HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

Chapter 12: Taking Out the Hunters

A grim group met for breakfast. They ate quickly then proceeded to put their plans into action. While Dr. Sinian and Feral left for Enforcer Headquarters, the SWAT Kats helped Professor Hackle get ready to leave.

Hackle's robots had already loaded the crates he was to deliver to Enforcer Headquarters but his old pickup had developed some last minute problems with the engine. The Professor was going to have a robot take a look at it but the SWAT Kats stepped in.

"Don't bother, Professor. We can check it out and fix it." T-Bone assured him. He popped the hood and began poking around. "Looks like the distributor, Razor and maybe the carburetor..." He muttered to his partner.

"Yeah, I think you're right. We need some tools, Professor." Razor agreed studying the engine.

"Certainly, take what you need." Hackle said.

For the next hour, the pair worked on the engine. Finally, T-Bone shut the hood and wiped his paws while Razor put away the tools.

"There you go Professor. Won't give you any problems now and its just in time for you to leave as well." Razor told him.

"Excellent! Thank you both and good luck to all of us." The Professor said climbing into his truck and taking off for the city.

"Yeah, you too." T-Bone muttered after him.

He and Razor made for the Turbokat and jumped aboard. Soon they too were on their way. They needed to load up with weapons. Razor had already placed a special crate containing the larger negator they needed for the prison cell. They would be waiting for the Professor to deliver the weapons then they would pick him up and wait for the signal from Feral to head to the prison to alter the cell to hold the hunters.

Dr. Sinian parked her vehicle in a visitors slot at Enforcer Headquarters and she and her rather plain looking assistant entered the lobby of the huge building. No one took any real notice of them as they headed for the elevators.

Feral had already called Lt. Commander Justlin over the radio late last night. As she and Dr. Sinian got off on the floor her team leaders were waiting for her, she took a moment to step into an empty closet and alter back to her male appearance. She had Dr. Sinian wait for her in a small unused office so no one would see her then Feral went down the hall to the conference room.

Her officers stood upon her entry and she signaled them to be seated. She launched into her briefing quickly and concisely. It took over an hour to lay out the plan and to answer their questions.

"Alright, it is now ten a.m.! I want your teams in their places by noon. When I give the signal, the hunt begins. Everything must move swiftly or we're defeated before we even get a few of these guys. You are all that stands between us and total domination by a magical race. You can't fail. Remember talk to no one outside this mission. Good luck to you all." She said, praying in her heart that they all succeeded.

The team leaders nodded grimly, understanding just how important this mission was compared to others before and had far more deadly consequences than fighting the omegas.

Knowing she had done everything she could, Feral left only after the last of her special ops officers had departed. She met up with Dr. Sinian once more, altered her form, then they both quickly and quietly slipped out of the building and left for Professor Hackle's home.

On the way there, she contacted the Professor on the handheld radio they'd given him and notified him that the briefing was over and the ops teams would be expecting him. He gave a quick acknowledgment.

On the drive back, with Dr. Sinian behind the wheel, Feral contacted the prison and spoke with the warden about converting one of the cells for their special prisoners. The warden was confused by the request and it took the whole drive for Feral to explain and press him to allow the changes to be made by the SWAT Kat Razor and Professor Hackle with Dr. Sinian assisting. She impressed upon him the importance of this action due to the danger facing Megakat City. She finally got his agreement and promise of cooperation.

Once they arrived at the Professor's place, the SWAT Kats arrived shortly after them. Feral told them the warden had agreed to let them convert a cell and would be waiting for them. She returned her form to her true one for the next half of this plan.

Razor sighed in relief at the information, now all he had to do is wait for Hackle to return.

"Guess you two better get going and close that portal." He said.

"Yeah, you're right. Ready to go Aurora?" T-Bone asked already moving off toward the jet to retrieve the cyclotron.

"As much as I'll ever be." She muttered at his back, as she followed him.

Within minutes, they were roaring down the road toward Megakat Park, Aurora clinging to his back like a barnacle. His speed was a bit unnerving but she was so wrapped in her worries she didn't notice. She was nervous and uncertain if her plan to shut down the portal would work.

'Would I be able to generate enough energy to shut it down?' She thought, troubled. The whole plan would fail if they didn't succeed. She didn't notice when T-Bone reached the park.

He had stopped at the entrance to the most wild part of the park and turned to ask her where the portal was exactly. Noting her inattention, he reached a finger out to her chin and lifted it.

"Hey doll, we're here and I need to know where to go." He said gently.

Her eyes widened and she blushed furiously at her inattentiveness. She looked around quickly.

"There, we need to get into that area." She said pointing toward a heavily wooded spot.

T-Bone nodded and drove the bike carefully through the thick brush until he reached a clearing hidden behind a small mountain of rocks.

"This it?" He asked cutting the engine.

"Yes, I can feel the energies from the portal." She said tensely, removing her helmet, leaving it on the seat. Then she climbed off the bike, grabbing the blanket she had brought. She looked around for a moment then found a nice spot with plenty of moss and grass for comfort with a tree overhanging it. She spread the blanket out with T-Bone's help.

Not sure what to do next, nervous tension making her too uptight at the moment, she began to walk around the area.. T-Bone left her alone to unwind while he checked the perimeter. After some ten minutes, he returned.

"No one's around, so we're good for awhile, I think." He said quietly, placing his helmet on the bike then coming to her side as she stood rubbing her arms and staring blinding toward where the portal apparently was.

He wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her neck. "Come on sugar, it'll be alright." He murmured soothingly.

She sighed and tried to relax and allow T-Bone to relax her.

Meanwhile, Professor Hackle had arrived at the rear of Enforcer Headquarters and pulled up to the proper loading dock. It seemed deserted but before he could climb out to find someone, he was suddenly surrounded by commandos who quickly emptied his truck of its load and vanished just as suddenly.

Shaking his head in amazement at their speed, Hackle pulled away from the building and pushed the speed on his truck to get back to his lab as quickly as he could. Some twenty minutes later, he sighed with relief as he pulled into his garage.

Razor and Dr. Sinian were waiting for him near the Turbokat.

"Everything go well Professor?" Razor asked.

"It was amazing how quickly Feral's enforcers unloaded and vanished so efficiently." Hackle said in admiration, shaking his head.

"Uhmph! Well at least there is something they are very good at and that's stealth. It's not really their fault they are underfunded and are forced to use badly out dated equipment." Razor said with a snort. "So shall we be off?" He suggested gesturing to the jet.

"Of course, my boy." Hackle said. He paused a moment to retrieve his special toolkit then headed for the jet with two of his robots. They had discussed ahead of time that the robots would help them get done faster and Razor had agreed.

Razor helped the Professor and Dr. Sinian into the cargo hold and insured they were secured in jumpseats then secured the robots before climbing up to the pilot's seat. Soon they were off for Megakat Prison.

Back at the park, T-Bone gently pulled Aurora into his arms and began nuzzling her neck. She sighed and shivered from his attention. She turned her head to get a kiss which he returned with interest.

T-Bone knew this had to be done with as much intensity as he could pull from them both. Starting slow, he tenderly worked to arouse her and make her forget why they were doing this. He kissed her deeply and with great attention. All the focus was on making love to her mouth first before moving onto anything else.

She moaned, he was soo good. He licked, nuzzled, slipped his tongue into her mouth and dueled with hers then withdrew to flick his rough tongue against her lips. It sent tingles through her body. Soon he added caresses with his fingers against her sensitive breasts through her shirt making her writhe against him.

He undressed her slowly like a gift, licking, nipping and kissing his way from her throat down her chest and stopping to give loving attention to each breast, sucking each nipple till they were hard pebbles before moving on to her navel. He stripped each piece of clothing off as he made his way down her body.

She was nearly blind with pleasure. He played her body like a priceless violin. No one had treated her like this before and she was drowning in the sensual fire of it all.

T-Bone was harder than he could remember just from her scent and her moans of pleasure. She was the hottest thing he'd ever experienced and he wanted more. He pulled her shoes off then her pants. He was caught off guard by the sight of a lacy thong she was wearing. He looked up at her face with an astonished smirk as he put a finger under its skimpy edge and pulled.

She blushed at him. "I just thought it might make things a bit more...um...hot?" She said demurely.

He gave a deep masculine chuckle. "Ohh, no doubt of that but I hope you aren't real attached to them." He said with a wicked look then tore them off.

She gasped in surprise then cried out in shock as he swooped down and began to lick her dripping offering. Oh my god, he was driving her insane.

He growled in his throat. She tasted like honey and he just couldn't get enough of her. He plunged his tongue into her hot channel and purred as she bucked in reaction. Only minutes of that and she was screaming her climax.

He let her come down a little before driving her up again. When she climaxed yet again, he knew he couldn't wait any longer. Stripping his G-suit off, then t-shirt and boxers, he lay on her and thrust into her still quivering channel.

She cried out and dug her claws into his back while wrapping her legs around his waist. He set a hard, punishing rhythm, driving them both to the edge. He was trying to bring them together to maximize the power they needed to bring to bear on the portal.

He was sweating and was very close but she wasn't yet and he had to hold on. He was fast losing his hold and decided something had to be done to get her to the point of no return with him. He kissed her savagely then pulled away and grabbed her left nipped with his mouth and nipped her.

That did it! She screamed and clenched around him hard. He roared as he spilled himself within her. As they came a nimbus of light surrounded them getting brighter and brighter then bursting like fireworks as they climaxed.

For just a moment T-Bone caught sight of a strange glowing hole in the air then it was gone in a flash. He collapsed on Aurora, heaving for air, his heart hammering in his ears.

"We did it!" She panted out in relief, nuzzling him with joy.

"Thank god!" He said, giving her a kiss before rolling off to let her breathe easier.

"Now all we have to do is get rid of the red leader's troops that are here." She said with a sigh.

"We'll do it!" T-Bone said with confidence.
