Chapter 4: Showdown

Kai: (smiles) Well, my fic is nearing the end guys.

Razor: (reading over Kai's shoulder) You're going to save me soon…right?

Kai: (looks up) Save Sure-shot? Who said anything about saving you?

Razor: (sighs) That's it, I'm doomed.

Spike: (rolls eyes) And they say us Brits are drama queens.

Razor: (glares) That's because you are.

Spike: Keep talking dead kat.

T-Bone: (shrugs) I think Kai's bluffing.

Kai: (smirks) Well you'll just have to read on and find out, won' t you?

Razor: I don't think I wanna know Kai.

Kai: (shrugs) Disclaimer…

Razor: Kai doesn't own Swat Kats, please Read and Review!

"Leave him alone Dark Crud!" a voice commanded as it's owner stepped out from the shadows.

Dark Kat turned his attention from Razor to the new comer. "I was wondering when you'd show up to save your friend Swat Kat", he remarked turning to T-Bone, "and I see you've brought a friend along too."

T-Bone smirked. "Yeah, I suppose, if you could call Feral a friend", he joked stealing a glance at his unconscious partner before turning to Dr. Viper, "Where's the antidote Viper?"

Viper smirked as he produced a vial from his white lab coat. "Right here Swat Kat", he answered, "let's see if you can take it from me?"

"What does it matter anyway? You're too late!" Dark Kat proclaimed as he held another vial over the vat of water that was closest to him, "What will it be T-Bone? Your partner's life or the lives of everyone in the city?"

"Guess you can't save everyone Swat kat!"

"Wanna bet Lizard lips!" Felina shouted as she knocked the vial out of Dark Kat's hands, "I'm thinking it's time for some payback, wouldn't you agree Callie."

"Sounds wonderful Lt. Feral", Callie agreed as Lt. Steele helped her down from the ropes.

"Get them my Creeplings!" Dark Kat shouted, pointing at the group, "They're ruining everything!"

T-Bone sighed as he pulled out his Glovitix, while Feral pulled out his gun. "Creeplings, why does it always have to be ugly, purple Creeplings?" he said firing a net over the closest bunch, "I hate Creeplings."

Feral rolled his eyes and continued firing on the small, purple creatures. "Are you ever serious?" he asked

"No, I usually leave that to good ol' Razor"

"T-Bone stop joking around!" Felina shouted, pointing at the fleeing Dr. Viper, " Viper's getting away and we need that antidote for Razor!"

T-Bone nodded and took off after Dr. Viper. "Where do you think you're goin' you snake in the grass?" he asked, shooting a net over Viper, "Give me the antidote."

Dr. Viper laughed at T-Bone. "Why would I give you the antidote Swat Kat?" he inquired, looking up at T-Bone, "I'd love nothing more then to watch your friend suffer till he dies."

T-Bone growled and picked up Dr. Viper by his throat. "Then how about I propose a deal then Viper?" he asked, his eyes narrowed in hate, "I'll let you go if you hand over the antidote."

"Since when do you make deals with people like me?"

T-Bone growled, as much as he hated making a deal with the scum of Megakat City he didn't really have a choice. "Since my best friend's life is at stake", he replied eyeing Viper.

"Here, take it Swat Kat."

T-Bone garbed the offered vial and dropped Dr. Viper on the ground. "This had better work for Razor's sake as well as yours", he threatened as he walked off towards the main room again. T-Bone walked into the room to find the floor littered with dead Creeplings and Callie keeling on the floor with Razor's head propped up on her lap while the two Ferals stood beside her.

"Did you get the antidote T-Bone?" Callie questioned the worry apparent in her voice.

T-Bone nodded as he waved the vial. "Yeah", he said keeling beside Razor, who was beginning to come to again, "Where's Dark Crud? I owe him one."

"He got away."

T-Bone growled as he fed Razor the antidote. "Watch him, I've got some unfinished business to attend to", he stated glancing at Felina, " Hey Felina, how'd you like to take a crash course on Razor's weapons system?"

Felina blinked. "Really?" she exclaimed following T-Bone out of the room, "I would love to T-Bone!"

Feral's mouth hung wide open at the sound of that. "No Felina", he commanded grabbing a hold of his niece, "I won't allow you to fly with this Hot-shot."

"I don't take no for an answer Uncle", Felina replied yanking her arm out of Feral's grasp, "and here I thought you'd learned that by now" and with that, the two were off.

"Why don't we head back to my office Feral", Callie suggested, "we can wait for T-Bone there." Feral nodded as picked up Razor and followed Callie outside.

"Wow, there's a lot of gadgets in here", Felina commented as the jet took off in the night sky, "did Razor make all this stuff himself?"

T-Bone let out a laugh. "What did you think he did with all his spare time?" he asked.

"He obviously didn't go on dates."

"Once a tech geek always a tech geek I always say", T-Bone joked before his sensors went off alerting him that Dark Kat was near, "on your toes Lieutenant, Dark Kat is in the area."

"Way ahead of you Swat Kat!" Felina answered, moving the joystick so that Dark Kat's ship was in the crosshairs, "Heat Seeker missile barrage locked and away!"

"Wow, I do believe we have another Sure-shot in our midst",

T-Bone remarked, wearing his trademark smirk as the missiles hit their mark and sent Dark Kat's ship crashing to the ground, "nice shooting Felina."

Felina smiled at T-Bone's compliment. "You'd better not let Razor hear you say that T-Bone", she replied as she watch a group of Enforcers surround Dark Kat's ship, "looks like the Enforcers have a handle on things."

T-Bone raised his eyebrow at the comment, but chose to head back towards City Hall instead. "I'll let then handle it just this once", he stated, "but only because it's not as much fun to watch the Enforcers have their tails handed to them without my partner."

"Very funny T-Bone."
-

Callie's ears perked up at the sound of a soft tap at her window. "T-Bone, haven't you ever heard of using the door?" she asked letting the tabby into her office.

T-Bone laughed. "I have Miss Briggs", he joked walking over to Razor, "but I find it to be less dramatic."

Callie smirked and leaned over to give T-Bone a kiss on his cheek. "That's for saving me T-Bone", she said, "thank you."

T-Bone felt himself blush under his mask as he picked up his caramel colored friend. "Wow I love my job, I get to save my partner and get the girl all at the same time", he replied, "what could be better?"

Callie laughed and pushed T-Bone towards the open window. "You should go", she reminded, "Razor needs to go home and rest."

T-Bone nodded as he jumped onto the window's ledge. "I guess I should say thanks too, for keeping my partner out of too much trouble", he said before the grappling hook pulled him up to the roof, "I owe you one Miss Briggs."

"And I plan to hold you to that statement T-Bone."

A Week Later

"How's Razor doing?" Callie questioned as she spoke to T-Bone through the communicator.

T-Bone's eyes scanned the hanger before answering Callie's question. "He's getting back to his old self, he's currently fidgeting with something in the Turbokat as we speak."

"Same old Razor", Callie stated laughing, "it's good to hear he's feeling better."

"Yeah, I still wish he'd take it easy though", T-Bone replied eyeing the caramel colored kat's tail that was sticking out of the cockpit of their jet, "I'm seriously considering tying him to his bed."

"I heard that T-Bone!" Razor yelled from the jet.

T-Bone rolled his eyes. "I gotta go Callie", he said, "there's a certain smart-ass kat who needs to be resting."

"T-Bone, before you go, I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime?" Callie asked, crossing her fingers praying that he would say yes, " You know, since you owe me and all."

T-Bone stood speechless for a moment. "Sure", he answered before turning off the communicator and walking towards the Turbokat, "What are you doing Sure-shot?"

Razor poked his head up from the cockpit to look at T-Bone. "Trying to get the girl smell out of my seat", he replied, "all I can smell is Felina's perfume."

T-Bone laughed at his partner. "Hey Razor, what if I told you Feral sat in your seat too?" he joked.

Razor's eyes went wide at the comment. "T-bone, I'm seriously considering getting the chair reupholstered." he stated, making a gagging noise.

"Chill out Razor, I'm just kidding."

"You puttz"

Kai: (cheers) Yay! It's done! That means I can go watch more Hakkai

Spike: (groans) Oh no Pet, not another obsession.

Razor: Just as long as it's not me I don't care.
