What happens when an Over-Protective Cheetah mother sees her daughter dressed as a SWAT Kat? You are about to find out.
Patricia and Abigale's lives have changed for the better. Have lots of plans for these two, wait and see.
The rest of SWAT turned around to see a female cheetah, wearing a pair of black athletic shorts, a t-shirt, and a not-to-pleased look on her face. "I'm going to ask you all, again one last time, before I make sure my daughter is safely in my car, and I hunt, each and every one of you. What is this place? What Team are you referring to? And most importantly, why is my daughter dressed like that?" Pat asked.
Havoc stepped forward followed by Sniper. They grasped each other's paws as they walked over to stand in front of Patricia. When they stopped, they removed their masks, shook out their hair, and Katerina answered, "I'm Katerina Belikov. We spoke on the phone, Ms. Meadows. This is my fiancée, Tina. We are also known as Havoc and Sniper. This is the Headquarters of the SWAT Kats. Your daughter, found Tina's uniform, while playing with our daughter, Gwendyln. We don't keep secrets from our family, which Abigale is now part of. Hence, we brought her here, so she could see everything for herself."
Fledgling ran from her spot, past Havoc and Sniper, to her mother. She looked up at her, and said, "Mommy, I ran the Obstacle Course, faster than any of them! Caliber, um Misses Clawson, wants me to learn from her! She is going to be the Commander of the Enforcers soon and Empress is the Deputy Mayor! I can learn so much from them, and the best part is, we can be part of this family!"
Pat dropped to her knees and hugged her daughter, tightly. Then said, "Abigale, I'm happy you have found some friends. But what they do is very dangerous, but noble." She shook her head as she realized what her daughter had told her, and asked, "What do you mean, we can be part of this family, Abigale?"
Caliber let go of Razor and went over to stand to the right of Fledging. She crouched down to Fledgling's height and draped her left arm over Fledgling's shoulders. "My Fledgling is going to be as awesome as her mentor, with the right training, which she will get, and so will you. We can use someone with your abilities, Ms. Meadows. And with time, you too can be as cool as me."
"And you are?" Pat asked, as she rested her weight on her right hip.
Caliber took her mask off, revealing her face, then answered, "I'm Felina Clawson, my code name is Caliber, and soon to be Commander Clawson of the Enforcers. My husband is Jake Clawson, a.k.a. Razor. Abigale will not only learn how to work as a team, she will have experiences from all sorts of disciplines from sciences and engineering, to metal craft and mechanics, acrobatics, and physical training. While she is learning, she will be part of a team. A team who learns, plays, and cares for the other, like family. We all share a bond, which can not be broken. It maybe strained at times, but never broken. That is what we are offering her, and you." She rose to her full height, and said, "Katerina mentioned to me, you are being abused by your so-called dates, and from the red mark on your cheek, she is right."
Pat brought her paw up to her cheek to hide it from the rest.
Felina took the raised paw in hers, shook her head, and said, "You have no reason to hide anything from us. Those who hit you will be brought to justice, and I will personally see to it, Pat." She smiled at the cheetah, then said, "What do say we get you in a uniform, then you can take my Fledgling out for a ride on a Cyclotron. What do you think, Whirlwind?"
Pat smirked, then slapped her paw on Felina's shoulder. "We'll work on the Code name, Caliber. Oh, I don't mind the uniform being tight. But I hate having my legs covered by anything. Even when I work as a Fitness Instructor, I only wear a high-legged leotard. Got anything along those lines?"
"Both you and Kayla are going to drive the male and some of the female population, completely insane with uniforms like those," Felina said, then winked at her. "But I'm sure, Kayla's girlfriend can whip something up. For right now, let's get you suited up and out on one of the most impressive machines you will ever ride."
Pat looked down at her daughter, and asked, "You going to be ok, while I get changed?"
"Of course! I'll be right over there, with Pirouette and Adonis," Fledging answered, pointing to them.
Pat looked past Felina to a couple, dressed in skin-tight gray uniforms with black accents. Adonis was sitting on the hood of a car with his legs spread open enough for Pirouette to be between them, leaning her back against his broad chest. Both of their paws were secured tightly against her stomach. Their Wedding Rings shined in the Moonlight. "Artemis and Rolland said I should be meeting with you in the morning about a Teaching Position, Pirouette. I'll be there around nine, after I drop off my daughter at school. Hope you can still dance after playing with your hunky husband tonight?"
"Don't worry about me. I know how to play with my husband, very well. Worry about you passing my test," Pirouette replied, rubbing her backside firmly against Adonis' crotch.
"I'm sure you do," Pat said, then followed Felina back into the hangar to change into one of the uniforms.
Adonis kissed the left side of Pirouette's neck, then said, "I don't know what Felina has planned. However, if Abigale's mother can run and move like her daughter, she'll be able to run in and out of situations, much faster than any of us can. Our opposition won't even know she's there, until its way too late."
"Artemis called me earlier. She told me how wonderful a dancer Pat still is. I can't wait to see her cut loose again."
Adonis pulled her tighter into his body, letting her feel his arousal, then whispered into her left ear, "I hope our kids sleep soundly tonight, Lisa. You and I have a date with that neglige you bought, before I remove it from your sexy body, and make love to you, for the rest of the night."
She spun around in his arms, kissed him, then said, "I hope I can keep up with you, my husband, and you brought plenty of, Protection?"
"We don't need, Protection. You and I want another kitten. I know you well enough, I can tell when you are going into heat, which I believe begins tonight. By morning, you might be pregnant again."
"If I'm going into heat, you might be sleeping alone, on the couch. I'm not ready for another baby yet. We still have to get Katherine out of diapers, before we even think of having another one," she said.
Fledgling came over to them, and asked, "You are going to give my mommy a job, Pirouette?"
Pirouette crouched down to her level, and answered, "Only if she can pass my test, Fledgling."
"Oh, she will. My mom dances all over our apartment, any chance she gets. She will pass any test you give her!"
"And I will," Whirlwind stated. She was now dressed in one of Havoc's uniforms. However, she kept tugging at the material covering her thighs, to feel it spring back to its proper place. "As good as I look, I can't wait to get out of this and back into my shorts. The material is making my legs itch and its driving me crazy!"
"Sorry, Whirlwind. You'll have to deal with being uncomfortable for now. Jessica can help you modify your uniform tomorrow. You know where the Cyclotrons are kept. Go get one and take it out for a ride. I'm going to take my Fledgling up for a ride in my jet," Caliber said.
Whirlwind stopped pulling at the material, faced Caliber, and asked, "Why can't my daughter come with me for a ride on the Cyclotron, instead of going with you? And who said, she's your Fledgling?"
"I did!" Caliber answered. "My Fledgling is going to have your abilities, and become a Natural Born Leader, under my tutelage, of course. In time, she will become the ultimate heroine she-cats of all ages will look up to."
"And why can't she achieve those things, under my watch, Caliber? I'm her mother! if anyone can teach her its me!" Whirlwind stated.
Caliber got into Whirlwind's face, and spat, "Yes! You can teach her things only you know! But I grew up in a Military family, surrounded by toms, who all thought, until very recently I would be nothing but a Kitten Making Machine! I had to work twice as hard to get where I am today! I'm going to teach her, she can do anything she sets her sights on and not let her gender, hold her back!"
Empress sensed things between her best friend and the newest member of SWAT were going to get violent, if someone didn't step in, and stop the pointless arguing between two of the most stubborn she-cats she had ever seen. She zapped herself between the two, and said, "You both have attributes she can learn from!" She turned her head to Whirlwind first, and said, "As Felina stated, there are only things you know, you can teach her. None of us have your instincts, speed, or dexterity, which comes naturally for a cheetah. Abigale will learn to hone those skills from you, and you alone." She then faced Felina, and said, "You're right. In my time at City Hall, I've never seen anyone work her tail off as hard as you. I've witnessed all the times, you were not supported by your superiors, how you were passed over for a promotion, even how your own mother tore you to shreds. However, you became stronger with every incident. Now you are going to be the first Female Commander of the Enforcers, on top of being a mother, wife, and mentor to Apprentice, Maven, and Fledgling." She faced Whirlwind, then Felina, and said, "All three of them will learn they can do anything they want. We all will teach them, to let their gender become an obstacle in their lives."
Felina pulled Whirlwind into an embrace, and said, "Like I said earlier, our bond may get strained, but it will never break. Your daughter will have two of the best teachers out there, giving her Life's Lessons. Under our guidance, she, Maven, and Apprentice will flourish. Take our Fledging out for a ride. My baby and I can wait another day."
Whirlwind hugged her back, and said, "This isn't the last time you and I are going to butt heads over her, Caliber. However, I can't think of a better she-cat to help me teach her those lessons." She let go of Caliber, turned towards her daughter, and said, "Come on, Fledgling. We have a date with two wheels!"
"Ok, mommy!" She responded. She quickly kissed Pirouette and Adonis, then said, "I can't wait for you to see what my mommy can do Pirouette."
"Neither can I," Pirouette said.
Fledgling faced Adonis, and said, "With all those muscles, you must have she-cats throwing themselves at you. You had better not cheat on Pirouette, or I will hunt you down!"
Adonis laughed at Fledgling's statement, then said, "You don't have to worry about me cheating on her. She is the only one I will ever love. When you get back, I'll tell you how the Bad Boy on campus, fell in love with an Angel from the heavens."
"I can't wait, Adonis," Fledgling said, and took her mother's paw in hers. Then they both walked back towards the hangar.
The next afternoon, Havoc, Sniper, Sure-Shot, Acrobat, Kunoichi, and Weaver arrived at the TV station. Each one was dressed in their uniforms. However, Weaver changed the material of her uniform to something more opaque, but equally as tight. It still showed off her body. But now she didn't have to worry about the lighting making her uniform almost transparent.
Acrobat turned to face the two younger SWAT Kats, and asked, "You two don't have to be interviewed, if you're both not comfortable?"
Kunoichi and Weaver grasped their paws tightly with the others. Then Kunoichi answered, "We know we don't have to, but we want to. We want everyone to know, how much we love each other, and it doesn't matter if we are both she-cats, either. Weaver is the one I want to be by my side, through it all. And I'm very sure, she feels the same about me." She quickly kissed Weaver as soon as she finished speaking.
Weaver kissed her back, then withdrew, and said, "That I do. I've never felt this way about anyone I've dated before, and I don't think I'll ever feel this way again. I'm madly in love with her." She sealed her lips to Kunoichi's again, letting her right paw find purchase on Kunoichi's lower back.
The other four watched to make sure their Very Public Display didn't cross over into something that would get them arrested. But when Weaver's left paw traveled down Kunoichi's body to her left breast, Sniper said, "If we were back in the hanger, I'd let you two continue. Heck, Havoc and I would be joining you. But we are in a garage, with cameras all over the place. So, unless you two want to be on the Eleven O'Clock News, I would stop, now."
Kunoichi and Weaver's lips separated, but they rested their foreheads against the other. "We'll pick this up, later. When there aren't so many watching, my love," Weaver said.
Kunoichi gave her a quick kiss, then said, "I hope so. Shall we head in?"
The six of them entered through the Garage, into a large almost barren cement block hall. Where Anne was waiting for them. She was dressed in one of her light blue suits, blue high-heeled shoes, and a light coating of makeup on her face. "Glad you all could make it," she said. She walked over to them, with her hips and tail swaying, and said, "If any one of my questions makes you feel uncomfortable, simply answer, no comment, and I will move onto another subject. I want this interview to be open and friendly. I don't think any of the questions are too hard, or push any boundaries." She looked them all over, then said, "Was sort of hoping you all would have worn something a little more formal. However, your uniforms bode confidence, which is what I hope the target audience sees as well. Come on, the studio is down the hall.
As Anne lead them down the hall, Weaver couldn't help to sneak a glance at her hips and tail in the semi-tight skirt Anne was wearing.
Sniper caught Weaver's glance, leaned over to her, and whispered into her left ear, "Don't worry, Weaver. The last time we were interviewed by her, I was also checking out her legs and tail."
Weaver blushed in embarrassment, which caused Sniper to chuckle.
Anne reached the door to the studio, pushed it open, and entered. She was followed by the six heroines and lead them to the stage. She took a seat in one of the tall Director's chairs, which faced six more of the same type of chair, crossed her left leg over her right, and said, "Take a seat, ladies, and we can get started."
Havoc took the chair on the far left, followed by Sniper who took the chair next to hers. Next Sure-Shot sat next to Sniper, and Acrobat sat next to her. Kunoichi took the seat by Acrobat, and finally Weaver sat down in the remaining chair.
The Lighting crew grabbed a few ladders and adjusted the lights, limiting the shadows cast, while enhancing the faces of the seven she-cats.
Several Camera-cats rolled in three large cameras. One facing Anne, and the other two facing SWAT.
Once they were set, the Director gave Anne a Thumbs Up and a Red Light on top of the camera aimed at Anne illuminated.
Anne smiled at the camera, then said, "This is Anne Gora. Today I have the pleasure of interviewing three of MegaKat's Hottest Couples. Each one found love, with another of the same gender. I will let each one, tell you their story. Before me are, Havoc and Sniper." The first camera facing the SWAT Kats quickly was aimed at Havoc and Sniper, then the same Red Light mounted on top of the camera turned on.
The two waived at the camera, then kissed.
"Next to them, are Sure-Shot and Acrobat," The second camera focused on the middle pair. Then its Red Light turned on.
They simply smiled at the camera, while holding their paws.
"And finally, the youngest couple, Kunoichi and Weaver," The first camera whipped to the right and its Red Light turned on.
Kunoichi grasped Weaver's right paw in hers, gave it a re-assuring squeeze, then brought it to her lips, where she kissed it.
Anne smiled at the couple, then picked up a yellow note pad from the small table on her left. She read the first question, she had prepared earlier, then asked, "Sniper, with your exotic looks, you must have been in the eye of most of the young toms in school. What was the reaction of your friends, when you came out?"
"Anne, I was forced to come out, way before I was ready. My so-called friends turned on me, I broke things, my grades slipped. If it wasn't for my parents, my teachers, and my first love. I'd probably be in jail, or worse," Sniper answered.
"Your first love? Who was she, and how did she help you cope?" Anne asked.
"My parents and my principal enrolled me in the Junior Enforcers Academy. Of course I fought back. I even took a swing at my father. But he never retaliated. I was dropped off at the Academy, where I found her. She was in charge of the group's physical training. She put me through the wringer for the first few weeks of training. I wanted to show her, I've gotten better, stronger, faster, impress her with what I could do. Well, my plans backfired, worse than Caliber's old car. I didn't inspect the course before I started, and injured myself. She picked me up from the ground, and started yelling at me for not using my head. After I was discharged from the hospital, she took me back to her home, and let her hair down. I found I was under her spell. When she sat down next to me, I was compelled to kiss her, hoping she would return my feelings, which she did. We quickly fell in love and made plans to move out west, where we could marry." She thought of how Dru would have been so proud of her, with all she accomplished, even if she wasn't with her anymore. Then trembled at the thought, she still had feelings for Dru.
Havoc felt Sniper shudder, through their paws. She brought up her paw up to her mouth, gave it a quick, but encouraging kiss, and said, "I love you, Sniper."
Sniper smiled at her lover, then said, "I love you too, Havoc." Then continued with her tale. "With her encouragement, I turned back into the girl I once was. Then, she was taken from me. I was in class, dressed quite well. When the principal took me out of class, and back to his office. He sat me down, and told me, my lover, and best friend was killed, protecting a pregnant she-cat from a mugger." Even though she was madly in love with Havoc, telling her tale, always made her cry. She collapsed to the right, and into Havoc's arms.
Havoc held her mate, stroking her hair, as she said, "I know you loved her, and probably still do, Sniper. Cry all you want, I'm right here."
Sniper continued crying, gripping Havoc's uniform, tightly in her paws. "Why did she have to be taken from me? We both wanted to get married, have a family, live out our lives! When I heard, my beloved passed. I wanted to die, so I could be with her again!"
Havoc hugged her tighter, rocking her like she did Gwendyln, when she had a nightmare.
The rest of SWAT surrounded Sniper and Havoc, being there to support both of them in their time of need. Then Weaver said, "I don't know who this mystery she-cat was, Sniper. But I highly doubt, she would want to see you, crying over her like you are."
"Sniper, you're stronger than this," Sure-Shot said. "Heck, I might be bigger than you, but all the crap you went through, when you were younger, made you more powerful than you realize. Come on, turn off the Waterworks, and focus on your gorgeous fiancée."
Hearing Sure-Shot call Havoc gorgeous, broke her out of her crying fit. She lifted her head from Havoc's breast, turned her body to face Sure-Shot, wiped her tears away with her right paw, and said, "You called Havoc gorgeous, in front of me and your own fiancée, Sure-Shot?" She let go of Havoc's uniform and stood up. And as she walked the short distance over to stand in front of Sure-Shot, she said, "You are so lucky I like you, or I'd be using you as a Scratching Post!"
Sure-Shot pulled her into a hug, and said, "I like you too, Sniper. Havoc is one lucky she-cat. She gets to have you, and Maven as her family. Love you, sister." She then kissed her between her ears.
Havoc saw red when Sure-Shot kissed Sniper. But before she had a chance to do or say anything, Anne asked, "Maven? Who's Maven and how come we have never saw him or her?"
Havoc calmed down, and responded, "Maven is Sniper's and my daughter, Miss Gora. She, along with Apprentice, and now Fledgling are junior members of the team. They train, help maintain all of our gear, and learn with each and every one of us. Each one is very talented, in different ways."
"They seem like, splendid children. I'd have to ask the producers, but Kats Eye News has a program dedicated to kids of all ages. I'm sure once word spreads of their existence, the Higher-Ups would want to have them on," Anne stated.
"They are great kids, Miss Gora," Kunoichi said. "All three attend Martial Arts classes with me and Sensei. If we aren't careful, those three kittens can and will surpass us."
Anne was busy scribbling down notes on her pad about the three youngsters, as she said, "Speaking of kittens. Weaver, what's your story? That mother of the two kittens you rescued from the Carjacking says she's deeply indebted to you all."
Weaver grasped Kunoichi's paw tightly in hers, and answered, "I never dreamed of being a SWAT Kat. I work with Apprentice's mother, being a Seamstress. That was before Kunoichi came into my life. She came by the shop, hoping I could modify her uniform to let her move her legs the way she needed." She removed her paw from Kunoichi's and let it ghost over the fur on her bare thigh, then continued, "She kissed me for the second time and took me out for a ride on her Cyclotron. That was when I met Acrobat and Sure-Shot. We saw and heard a few squad cars, chasing something and went to investigate. But as soon as Sure-Shot heard there was a Carjacking with two little boys involved, we knew we had to help, or she would have gone after them herself, and we all know that wouldn't have ended well for the perpetrator."
"So I heard," Anne interrupted. "If I read the report correctly, she took him out with a single punch."
"Oh yes she did!" Acrobat said. "As Weaver stated, if she went after him on her own, he wouldn't be breathing without the help of a machine. My fiancée has a very large soft spot for young kittens. Which is one of the reasons, I said yes, when she asked me to marry her." She then kissed Sure-Shot.
"Fiancée?" Anne asked, dropping her pad. "Is this what happens when you join SWAT? You end up getting engaged to your partner?"
"Not at all, Miss Gora," Havoc answered. "Sniper and I fell for each other, when I wasn't even looking for someone. Acrobat and Sure-Shot developed a bond, so strong, they couldn't deny the pull they felt, and Weaver and Kunoichi fell for each other, just like Acrobat and Sure-Shot. Everyone in SWAT shares a bond like family. But the heart wants what or who it wants. Being in such a close relationship with your partner, its natural to develop emotional ties with them. Guess some of those ties run deeper than others."
Anne slipped out of her chair and bent over to pickup her pad.
Sniper and Weaver watched intently as Anne's skirt ride high on her thighs, exposing more of her long, shapely legs to them. They both let out a low growl, leave their mouths, which Anne heard, and so did their respective others. Anne quickly straightened herself, smoothed out her skirt, and sat back down in her seat, then crossed her legs, and said, "Havoc, Kunoichi. Its nice to know, my legs are still in top form, that they can turn the heads of two of the City's Heroines."
Just as Anne was about to ask her next question, a lone tom burst into the studio. "How could you dump me, Anne!? After all we've been through, you dump me!"
One of the Security guards approached him and grabbed his left arm, and said, "You're trespassing. Leave now before I call the Enforcers to have to removed and arrested."
Anne's Ex reached behind him and pulled out a small revolver, pointing it to the guard's neck, and said, "I'll leave, once Miss High and Mighty Gora, tells me why she broke up with me! Got it!?"
Anne got up from her seat as well as the SWAT Kats. But without their weapons, most of them couldn't do much. However, Kunoichi had several 'Toys' hidden in her uniform, razor sharp, and ready for use. As she started lowering her right paw to the top of her boot, to get one of her Shirokens, Anne said, "This is one of the reasons I broke up with you, Ron! You always have to take things to the extreme and not leave well enough alone! I hated having to do what you wanted, all the time! Even when I was tired from a long day, you insisted on taking, and I quote, "The hottest she-cat in the city" out on the town! When all I wanted was to come home, have a simple dinner with some polite conversation, and head to bed! I got tired of being your Arm Candy! So, we are done!"
Ron slammed the butt of the gun against the guard's temple, sending him to the floor, before turning the gun on Anne. "We're not done, until I say, we're done!"
Kunoichi managed to get the Shiroken out from her boot, without being spotted by Ron. Thanks to Anne debating with him, to why he is a lousy Tomfriend. She quickly hid it in her gloved right paw and waited until she had a clear shot.
"This is what I am taking about!" Anne yelled. "You think swinging a gun around, is going to get me to go back out with you!? Then you are not as smart as I gave you credit for! I will never go out with you, again!"
Ron pulled back on the hammer of the gun and pointed it at Anne again. "Oh you will be mine again, Anne! Or you won't be with anyone else!"
Johnny, Anne's Field Camera cat entered the studio, through a door on the other side of the studio. He wanted to see the Interview with the SWAT Kats, and possibly convince Anne to leave Ron, since he knew, Ron treated her like crap. He also wanted to have a shot with dating her, since he had developed deep feelings for her over the time she and him worked together. However, as soon as he crossed from the wall of Electrical Switch gear to the Main studio, he saw Ron, pointing a gun at Anne. "Anne!" He screamed, as he ran to protect her.
Ron heard and saw Johnny running towards Anne. He swung the gun to the left and fired a single shot.
Johnny felt a sharp burning sensation in his lower left abdomen and fell to the ground. He placed his right paw over the spot and felt his paw and fur getting soaked with blood.
Anne's eyes went wide, then she shrieked, "Johnny!" She attempted to run to him, to try and assist with stopping the bleeding. But as she took the first few steps, Ron grabbed her left arm, pulling her to him, and placing the gun to her right temple. "Any one else want to be a hero?" He looked at the crew, then to the ladies of SWAT. Then said, "Be good girls, and don't try anything. Without your fancy Playthings, Razor develops, you six are nothing!"
However, what Ron didn't know was someone in the Control Booth called the Enforcers. While he was berating the six ladies.
A few minutes later, several Enforcer officers silently entered the studio from above, positioning themselves on the Catwalks, using the high powered lights to shield them from view.
Sniper happened to look up with her eyes and noticed the Tell-Tale reflection of light off of the lens of a Long Riffle's Scope. She squeezed Havoc's paw to draw her attention, which it did, then slightly lifted her head towards the Catwalks.
Havoc looked up herself and caught a glimpse of a dark shadow of a tom, aiming a riffle at Ron. A plan formed quickly in her head, and she said, "You're right, we can't do much without our weapons. However, we do have Medical Training. If we don't help the tom you shot, and he dies, you are looking at Murder. Is that what you want? To be arrested, and never see the outside of prison walls again? That is what's going to happen, if me, my fiancée, and Weaver don't stop the bleeding."
"Go. But no funny business or the brunette with the large chest gets it! Understand?" Ron said, pointing his gun at Sure-shot's head.
That tiny motion, made Acrobat let out a fierce growl as she extended her claws, and snarled at Ron.
Sure-Shot wasn't thrilled to be on the wrong end of a gun either. But she had to maintain her composure, or her fiancée was going to tear Ron to shreds. "Miss Gora is right about you! You don't get what you want so you waive a gun around like a toy! You don't deserve her the way you're acting!"
Ron waked forward and got into Sure-Shot's face, and spat, "Exactly, how am I acting!?"
While Sure-Shot had Ron occupied, Havoc and Weaver ran over to Johnny to treat his wound, Sniper slipped out of sight as quietly as possible, and ran to the nearest straight ladder, leading up to the catwalk above the studio. She reached one of the Enforcers, and asked, "What is the plan?"
The Enforcer looked over to the Costumed Heroine, and said, "I have no idea if you are really a SWAT Kat, or someone dressed like one for kicks. Leave this to the professionals, and you might not get hurt."
"Let me clarify who I am for you. I AM Sniper of the SWAT Kats. Give me one of your Long guns, and if I have the shot, I'll end this peacefully, without any Civilian Casualties,"
"That's not going to happen, Sniper. This team is highly trained. We will be the one to put an end to this situation, not you," he stated.
Sniper lifted her head to one of the younger Enforcers, who had his rifle aimed at Ron. However, instead of his body being completely still. He was trebling, making the end of the barrel move quite erratic. "Like the officer, who looks like he just graduated the academy and its first time holding a rifle?" Sniper asked, pointing at the officer in question with the index finger on her left paw.
The Lead Officer turned around and looked in the direction, Sniper was pointing, or more in particular, at the young officer she was pointing to. He got up from his knees, went over to him, and quietly asked, "You didn't pass your Marksmanship Test, why are you even up here, much less holding a rifle?"
"The Sergeant wanted anyone who went through the course here to assist. I was following orders, sir," he answered.
"Secure your weapon, now before we have a Civilian Casualty and give it to me. Then get out of the way, quietly. That's an order," he stated, extending his right paw with the palm up.
The officer quietly complied with the Lead Officer's request. He placed the rifle he was holding Firing Safety back on. Then handed him his rifle with his left paw.
"You'll get your chance one day. Keep practicing and you will pass. But for now, take a position near the rear of the Catwalk, and be ready for anything," the Lead Officer stated as he took the rifle.
The young officer smiled at his superior, then said, "Yes sir." He stood back up and went to the rear, as instructed.
"He's a little Green, but he seems like he will be one of the better officers on the force, in time," Sniper said.
"He will be someone the Commander can rely on. Since I'm down one officer, care to show me why they gave you your Code Name, Sniper?"
"Gladly," she answered, and took the rifle from him. She laid down on her stomach, brought the rifle up to her right shoulder, and took careful aim at Ron.
"Like a Spoiled Kitten, who didn't what he wanted! That's exactly how you are acting!" Sure-Shot said.
Ron slammed the butt of the gun he was holding to the left side of Sure-Shot's head, causing a small gash on her left temple.
Acrobat's eyes saw the blood dripping from her fiancée's head, and screamed, "I'm going to tear you to shreds!" She went to launch herself at Ron. But before she could move, Ron swung the gun, aiming it at Acrobat's face. His eyes roamed over Acrobat's and Sure-Shot's bodies, and said, "Too bad we got off on the wrong foot. I could go for either one, or both of you."
"Are you insane!?" Acrobat asked. "I'm threatening you with bodily harm, after you hit my fiancée with your gun! And you have the gall to make a pass at us!?"
Anne balled up her right paw into a tight fist and let it fly into Ron's face, as she yelled, "That is another reason why I'm breaking things off! You never could keep your eyes on me alone!"
Surprisingly enough, Anne was strong enough to send Ron to the floor.
But before he could retaliate, Sniper took careful aim at his right elbow and fired a single shot. While Kunoichi let her shiroken fly into his right tricep.
Ron screamed in pain as he dropped his gun to the floor. Where he was swarmed over by the Enforcers, who took him into custody.
Now that she was safe, Anne ran over to Johnny. She pushed Weaver out of the way and as she stroked the fur on his right cheek, she asked, "Why would you do something like that, Johnny? You could have been killed."
Johnny really liked the feeling of her fingers on his cheek. Despite being shot, he took her paw in his, brought it to his mouth, and gave it a kiss. "I'd do anything for you Anne. Now that Ron is going to be going away, for a long while, will you go out with me, and let me show you, how a queen should be treated?"
Anne already knew, Johnny had feelings for her. But she was dating Ron at the time, and would not date two toms simultaneously. "You think you can treat my like royalty, Johnny?"
He smiled at her, and answered, "I know I can, Queen Anne. Let me prove to you, I'm not like Ron. I want you to be yourself, at all times. If you want a night of simple conversation, I'll gladly bring you dinner, and spend the night, talking with you, without a single complaint. I promise, every minute I spend with you will be cherished."
Anne leaned forward, kissed his cheek, and said, "I'll gladly go out with you. Hope you aren't all talk?"
Johnny took a risk, and pulled her into a passionate but brief kiss, then said, "Hope that proves I'm not all talk, Anne?"
"Definitely, not all talk," she said, then licked her lips and kissed him again.
Weaver crouched down next to Havoc, and said, "He's going to be her loyal servant, and he's going to love it. "
Sniper climbed down the ladder to the rest of SWAT, while Kunoichi secured the holster in her boot that held her toys.
A senior officer walked up to the ladies, and said, "Nice work incapacitating him, ladies."
Both Kunoichi and Sniper said, "Thank you."
Sniper turned and faced Kunoichi and said, "It was my shot that disarmed him, not your tiny star!"
"That's laughable. My shiroken caused him to let go of the gun, not your lucky shot," Kunoichi said.
"Lucky Shot!? I can put a bullet through a golf ball at 150 yards, dead center! I doubt you can claim the same!" Sniper said, placing her paws on her hips.
"I admit, I'm not as good with a rifle as you are, Sniper," Kunoichi stated.
Sniper smiled, thinking she won. But then Kunoichi said, "I'm much better, and accurate with my 'Toys,"
Than you are with your rifle."
While Kunoichi and Sniper argued over who actually disarmed Ron. Weaver turned to Havoc, and asked, "You know them better than I do, are they always this stubborn?"
"You haven't seen the worst of it. Wait until you meet Whirlwind. She and Caliber are even worse than those two," Havoc said.
