I'm really sorry that this took so long to get out everyone. I just had a little trouble getting from Point A to Point B in a few parts. But enough of my yammering, you just really want to see the chapter don't you. Well, here it is the one you've all been waiting for.

I don't own Swat Kats in any way. They belong to Hanna-Barbera. I only own my OCs.

Legend for this chapter:

"This"- is normal speech.

"This"- is radio speech.

Date: March 28, 2012 5:00 p.m.

Location: Benson household

Okay…something weird is going on around here. The Bensons have had these looks of pleasure on their faces for the past two weeks. And with each passing day their looks are getting creepier and creepier by the minute. I don't know if I should be scared that they're up to something dreadful, or worried that something is going to befall me. My gut feeling says it's a little bit of both.

And it's not only them; Will has been acting out of sorts as well. He's been having these looks of frustration plastered on his face and keeps going to the office every single chance he gets. Each day I've always asked what was wrong and every time he says it's nothing to worry about. Yeah, if it's nothing to worry about how come he keeps skipping out on our DVD nights? This is why I'm gonna confront him in the office today to find out what is going on.

Just as I'm about to enter, I hear Will give out a frustrated shout. "Damn it! Why won't the buyer just give up already?"

Buyer…what buyer? What the heck is he talking about?

"Hey Will, what's going –?" I started but cut myself off as I entered. There was Will hunched over the keyboard with a look of disappointment on his face. But that wasn't what caught my attention. Right there in the middle of the current website's page was a picture of my jet, the word "SOLD" typed in big bold letters. Underneath the picture the words "Refund Denied" flashed on and off.

"Will?" I asked in a quiet tone as he looked up at me. "Is this some kind of joke?"

"I'm afraid it isn't Amber."

"Wh..What?"

"The Bensons put your jet up for sale two weeks ago…..and someone bought it. The buyer will be at the hangar in an hour to claim it," he replies sorrowfully.

No…this can't be happening, it just can't. The Lightning Strike is the last connection I have to my parents. If it goes away who knows what will happen to me? I don't think I even want to know. Besides, the jet is my property not theirs. What right do they have to sell it when they don't even own it! It's my jet damn it!

As you can see, my mood can go to a complete 180 when something close to me is involved.

"WHY THOSE TWO-FACED, SICK MINDED, TWISTED SON OF A –UMPH!" I yelled but was cut off by Will slamming his hand over my mouth.

"Calm down will ya? Yelling at this point won't do you any good."

I yanked his hand off my mouth and replied. "Calm down? How the heck can I calm down when my jet was just sold?!"

"I know you're upset, but you got to understand I've been trying my best to get it back."

"Yeah, and I see how that's been going for ya," I replied while pointing at the computer screen. "So what do you plan on doing now huh?"

"Well since Plan A didn't work will have to go to Plan B," he said while shutting off the computer.

I scoffed. "Oh really? Then pray tell brother, what's Plan B?"

Will walked over to the entrance were a pair of book bags and duffle bags were waiting. I recognized those, they're the ones we packed months ago. Why would he bring them out now?

He picked up the ones I packed and tossed them over to me. "Plan B is….for us to get out of this hell hole!"

I catch my tossed bags and immediately relief flows through me. "You mean….?"

Will smirks as he picks up his own bags. "Let's fly sister."

##########

It took a little while but we finally made it to the Lightning Strike's hangar. Almost immediately Will takes our bags and starts to load them in the jet while I slipped my flight suit over my clothes. As soon as that was done we climbed in and I began the usual start-up to take off. I was just about to pull us out to freedom when….

"HEY!"

"YOU LITTLE BASTARDS, GET OUT OF THERE!"

I looked up towards the sounds of the voices, and immediately wished I hadn't. Because right there running towards the hangar, was Nathan and Maggie.

No no no no! I thought as dread began to fill me. This can't be happening! We were so close to getting out of here and now…..

My train of thought would've continued, if it weren't for Will opening the hatch and jumping out of the cockpit.

"Will…what are you doing? We have to get out of here," I pleaded.

"You go," he replied.

"What?"

"I can distract them long enough for you to fly out of here."

"Are you asking me to go without you?"

"….Yes."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Will, who has been with me ever since I was taken in; who has helped me get out of my depressions in more ways than one; who has been the best brother I could ever have, was asking me to leave him? No…..I can't. If I do he'll be at the mercy of the Benson's. There is no way in hell I'm leaving my brother behind.

"But…if you stay behind, won't they…?"

"I know what's at risk if I get caught. This is why you have to leave."

"I'm not leaving you here!" I said as my tears began to fall.

"Damn it Amber you have to go!" He shouted. "I can handle whatever punishment they send my way, but you won't be able to. If they catch you the next punishment they send out will probably end up killing ya! I couldn't bear to see my only sister dead!"

"B..But."

"No buts just go!"

With a heavy heart I closed the hatch, finished up the takeoff procedures, and pulled my jet out flying to freedom.

As the distance between up got further and further apart, I turned my head around to look at him one last time.

Don't worry Will. I'll come back for you someday. I promise.

Normal Pov:

Don't worry Amber. As soon as I take care of things here, I'll find a way to catch up to you. I promise, Will thought while watching the jet get further and further away.

"YOU!" Nathan yelled.

Will ducked just in the nick of time as Nathan's fist swung over him.

"You little bastard," Nathan ranted as he looked at Will with fury. "You and that bitch stepsister of yours have ruined everything for the last time."

"Actually, it's you and Maggie who's ruined everything for the last time. I think it's time you get a little payback," Will replied as he cracked his knuckles.

Nathan just laughed. "What are you going to do boy? You won't fight back. You can't and you never will."

"That's no longer true. Cause if you haven't noticed the one person who's been holding me back is no longer here. This means I don't have to hold back anymore!"

With that said, Will pounced on Nathan and sent him into a nearby hangar wall.

You see, Will always had the skills to fight back. And he was already to use them on either Nathan or Maggie. However, if he even raised one fist against the Bensons, then the next punishment they sent out on Amber would be more severe than ever. In order to prevent that from happening, Will could never fight back.

Now, with Amber a safe distance away from them, Will no longer had a restraint to hold him back. He could finally let out all the pain, anger and frustrations on one of the two people who made their lives a living nightmare. And he was going to make sure that Nathan never bothered them ever again.

Nathan shoved Will off of him an aims his fist at Will's face. Will blocks the punch and aims his own fist directly at Nathan gut. To retaliate, Nathan grabs Will's arm and sends him flying into a nearby metal shelf. The scrap parts on the shelf topple over and nearly cover Will, but he rolls out of the way. He doesn't get far until Nathan sends a hard kick directly to Will's spine.

"You're pathetic when it comes to fighting," Nathan sneered as he watched Will curled up in pain. "My skills are more advance and powerful than yours will ever be! You could never beat me and you never will."

"Yeah…well….guess again!" Will shouted as he pounced on Nathan and sent them both falling to the floor.

As soon as Will gets a good hold on Nathan, he repeatedly punches him in the face. Letting out all of his pain and anger for the past 11 years.

"This is for Amber!" a direct punch to Nathan's nose. "For me!" this punch was sent to the right eye. "And for all those times you put us through hell!" this one was directed to the side of Nathan's face.

Will kept this up for a while longer. Every punch he sent reflected everything that he and Amber were put through. It wasn't until he fully knocked Nathan unconscious did he stop.

"You have…no idea how long…I've waited to do that," Will panted as he stood up. "And now I'm glad that I did."

Will turned around to try and find his own form of transportation so he could catch up to Amber. He didn't get far until he felt a dreadful warmth of pain in his chest. Will looked at his chest and right there in the middle was a burning hole. From this hole a deep crimson liquid began to flow out, staining his shirt instantly.

Desperately, Will applied pressure to the wound to stop the flow. But no matter how hard he pressed, it wouldn't stop. As more of the liquid poured out, Will slowly began to kneel on the floor as he got weaker and weaker.

"And you have no idea how long I've waited to do that to one of you brats. Now I'm glad to see how it turned out," a voice said with pleasure.

Will slowly turned his head around to see who the voice belong to. And right there at the hangar's entrance, twirling a gun in her hand was Maggie! Will had completely forgotten all about her!

"Y…You!" Will weakly shouted out.

"Yes me," Maggie replied as she walked up to Will and kicked him in the side sending him to the floor in pain.

As soon as he hit the floor, Will cried out in anguish. The sound of his pain left a pleasant sound in her ears.

"Now, I bet you're wondering if you're going to die all alone," she said with a wicked grin. "But don't you worry William! Your precious Amber will be joining you in death soon….when we finally get our hands on her that is!"

"N…No!" Will pleaded.

"Oh yes! Now, you enjoy your last few moments of life. We've got a girl to find. Ta-ta!" Maggie waved at him while picking up an unconscious Nathan and taking him back to their vehicle.

As black spots began to dance in his vision, Will desperately tried to hold on to consciousness. But no matter how hard he gripped, it always seemed to slip out of his grasp. This sent him further and further into darkness.

Amber….I'm so sorry. It looks….like I..won't be…able to catch…up to you…after all.

White light danced across his vision…then black.

SKSKSKSKSK

Meanwhile at the same time – Amber's Pov:

I shouldn't have left Will behind. Both of us would be safe if he just came along. There was still enough time for him to climb back in and for us to take off…..wasn't there? Would Nathan and Maggie already catch us by now if Will didn't stay behind? Ugh! This is all so confusing I don't even know what to think anymore! I thought while piloting my jet a safe distance away.

As you can see, I'm still regretting the decision of leaving my brother behind. I still wish that he would've come along with me instead of being a distraction. This lead to all kinds of "what if" scenarios in my mind. And not all of them were pretty.

However, my train of thoughts was cut off when I heard an odd humming sound. Strangely enough, it was coming from my scanner. When I looked at it to see what it was tracking, an odd jumble of numbers was all I could see.

"Okay….what's with this thing?" I asked while tapping the screen to see if it would revert back. It didn't. If anything, the humming just got louder.

"Alright, just what is going –?"

FLASH!

All of a sudden, this bright white light flashed all around. The force of the light caused me to go blind for a couple of minutes. When my vision cleared I was shocked beyond belief of what I was seeing.

Somehow it looked like I ended up in some type of portal! An assortment of bright colors swirled all around me with lightning bolts striking all around.

In my state of panic, I tried to turn around and get out of there….but it didn't work! The only thing that maneuver caused was my jet to be further pulled in.

While I was trying every which way to get out, I failed to notice one of the lightning bolts coming my way. It hit the jet dead on which sent a shock straight through me.

Not only did the strike nearly end me it also caused my jet to go through the portal faster than ever. The speed at which it was going was so great; I could no longer hang on.

What's…going to..happen…to me….now?

The white light flashed across my vision one last time…then all I saw was black.

Meanwhile in another dimension entirely – Normal Pov:

"Razor, jump! I'll blast the bomb as soon as you're free!" called out a worried kat known as T-Bone.

Moments ago, he and his partner Razor had gotten word that the most notorious criminal in Mega Kat City had gotten his hands on some nuclear fuel rods. They found out that he was planning on using them to power up a bomb that would completely destroy the city.

When they caught up to the villain's ship, Razor climbed aboard to try to stop the bomb from launching. This immediately failed when odd creatures known as the creeplings stop his plans in its tracks. This is turn caused the bomb to be launched…..with Razor still on it.

As the bomb continued to fall, Razor replied to his partner as calmly as he could. "No can do, T-Bone. Even at this distance it'll explode for sure and destroy the city. I've got to try to disarm this baby right now or everyone's a goner for sure."

Even though he didn't want to leave his partner behind, T-Bone knew Razor was right. If the bomb didn't get disarmed soon everything would be reduced to a burning rumble. Their duty to protect the city as the Swat Kats would've all been for nothing.

"Any last requests buddy? Just in case."

"Yeah. Get Dark Kat!" Razor replied as he disappeared into the cloud bank.

When he loses sight of Razor, T-Bone turned the Turbokat around to continue chasing Dark Kat.

As Dark Kat is making his getaway, he notices the Turbokat coming up behind him.

"So, you think you can sneak up on me Swat Kat? Well, guess again," he cackled while activating his special surprise.

You see, Dark Kat only needed half of the nuclear fuel rods to power up the bomb. The other half he used to power up a device he has worked on for some time. This device, when fired at the nearest target, would pull them through to an unknown world. Leaving them stranded with no way to come back. With one Swat Kat about to be blown up and another about to be sent to another dimension, no one would be able to stop his plans ever again.

A white laser was fired from Dark Kat's ship just barely missing T-Bone. Behind him it creates some type of portal that is slowly, but surely, pulling him in.

"Holy kats! Something tells me I shouldn't go through that thing!" he cried out while trying to get away from the portal. But no matter how hard he tried to pull away, he just kept getting closer. If he wasn't so focused on trying to get away he would've saw the scanners picking up on something.

Something or someone was already coming through.

A white light flashed completely blinding the area. When T-Bone's sight cleared he noticed that the portal was gone and he was still near Mega Kat City.

"Okay, what the heck was that all about?"

T-Bone's question was soon answered when an unknown jet flew right beside him. What surprised him more than the jet coming out from nowhere was the fact that it looked nearly identical to the Turbokat!

"What in the kats name is that?!"

SKSKSKSKSK

Amber's Pov:

Oh... what the heck just happened? I thought while slowly coming to.

Apparently it looked like I was finally out of that portal. But whether if I was still at home or not was a mystery.

"Unknown…thi….eral. Id…..iately."

Huh?

"I….eat. This…Comma….al. Iden…self….immediately."

Okay….either I was still too out of it, or my radio got damaged when the jet was struck. Probably a little bit of both.

When I fully came to, I looked around my surroundings to find out where I was. To my shock nothing seemed familiar! It wasn't until two jets, one black and one silver flew by that something started to click.

Is it just me, or do those jets look familiar?

"….the jet Feral. Shouldn't you be focusing on Dark Kat!?" a voice yelled from the radio snapping me out of my thoughts

"Don't tell me how to do my job Swat Kat! I know what I'm doing!" another one replied.

Feral?...Swat Kat?...Dark Kat? Why do these names sound so familiar?

As I tried to get my bearings and figure out what was going on, the two-sided conversation continued further.

"Back off Swat Kat! The Enforcers will handle this!"

"You back off! It's my tag!" the second voice replied as missiles flew by the three of us.

Did I just fly into a war zone of some sort?

"Steele, return fire!"

A third voice joined the conversation. "I…I don't know about this sir. I've never been in a real air fight before! I think I'm going to be sick!" he yelled as he began to make retching sounds.

….Okay…did that guy just throw up in his jet?

"You wanted my job?"

Apparently the "Feral" thinks the same thing.

As the silver jet and the black jet; which I swear still looked familiar; continued to fight for the lead, the argument still went on.

"Get out of my way Swat Kat! I'm taking Dark Kat personally!"

"It might be déjà vu city again, but you're not crowding me out this time!"

With that, the black jet pulls forward leaving the silver jet in its trail of smoke.

"Hey! You think you're gonna pull out of here leaving me stranded with this slacker?! I don't think so blackie!" I yelled while hitting my accelerator to catch up to it.

As you can see, I clearly wanted answers to what was going on around here. And I was going to get them no matter what.

When I finally caught up I noticed there was a red aircraft right in front of us. It also looked familiar, but my mind was screaming at me "danger!" and "not safe!" which allowed me to nearly freeze up in panic.

While my mind was in a frenzy I accidently activated the missile launch system, causing a few to zoom off in the aircraft's general direction. Unfortunately, the black jet decided to fire off a few as well. It wasn't long before both groups collided creating an explosion….which completely missed the aircraft.

"Oh crud…..please don't tell me I just screwed something up."

That would've been the case…..if something didn't just speed out of the smoke right then and there. To my shock my missiles attack had somehow combined with the others! They created an arc of electricity that surrounded them, causing them to go faster. Since when could they do that?!

When the combined attack came in contact with the red aircraft the only thing that was left in its wake was the now falling cockpit. It appears that the missiles destructive power got amped up to.

"Okay, would you explain what the heck just happened," the pilot of the black jet asked.

"I…..I have no clue!" I replied.

The pilot would've asked more if it wasn't for a green laser being fired from the long destroyed aircraft. Its target…..the black jet!

Without thinking, I rammed the Lightning Strike into the black jet veering it off course. In turn this caused the laser to hit me instead. Probably not the greatest idea on my part.

"Oh come on! This is so not my day!" I yelled as my jet spiraled out of control towards an unknown city.

SKSKSKSKSK

Normal Pov:

There were two words that could describe how T-Bone felt right now….absolutely confused. First, this Turbokat look-a-like comes out of a portal and decides to follow him as he's chasing Dark Kat. Second, the pilot's missiles had somehow combined with his own nearly destroying said villain's vessel. And third, they took a hit for him. Normally stuff like this should make sense around the city, but today it didn't.

"It's too bad Razor wasn't here to see all that. He probably wouldn't have believed me if I told it to him."

Speaking of….

"Hey T-Bone, how's it going up there?"

T-Bone's confusion was immediately replaced with relief as his partner's voice came over the radio.

"Razor! Mission accomplished. I guess you must've stopped the bomb from destroying the city."

"Basically yeah, but you better pick me up at Enforcer Headquarters before Feral comes and sticks up with another bill."

"I'm on my way, but it'll have to be a fast pick up since we've got a little emergency on our hands," T-Bone replied as he quickly headed towards Razor's coordinates.

"What do you mean?" Razor asked. Just then the sound of a failing jet engine filters over the radio. "Never mind, I see it."

Amber's Pov:

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it and double damn it!" I cursed while my jet continued to spiral out of control.

For the past few minutes I have tried everything to slow down the Lightning Strike's decent, but to no avail. I found out that the laser had damaged a few of the jet's thrusters. I'm surprised that not all of them were damaged in the attack. Anyway, back to my problem.

"C'mon girl! You've never failed anyone in my family before and don't you dare start with me now!" I pleaded as I slowly started to pull up. Unfortunately, this did me no good as the ground continued to come closer, signaling my soon to be death.

Oh crud! This is it, I'm going to die! I thought while closing my eyes, waiting for the inevitable.

Instead…it didn't come. All I felt was a sudden jerk.

Huh? Wh..What happened?

I opened my eyes to see the ground a foot away from my jet. Then I turned my head around and to my shock, the pilot of the black jet had saved me. It looks like they used a grappling hook of some kind to stop my decent.

Th…They saved me. Oh thank goodness! Ugh!

With the near-death experience still fresh in my mind, I passed out.

SKSKSKSKSK

Normal Pov:

"Phew, that was a close one. Cutting it a little close huh?" T-Bone asked Razor as he landed the unknown silver jet.

"Worry about that later T-Bone. We've gotta see if the pilot's okay," Razor replied as the Turbokat landed.

As soon as they were on solid ground, both kats jumped out and ran over the other jet. While Razor climbed up to the cockpit to try and find the outside hatch release, T-Bone gave the jet a look over. Despite the damages it received earlier the jet was very impressive in the Swat Kat's eyes.

"Man, I can't wait to take this baby out for a test flight," he said while giving the jet an affectionate pat.

"Well you won't be able to if the pilots dead. Give me a hand here."

T-Bone soon joined his partner and together they found the release to open the hatch. As soon as it opened….what they saw shocked them both.

"Another Swat Kat!? I thought we were the only ones around here," T-Bone exclaimed.

Even though the pilot wore the same flight suit as they did, despite the colors being faded, Razor could tell something was off. This was proven true when he saw the pilot's hands. No fur was present on them and the "claws" had been dulled to flat stubs. What shocked him the most was that instead of having four digits like all kats had, both hands had five?

"I don't think they're even a kat at all buddy."

Curious, they both removed the pilot's helmet and air mask to get a closer look. For the second time that day, they both were in for a shock.

"What in the kats name is that thing?!" T-Bone exclaimed.

The "thing" was actually a she due to her feminine features. No fur or whisker marks were present on her face, reveling pale skin. Her nose was a small arrow shape and not the familiar kat shape they were used to. No ears were present on the top of her head, but instead they were on the side covered by dishwater blond hair that reached her shoulders. The only thing that caught their attention the most was the long scar on the side of her face.

"Beats me buddy," Razor replied as he brushed a few bangs out of her eyes.

This simple action caused the girl to wake and slowly stand up. That wasn't the best idea since she was still wobbly on her feet. She would've nearly fall out of the cockpit if it wasn't for T-Bone catching her at the last minute.

"Whoa, easy there kid," he said while straitening her out. "You nearly almost crashed there. Might want to take it easy for a while."

"Okay…I will. Thanks for saving me earlier. By the way, who are…..you?" the girl asked as she got her first look at the kats.

She had frozen up in shock; her eyes wide as dinner plates while her mouth opened and closed every few seconds.

She was starting to not look so good.

"Uh…are you okay miss?" Razor asked while bringing his hand/paw closer to her.

This turned out to be a bad idea.

"AAAAAAAAH!" she screamed as she backed away from them. This in turn caused her to topple out of the cockpit and fall to the ground hard. "Oof! Ow that hurt!"

T-Bone and Razor gave each other confused looks.

Well…that could've gone better.

SKSKSKSKSK

Amber's Pov:

No way…absolutely no freaking way. Those two can't be real. They just can't be.

At this time I have no idea if what I saw was real or something my mind came up with. Because there is no way that I just met the Swat Kats right now. They're nothing more than characters on a TV show, so they can't be real. Even though I kept telling myself this, my surroundings told me otherwise.

While slowly standing up, I noticed that my jet had landed in a park somewhere in the middle of a city. And right there a few feet away from me was a sign the said: "Mega Kat City National Park." Busy streets surrounded the park with kats of all shapes and colors cautiously going about their business.

With the small number of kats in this area and the fact I just met the two famous vigilanties seconds ago, really added up to one thing. That portal had somehow transported me to the Swat Kats dimension!

A loud thumping noise sounded out from behind me, cutting my site-seeing short. I turned around to see Razor and T-Bone had jumped from the cockpit to make their way over towards me. Immediately my whole being began to fill up with worry.

What was I going to explain to them? I couldn't just flat-out say that back home they're nothing more than TV characters. That could go wrong for me in so many ways. My best bet right now is to act confused and hope for the best.

"Who are you guys? And for that matter, how did I get here?" I asked while slowly backing away.

Razor calmly held up his hands. "Easy there, we don't want to start something. My name is Razor and this is my partner T-Bone.

I already know who you guys are.

"As for how you got here it looks like Dark Kat pulled you out of that freaky portal, bringing you here to Mega Kat City," T-Bone explained while giving me a look over. "By the way, what the heck are you?"

I gave them a confused look. "I'm a human. Haven't you guys ever seen one before?"

"Human?" they both replied with confusion.

Our conversation was cut off when we all heard Feral's voice on the radio. "Attention all Enforcers, an unidentified aircraft has landed in the park. I want all squadrons in the area surround it and bring the pilot to headquarters for questioning. Do not let it escape!"

There was no way I was gonna let the Enforcers capture me. If they succeeded who knows what could happen. They may end up sending me to Pumadyme to be experimented on. And there was no way in hell I was going to let that happen.

Quickly, I ran back into the cockpit and began the takeoff procedures. Ignoring the damage warnings the HUD sent out I turned on the engine and flew out of there.

As I got further and further away from the park I glanced at the Swat Kats one last time.

Goodbye guys, I hope we'll meet up again someday.

##########

I wasn't long before a squadron of Enforcer choppers finally caught up to me. Thinking quickly I tried to lose them in a chase through the city. Unfortunately, the only thing that did was close the distance between us, giving the Enforcers a clear shot if they decide to shoot. It was at that moment that the HUD screen decided to give me more bad news.

WARNING: Thrusters 2 and 3 damaged by 45%. Main thruster damaged by 80%. Estimated flight time till emergency shutdown: 20 minutes. Engage landing procedures immediately or crash is immanent.

"Crud! I can't land now or I'll get caught!"

To my surprise, the warning faded away replaced by something else.

Engaged escaping procedure? Yes or No?

Having no idea what was going on, I decided to go along with it. "Yes."

Escaping procedure engaging. Finding targets….

From below my jet, a weapon came out which bore a striking resemblance to the Turbokat's cement machine gun. The base of the weapon was light silver while the turrets were a dark blue.

Okay….? Since when did the Lightning Strike get that?

Targets found. Firing immobilizer.

Immobilizer? What?!

As the turrets began to fire, short white lasers came out, striking the choppers dead on. Worried that they would all explode I turned my head around to see the damages done. To my surprise, nothing was destroyed. Instead the laser shut off their engines somehow, forcing them to land on nearby rooftops.

Targets immobilized. Shutting down escaping procedure.

With that, my new weapon went back in the jet and my flight continued as normal.

"You're just full of surprises aren't ya kid," T-Bone commed over the radio.

I looked to my left to see the Turbokat flying right beside me.

"Yeah, I guess I am aren't I," I replied with a small blush. I was soon snapped out of it when I remembered my company. "Hey, why are you guys following me anyway?"

"Well, we figured you would need some help getting away from the Enforcers. But it seems you took care of that all on your own," Razor replied with a bit of surprise in his voice.

"Would either of you believe I had no idea how I did that?"

Their replies were cut off when my jet gave a sudden jerk and the HUD screen flashed again.

WARNING: Estimated flight time till emergency shutdown: 10 minutes. Engage landing procedures immediately or crash is immanent.

"I know I have to land soon, but where? And even if I do find someplace the Enforcers will just capture me there."

I was so focused on finding a place to land; I didn't even notice T-Bone and Razor giving each other friendly smirks.

"Follow us kid. We know a place where you could lay low for a while," T-Bone said while pulling the Turbokat ahead.

"And a place where you could get your jet fixed up as well," Razor replied.

"I would like that very much thank you," I replied while following right behind them.

##########

A few minutes later we both arrived at the familiar salvage yard. Still keeping up my act of being confused, I contacted them over the radio.

"Uh, guys? This is a scrap yard. How the heck am I going to hide my jet here?"

In response, the secret tunnel opened right in front of us.

"Oh…that's how. Never mind."

Both of us landed our jets in the tunnel and steered them into the secret hangar, just before mine went into shutdown. As soon as they arrived on the first floor, I immediately jumped out and took my surroundings in awe.

I can't believe I'm in the Swat Kat's hangar! Heck, I can't even believe I came with the Swat Kats themselves! This is the best thing that has ever happened to me!

However, my awe moment didn't last long when the reality of the situation came crashing down on me. I was all alone in another dimension. The only friends and family I ever had were stuck back at home. And with the only way I got here possibly destroyed, I had no way of getting back.

In order to make sure I didn't pass out from shock, I sat myself in a nearby chair while laying my head in my hands. I remained there for a couple of minutes trying to get my breathing under control.

As soon as I calmed down, I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see both Swat Kats giving me looks of concern.

"You alright?" Razor asked.

"…..Yeah. It's just taking me a while to realize that everything that happened today was real."

"Heh. Would you believe that we're trying to realize that to?" T-Bone replied.

I laughed a little. "He-he. Hey, since I'm gonna be here for a little while I might as well know my saviors true names. Something tells me the ones you gave me aren't your real ones are they?"

Both kats looked at each other, almost like they were having a silent conversation. It wasn't long before they both shrugged as if to say "Why not? It's not she going to flat-out tell anybody who we really are anyways, giving her situation."

They both removed their helmets and masks, showing me their true identities.

"Names Chance Furlong," Chance replied while giving me a friendly handshake. "And this is my pal Jake Clawson."

"Pleased to meet you," Jake said while shaking my hand next. "Now since we're on a name bias here, mind telling us what yours is?"

I gave the both a friendly smile. "My name is Amber Richardson, and I'm pleased to meet you two as well.

In other words, it's an honor to meet you guys.

A/N: Yeesh, this was a long one. 24 1/2 pages written and 18 pages type. My longest chapter yet, but I have a feeling this won't be the last one. Finally, the Swat Kats have come in at last! Again I'm sorry this nearly took 3 months to get out. I got caught up in some things which pulled me off course. Hopefully the next one won't take as long.

Speaking of chapter six, I have no idea when that one will be out either. Unfortunately, classes will start-up for me again on August 20, making updates a lot slower. However, I will try to get it up before then so you guys can be tied over until chapter seven. If I can't get it up by then, I apologize in advance. So keep an eye out for it.

By the way, can anyone guess what episode Amber arrived in?

Enjoy and don't forget to leave a review.

See ya!
