done... "talking" yet?
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie> just like evrytime me and you fight T-Bone's in the line of fire....))
<SypherSK> ((Awww... Share the love!))
<KatneySK> Darn.
<JessieSK> ((someone has to...))
<JessieSK> <Sypher? can we input a virus into his main computer?>
<SypherSK> <If it's one his anti-virus systems won't destroy... Let ME handle the computer... I can wipe his systems more thoroughly.>
<RazorSK> ((ROFL!!! belatedly!))
<JessieSK> <Roger...but try to stay out of DK's sights..>
<SypherSK> <You got it. They want us back among the living, by the way...>
<JessieSK> <Ah yeah...okay sure...thanks for the help>
<RazorSK> ::tail twitches a tad as he watches Jessie, wonders what they're sayin'::
<SypherSK> <Not a problem.> ::leaves, moving away from her and reappearing by her::
<JessieSK> ::shakes her head and gets her bearings back::
<RazorSK> ::blinks:: I take it you reached an agreement...::grin::
<JessieSK> who ho....::to Razor:: we did....
<SypherSK> Well, we weren't arguing.
<KatneySK> ::yawns::
<JessieSK> yeah...we weren't..just discussing a few things...thanks Sypher..
<SypherSK> Not a problem.
<RazorSK> ::smiles:: I know you weren't...
<JessieSK> ::smiles::
<SypherSK> ::didn't get nearly as in-depth there as he did with Razor::
<JessieSK> okay now all we got to do is find Dark Crud.
<SypherSK> ::alarm goes off::

<RazorSK> ((Oh no!! I've gone...BLONDE!!))
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<T-Bone> Anytime! ::is thinking NOooooo!::
<T-Bone> Where is Dark Crud?
<Callie> Where else? Near the Megakat Tower...seems to be a villain target everytime it gets rebuilt...
<T-Bone> Roger that, Miss Briggs. We're on our way.
<T-Bone> T-Bone out. ::hangs up:: MegaKat Tower - you all know the drill.
<JessieSK> ::nods::
<RazorSK> yeah, yeah...try to prevent them from blowing it up...
<JessieSK> ::to Kat:: come on..
<SypherSK> ((::as everyone scrambles to get ready:: <T-Bone> ::calls Callie back up:: Sooooo... After we kick DK's tail... You got any plans for Friday night? ::purring voice:: <Razor> T-Bone! ::drags him away::))

<SypherSK> ::nods::
<KatneySK> ::waits for Jessie to get in the car, then takes off::
<KatneySK> ((She'll even drive like Chance. ^_^))
<JessieSK> ::Gets into the car:: hit it!!!
<RazorSK> ::hops into the WSO's seat:: You gonna be okay? ::to Sy::
<KatneySK> ::screeeeeech of the tires::
<JessieSK> ((uh oh.......))
<JessieSK> ((why do I get the feeling I'll need a lot of painkiller after that?))
<JessieSK> ((kidding..))
<SypherSK> ::nods:: Mind if I ride... "inside?"
<T-Bone> Oh no... Not my jet...
<RazorSK> "Inside?" ::pauses:: Oh...I get it...
<SypherSK> ((<T-Bone> Take me first! Or Kat! But, not the jet!))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<RazorSK> ((::DEADDEADDEAD!!!::))
<SypherSK> I won't hurt it... ::to T-Bone, ears flopping out to either side of his head, looks a lot like Razor despite his coloring::
<RazorSK> ::rubs his eyes:: T-Bone...trust me...we're not gonna crash...
<KatneySK> ((<Kat> ::smack!::))
<T-Bone> Oh, alright... You stop that look... ::to Sy::
<SypherSK> ::nods and leaps into the jet::
<T-Bone> ::notes a minutes sensor flicker, then all is well:: Alright... We're outta here! ::go launch sequence, jet leaves hangar, roars into sky::
<KatneySK> ::drivedrivedrives like a maniac to MKT::
<JessieSK> ((with SK theme in the background..))
<SypherSK> ((<Kat> ::drives like Mac Mange, collects 38 stop signs along the way::))
<KatneySK> ((Hehe))
<JessieSK> ((LOL...I am supposed ta drive like that not you...))
<RazorSK> ((::Dies!:: <Kat> So I nailed a couple stop signs...))
<KatneySK> (<Katney> And curve signs, and billboards, and maybe a few parking meters...))
<JessieSK> (<Jessie> and Commander Feral is gonna take it out of your salary which is already gone fer the next thirty years due to the sign..))
<SypherSK> ::face appears on Razor's screen, waves::
<RazorSK> ::scans his radar:: Wonder if Dark Kat's got that "army" waitin' for us...::waves at Sy, grinning::
<SypherSK> ((<Kat> ::keeps the collection back home::))
<T-Bone> I hope not...
<JessieSK> ((LOL...and never can't find the way IN to her home))
<SypherSK> ((<Kat> ::shows it off to all visitors.. like they could miss it::))
<RazorSK> ((ROFL!!))
<RazorSK> How long 'til we get there?
<SypherSK> ::luxuriates just a tad in the T-Kat's scanners, spreading himself into them and receiving all their data::
<KatneySK> ((<T-Bone> The way Katney drives about 5 seconds.))
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> Are we there yet? <T-Bone> No. <Razor> Are we there yet? <T-Bone> No. <Razor> Are we there yet? <T-Bone> NO!!))
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<T-Bone> T-minus twenty.... Seconds.
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD::))
<JessieSK> ((<Razor> are we there yet? <T-Bone> no...wait now we are..))
<KatneySK> ((::Giggle::))
<RazorSK> Roger that...::scans the area out of the cockpit:: And, I believe that Fear Ship couldn't be any bigger...
<SypherSK> ((<T-Bone> ::crashes into building:: <Razor> Are we there yet?! <T-Bone> Razor? <Razor> Yes? ::off-screen:: ::TWHWAP!:: Ow!))
<JessieSK> Kat..what are we gonna do once we're there..
<RazorSK> ((DEAD!!))
<KatneySK> Hmm... blow the tower up? ::inna kidding tone::
<SypherSK> ::in his best computer voice - has a good one:: Fear Ship reads five kat-sized heat sources.
<JessieSK> ::narrows her eyes:: could work..any *other* theories?
<RazorSK> Great...means we're gonna hafta' get rid of them to get near Dark Crud...
<SypherSK> ((<Kat> Burn it. <Jessie> And? <Kat> Nuke. <Jessie> And? <Kat> Did I mention blowing it up?))
<KatneySK> Hey, I leave the thinking to you Clawsons.
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<SypherSK> I could possibly distract them...
<RazorSK> ((ROFLDEAD!))
<JessieSK> okay...we can sneak inside and get DK by surprize...::is in her thinking mode::
<RazorSK> ::to Sy:: How?
<KatneySK> Fine by me.
<SypherSK> It's... unsophisticated... But, "neener, neener" and running sounds promising.
<RazorSK> ::laughs:: Works for me.
<JessieSK> wish we knew where exactly is his position..
<SypherSK> I just need a way in....
<JessieSK> BTW shouldn't we call it in?
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<<Feral> ::had noticed it already... has the troops moved in, shooting away while Manx screams at him onna comm::
<KatneySK> Probably should... but Feral's probably there already.
<Manx> Feral! You have to get rid of those creatures! They're takin' ovah mah cee-tay!
<JessieSK> ::nods:: I bet he's gonna have my tail when this is over..
<Feral> I'm TRYING, Mayor!
<KatneySK> So much for the element of surprise.
<RazorSK> ((<Manx> Hurry up! I have a tournament in twenty minutes!))
<T-Bone> Air attack or land?
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD::))
<KatneySK> ::arrives::
<RazorSK> Well, if Sy needs a way in...we better land...
<JessieSK> ((<Manx> from the golf course:: why is tha roof in flames?? Feral?? ))
<KatneySK> ::notices other cars:: Yup. He's here.
<JessieSK> lets go..
<T-Bone> Roger that... ::sets 'er down near the girls car::
<KatneySK> ::jumps out::
<KatneySK> Beat ya, T-Bone.
<SypherSK> ::leaps out before the landing sequence is complete::
<JessieSK> ((er how come we got there before the guys???))
<KatneySK> ((We left first. ^_^))
<SypherSK> ((RPG magic... and Kat's driving. T-Bone slowed so Razor could think.))
<JessieSK> welcome back Sypher.. ::smiles::
<RazorSK> ((ROFL, Jessie!! ::once she saw the Manx pun::))
<RazorSK> ((::dies, Kris!))
<JessieSK> ((LOL..))
<JessieSK> ((<T-Bone> you cheated!!! ::to Kat::))
<SypherSK> ::grins to Jessie:: I'll try to keep the others distracted... You guys deal with Dark Kat...
<KatneySK> Roger that.
<JessieSK> ((<Kat> no...<T-Bone> ::points at the jet engines stuck in the back of the car:: oh yeah?))
<JessieSK> roger..take care..::to Kat:: come on..
<SypherSK> ::disappears in a blast of blue that vanishes in DK's ship... the shields are down.. not a good sign::
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD Jessie::))
<RazorSK> ((::dies!!:: <T-Bone> Razor! Stop giving them the advantage!))
<T-Bone> ::hops out of the T-Kat, checking his g-trix::
<RazorSK> ::to T-Bone:: C'mon...::as he's already leaped out:: We better provide back-up...
<JessieSK> ((<Razor> I am not giving them the advantage.....I got a twin sister remember? ))
<T-Bone> Roger. ::jogs after Razor to Fear Ship:: Anybody else think it's odd that he practically left the front door open?
<KatneySK> ::leads::
<JessieSK> ::nods:: careful guys..
<RazorSK> I'm almost afraid to know that one...
<SypherSK> ::knows he'll be noticed the instant he's in the ship, waits for some attention::
<T-Bone> S'm I... ::as they go around the puzzled Enforcers who're trading fire with something in MK Tower.. they don't know the targets are in the ship::
<KatneySK> Let's try to avoid Feral, shall we, Jessie?
<JessieSK> A good idea yes...
<RazorSK> ::tail twitches anew:: I don't like this..::muttered to self::
<JessieSK> ::to Razor:: I agree with you here
<T-Bone> ::just growls softly::
<Evil Sy thing 1...shall be a..."Drej"...sorry for the Titan AE borrowing...> :spies Kat::
<SypherSK> ::is being ignored, this worries him... messes up a system::
<KatneySK> ::doesn't notice yet:: I say we shoot 'em first, let the Lord settle 'em out later.
<JessieSK> since when are you religious?
<KatneySK> Since now.
<JessieSK> just try not to shoot me...::holds up her gun:: be careful
<SypherSK> ((<Kat> Since now... I got religion listening to a televangelist yesterday.))
<KatneySK> Chill, I'm more of a sure shot than my brother.
<JessieSK> ((LOL..))
<JessieSK> maybe...
<Ething> ::takes the opportunity...and leaps into Kat::
<KatneySK> ::screams::
<JessieSK> Kat!!!! NO...
<T-Bone> ::spins around:: What in th....?!
<JessieSK> Aw crud....let 'er go.!
<SypherSK> ::finds he can't even detect what's going on on the ship - it's blocked and well::
<KatneySK> GET IT OFF ME!
<SypherSK> ::contacts the part of himself - sub-program he left in the T-Kat's computers and uses it's sensors::
<Ething> ::pushes her mind into the back, tries to get control::
<JessieSK> Kat...fight it..
<KatneySK> ::groans::
<T-Bone> ::raises his arm to fire, but can't cuz there's nothing to fire at but Kat::
<RazorSK> Crud...they were waitin' for us..
<JessieSK> ::looks at Kat:: Fight it...show the thing who's the boss...remember who you are...
<T-Bone> ::to Razor:: I think anti-energy creature suits woulda been a good idea...
<RazorSK> Ditto...
<JessieSK> ::to Razor:: this was too easy....everything that seems easy usually is...
<Ething> ::is trying to fight Kat's mind::
<KatneySK> ::growls::

<KatneySK> <NO!>
<JessieSK> we gotta make sure none of them get the rest..where's DK? we gotta find him and destroy the main computer
<Ething> <Don't try to stop me!>
<RazorSK> He's inside...::as he looks around::
<Ething> ::pushes her mind aside, takes over her::
<Sypher> ::and sparks fly from an overhead light as the twosome shoot through it's energy stream::
<KatneySK> ::short scream::
<JessieSK> Kat!!!!
<JessieSK> ::looks at her:: oh CRUD...Kat..fight it...
<JessieSK> come on lets get DK..

<JessieSK> ::to T-Bone:: T-thanks...Kat no...
<TBoneSK> ::growls, activates his cement launcher::
<TBoneSK> We gotta pin Kat before she hurts someone...
<JessieSK> not with cement...
<JessieSK> try knocking her out..less painfull..
<Ething> ::runs after them, tries to send a message to the others::
<TBoneSK> I don't have any tranqs! Razor?
<JessieSK> ::snaps her fingers:: I got a few..
<TBoneSK> Then, use 'em...

<TBoneSK> ::drags her along::
<JessieSK> no...T-Bone..we must destroy the main computer..
<RazorSK> ::falls to his knees, holding his head: <Not again, not again...>
<TBoneSK> That's what I mean... ::pulling her down the corridor::
<JessieSK> what about Razor and Kat? ::looks back at them::
<Ething> ::can't even get Kat up, mun guesses...::
<TBoneSK> ::glances back, eyes misting a bit, then forces himself to think:: Razor's been through this before and Kat's the stubbornest creature on earth... They'll manage 'til we find a way to destroy those things.
<TBoneSK> ::deep sigh:: Besides... We can't fight in their heads for them...
<JessieSK> I hope you're right...

<KatneySK> ::groans, grasps onto gun...::
<JessieSK> ::nods as she looks around the cargo bay::
<2nd Ething> ::gapes at Razor's fighting spirit::
<RazorSK> <Had enough?!>
<T-Bone> <May I ask...WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?>
<2nd Ething> <Never... ::snarls:: ::is programmed... death before defeat::>
<Sypher> <Saving your tail?>
<KatneySK> <If you feel this pain... you'll sooner kill yourself than stay in my body...> ::takes gun, puts barrel to her left leg...::
<T_Bone> <You coulda warned me, y'know!>
<Sypher> <If I'd waited that long, you'd be fighting with someone a lot less considerate than I...>
<Ething> <What's that supposed to mean?>
<KatneySK> <This!> ::fires::
<T-Bone> ::siiiiighs deeply:: <Why me??> ::more at himself::
<Ething> ::screams, tries to get cut off, but is lost::
<JessieSK> ::is in her thinking mode::
<Sypher> <Well, you're effectively safe now... Saving if Dark Kat tries anything..>
<KatneySK> ::big bang, people should hear it::
<RazorSK> <Tough...> ::fights anew::
<2nd Ething> ::he and Razor might have heard it being in the same hall, but they're locked in mortal mental combat::
<T-Bone> <All right, all right. I forgive you...jus' make sure you're out once it's all over?>
<Ething> ::finally leaps out....only to go out inna poof....is gone::
<Sypher> <Of course.... And, can you... ::is getting T-Bone's emotions in spades, he doesn't hide them nearly as much as Razor does:: ... can you go easy here?>
<KatneySK> ::now in control of body, sits and screams in pain::
<T-Bone> 
<T-Bone> <I'll try...>
<KatneySK> ::groans, tear in her eye:: Whatever it takes to get in control again.
<JessieSK> ::gives out a wince:: Kat...CRUD>...
<RazorSK> <Kat!! Crud....> ::hits the creep anew::
<Sypher> <Okay... ::mental pat to big guy::>
<Ething> ::whams Razor one back::
<T-Bone> ::smirks:: <Thanks...>
<RazorSK> ::falls back:: <Gah!>
<Sypher> <If Dark Kat tries to control me... I'll try to keep you out of it, I promise.>
<RazorSK> ::stands up anew and tries again....and is getting tired::
<Ething> ::smirk:: <You *can't* beat me..>
<T-Bone> <I'm not gonna let 'im control you...that's *my* promise...>
<RazorSK> 
<Sypher> <Thanks... ::pauses, is somehow connected to the others after leaping through the one:: One of the others bit the big one...and one's... Move it! Razor needs us!>
<Ething> <What's it matter?>
<RazorSK> <Unlike you, I have feelings...>
<Ething> <And, they're a miserable weakness.>
<RazorSK> ::leaps towards him again, manages to take control for two seconds before falling back:: T-BONE!!!!!!!
<TBoneSK> ::straightens T-Bone, spins to Jessie:: Be right back! ::disappears::
<JessieSK> ::gasps:: Razor? T-Bone?
<KatneySK> ::issa somewhere new Razor, tending to her wound::
<TBoneSK> ::reappears in the hallway::
<JessieSK> ::is left standing in the cargo bay:: when will they tell me everything?
<RazorSK> ::has fallen to his knees::
<TBoneSK> Razor! ::both of them yelling::
<KatneySK> Get 'em Razor!
<RazorSK> <T-Bone!!> :tries to yell it out, can't...::
<TBoneSK> ::runs to him::
<Sypher> <Punch him...> ::communicates his plan with the words::
<T-Bone> <Say what?!>
<Sypher> ::repeats plan mentally, quickly::
<T-Bone> ::doesn't even bother to ask anymore....yet is still skeptical...::
<TBoneSK> ::aaaand... Razor gets slugged one in the gut, sending Sy outta T-Bone, through Raz, and into the other Ething::
<RazorSK> ::doubles over in pain::
<Sypher> ::tackles the other Ething and pushes him out::
<JessieSK> ::sits on the floor thinking over things::
<RazorSK> Ow.....::groans::
<TBoneSK> ::scoops Razor up and moves him out of the way as the two blue things roll out into the hallway::
<Ething> ::fights back Sy:: <You miserable...!>
<TBoneSK> Are you okay, buddy? ::to Razor::
<RazorSK> Didja have to punch me so hard?
<TBoneSK> Sy made me do it. ::instead of "the devil made me do it"::
<RazorSK> ::patent look of pathetic::
<Sypher> <Not HALF as miserable as you're gonna be!>
<RazorSK> Yeah, yeah...put the blame on Sy...
<Ething> <You're the one who left, you traitor!>
<TBoneSK> ::notices that Kat is screaming and bleeding and stuff in the floor:: Crud.. There's too many of you guys hurt here...
<KatneyKitty> Hiya, T-Bone. Had to hurt myself or I'd still be possessed.
<RazorSK> ::manages to get his breath back and goes after:: You okay, Kat?
<Sypher> <Traitor? I'm the one who realized I was working for a freak who stands for everything wrong in the world!>
<TBoneSK> ::goes to her too::
<KatneyKitty> Yeah, soon as I get something to tie this wound up. ::picks up bullet:: That went straight through.
<Ething> <He created you!>
<RazorSK> ::winces:: Ouch....::rips off a strip offa his sleeve and tends the wound::
<Sypher> <And, gave me no soul.>
<KatneyKitty> Thanks, Razor.
<RazorSK> :smiles:: Anytime.
<TBoneSK> You okay yourself? ::to Razor:
<RazorSK> I'll be fine. ::puts a hand on his shoulder:: Thanks, bud.
<TBoneSK> ::shrugs:: It was half Sy... He did save my tail...
<KatneyKitty> ::slowly stands:: Come on, let's get Dark Kat.
<Ething> ::is beginning to tire out due to the battle:: <You'll pay for your treachery!>
<RazorSK> ::smirks at T-Bone, but says nothing...he can figure it out::
<Sypher> <So long as got to live first... ::pauses:: Something you've never done... ::flings himself *into* the other Ething just like he did T-Bone::>
<Ething> <Gah! What are you doing!?>
<TBoneSK> Fine! He's a kat! He's not a bad guy! I admit it!
<RazorSK> I'm so proud of you...::pinches his cheek like a mother would do just to annoy him::
<Sypher> <Absorbing you into myself... If you have a mind of your own, we'll soon see... If not, you'll be just another part of me.>
<KatneyKitty> ::giggles::
<TBoneSK> Razor...
<TBoneSK> ::growling voice::
<Ething> ::tries to fight him off, but can't.::
<RazorSK> Yeeeeesss??? ::is grinning, knows he's gonna get hurt::
<TBoneSK> We have a villain to whop - I'll get you later.
<KatneyKitty> Razor, only little brothers and sisters can annoy T-Bone. Ain't that right, bro?
<Sypher> <So? Are you a kat? Or a clever programming trick?>
<TBoneSK> ::eyes her::
<RazorSK> Awww....I was kinda hopin' you'd do it now and save me the trouble..
<TBoneSK> I just let you live cuz Mom would kill me...
<Ething> ::growls::
<KatneyKitty> I know. ^_^
<Sypher> <Well? ::poking into Ething::>
<TBoneSK> ((<Sy> ::poke:: Tellmetellmehuhhuh?!))
<RazorSK> ((::dies!::))
<TBoneSK> ::notes there's only one ball of energy now:: Uhm... What happened over there?
<Ething> <I'll never give in to your tricks! You'll be stopped! Dark Kat will have the city!>
<RazorSK> ::notices:: Sypher??
<Sypher> <He doesn't deserve to have anything.. And, I'm not letting him hurt those people... Do you know what it feels like to think you're going to die? I won't let anyone suffer like that.>
<KatneyKitty> Wha...?
<Ething> ::snarls:: <You try what you can...Dark Kat will finish you off once he catches you!> ::has run outta energy...is about to go byebye::
<Sypher> ::finally gets into the others' coding, tug, tug:: <Well, you're programmed to be a nasty piece of work... No emotions beyond malicious... Limited thinking capability... And, look... No free will.>
<Ething> <No.....duh....> ::has no more energy...permission to have this guy buy the farm?::
<Sypher> ::does the equivalent of the Warner style light puff onna guy about to fall off a cliff::
<Sypher> ::ie the juuust enough to push 'im off::
<Ething> ::is out::
<Sypher> ::reappears as a kat:: Done... And, I know where Dark Kat is... ::absorbed all info the thing had::
<RazorSK> ::blinks:: You okay?
<Sypher> ::nods:: And, just a hair charged up. The little bugger did me a favor there.
<KatneyKitty> ::limps over::
<RazorSK> ::nods, breathes a sigh of relief:: Oh, and about what you had my partner do to me back there...?
<Sypher> ::ears flop:: Sorry..
<KatneyKitty> We tried to warn you guys earlier.
<RazorSK> Actually, thanks. ::grins big:: That thing was giving me a headache...
<Sypher> I'd imagine... Almost gave ME a headache...
<KatneyKitty> At least I did.
<RazorSK> ::chuckles and puts a hand on his shoulder, then turns to the others:: Let's go find Dark Kat...::to Kat:: You up to it, or do you need a doctor?
<KatneyKitty> Let's rock.

Alright! Razor and Kat are safe... more or less in Kat's case... But, now the gang still has to find Dark Kat... and... are there more of those Ethings (also known as CyberDemons if you couldn't guess... You could? Drat!)... What will happen next? Read on to find out! -- CyberDemons, Part 6
