ME: Okay, here comes the story of Task Force Zero! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. As a warning, though, someone WILL be finished off by the end of the chapter.

"You idiots!" Kitty shouted. "You really think Pigeons just disappear then suddenly end up in cages? Are you really that stupid?"

"Nope," Butch said as he casually aimed his assault rifle at her. "Just show me where your computer is so my techies can shut you down and you'll be interrogated BEFORE your execution!"

"I'm afraid you'll have to get past this one bodyguard I happen to have," Galore purred. "But he just loves making friends!"

There was a distinctive thud, and all of Zero turned to find the robot known only as "Paws."

Kitty had spent a long time building the thing or was just good with inventing stuff in a short amount of time. Why?

The robot had miniguns for arms with grenade launchers rising from his arrms (Yeah turns out according to the Internet cats and dogs have arms as well. Then again this is a fanfic.)

"Oh crud," Diggs muttered. "Desiree, Shovel, step back."

Dutch put a paw on her leaders back, who shrugged it off and did what any good agent would do.

He aimed his weapon and fired. All of his bullets slammed into the target-and bounced off.

"What in the name of milkbones?"

"Oh," Kitty replied, "I don't think any damage was sustained by Paws at all.\

Without warning, two flamethrowers rose out of Paws forearms, both weapons then spitting out fire at the Task Force.

All twelve of the agents rolled or flew out of the area, with two German Shepherds bumping into each other along the way.

"Diggs!" she yelled at him.

"Shoot out his flamethrowers, I know," the male dog replied.

Soon enough both of the weapons shut down for reasons unknown. But before they coul be retracted Diggs and Desiree scored a number of hits on them, removing the chance of being cooked alive.

Paws roared in fury. his spun-up miniguns now firing in the general direction of the couple.

"Zero!" Butch yelled over the radio. "The Ones are keeping him distracted, let's take him down while we still can!"

The eight subordinates he had with him immediately nodded, except for two.

"Wont know how long Paws'll focus on 'em ladies," he began.

"I know that boss, but if Logger and I get to use these EMPs we can temporarily shut him down at least!" Shovel protested.

"They're right Butch!" Catherine yelled.

"Okay, Alpha Two, Beta Four, both of you standby!" the Anatolian Shepherd agreed. "Rest of you lock and load! Everyone waits for my go!"

This time there was universal approval as the two tech specialists readied their weapons while everyone else prepped their firearms.

"For the EMPs," he began, "three, two, one, NOW!"

With that both of the tech specialists fired off the electromagentic pulses. Paws could only pause as he was quite literally stunned.

"He's down, finish him off Zero!" was the order.

At that every single bullet-using weapon was fired with Diggs and Desiree having come out of cover and the techs having grabbed their standard-issue equipment.

With all the blows he was taken Paws was knocked down. A lucky hit got one of his grenade launchers and cooked them all off, taking the robot out for at least a while.

"Don't think we're clear yet," Dutch said as she rose up. "We still have a job to do!"

"And me," a certain bald cat added. Kitty stepped into view with a grenade launcher and took aim at her.

"No!" Butch yelled as he shoved Dutch out of the way. The explosion launched him off the building.

"Well that was-," Kitty began, but she was cut off by sharp discharges of weapons.

"This is for Butch!" Diggs yelled as he ran down the building. Eventually he found the computer Galore was using, an iMac.

"Okay, this thing isn't portable so we can-."

Suddenly all the lights and the desktop shut off.

"Next time you kids outta make these power thingies bulletproof."

ME: Precisely whom said that last line? I know this chapter was kinda rushed and all but don't worry, this isn't the end (yet). Excuse me if it's really THAT bad or anything.

Any ideas on what happened to Kitty? Think Paws wont be a pain anymore?
