Chapter 3: She-kat in distress...again

"So, what's the plan again?" Billie asked.
The Past Master glared at her.
"Right...no talking...could I at least not be upside down? All the blood is rushing to my head and it doesn't feel very good," Billie told him.
"NO! What's done is done and that's how it's gonna stay!" the Past Master snapped.
"Okay, sheeze." Billie looked at her situation. Hanging upside down over a tank of melted iron...not very good. So she did the first thing that came to her mind:
"In the cold breeze that I walk along. The memories, the generation burned within me," she sang.
"What are you doing?!" the Past Master asked.
"Singin'," Billie answered.
"What are you singing?!"
"Wolf's Rain."

"Well, stop!"
"Can I hum?" Billie asked.
"NO!" the Past Master barked.
"Fine!" So she whistled.
"STOP IT!" Past Master begged. "STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!"
"Geeze, Pasty, don't be so touchy. All you have to do is say please!"

"You are testing my patience, she-kat!" he snapped. "I will not hesitate to kill you!"
There was a brief pause between the two of them, then Billie said, "You hesitated."

"Where did she say we had to go?" T-Bone asked.
"Abandoned mine...probly the same old dusty mine that the Past Master used to bring those mummies to life," Razor said.
"Right. Let's head that way first?" T-Bone asked.
"Yeah," Razor confirmed.
Billie sighed.
"I'm board!" she announced.
"Good for you," the Past Master said. He had had it up to yin-yang with this girl.
"Can you tell me a story?" she asked.
"What? No!" the Past Master answered.
"Fine. Up for a game of Black Jack?" she asked.
"Okay, we're here. The abandoned mine. Now what?" T-Bone asked.
"We go inside," Razor answered.
"Gee. I coulda figured that out myself!"
"Common, T-Bone." Razor went in first. "This is too easy," he observed when they were a little ways in.
"Yeah, there's gotta be some sorta trap...right?" T-Bone asked.
"There should be," Razor answered. "Just keep your eyes peeled."
"Uh, Razor," T-Bone started.
"Yeah?" Razor asked as he cautiously continued into the tunnel.
"I think we found our trap!"
"Eighteen!" the Past Mater said, flipping his cards open. "Beat that, she-kat!"
Billie smirked and slowly flipped open her two cards. "Twenty-one. I win...again."
"Oh for Kat's sake," the Past Master sighed. "Let's play another game."
"How's Bull sound to you?" Billie asked.
"Fine, we'll play Bull. Hurry up and deal the stupid cards."
"What is that thing?!" Razor asked as he avoided a swipe from the giant insect thing.
"Looks like a cross between a praying mantas and...something else!" T- Bone answered as he fired his glovatrix at the giant bug attacking his best friend. "I HATE bugs!"
"T-Bone, look out!" Razor warned.
T-Bone dogged the bug-thing's long, scaly tail and jumped on its back. He pulled out a knife and shoved it into the creature's back. It bounced of the hard exoskeleton.
"For kats sake, does this thing ever die?" he asked.
"I have an idea!" Razor announced. "Throw me the knife!"
T-Bone passed the blade to his partner just as the bug threw itself up against the wall in an attempt to throw him off.
"Elephant!" Billie called.
"No! It's a duck! A duck!" the Past Master corrected. "Tell me again why we're playing sherades?"
"I dunno, you're the one who wanted to. I suck at sherades," Billie answered.
"Tell me about it," the Past Master mumbled. He walked to one of the monitors and saw the SWAT Kats fighting one of his monsters. "Okay, they're here, back over the tank of boiling metal substance," the Past Master ordered.
"But I don' wanna go back over the tank of boiling metal substance!" Billie complained.
"Too bad," the Past Master answered.
"You're being mean," she said flatly.
"Live with it, sweet cheeks."
"You're making me mad."
"You'll get over it."

"You don't wanna make me mad," Billie said. She put her hands around her crystal Bastet charm and muttered a few words. She was surrounded by a blinding white light...
Razor plunged the dagger into the beast's underbelly. It shrieked and the mine started to shake. Rocks fell from the ceiling.
"T-Bone, hurry!" Razor pulled his stunned partner to his feet and they both ran as fast as they could out of the section of the mine where the insect was dying. The mine collapsed behind them. "Great," T-Bone said sarcastically. "Now how're we supposed to get outta here?" "We'll figure that out later. Right now, worry about Billie. Who knows what the Past Master's done to her?" Razor asked. "Or what she's done to the Past Master."
The light faded and a whole new Billie stood in front of him.
Instead of the jacket and the tight-fitting blue top, she wore a blue top with one long sleeve and the other was short and revealed her shoulder.

Her hands now were clothed with complex black-leather gloves and in place of her pants was a short, cheer-style red skirt.
Her black and white sneakers had materialized and were replaced by one red and one blue above-the-knee boots.
Her gold eyes were hidden behind a black mask.
She raised her paws over her head.
"You do not want to make me angry!" she repeated, more fiercely. She threw her hands down and a light blue ball of energy flew from them.
It hit the Past Master head on and he flew into the control panel behind him.
The SWAT Kats raced threw the tunnel toward the crash. They could see the opening, but they still had a ways to go.
Please let that be the Past Master and not the Kid! T-Bone silently begged.
They reached the tunnel entrance and saw something that surprised them very much.
Billie hovered over the Past Master, who lay in a heap on the floor.
"I warned you not to make me angry," she said wickedly. She smirked and looked toward the entrance. She saw the SWAT Kats standing breathlessly, watching her.
"Billie?" T-Bone asked.
"Hey guys!" she said happily. T-Bone smiled. Yup, he thought, that's Billie. "I see you don't need any rescuing, huh?" Razor asked. "Oh, I still need to be rescued. I dunno the way outta here." T-Bone and Razor laughed. "Let's go home," Razor said. "Okay!" Billie answered. She bent down over the motionless figure of the Past Master and put her hands above his head. A white ball of energy found it's way down to his body and disappeared inside him.
"Now we can go home," she said.
"What'd you do?" T-Bone asked.
"Erase his memory," Billie said. "Can I still stay with you guys?"
"What's wrong with Chance and Jake?" Razor asked.
"You are Chance and Jake," Billie answered.
"What?!" T-Bone asked. "How long have you known?"

"Since just now," she answered. "So can I?"
"Yeah," the toms answered in unison.
"Just one thing," T-Bone added.
"What's that?" Billie asked.
"No more pineapples in the couch."
