CHAPTER 6.

3 days had passed and Kairi was making a full recovery. Chance and Jake did much better of disguising their swap from everyone, but still received odd expressions from them. They also did much better in each other's seats when danger reared its ugly head in the city.

However, there were downfalls. Jake couldn't fit into the small spaces of the Turbokat and had to take Chance's job of refueling the engines, Chance couldn't load the heavy missiles by himself and had to take Jake's job of getting into the jet's small spaces to fix things.

There were also cases of dizzy spells possibly a side effect of the ray. But they just shook those downfalls off and continued to live their lives. It was 6:32 PM and the three were watching the news, there was a traffic accident at 4th street, a report about the new line of fall fashions, and Dr. Sinian revealing the identity of the new fossil.

"Man, I can hardly wait to see it." Kairi said.

"Me too." Jake replied.

Suddenly a report came on about a device being rebuilt and a familiar picture appeared.

"Uh oh, it's that gadget Hard Drive tried to steal." Chance said.

"That can't be good, and I just figured out what it can do." Jake replied.

"What?" Chance questioned confusingly.

"That device can short circuit high-tech alarm systems in any building with valuables using high-pitched frequencies, but it has to be aimed into the building satellite dish in order for it to work. In Hard Drive's hands, that's wicked bad news."

Suddenly, faint flashbacks began going through Kairi's mind. She saw a machine resembling a fridge, a satellite dish with a round red thing in the middle, and buttons and monitors flashed before her eyes.

"THAT'S IT!!!" She yelled suddenly.

The two kats jumped from the volume of her voice.

"Geeze, what gives Kai?" Chance asked.

"I just remembered what the machine that switched you looks like."

"What?!" Both the kats said.

"Yes, it's all clear to me now. The machine resembles a fridge, has a satellite dish on top, and has monitors and buttons."

"Awesome, now we can return to normal." Chance said.

"But we have to stop Hard Drive as well. If he finds out that device has been rebuilt, he'll try to steal it again." Kairi noted.

"Then we'll just go to Pumadyne before he does and take care of two things in one night." Chance replied.

"Then we'd better get on it right away." Jake said. "Are you up to this Kairi?"

"Are you kidding? I haven't had any excitement in days!" Kairi enthusiastically said.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's get going." Chance said.

Later that night, the heroic trio arrived at Pumadyne without anyone noticing. The SWAT Kats hid the Turbokat in the thick brushes and rendezvoused with Sky Surfer at the chain link fence. They cut a hole in the fence with their lasers and crept in, they scaled the wall to the roof and entered the building through the roof exit.

"We're in." T-Bone whispered.

"We're not in the clear yet T-Bone." Razor replied.

He took a small canister out of one of his pockets and sprayed the hallway, reviling a slew of infrared beams. The trio had to jump through the safe spaces to get to the other side of the hallway.

Outside, a guard was patrolling the outer perimeter when he heard a branch snap in the bushes. He turned around quickly and shinned his flashlight at the shaking bushes.

"Somebody there?!" He called out.

The bushes shook again and a raccoon ran out, startling the guard in the process.

"Damn raccoons!" The guard snarled.

Just then he was electrocuted from a far distance and collapsed into unconsciousness, Hard Drive jumped down from a tree and walked by the unconscious guard.

"This just gets easier every time." He said.

Back in the building, the trio had made it to the room where they first encountered Hard Drive, but the door was locked. Razor picked the lock and carefully opened the door making sure there were no alarms on the other side. He signaled it was clear and they walked in as Razor closed the door.

"There it is." Sky Surfer said.

She pointed to a large machine with a satellite dish, monitors and buttons, just like she described it.

"Are you sure that's it?" T-Bone asked.

"I'm positive." Sky Surfer replied.

The trio approached the machine and Razor hacked into the monitor.

"Amazing, this technology is capable of altering brain waves and transferring minds through electro static pulses." He said astoundingly.

"We don't want to know how it works Razor, we want to find the reverse process." T-Bone replied.

"Oh, right."

The kat searched through the components until he found something they needed.

"Bingo, reverse process." He said.

Suddenly the screen flashed password in black bold letters.

"Are you shitting me up the ass?! It wants a password just to access the process?!" T-Bone said angrily.

"It doesn't look that bad, the password is only composed of 5 numbers." Sky Surfer said observing the box with 5 dashes in it.

"But there's like a trillion 5 number combinations, it could take all night to figure it out." T-Bone complained.

"Luckily we don't need to guess. I can hack the central processor for the password." Razor said.

A computer probe cord emerged from his Glovatrix and he plugged it into the machine.

"It's working, it should only take about 20 seconds."

"It better hurry, Hard Drive could show up at any moment." Sky Surfer said.

"Got it." Razor said.

The cord unhooked from the machine and snaked back into Razor's Glovatrix.

"So do we have the correct password Ace?" T-Bone asked.

"Yep, right here." Razor said tapping the monitor on the Glovatrix.

The other kats looked at the screen and puzzled expressions soon followed, the numbers on the screen said, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

"That's it?" T-Bone said idiotically.

"That's the stupidest, most predictable password I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would use as an E-mail login!" Sky Surfer said infuriated.

"Who cares? At least we got the password. Now it's time for Sky Surfer to take it from here." Razor said.

"About time I got a piece of this." The heroine replied.

The two SWAT Kats stood in the spot where they were first hit by the ray as Sky Surfer put in the password, the screen flashed access approved and the machine started humming.

"Ok boys, brace yourselves!" Sky Surfer warned.

Suddenly there was a power surge and the machine shut down and restarted.

"That's not a good sign." The she-kat/human muttered.

"Hurry Kai, put the password in again!" Razor said.

Sky Surfer frantically retyped the password just before the door burst into staticy pieces and the techno punk entered the room.

"What?! You three again?! Why can't you all just stay out of my business?!" Hard Drive said angrily.

"Hey, can you wait a couple minutes? We're kinda in the middle of something right now." Sky Surfer said in an unpleasant tone.

"I didn't come here to wait for anything! I came here to reclaim that device…and to get payback for what you did to my suit a while back!" The cyber punk said.

"Well you're going to have to wait your turn until we finish what we're doing!" The heroine snapped.

"Shut your yap trap and hand over that device you little c(BLEEP)t!!"

T-Bone and Razor shrank back with big frightened eyes as a dark cold aura filled the room, a ball of imaginary flames surrounded Sky Surfer as she stood there violently shaking and her rage meter shooting shy high.

"Well what are you waiting for?! Let me have it c(BLEEP)t!" Hard Drive shouted.

The she-kat/human shrieked in explosive anger and attacked Hard Drive like a rabid animal, blood, fur, and electrical shockings followed shortly. The two SWAT Kats were too focused on shielding their eyes from the intensive violence that they didn't notice the ray began to glow.

The same light suddenly shot out and enveloped the kats, they cringed in pain as the energy shot through them. The light then faded and both kats dropped to their knees panting for air. T-Bone opened his eyes and grinned as he saw his own stripped arms in his view, Razor smiled as he saw his caramel colored paws as well.

"T-Bone it worked, we're back to normal." The smaller SWAT Kat said.

"About time." T-Bone replied.

They turned their attentions back to the two brawling kats just in time to see Sky Surfer knee Hard Drive in the balls, the cyber punk stumbled back against the wall clutching his crotch in pain.

"Hey Sky Surfer!" Razor said.

"What is it?" The heroine panted, turning towards the two toms.

"The reverse process worked, we're back to normal." T-Bone said.

"Oh thank god, this nightmare is finally over!" Sky Surfer sighed in relief.

"LOOK OUT!!" Razor suddenly yelled.

But the warning came too late and Sky Surfer was knocked over the head by Hard Drive holding a steel pipe and "collapsed" on the floor. The two SWAT Kats rushed to aid her, but stopped dead in their tracks when Hard Drive pointed his dangerously sparking fingers at the female.

"You two make one wrong move and I'll zap this bitch into next Tuesday!" He warned.

T-Bone and Razor stood frozen to their spots with infuriated expressions, they couldn't get near Hard Drive without risking Sky Surfer's life.

"Now I ain't going to tell you this again, hand over the device without a fight and no one gets hurt."

Suddenly a leg sweeped under Hard Drive's feet, causing him to drop the pipe before he hit the floor. Just then Sky Surfer seized the pipe and got to her feet triumphantly and completely unharmed.

"What?! I thought I caved your skull in!" Hard Drive said in shock as he struggled to sit up.

Sky Surfer snickered and tapped her helmet with the tip of the pipe.

"Joke's on you Hard Drive, I'm wearing a helmet. You on the other hand…are not."

The techno punk's eyes widened in horror as an evil smile creeped across the female's mouth and realized what she was thinking of doing.

"Oh fuck me." Hard Drive squeaked just before Sky Surfer delivered the pipe across his head.

Minutes later, the Enforcers arrived and found Hard Drive tied up and suspended from the ceiling, his surge coat on the floor, a bandage on his head, and a sign taped to his forehead that said 'Arrest Me'.

Feral scowled at the scene before him knowing that the SWAT Kats and their little sidekick did this, he wasn't too pleased but at least Hard Drive was now in custody. The trio had just arrived back at the hanger and gotten back into their normal clothes.

"Yeah, sure feels good to be back in my own body again." Chance said as he stretched his arms.

"You said it Chance." Jake replied.

"I'm just glad this is all over with and things can get back to the way they were." Kairi said.

"Yeah, I don't think I could've taken another day being Jake." The big tom said.

"Even if we had to Chance, I could still kick your tail on the obstacle course." Jake said to him.

"Is that a challenge buddy?"

"You bet!"

"Guys, it's pretty late, I think we should just"

The two kats completely ignored Kairi and rushed out to the course, the human smiled and shook her head. Yep, things were defiantly getting back to normal.
