The SWAT Kats are owned by Hanna Barbera and the Tremblay Brothers. I own the OCs.
Sorry fur the delay, life got in the way of posting last week.
Caliber and Sensei reached their desired altitude of sixty-seven thousand feet, then Caliber leveled off. She looked down out of the canopy window and said, "Everything seems so small from this altitude." Caliber then turned her head so she could look out over the nose of the jet and saw the setting sun over the horizon. "Its so peaceful up here. I don't want to ever go down."
"I agree Caliber," Sensei said. "I have only seen one other sunset like this before and it was when Master Yoso took me to Japan. We watched the sun set over the Japan Sea and I felt so small as I watched the amazing sight before me." She flicked a few switches on the panel in front of her to start the scan of the compound and the screen in front of her came to life. As she examined the image before her, she noticed a station wagon leaving the rear of the compound. "Did you see that Caliber? Why would a car be leaving through the rear of the compound when there are several exits that lead to the streets?"
"I don't know Sensei," Caliber responded. "But we are going to find out." She turned on her communicator and said, "Adonis, there is a car leaving by a rear exit. Tail it and find out where it's going."
Adonis and the girls were laying on a bluff on their stomachs, watching the front of the compound when they heard Caliber.
Pirouette turned slightly to the left, grabbed the binoculars from her husband, and peered through them. She noticed the wagon leaving the compound at high speed leaving a cloud of dust in its wake. Pirouette answered, "Roger Caliber, we're on it!"
Sniper and Havoc were already running back to their Cyclotron and so was Empress, then Pirouette said, "Empress, please stay here and monitor the situation from the ground. The four of us can deal with the car."
Empress kicked a rock with the tip of her right boot and sent the rock flying. She placed her paws on her hips and asked, "Why do I get to sit this out while you four get to go have fun?"
"We don't need all five of us go watch a car, one or two of us needs to be recon for the Aerial crew. Since you are the one with the magical abilities, you can watch over scene a heck of a lot better than we can," Pirouette said as she slid behind her husband.
"Alright, I'll stay and keep an eye on the compound," Empress said. "However, when we are done here, I want to see which she-cat is faster on their Cylcotron. Sniper, you are formally challenged to a race around the scrap yard! You had better bring your 'A' game, because I can make the Cyclotron turn on a dime and give me a nickel back!"
Sniper had just finished securing her helmet on her head and turned her head to face Empress. She looked at her through the open visor of her helmet and said, "You're on Empress! You will be eating my dust as I easily out ride you!"
Empress cocked her hips and said, "I'd like to see that happen Sniper. I'll prove that I am the best rider of SWAT!"
Sniper flipped her visor closed and rode her Cyclotron slowly over to where Empress stood. She stopped when she was even with Empress, turned to her left so she could look into Empress' mask covered eyes, and said, "You don't stand a chance against me Empress but how about we sweeten the pot a little?"
"What do you have in mind Sniper?" Empress asked.
"How about not only does the loser have to wash the winner's bike, but also, clean the winner's house while wearing a French Maid's outfit? I'm sure that T-Bone won't mind seeing you in a costume like that," Sniper asked.
"And I'm sure Havoc will have a hard time keeping her paws off of YOU when you have to wear that outfit Sniper!" Empress stated.
Adonis blushed as he thought of his sister wearing a very short dress with white lace on the hem as well as Empress wearing the same thing.
Pirouette noticed the blush on her husband's face and said to him, "You don't have to fantasize about those two wearing that. I have that costume at home from a show I did years ago, I'll wear it for you, tonight before bed."
That was all Adonis needed to hear. He started his Cyclotron and said, "We are wasting daylight Sniper. You and Empress can settle your little squabble later, right now we have a car to tail." He then took off after the car.
As the other three watched Adonis and Pirouette ride away, Havoc asked, "What got could have possibly got into his tight uniform and crawled up his butt to make him ride off like that?"
"I don't know love, but I have a feeling that his wife has something to do with it," Sniper answered before taking off after Adonis and Pirouette."
Empress watched as her friends took off after the car and said, "Now what am I going to do for fun?" She turned back to the compound and noticed small frenzy of activity outside of the compound. "Well what is going on here? Did we stir up a Hornet's nest with our flyover?" She then noticed one of the guards setting up a rocket launcher and said, "I don't think so gentlemen." She waived her paw in the air and zapper herself right next to the guard.
The guard had the launcher resting on his shoulder and was taking aim at the TurboKat. Just as he was about to fire the rocket, he felt a small disturbance next to him. He turned in the direction of the disturbance and noticed a very shapely she-cat wearing a tight uniform on her body. His eyes roamed the sexy female that stood before him and said, "David must be very generous today if he sent you to take care of me. Give me a few minutes and I will let you have your way with me."
"I don't think my fiancée will like that," Empress said before she raised her left foot off of the ground and kicked the rocket launcher out of the tom's hands.
However, that maneuver caused him to fire the rocket into the air, straight at the TurboKat.
"Now look at what you made me do," the tom said as he put the empty launcher down. "I guess we can play sooner than I thought." He went to attack her but she was quicker and dodged his attack.
An alarm sounded in the cockpit of the TurboKat alerting them of the incoming rocket and Razor said, "Incoming, 5:30 low!"
T-Bone slammed the throttles open and threw the jet into a hard banked left turn. The rocket barely missed the belly of the jet as it flew passed them.
"I guess they know we are here," T-Bone said as he looked down out of the canopy of the jet and saw Empress fighting with a lone tom on the ground with re-enforcements running to assist the tom. "Empress!" He yelled before adjusting the angle of the jet so Razor could give Empress some cover fire so she could get out of there.
Empress leaped over the tom and as he turned around to attack her, she brought her foot around and round-housed kicked him in the head, sending him to the ground and knocking him un-conscious. She then noticed six more toms coming towards her. "Crud, I wanted to have some fun, but this is a little too much fun for me to handle."
"Cement Missile deploy!" Razor yelled as he launched the missile.
Empress took an aggressive stance as she faced the six toms heading towards her, then noticed the missile rapidly descending on the path the toms were on. She waited until the missile was about to make contact with the ground before she leaped out of the way, saying, "Its been fun, bye bye."
The missile hit the ground right in front of the toms, gluing their feet in the rapidly drying cement.
As the toms tried to remove their feet from the cement, Empress landed a few feet away from them and said as she threw her braided hair over her shoulder, "Aw, the poor putty cats are stuck. That is what you get when you play with SWAT!"
What she didn't see was one of the toms pulling a tranquilizer gun from his belt and taking aim at her. He fired the dart and it hit Empress in the butt.
"Ow, what the.." she started to say but slumped forward, falling to the ground as the drug took hold.
A few more guards came out out of the compound, picked up Empress, and carried her into the compound.
All four of the members of SWAT that were in the air simultaneously yelled, "Empress!" Followed by Caliber exclaiming, "No one dares screw with my best friend and gets away with it! Hang on Sensei, we are going in!" She pushed the stick forward, bringing her jet into a steep dive directly into the compound.
The jet flew past the guys and continued its rapid descent into the compound as Razor said, "Caliber, you can't go in there without a plan! You are going to get yourself and Sensei captured or worse! Pull back and we will come up with a plan to get her back!"
"Nothing doing!" Caliber said. "They have my best friend in there and I am not going to sit on my ass while she is being held captive!"
"She is carrying my kittens Caliber!" T-Bone yelled. "I want her back as much as you do but Razor is right, if we bust in there, we are all going to be captured, then what? Rely on the other four to get us out?"
Caliber slammed her right fist into the dashboard of her jet then pulled out of the dive she and Sensei were in.
Sensei reached over the panel and put her right paw on Caliber's shoulder, then said, "We will get her back, very soon Caliber."
Caliber banked the jet away from the compound and said, "We had better Sensei, or I am going to bust that place open by myself and get her out of there!"
Adonis, Pirouette, Sniper, and Havoc followed the wagon for about an hour until the wagon stopped at Make-out Point.
Adonis pulled his Cyclotron off of the road into a densely wooded area where he and Pirouette could watch the wagon without being seen. They dismounted the Cyclotron and went to hide behind a large bush. Adonis then said to Pirouette, "This is Dejavu all over again."
"I wonder how many bodies they have dumped in this river the Enforcers don't know about?" Pirouette asked.
Sniper and Havoc came up beside them and watched as two toms unloaded a body bag from the trunk of the wagon.
Sniper wretched then asked, "Is that what I think it is?"
"Yes Sniper, it's a body," Adonis said. "This apparently is one of their favorite dumping grounds.
As Adonis was speaking, the two toms threw the bag into the river and returned to the wagon. They drove off about a minute later.
"You are stronger than all of us combined dear, go get the bag," Pirouette said.
"Great, I get to go for another swim in that river," Adonis said as he started taking off his boots and then his helmet. "I hope one of you have those antibiotics they gave me at the hospital after the last time I went for a swim in that river?" He asked as he went to the edge of the water and dove in to retrieve the body.
Empress was brought to David's office and dumped on the floor in front of his desk.
"What have you brought me today?" David asked from behind his desk.
"This she-cat single handedly took us on and would have beaten us if we didn't tranquilize her," a tom said.
David turned around in his chair and looked at the supple female form in front of him. He then said, "Leave us."
The toms left his office at his command and closed the door.
David got up from behind his desk and made his way over to where Empress laid on the floor. As his eyes raked over her body in her tight uniform, he said, "Why would such a beautiful she-cat want to put her life on the line for this city?" He then crouched down and grazed his right fingers over Empress' left cheek. "Nice and soft, you could give the queen a run for the money. Now to find out who is under the mask." As he went to lift the mask off of Empress, a guard burst into his office and said, "The SWAT Kats are attacking the compound!"
David lifted his head and asked, "What!?"
"There are two jets attacking the walls and they are demanding the release of their comrade or they are going to level the place," the guard replied.
T-Bone face was full of anger as he brought the TurboKat back around for another attack on the compound. He then said, "Hit them again Razor!"
"Roger that T-Bone," Razor replied as he launched another series of missiles at the walls of the compound.
As the missiles struck the wall, the office shook rather violently. David turned to Empress and then to the guard and said, "Get her out of here and I mean now!"
"Yes sir," the guard said before he scooped Empress up in his arms and left David's office.
David watched the guard carry Empress out of his office then he said, "Too bad, she was just as hot as Callista."
Caliber was not going as easy as T-Bone was on the compound. She brought the TurboKat 2 around and lined up a perfect shot at the offices for Sensei. "They took my friend and sister into that place against her will, now they deal with me!" Caliber snarled before she said, "Let em rip Sensei!"
Sensei was about to fire a volley of missiles at the building, when she noticed a lone guard carrying Empress in his arms. "They are letting Empress go!" Sensei said.
Caliber brought the jet into a low hover with the nose aimed directly at the guard. She switched on the loudspeaker and said, "Put her down, gently. If you know what's good for you!"
The guard froze in fear because he was staring right down the nose of a very fierce looking jet and worse, a very angry looking pilot. He slowly put Empress down and backed away from her with his paws in the air.
Just as soon as the guard backed away, Sensei opened the canopy and jumped out to get Empress. As her feet hit the ground, she ran over to where Empress was laying, picked her up, and brought her back to the jet.
Caliber landed the jet so Sensei could strap the un-conscious Empress into the gunner's seat. After Empress was securely fastened into the seat, Caliber asked, "How are you going to get out of here? This jet was not built to carry three of us.."
"Don't worry about me Caliber," Sensei said. "I have more than one trick up my sleeve." She then closed the canopy and backed away from the jet.
Caliber saluted her, then took off for the hangar. "T-Bone, Razor, cover Sensei. She is down there alone." Caliber said.
"Roger that Caliber," T-Bone replied, then asked, "How is Empress?"
"Out like a blown lightbulb, but otherwise fine."
Sensei made sure that Caliber was able to fly out of the compound safely before she started walking towards the nearest exit herself.
"And just where do you think you are going little miss?" A guard asked as he pulled the hammer back on his rifle.
Sensei took one look at the rifle, smirked at the guard, then withdrew her sword from its sheath. She then said, "You want to play with little me? Come on, show me what you got!"
The guard underestimated his opponent completely. The only thing he saw was a shapely she-cat, wearing a skin-tight costume, holding a sword in her paws. He put his rifle down and pulled out a large knife from a sheath attached to his right calf.
Sensei watched and examined the guards very awkward movements with the knife and then charge at her. She waited until the time was right, then darted out of the way before the guard had a chance to strike. Although the guard did not go unscathed. As the guard slipped past her, she brought the heel of her boot into the guards right knee, shattering the joint.
"You bitch! You broke my knee!" The guard screamed as he did his best to support his leg.
Sensei sauntered over to him, crouched down so she was inches from his face, and said, "My name is not Bitch, its Sensei. Remember it!" She then stood up and walked away, sheathing her sword in the process.
A few more guards came after her and she pulled out a few shiokens from her belt. As one of the guards got closer to her, she flicked her right wrist, throwing one of the shirokens at the guard. The star embedded in the guard's left tricep and he dropped his weapon to pull out the shiroken and to control the bleeding.
"Anyone else want to try to dance with me?" Sensei asked after she stopped.
All of the guards took off running away from her as fast as they could.
"Guess not," Sensei said as she calmly walked out of the compound.
"Did you see the way Sensei handled herself?" Razor asked.
"Yeah, that is one she-cat I don't want to meet in a dark alley,' T-Bone replied.
Adonis grabbed the body bag from the bottom of the river and swam back to the surface. After he breached the surface of the river, he took in a deep breath and started to swim back towards the shoreline.
Sniper, Havoc, and Pirouette were at the shoreline as soon as they saw his head surface and waited for him to get closer so they could assist in bringing the bag onto land.
Adonis made it to the shore and with his right arm, threw the bag in front of him. He then slipped out of the water and went to stand next to his wife.
Pirouette's eyes went wide as she watched her husband coming towards her. What really held her gaze was the way his normally tight uniform was now almost translucent since it was soaked with water. She could clearly see every inch on muscle on his body from his bulging chest, to his toned abs, and his very strong legs. She then blushed as her eyes fell to his crotch and noticed he went commando today. She ran over to him and shielded his body from the rest of the group.
"What's wrong Pirouette?" Adonis asked.
Pirouette gently pulled her husband's head down so she could whisper into his ear. "Your uniform is see through and you aren't wearing anything underneath."
Adonis blushed with embarrassment then started slowly walking towards his Cyclotron with Pirouette acting as a shield to his front half only. Which left his tail section completely exposed to the rest.
Sniper was about to open the bad when she heard the soft movements of the sand and gravel beneath Adonis and Pirouette's feet. She turned her head only so see Adonis' muscular backside in his now see-through uniform. She then said, "Wow! No wonder you have she-cats throwing themselves at you Adonis, that is one great looking butt! If I was into toms, I would be grabbing two paw-fulls of those buns!"
Pirouette heard Sniper's statement and laughed at her husband's predicament. She reached into the left saddlebag of the Cyclotron and pulled out a blanket. She closed the bag and went to Adonis before wrapping the blanket around him.
"Thank you dear," Adonis said before he kissed Pirouette. He turned to Sniper and said, "Sorry Sniper, my behind is taken by the she-cat I am madly in love with."
Pirouette stroked his left cheek with her right paw, then said, "And don't you forget it, my dear husband." She let her paw drop to her side and went next to Sniper as she un-zipped the body bag.
As the bag was opened and the face of the dead tom was revealed, Pirouette recognized the face of the dead tom and she brought both of her paws up to cover her mouth as her stomach turned. "That is the same tom we saw this morning, the one that Candice said she witnessed dumping Snow in the river and killing the two teenagers."
"As much as I am going to hate to, I'm calling the Enforcers," Sniper said. "This whole thing has now gone way beyond what any agency can handle. We are going to need their help as they are going to need ours."
