The Enforcers arrived at the Clawson mansion within minutes, including Commander Feral and his son, Hector. The crime scene investigators were surveying the crime scene in the mansion to collect evidence and interview Tommy.

"After I locked the doors downstairs and set up the coffee for today, I went back upstairs to my bedroom and I was asleep during the whole incident when my sister was kidnapped. I didn't hear a struggle going on in her bedroom and had nothing to do with it, Commander," Tommy said as he was being interviewed by Commander Feral and Felina.

"Now, if you had nothing to do with the kidnapping of your sister and Jake's fiancé, do you have any idea who or what would want to kidnap your sister?" Felina asked.

Then, the house phone began to ring as it was close to a picture of Jake and Callie together as a couple along with Chance in the photo. "Help! Everyone's getting ki—" Callie called but the connection was cut off.

"Callie?!" Tommy screamed.

("The House of the Dead Intro Theme" by Tetsuya Kawauchi)

The TV in the living room where Commander Feral, Felina, Tommy and Hector were in along with other televisions throughout the city and the jail where Jake and Chance were in turned on as the Pastmaster was broadcasting a message to the city with Callie being restrained. "People of Megakat City, I am the Pastmaster. Soon to be your new ruler, but I offer a challenge especially to the SWAT Kats as a special request. Whoever can survive in my house of the dead and make it to me, I'll give myself up." he said, but he crossed his fingers behind his back. Tommy always learned that villains never keep their promises in the end and he knew that the Pastmaster was lying. "But if you fail to make it through, your deputy mayor will be my bride."

"I believe we've found out who would want to kidnap Callie," Felina said.

Tommy, on instinct, grabs Hector by the shoulder and drags him upstairs to the study room, locks the door and closes the blinds. "We can't remain in hiding forever, Hector. Jake, Chance, and especially Callie need our help."

"Yeah, well, Megakat City and especially my father and his Enforcers will just have to go on without us whether they like it or not. And my father seems to be handling it just fine," Hector said coldly.

Tommy could not believe what Hector was saying. "The longer it takes for you to forgive your father, the longer your pain will last. Because, just like your father, you will never know peace until you learn to let go of your anger and hate towards your father."

"I don't hate my father. I love him and it's just I want him to do better," Hector said. "I—I need to think about this."

Hector unlocks the door to the study room, but not without some words from Tommy. "Hey. You take that stroll down Washout Lane, you're only proving one thing, Hector," Tommy began.

"What's that, Tommy?" Hector asked.

Tommy comes up to his face and says, "That you don't have what it takes to be a true hero. Because not every superhero and super villain has powers, you know. You can be super without them." Tommy proceeds to his room as Hector begins walking out of the mansion and on his way to the Sacred Heart Cathedral.

("Uncharted 4 Soundtrack – Nate's Theme 4.0" by Henry Jackman)

When Hector arrived at the cathedral, he dipped his fingers in holy water, makes the sign of the cross and kneels to Jesus, sat down in one of stalls and said, "Almighty Father, please, hear me out and answer my prayer. My best friend's sister is being held captive by the Pastmaster in the house of the dead, my father's stressed out from the people of Megakat City, that deadbeat mayor, Manx, doesn't know what he's doing when he should've done a long time ago, and my other best friends, Jake and Chance, need mine and Tommy's help. What should I do?"

At that moment, a Doberman wearing a black trench coat, bullet proof vest, black boots, sunglasses, shotgun, two pistols and a silver double-edged sword entered in the church. "I'd say you should bust your teammates out of jail and help your friends to save Callie," he said.

"Who are you?" Hector asked.

"My name is Zodiac, but I'm known to family and friends as Walter Wilson. I was born half dog, half vampire. They call me "The Day Walker." I have all their strengths, none of their weaknesses. Except for the thirst," Zodiac said.

"How were you born a vampire?"

"My mother was attacked by a vampire while she was pregnant with me."

"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Anyway, what are you doing here? This place is holy ground."

"It doesn't work on me and let's just say that I'm the answer to your prayer. Open up your Holy Bible and read Joshua Chapter 1 for need of courage."

Hector opened up the Bible to the section of The Divine Promise of Assistance. "After Moses, the servant of the LORD, had died, the LORD said to Moses' aide Joshua, son of Nun: Moses my servant is dead. So now, you and the whole people with you, prepare to cross the Jordan to the land that I will give the Israelites. Every place where you set foot, I have given you, as I promised Moses. All the land of the Hittites, from the wilderness and the Lebanon east to the great river Euphrates and west to the Great Sea, will be your territory. No one can withstand you as long as you live. As I was with Moses, I will be with you: I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and steadfast, so that you may give this people possession of the land I swore to their ancestors that I would give them. Only be strong and steadfast, being careful to observe the entire law which Moses my servant enjoined on you. Do not swerve from it either to the right or to the left, that you may succeed wherever you go. Do not let this book of the law depart from your lips. Recite it by day and by night, that you may carefully observe all that is written in it: then you will attain your goal; then you will succeed. I command you: be strong and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD, your God, is with you wherever you go." Hector closed the Bible and looked at Zodiac. "Okay, Zodiac. I shall help my friends, but I need a plan."

"I have one, of course," he smiled as he leads Hector outside to his black 2020 Jeep Gladiator with specialized UV lights on top along with a heavy tech machine gun with silver nitrate and garlic bullets.

"Nice ride!"

"I've spent quite a lot of time adding major modifications to my ride while studying the zombies, monsters, traps and other vampires at the Pastmaster's house of the dead."

Zodiac and Hector got into the pickup truck as they were driving to Alkatraz prison to bust Jake and Chance out.

("Spider-Man 1 Game Soundtrack (2002) – Subway" by Michael McCuistion)

At Alkatraz prison, Jake and Chance were in the prison yard playing cards as they were keeping their guard up for any prisoners ready to attack them. Little did everyone know that Zodiac and Sabre arrived at the prison in stealth mode and were going through the ventilation system while avoiding guards and searchlights.

Once inside, Zodiac took out a prison guard and hid his body in a locker. Sabre overrode the surveillance system and causing it to crash. "We own video," Sabre said.

"Good job, kid," Zodiac said as he took out many guards with his martial arts skills as Sabre got Jake's and Chance's SWAT Kat uniforms, gadgets and weapons back.

Prison alarms wailed as Zodiac and Sabre took out many prison guards as they were standing in their way from free Jake and Chance. "Stay out of our way! You guys are wasting our time and we'll take down anyone and anything who gets in our way!" Sabre said as he pushed and overthrew the guards with his super strength. They made their way to the prison yard as they spotted Jake and Chance.

"Jake! Chance! We're going to bust you out of here!" Sabre called.

"About time you arrived, Sabre," Chance called.

"Who's that with you?" Jake asked.

"This is Zodiac. He's helping me bust you all out," Hector said as he noticed somebody he knows is also coming. "Hold those thoughts, guys, I got to take care of something."

Commander Feral and his Enforcers arrived at the prison to see Sabre and Zodiac busting Jake and Chance out of the prison.

"It appears that not everyone feels this case is resolved," Zodiac said.

"Zodiac, you know the US won't overlook this treason," Commander Feral ordered.

"Treason?!" Jake angrily growled.

"You have disobeyed my orders deliberately directed from me to keep the SWAT Kats in jail before trial and being an accomplice to the SWAT Kat, Sabre. You're breaking Jake and Chance, AKA Razor and T-Bone, fully knowing what they will do. You and the other SWAT Kats will take responsibility and come with us."

"Yes, I'm no fool, Commander. I realized what the consequences will be, but this is God's plan and the REAL heroes of Megakat City are the SWAT Kats and they are the only ones to save Callie and the city," Zodiac objected.

Sabre, who felt his blood boil over, removed his mask to reveal himself as Hector and shouted, "You stupid dumbasses!"

Commander Feral was in complete shock to see that his own son is a member of the SWAT Kats as are his troops, including James and Felina.

"Brace yourselves," one Enforcer said.

"Think you can hide behind your uniforms and push decent people like Jake and Chance around? Look, I don't start fights with the defenseless and my father, but you're starting to piss me off and that's a whole different thing. And, since you're all new here, I'll give you a tip. Threating the guys who helped and will help Callie and Megakat City will definitely piss me off," Hector lectured to Commander Feral and his troops. "Jake Clawson and Chance Furlong, also known to you and Megakat City now Razor and T-Bone, did what they could to help and stop Dark Kat. And if getting rid of you is what it takes to protect them, I'll kill you all one by one."

Commander Feral, the Enforcers and prison guards were now shaking in fear as they saw Hector's power level going up the charts and energy was emitting off of his body. "But I'm not going to do that. It's not the power that counts, it's what you do with it. And as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Jake and Chance use their power and skills as the SWAT Kats to protect everyone in Megakat City in acts of selflessness and don't ask for anything in return," Hector finished.

James stepped in to defend his nephew and said, "We face a threat big enough to overthrow the government of Megakat City and still we bicker about a mask or a uniform. Hector's best friend is preparing to save his sister right now. He would've given his life for this city and country, and I could hardly look him in the eye. America was founded on the notion that a person should be free to follow his or her destiny. But we can't do that if we're living in fear and hate of our own government. We need to reclaim this city for free men and women everywhere."

"What about your brother and government friends?" Chance asked.

"That's a fair question," Ulysses admitted. "Hector and my brother are right. The persecution and paranoia have to stop. From here on, we work together as free Americans."

"As General of the Enforcers, I hereby ordered the SWAT Kats free from prison and exonerated of any charges they're accused of and to be freed once and for all," James ordered.

Jake and Chance were very glad that James and Hector had their backs for them and they put on their costumes. "Thanks for taking our side, Hector," Razor said as he patted Hector on his right shoulder with his left hand.

"Hey, what are best friends for, right?" Hector replied.

Then, Commander Feral approached Hector and said, "Hector, I'm sorry that I had the SWAT Kats unjustly imprisoned and not hear them out first. I didn't want hurt you. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?"

"Yes, dad. I forgive you," Hector smiled as he hugged his father and Commander hugged him back. "And dad it's not the mask, uniform or badge that counts. It's the heart behind them."

"Hey, if you two are done making up, we got to pick up Tommy," Zodiac said as he getting his pickup truck.

"Right behind you," Hector said as he put on his mask and helmet back on and got in.

Back at the mansion, Tommy pulled out a suitcase from his bed, unlocked it and pulled out his SWAT Kat costume. He once again put on his costume to rescue his sister from the Pastmaster and fight crime as he put his Ninja sword on his back.

"Me and my friends are coming for you, Callie. And this time, no one and nothing will stand in our way," Shadow said as he put his mask on.

Then, he heard a car horn honking from outside. He peeked through the blinds and saw that Sabre was waiting outside with Zodiac in his pickup truck. Shadow ran out of the mansion and got in as they drove off to the house of the dead.

("I Against I" by Massive Attack and Mos Def)

"I was afraid that you weren't going to make it," Sabre said.

"Hey, at least that you had the right mind set to wear your Sabre outfit and make peace with Commander Feral. Who's the driver?" Shadow asked.

"That's Zodiac. I met him while I was praying and he showed up. He was born half dog and half vampire."

"Hey, Zodiac, aren't you like a vampire hunter or something? Is there something we should know about Pastmaster's house of the dead?" Shadow asked Zodiac.

Zodiac looked up at his car's rear view mirror and said to Shadow, "Yes, the Pastmaster's hideout also has vampires not just zombies and monsters."

"Should we use a crucifix and holy water?" Sabre asked.

"Ok, Vampire Anatomy 101. Crosses and holy water don't do any good so forget what you see in the movies. You use a stake, silver, fire or sunlight. You two know how to use these?" Zodiac said as he gave Shadow and Sabre Mac-10 submachine guns, Desert Eagle handguns, M4A1 assault rifles with suppressors, night and day vision sights, M203 grenade launchers and laser designators and specialized UV flashlights.

"Yes, we're highly trained by the SWAT Kats and learn gun safety from both Commander Feral and the Boy Scouts of America," Sabre said as he and Shadow have their weapons ready.

"The safety's off in all weapons, rounds already chambered—silver hollow point filled with garlic and fire. You aim for the head or the heart. Anything else is your butt, got it?"

"Yes, sir," Shadow and Sabre said.

At a military camp in the woods, the SWAT Kats, Enforcers and US Army Alpha Protection Rangers, or APR, were laying out a plan to find and rescue Callie. Captain Martin Wolf and 1st Lieutenant Charles Johnson were debriefing the team at the presentation. "The house of the dead is heavily guarded with zombies and other mutants. Beside Deputy Mayor Callie Briggs being held captive, we've also learned from Zodiac that there are other scientists being held hostage too. They were somehow kidnapped by the Pastmaster to create zombies for a whole scale world domination and terror. According to Zodiac too, they are vulnerable to silver, garlic and fire," Martin said.

"That's why our weapons are equipped with silver bullets along with UV lights," Charles said.

"We shall split the APRs into two teams. One with me being the leading officer, Johnson with the other leading team to cover more ground of the house. The SWAT Kats will go through the front door with me and Johnson's team. The Enforcers will scout in the sewers for any hostages being held."

"Good luck, gentlemen, and may the Force be with you," Charles said as he dismisses them.

Back at the Pastmaster's hideout, Callie wakes up to find herself in a large bed, wearing a very revealing scarlet red nightgown that emphasizes her goddess body with her lacy red bra and underwear garments. Roses and candles fill the room with a pleasant smell, Callie thought this was just a dream and she's back home waiting for her beloved Jake to make love with her, but instead the Pastmaster shows up as he opened and closed the door to his bedroom.

"Well, look at you, my lovely goddess. It's true what they say, you can get away with scarlet," the Pastmaster smiled as he laid eyes on Callie.

"What do you want, you perverted little troll?!" Callie angrily growled as she tried to break free from her restraints.

"I want you to be my bride, make love with me and marry me. If you become my bride, you will rule the city by my side, have power, money and all the treasures I can share with you."

"NEVER! I'm not marrying you. The only true love I love with all my heart, body and soul is my Jake Clawson. From what I heard, Zodiac and Sabre freed Jake and Chance. They, the Enforcers along with the elite Army Alpha Protection Rangers are on their way to save me," Callie defied.

The Pastmaster frowned upon hearing this, so he tries one last thing. "I know that I can't make you pregnant, so I will allow your beloved Jake to do it for me. That way, I can have a son, and it would be the one you would love," he offered.

Callie could not believe what she was hearing! "That's a fool's bargain! People mean nothing to you, especially Jake. I know that you will poison my and Jake's child's mind with evil and hate as it will grow older. The real lover of mine, Jake Clawson, would never corrupt our children with evil and hatred. In fact, we would raise them with love, goodness and protection from evil. So, never! Jake's my real lover and soulmate. And I love him with all my heart, body and soul. Not you!" Callie screamed.

Then, a notification was heard from one of the computers. "Warning. We have a report of an unknown vehicle driving up towards this location along with the Turbokat entering this airspace. There's also a report of hostages breaking out of their cells."

"Stay right there, my little flower. I have some guests to entertain," the Pastmaster smiled as he left.

Once Callie knew that the Pastmaster left, she unlocked her restraints, switched back into her clothes and escapes through the front window. Outside, she saw the Turbokat landing in the front courtyard as she makes her way to the exit. Another scientist was screaming as he was trying to get away from a zombie that was approaching him. "Oh no!" he screamed

Zodiac, Shadow and Sabre arrived at the house of the dead along with the Enforcers and Army. They exited their vehicles and cocked their weapons ready.

"Glad to see us now?" Shadow asked.

"Just like old times, huh?" Razor asked as he rubbed his fist on Shadow's head.

("Bad Company" by Five Finger Death Punch)

The zombie mortally wounded the scientist as there were other bodies of scientists lying dead on the ground. Before the zombie could attack one of them, Razor and T-Bone fired their guns at the undead zombie in the head, killing him instantly. They approached the scientist who was on the verge of death and said his final words, "Others are still inside. Save them."

Zodiac took the photo of other scientists from the dead scientist's hand and made note to rescue other hostages being held captive. Soon, the team were being surround by undead zombies.

"Fire at will!" Commander Feral ordered as he and his Enforcers fired at the zombies.

Shadow and Sabre, along with Razor and T-Bone ran when they heard two hostages being attacked by two zombies. Before the zombies would kill the hostages, Shadow and Sabre annihilated them with their Mac-10s and the zombies burst into flames.

"They're inside. Help them," the hostage said as he and his colleague ran for the exit.

Razor, T-Bone, Shadow and Sabre ran across the courtyard towards the fountain as they killed many zombies and monsters in their way.

"Callie!?" Razor called as he saw her lying in front of the fountain. He runs to her as he killed winged monsters that were guarding her.

"Jake, it's you!" Callie said as she ran to her lover, but she was caught by a bat-like creature called Hangedman.

"Nobody leaves here alive!" the Hangedman said as he flew away with Callie in his grasp.

"Callie!" Razor screamed as he ran for her.

"Quick! After them!" Shadow said as he and his teammates, along with Martin, Charles and their teams. They took out several more zombies and monsters while rescuing hostages before they were killed. Zodiac engaged in a fight with two axe-wielding zombies with his sword and took them out as they reached the big house.

Martin and his team went down to the sewers along with Commander Feral and his Enforcers, while Charles and his team went with the SWAT Kats at the front door.

"Let's go in!" T-Bone said as he stood by the door.

"Sure. Why not?" Razor said as he shot at the front door and kicked it down.

The team went inside of the house and were attacked by two mutant monkeys as they jumped onto the chandelier, causing it to loosen and fall down.

"Watch out!" Sabre screamed as he and the other teammates got out of the way. Zodiac and Sabre took out the monkeys with their weapons as the teams start to split up throughout the house. One of Charles' men tripped a trip wire and a big explosion took out most of the teammates. Some were even attacked and killed by the zombies or little mutants. Charles got split off from some of his surviving troops in the library and he runs into a very attractive vixen named Siren.

"Well, this is so unexpecting. I wasn't expecting any company until I was going to get my next meal, but you seem to be just fine," Siren said as she found herself attracted to the handsome, brave German Shepherd soldier.

"Who are you?" Charles asked.

"I'm Kayla, but I'm also Siren who is a vampire. Is it alright with you if I drink some of your blood? It's just that I only want you because it is love at first sight," Siren asked. She was always told to ask permission before taking someone's blood.

"Heh, heh, sure. Be my guest," Charles said as he gives his blood to her freely. Siren took a bite on Charles' neck. She noted how sweet and warm his blood is to her.

She tongue kisses Charles with his own tongue and kissed his lips and said, "Thank you. Your blood is so rich. You sure know how to show a girl a good time."

"Anytime, Siren," Charles said as he covered the holes in his neck with his scarf and proceeds to leave with Siren to find Martin.

Down in the sewers of the house, Martin and his team were fighting off more zombies when they went into a room and Martin steps in a trap and it pins his leg to the wall. The doors begin to seal shut and the water begins to fill with water.

"The water's rising too fast! If we don't find a way out of here soon, we'll all drown!" Martin shouted as he tried to free himself. Martin tried to struggle himself free but the trap was too tight for him to break free. Then, he found himself freed by Kayla and Charles who came as the room was being filled up. Kayla also found herself attracted to Martin as well as she, Martin and Charles helped the other teammates out of the room.

"About time you showed up, Charles. Who's that with you?" Martin asked.

"This is Kayla. I found her in the library when I got separated by my squad," Charles introduced Kayla to Martin.

Kayla walked up to Martin as she was just a few inches from his face. "Don't worry about my leg. It's fine."

"Oh, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about you two, and especially you, Martin," Kayla said as she examined his leg. Now, Kayla is really puzzled on who she should end up with as she's better of a lover than a fighter when it comes to attractive, handsome men.

In one of the hallways, Razor and T-Bone were fighting off more zombies when they heard a voice calling for help.

"Help!" it called.

"That voice!" Razor said as he recognized it was Callie's. She was being held in that room close to where they were. They ran for the room, but two zombies came out ready to kill them but Razor and T-Bone took them out.

Razor opened the door to see Callie lying on the floor. "Callie. Are you okay?" Razor asked as he helped her up.

"I was so scared!" Callie said.

But then, the glass window above them broke as a highly armored enemy with an axe landed in front of them and pushed Callie aside.

"Heads up, guys! That's Chariot. I looked up on this enemy and the weak points in his design. Aim for the holes in his armor, especially his right chest plate," Shadow said on his commlink.

"Thanks for help, Shadow," Razor said as he and T-Bone fought Chariot with their assault rifles. They fired at the weak point in the armor while dodging the axe. After many shots were fired, Chariot broke out of his armor to reveal a really big zombie underneath. Razor and T-Bone continued to open fire until Chariot was down.

"All teams, be advised. Chariot's down. Over," T-Bone said on his commlink.

"This is Captain Wolf. Good call, T-Bone. Chariot's down. Over," Martin said as Kayla and Charles were tending to his leg.

"Callie!" Razor said as he rushed to her side.

Callie looked into Jake's eyes as Jake removed his mask, touched his face with her soft right hand and said, "You must stop the Pastmaster. Or else, something terrible will happen."

Callie was then vanished Razor's embrace by some magical energy as Jake called for her, "Callie…" Jake sat alone and stood where Callie was. "Callie, I'm so sorry. I should've been there for you to keep you safe. And now, you're gone and it's all my fault.

Zodiac, T-Bone, Shadow and Sabre approached Jake as Tommy removed his mask.

"You're being too hard on yourself, Jake. There's no way you could've known that this going to happen to her. It wasn't your fault. She's still alive and being held somewhere in this mansion. Let's go find and rescue other hostages."

"But what about, Callie?" Jake asked.

"We can't help her here," Zodiac said as he helped Jake up.
