CyberDemons, Part 6

Aw! My Very Own Widdle Ething. I Will Hug Him and Squeeze Him and Call Him George

<DarkKatSK> ::stomps back and forth angrily in his temporary citadel beneath MK Tower... can hear the sounds of the Enforcers fighting his creeplings above::
<DarkKatSK> ::isn't really worried that they'll find him - he's far below and well-hidden... IS bothered by the two ethings' failure:: Two of them off-line... ::looks at his computer readout and growls::
<JessieSK> ::mutters to herself:: if I were DK where would I be...somewhere in MK tower....hmmm... hmmm BINGO he's gotta be beneath it...::thinks if she should wait for the others, decides to go in alone.::
<DarkKatSK> ::sends a computer transmission to the last two ethings telling them to stop merging with the kats and just destroy them::
<JessieSK> ::is in the MK towers, carefully moving deeper underneath..
<DarkKatSK> ::hears an alarm going off.. looks to see Jessie on one of his monitors:: Will that blasted she-kat follow me to the ends of the earth?!
<JessieSK> ::doesn't know that she's been noticed, looks around::
<DarkKatSK> ((<Jessie> Awww... I thought men liked a woman who'd follow them to the ends of the earth? <Dark Kat> Not when she means to lock them up.))
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<JessieSK> ((<DK> or when she's constantly pointing a gun at him and shotting him with a tranquilizer))
<DarkKatSK> No matter. I'll deal with her once and for all... ::pauses to think, gets an evil idea::
<DarkKatSK> ::like he'd get a *nice* one!::
<JessieSK> ((DEAD..I was just about to say that..))
<JessieSK> ((<DK> ::gets a nice idea of getting rid of Jessie by setting her up with Viper::))
<JessieSK> ((<DK> she is single ain't she?))
<DarkKatSK> ((<DK> ::then makes a face:: No, that's too horrible even for me.))
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<JessieSK> ::mutters:: come on DK where are ya....I don't have all day....::looks for any openeing, recently used things etc::
<DarkKatSK> ::a box in the far corner looks like creeplings have chewed on it::
<JessieSK> ::eyes narrows as she sees the box:: Bingo....don't think any of the workers chew on cardboard..
<JessieSK> ::moves closer to examine the box and to look for openeings and etc::
<DarkKatSK> ::one flap of the box is sticking *into* the wall::
<DarkKatSK> ::recalls the ethings::
<JessieSK> ::mutters:: whoa...either the boxes are growing into the wall or I'm on the right track.. ::takes out her gun and moves closer::
<DarkKatSK> ::as in calls them back, not like a factory recall - they're supposed to be dangerous to the populace::
<JessieSK> ((DEAD))
<JessieSK> ((Firestone tyres!!! Firestone Ethings -- some tend to blow out for no reason))
<DarkKatSK> ::flap is stuck and juuuust barely holding a hidden door open::
<DarkKatSK> ((::DIES!::))
<JessieSK> ::opens the hidden door and slips inside, looks around with her gun drawn::
<DarkKatSK> ::nothing appears::
<DarkKatSK> ::looks around as the two Ethings materialize in the room::
<DarkKatSK> ::a tunnel appears before Jessie, leading into darkness::
<JessieSK> ::stays still listening for noises and anything that'll tell her where DK Is::
<JessieSK> ::looks into the tunnel..:: lets see what's in there..
<JessieSK> ::goes in:: ((okay if someone jumps and tries ta mug me someone's gonna be dead meat))
<DarkKatSK> ::doesn't send anyone after Jessie, is waiting for her to arrive to deal with her himself::
<DarkKatSK> ::orders the Ethings to leap back into the computer they came from - has modifications to make on them::
<T-Bone> ::turns back to Kat:: Look... You're not going far on that leg...
<KatneySK> I can last, T-Bone. ::stands on her good leg, leans, falls back on her tail:: Like I said...
<T-Bone> ::picks her up:: You'll get yourself killed... What're you gonna do? ::small grin:: Bite Dark Kat's knees off?
<DarkKatSK> ((<Kat> Tis but a scratch!))
<KatneySK> No, I'll bite YOURS off.
<T-Bone> You better not. ::sniffs:: I'd never save your tail again... ::starts to carry her outside::
<KatneySK> Aww, T-Bone!
<DarkKatSK> ::starts to re-program the Ethings, keeping an eye on Jessie's progress::
<T-Bone> Don't you "awww" me... You're getting medical attention so you can't spend the next twenty years reminding me that you wouldn't have a permanent limp if I'd gotten you doctored sooner.
<KatneySK> Nyeh. ::sticks her tongue out at him::
<JessieSK> ::moves arounf slowly being careful not to bump into anything:: where's nightvision when ya want one..
<T-Bone> ::carries her out where the Enforcers are still fighting armed creeplings in MK Tower after nodding to Razor::
<T-Bone> ::bellows:: Hey, I need a medic!
<JessieSK> ((keyword bellows...))
<DarkKatSK> ((<Kat> YOU don't! <T-Bone> After you're whining, yes I do! I want an aspirin!))
<KatneySK> ((::giggles::))
<KatneySK> ::rubs her ears::
<Feral> I always said you needed one.. ::mutters::
<KatneySK> Knock it off, Commander.
<Feral> and what's wrong with you?
<Feral> what did you do to her SK?
<T-Bone> Not me. The... ::whatever rank Kat is or is not here:: .... 's been shot in the leg.
<KatneySK> Bad leg wound is all. Put me down, T-Bone.
<T-Bone> ::sets her down gently:: She got hurt fighting Dark Kat's new creatures... ::glaaare at Feral::
<KatneySK> ::leans on something to keep in balance and keeps bad leg up::
<Feral> get me a couple of paramedics..and you SK stay out of my way!
<T-Bone> Am I in your way?
<T-Bone> ::challenging tone::
<KatneySK> Calm down, T-Bone.
<DarkKatSK> ::finishes his reprogramming, leans back in a chair and waits... exposes his back to the door too::
<Feral glares at T-Bone> keep out of Enforcer business...and where is Lt Clawson?
<KatneySK> Still inside?
<T-Bone> I don't know. And, can't a concerned citizen help one of your Enforcers?
<KatneySK> He can when my partner's involved!
<Feral> you call that help? you always end up destroying half the city!
<JessieSK> ::is getting used ta the darkness in a way, wonders why it's so quiet..too quiet in fact::
<T-Bone> ::through gritted teeth:: Your Enforcers are the ones destroying things right now. I'm trying to help your officers. And, to warn you. Dark Kat has some new creatures that you don't want loose in your force. ::nods to Kat, assured the medics who just arrived will take care of her, and turns to go:: Watch your back, Commander.
<Feral just growls>
<KatneySK> ::snickers softly::
<Feral turns back to ordering around, damaging stuff and etc...>
<T-Bone> ::stalks off inna sour mood::
<DarkKatSK> ::just waits for Jessie::
<JessieSK> ::notices DK's back, senses a trap but continues on anyway::
<DarkKatSK> Ahhh... You've arrived at last, my dear...
<JessieSK> Kinda figured you'd be here Dark Crud
<DarkKatSK> Yes, you seem to have a habit of finding me... ::turns around slowly, eyes glowing red in the room's dim lighting::
<JessieSK> ::is a bit spooked by the eyes thing:: Dark Kat you're under arrest.
<DarkKatSK> ::chuckles:: I think not... You've met my AI/Organic prototypes, haven't you? ::means the Ethings::
<JessieSK> I met them yes...as if that makes a difference.. ::points her gun at him::
<DarkKatSK> Ah... Then, you should know their current orders...
<JessieSK> which are...?
<DarkKatSK> I had hoped they'd be useful in controlling kats... However, it seems they've trouble there... So I've rearranged the last two's.. "marching orders" as it were.
<JessieSK> underestimated again Dark Kat right?
<DarkKatSK> Their orders are still to merge with your SWAT Kat friends... only this time they'll do so and then... Well, their own meager personalities will simply die before your friends can fight them off.
<DarkKatSK> ::eyes her, knows she'll figure out there has to be a catch if he *wants* that to happen::
<JessieSK> ah-hah....and the catch is? ::being careful not to keep her alert down::
<DarkKatSK> Well, if my creations merge with your friends... and never leave... what does that make your friends?
<JessieSK> ::Realizes:: never...
<DarkKatSK> But, of course. Your friends will stop fighting once the creatures' personalities are gone... And, then my programming codes will merge with their minds and I *will* control them.
<JessieSK> never...you know that DK never...and besides...if they're gone I'll still be here..and I'll stop you even if it kills me..
<JessieSK> ::is keeping her feelings and anger closed up::
<DarkKatSK> My gaining control of them *will* kill you, I don't doubt...
<JessieSK> how would you know?
<DarkKatSK> ::just smiles:: One can tell...
<JessieSK> ::smirks:: yeah right
<DarkKatSK> ((<DK> Aside from the fact that you're going purple with rage and clutching that gun so tight your knuckles are white?))
<JessieSK> ((LOL...))
<DarkKatSK> ::waves a hand:: No matter. The prototypes are already moving in to carry out my orders.
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie> I am purple not from rage....but from seing yer mug))
<JessieSK> ::mutters:: Crud.. ::wonders how she can warn the rest::
<DarkKatSK> ((<Jessie> No wait... That makes me green... You're color blind!))
<JessieSK> ((ROFL))
<DarkKatSK> So, what will it be? Do you run to warn them or stay and hold me here?
<JessieSK> ::to DK:: you know that they can defeat your prototypes..
<JessieSK> ::reaches into her pocket for the tracer Razor gave her and presses the button sending out an alarm::
<JessieSK> ::to DK:: the SK's know the prototypes' weaknesses , they candefeat them....
<DarkKatSK> That's the point... They'll think they *have* defeated my prototypes. And, all the prototypes have to do is merge with them...
<JessieSK> They're too smart to fall for that..
<JessieSK> and besides you will never be rid of them...I will still be here...and I'll get rid of you somehow
<DarkKatSK> ::saw her call:: What can they do? The prototypes will leap into them and seem to disappear... Hours, or perhaps days later, they'll find they've the same powers as my prototypes because their two bodies are permanently merged. Some time later, my programming codes will infect their minds and... Well, you can imagine the rest.
<JessieSK> ::can imagine but doesn't show the hurt:: Enough talk DK...you're under arrest
<DarkKatSK> I don't think so... ::disappears, was a hologram the whole time::
<JessieSK> ::is surprized, looks around for the real thing enters the room:: this isn't funny
<DarkKatSK> ((And, uh... I don't know where he really is...))
<JessieSK> ((neither do I....behind the control panel?))
<T-Bone> ::is heading back toward where he left the others still snarling under his breath::
<DarkKatSK> ((Pay no attention to that supervillain behind the curtain!))
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<JessieSK> ::calls out:: come on DK...::hopes no one tries ta jump her:: come ot come out whereever you are
<DarkKatSK> ::is a few rooms away, chuckling quietly:: She'll run back to save the SWAT Kats soon enough... Not that she *can*...
<JessieSK> ::hears the chuckle. follows it::
<JessieSK> ::wonders where all the ethings are::
<DarkKatSK> ::realizes Jessie's following him:: Blast her.... ::calls up a computer program and sets it to make another Ething::
<JessieSK> ::calls out:: Dark Kat...you can't win
<JessieSK> ((blast me?? with what? hmmm)))
<DarkKatSK> ::returns:: Oh, but I can! ::turns to the new Ething he created:: Take her... ::under his breath:: And, hold her as long as you can...
<Ething> ::pounces on Jessie::
<JessieSK> <CRUD>..::tries ta escape it:: this is not good.!!
<Ething> ::leaps into her::
<JessieSK> ::is losing control of herself:: <No, you won't get me>
<T-Bone> ::has an Ething leap in him... yelps, waits... and nothing happens:: Huh? What was that? Passing through or the defective one?
<JessieSK> ::is fighting for control::
<JessieSK> ((passing through...heh heh))
<Ething> ::fights back::
<DarkKatSK> ((<Ething> Just... "passing through"... ::grins:: <T-Bone> Energy creature humor... Oy...))
<JessieSK> <you won't take me alive and you know it..and tell that to your boss>
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<Ething> ::tries to do like all the others and control Jessie's mind:: <Your continued existance means nothing to me...>
<JessieSK> <yeah well it means something to me...> ::sets up a wall against his control::
<Ething> ::tries to fight thru it::
<JessieSK> ::recalls every memory she has::
<JessieSK> <I'd rather die that be controlled by you and join Dark Kat>
<Ething> ::pretty much responds blankly - hey, DK made 'im quick, he ain't too bright::
<T-Bone> ::meanwhile, rejoins the gang::
<Ething> ::fights and fights, doesn't respond to memories like Sypher did, just finds them more to get around::
<JessieSK> ::fights:: <::growls at it>
<Ething> ::fightfightfight, after a while of this, growls back, IS picking up a few things from her::
<DarkKatSK> ((Awww... Look... Jessie taught it to growl..))
<JessieSK> <what are ya growling at me for?>
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<JessieSK> ((wow..what next?? I better not let it near my guns))
<Ething> <::snarls::>
<JessieSK> <oh shut up!> ::fights::
<Ething> ::fights back::
<JessieSK> ::gets an idea, closes everything away from the thing::
<Ething> ::blinks at this::
<JessieSK> ::keeps her mind clear doesn't say anything but keeps fighting::
<Ething> ::finds itself in the void,... pokes around... is effectively lost::
<JessieSK> ::keeps fighting::
<Ething> ::fights back everytime it can *find* her to land a blow::
<JessieSK> ::keeps her mind clear, doesn't think anything::
<Ething> ::lost again:: <Where.....?>
<JessieSK> ::keeps it up::
<Ething> ::kinda curls into itself and waits::
<JessieSK> ::keeps it up still not thinking anything, pretty much dead but not dead, here but not here::
<Ething> ::pokepoke, can tell she's biologically alive::
<JessieSK> ((poke poke...that's not nice..but oh well..))
<DarkKatSK> ((It's not nice ;) ))
<Ething> ::tries to take control if she's away then::
<JessieSK> ((mebbe I should teach it some..))
<JessieSK> ::knows he's stopped, keeps alert but still doesn' t do or say anything::
<DarkKatSK> ((<Jessie>::bombards Ething with rules of manners:: <Ething> ::comes out all proper and stuff::))
<JessieSK> ((LOL...meybe it'll work..))
<Ething> ::poke... step... try to wriggle into control::
<JessieSK> ((<Ething, to anyone he wants ta take over> can I?))
<JessieSK> <Ah ah not today>
<DarkKatSK> ((<Ething> May I please?))
<JessieSK> ((LOL))
<JessieSK> ((<Ething, bows> if you will, after you.. ))
<Ething> ::looks around for retaliation::
<DarkKatSK> ((<Ething> No, I insist - after you.))
<JessieSK> ::doesn't let him get into control:: <Told ya yer not taking me over>
<Ething> ::gets mentally knocked back on his rear::
<KatneyHousework> ((Awww! ::gets her camera::))
<JessieSK> ((<Ething> no after you I insist.. ))
<Ething> <What are you doing? Fight me or don't already!> ::is learning stuff from her.. including anger::
<JessieSK> <What am I doing you won't find out> ::keeps her mind closed up::
<Ething> ::sits in a corner and sulks - no clue where he learned *that*::
<JessieSK> ::wonders what she can do to get him out::
<Ething> ::is searching thru his limited thinking ability, is out of ideas::
<JessieSK> <what's the matter? too tough fer ya?>
<Ething> ::isn't really feline enough to rise to taunts::
<JessieSK> <Guess so.>
<Ething> <I'm... supposed to take over you.... I can't...>
<JessieSK> <why is that? why can't you?>
<Ething> <You... you're very hard to fight...>
<JessieSK> <and the rest are harder>
<Ething> ::seems to fade back a bit::

Short, but it left some cliffhangers, eh? One of Dark Kat's new prototype Ethings is in T-Bone and Jessie's still fighting a now-sulking normal Ething. And, Dark Kat got away again! Well... He may not manage it in the final round... Read on for the CyberDemon finale! -- CyberDemons, Part 7
