5:23 p.m: Dimension 2...
The Reapers had placed Razor in a chamber the color of blood. He was chained to the wall and was still unconscious from the pounding he'd received. They were waiting for him to come around and it took some ten minute before he finally did.
Razor was disconcerted to find a Reaper only inches from his face.
It's eyes glowed red as it said coldly, "Your initiation begins..."
Razor could see and hear a crushing wind in his mind then saw his friend, Chance, slowly dying, his body was turning into nothing but ash. The slim Kat started to shiver and convulse as he gradually began to lose his mind
Suddenly a portal opened and a familiar figure leaped out and sliced the Reaper's head off. Feral came out of the portal right behind him and found himself firing at more Reapers in the chamber.
He wasn't doing as much damage as Trigger though. He dodged and ducked expertly, slicing them in the process, while Feral turn his fire on the chains holding Razor. The SWAT Kat was soon sliced free but he sagged to the ground shivering in cold fear and seeing nothing but what was in his mind.
"Shit!" Trigger cursed when he finished off the Reapers then saw Razor's condition over Feral's shoulders. "Let me see him!"
Feral moved aside to let Trigger take a look at the smaller SWAT Kat. His face grim, Trigger morphed out his uplink and pulled out an injector then quickly shot the contents into the Kat's arm.
"What was that you gave him?" Feral asked.
"Just a little dose of holy water, he wasn't in the stare long enough to do permanent harm." He answered with a sigh.
"Stare?"
"Yep." Trigger said. "The Reapers stare at you with those big red eyes long enough you lose your mind, bleed out your eyes, go through some other convulsions, then die."
"I'm not sure I wanted to know that…." Feral said, repulsed at the idea. Trigger just chuckled.
Razor came out of his stupor, groaning in pain. Trigger grabbed him by his arm and lifted him up. "You alright?" He asked.
"Yeah, except for feeling like I'd been dissected…..that's all." The slim kat groaned, holding his stomach.
"Good! I suspect T-Bone is in a bad situation as well, so let's get going." The white Kat said and opened another portal pulling Razor along with him. Feral close on their heels.
5:34 p.m.: Dimension 1.
T-Bone slammed the vault-like door behind him just as the hoard of creatures could reach him. He leaned against it to catch his breath and looked around. The room was small and empty with no where else to go. He checked his ammo and listened to the banging on the door. He knew it wasn't going to hold for long.
"C'mon you bastards, I've got nothin' to lose!!" He shouted.
He only had one shotgun round left. Panting in fear, he realized he had only two choices; blast the first one that got in and hope the others stopped to eat him and forget the tabby or second, end his life his way. Such a way to go.
Firing on the likenesses of his partner was hard enough the first time, doing it again was going to be impossible. Left with no real choices and the door beginning to show dents, T-Bone lifted the rifle and brought the barrel to his chin, closing his eyes.
Before he had finished his final prayer, a portal opened beside him. To his shock, Trigger with the Kat he thought was dead and Feral, of all people, jumped through.
"Razor!" He shouted, dropping his gun. The slimmer SWAT Kat was hugged hard by the tabby. It almost choked him.
"Hey…didn't think you'd miss me that much!" Razor grunted in surprise.
"Thank GOD you're alright!" T-Bone laughed giddily as he let him go.
"Well, nice to see the reunion, but what the hell is trying to get into this room?" Feral asked as he quickly reloaded his AR34.
"Shape shifters." Trigger answered. "Let's get out of here, shall we? We still need to find the Lt. Commander and this guy's niece!"
Feral grumbled as they went into the portal again. He really hated this situation but he needed to find his niece. God help the thing that harmed her.
5:49 p.m.: Unknown location….
This dimension was not like the others. It was occupied, long hallways filled with Kats in tubes all along them. The SWAT Kats, Feral and Trigger all looked around, wary of anymore Reapers. Then Razor spotted one with Felina in it.
"Found one!" Razor shouted.
As they moved down the halls, they saw only females in this area. Steele, if he was here, must be somewhere else. Suddenly a shot rang out and Trigger growled in pain. Thankfully, he was the first one hit, since he couldn't die.
A Reaper had just appeared out of nowhere. The four kats blasted it at the same time, aiming for its head. They finally managed to shatter it neck, killing it.
"Let's move our asses!" T-Bone shouted as he reloaded his shotgun.
The bullet fell out of Trigger's chest as the white Kat broke the glass carelessly and pulled the she-kat out. "Surprised they'd left her clothes on." He commented.
"You alright Felina?!" Feral asked anxiously as he held her while she woke up rather quickly.
"Yeah….fine….just feels like I had a Kat-nap" She groaned. "Steele's in the other room over there." She pointed to a doorway to the right.
They hurried through the doorway into the next room. There they found Steele, splayed out on a metal table, dissection equipment and torture devices lay next to him. He had few cuts on his arm, and a small cut on his ear.
Felina ran over to the table and unlocked the cuffs with her claws. He woke, groaning in pain.
"Are you okay?"
"I'll live…just a few scratches." He assured her as he struggled to sit up with her help.
"Well, seeing as the whole gang's here, where to now?" Razor asked.
"We're going back to your dimension. This was all a trap." Trigger answered. "Hope you guys are ready to rock and roll!" He said grimly making a portal appear again.
Here we go. Kinda sad, not as many reviews. Oh well.
Anyway, I'm in the works for a new story from scratch, it will be something like: THEY LIVE. Really, watch the movie, and I have the update with my origenal piece.
