“Talking”

‘Thoughts’

The creeplings made a loose half-circle around Ursula keeping her from trying to escape as Dark Kat stared at her with an evil smile on his face. In the cell behind her Dark Chance hadn’t made a sound but Felina had cried out in fear of what Dark Kat might do to her aunt.

The silence seemed to stretch out before Dark Kat made a lightning move. He grabbed Ursula by the neck, squeezing his fist tight. Despite her pregnancy, Ursula tried to get him to release her by kicking toward his groin and pulling at his paws. But he ignored her efforts and squeezed even tighter. She began to wheeze from lack of breath and her limbs went limp from lack of oxygen.

“To think our original virus had the ability to change ones gender. Must have been quite a shock for you, Commander.” Dark Kat said cruelly, ignoring the she-kat weakening struggles.

“Stop it! You’re hurting her!” Felina yelled angrily, hating how helpless she was to help.

“I wondered why you two were so close. Must have been such a shock to grieve one moment then be relieved the next that he was alive though altered.” Dark Kat snorted, glancing at Felina for a moment.

Then, to their surprise, Dark Kat simply released Ursula to drop hard to the ground. She choked and gasped, rubbing her throat, as she tried to regain her breathe, not noticing the pain from the fall.

“Put her back in the cell. I’ll deal with the ex-commander later.” Dark Kat ordered, signaling his creeplings to take care of it.

The creeplings chittered loudly as they swept in and grabbed Ursula. One of them opened the door as the ones with Ursula pushed her forcibly into the cell. Dark Chance and Felina had stepped back but as the pregnant she-kat was shoved in, Felina quickly lunged forward and prevented her aunt from landing on the floor again. Ursula was heavier than Felina so they were still sent to the floor but only to their knees. Dark Kat just laughed and walked away with his creeplings flying around him.

“You okay, auntie?” Felina asked anxiously, holding her aunt close to her ignoring the closing sound of the door.

Ursula nodded bringing one of her paws up to her neck to rub out the pain and soreness. Felina helped her to her feet than over to the cot. While she tried to recover she noted Dark Chance had gone back to the cell bars, keeping his back to them.

Felina made a move to go to Dark Chance and tried to see what he was feeling but her aunt stopped her by putting an arm out. Felina frowned at her questioningly. Ursula just shook her head without saying anything. Felina sighed and remained sitting. She understood her aunt wanted her to leave Dark Chance alone for now. The news had shocked the tom and he needed time to absorb it. She was worried about how the tom would react to this new development. She stayed close to her aunt in case he became hostile.

Ursula studied Dark Chance’s rigid stance. She had a feeling he wasn’t happy about what he’d just learned and she was worried how he would treat her now that he knew. She felt no guilt at not telling him, after all, he had been their enemy even if he was now a prisoner with them and was concerned for her. She did still feel sorry for him though, betrayal by one’s friend was never easy to take.

He never left the bars, just leaned against them as an hour passed. He straightened suddenly when they heard running feet coming toward their cell.

Dark Jake appeared, looking tense and angry. He ignored his ex-friend and stared hard at Ursula for long minutes, his cold eyes making a shiver run down her spine.

“It can’t be…” He breathed in disbelief, leaning closer to the cell bars, still staring.

“It is.” Dark Chance said flatly not looking at his former partner.

“But how?” Dark Jake demanded, moving to get a better look at the transformed Commander.

“How the hell should I know!?” The dirty tabby yelled angrily.

Dark Jake looked at Dark Chance, studying his face. He was surprised to see a mix of anger, hatred, and betrayal fighting with an equal measure of concern and protectiveness in his partner’s eyes.

He was shocked to feel a rush of concern and remorse for his former best friend within him. Shying away from that realization he turned his attention back to Ursula.

“Tell me, Feral.” Jake spat, “How did this happen to you?”

Ursula hesitated weighing her options. The information could get her in more hot water with Dark Chance but then again maybe not. It might change Dark Razor’s mind. At least she could hope it would. Either way, she was in danger whether she told them or not so might as well tell them, she decided finally. She sighed in resignation and began explaining how her life had changed so dramatically.

“As Dark Kat had said, he and Viper had created a virus over a year ago, kidnapped me and used it on me to see if he could take out the SWAT Kats and the city with it. Your doubles crashed in to rescue me but Viper had already injected me.

They trashed the lab then swept me out of there. I was really sick and had a hard time trying to stay conscious. Something happened to the cargo hold of their jet and I was suddenly free-falling into the ocean, my body in agony.

When I finally woke, I found myself in Professor Hackle’s lab and looking like this. I stayed out of sight hoping Dr. Conway would find a cure to return me to normal. Meanwhile, to keep me busy, the Professor coaxed me to try his new fighting robot suit. One thing led to another and I became Valkyrie.

While I was doing my vigilante bit, I ran into your doubles and managed to work with them though they didn’t know who I was. In my civilian guise I ran into them again and Chance became very smitten with me and I with him. Still I tried desperately to keep him at bay since I still hoped I would be returned to normal. I had all these new emotions and new body to get used to and it was getting harder to stay away from Chance.”

“My double…does he know about you?” Chance demanded, interrupting her.

“He does now but…” Ursula started to say but was distracted by a brief shot of pain in her belly.

“But?” Dark Chance asked turning around to look at her.

“Like I said, I was hoping to return to normal and I didn’t want to become entangled with him anymore than I already had but he still thought I was some new she-kat that had moved into the area. No matter how hard I tried to put him off he still came back every time...he’s stubborn that way.” She said, stopping again when another sharp pain sliced through her. She closed her eyes a moment trying to recover.

“Auntie?” Felina asked, frowning worriedly, she’d seen the sudden look of pain that had flashed across her aunt’s face briefly.

“It’s alright, Felina.” Ursula muttered softly, then began speaking again. “Even though I tried my best to keep Chance from getting hurt with the truth, fate had a way of constantly interfering with my efforts. Finally, I found out I couldn’t return to normal, the secret came out in a fight between Chance and I. Later we made up and ended up becoming mated. The pregnancy...came...as a surprise...to...oh!” She gasped as a much more intense pain squeezed her belly making it impossible for her to ignore. She hunched over with her paws pressing on it.

Felina became alarmed and put a paw on her aunt’s belly. She felt the contraction begin to ease then surge again tightening the belly beneath her paw, again it eased off.

“She’s in labor!” Felina said grimly, truly scared for her aunt.

Dark Chance had whirled around from the bars when Ursula had gasped in pain. He rushed to her side when Felina announced, Feral was in labor. He forgot his anger in the sudden choking fear that this she-kat would die along with her kitten. The nightmare of the past came rushing forward in his mind as he knelt beside the stricken she-kat.

Ursula had fallen to her side and was panting as the contractions came strong and steady. She moaned and cried out with every contraction, unused to this kind of pain.

“Damn it, not now.” Chance said intensely, he couldn’t bear to suffer through this again.

“Dark Kat’s treatment obviously pushed her into early labor.” Felina said tightly, holding her aunt’s paws to offer comfort through the pains.

Dark Chance suddenly remember his partner and jumped to his feet, rushing to the bars where he saw Jake beginning to walk off. “Jake!” Dark Chance shouted. “Please! You’ve got to help her!”

Jake froze in misstep but didn’t turn around. Over his shoulder he growled, “Why should I? I don’t give a fig what happens to her.”

“Jake, she’ll die and so will the kitten! How can you just let that happen?” Chance begged, desperately.

“Forget it, Chance. Jake only cares about himself and no one else. He’s just like Dark Crud!” Felina hissed out loud enough for the cinnamon tom to hear.

Dark Jake paws clenched tightly in anger and resentment at Felina’s harsh words. He turned back to the cell and glared at Felina. “You don’t know jack shit about me! So shut your mouth!” He snarled.

With that final bitter comment, Dark Jake turned on his heel and hurried away. He was steamed but troubled as well. He pushed aside his anger and resentment and the desire to prove that she-kat wrong about him but he had made a promise to himself to not get involved. Unfortunately, his partner’s pleas and the pain-filled cries of the pregnant she-kat followed him down the tunnel wouldn’t leave him. He hated the feelings of guilt and shame that filled him.

Ursula’s continual cries of pain brought Dark Chance back to her side. An odor of copper filled the air and Felina quickly checked her aunt and found blood beginning to seep though her aunt’s clothing. She looked up into Chance’s face, her eyes filled with fear.

“No, please.” Dark Chance whispered in anguish.

While this drama was going on, the Turbokat continued to hover above the medical building while Razor feverishly tried to find Ursula’s GPS signal. T-Bone shifted uneasily in his seat as a feeling of dread and fear shivered up his spine.

“Razor, you found the signal?” T-Bone asked, anxiously.

“I…almost….got it! It’s coming from the Megakat mountains.” Razor said in relief. “Coordinates to your nav now.”

“Finally! Megakat mountain range, full throttle!” T-Bone gritted, as he turned the Turbokat’s nose in the right direction and punched the throttle to full max speed. They were screaming toward the mountains at a fast clip when Razor shouted a caution to his partner.

“T-Bone cut your speed! We don’t want Dark Kat and our doubles to know we’ve found them.” Razor said.

“So what do we do now?” T-Bone asked slowing the jet’s speed somewhat.

“The signal’s coming from that range of mountains we’re coming up on. Drop down into the forest right here, so the jet is hidden and we’re not close enough for them to hear us.” Razor directed.

“Right.” T-Bone barked an acknowledgment, finding a perfect clearing and landing the jet smoothly. “Okay, we’re down, cyclotrons?” He asked as he released his seatbelt.

“Roger!” Razor said as he dropped into the cargo bay followed by his partner.

He signaled the cargo door open and they drove their bikes off. He signaled the door closed and set the security on the jet. Soon he and T-Bone were racing through the forest to the mountain face where Ursula’s signal came from.

‘I just hope we make it in time.’ Razor thought to himself worriedly as the mountains came closer.
