As the bright light filled the factory with a blinding intensity, Mickey began to wonder if his life could possibly get any weirder. It certainly didn't seem that way, as a dark figure slowly stepped out from the blue beam. As the figure materialized in front of him, Mickey could not have been more shocked if the Easter bunny had been standing before him.
"I don't believe it!" he thought in disbelief, "It's a human!" He was a tall, thin man wearing a dark suit and the same sunglasses as Mickey had. He had blonde hair and a large scar across his left cheek. As he removed his sunglasses, Mickey noticed that his cold, blue eyes matched the cold tone in his voice.
"Well, well," he said calmly, "It looks like you guys have started the party without me. How rude!" Feral stepped forward.
"And just who do you think you are?" He said crossly. The blonde man frowned and shook his head.
"Sorry, but I don't socialize with Outsiders."
"What do you mean, Outsiders?" T-Bone asked.
"None of your business!" the man growled, "Now, back away while I- The man paused in disbelief as he spotted the three kids.
"Your children!" he said in disbelief, "Human children!" Mickey rolled his eyes; he had had just about enough weirdness for one day.
"Yeah, so what's it to you?" he said impatiently. The blonde man didn't reply as he pulled out a cell phone and dialed a number.
"This is Agent 7", he stated in a monotone voice, "I have a situation that I am unequipped to handle. Requesting permission to return to base." Casie leaned forward and whispered in Mickey's ear.
"Mickey, what's going on? Who is this guy, and how is he able to come here?"
"I don't know," Mickey replied, "but I'm gonna find out." Mickey stepped forward as the man put his cell phone back into his pocket.
"Just who are you anyway?" Mickey said in a harsh tone.
"I'm Agent 7", the man replied, "and I've come to collect an Outsider for research."
"Just what is an Outsider?" Nick asked. Agent 7 made a sweeping motion with his hand.
"Look around you; this entire world is populated with them. It's our job to exterminate them."
"Exterminate us!" Felina cried in disbelief, "But why!?" Agent 7 chuckled.
"I don't have the time or desire to explain it to all or you," he said in a condescending tone, "Let's just say that there are a lot of people who want to keep your existence a secret. The easiest way we can think of is total annihilation of your planet." T-Bone growled and flexed his claws.
"Hate to break it to ya pal, but no one's gonna be annihilatin' anyone!" he growled. The other Swat Kats stepped forward.
"That's right!" Casie said, "You better leave now or we're going to kick your tail!" Agent 7 continued to smile.
"Fine, fine", he said calmly, "but not before I collect a research specimen." Agent 7 fixated his gaze unto the unconscious body of Hard Drive.
"He should do nicely," he said as he pulled large, white handgun from his holster. A bright, white beam shot out from the gun and enveloped Hard Drive. The light was so bright that Mickey and the other kids had to put on their sunglasses while the others were stuck covering their eyes. As they watched in horror, Hard Drive began to disintegrate into hexadecimals. Agent 7 holstered his gun and withdrew a strange-looking box from his jacket pocket. Then, the particles of energy that had once been Hard Drive were sucked into the box.
"What the heck was that?!" T-Bone cried his eyes adjusted.
"I told you before," Agent 7 said impatiently, "I'm gathering research specimens. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some data to study." As he spoke, a blue beam shot up from the ground behind him. Before anyone could react, Agent 7 vanished into the beam. For a few moments, no one said a word. Then, Mickey spoke.
"What-what just happened?" he whispered.
"It's like Hard Drive was deleted or something," Roxanne said incredulously. Callie turned towards the Swat Kats.
"Who do you think that guy is working for?"
"We don't know Ms. Briggs", Razor said, "but we'd better find out."
"Yeah", T-Bone agreed, " 'cause it sounds like this guy isn't through with us yet."
