-Just another day-
-Megakat city, water treatment plant-
" Hey you, stop!" A guard yelled.
Dr. Viper was trying to pour some kind of mutantgent into the cleaned drinking water of Megakat city. He saw the guard running towards him. Dr. Viper released a hiss of irritation. The guard got closer and Dr.viper turned his attention to the annoyance. He whipped his long tail around and knocked out the foolish guard. He smiled to himself, pleased with the result of his action. Suddenly the vile of mutantgent was gone from his hand. Dr. Viper look behind him to see the SWAT Kats.
" If it'ss not one thing , it'ss another." He hissed out. " You meddlessome SssWAT Katss!"
" Dr. Viper, it's over." Razor said as a cable shot out of his glovatrix, and bound Dr. Viper.
Soon Dr. Viper was in the Enforcers custody. T-bone and Razor returned to their hanger. Razor was surprised with how smoothly that went. He locked the mutantgent away in a safe place.
" You know Razor, that went pretty smoothly. If only it could always be that easy." T-bone said as he undressed from his flight suit.
" Yeah, but I can't help but wonder what that gunk was." Razor said.
" Who knows." Chance said as he pulled his hat out of the locker.
He and Jake left the hanger. Jake ploped himself on the couch and turned on the news. Chance walked in and handed him a can of milk.
" Anything new in the city?" Chance asked as he joined Jake on the couch.
" Not yet, just the same old things. Traffic, weather, the news casters." Jake said in a mono tone voice.
Chance nodded as he drank from his milk. They sat there jumping between channels. They couldn't agree on what to watch. Jake gave up and went to train some while they had nothing better to do. He worked on his martial arts for a good hour. Suddenly Chance called him.
" Yo Jake, come look at this." Chance shouted.
Jake walked into the room. He leamed on the couch and looked at the tv. There was a reporter at the water tretment plant.
" It was earlier today that Dr. Viper had attempted to poison Megakat city's water supply. But the SWAT Kats put an end to this attempt immediately. Here is some security footage of the event." The reporter said, then the footage was aired.
" I'll bet Feral is fumming." Chance said with a smile.
" Yeah, when we get credit for saving the city without causing damage, it really burns him up more then when we brake a building or something." Jake said.
" I hope he doesn't have any thing to say about it this time." Chance said, suddenly the picture jumps back to the studio.
" This just in from Megakat city park. There seems to be a suicidal, cloaked kat who's a danger to others more than himself as he has taken shot's at innocent by standers. The Enforcers have attempted to calm the crazed kat but to no avail. The kat is armed with a powerful hand gun and seem's unfazed knowing there are Enforcers with rifles near by. The rifles are loaded with beanbag bullets to stun the crazed kat. But he has been shot by two beanbag bullets all ready with no sign of backing down. The Enforcers have had no effect on the kat." The reporter said." We've just recieved word that the crazed Kat has taken a child hostage. The child was hiding in the play ground at the park, where the crazed kat discovered him. The kat has yet to give any demands. The Enforcers fear any attemp to save the child will result in tragedy. We have a reporter on scene with live footage of the event."
The image of a cloaked kat holding a gun to the childs head came on the screen. Jake and Chance were shocked to see this. Jake turned to Chance with an urgent look in his eye's.
" We have to do something Chance." Jake said.
" You're right Jake, but what. If we show up as the SWAT Kats then we would cause more trouble for that kid. And as ourselves, we're useless in such a situation." Chance said.
" What about the stealth suits I've been working on. Sure they still need to be tested, but if they work we can save that kid from that nut job." Jake said.
" Alright, we'll try it." Chance said then they rushed to the hanger. They changed into the experimental stealth suits but still wore their SWAT Kat flight suits underneath. Then they both climbed onto the Cyclatron and raced to Megakat city park. They stopped down the street so they weren't seen or heard. They snuck up close to the cloacked kat, with only a short distance between them. It was decided that Razor would grab the kid while T-bone would try to over power the kat and take the gun. They would have to move quickly, because once in the open the stealth suits would be less effective as in the shadows. Razor and T-bone were in position, waiting for the right moment. Then their chance came when the crazed kat pointed the gun at an Enforcer who had tried to get close. Razor moved first, grabbing the small child and running to the safty of the Enforcers, while T-bone over powered the confused kat, making him drop his weapon. Razor handed the child over to the Enforcers and raced back to help T-bone. The hood of the cloak fell, revealing the identity of the crazed kat. It was Mac, of the metallickats. He had a wicked look in his eye's.
" I've been expecting you SWAT Kats." He said, pulling out another gun.
Razor reached him in time to grab his arm that held the gun. Razor attempted to force him to drop the gun, but his strength wasn't enough. T-bone was pushed back by Mac, who then threw Razor against a near by tree. He fired several shots at Razor who rolled out of the way. He returned his attention to T-bone, who had tried to grab his second gun from him. Mac grabbed T-bones arm and threw him towards the crowd of on-lookers. He raised his gun to fire at T-bone. He knew T-bone woulndn't run with all those innocent kats behind him. Razor leaped in front of Mac as he fired a few shots at T-bone. This surprised everyone, including Mac. Razor took a few shots to his chest as he threw a small device onto Mac's chest. It fried Macs circuits and the robotic kat fell to the ground as it's systems failed. T-bone raced to Razor, catching him as he began to fall. There was blood coming from the wounds in his chest.
" Razor, you nut. Why did you do that?" T-bone said, holding his partner.
" I couldn't let you or any one else get hurt buddy. Besides, the wounds are pretty shallow. The stealth suit slowed the shots . I just need to patch them up." Razor said with a smile on his face.
" The shots sure took a lot out of you." Tbone said as he hoisted Razor into his arms and began to run towards the cyclatron.
He raced Razor back to the hanger and got a closer look at Razor's wounds. They were indeed shallow. But they were bleeding badly. T-bone patched Razor up then the two changed into their normal clothes. Jake slumped onto the couch and watched as the news report continued on the incident that just happened.
" For the second time today the SWAT Kats have come through and saved the day. For those of you just joining us, Mac of the metallickats, had taken a small child hostage after creating a scene just moments ago in Megakat city park. The SWAT Kats snuck up on Mac and saved the child. Then Mac tryed to kill the SWAT Kats, who escaped , but not unharmed. We are going live to the scene were the Lieutenant is giving her oppinion on the situation." The reporter said, then Felina poped on screne as she was interviewed.
" Lieutenant what are your thoughts of what just happened?" The reporter asked.
" I feel the SWAT Kats took a big risk today. But so did we. The SWAT Kats saved the life of an innocent child and many by standers. They deserve the Thanks of Megakat city." Felina said. Suddenly Feral appeared.
" This may be so. But I believe it to be their fault in the first place." Commander Feral said.
" How so Commander?" The reporter asked.
" They were the ones the matallic menuce was trying to draw out in the first place I can only hope the damage that he has done to the Swat Kats will keep them out of our hair for a while." Feral said.
" Yes, about that. It was Razor of the SWAT Kats who stepped into the line of fire correct. Why do you think he did that?" The reporter asked both Felina and Feral.
" Well I believe he was trying to protect every one. The SWAT Kats have tried to protect everyone they can. They may cause some damage, but they never let any innocent kats get hurt." Felina said. Feral remainded silent for that one. Suddenly the child and his mother, who were being escorted by an Enforcer, appeared on screen.
" Miss, do you have any thing to say after today?" The reporter asked her.
" I would just like to say Thank You to the SWAT Kats for saving my little Joseph. I hope they're watching. And I hope Razor recovers from his injuries." The young woman said.
" Do you have any thing to say Joseph?" The reporter asked the small boy who was hugging his mothers neck.
" Thank You Razor for saving me." The boy whispered then tucked his face away into his mother's neck.
" What am I, tossed tuna." Chance said in a sarcastic tone. He looked over a Jake who was smiling at the screen. Chance playfully hit Jake's shoulder.
" What is it Chance?" Jake asked.
" Nothing. Your happy the kid's alright, huh?" Chance said.
" Yeah, even though it's just another day of what we do. It's another day the kats of Megakat city have to live. Even if the peace we bring only lasts until tomorrow, we are here to make sure that the peace will return for all the kats." Jake said.
" Yeah, that's true." Chance said as he yawned and stretched. " It's been a long day pal. Let's turn in."
Chance pulled Jake to his feet and the two walked to their rooms. Chance and Jake muttered a quick good night before they both turned to their rooms for the night. Jake looked out the window into the night sky. The stars seemed brighter that night. He wished he had someone to share his feelings with other than Chance. Someone he could love and be loved by. But as long as the SWAT Kats were needed that didn't seem possibile. Jake layed down and closed his eye's. He let his mind drift as he fell asleep.
