As the sun began to set over Megakat City, things were not alright at all. Two Enforcers laid dead in the street, their patrol car stolen and the carjackers were already heading for the local gang hideout. Commander Feral's office was being swamped with phone calls, with people demanding that he do something about the increase in crime.
The stressed out Enforcer leader looked out his window to the city streets below. From his position, he could see everything. Stores were being looted, fires were breaking out and some of his own Enforcers were starting to join in on the riots. It was hell on earth, and deep down, Commander Feral knew it was all his fault.
Arresting the SWAT Kats was his life long dream, but by doing so, he had opened the gates to world of chaos and disorder. Commander Feral turned away from the window. "What have I done?" he asked himself out loud. The answer then came barging through his office door.
It was Commander Feral's older brother, James Feral.
"I'll tell you what you done, Ulysses," James said with a harsh tone of voice. "You didn't think of what would happen without the SWAT Kats. Those two saved the city when you could not. And now your city is tearing itself apart."
Commander Feral knew James was right. But before he could speak, a muffled gunshot was heard coming from down the hall. Both James and Ulysses ran to investigate what happened. Commander Feral was shocked to discover that his best Sargent had killed himself.
Someone had to do something, otherwise the city would be destroyed by its own people. Then it dawned on Commander Feral that he still had one ace up his sleeve. Thinking fast, the Enforcer leader gathered a small group of still loyal Enforcers and headed for one of Carl Lockman's hideouts that he had learned of from the confession of Jessica.
As the commander and his men entered the hideout, they could feel an evil presence around them. Two of the Enforcers began to panic and pleaded with the others that they needed to leave, but Commander Feral, who didn't care about what he would find here, told the two to be quiet or go back and wait by the entrance of the hideout.
The Enforcers made their way down into the dark unknown of the hideout. Then, they saw it.
"The super soldier test lad," Commander Feral smiled, his big hands clutched tightly around the head of his cane. He looked at four of his Enforcers and said, "Move in and secure the cryo pod marked "Megatron" and Make sure to bring any flash drives you find as well."
As the four Enforcers stepped into the lab, the heavy steel door suddenly closed, and then the automatic lock turned on. The men were trapped inside the lab and Commander Feral stood outside, helpless to do anything for his men.
"Someone get this door open now!" the commander demanded. One of the Enforcers began to hook a PDA to the automatic lock.
Inside the lab, two of the four dropped their bags and pulled out their rifles even as Captain Rex, the leader of the four tried to contact Commander Feral from the other side of the door.
"What's that noise?" an Enforcer named Benny asked.
At hearing that, Rex turned to see…
"A security laser!" Rex shouted as he pulled Benny to the ground, the other two Enforcers were killed when the laser made contact with them. The beam cut right through their bodies and made a bloody mess on the floor.
Rex and Benny watched as the laser traveled over them and then disappear. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but then Rex's radio crackled to life.
"Rex! It's coming back—it's coming back!" Commander Feral shouted, his voice booming through the captain's radio.
Rex stood up. As did Benny. This time, the laser ran across the floor.
Outside the lab, Commander Feral watched as the laser cut Benny down. Now only Rex was alive, with his time running out. The laser came back at him, but the captain avoided it.
"Open this door now!" Commander Feral shouted, as he began banging on the heavy door with his cane. The Enforcer with PDA smiled as he had finally accessed the codes to the automatic lock.
"I almost got this thing open," he said, sweating from the stress he was under.
Rex looked up and saw the ceiling light fixture, jumped, grabbed hold of the fixture, then pulled his body horizontal so it would be over the beam.
Feeling the heat of the beam as it passed under his legs, tail, and back, he heard a metallic clanking sound as it went by.
He landed, ready for anything. Taking a quick look down, he saw that the laser had sliced through his pistol and its holder.
The laser launched a fourth time.
Rex was ready for anything.
Or so he thought.
This time the laser spread into a diagonal grid that took up the entire breath and height of the corridor. He could feel the heat of the massive deathtrap on his face as it neared him, ready to cut him into distressingly small pieces.
Nowhere to jump, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Rex closed his eyes. "I am so screwed." he said, waiting for the laser to claim his life, but…
"Got it!" the Enforcer shouted. He had shut down the laser and unlocked the door to the lab.
… "Thank God for hackers!" Rex cheered as he fell to his knees.
The next morning, Commander Feral was overlooking the final inspection of the cryo pod that held Megatron. With a smile on his face, he pulled the release switch and took a step back. Commander Feral marveled at what he saw inside the pod. It looked like Jake Clawson, but it had black fur, five razor sharp claws and bright red eyes.
Another Enforcer came in, following close behind him was James Feral. Being the older sibling, James tried to stop his brother from activating Megatron. But Commander Feral ignored him.
Megatron blinked a few times before stepping out of the cryo pod. "Where am I?" he asked Commander Feral.
"You're in the Enforcers HQ," Feral smiled, offering his hand to the android. "And right now, I need your help."
Megatron took hold of the commander's hand and stepped out. He looked around, scanning the area for anything that would be a threat to him. "What kind of help?" he asked.
Feral smiled. He now had the best law enforcer there was. "Cleaning up the city for starters," he said, pointing out the window.
About a mile from the Enforcers HQ was a jewelry store. The owners were well respected among the people, but not anymore. The elderly couple lying on the floor, hands tied and their shop being robbed. Six mean looking kats were walking around the store, looking for the best jewels to steal. So far, they only had found a few things worth taking.
A short stubby looking tabby turned over a display case. "Joe! Lets go! These oldies have nothing worth stealing." he groaned.
Joe, the leader of the crooks shook his head. "No way, Roy," he laughed, smashing a china set with his crowbar. "I think these two are holding out on us." The two elderly kats looked up at him, their faces were stricken with fear as two of the crooks approached them.
Suddenly, two of the crooks turned to see Megatron standing in the door way. His red eyes glowing, the android smiled and stepped forward a few steps. "You are all under arrest. Now come quietly, or there will be..." he stopped and scanned the area. The crooks didn't flinch. "...Trouble." Megatron finished.
Joe looked at his men and laughed. "Oh, fuck you!" he shouted.
Well, Megatron didn't like that, so he was going to teach them a lesson they'd remember, no matter how long they were jailed.
He thrusted a hard fist into the gut of the closest crook, then used an elbow to smash him in the back of the head. Joe and the other four rushed him, but Megatron was faster and stronger. Soon everyone of the crooks were on the floor, groaning in pain. But the short stubby tabby, Roy, got up. Megaton advanced toward him.
Roy gasped and stepped back, but—fool that he was—he tried to reach to his waist to grab his gun. Megatron's boot smashed the crook's hand and he could hear the bones crack and snap. Roy howled with pain. In six months, when he recuperated, he'd be able to use his hand to feed himself, and perhaps even jerk off to some porn, but little else.
After Megatron saw that his job was done, he scanned the elderly kats for any sign of injuries. Once he was sure they weren't hurt, the android called for the Enforcers to come and take the crooks to jail.
Soon, word spread about how Megatron was cleaning up the city. The local street gangs began going into hiding, but those who didn't ended up getting locked up after Megatron gave them a beat down. The people of Megakat City began to feel safe again with the android Megatron taking care of the crime in their city.
However, Commander Feral was getting a lot of heat from the families of the SWAT Kats. Not only that, but Callie's family were threatening to sue the city for the mistreatment of their daughter. Things were still not going well between him and his brother. James still blamed him for the disappearance of his daughter.
Commander Feral only hoped that Felina would come back or at least call to let him know she was ok. But at least the city was starting to feel safe again. That was one thing he could smile about.
However, there was one kat who wasn't smiling—Carl Lockman. The news of Megatron cleaning up the city burned him to the core. There was no way he was going to let his android be used for good, so he began to think of ways to regain control over Megatron.
