He literally felt like several freight trains had run over his body going over 100 miles an hour; with a splitting headache to match it. T-Bone opened his eyes into dazed slits so as not to show that he was awake. He was tied to a chair, with Razor tied similarly behind him, though still unconscious. After glancing around to make sure no one was watching them, he tested his bonds. He let out a soft groan as he felt the scratchy rope bite further into his wrists. He ceased moving with his ears fully alert, trying to pick out the sound of his captors from the dull thrum of the computers and the distant echo of water dripping into vast pools of dark, infinite water.
Callie couldn't take her eyes off of the two vigilantes that sat tied in the middle of the room, apparently still unconscious. They both had received bad beatings following their capture, but thankfully they were out cold so they didn't feel anything at that particular moment in time.
"I hope they have no broken bones." Felina whispered to Callie as she also watched the two Swat Kats.
Callie could do nothing but nod. She found herself especially worried about Razor, who hadn't stirred for almost an hour. It wasn't that she cared about T-Bone less, it was just that…..well…she didn't know how to explain how she felt about him. As she leaned her head back on the rock wall, she found herself silently praying that they would both wake up soon.
Moments later, she felt a sharp nudge against her arm. Startled, she sat up and looked over at Felina, who was nodding towards T-Bone. "He's awake." She whispered urgently. Callie's eyes gleamed as she watched T-Bone struggle in his bonds.
"See if you can get his attention." Feral suggested quietly. "Toss a rock at him."
Callie glanced at her right and saw a few pebbles lying not far from her. Holding her breath, she looked over at the tunnel where the supervillians had gone earlier to make sure they weren't coming back. Turning back to the pile of rocks, she stretched her right leg over to the pile and dragged a couple towards her. She froze; making sure the low grating sound hadn't attracted any unwanted attention.
Seeing the coast was clear, she brought them closer to her and separated a medium sized rock from the rest of the pile.
"Kick it quick before we run out of time! Feral hissed at her as he glanced back over at the tunnel.
Holding her breath, she kicked the rock as best as she could while sitting on the ground. It went skidding across the floor and hit T-Bone in the foot.
For several moments, T-Bone didn't stir.
"Ppppsssssttttttt! T-Bone, over here!" Felina called softly.
T-Bone, who was staring down at the rock that had struck his foot, slowly looked up over to where the rather large group was sitting.
Callie couldn't help but smile with relief. "Are you okay?" she mouthed, hoping he could read lips.
T-Bone nodded in reply, but then grimaced from the pain of the sudden movement. Forcing a smile on his face he looked back over at the group. "Just a little sore." He murmured in a gruff voice.
"Can you get out of your bonds?" Feral asked.
T-Bone sighed as he leaned back into his chair and started to fight with the vicious bonds once again. "Just give me a sec." He gritted through his teeth.
And then, the sound of footsteps and evil laughter bounced off the cavern walls with intense velocity. T-Bone felt his ears lay flat against the sides of his helmet, as he sent reproachful glares at the group of villains that emerged from the tunnel.
"Ooohhh, look who's decided to join the vorld of the living." Turmoil taunted in her strong French accent as she made her way over fuming tom-kat.
"If you step any closer to me and partner I swear I'll put your sorry French tail back into the air." T-Bone snarled, his voice dripping with contempt.
The villains laughed with a renewed vigor as they encircled the two Swat Kats.
"My my, someone voke up vith a sour mood." Turmoil's face was one of mock astonishment as she ran a finger down T-Bone's face. Then a sly smile appeared on her face. "And dis my dear T-Bone is just for you." The smile rapidly disappeared as she drew back her hand and slashed T-Bone across the face with a resounding slap that even made the Enforcers and Deputy Mayor cringe. The villains chuckled gleefully as T-Bone's face went sharply to the side.
T-Bone did nothing but grit his teeth as he felt pain spreading across his face like a blistering wildfire. Maintaining his surly, cocky attitude, T-Bone looked up at Turmoil and gave her his trademark grin. "I missed you too." He replied sardonically.
Turmoil smirked as she folded her arms across her chest. "You von't have that kind of attitude for long T-Bone, I can promise you that."
"I'll hold ya to that." T-Bone smirked callously.
Dark Kat's chuckle reigned over the other criminal's mirth. "You two pathetic crack me up." Looking back at Hard Drive, Dark Kat snapped his fingers towards the still unconscious Razor. "Wake him up."
Grinning evilly, Hard Drive made his way over to Razor, with blue spurts of electric sparks leaping on the techno crooks hands excitedly.
"Don't you touch him!" T-Bone snarled as he struggled in his chair like a wild kat. Mac walked up and dealt a hefty metal fist into T-Bone's stomach.
"NNNOOOOO!" Callie screamed as she tried to jump to her feet but was unable because of the short chains.
"Ms. Briggs, sit down! You'll just make it worse for him!" Feral yelled above the noise.
Ignoring the protests around him, Hard Drive reached for Razor with a sizzling hand. Just as the techno crook was about to shock the Swat Kat, Razor's eyes flew open and with a fierce light in his eyes. He quickly brought his feet up to his chest and shot out at the shocked Hard Drive with all his might. Hard Drive went soaring over the heads of his fellow villains and onto a desk, making it collapse into a splintered heap.
The villains didn't remain shocked for long. Hard Drive leapt to his feet and glowered at Razor. Blue and white sparks spat angrily from his suit as he charged toward his hated foe. "Why you conniving, sniveling, snotty-muzzled brat!" He spat as he prepared to launch himself at Razor.
Chop Shop held up his arm and stopped Hard Drive from reaching the sneering Razor. "Not now Hard Drive." Dark Kat purred as he walked up towards the Swat Kats. "I promise you'll have your chance after everything has been accomplished."
"Don't count on it Dark Crud." T-Bone growled.
Dark Kat cackled, madness gleaming in his glowing red eyes. "You don't seem to get it do you? Just picture it Swat Kats. The earth in a matter of several months will be covered with our armies of the land, water and sky. Alone, we weren't strong enough, but now our strengths are united and our power will take this world with a force never seen before. Try as they may, the governments with their pathetic military will be no match for the armies we'll disperse among katkind."
"Over my dead body." Razor snarled, disdain clearly evident in his voice.
Every villain present threw their heads back and laughed raucously. Dark Kat dramatically gestured about him were his fellow criminals stood.
"It'll be our pleasure Swat Kats! But all things shall come in their due time!"
