Chapter Twenty-One

“Talking”

‘Thoughts’

As T-Bone raced down the dark tunnel with Razor hot on his heels, some distance ahead of them, Dark Chance and Dark Jake were nearly carrying Ursula as they aided the pregnant she-kat away from her temporary cell and toward their Turbokat.

Felina was on point, keeping an eye out for any creeplings or worse Dark Kat. Ursula was panting heavily as each step increased the pressure on her womb, forcing more blood to escape faster. She really needed to be horizontal but that wasn’t possible yet so she grit her teeth and tried to control the pain as they hurried her along.

Just as they reached the mouth of the tunnel, the four of them stopped out of sight so they could check to see where Dark Kat was before attempting to reach the Dark Turbokat sitting not far away. A feeling of unease passed over them when they didn’t see any sign of the mastermind and his creeplings.

“Where did he go?” Felina asked softly in concern.

“Who knows and who cares? Right, now we need to get Ursula out of here.....” Dark Chance said tightly in a low voice, concerned as well but knowing they had to go. No one argued. They stepped out of the tunnel and were halfway to the jet when a cold voice rang out.

“You’re not going anywhere!”

The four of them froze then slowly turned their head to see Dark Kat standing at the end of the other tunnel, creeplings all around him. Dark Chance immediately growled at Dark Kat while Dark Jake and Felina sneered at him.

“Oh, yeah Dark Crud? How you going to stop us?” Dark Chance asked bitterly then he jerked his head at Felina to come and take his place.

Felina came to his side. They carefully switched places so Felina was now supporting her aunt while Dark Chance stepped in front of them to confront Dark Kat.

“Felina, you and Ursula get out of here. Chance and I will hold them off as long as we can.” Dark Jake said, insuring Ursula was leaning against her niece before letting her go.

“But if we take the Turbokat, how will you two get out of here?” Felina objected.

“We’ll worry about that later. Now go.” Jake hissed firmly.

“But…!”

“Go!”

Felina watched as Dark Jake moved swiftly to Dark Chance’s side causing the dirty tiger tom to flick a surprised look at him.

“What are you doing?” Dark Chance hissed, his eyes snapping back to Dark Kat.

“Helping you.” Dark Jake hissed back.

Dark Chance quickly glanced over his shoulder to see Felina and Ursula heading for the Dark Turbokat. He quickly refocused his attention back to the purple twisted tom who snarled at them in anger.

“Get them!” Dark Kat roared to his creeplings.

The creeplings shrieked as they charged toward the pair. Dark Chance and Dark Jake braced themselves as the pink mutated bats attacked. Just as they were engaging the creatures a roar of fury was heard coming down the tunnel leading from outside. All parties froze in surprise.

Dark Kat whirled around only to be met by a very angry, raging tiger tom who tackled him with all the pent up fury an angry mate could have. T-Bone’s attack sent the two of them flying some distance before landing hard on the ground.

T-Bone immediately began to claw, bite and punch Dark Kat with uncontrollable rage. He was in a killing fury and nothing was going to stop him. Dark Kat was stunned at first but then regained his own anger. He pulled his knees back and kicked outward into the other Kat’s belly sending T-Bone flying against a nearby wall.

“T-Bone!” Ursula cried out at seeing her mate go flying then gasped in pain sending her paws to her belly and hunching her body making it harder for Felina to hold her up.

“Auntie, we need to get of here.” Felina said worriedly.

“But T-Bone….” Ursula started to object but was interrupted by the appearance of Razor who quickly rushed over to them.

“Ursula! Oh god!” Razor said fearfully, seeing the blood running down Ursula legs. He turned to Felina and said urgently, “Get her to the hospital now. She only has twelve hours before things go from bad to worse. I’ll help T-Bone with Dark Kat and our doubles.” Razor said urgently.

“Razor, wait! They’re on our side!” Felina said quickly told him.

“What?!” He blinked in surprise but then shook his head. “Oh, that’s good! Don’t worry! Just get out of here!” He said hurriedly then took off for the fight.

Knowing there was nothing they could do but obey, Ursula didn’t resist when Felina guided her toward the jet once more. Reaching it’s side, Felina had Ursula lean against it while she jumped aboard and signaled the cargo doors to open. Returning to her aunt’s side, she helped her into the cargo hold, secured her to a jump seat then climbed back into the cockpit. She shut the cargo doors as she started the engines.

Meanwhile, T-Bone was getting to his feet. He looked around quickly and spotted Felina helping Ursula up the Dark Turbokat’s ramp. He frowned in surprise, wondering how they escaped then he spotted the blood on his mate’s legs. A shiver of terror swept over him at the sight. At the moment he wanted nothing more than to run to his mate’s side but he was immediately distracted by a group of creeplings who jumped him.

Anger and fear burned hotly within him as he shredded and beat the creeplings to death. Razor spotted his partner being nearly buried under creeplings. He raced up and began to pitch and beat the creatures away to clear a path to his partner.

As the good SWAT Kats beat off their opponents, not far from them the Dark SWAT Kats were pummeling more of the obnoxious things. What neither pair noticed, was the fact they were being forced into a small circle. It was only when their backs came in contact with each other that they realized they were surrounded.

“What the…!” T-Bone said turning to see his double behind him. At that second, T-Bone wanted to jump Dark Chance causing him a world of pain for what he did. But before he could Razor spoke up stopping him.

“T-Bone, wait! They’re on our side.” Razor said quickly.

“What? No way!” T-Bone said turning to look at Razor.

“I wish, but it seems to be true.” Razor assured him, smacking a creepling away.

“If you two are done talking, then let’s focus on the problem in front of us!” Dark Jake snapped as he batted another creepling away.

“I’m more worried about my mate then these freaks.” T-Bone snapped back, slamming a fist into another creeplings face.

“Felina should be getting Ursula out of here by now.” Dark Chance said tightly, taking two creeplings in his fists and tossing them.

Echoing Dark Chance words, they heard the sound of the Dark Turbokat engines roaring to full power.

Inside the jet, Felina did a sketchy pre-flight check, looked around to make sure she could take off without harming the SWAT Kats, both pairs, then pushed the throttled forward and began taxiing down the tunnel for the exit.

Seeing the jet leave, T-Bone and Razor sighed in relief and focused their full attention on their present predicament. There were fewer creeplings now because most of them were now laying on the ground limp or dead. The two sets of toms could now take a moment to look around for Dark Kat. Nearly at the same time, they spotted the huge Kat running down the tunnel the Dark Turbokat had taken.

“After him!” Dark Chance shouted.

Nobody needed to be told twice as they took off running. T-Bone sprinted ahead of the group with Dark Chance only a few paces behind him.

T-Bone tackled the huge Kat at chest height while Dark Chance slammed his body against Dark Kat’s legs. The huge Kat slammed to the ground but was unfazed by their attack. He rolled abruptly, succeeding in shaking them off as if they were kittens. He jumped to his feet just as the two sandy toms did the same and lunged for him again.

Dark Kat surprised them by charging Dark Chance and clawing him viciously. The dirty tabby yowled in pain and staggered back. T-Bone pushed forward to try a round house slam to Dark Kat’s head but the huge Kat whirled around and slammed a fist into T-Bone’s face instead, sending him to slap the tunnel wall, hard.

Before either tom could recover, Dark Kat made another bid to escape. In a burst of speed, Dark Jake delivered a swift high kick to Dark Kat’s side causing the evil kat to grunt in pain and go flying to the ground.

“You okay?” Dark Jake asked, staring in concern at Dark Chance’s bleeding arms.

“I’m fine…look out!” Dark Chance yelled, grabbing his partner out of the way when he spotted Dark Kat coming off the ground with a sword in his paw that he’d pulled from his cane.

“If I lose then everyone loses!” Dark Kat roared in fury, wielding his sword at them.

“Not this time Dark Crud!” T-Bone said furiously, firing an octopus missile at him.

But just as T-Bone fired the missile, Dark Kat reached under his coat for a remote control and pressed a red button just as the octopus missile pinned him to the tunnel wall.

“Argh!” Dark Kat grunted, dropping the control and his sword. He struggled against the spread metal petals of the octopus missile but found he could not break free of it.

“Aw Crud!” Razor said in anger and fear as he picked up the control to see how much time they had. “We’ve got seconds before this place blows......run!” He screamed, tossing the control and running up the tunnel.

The other three charged after Razor and ran as fast as they could. Behind them came the ominous sound of an explosion. The ground beneath their feet rumbled and shook and it was hard for them to keep their feet as they continued to race away.

The roaring of falling rock was heard then huge billowing clouds of dust raced up behind them causing them to choke, spurring them to greater efforts. The force wave from the blast reached them when they were nearly halfway to the exit. They were thrown some distance further on.

Choking and gasping they regained their feet and continued to run. More of the tunnel was collapsing behind them. Terror burst in their chests as the destruction raced toward them like a freight train.

Daring to glance behind them Dark Chance and Dark Jake could see the ceiling tumbling down and getting closer to them. They turned about and saw they were only a few feet from the open air and safety. Without another thought, the pair put on a burst of speed, raised their arms outward and shoved their counterparts through the entrance with all their might.

Behind them the last of the tunnel collapsed, the shockwave caught Dark Chance and Dark Jake, sending their bodies flying past T-Bone and Razor prone bodies.

It seemed to take a long time before the noise of the tunnel collapsing finally subsided. When their ears could hear again, T-Bone and Razor struggled to stand and shook their heads to clear them.

“T-Bone, you okay buddy?” Razor asked coughing a little.

“I think so. Hey, where are doubles?” T-Bone asked looking around for them.

They spotted them several feet away from them not moving. For a second, Razor and T-Bone looked at each other in disbelief and doubt. Without a word, Razor sauntered over to Dark Jake’s side as T-Bone strode to Dark Chance’s.

When T-Bone got to his counterpart’s side he knelt down and examined Dark Chance. He winced at the sight of the long, painful claw marks down each arm. Nothing else seemed to be wrong, so T-Bone gently began to shake the other tom’s shoulder.

“Hey, wake up! Come, on wake up!” T-Bone said

“Stop shaking me, damn it! I’m fine.” Dark Chance growled, blinking his eyes open then rubbing them due to the dust filling them. He slowly sat up then groaned, rubbing his head. Memory swept in and he looked around quickly for Dark Jake.

Razor gently checked Dark Jake to see if he was still alive. For some strange reason, Razor let out a sigh of relief at finding a pulse. A moan alerted Razor that Dark Jake was waking up.

“Argh, my head. I won’t be doing that again.” Dark Jake moaned out

“You sure? You made quite the hero back there.” Razor said in quiet amusement.

Dark Jake stared up at his double and snorted in response. He struggled to sit up and felt Razor’s paw aiding him. He mumbled his thanks without looking at the other Kat. Remembering his partner, Dark Jake quickly looked around then spotted Chance with T-Bone just a few feet away.

Dark Chance gave him a lopsided grin and Dark Jake sighed in relief. They had made it out alive at least. Once the two could get to their feet they joined the other pair to stare at the now demolished tunnel entrance.

“Do you think Dark Kat’s gone?” Dark Chance asked.

“He better be.” T-Bone growled, darkly.

“Hell, with an explosion like that he should be.” Dark Jake said grimly.

“Yeah, but that bastard always seems to find a way out no matter what. But if he does show up again, T-Bone and I will be here to handle him.” Razor said, firmly.

Now that they were safe and the danger over, at least for now, T-Bone’s mind was able to focus on another serious problem.

His heart pounding with fear, T-Bone began to run to where they had parked the Turbokat. His mind focused on getting to the hospital as fast as he could to be with Ursula. He prayed he was in time and that nothing had happened to her or their kitten.

“T-Bone, wait up!” Razor shouted chasing after him.

“We need to go, Razor! I have to be by Ursula’s side.” T-Bone shouted back.

Their counterparts raced after T-Bone and Razor until they all reached the Turbokat at the same time. To the surprise of T-Bone and Razor, Dark Chance and Jake stepped in front of them, preventing them from getting aboard the jet.

“What are you doing!? Get out of my way!” T-Bone snarled at Dark Chance.

“Wait, you can’t just rush into the hospital like you are. It would bring trouble down on Ursula and your kitten later on.” Dark Chance said trying to reason with his double. He knew just what his counterpart was feeling and was sympathetic.

“Then what do you suggest I do?” T-Bone growled, becoming upset.

“Switch clothes! That way you and Jake can go right into the hospital. We will park the Turbokat some distance away since Felina will already have ours parked at the hospital.” Dark Jake suggested quickly.

“They’re right, T-Bone. Let’s go with their idea.” Razor said hurriedly, knowing there was very little time for arguing.

“Fine, but let’s hurry.” T-Bone said impatiently.

Nodding, Dark Chance and Jake quickly stripped off their clothes as Razor and T-Bone did the same. In moments, they were redressed and getting aboard the jet.

Dark T-Bone and Razor jumped into the cockpit and lowered the cargo ramp for the other two to get aboard. Once inside, Jake gave the go ahead. Closing the doors quickly, T-Bone started the engines and was soon heading into the sky and making their way at top speed for the hospital.

When Felina had gotten them safely away from the mountain, she flew the Dark Turbokat at a careful speed to protect her aunt from too many g-forces, even though she was anxious to get Ursula as fast as she could. On her radio, she alerted the medical staff of her arrival and the nature of the emergency.

“This is calling Megakat Hospital. I have a pregnant she-kat in labor with a serious complication of placenta previa. Her doctor is Dr. Gibson. The patient is named Ursula Furlong.” Felina said, giving them the pertinent data.

“We copy that, ! Medical staff has cleared the chopper pad and alerted . We’re ready for your arrival. What is your ETA?” A brisk, professional voice responded.

“Thank you! ETA in five minutes!” She responded back.

“Roger!”

Felina breathed a sigh of relief, as she saw Megakat Hospital come into view. She landed the jet on the chopper pad smoothing and gently then, as she shut the engines, she opened the cargo doors. Jumping down from the cockpit, she watched anxiously as the medical staff quickly assessed her aunt’s condition.

Moving the gurney next to her seat, they gently aided her sliding over and laying down on it. Covering her with a blanket then raising the rails, they were soon rushing her off the jet and into the ER. The medical resident quickly examined her while other medical personal stripped her clothes off. He ordered IVs started of ringers and blood before having her prepared to go to surgery.

He took time to do an ultrasound to check the kitten. Ursula was in a lot of pain but she watched the doctor closely as he moved the wand over her belly for several minutes.

“Everything looks okay with the kitten, Mrs. Furlong. The kitten is in position which is good news and according to the monitor, its heart is going strong. So let’s get you up to surgery and get this ball rolling.” The doctor told her with a warm smile.

Ursula smiled in relief and was able to relax as much as the pain would allow her as they got her ready to go.

In very little time, Felina was trailing behind the fast moving gurney as the medical team took her aunt up down four floors to the surgical floor. She was wheeled through some double doors. Felina was halted there and was forced to watch her aunt disappear down the hall, the doors silently shutting automatically behind them. She went into the family waiting room, she hoped the guys were okay and would be here soon.

In the surgery suite, Ursula was gently ask to sit up while a saddle block was administered. It smarted but was quick and soon she was being laid down, her legs placed in stirrups, her body draped then another drape was hung just below her breasts. The anesthesiologist placed an oxygen mask on her face as Dr. Gibson arrived and was scrubbing up.

Outside the surgery suite, in the waiting area, Felina paced anxiously, worried Chance wouldn’t get there in time. She would walk out into the hall every few minutes and look toward the elevator.

‘Chance, where are you? Ursula needs you!’ She thought worriedly. As if hearing Felina’s plea, Chance suddenly came rushing out of the nearby elevator. He raced toward the surgery suite doors and paused to use the intercom. He nodded at Felina then spoke to someone who came on to speak with him. Moments later a nurse came through and took Chance with her.

Felina sighed in relief and was even more pleased when Jake showed up moments later to wait with her. He gave her a quick synopsis on what had happened after she had left them then they waited for news.

The nurse quickly had Chance put on a surgical gown, cap, then booties, then led him into the scrubbing area where he was shown how to clean up. Now ready, he was escorted to Ursula’s side. He paid no attention to all the stuff around his mate, his eyes were all for her. He sat on the stool by her head and took her paw in his. Moments later, Dr. Gibson was coming through the doors and approaching her patient. She was relieved to see the tom at her patient’s side.

“How are you doing Ursula?” She asked as she prepared to begin.

“I’m okay, thanks.” Ursula said softly, the pain had finally disappeared and she was able to concentrate on what was going on. She smiled up at her mate.

“Hi, love.” He said smiling down at her and holding her paw tight.

“Alright, everyone. Let’s bring this little one into the world.” Dr. Gibson said briskly as she took a scalpel and began the surgery.

Dr. Gibson made a small incision below Ursula’s navel, cutting through the abdominal wall until the uterus was laid bare, carefully lifting the uterus up, her assistant held in place as Dr. Gibson carefully cut it open, suction was applied quickly by a nurse as blood and amniotic fluid rushed out.

Reaching in she gently grasped a small head and drew it toward her. Pulling the kitten out of the mother’s uterus, she quickly used suction to clear the still silent kitten airways. She flicked it feet to get a response. Seconds later, the kitten gave a loud wail announcing its displeasure.

“It’s a female!” She announced. Smiling behind her mask in relief, Dr. Gibson cut the umbilical cord then passed the kitten off to the waiting pediatrician who whisked it away to a warming table nearby. She looked down at her patient. “Congratulations!”

Chance had watched as brought out his daughter but immediately began to fear something was wrong when his kitten didn’t started to cry. He held on to Ursula’s paw more tightly and prayed his kitten would survive.

Ursula felt Chance grip her paw and saw a worried look on his face. She couldn’t see past the drape and her heart was pounding in fear. ‘Was something wrong?’ She wondered but moments later a loud wail filled the air. She looked up and saw the look of joy on Chance’s face and relaxed.

When she heard the doctor’s congratulations, her face broke into a tired smile. “Thank you for helping me get her here safely.” She said happily, squeezing Chance’s paw as she spoke to the doctor.

“You did most of the work, I just helped you finish. You did a great job Ursula.” Dr. Gibson said warmly as she delivered the placenta, closed the uterus with absorbable stitches then stapled the abdomen.

“I second that, my love!” Chance said leaning over and kissing her forehead. “Take a look at what you did…” He said moving his stool back so that she could see her daughter being cared for next to them.

Dr. Gibson finished up and applied bandages then the nurses removed the drape and oxygen mask. The pediatrician came over to their side and held out their new daughter for Ursula to hold.

“She’s perfectly healthy but because of some of the trauma you went through we’re going to take her up to the NICU for a little while to keep an eye on her. You’ll be able to see her by the time you’re out of recovery. Meanwhile the father can come with us as we take her downstairs.” The doctor said warmly.

“Oh Chance, she’s so beautiful!” Ursula said, staring at her lovely kitten. She took the kitten from the doctor’s arms and nuzzled her kitten causing her make a kind of giggle noise and to wave her little paws and legs around.

“She’s going to be a real heartbreaker.” Chance said with pride, staring down at his daughter. She had sandy colored fur like her father and much darker brown stripes, with dark brown ear tips. She also sported a small sprout of black hair on her head. It was too soon to know which of them her eyes would resemble. “Wait till everyone get’s a look at you!” He said, cooing at his daughter and caressing her cheek.
