Ch.10: Tiger's Eye

"Twin Fang Bay" announced T-Bone, as the TurboKat flew over Razor's old hometown " its been awhile,"

"Sure has," said Razor, looking over his old city.

This place held many wonderful memories for Razor and T-Bone. Back when Jake's mother was still around, she along with Jake and Chance would travel to Twin Fang Bay and enjoy a well deserved two week vacation.

Jake would jump right into action and go surfing on the waves, while Chance usually stayed on the beach flirting with the girls. However, both tomcats enjoyed playing the enthralling sport of volleyball. Sometimes they got a little to competive though, until the lifeguard would finally tell them to stop.

Both Swat Kats thoughts were interrupted when the TurboKat came gentley down for a stop. Getting out of the jet, T-Bone and Razor started thier short walk to a small town just off the coast.

"Well the old town seems as friendly as usual," said T-Bone, as he and Razor entered the city limits.

All the children and parents who had been frolicking in the streets playing games, suddenly stopped all thier activities when they spotted the Swat Kats. Eyes widening in fear, the citizens of Twin Fang Bay, quickly returned to thier houses for safety.

"What are they so afriad of?" asked Razor.

"They are afriad because you bare the mark of the Dark One," came an unexpected voice from behind them.

Turning around Razor and T-Bone's eyes met with a familar face of white tigress named Luna and her daughter;Rachel. All four cats imediately exchanged greetings before asking questions.

"So what brings you two back to the big city?" asked Rachel.

"We had a little disagreement with Razor's father," said T-Bone.

"So" said Luna, her voilet eyes looking at Razor " you finally figured out the truth,"

"You knew?" said Razor, shocked.

"Of course I did" said Luna " me and your mother were close friends remember? We didn't have any secrets between us,"

"Come on in guys" said Rachel, moving towards the house " I'll bake you some of my catnip cookies,"

"Mmmm" purred T-Bone " you know I can't resist thier taste,"

A few minutes later everyone was gathered in Luna's house, nibbling on Rachel's catnip cookies. The place looked exactly like T-Bone and Razor remembered from thier past visits to Twin Fang Bay. Luna was still in trianing to be a zen master, and Rachel still had a crush on Razor.

T-Bone spotted Rachel's box of scrapbooks, and pulled one out. The scrapbook was full of pictures and articles advertising the Swat Kats great success as protectors of MegaKat City.

"Been keeping tabs on us huh?" smiled T-Bone at Rachel.

"Ever since you guys trusted us with your secret" said Rachel " I couldn't help but become a fan,"

"Luna" said Razor, looking at the white tigress " do you know anything about the Talasism Stone?"

"Yes" said Luna " according to myth, it was used long ago to seal away Dark Kat's most dangerous powers,"

"Well its no myth" said Razor " it exsists. Well, did exsist. I broke the stone and Dark Kat's powers got transfered into me,"

"Aw" said Luna " that explians why the citizens are so afriad. They sense the darkness around you, and that you now possess Dark Kat's power. One slip of emotion could mean disaster for us all,"

"What does that mean?" asked T-Bone.

"Dark Kat's power thrives on anger and hatred" said Luna " the more negative energy produced, the greater his power,"

"How do I return it?" asked Razor.

"Return it?" said Luna.

"Yeah" said Razor " I don't want it! Thanks to this magic inside me, I've become a murderer! I nearly killed my own best friend,"

"It's okay bud" said T-Bone, putting an arm around Razor's shoulder " I don't blame ya. If anyone is to blame it's Dark Kat! He tricked your dad and took possession over his body just so he could survive. Now he's trying to do the same thing to you,"

"Except this time" said Luna, solemnly " it would be the birth of a new Dark Kat,"

"We can't let that happen!" shouted Rachel.

" I agree" said Luna, looking at the Swat Kats " go to the temple on Claw Mountian. Release yourself from this dark power, and end the curse of Dark Kat once and for all,"

"Thanks" said Razor, leaving to head towards the temple, now that he and T-Bone knew where it was. " see you soon,"

"If you survive," thought Luna.
