Swat Kats Deadly Silence Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own anything accept the plot line for this story. The characters of
Swat Kats are the property of Hanna Babara and the D-Virus belongs to Drew.
"Jake hurry up we got to go." Chance shouted as he scrambled to finish loading up the
bunker below. They had learned that morning that most of Megakat City had been
infected by the new D-Virus and the president had authorized the nuclear sterilization.
"I have never felt so helpless in my life." Jake said as he brought down the refrigerator
on the rotating platform.
"I know I wonder why Callie did not wake us up last night." Chance said.
"Maybe she did not want us to get infected." Jake suggested, "She knew we would be
infected and she wanted us to survive."
"Still even if she did we should have done something to stop this. I mean these kinds of
things happen all the time to us it is not like any of this is new." Chance said as he
climbed up back onto the main level of their apartment home that would soon be
destroyed.
"Well I think that is everything." Jake said as he stared at the new vacant room. "Good
thing we could not sleep last night and brought everything down to the hanger."
"I'll say, I'm just glad this place was built for a nuclear fallout or else we would be toast
since the old truck is basically all but dead." Chance chuckled.
"We could fix it if you want to go into a virus infected town." Jake joked.
"No thanks, I just hope Callie, Felina, and Ann managed to get out of the city." Chance
muttered and sat down on the beat up sofa.
"If they were not infected then I am sure Commander Feral had them sent out of the
city." Jake replied and walked over to the supercomputer. There was a loud knock on
the door causing Chances ears to flick in confusion.
"Who could that possibly be?" Chance asked climbing the ladder and walking to the
front door. Standing on the porch was Felina and Callie both gasping for air and
sweating heavily.
"Callie holy kats what happened to you guys?" Chance asked.
"We were chased by kats that were infected by the D-Virus. I don't know how far ahead
we got from the group but I do not intend on finding out. Do you have any vehicle we
could use?" Felina asked.
"Sorry the truck is dead unless you want to go back and get th parts from town." Chance
suggested.
"No thanks, kats alive we are screwed." Felina said.
"Not yet Chance get them down into the hanger I have to grab something really fast."
Jake said as he climbed up the ladder.
"Go it but hurry Callie and Felina were not alone on their way here." Chance said
leading Callie and Felina to the ladder that lead to the hanger.
"Ladies first," Chance said helping Felina get down on the ladder.
"Holy kats Miss Briggs I think you should see this." Felina shouted. Chance smiled as
he helped Callie the when she got down far enough followed.
"Holy kats," Callie whispered as she and Felina stared at all the gear, weapons and
vehicles that were in storage.
"Surprised to find out that your favorite pair of mechanics were also your favorite pair of
vigilantes?" Chance chuckled as he jumped to the ground.
"How did all this happen?" Callie asked as she walked over to the Turbokat.
"well that is a long story." Chance sighed.
"We have time, come on it cannot be that bad can it?" Callie asked.
"Yeah it is, you might want to make yourselves comfortable." Chance replied.
After the two she kats were seated Chance recounted the tale of how he and Jake
became the Swat Kats. Throughout the whole story Felina and Callie remained quiet
though Chance could tell both of them had a lot of questions. Jake reappeared by the
end of the story holding a box full of tools and inventions that had not been perfected.
"Wow that is quite a story, but I do not know if I can believe it or not. I mean we all know
Feral is a bit bull headed, but something like that sounds like something Steele would
do." Callie said hesitantly.
"Well believe it Miss Briggs because that event did happen. The supreme council was
furious when they heard about what happened and the event turned into a full
investigation." Felina said.
"Really what did the Supreme Council rule?" Jake asked setting his box on the table.
"They ruled that it was indeed your tag and Feral had no right to tell you to stand down.
He was also found guilty of attempted kat slaughter, and damage to public property.
Uncle Ulysses was lucky he only ended up on probation rather than thrown in jail."
Felina said.
"What about the debt we have to pay on the Enforcer building?" Chance asked.
"He did not tell you, they removed the debt from you guys and gave you your jobs back.
Didn't anyone tell you that?" Felina asked.
"No because he would rather befriend Dark Kat before he would let a pair of hot shots
like us back onto the Enforcers." Jake replied as he performed a few keystrokes on the
supercomputer that caused all the doors to the Megawar II bunker to close and seal.
"There that should just about do it. We are going to be down here for a while guys so
get use to being a bit cramped at first."
"Well if you two could survive being stranded here in a broken down salvage yard I am
sure the Deputy Mayor and I can last a few days down here." Felina replied with a wide
grin.
"So now I have a question, did the Enforcers ever discover who created the D-Virus in
the first place?" Jake asked.
"Yes it was a company called Parasol, originally it was thought to be a pharmaceutical
company but as it turn out medicine was not the only thing they were making." Felina
replied as Jake took a seat in his extremely beat up reclining chair.
"Turns out Parasol was also creating and selling bio weapons on the black market and
its president had intended on using the D-Virus to control the entire world." Callie said
shifting slightly.
"Who is the president?" Chance asked.
"David Steele," Felina replied with a contempt look.
"That little weasel I should have guessed." Chance shouted and kicked the wooden
chair he was sitting on over.
"To make matters even worse while we were storming the underground lab Steele
made his escape in one of the Blue Manx's. He also brought some sort of metal
suitcase with him which I have a feeling contains the D-Virus." Felina said with a sigh. A
loud boom echoed from outside catching everyone's attention.
"Sounds like the warheads just went off, now more than ever we need to stay down
here. At least until the nuclear contamination has died down." Jake shouted over
another explosion.
"How long will that be?" Callie asked.
"A while at least a few days at best, even then I think it would still be a bad idea to go
out there." Jake replied sadly and flicked on
"Well that is just great, all these years we have been trying to save Megakat City only to
have it blown up by the president." Felina muttered.
"Se la vi." Jake said with a long sigh.
