Swat Kats Hollow Arc Chapter 6
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters they belong to Hanna Barbara.
The next morning Chance got up earlier than normal and went down to the kitchen with a large smile on his face. He hummed happily as he rummaged through the cupboards and pulled out everything he needed to make breakfast. Jake and Tony came down just as Chance finished making a hearty breakfast of flapjacks, bacon, eggs, and toast.
"Morning you two about time you got up." Chance said cheerfully.
"Wow you are up early Chance." Jake commented as he sat down at the table.
"Well I could not sleep anymore so I thought I would come down and makes some breakfast." Chance said putting the pancakes onto the table then rummaged around and made a makeshift high chair for Tony. "Do you know if dad is awake?"
"I don't think he came back last night, or if he did I must have fallen asleep before he came in. I would not be surprise if the first is true though after what happened last night." Jake said digging his fork into one of the pancakes.
"Oh yeah I forgot about that, wonder if they found anything yet about his killer." Chance commented as he sat down and began eating.
"What is a killer?" Tony asked.
"Uh it a well it is a." Chance stuttered.
"It is someone who hurts people kind of like the Omega's we fight." Jake pitched in.
"Yeah like Dark Kat, the Metallakats, Hard Drive they are killers." Chance said which was true all the villains had actually killed several kats during their attacks and taking innocent lives in the process.
"Hey Chance maybe we should head to your dads office after breakfast to check up on him." Jake said
"Yeah but what about Tony we cannot just leave him here without any supervision. He might go into the workshop and hurt himself." Chance said.
"Well we will take him with us, he did mention that he wanted to fly in the Turbokat." Jake said.
"Ok but only after we bring it into the front yard just so mom and dad do not have to have a cow about Tony being around dangerous equipment." Chance said shoveling a large amount of food into his mouth. After breakfast was finished and cleaned up Chance and Jake went into the workshop and brought the Turbokat into the front yard. Several minutes later they were in the air and heading towards the Enforcer building.
"Wow I cannot believe that I am flying on the Turbokat." Tony said excitedly.
"Yeah you will not believe what this baby has gotten us through." T-bone said patting the conrol panel in front of him.
"Hey guys look who is coming up on the left." Razor said.
"Well good morning Felina I mean Lt. Feral what are you doing here this fine morning." T-bone asked.
"Swat Kats finally I thought that I would never find you guys. Uncle wanted me to give you the latest report on the Dark Kat murder. Felina said.
"What did they find Lieutenant and what happened to Steele I thought he was suppose to be brought back to the salvage yard." T-bone said.
"The little weasel managed to find a way to skip town and escape so now we have to waist even more time trying to find him. Anyway uncle is looking for you guys so you better head over to the Enforcer headquarters." Felina said.
"Right we are there." T-bone said putting the throttle to full. They managed to arrive at the building several minutes later and were surprised to find Commander Feral there waiting for them with an exhausted look on his face. "Hey dad looks like you had a long night."
"You can say that again, I have been working on the Dark Kat murder all night, but before we go on where is Tony?" Feral asked.
"Daddy daddy daddy." Tony shouted running over to Feral who bent down and picked up the little kitten. "Guess what I got to fly with Chance in the Turbokat and we got to fly over the city."
"Aww well that was nice of him, but I thought you said that your base was filled with dangerous equipment." Feral said raising one of his eyebrows.
"That is why we brought the jet to the front yard. There is not more point in hiding that we are the Swat Kats now that the whole city knows who we are. Besides, the little guy was nearly bouncing off the walls when he heard that we were taking the Turbokat." Jake replied with a chuckle.
"That seems fair enough, now I will have one of my men drive Tony to school. WE need to talk in my office boys because the forensic team dug up something you might want to see." Feral said grabbing his radio. "This is Commander Feral calling Lt. Felina Feral do you read?"
"Lt. Feral here what do you need uncle?" Felina's voice responded.
"You are not going to like this but I need you to drop Tony off at school. That is a direct order." Feral replied.
"Not a problem where is the little tyke?" Felina laughed.
"He will be in the play room when you get here and make sure to contact me before you go." Feral said.
"Already here uncle," Felina said as a large blue and white chopper flew in and landed onto the landing pad. Felina got out of the passenger side and walked over giving Commander Feral a salute.
"Tony go with your cousin and she will take you to school." Feral said.
"But daddy I want to stay here with Chance and Jake." Tony whimpered.
"Chance and Jake have work to do right now, and you need to go to school. Besides if you stay with them you might get hurt." Felina said taking Tony by the hand.
"Alright I will go." Tony said disappointedly and followed Felina into the building.
"So dad did the forensic team find anything?" T-bone asked.
"Yes come with me, I think you will find this interesting." Feral said leading them into the building. They went down two flight of stairs and though a hallway until they reached Feral's large spacious office. Feral picked up a file and handed it to them "alright here are the results the Forensic team gave me this morning notice anything odd?"
"Yeah it looks like Dark Kat was already dead when they dropped him yesterday." Jake observed.
'exactly, someone plunged a kind of broadsword through his chest and killed the slime before dropping him from the sky. They are having to put his body back together right now and trying to identify what was caused by the murder weapon and what was caused by the fall. Whoever this was he wanted to make sure it was difficult for us to find out the what and how of Dark Kats murder." Commander Feral snorted angrily.
"Commander Feral," A voice said over the radio.
"What is it captain Stone?" Feral barked.
"We just found the body of Dr. Viper hanging from the main flag pole in the middle of main street." The voice said, " and he is being burned alive."
"Burned alive come on Jake lets go." Chance shouted but before they could even reach the door the sickening crunch of bones came thought the radio.
"Strike that last staitment sir he just fell off the pole and hit the ground. After a fall like that I doubt that he is still alive." The voice said.
"extinguish the flames on the body and bring it over to the forensic team for analysis." Feral said with a sigh.
"Man that is two Omega's I know no one liked them but I doubt that someone would go to this extreme to get rid of them." T-bone said walking back into the room and sitting on the chair.
"I wonder if this has anything to do with Todd Furlong. If he is a hollow then he would be able to perform these kinds of murders and not leave any physical trace of the deed. Plus he would be able to get a free meal out of it." Jake said pulling out a cell phone looking device and opening.
"I repeat this is Captain Aaron Toshiro we are in persuit of an arrancar on Main Street we need back up,." Someone called.
"Aaron this is Captain Jake Clawson I am on my way. All members of squad 7 join the persuit." Razor said then pulled out of the candy dispenser and poping a green pill into his mouth. "T-bone stay here and watch my body, let us handle this."
"Kats alive." Feral shouted followed by several choice curse words. "What is going on Clawson I demand to know?"
"No time to explain, Chance fill him in if you can." Jake said jumping out the window and landing in midair
"Good luck buddy." T-bone called as Jake took off towards mainstreet.
X-X
(Jake's P.O.V)
"Good luck buddy." Jake heard Chance shout as he took off towards Main Street.
"Thanks buddy I am going to need all the luck I can get." Jake muttered as he leaped again in midair. It did not take him long to get to Main Street thanks to the strategic set up of the Enforcer buildings. Right as he got there a kat with black fur, white skirt and a large hole in the middle of his chest had come rushing past him. "That's him roar and strike Ryuujin.
"No you don't shingami." The arrancar roared as his blade smashed into Jakes.
"Too late, you arrancar scum." Jake said putting a paw onto his blade. He pushed his blade forward and a wave of electricity shot from the blade and sent the arrancar flying into a nearby brick wall.
"Do not act like you have won yet shingami, you do not know what you are dealing with." The arrancar said dispelling the dust around him with a swipe of his hand. "I am one of the most powerful and beautiful espada that have ever live. Espada number 9 Jenna Calhoun, no lower level shingami can defeat me. You are still light years away from even facing me."
"Jenna Allen huh I have heard of you. You are the supposed 9th espada that is known for being a cross dresser just like his father Charlotte." Jake said.
"You heard right, to bad for you I am stronger than him in every way. Like I said you are still lightyears away from being able to fight with me on even terms." Jenna replied with a male version of a giggle. "Now why don't you be a good little boy and run along or better yet die!"
"You are wrong about that Jenna." Jake said extending his arm and catching Jenna's blade. "You see I am a captain of the thirteen guard squad. And your power is nothing compared to that of your fathers."
"How dare you…" Jenna started but before he could say anything else Jake slashed him across the chest. "No it cannot be no one can slash my beautiful body this is unforgiveable."
"You want to talk about unforgivable, what about that kat you just murdered? Do you really think that he deserved the cruel fate you gave him?" Jake growled.
"That hideous monster deserved what he got, after all he was a hideous monster. He was dark green and black of all things. Those two colors clashed so badly it was not funny, not to mention he was all covered in scales and he looked like some sort of lizard monster." Jenna replied with a shutter.
"That is no reason to kill someone, not even someone like Dr. Viper. He may have been an omega but even he deserved better then what you did. At least when we give someone the death penalty we at least give them a fair trial." Jake said seriously.
"Well that is your opinion isn't it? In my court anyone who is ugly is automatically guilty and being ugly is punishable by death." Jenna replied.
"That is harsh and unfair you do not know anything about the justice system." Jake growled grasping his sword hilt.
"That is too bad for you apparently someone as hideous as you cannot understand true beauty such as mine." Jenna laughed flipping his hair.
"Well they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Jake replied launching himself at Jenna who only was able to raise his sword in time to block. He grinned evilly and grab Jakes arms . "What the…"
"Jenna's gorgeous, beautiful, magnificent, wonderful, " Jenna shouted a giant eight prong missle cut him off and pinned the Arancar against another building.
"Thanks for that guys I thought I was going to be a smear." Jake said into his communicator.
"No problem buddy now cuffs him so we can bring him in for questioning." T-bone replied
"Captain Clawson." A voice shouted and several more shingami 's appeared with their zampakto's drawn. "You got her lets finish this!"
"No, we will bring him in for questioning. He may have information we will need like who he is working for Rusty." Jake replied and sheathed his zanpakto.
"What are you crazy?" Another shingami shouted angrily.
"No he is right guys we need to know who this guy is working for and why he killed viper. I do not know how your system works in the soul society but here we at least bring them in for questioning. Like it or not that is how things work here in the real world." T-bone said.
"Who is this identify yourself." Rusty said.
"This is T-bone of the Swat Kats." T-bone replied.
"And this is Commander Ulysses S Feral head of the Enforcers and I order you to stand down at once." Commander Feral's voice echoed thought the communicator.
"We do not take orders from humans like you." Rusty sneered.
"But you do take orders from me lieutenant." Another gravelly voice joined in. "This is the Ninth Commander ordering you to stand down immediately and hand over the arrancar to the Enforcers. This involves both of us. Now captain Clawson patch me in to the Commander of the Enforcers."
"Yes sir." Jake said and with a quick adjustment connected the radio frequency to the Turbokats
"Feral," Commander Feral said.
"Commander Feral this is Ninth Commander Robert Highlander of the thirteen guard squad." Ninth Commander Robert said.
"Ninth Commander I urge you to hand over whatever that thing is and let us question him." Feral said.
"I plan to but only if you let some of my men stay with you for the interrogation. We both need whatever he his hiding and it is a chance for our two worlds to work together. Do you accept these terms?" The Ninth Commander asked.
"Of course but how will I know who these kats are?" Feral asked.
"They will identify themselves immediately with their name rank and what squad they are in." Ninth Commander Roberts said.
"Good and I wish request that Captain Clawson be there as well." Feral replied
"Of course," Ninth Commander replied. "But make sure to confiscate his sword before you take the Arrancar in."
"Already done Ninth Commander," Jake said flash stepping over to the Arancar and pulled his sword out of his belt. Jake took one look at the pink scabbard that sheathed the sword and snorted angrily.
"Something wrong Jake?" T-bone asked.
"Yeah this scabbard the arrancar is using. It is hot pink of all things." Jake replied. T-bone laughed over the radio and brought the jet close enough for Jake to bind and load Jenna into the jets cargo bay.
"Dude what is with this guy?" T-bone said resisting the urge to laugh even harder.
"I will explain once we get back." Jake said hoping into the cargo bay where his gigi was laying. Jake managed to get back in as the jet landed on top of the Enforcers headquarters. The cargo bay opened and Jake grabbed Jenna and forced her down the plank. Felina and several Enforcers there resisted the urge to laugh as they helped T-bone and Razor escort Jenna into one of the interrogation room.
"Man what is with that guy?" One of the Enforcers laughed as they closed the door and locked it.
"I know he is really messed up. I cannot tell if he is a guy or a girl with that outfit on " Felina said with a shiver. "Not to mention I think he was trying to flirt with me on the way down to the interrogation room."
"He didn't." Chance growled.
"He did." Jake said
"That is it I am going to rough him up for that?" T-bone growled and started to head towards the interrogation room again. However a strong paw grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back. T-bone turned and saw it belonged to Commander Feral who wore a look that was even hard for him.
"No don't Chance, I know you would like to see you beat the living daylights out of this scum. We need him alive however we will keep the option of you beating him just in case he will not talk." Said Commander Feral said.
"Awesome I would not miss it for the world." T-bone said with a grin
