On a Saturday morning, Tommy woke up to see that his and Callie's parents visited his sister's apartment. "Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?"
"We came to see how Callie is doing. Did you know what time she came home and have you seen Jake? His motorcycle is parked outside and he's not in the guess bedroom," Martha said.
"No, I was in a deep sleep and I was busy with my science homework," Tommy said.
"Let's check to see her bedroom," Jonathan said. He, Martha, and Tommy walked across the hall to stop at Callie's bedroom door which was across where Tommy's spare bedroom was.
"Callie, dear. Are you in there?" Jonathan asked but there was no response as he knocked on the door.
"She might need a wake-up call, honey," Martha said as she opened the door. It was pitch black dark where no one can see their own hand. Mrs. Briggs went to Callie's window and opened the blinds to let the sun in. But when she opened the blinds, she, Jonathan and Tommy were absolutely shocked to see Callie and Jake to be in bed and in their underwear!
"What in the name of God is going on here!" Jonathan shouted in rage that woke up Jake and Callie.
"Sister?" Tommy asked in confusion.
"Mom, Dad, Tommy? This isn't what it looks like at all!" Callie pleaded as Jonathan marched over to the bed and grabbed Jake by the tail. He opened the window and hung Jake outside by the tail.
"Tell me you didn't have pre-marital sex with my daughter!" Jonathan screamed.
"Hey, stop it! We did not have sex last night. We were just making out and confessing our love for each other! That's all!" Jake shouted.
"You speak lies!"
"Father, stop it! Tommy, do something!" Callie pleaded her brother.
"I'm on it, sis," Tommy said as he pulled a tranquilizer dart gun, aimed it at his father's neck and fired.
"Tell me the whole truth or I'll… Ah!" Jonathan started feeling dizzy as he was about to let go of Jake's tail but both were saved by Tommy and Callie from ever falling out of the apartment window. Hector and Carter showed up to stop the fight as well as they were putting restraints on Jonathan. All that Jonathan can do as look at the others as he starts to go to sleep.
"Sorry, Dad. You left me and Callie no choice," Tommy said.
30 minutes later…
Jonathan started to open his eyes as his mind started feeling groggy. He tried to move but he was restrained into the guest bedroom with restraints.
"But must we keep him restrained?" Martha asked.
"He tried to kill Jake, Mom. He's dangerous to himself and others, especially Jake," Callie said.
"Dangerous? Try totally flipped out and going insane!" Tommy said.
"Hey! What's going on? I demand to know what's happening here!" Jonathan shouted. Tommy, Callie, Jake, Hector, Martha and Carter entered in the room. Again, Jonathan started going crazy at the sight of Jake. "You! Wait until I get my hands on you, I'll…!"
"Hey, behave! Violent behavior will not be tolerated," Carter said as he pointed his right fist at him with magical energy with Hector holding him down when Jonathan immediately obeyed Carter.
"Nor will a bad attitude, not in my apartment," Callie said.
"Callie, I don't understand. Is this really this necessary?"
"I'm sorry, Dad, but it is because you tried to hurt and possibly kill Jake. We did not have sex last night in case you did not listen earlier which you never did."
"To back that up. If they did, me and Mom would've smelt the pheromones by now and we didn't. So, there is her and Jake's proof," Tommy said in Callie's and Jake's defense.
"I'm so sorry, Callie, for losing my temper," Jonathan pleaded.
"Say that to Jake, Father. Unless you apologize to him, I'm not even going to let you come to the dinner party at city hall. Plus, you can forget about being the grandfather of my children for being so ugly towards Jake if you don't apologize to him," Callie said.
Jonathan thought about what his daughter said and he knew deep in his heart that she was right. He should apologize to Jake. Jonathan looked at Jake and said to him, "I'm sorry, Jake for trying to hurt you. I was only protecting Callie and I only wanted what was best for Callie."
"Yeah, well, those who say that don't always have their loved one's interests at heart. I heard this lame excuse before," Hector said.
"Hector!" Tommy shouted at his friend.
"No, no, he's right, Tommy. But I can see now, Callie already has it. Jake, Callie, will you accept my sincerest apologies and my blessing?"
"Yes, we will, Mr. Briggs," Jake said.
"Thank you, Dad," Callie said.
"Can I be unrestrained now?"
"You promise not to hurt Jake?" Carter asked him.
"Yes, I promise," Jonathan said as Carter and Hector undid his restraints.
"So, who wants breakfast?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, I haven't had breakfast this morning from that stunt," Carter said.
"I'll help prep," Callie said.
Meanwhile at the other side of Megakat City…
Kayla and Martin were at the park jogging to see who can keep up with the leader. "You're really good at this, Martin," Kayla said.
"Thanks. I would say the same thing to you, gorgeous," Martin flirted causing Kayla to blush.
"Oh, shut up and try to keep up with me," Kayla playfully teased him as she ran past him.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
"Only if you can catch me!" Martin and Kayla laughed as they enjoy competing with each other. They ran for 5 more minutes until they had to stop at a park bench and rehydrate with water. Martin pulled out a photo of a younger wolf that looked like him. "I love you, Gregory," Martin said sadly.
"Whose Gregory and why do you feel so sad, my love?" Kayla asked as Martin turned his head right and looked at Kayla
"Gregory was my younger brother. He was six years old when he died in a gun accident."
"Oh, God! How?"
"It was 4 years ago and when I was still in the US Army. I was done cleaning my Beretta M9 semi-automatic pistol when I felt the urge to go to the bathroom. I forgot to put the gun away in the safe and I didn't know Gregory was in my room, playing with my gun until I heard the gunshot. I rushed out of the bathroom and saw him on the floor with a bullet wound in the upper part of the chest. I immediately called 911 for an ambulance. They rushed him to the hospital, but he died to the ICU. The loss of my brother was unbearable for me and I blamed myself for not putting it up. My superiors felt sorry for my loss that I was discharged. I feel that I will never forgive myself for what happened to Gregory," Martin said as he started to cry.
Kayla, feeling sad for Martin, reached out for his face and make him look at her. "You're not the only one who has suffered loss in the past, Martin. Me and my sister, Tera, lost our parents when we saw them get brutally murdered in the hands of Yakuza thugs in Japan. Your brother would not wish for you to mourn over his death and your mistake. In fact, he would be proud of you for the accomplishments that you have achieved, including me as your girlfriend," Kayla said in a soft, warm tone.
"Thank you, Kayla," Martin said as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Anytime. Now, come here, handsome." Kayla pulled Martin's lips to hers and they share a comforting kiss. Unbeknownst to them, however, Freddy Nightmare was listening in on the whole conversation.
"Interesting. I guess I can put that to use to Martin if he keeps interfering with our team's plan to rule Megakat City," Freddy said.
At Enforcers HQ…
Commander Ulysses Feral was holding a meeting with his troops to be on the lookout of a deranged criminal responsible for a series of murders. "For the past two months, the city has been plagued by a series of grizzly murders where the victims were found brutally murdered in their bedrooms while they were asleep with post-mortem I have never seen before in my whole law enforcement career. There were no signs of any forced entry or any valuables were stolen at either crime scene." Commander has a hunch that these were not random acts of violence. "Many of our homicide detectives believe that this may have been the handiwork by this man, Freddy Walker, a registered sex offender and suspected serial killer."
"What's the catch, Commander?" Felina asked.
"According to Megakat City medical records, Freddy supposedly died in a warehouse fire 30 years ago. There is no evidence of insurance fraud, any sort of hoax, mistaken identity. Literally unexplainable," Commander Feral said.
"So, we got a dead man walking," Steele said.
"Pretty much. I want everyone of you to be on your guard. Put his details out to the media, Enforcers database and the FBI," Commander Feral ordered.
Outside of the Enforcers HQ, there was a car with two people who were driving around in the city. Tera was sitting in the backseat of the car while Slasher was driving. Slasher turned on the radio to hear the morning news. "Good morning, Megakat City. It's Ann Gora of Kat's Eye News reporting to you this morning directly from Megakat City Hall where deputy mayor and Megakat City mayor candidate, Callico Briggs, is about to make yet another attempt to bring in more voters to make her the first she-kat mayor in the history of Megakat City."
"Hmm, interesting. Megakat City Hall, Slasher. And step on it," Tera ordered.
"As you wish, madame," Slasher said as he drives to Megakat City Hall.
Later in the evening…
Megakat City Hall was filled with people at the dinner party, including Mayor Manx, Commander Feral and his family, Callie's and Tommy's family, Chance Furlong, Professor Hackle, Dr. Abby Sinian, Dr. Jason Konway, Jane Foxworth, Lt. Nate Steele, the O'Connells, the Hemmingways, Ann Gora and her camera man, Jonny Kaiser, Mikhali Troykavitch and his sister, Turmoil, after Callie granted her a pardon and a fresh start after she heard of her philanthropist history as well as her enormous protentional for good from Jake and Chance. Before the party would begin, Jake started off with a speech to the audience. "My maternal grandfather, Benjamin Davenport, once told me, "To succeed, we need only to pick a star and follow it." And so, Clawson Enterprise is donating $1,000,000 to St. Jude's Hospital in Callie's name so that future generations of children will have a chance to follow their own stars. The Clawson Enterprise is also donating the world's advanced telescope to Megakat City University's Observatory Restoration Project. With any luck, this telescope will also give future generations a chance to follow their own stars," Jake said as the crowd applauded.
"Jake, is it true this new telescope can see all around the globe?" Ann Gora asked as Jonny was rolling.
"Yes. If you'll watch these monitors right here. Professor Hackle?"
"Satellites already in orbit allow us to reflect light from any given point on the planet," Professor Hackle explained.
"From here, we'll be able to see the sky anywhere on Earth and through this intricate network of satellites, reflect it back to our very own Megakat City for observation," Tommy said.
"Just don't point it at my bedroom," Jake said and the crowd start laughing at the notion.
"I also want to present everyone to Cybertron and Axle-777," Tommy said as Cybertron and Axle-777 appear on stage. Everyone was absolutely surprised to see Cybertron to be fully repaired.
"So, this what you have been doing in the last two months," Callie said to Tommy.
"Me and Professor Hackle wanted to surprise everyone here, especially you and Jake."
"Well, you've succeeded, kid," Jake said as he patted Tommy's shoulder with his hand.
"Everyone, meet Axle-777," Professor Hackle said.
"Hello, I'm Axle-777. I speak several different languages, I have the same fighting abilities as Cybertron, and I can override any system," Axle-777 said to the amazed crowd. Inside of the crowd was Tera, who was spying on Callie and Jake as her primary target to gather information.
"Ha, ha, ha. Jake, you and Callie Briggs have been going out forever. Are you two going to tie the knot?" Ann asked. Tera thought of a perfect opportunity to move in on them, but not without the notice of Commander Feral, Jane Foxworth and other Enforcers.
"Uh, marriage? Uh, uh, uh, marriage. Uh… You want to give me a hand here?" Jake asked Callie and her mother.
"Jake and I are recklessly in love. And that's most certainly enough for us… for now," Callie said.
"Plus, only time will tell when the opportunity comes along the way as God's plan," Martha said.
"Now, if you will all follow me, I'll show you the central control grid," Dr. Konway said.
"You're a lot of help," Jake said in a whisper.
"You're welcome," Callie said.
"Miss, you need to stop," Commander Feral ordered.
"Out of my way, you fascist kat," Tera ordered back.
"You have to have an appointment to see Ms. Briggs," Jane said.
"I don't need an appointment."
"Miss, you're not authorized to be up here. Uh, look—She doesn't have a pass, Ms. Briggs," Jane said.
"It's alright, we'll handle this," Callie said.
"A little overly protective, but you're not going to hurt us, miss-?" Jake asked.
"Doctor Tera Flasker," Tera said to Jake.
"Doctor, what can I do for you?"
"Actually, me and my sister, Kayla, already work for you—or my sister did. Your arboreal preservation project in South America."
"We cut our funding. There was a conflict of ideologies. Dr. Stevens was a lunatic."
"I see you knew him."
"Yes, I did. That lab burnt down to the ground two months ago. I'm glad that you and your sister managed to escape unharmed."
"I have here a proposal showing how Clawson Enterprise can immediately cease all actions that toxify our environment. Forget the stars, look here at the Earth, our mother, our womb. She deserves your loyalty and protection. And yet, you spoil her lands, poison her oceans, blacken her skies! You're killing her!" Tera shouted to the audience and Jake.
"That's weird. I can sense she is very troubled and very confused about what she's talking about, Master," Tommy said in his mind.
"I can sense that, too, apprentice," Carter said.
"What makes her think that the SWAT Kats and everyone in the world are evil? The Pastmaster and the other enemies of us are the evil ones."
"I can also sense that she had experienced love, loss and pain. She was unable to deal with her grieve after she and her sister lost their parents. I wonder it may have been possible that the Pastmaster has made Tera and her sister to believe that we're evil and not him. I can also sense she and her sister, and the other three teammates of her team have the traits of the Dragon Slayers."
"Well, your intentions are noble, but no diesel fuel for heat, no coolants to preserve food, millions of people would die of cold and hunger alone. Some of the most horrible things imaginable have been done with good, noble intentions," Callie said.
"Acceptable losses in the battle to save the planet," Tera said.
"People come first, Dr. Flasker," Jake said.
"Mammals. A day of reckoning is coming. That's right. The same plants and flowers that saw you, crawl from the primordial soup will reclaim this planet, along with the Seven Deadly Sins, and there will be no one to protect you!"
Then, everyone started to laugh hysterically, thinking it's some kind of practical joke, even Cybertron and Axle-777.
"You—You must be new in town. In Megakat City, the SWAT Kats and their allies protect us, even from plants and flowers and the Seven Deadly Sins," Ann said as more laughter come from the audience.
"Maybe you'd like to meet them, Doctor. Masked heroes are going to make an appearance and help us auction off a diamond to raise money for our botanical gardens at Megakat City Hall where the newly elected mayor will be nominated. Just a few mammals doing what we can for the world's plants," Jake said as he handed her over an invitation. When she opened it, it showed that the special guests are, in fact, the SWAT Kats.
"Thank you all for coming. Good day, Doctor," Callie said as she and Jake left with the others. The crowd applauded at them and Tera waved goodbye to them. One of the Enforcers was going to grab her arm and escort her out. "Hhmph!" she said as she turned around, showed the invitation to the Enforcer and left of her own free will.
"SWAT Kats and their allies, militant arm of the warm-blooded oppressors, animal protectors of the status quo. First, I'll rid myself of the heroic kats and their animal friends. And then Megakat City, no, Earth, will be ours for the greening," Tera said as she and Slasher left the building.
