T.U.F.F. Puppy
Chapter 1: Kitty Crush
Note: This is the first of my 21 different stories. I do not own any of these shows, games, movies, or books.
The Chief went on the intercom. He said, "All agents report to the boardroom I have an important announcement." After everyone was gathered in the boardroom, Dudley Puppy said, "What is Bird Brain back?" Chief replied, "No Agent Puppy he's still locked up in Petropolis Jail. The fact is we have a new agent. Everyone say hello to Agent Cheetah. Agent Cheetah you can come on out now." Out of the corner footsteps were heard. The figure that appeared was of a cheetah with a deep cut mark over the left eye, wearing a blue shirt and black pants. He walked up to Chief's left and said, "It is nice to meet you all. Chief you probably have more important stuff to do than stay around here." Chief nods in agreement and leaves the room. Kitty looks up at the new agent and falls in love with him. Dudley jabs Kitty a couple times in her arm until he gets her attention. Kitty says, "What do you want Dudley?" Dudley replies, "I say that this guy is the Chameleon." Kitty nods in agreement then says, "We need a way to prove if he is the Chameleon or not." Charlie butts by saying, "Excuse me you two can I start yet?" Dudley and Kitty nod silently. Charlie continues by saying, "My full name is Charlie Cheetah. I met up with Chief while he was having trouble with his car. I helped him out. He said that he owed me one. I asked if he knew any of the members of T.U.F.F. since I wanted to join. When he said that he was the Chief of T.U.F.F., I was surprised. He said that he wouldn't let me join immediately, but he said he would give me a chance to show my metal. I proved myself worthy. Chief told me that I was the second most skilled member of T.U.F.F. only behind someone named Agent Kattswell. To be honest I was surprised I was used to being the best at everything. But I looked on the bright side as Agent Kattswell could become a great mentor for me. I am exhausted from talking and since this is my first day here can someone please get me something to drink?" Dudley gets up takes a dollar from Charlie and heads toward the vending machine. Dudley grabs a soda then shakes it up and walks back over to the board room. Dudley pretends to trip and falls on the ground the soda cap pops off and Charlie gets sprayed by a blast of grape soda. Charlie angrily picks the soda bottle of the ground, throws it in the trash can, and then marches off out of the board room. After he is gone Dudley elbows Kitty to wake her up. Kitty asks, "How did it go?" Dudley replies, "I've got good news and I've got bad new. The good news is he's not the Chameleon…" Kitty sighs in relief. "The bad news is it looks like he is going to quit during his first day." Meanwhile, Charlie is drying himself off with a towel. He then calls Chief on his wrist-com. Charlie says angrily, "Not to be rude or anything, Chief but this is my worst first day at a new job. I see no reason to stay here. One of your agents got me sprayed by a grape soda when he pretended to slip and fall." Chief replies, "Which one of my agents did that?" Charlie replies, "It is the white dog wearing no pants." Chief says, "He will come here to apologize if he wants to keep his job." While Charlie was on the wrist-com, the Chameleon was outside of the window. He circles around and then says to himself, "Perfect. I get to destroy T.U.F.F. and get away with it. Now what do I do about the real new agent… oh yeah I will just destroy him like… OOHH Ladybug." Dudley is on the way to the Cafeteria when he gets a message from the Chief on his wrist-com. Chief asks, "Where are you going Agent Puppy?" Dudley replies, "I am heading to the cafeteria, it is spaghetti day." Chief says, "NO! You are going to the bathroom to apologize to Agent Cheetah before he leaves the organization." Dudley grunts then turns around to head to the bathroom. Charlie is about to leave the bathroom when Dudley enters it. Charlie jumps back before angrily saying, "If you guys didn't want me here all you had to do was say so." Dudley replies, "Sorry Charlie I just thought you were the Chameleon." Charlie goes to his wrist-com and contacts Chief. Charlie asks, "Hey Chief is there anything about this one guy known as the Chameleon that I should know about." Chief answers, "The Chameleon wears a suit that allows him to transform him into anyone or anything." Charlie says, "Thanks Chief" then he ends the communication. Charlie takes a minute to calm down before he says, "Okay I will give T.U.F.F. one more chance." Dudley smiles and then says, "How about this I will give you my lunch for a week to make up for it?" Charlie declines and they walk out of the bathroom.
The next day, Charlie comes in a pretty good mood. Kitty usually hides out of Charlie's sight when he comes by, but then she reappears when he leaves. When Dudley comes by, Kitty pulls him into her office. Kitty says, "Dudley, it's time you repaid the favor you owe from when Fifi was here." Dudley says, "Kitty, Fifi was the Chameleon, Charlie isn't." Kitty replies, "It doesn't matter. You got to tell him how I feel about him since I can't." Dudley nods then leaves. Dudley eventually comes across Charlie. Dudley says, "Hey Charlie can I talk to you for a small while in the bathroom?" Charlie nods. When they are in the bathroom Dudley says, "My partner is in love with you Charlie." Charlie shrugs his shoulders. Dudley says, "Doesn't that creep you out at all Charlie?" Charlie replies, "To be honest, it doesn't creep me out but it is surprising since it seems like she never notices me." Dudley replies, "Oh it is the exact opposite." After a while, Charlie's wrist-com beeps. Charlie answers it. It is Keswick. He says, "Agent Charlie I need to sp…sp…speak with you in the weapons room." Charlie nods. Charlie says to Dudley, "Sorry but I got to go." Charlie is on his way to the weapons room when he comes across Keswick. Charlie asks, "I thought you wanted to see me in the weapons room." Keswick answers, "I thought it would be quicker if I talked to you here." Charlie looks on Keswick's' arms for a wrist-com but doesn't find one. Charlie says, "You're not Keswick, you're the Chameleon." Keswick transforms into the Chameleon who says, "You are going to take a quick nap while I assume your position." Charlie bares his claws then says, "I don't think so." Chameleon shoots his tongue at Charlie who jumps up. The Chameleon retracts his tongue then swings it in the air, hitting Charlie who was still in the air. Charlie hits his head on the supply closet door, which knocks him out. The Chameleon opens the supply closet door and throws Charlie's body in. The Chameleon then transforms into Charlie and heads off to the snack room.
Half an hour later, Charlie wakes up with a splitting headache and sees he is in the supply closet. He tries opening the door but it is locked, he then begins to bang his hands off of the door. Meanwhile, the Chameleon disguised as Charlie is about to press the self-destruct button when he sees Kitty in front of it. Kitty says, "Charlie, you know my feelings for you since of Dudley." Chameleon says, "No he never told me anything about your feelings for me." Kitty then says, "Stay here while I get Dudley" then she runs off. Chameleon presses the self-destruct button before he runs off. While Chameleon is running, Keswick hears Charlie banging on the supply closet door and opens it. Keswick says, "Where have you been I n…n…needed to talk to you in the weapons room?" Charlie answers, "We have more important matters to deal with at this time. Can you lead me to the Chief's room so I can send out a message throughout the building. Keswick complies, when they get to the Chief's office, Charlie tells Chief the situation, and Chief allows Charlie to use the intercom for the HQ. Charlie turns on the intercom then speaks with a clear voice saying, "This is Agent Charlie Cheetah, the Chameleon has infiltrated the base and has assumed my identity." At that time Chameleon is still running when he bumps into Kitty and Dudley. Then they hear the message. Charlie then changes back into the Chameleon. Kitty says, "Dudley get Charlie here while I hold off the Chameleon." Dudley calls Charlie and shortly afterwards they hear footsteps running to their location. Kitty knocks Chameleon back, and then Charlie jumps right into a fight with the Chameleon.
The fight is shrouded by a huge dust cloud. When the dust settles, there are two Charlies that are in a deadlock with each other. Kitty and Dudley are confused about which one is real. The Charlie on the left says, "Go, as T.U.F.F. agents it is our natural duty that the loss of lives and skills is kept to a minimum. If I have to hold him off so you two can escape, then so be it." The Charlie on the right sys, "No stay here if I couldn't defeat the Chameleon by myself earlier, I doubt that I can right now." Dudley gets an idea, he later says, "I will go get another bottle of pop." Both Charlies turn their heads toward Dudley, the one on the left says, "Don't you remember what happened last time Dudley?" The one on the right says, "Yeah, don't you remember when I yelled at you for that last time Dudley?" Dudley grins then says, "Kitty fire at the one on the right." Kitty gets out her laser and fires on the right one. The Charlie on the right hits the wall and changes back into the Chameleon. Charlie says, "How did … huff, huff… you … huff… know that I … huff… was the … huff, huff, huff… real one… huff, huff…?" Dudley says, "You never yelled at me." Kitty says, "Is there anything we can do to help you?" Charlie replies, "Just a grappling and the two of you to leave the building before it blows." Kitty tosses Charlie a grappling hook and then she and Dudley run toward the emergency exit. The Chameleon rushes to the emergency exit. Charlie jumps in the way and kicks the Chameleon, sending him back. Charlie gets on the wrist-com while the Chameleon is recovering from the kick. Charlie says, "Chief can you let me know if anything happens regarding the bomb?" Chief shakes his head in agreement over the wrist-com. Charlie and the Chameleon exchange blows for two minutes and both look pretty badly bruised. Charlie's wrist-com comes on with a message from Chief. Chief says, "Agent Cheetah the bomb has gone hay wire and the timer is now at only 20 seconds." Charlie stunned by the announcement says, "What?" Outside of the building all the agents were anxiously waiting for Charlie to get out of the building before it blows up, with Kitty being the most anxious one. The bottom floor blows up and the explosion rises up the floors. The agents watch as the Chameleon gets sent backed to prison, but no sign of Charlie is seen. After an hour, the agents search the debris of HQ, but all they find are the pieces of his wrist-com. Later that day HQ is rebuilt then Chief gets on the intercom and says, "Agents, a new wing will be made in HQ and it will be named after the deceased Agent Cheetah. All T.U.F.F. members are required to attend and show their respect for the Agent who gave his life for the safety of the city." Keswick made a coffin, but by the time it was finished it was half-full of Keswick's tears. The coffin is taken to the new wing, emptied out, and the wrist-com parts are put in. All the members cried, none harder than Kitty, since the person she loved was dead. Dudley came over and put his hand on Kitty's shoulder. Kitty tried to smile, but she couldn't help frowning. What the agents didn't know was that a figure entered the building through the front door. It headed toward the agents' offices. It approached one office in particular, laid down in the chair, and went to sleep. After the funeral was finished, the agents noticed a strange smell, they headed to the source. The person was pushed a bit, it fell on the floor, Keswick came over and said, "It is Charlie, his breathing is faint but noticeable." Kitty instantly cheered up a good bit. Charlie was taken to the hospital wing in T.U.F.F.
One week later, Charlie began to wake up. Kitty noticed him beginning to open his eyes. She called in the rest of the members. Charlie struggled to get up. He said while he laid in a hospital bed, "Uhhhh… where am I?" Kitty replied, "You are in the T.U.F.F. hospital wing." Charlie still struggling to sit up in the bed said, "EHhhhhh… how long was I out?" Kitty answers that question by saying, "One week, we discovered you sleeping in your chair. You had second degree burns on half your body and you had a bad bruise on the back of your head." Charlie decided to give up on trying sitting up on the bed. He asked to Kitty directly, "How long have you been here Kitty?" Kitty replied blushing a bit, "I have been here for the entire time." Charlie says, "Wait, but what about the city?" Chief came in and said, "I gave her the week off. On that note, Agent Kattswell you are going to have to make up that work by pulling double duty for a week. I thought that you would have learned better after what happened with Agent Puppy and Fifi." Dudley answered, "Chife… ply to cou stink I blended do grip bland debt dim bet." Chief says, "Agent Puppy, get that Chew Toy out of your mouth and speak clearly." Dudley took the chew toy out of his mouth, took a couple licks of it, then said, "Chief why do you think that I pretended to trip and get him wet." Chief says, "Oh, that's why you did that. Is there anything that I can do to make up for you missing out on Spaghetti day. For example, I could pay for your lunch for a month." Dudley thought about saying that, but he looked over at Kitty who gave him a slight smile. Dudley sighed then says, "Chief can you make Charlie a member of Kitty and my unit." Chief replied, "How did I know that you were going to say that. Fine, Agent Cheetah will be a new member to your team … as soon as he is fully healed." Kitty smiles when she hears the response.
Day 1 of Charlie's recovery. The hospital unit decides to deal with the mysterious smell Charlie has. This has to be done first since, he will fight back if it is done later and the unit will no longer have to wear H.A.Z.M.A.T. suits when they are in a confined room with him.
Days 2 through 6 of Charlie's recovery just deal with healing up the bruises after dealing with the burns he has only on the back part of his body.
After another week, Charlie is fully healed and ready to get up. He gets up out of bed, grabs his clothing, and heads to the shower to get changed out of his hospital outfit. After he gets out of the shower, he notices that Kitty is asleep on the chair. Charlie leaves his room and walks toward Chief's room. Charlie says, "Hey, Chief can you tell me where Kitty lives, she is asleep, and I feel that she deserves a rest at her house." Chief tells Charlie where Kitty lives. Charlie salutes Chief then heads back to his hospital room. After he is in, he picks up Kitty and heads toward the T.U.F.F. mobile. Charlie sets Kitty in the passenger's seat and buckles her seatbelt. Charlie gets in the driver's seat and ignites the engine. Charlie drives to Kitty's house, every now and then Kitty would stir in her seat but she would fall asleep again. Nearing Kitty's house, Charlie unexpectedly hits a road bump, Charlie mistakes it for an enemy attempting an attack. Charlie turns the auto-driver on and takes a quick look around. Charlie turns auto-drive off and he resumes driving. Meanwhile the road bump wakes Kitty up. She looks over and sees Charlie driving.
The T.U.F.F. mobile arrives and Kitty's house. Charlie looks over and sees that Kitty is awake. He says, "Hey there, you're home." Charlie gets out of the car and opens the door for Kitty. Kitty unbuckles her seatbelt and gets up. Kitty then kisses Charlie on the lips. Charlie blushes a bit, but then he closes his eyes. After they are done kissing, Charlie says, "Hey Kitty, do you know a place where a can stay for the night until I find somewhere to live. My dad is a villain and he doesn't want a hero living in his house even if it is his own son." Kitty replies, "You can sleep on the couch in my living room until you find somewhere."
The next day Kitty and Charlie come in holding hands. Charlie turns his new wrist-com on and sends a message to Chief. Chief says, "All agents report to the boardroom. Agent Cheetah will be describing the day we all thought he had died." After everyone was gathered in the boardroom, Charlie came up and says, "You guys are probably wondering what happened the day of the explosion well here it is. When Chief told me there was only 20 seconds left. I tried using the grappling hook to get out of the building, but it had gotten jammed. It took me 7 seconds to disassemble it. I then took off my wrist-com and began searching for a way to untie the knot that had formed in the gun. That took me another 5 seconds. I knew that I wasn't going to make it out at that rate, so I tossed my wrist-com on the ground. It took me 4 seconds to reach an open window. I looked down and saw that a sewer was uncovered in the back of HQ. It took me 3 seconds to jump over the wall of the window. When the building exploded, I was sent down the sewers extremely fast. I tried grabbing on the edge of the sewer hole. The explosion was too much for my arms. I was sent into continuous front flips I hit my head during one of those front flips on a sewer pipe. That same sewer pipe later on had burst with me under it. I was knocked out for an hour and a half. I climbed back up out the sewers and headed toward the building. I walked toward the office of the agents, headed toward my office and started sleeping. You guys know the rest."
