Episode 1: Purr-fect Partners.
On a beautiful Sunday in Petropolis, California. There was a tour going on at the Petropolis Museum of Natural History, looking at the a priceless artifact of great power. The Tour Guide was none other than a familiar tan female feline with pink hair, wearing a standard outfit for the job.
"And over here is the Petropolis Museum's most famous possession: the Krueger Rat." She explained, pointing at the artifact with her right palm.
The tourists quickly let out an impressed, "Oooooh" in response, as they all admired it with great intrigue. A few even took a couple of snapshots from their digital cameras.
"Made of rare ratamantium, legend has it that when the full moon hits its' emerald eyes," the tour guide female cat continued, "And when that happens, this artifact is capable of hypnotizing rats to do whatever bidding the holder of this thing says."
"Can this artifact really do that to rats?" A tourist nearby asked with arched eyebrows.
"Yes indeed." The female cat tour guide answered firmly. "It can be a tool for great evil in the wrong hands."
Moments after finishing that sentence, an explosion was heard from above, causing the tourists to scatter in a panic, as many glass shards from the skylight littering the carpet from the aftermath.
"What in the world was that?" Another tourist asked with fear in his voice.
His question however was quickly answered within seconds. Out of nowhere, a crazy grey rat wearing a bluish-white lab coat came swinging down towards the ground with a hookshot tied to the roof in dramatic fashion.
"And that is precisely why I'm stealing it!" the evil rat declared seconds after landing nearby the Kruger Rat display, his arms held up high in glee.
"Who are you?" A tourist asked, still a bit startled from the blast.
The vile rat responded to question with a sly grin, "Who am I? Why, I'm the most EVIL mind in all of Petropolis!"
"The Chamelon?" another inquired.
Snaptrap looked at him with a slight annoyance. "No."
A third tourist spoke up, saying, "Birdbrain?"
Snaptrap again answered with an annoyed, "No."
"The Cane Toad?" A fourth one asked.
Snaptrap by this time was starting to lose his cool, again answering with another, "No."
"The Great White?" Another guessed.
"NO!" Snaptrap now was becoming completely unglured by their constant wrong answers.
A 6th one dared to guess as well, saying, "Ripclaw?"
Finally having enough of this, Snaptrap let out a yell of pure disgust, shouting, "Geez Louise, you all suck at guessing! I'm Verminious Snaptrap, dirty rat and leader of America's Diabolical Order of Mayhem!
To the vile rat's surprise, and irritation might I add, all the tourists said in unison, "Never heard of ya."
It was all Snaptrap could do to keep from cursing at them by this point, but instead, he bit his tounge and instead responded with a smirk, "Well, you WILL soon enough!" he then grabbed the rat in a one swift grab and added, "Because once I expose the Krueger Rat to the full moon, every rat in the area will be under MY control!"
Before Snaptrap could even take one step towards the exit, he heard a familar voice, one he sadly wasn't counting on that time.
"That's what you think, rat-face!" the female tour guide declared to him.
Within seconds, The tour guide ripped off her tour guide uniform to reveal herself as Kitty Katswell, a beautiful cat girl with tan fur, green eyes, and jet black hair held up by a white headband, wearing a grey jumpsuit over a white turtleneck sweater with matching white gloves and boots.*
Kitty quickly got into a martial arts pose soon afterwards, adding with a tone of authority, "Sorry to spoil your little moment, pal, but you're busted!
Snaptrap at first was heavily surprised by her sudden appearance, but quickly composed himself, saying with a smug look on his face, "Well, well, well if it isn't TUFF's No. 1 agent, Kitsandra Grey Katswell?" He then added while grabbing a nearby spear, "So, you ready to lose one of your nine lives?"
Kitty though kept her cool, retorting sharply, "I'd rather lose one of my ten claws, instead!
Seeing these claws deeply spooked the vile rat, as he quickly decided to take his chances escaping than fighting her.
"Oh no you don't! You're not getting away from me that easily!" the tan feline declared, pointing a finger at him while he fled the room.
Running as fast as he could, Snaptrap soon sees the exit door up ahead, where he quickly picks up the pace with his legs in an adreneline frenzy. Kitty during this time however chases after him furiously in hot pursuit, closing in with relative ease due to being faster. By the time they get near the door, Kitty is within three feet, where she then attempts to pounce on him from behind.
Unfortunately for her though, Snaptrap manages to get outside in time and then slams the door in her face, causing the tan feline agent to crash into it head on with a loud thud.
With a sly chuckle, the vile rat soon looks back with a sneer, saying arrogantly, "Too bad for you, furball! Better luck next time!"
And with that statement, Snaptrap ran towards the DOOM Mobile near the curb, chuckling to himself, as his D.O.O.M henchmen were waiting for him.
"You get the artifact, Snaptrap?" Larry inquired.
"Yup, I sure did, Larry." Snaptrap answered gleefully. "Now, floor it!"
Larry, Snaptrap's brother-in-law, a small, blue, nerdy-looking shrew wearing a green fleece, quickly complies and drives in a hurry.
A few seconds later, Kitty finally opened the door, staggering out with a look of pain and rage on her face.
"Okay, Snaptrap..." She said with a fierce hiss. "You want to play cat and mouse with me? Then I'm game!"
Pressing a specialized button on her outfit, Kitty quickly activated her rocket skates on her feet, where she then blasted off in hot pursuit once again.
While this was going on, Snaptrap was in a sense patting himself for a job well done.
"Okay, let's return to DOOM HQ, and report to General Guar that we've got the Krueger Rat,
he told his henchmen, "and are now ready for Phase 2 of our plan."
Not even thirty seconds after he said this, Ollie, a British possum wearing a light blue turtleneck and pants, and a purple jacket with matching hat, notices Kitty behind them.
"Um, boss?" the possum said with deep hesistation in his voice, "I hate to bearer of bad news, but it appears Agent Katswell is in hot pursuit. She looks pretty ticked too."
Snaptrap soon looked back and saw the same thing, making him mutter with deep annoyance, "Oh brother... Don't those TUFF agents know when to call it a day?" He then looks in Bad Dog's direction, telling him firmly, "Get rid of her!"
Bad Dog, a big, white hound wearing a black tank top with a skull on it, soon replies with a nod, "You got it, boss!"
Bad Dog swiftly heads toward the back of the vehicle, opening up its doors and pulling out a bazooka launcher. Once it was over his right shoulder, he fires rocket after rocket at the feline agent in rapid succession.
Being T.U.F.F's #1 agent however, Kitty evades the explosives fired at her with relative ease, swaying left and right on the road, even jumping over a couple of them too. She then says after ten seconds of this, "Is that the best your men can shoot, Snaptrap? My mom has better aim than them!"
Within moments, Kitty finally pulls out her weapon, none other than a M79 Grenade Launcher, adding, "Here, let me show you how it's done, boys!"
Unfortunately for Kitty though, Larry was keeping a close eye on his mirrors while driving. The split second he saw her pull out the Grenade Launcher and fire at their tires, the nerdy shrew quickly reacted in a panic, swerving into the oncoming lane, evading the grenade by a mere foot. His troubles however were far from over, as a car in the oncoming lane quickly blared his horn at him for switching lanes, making the shrew swerve back into the right lane seconds later to avoid a head on collision. Larry swerved so abruptly however, it causes to Bad Dog to drop his Bazzoka Launcher onto the floor of the vehicle with a jolt, even almost losing it out the back door.
Deeply disgusted, Snaptrap soon walks up to the drives compartment and heavily smacks him upside the head for his actions, yelling, 'You moron! Are you trying to get us killed?
"I was trying to keep us from getting caught, Snaptrap." Larry replied angrily, while rubbing his head. "That grenade would have caused our vehicle to tip over from the blast."
"That's Bad Dog's job, stupid." The vile rat shot back firmly. "You just hold your line and drive us back to HQ as fast as you can without crashing. You got it?"
Now even more angry than Snaptrap, Larry answered back sharply at him, "Fine! Have it your way!"
While this was going on, Bad Dog finally reloads his weapon with several more rockets, saying with a tone of unease, "She's closing in fast, boss! I don't know how much longer I can keep her at bay."
"Keep her busy a little longer, Bad Dog." Snaptrap ordered. "I've got an idea."
Kitty meanwhile soon reloads her own weapon as well. Just then, she gets an idea as well, telling herself, "Ok, the street up ahead is very narrow with a ninety degree turn soon after. I'll wait until they have to slow down and then I'll easily blast em!"
Not even five seconds later, the D.O.O.M Mobile and Kitty soon made their way onto the narrow city street, with both Kitty and Snaptrap preparing to make their next move.
Snaptrap then turned to another of his henchmen to address him. "Billy?"
Billy, a white pigeon wearing blue jeans, a dark brown jacket over a black T-shirt and a scar over his right eye, flies towards Snaptrap, replying, "Yea...?"
"On my signal, hit the button to activate the smokescreen." The vile rat ordered.
Billy quickly nodded his head in response, saying, "Sure thing."
Snaptrap soon flashed another evil grin. "If we time this right," he explained to the his white pigeon henchman, "she'll crash into head on into an oncoming skyscraper, SPLAT!, like a pancake."
"Oh, I like the sound of that." Billy chimed in, soon flashing an evil grin of his own.
Ten more seconds soon passed, with both the D.O.O.M Mobile and Agent Katswell now halfway down the narrow street. Once Snaptrap saw this himself, he said to Billy, "Get into position now. It's showtime."
Billy swiftly did just that, where he soon had his right wing on the button, replying with a nod, "Ready to go, boss."
During this time, Bad Dog again fired numerous rockets to keep Kitty back, but it sadly was completely futile. No matter how many he fired at the tan feline agent, she kept evading and closing in, now within five feet of their vehicle, pointing her weapon at it a 2nd time.
Moments later, both Kitty and Snaptrap say something in almost unision fashion. "Takedown, in 3… 2… 1…"
Unfortunately for the both of them, their plans were abruptly interuppted. Out of nowhere, a car from the right side of a driveway soon darts out in front of the Buggy, but greatly mistimes their approach, now on a collison course with the D.O.O.M Mobile. Larry during this time sees it and greatly panics, but holds his line for fear of getting smacked again. Needless to say, both cars soon collide violently with each other in a sideswipe, with the smaller car recieving major damage to its right side as result D.O.O.M Mobile's front spikes, causing it to spin out of control and come to a stop in the middle of the road with smoking pouring from its engine.
Snaptrap, heavily startled by this jolt, again heads towards the driver comparment, demanding, "What in the world was that, Larry?! Don't tell me you just crashed into another vehicle!"
"Hey, you told my line, and so I did." Larry countered.
Larry's actions sadly again come with repercussions, as the hood of the D.O.O.M Mobile also receives enough damage to close several intakes of the radiator, causing an alarming rise in water temperature. Even Bad Dog abruptly drops his weapon onto the pavement as a result of the heavy jolt as well. Kitty herself is also greatly affected by this, where she quickly has no choice to but to take evasion action by leaping over the stalled car in front of her and then slamming on the brakes to slow her speed down.
Not surprisingly, Snaptrap is completely fed up with his brother in law's driving, muttering angrily, "Larry, I swear when we get back, I'm going to…"
The vile rat cannot finish that thought, as he soons sees the sharp turn up ahead, shouting in horror, "Slow down, you idiot! You're going too fast!"
Larry soon sees this himself and slams on the brakes as hard as can, but also tries to take the turn as sharp as possible to keep Kitty from closing in, resulting in the D.O.O.M Mobile near flipping over on two wheels, as it careens down another narrow street. Kitty meanwhile slows down enough to keep from crashing herself, where she then gives chase again.
Once Snaptrap looks back and see her still trailing them, he quickly lets out a frustrated groan, muttering, "That persistent feline just won't give up! I'm getting sick of this!"
"Cool your jets, boss." Billy told him with a look of confidence on his face. "I'll get rid of her for ya."
"Oh yea, and how you going to do that?" the vile rat demanded.
To Snaptrap's surprise and horror, Billy grabs the Kruger Rat from a nearby seat, answering, "Simple, I'll just need to use a little bait is all..."
Snaptrap however becomes completely unglued by this response, shouting, "What are you, nuts? You can't use that thing! I need that artifact for my plan!"
"Relax, boss. I know what I'm doing." Billy assuered him. "Just sit tight and leave it to me."
Before Snaptrap could say another word to him, the white pigeon quickly flew to the back of the D.O.O.M mobile. He then looks Bad Dog in the eye, telling him, "I'll take care of this feline agent. You release the smokescreen as soon as I say the words, "You're too slow." Got it?"
Not surprisingly, Bad Dog is greatly perplexed by this plan of his, but concedes nonetheless, replying, "All right, but you better not mess this up." He soon added pointing a finger in his face, "The boss will have your head if you lose that artifact. "
Bad Dog quickly heads towards the middle compartment, where Billy soon whistles towards Kitty, now moments away from firing her M79 again. This causes her to momentarily look on puzzled, lowering her weapon.
"Hey, fish breath! Looking for this?" Billy shouted at her, holding up the artifact up high. "Well, if you want it, come and try to take it out of my wing. I know your jet shoes are fast enough to do the job."
Kitty however doesn't bite at his dare, retorting, "You think I'm gonna fall for that little ploy of yours?" Swiftly pointing her M79 at the D.O.O.M Mobile again, she adds with a fierce look on her face, "Guess again! I'm going to blast that vehicle of yours for good this time!"
To her surprise, Billy doesn't flinch at her threat one iota, saying with a shrug, "Fine, then I'll just fly away with it if you dare try to shoot at our buggy again."
Snaptrap inadventently hear this, making him shout in horror, "You'll what? Are you mad?"
"You won't be able to retrieve the Krueger Rat so easily if I do that." Billy explained smugly to the tan feline, completely ignoring his boss' protests. "So what's it going to be, agent? You want this artifact back or not? The choice is yours."
This time, Kitty unfortunately bites on his words, as she quickly puts away her M79 and pulls out a hookshot, soon shouting boldly, "Fine, you're on, bird. In fact, I'll show you just how easy I can snatch that thing out of your hands."
A split second later, Kitty fires it at the back of the buggy, latching it on their bumper.
"Wow, what impressive skills you have there, agent." Billy stated with dripping sarcasm. "I'm really shaking in my feathers now."
"I'll shut you up soon enough, punk!" the tan feline shot back.
And with that statement, Kitty pressed the button, where the hookshot soon quickly reels her in towards the Buggy.
Billy again kept his composure, inquiring with smug arrogance, "Is that the best you can do? Man, you are way too slow."
Bad Dog instantly reacts to those words in a heartbeat, pressing a button to release the smokescreen. Kitty during this time has closed to within three feet of the vehicle, but is soon overtaken by the massive smoke from the intake, causing her to heavily cough, even making her eyes sting.
By this point, Billy looked on with a completely full blown sneer, saying arorgantly, "Sucker… I knew you couldn't resist if I egged ya on enough." He then adds while cutting her hookshot rope, "Looks like you lose this round, agent."
Once the rope was cut, Billy closed the doors of the D.O.O.M Mobile and headed back towards the middle. Another sharp turn meanwhile soon approaches, where Larry this time makes it at a safer speed after seeing the massive smokescreen from behind. The same could not be said for the tan feline. After their vehicle made the turn safely, the smoke soon dissapated, where Kitty now saw a new problem in front of her: A large building.
Kitty quickly screamed in shock at the sight of this, trying desperately to cut the jets on her shoes and again attempts to slam on the brakes and slow down. This time however, she would not be able to. Intsead, she abruptly trips over the nearby sidewalk and crashes hard into the building, smacking it face first with an abrupt thud.
Snaptrap again looked back and now saw Kitty was no longer trailing them, making the vile rat laugh with a hearty glee, "I don't believe it! Billy's plan actually worked!"
"Of course it did." Billy replied with a look of satisfaction, now back in the middle compartment. "As if there were any doubt..."
"Well, I'm going to see to it you get a big reward for your valiant efforts." Snaptrap told him proudly. "You really earned your keep today."
"I should certainly say so." The white pigeon retorted smugly. He then added after a brief pause, "Oh, by the way, having the smokescreen with a scent of honey mustard mixed in with the coal? A nice touch there if I do say so myself."
"I'm glad you like it." Snaptrap replied. "Since smokescreens are so handy for helping me evade annoying T.U.F.F Agents, they might as well have a good smell to them."
Meanwhile, back near the building, Agent Katswell soon slid down onto the sidewalk flat on her back, groaning heavily in pain while placing a hand on her forehead.
"I should have known that was a trap." She muttered to herself angrily. "I can't believe I let that stupid bird outsmart me easily back there. That is so not like me."
Kitty then stood up and attempted to reactivate her jet shoes again and try to track Snaptrap down a second time. Unfortunately though, they would not start, as they were too badly damaged from the collision, instead sputtering again and again.
After they sputtered for over twent seconds, Kitty shouted in disgust, "Drat! Just my luck…"
Moments later, Kitty's wrists communicator soon goes off, revealing it be none other than the Chief.
"Kitty, were you able to take down Snaptrap in your sting operation?" The Chief inquired.
The tan feline sighed heavily in response, telling him, "Sadly, no. He used a smokescreen on me after I got baited into a trap and paid dearly for it. I'm no longer able to give chase since the jets on my shoes are busted."
Surprisingly, the Chief was not as upset about this as Kitty was, saying, "I see… well, we'll deal with him and his men later. Right now, return to base. I've got another assignment for you at the moment."
"10-4, sir." Kitty answered, soon turning off her wrist communicator afterwards.
And with that, the tan feline walked back towards T.U.F.F with a slight limp. Kitty then muttered with a hiss while staggering back slowly, "That rat and bird of his are going to pay dearly for making a fool out of me. I swear it…"
