Chapter 1: A SWAT Kats Purge: Part 1
Razor was doing his normal scanning routine while T-Bone flew the Turbokat. "There's nothing over here T-Bone. Let's go to the next point." The SWAT Kats had gotten word of some mysterious light appearing near the city. The two vigilantes had been searching for two hours and came up empty.
"Roger that." T-Bone said. He easily maneuvered the jet around. Razor concentrated on his scanners and made sure he was searching the whole area. Again, there was nothing. Razor slammed his fists on the machines and accidentally fires a missile. The missile hits the wall of the canyon and caused a rockslide. T-Bone manages to avoid the boulders and regains control of the jet. "Take it easy buddy." Razor feels bad for being a little impatient and almost causing an accident.
"You could say 'curiosity almost killed the Kats.'" T-Bone didn't respond to Razor's bad pun.
It has almost been five long hours searching the perimeter of MegaKat City. "Hey Razor, let's call it a day. The jet's running low on fuel." T-Bone said. Jake agrees and they head for the hangar. Just then a bright green light appears causing T-Bone to fly straight in it. The TurboKat began to shake and shudder while their equipment was sparking like crazy. To the Kats, it felt like they were suddenly sucked in a worm hole. In no time, they were out of the light.
T-Bone was trying to get control of the Turbokat, but it was not responding and crash landed on a long floating rode like structure. T-Bone was waking up from the crash and looks around. It was dark and a lot of weird aircrafts flew by. He saw floating structures that resembled buildings, but couldn't make out of it. It's like a floating city. He could hear gun fire from all around him. When he got out of his seat, he sees Razor is already out and examining the jet. "Where are we?" T-Bone said removing his helmet to rub his head. He places his helmet next to the Turbokat with Razor's helmet.
"I don't know T-Bone, but if I have to guess, we're probably in some kind of war." Razor was more concentrated on trying to get the Turbokat to start working. A missile hits near their jet and the ground begins to break. "Crud," Razor and T-Bone started to run. They look back and saw the Turbokat fall to the lake bellow. "How are we supposed to get home now?" Jake said while trying to avoid obstacles in their path and the collapsing road behind.
T-Bone scans the area and sees a stack of boxes leading to the road above. "Over there!" They both quickly climb to the top and land safely on the still road. "That…was a…close one." Razor said trying to catch his breath.
"Tell me about it. We lost the Turbokat and now we are somewhere we don't even know." T-Bone said bitterly over the loss of their jet. Razor stands up and looks around. The lean tom begins to think that they're in some sort of science fiction movie because none of this is familiar to him. A train passes by. "Why would there be a running train in this mess?" He stares at it for a while and sees that a missile was launched out of the train and hits a strange aircraft. The train was suddenly stopped by a robot. Razor runs towards the direction of the train, "Come on T-Bone, there could be injured citizens in there!"
T-Bone reluctantly gets up and follows Razor. When the small tom finally reaches the train, Razor was awed by the size of the robot at the front of the train. "Run!" Razor looked around to see who said that. "I meant away!" A woman with light pink hair stood before the war robot and took out her sword. Then a man in a green coat slowly followed behind the woman and seems to be helping her "Hey, hey, hey! Let's be rational now!" the man said.
Razor runs next to the pink haired woman and the green coated man. With his glovatrix ready, he prepares to fend of the robot. "I may not know what's going on, but you guys look like you need help." Razor said.
The man pulls out his pistols. "They're sending in the big guns now. What do we do?"
"Watch and learn." The lean pink haired woman attacks by slashing the robot. The robot swings its saw riddled arms towards her, but Razor intercepts with a small missile from his glove. The Manasvin Warmech starts to advance. "Fall back." she ordered. All three run back and turn around. The man makes a smart remark. Then the warmech started to rev its engine.
He raised his pistols in panic "Hey, that wasn't like a challenge, now. All right?"
The warmech starts to pic up the train. The three run back even to the next train car. The pink hair woman and Razor saw the man running for his life. "Jump!" the woman said. He jumps and lands on his kneew. As the man got up the woman warns them, "Heads up."
"This thing just won't give up!" The man fires away with his pistols which seems like he was doing a weird dance.
The woman goes for another strike, but the robot opens up and fires lasers in their direction. All three of them were hit. To Razor's amazement, it didn't kill him. "Maybe its lasers were designed to weaken us?" Razor and the man attack simultaneously by gun fire and another mini missile. The robot stops moving and falls to the bottom of the lake. Razor and the man cheer.
The woman puts her sword in the case behind her. "Oh goodness. Whew! We did it!" the man said.
"Razor!" he looked around and saw T-Bone being carried away by soldiers. He tried to follow them, but he there is no possible way. Razor motions his hand to for his ear piece but remembered that he lost his helmet with the Turbokat. He turns back to the woman and the man, "We have to go help him!"
"That's not my problem." The woman said. She leaped off the train and walks down the road.
Razor's anger rose. He was going to let her have it until the man interrupted him. "Aren't you supposed to protect civilians, soldier?" She stops and looks back at him. "I mean you are Sanctum, aren't you? What are you doing trying to stop the Purge? Why don't you tell me that?"
"I was a soldier." She answered.
A tiny bird flies out of the man's afro; he says something to the bird and puts back in his head. Razor found that to be really strange, buts shakes his head. He followed them, 'I'm coming for you buddy. Just hang on.' The small worried tom thought.
Razor caught up with the man, "I didn't get to introduce myself. The names Razor and you are?"
"Call me Sazh, and that crazy girl over there is Lightning." He looks at Razor with a strange look. "How come you look like cat?"
Razor could tell him everything, but something tells him he won't understand it all. So he decides to make his explanation short. "I don't think I'm from your world. My partner and I flew into a strange green light and ended up here." Razor said. Sazh looked at him with an even stranger look. "In short, I'm saying I'm not from here."
"So, you are from another world and ended up here? What a bad place to land. You see, it just so happens that you landed on the process of a purge." Sazh said. Razor gave a look like he is asking what a purge is.
"A purge is another word for the Sanctum to kill anyone who they fear could be a Pulse L'Cie." Lightning said with a serious tone.
"What's a Pulse L'Cie?" Razor asks. He gets looks from both Lightning and Sazh.
"A Pulse L'Cie is an enemy of Cocoon. They are chosen by Pulse Fal'Cie to destroy Eden and bring down Cocoon." Sazh said. "Isn't that right Light?" She looks away from Sazh and runs on. "Hey, where do you think you're going girl?" Sazh said. She completely ignored him.
Razor follows and turns to Sazh, "Maybe it was something you said?" She motions for the two to stop. Razor wants to know what the threat could be.
"Rebels!" A soldier said.
"So much for the element of surprise." Sazh said. Lighting gracefully taking out her blade. The group of soldiers attacks the three. Lighting runs and spins slashing all of the soldiers. Razor shoots a net on the solders and pulse of electricity shocks them. The soldiers fell unconscious to the ground. "Not bad Kat. You're better then I thought." Razor has gotten his first complement from this uptight girl.
The three kept moving down the road, fighting off any PSICOM soldier in their way. The number of soldiers on this road was slim but it seemed that they could call 'reinforcements' through some kind of portal. Lighting, Razor, and Sazh watched as one of the soldiers placed in a code. The portal conjured a wolf like creature. "Domesticated Peacekeepers." Lightning said. "Nothing to worry about."
Just like that. The three managed to kill and defeat the soldiers and their new creature weapons. They make it the end of the road. Only it wasn't the end, it was broken, leaving a giant gap between the roads. Razor guessed the distance had to be at least three fourth of a mile across "Do we turn back?" Razor asked.
"There's no time." She hissed.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Sazh asked.
"Quiet!" Lightning stood at the edge and snapped her fingers. She enveloped herself in some kind of electric energy causing her to float.
"Hey!" Sazh grabs her around the waist. "Wait! No, no, don't leave me." Razor was a little offended that Sazh didn't want to be left alone with him.
"Let me go!" Lighting was getting annoyed. She forces herself free, but the flow of energy disappears. She tries again, but nothing happened.
"Hey, that might get us across! Right there!" Razor said. He looked around to find something useful. "Maybe this should do it." Everyone got on the platform and started it. In a minute they reached the bridge, but they were not alone.
There were two PSICOM Enforcers and a PSICOM Marauder. The Marauder walks up to the three, "Deportees, are we? Weapons down, I'd hate to for this to turn ugly." Razor and Lighting did nothing, but Sazh was a little nervous about what might happen. The Marauder held up his spear, "Times up!" He rushes towards Lightning and she barely dodges in time. She took out her blade and attacks the two lackeys. Razor and Sazh are keeping the Marauder busy by taunting him. Soon the PSICOM officer is surrounded. Sazh shoots at the Marauder and successfully hits him, Razor fights melee style and landed some really good kicks and punches. The PSICOM officer gets mad and begins to glow. Lightning quickly changes her sword to a gun and fires away. She downs the Marauder.
Sazh walks to a control panel and starts the bridge to move to the other side. "So soldier, what's your angle?" Sazh asked. She remains silent. "What, is it classified military info? What does it matter? You quit, didn't you? You think I'm gonna go out there and just tell everybody your secret?"
"The Pulse fal'Cie." Lightning said. Sazh gives her a look as if was saying 'What?' "My 'angle.' I'm after the fal'Cie." She walks to the control panal and finishes the codes for Sazh. "Still happy you tagged along?"
"Didn't have a choice." Sazh said to himself. The bridge starts to move.
Razor can't stop thinking about T-Bone. He thinks if he is hurt or maybe PSICOM has killed him already. He takes those thought out of his mind and moves on, hoping he will find him.
This is Chapter one of the series I am going to create between Final Fantasy 13 and the SWAT Kats. I do not own rights to any of the character and original story. This story will pretty much cover most of the Final Fantasy 13 game, so spoiler for those who haven't played it. I hope this version of the story goes well. Enjoy.
