Hey there, this is my first fan-fic on the net. The first chapter took me 3 hours to write. This might be a little bit detailed; I hope you wouldn't mind about that. Note: I do not own the SWAT Kats, which Hanna-Barbara, or the main characters Chance Furlong (T-Bone), Jake Clawson (Razor in this story) that also own by the company. There are a few OC in this story that are mine, which are Professor Whitclaw and Tessa. Anyways have fun reading this first chapter, and constructive criticism is allowed so I can at least improve on my writing.
Chapter 1: Morning Routines
June 1, 1998
MegaKat City Salvage Yard
5: 55 AM
A big burly tom was sleeping peacefully on his bed. The tom was smiling as he was thinking of dirty thoughts and dreams of a she-kat with blond hair and green eyes. Those thoughts and dreams were then disrupted and disappeared as he hears his alarm going off on his bedside table.
His smile changed to a scowl as he looked at it with one eye and stares at it with the same look he gives to his enemies. The burly tom raised his left fist in the air, and came down on the clock hard, and it was smashed into little pieces, thus stopping the ringing noise.
The burly tom tried to get a few more minutes of sleep, but the alarm woke him up completely and he cannot get back to sleep easily, so he got up yawned and stretched his big burly arms in the air, showing his yellow fur with brown strips around it.
He then left the bed and went to the bathroom. He decided to have nice hot shower first, so he stripped his pajamas off and put them in the laundry basket, and went into the shower stall and closing the curtain behind him.
After 15 minutes in the shower the tom got out of the stall feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. After he brushed his teeth, he went back to his room and picked white socks and a white long sleeved T-shirt from his drawer. He then went to his closet to get a pair of blue jeans and a blue short-sleeved jacket bearing a nametag, which said Chance Furlong.
After Chance was fully dressed, he left his room and went to Jakes room. The door was closed at his room so Chance knocked on the door and saying, "Hey, Jake rise and shine little buddy, it's a big busy day, I don't want to be repair shop doing all the work."
With that Chance left and went downstairs to get some breakfast, not knowing that Jake was still sleeping and also completely ignored the walk up call from Chance, as he grunted and continuing his sleep…
Meanwhile in The Karin Kat Apartment Building
6:00 AM
A tomkat was sleeping peacefully on a bed when suddenly an alarm clock went off next beside small dresser of his. He put a pillow over his head so he can block out that nerve raking noise and also get a few more minutes of shut-eye. When he considered defeat, he hit the alarm clock which grew silent once more. Then the tom sits up his bed and stretched his arms out revealing his brown fur with black strips and scratched his back afterwards.
He then moved off the bed and walked towards the bathroom. He stopped a few feet from bathroom to look through his apartment window of a beautiful view of the sunset at Megakat City. He then continued to the bathroom. After a great shower to fully wake him up, he grabbed towel from the rack and wrapped it around his private parts. He got off the shower and brushed his teeth.
He got out from the bathroom with a towel still wrapped around him and went to the kitchen and turn on the coffee machine. While the machine was brewing the coffee he went to the living room and turned on the T.V.
The channel showed Ann Gorra from Kat's Eye News. "…At 9:00 pm a press conference will be held in Megakat City Hall. It will be a project from the Enforcer Research Center of a new type of engine that will be beneficial technology for both MASA and Puma-Dyne facilities. We will be their with live coverage showing of the new engine with the Enforcer Scientist and Engineer Professor Whitclaw (Showing the picture of a brown and black tabby) who is the youngest researcher in the facility, and creator of the engine. In other news…"
The brown tom smiled as heard it. Today was his big day on revealing his greatest project to all the famous kats and scientist's that are now eager to seeing the engine he created. With a spring in his step he went to his closet and grabbed his red polka dot boxers, a light blue collared shirt, an aqua blue and green tie, and his jeans he usually wore.
When his finished clothing himself he went back to the kitchen and pour himself a mug of black coffee and added crème and sugar to it. After he watched some T.V. and finished drinking his entire mug of coffee he looked at time on his living room clock and said 6:45.
"Better get moving," speaking to himself as he put away his mug on the kitchen counter and grabbed his keys and sun glasses on his dresser. He also grabbed his battered suitcase on the kitchen table and his dark brown leather jacket from his coat rack. He closed the door behind him and headed downstairs. His apartment was on the 19th floor of the 20-story building. He didn't mind this a bit, at least he get some exercise.
He went to the front desk and said, "Morning Mr. Klayton!!"
"Morning to you as well," said the middle age black tom as he turned around and greeted Mr. Whitclaw with a wave. "You look surprisingly happy too, I saw the morning news and heard your name in it."
"Thanks for the comment," Mr. Whitclaw with a joyful voice.
"I am very excited today," said Mr. Whitclaw continuing to talk with a huge smile on his face, "All my time to making this will be worth it."
"Don't smile too much or else your face would freeze like that," said Klayton with a grin on his face.
"I'll try to," said Whitclaw trying to ease his happiness, but can't.
Mr. Klayton turned around and grabbed a few letters and said, "I have a few letters from your parents and a letter from the Scientist Committee."
"Really?" said Whitclaw. He took these letters and said, "I'll read them after work, since I will be very busy on finishing a few modifications on my project and the conference speech I need to prepare for this evening."
"You will be very tight then, always the busy kat," said Mr. Klayton with a chuckle. "Oh, also I got a call from the Dry Cleaners that your suit is ready as well."
"I'll pick it up once I get there," said Whitclaw.
He looked at the time at his watch and said, "Its 7 o'clock. Gotta go or else I will be late."
"You better get going then," said Mr. Klayton.
"Well you have a good day and also see me in television at the evening news," Mr. Whitclaw said.
"Good Luck with the conference then," Mr. Klayton said with a smile as well.
With a wave Mr. Whitclaw turned and headed to the front doors of the lobby.
When he was about to push the front doors he heard the encouraging shout from Mr. Klayton saying, "Go get them tiger."
Whitclaw turned around and said, "Will do, and see ya later," as he pushed the door.
He went to the parking lot to his vehicle, which was a white Ford Econoline E150, but with a few modifications on it, it looks like it had merged with a Humvee vehicle. He uses not only for transportation but also holding some inventions and equipment in it since he practically had no room from his lab.
He started the vehicle and went to the main road since his apartment building is close to the road that leads to downtown.
Mr. Whitclaw went to pick up his suit at the Dry Cleaners first.
"Here you go, here's your suit," said the manager giving him his black suit wrapped in plastic. "Oh, I saw you in television, congratulations Mr. Whitclaw."
"Thanks, and see ya," Whitclaw said and waved the manager good-bye and left.
He drove the rest of the way to Enforcer Research Center. When he got there he there he went to the security checkpoint. He gave his employee ID and number to toll booth tomcat, and was allowed access as usual. He then went to the private under ground parking lot, in which he has to swipe his employee key card and has a retina scan on him to let him go in.
He parked his vehicle and got out of his vehicle with a suitcase in his hand. He went to the elevators and pressed the first floor since this elevator only goes to 1st floor and basement.
He got out of the elevator and greeted the she-kat receptionist the usual saying, "Good morning Tessa, and how are you doing?"
"Hey there Professor Whitclaw, you got here at exactly at 8:00 as always, and good morning to you too," she said with a smile on her face.
She was a bit younger than him with black hair and green eyes. Both of them get along each other well, and started being friends for quite sometime. "I'm busy as usual, and I got a call from the Deputy Mayor Briggs saying she wants to meet with you in your office at ten, along with the Mayor Manx himself."
"Whoa, so the Mayors of Megakat City are interested in my project as well, man I would feel a little bit nervous meeting them," said Professor Whitclaw.
"Don't be, they will be just talking about the new engine of yours and talking about the conference that will be held," Tessa said in reassured voice.
"Well I better start writing a speech for my conference then," said Professor Whitclaw, "And thank you for comforting me, I am mostly shy around the "Big Kats."
"Don't be, and don't be such a scardy kat as well," said Tessa.
"I'll try too," said Professor Whitclaw, "Anyway I must go to my office and start writing that speech then. Have good-day Tessa," and went to the elevators.
"You too, and good luck," said Tessa.
With that Professor Whitclaw smiled back at her and went into the vacated elevator. When he was at his lab he thought, "Probably I'll look at the engine first for a few modifications it will need, then I will start writing my speech after that."
With that he taken of his jacket and put on his lab coat, and set aside his briefcase and keys on the desk filled piles of paper. He headed towards the project lying on his metal workbench. Then when he started to work he thought, "Nothing will ruin my perfect day…"
Same time in Dark Kats lair...
Dark Kat was sitting on his throne, and has just finished watching Kat's Eye News report from a floating monitor screen in his chamber room.
Then Dark Kat think to himself, "This new engine would be beneficial to me, if I can steal it I can make use of this engine on my ship, then my ship would be a lot more powerful and faster than the SWAT Kats puny jet." With that thought he smiled.
Then Dark Kat barked in a commanding voice, "My Creeplings, my ninja's." With that a group of creeplings ran and squabbled into the chamber towards him, and black ninja's jumped out from nowhere in front of him and bowed to their master.
"Have the Doomsday Express ready for departure, well will pay little visit to Enforcer Research Center," said Dark Kat.
With those orders the creeplings left the chamber and heading towards the hanger bay, and the ninja's bowed lower and stand up and followed the creeplings as well.
"We will soon meet each other Professor Whitclaw," said Dark Kat. He then got up from his throne and left the chamber.
