Chance Furlong/T-Bone -- Garage mechanic and a SWAT Kat. 30 years old, Chance is the brawn between him and Jake. He's the pilot of the team. His daredevil stunts and general leap-before-looking attitude earned him the nickname Hotshot. Chance doesn't always think before he speaks or acts. He tends to be hot-headed. He loves to show off in front of she-kats. Two of his known fears (both of which he seemed to be able to overcome) were bugs and water.

Jake Clawson/Razor -- Garage mechanic and a SWAT Kat. 27 years old, Jake is the brains between him and Chance. He's the gadget whiz and missiles expert of the team. His awesome aim earned him the nickname Sure shot. Jake tends to be more cool and calculating than his partner is. He's also shy around she-kats unlike his partner. One of his biggest fears is hurting innocents.

Commander Ulysses Feral -- Commander of the Enforcers. In one word, Commander Feral is a grouch. He takes his job seriously, and he takes himself even more seriously. He hates the SWAT Kats for always showing up his Enforcers. He loves to complain about the SWAT Kats, but when it comes down to it, he knows deep down inside that Megakat City needs them just as it also needs the Enforcers.

Lieutenant Felina Feral -- Lieutenant Enforcer. Felina is the niece of Commander Feral. 28 years old, she's a headstrong she-kat and as dedicated (or maybe even more so) to her job as her uncle is. She, however, is all for the SWAT Kats. She stands up for them rather than bad-mouths them. Felina loves to carry plenty of weapons, and she "doesn't take no for an answer". She’s one of the two she-kats on the force. Her stubbornness has earned her a good reputation at Enforcer Headquarters and within the city, even though she doesn’t seem to listen to her Uncle’s orders, sometimes she just likes doing things her way. Hates paperwork as well as sitting around the Enforcer Headquarters doing nothing for a long period of time.

Lieutenant Jessie Clawson -- Lieutenant Enforcer. Twin sister of Jake Clawson. 27 years old, she’s the second she-kat on the force. She’s as dedicated to her job as her partner Felina. She hates paperwork and she’d rather go out and get herself into danger rather than doing it. Knows the true identities of the SWAT Kats and stands up for them. Usually finds herself fighting alongside of the SWAT Kats. Loves to carry at least one handgun with her at all times. She’s shy around the male population in Megakat City, but despite that she does her job well. She has her twin brother’s awesome aim as well as great pilot skills. Both of those things and the fact that she will stop at nothing to see justice done has earned her a good reputation around the Enforcer Headquarters an in the city.

Deputy Mayor Callie Briggs -- Deputy Mayor of Megakat City. Callie is the brains behind Mayor Manx. She basically does all the work that keeps the city running. She is the only one with a direct communication link to alert the SWAT Kats to danger.

The Pastmaster -- The Pastmaster is an undead troll-like being (all right so he's a red skeleton ::laughs::) from the Dark Ages. He’s over 800 years old. He's a sorcerer of sorts who gets most of his powers from a magic watch he carries with him. He uses it to summon things from/send them to other times throughout history.

HUD: Head-Up-Display

VTOL: Vertical-Take-Off-and-Landing

WSO: (pronounced ‘wizzo’) Weapons Systems Officer, or Weapons Systems Operator, either way it’s Razor.

Somewhere in the far future…

Megakat City.

T-Bone gunned the Turbokat, course set for the City Hall. Once Deputy Mayor Briggs had seen the strange hovering cloud up above the City Hall, she called them and the Enforcers. Somehow T-Bone suspected that this particular adventure was going to be one of the most weirdest they ever had.

*************************************************

Lieutenant Felina Feral guided her Enforcer helicopter towards the City Hall. Once Deputy Mayor Callie Briggs informed Commander Feral about the hovering cloud, Felina had asked him if she and her partner could check it out. Commander Feral let them. Now with Felina in the pilot’s seat and Lieutenant Jessie Clawson beside her the two were on their way to City Hall. Both welcomed some excitement for a change, and where eager for the action.

"City Hall, 8 miles enclosing" Reported Jessie looking up from the helicopter’s control panel.

Felina nodded and continued on guiding the chopper towards City Hall and the hovering cloud.

*************************************************

"I wonder if your sister is in on this." Said T-Bone keeping his eyes glued to the HUD.

"Knowing her and Felina, they wouldn’t miss it." Replied Razor grinning.

"Roger that." Answered T-Bone.

"T-Bone, there it is." Razor said pointing to his right.

"I see it." Responded T-Bone, guiding the Turbokat towards the vortex.

"I bet you a case of tuna, it's the Pastmaster"

"No need, buddy, who else uses a time vortex?" T-Bone replied engaging the VTOL mode and letting the jet hang in the air.

*************************************************

"Felina, there it is." Jessie said pointing to her right.

"Roger. This is gotta be the Pastmaster" Felina replied. "Hey looks like the SWAT Kats are here already." She said as she noticed the Turbokat.

"Where else would they be, Felina?" Asked Jessie unable to hide her smile.

"No argument there." Replied Felina stealing a glance at the swirling mass of changing colors.

Jessie picked up the chopper’s radio. "Lieutenant Jessie Clawson calling the Turbokat, come in guys."

"Razor here, Lieutenant. What can we do for you?" Came Razor’s reply.

"I wonder what the Pastmaster wants this time?" Asked Felina.

"Usually what does he want?" Asked T-Bone, as he heard Razor type something into the control panel.

"To bring back the Dark Ages *and* to marry Deputy Mayor Briggs." Replied Felina grimly.

"I hate that little troll." Stated Jessie.

"I hear that, Lieutenant." Remarked T-Bone.

"There he is." Said Razor, taking his eyes off from his weapons control panel.

Everyone’s attention turned towards the vortex. True the vortex had gained enough power to let things come through it. Slowly the Pastmaster began emerging through the time vortex.

"Lets take him down" Said Felina narrowing her eyes. She guided the chopper towards the vortex so Jessie could get a better shot at him.

"Lieutenant Feral, don’t go near the vortex." Warned her T-Bone.

"I’m not getting near it, just close enough so we can take him in." Replied Felina. "It’s all yours Jessie, take him down" She said to her partner.

"There’s too much interference in the guidance systems. Hard to get a lock on" She observed, as they both watched a missile zip past them and into the vortex. No effect followed except that the Pastmaster had been thrown back into the vortex.

"Aw crud." Came Razor’s voice through the radio. "His vortex is too strong and it’s getting stronger by the minute" Remarked Razor

"I hear you" All three replied in union.

Felina guided the chopper even closer to the vortex. She knew that she was risking it, by getting that close to it.

"What about now?" She asked.

Jessie checked her instruments and was about to reply, but the vortex’s force was too strong for the chopper. Felina returned her attention back to the chopper’s controls.

"The vortex is too strong, Felina. It’s gonna pull us in." Replied Jessie glancing at her instruments.

Felina nodded and kept fighting for the control of their chopper.

*************************************************

"Razor. Felina and Jessie are having trouble" T-Bone called for attention. "We gotta do something."

"I’m working on it" Said Razor furiously typing something in to the control panel. "Deploy grappling hooks." He said finally after locking on to the chopper. He pressed the release button and two small grappling hooks shot out from the Turbokat’s bomb-bay doors and flew towards the Enforcer chopper. It was evident that Felina was fighting for control, but despite that the chopper was still getting closer to the vortex. The grappling hooks attached themselves to the tail. Now all T-Bone had to do was bring the chopper to safety. He increased the thrusters to maximum, but even with that much power the Enforcer chopper was being pulled towards the vortex, but now it also pulled the Turbokat along with it. T-Bone too began to fight for control of his jet.

*************************************************

Both Felina and Jessie had felt the grappling hooks attach themselves to the chopper’s tail. That may have helped a bit, but Felina still had trouble.

"The Turbokat’s being pulled along with us." Observed Jessie, amazed by the force of the vortex. She knew that the Turbokat’s engines were powerful, after all she flown the Turbokat before, and up until now she haven’t seen anything stronger than the jet.

Felina was tightlipped as she struggled for control. "It’s not working." She said finally, as the chopper slowly got closer to the eye, but she wasn’t giving up just yet.

The chopper was shaking from the vortex’s power, despite being thrown about in their seats, both she-kats kept their cool. Just before the chopper entered the vortex, there was a sudden jerk that caught Felina and Jessie off guard. Both hit the control panel with their heads. Despite being dazed by the blow Jessie looked up at her partner. Felina was slumped in the pilot’s seat, the blow had knocked her out. Jessie blamed herself for not telling Felina to wear her helmet, after all those were regulations, and Felina was stubborn, she liked doing things her way. Ignoring the pain in her head, Jessie set the auxiliary controls and took control of the chopper. While keeping an eye on the vortex she reached over to her partner and checked her pulse. She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Felina was alive. Jessie turned her attention to the job ahead of her. Something shiny flashed by the chopper, hitting the windshield. Jessie had no time to see what it was, she had to try and control the chopper. She applied all the skill she had about flying to keep the chopper straight as they entered the vortex.

*************************************************

"I can’t hold it, buddy. We’re being pulled in as well." Said T-Bone urgently.

"It’s gone, and we’re next." Replied Razor upon seeing the chopper disappear.

"The thrusters are already at max." Confirmed T-Bone looking over at the throttles.

As the Turbokat neared the vortex the shaking became more frequent and more sudden, but T-Bone and Razor were ready for everything as their jet neared the eye.

*************************************************

Callie watched in horror as first the Enforcer chopper and then the Turbokat disappeared through the vortex. Then the vortex too disappeared, the Pastmaster didn’t emerge.

Callie grabbed the phone off her desk and asked for Commander Feral. He picked up the phone on the second ring.

"Commander, they’re gone." She informed him.

"Who?" Asked Commander Feral not understanding what she meant.

"The Enforcers and the SWAT Kats. They’ve been sucked in through the Pastmaster’s time vortex, but he himself didn’t appear," She said summing up what she saw just moments ago.

"I see. Well there’s nothing we can do about it, but wait until they show up, Ms. Briggs" Replied Feral.

"Commander, keep me informed." Said Callie.

"All right." He responded cutting the connection. He regretted immediately that he sent his niece and Lieutenant Clawson to check out that vortex, but deep inside he knew that this would happen in any case, because Felina never listened to his orders. She would’ve found another way to get to that vortex if not by his orders.

*************************************************

The Enforcer chopper with the Turbokat close behind appeared somewhere in what appeared to be an ancient city. Razor retracted the grappling hooks so both crafts could land.

The Turbokat landed first followed shortly by the chopper. T-Bone popped the canopy the shook his head to clear it and jumped out. Razor shook his head then jumped out too, while T-Bone went to check if there was any damage to the Turbokat, Razor waited for the chopper to land. After it did, Jessie jumped out and began inspecting her craft for damage. Razor walked towards her.

"Are you okay?" He asked concerned.

"I’m fine, but Felina’s inside the chopper unconscious" She replied climbing up to inspect the main rotor.

"What happened?" Asked Razor.

"A sudden jolt from the vortex." She explained, "I think she’ll be fine, she has a strong head." Said Jessie jumping down near Razor.

"No doubt there." He said grinning, and then his smile faded as he noticed the bump on his sister’s head. "Jessie, you’re hurt."

"What?" She said feeling her forehead. "Oh that, it’s nothing, just a little bump, I’ll live." She reassured him.

"Well if you say so." He replied shrugging his shoulders. Jessie had begun walking around the chopper once again. "Hey, what’s this?" He caught her attention. He pointed at the tail, there was something shinny attached to it. He went to untie it from the tail. Razor held it up in his paw as Jessie approached him.

"It’s the Pastmaster’s watch, but how…" She began, and then remembered the flash of gold when she was fighting for control. "Where did you find it?" She asked.

"On the tail, wrapped by its chain. Here you keep it, I think it would look good on you." He said handing her the watch.

"We’ll live." He said, Jessie nodded her head and then went inside the chopper.

Razor walked back to his partner.

"Any damage?" He called for attention.

T-Bone jumped down from the wing. "Nope just a few dings."

"Phew." Razor said with relief.

"Same here. How are the Enforcers?

"Jessie’s fine, but Felina’s not." He replied.

"Huh? What happened?" He asked

"A sudden jolt from the vortex, she inside the chopper unconscious." Razor explained.

T-Bone nodded. "Do you have any idea where we are or how do we get back?" He asked.

"By the looks of that." said Razor pointing at the Coliseum "I’d say we’re in Ancient Rome." He stated.

"Ancient Rome?" T-Bone repeated Razor’s words. Before they had visited the Dark Ages and even the future thanks to the Pastmaster, but he never went as far as Ancient Rome. He did go as far as the prehistoric era once, but no one besides the dinosaurs saw them.

"You don’t like Ancient Rome, buddy?" Asked Razor.

"It’s not that. I just though here we are with two flying machines," he said gesturing at the Turbokat and the Enforcer chopper, "and high tech weapons, and all they have are some spears and swords. How do they survive?" He wondered.

"Oh they manage somehow, I’m sure." Replied Razor with a grin. "Good thing we’re on the outskirts of the city though." He stated.

T-Bone nodded. They decided to run a complete check on the Turbokat’s systems just to make sure everything was fine. They went to work.

*************************************************

As Jessie climbed into the cockpit, she heard her friend groan.

"Oooh, anyone get the number of that tank that hit me?" Felina asked shaking her head to clear it.

"The Pastmaster" Replied Jessie with a grin.

"I didn’t know he could hit that hard." Felina stated.

"He can’t, but his time vortexes can." Jessie pointed out.

"Oh" Felina suddenly remembered what happened.

"Told you, you should always wear your helmet. Are you okay?" Asked Jessie concerned.

"I’m fine." Felina replied looking up at her friend. Jessie gasped. "What?" She asked.

"Your forehead, it’s bleeding." Jessie told her. Felina touched her forehead and hissed taking her paw away, and then looked at it, it was covered in blood.

Jessie went over to the small compartment at the back of the chopper that had everything needed if the pilot was stranded or lost. She got out a bottle of antiseptic and some cloth then went over to her partner who was shaking her head.

"Now hold still or I’ll punch you." She said as she poured some antiseptic on the piece of cloth.

"Some bedside manner, Clawson." Replied Felina.

"I know my last name, Felina, thank you for reminding me anyway." She said as she gently pressed the cloth to Felina’s head. Felina winced, but held still.

"Hold it in place while I go and get some bandages" She said walking over to the back of the chopper again.

"Jessie, it’s just a harmless bump, no bigger than yours." Objected Felina.

"Maybe, but I wasn’t knocked out by the blow." Replied Jessie heading back with some bandage.

"That’s because your head is thinker." Felina replied stifling a laugh.

"Ha, ha Felina. So hilarious. But the real reason is because I’m wearing a helmet." Jessie replied with a grin tapping her helmet.

"Hmph kidding, Jessie, kidding." Reassured her Felina.

"One good thing, you’re okay." Said Jessie with a laugh as Felina threw her a look that said ‘you’re nuts’.

"Yeah, but where the heck are we?" She asked as Jessie taped the bandage to her forehead.

"Judging by the looks of things, I’d say Ancient Rome." She confirmed. "There you go, good as new." She said finishing up, Felina stood up and only then she noticed the watch hanging around Jessie’s neck.

"Wedding present from the Pastmaster?" She asked gesturing at the watch.

"No, more like a farewell present from Pastmaster. We don’t know where the heck he is." She said shooting her friend a look.

"What?" Asked Felina.

"Besides he loves Deputy Mayor Briggs, so why would he give *me* a wedding present?" She asked.

"Who knows them sorcerers?" Said Felina shrugging her shoulders and jumping down from the cockpit, to look around. "I see the SWAT Kats are busy." She said gesturing at the Turbokat and the two tom-kats busily tinkering with the systems.

"Hey guys." Called Jessie.

Razor looked up from his control panel.

"How are you feeling, Lieutenant Feral?" He asked.

"Alive, better than before at least. Can someone please tell me how do we get back?" She asked.

T-Bone looked up from his HUD "Ask Razor." he said shrugging his shoulders.

"Anyone got the ‘Tome of Time’?" asked Jessie, meaning the Pastmaster’s spell-book.

"Not on me" Replied T-Bone.

"Thought so."

"Well I guess we’d better go and check out the city. Maybe someone can help us." Said Felina.

"Good idea. We’ll stay here and keep an eye out for things."

"Roger. We’ll keep in touch." Reassured them Jessie after receiving a look from Razor.

Jessie and Felina gave them a thumbs-up and started walking towards the city.

*************************************************

Calphurnia sat on her bed thinking about her dream. ‘What if the dream is true?’ She asked herself. Was she about to loose Caesar? She hoped not, but then again, she knew that not everyone liked Caesar. They thought he was too powerful. She sat on her bed mulling over the idea of going over to the Senate and making sure he was okay.

*************************************************

Jessie and Felina watched from nearby as Mark Anthony came to the Capitol with Caesar’s body in his arms.

"We’re somewhere around 44BC" Stated Jessie as they watched Mark Anthony carry the body. "They’ve just killed Caesar."

Felina nodded. "Yeah, and all we know is that he was killed by the Senators, because he was too powerful, or at least that’s what they thought."

As Mark Anthony walked past them Felina caught his attention. He turned to look at her.

"Are you Mark Anthony?" She asked.

"Yes and who are you?" He asked amazed, he has never seen the strange creatures before.

"I’m Lieutenant Felina Feral and this is Lieutenant Jessie Clawson. We’re friends." Reassured him Felina as Jessie walked over to Caesar’s body and checked his pulse.

"He’s alive. Barely, but alive." She stated.

Mark Anthony’s face brightened. "Then we have to see that he receives medical attention, and fast." He said. "Come with me."

The two followed him. "Where are you taking him?" Asked Felina.

"Home." Came his short reply.

"But, if they just tried to kill him, then they may find out that he’s still alive and in his house and they’ll come to finish him off." Stated Felina.

"Do you have any suggestions where to take him then?" He asked.

"Yes. We can take him back to where we came form." Replied Jessie.

"Take him back to Megakat City?" Asked Felina.

"Not Megakat City, back to our helicopter."

Mark Anthony was amazed and confused.

"Megakat City? Helicopter?" He asked.

"We’re from Megakat City, far in the future. And you’ll see what a helicopter is once we get there. Now c’mon we have to hurry up." Said Jessie.

The three started walking faster with Felina in the lead. Mark Anthony was amazed by these females. From the first time he saw them he knew that they weren’t from anyplace near Rome. Something told him to trust those two she-kats.

*************************************************

"Here they come Razor. They have someone with them and he’s carrying something." Said T-Bone as he sighted the two she-kats.

Razor activated the 3D-radar to make sure. True enough it was Jessie and Felina coming with a male carrying another male. "It’s Mark Anthony, and the guy in his arms is Julius Caesar. We’re somewhere around 44BC." He stated as the pieces of the puzzle finally fell into place.

"Julius Caesar? Mark Anthony? Whoa, talk about ancient history." Remarked T-Bone.

"Amazing." Was all Razor could say. He switched off the radar and jumped down from the WSO’s seat to help his sister and her partner, and what appeared to be their new friend.

*************************************************

Jessie started walking faster as soon as she sighted Razor walking towards them.

"Is that who I think it is?" Asked Razor amazed as soon as she reached him.

"If you mean that this is Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony, then yes." She replied.

"Where did you find them?"

"At the Capitol. Caesar is still alive, barely but alive." She remarked as Felina and Mark Anthony approached them.

"Mark Anthony, this is Razor."

Razor and Mark Anthony exchanged greetings. Mark Anthony wondered where were they from and who they were as they walked towards the two crafts.

"Mark Anthony this is a helicopter." Said Jessie gesturing at the Enforcer chopper. "And this is the Turbokat." She said pointing at the jet. T-Bone jumped down from the cockpit to greet them.

"This is T-Bone." Said Felina.

T-Bone and Mark Anthony exchanged greetings. Mark Anthony was amazed and confused by the four in front of him.

"What do these machines do?" He asked.

"Fly." Came T-Bone’s short reply.

Mark Anthony shook his head still confused, but decided to leave the subject. Right now Caesar was more important than his understanding of the subject.

"Take him inside." Said Jessie.

Mark Anthony carefully stepped inside the cockpit holding Caesar’s body in his arms. He carefully laid his friend down onto the helicopter’s floor. Razor and Jessie climbed in after him, followed by Felina and T-Bone.

"We’ll take care of him." Said Razor as Jessie took out the med. kit from the compartment in the back of the chopper.

"Right" She said smiling up at him. "All four of us passed the exam. We know what to do in an emergency."

"But we’ll let them do the job, come Mark Anthony we’ll explain things to you." Said Felina.

While Razor and Jessie attended to Caesar, T-Bone and Felina began explaining their story to Mark Anthony who listened with amazement.

*************************************************

"So tell me what happened back at the Capitol." Said Razor as he disinfected the wounds on Caesar’s chest.

As she told him what had happened, Razor wondered where the Pastmaster was. Once she finished her story, he nodded grimly.

"The wounds don’t look to deep." Observed Jessie as she handed Razor some bandage.

"Yeah, lets hope he’ll live."

"Yes and then we’ll find out who wanted to kill him, and bring them to justice." Said Jessie her jaw set.

"Any action is welcome, eh Jessie?" Asked Razor amused.

"Well I can’t just sit back and wait until the Pastmaster opens up another one of his time vortexes." She said shrugging her shoulders.

"*If* he’ll open up a time vortex. Remember most of his power comes from his watch, and you have it." Razor pointed out.

"True, I wonder where he is though."

"Anywhere but here." Reasoned Razor.

Jessie nodded in agreement. "Hey maybe someone here has a spell-book or something." She said.

"Like who?" Asked her brother.

"They had soothsayers, back in Ancient Rome. They were like magicians and people who were able to predict future. Maybe we can go and ask them." She said shrugging her shoulders.

"Good idea, but they won’t just give the spell book to you."

"I’ll convince them." She said grinning and patting her gun strapped to her right leg.

"Jessie." Razor looked at her skeptically. "You’re not just going to burst in there shooting are you?" He asked.

"Who me? Nope, I’m just going to make sure they’ll give it to me." She said with a grin.

"Providing they have it." Replied Razor still not sure if his sister was joking or not.

"I’m kidding Razor, of course I can’t just barge in there waving my gun and yelling at them to give me the spell book. I’ll talk to them and they’ll give it to me. Remember I have a way with words. Plus barging in like that without a reason is not my way, you know that." She said grinning.

"No doubt about it." He replied. "There. Now we’ll have to wait for him to wake up." He said taping the last bandage in place.

"Great. Then I can go back to Rome and look for the soothsayer." She said.

"Oh no you don’t. I’m coming with you." He stated defiantly.

"Suit yourself." She said jumping outside from the canopy.

Razor stayed inside to look after Caesar.

*************************************************

"Brutus." Said Cassius. "Caesar’s body is gone, and so is Mark Anthony."

Brutus looked up at him. "What do you mean gone?" He asked.

"Gone. They were last seen back at the Capitol with two feline females in strange uniforms."

"Well don’t just stand there. Find them. After all the planning I don’t want my plan to be ruined by some women." He said angrily.

"Okay." Cassius said exiting Brutus’s house. Brutus was hungry for power, Cassius knew that. To please his friend he began the long search for Caesar’s body, Mark Anthony and the two she-kats.

*************************************************

Once Cassius had left, Brutus was on the rampage. He wanted that power, he would do anything in order to get that power. Anything included the murder of Julius Caesar, but he didn’t anticipate someone ruining his plan, especially some women who according to him knew nothing about wars, armies, politics and everything else that men did. He wanted to find the two females and destroy them, before anyone else can get the power he only dreamt of before. He couldn’t let some women destroy his dreams.

*************************************************

"He’s coming to." Razor called from inside the chopper.

The four stopped talking and went inside the chopper’s cockpit. Mark Anthony’s face brightened even more once he heard the news.

Slowly Caesar opened his eyes and looked around the strange craft and at the strange felines around him.

"Caesar? Are you okay?" Asked Mark Anthony.

Caesar nodded. "Who are they?" He whispered throwing a look at the felines.

"They’re the people who saved you, Caesar. I though you were dead, but these two proved to me that you’re not dead." He said pointing at Jessie and Felina. He introduced all four of them to Caesar.

"Thank you." Caesar replied and tried to sit up but immediately decided against it because he was still dizzy.

"No problem, always glad to help someone in need." Said Felina and Jessie in union then grinned at each other.

"Do you know the people who tried to kill you?" Asked Razor carefully.

Caesar nodded. "Brutus, Decius, Cassius, Cinna and Metellus." He replied.

"Then we’ve got to stop them from coming after you again." T-Bone spoke up.

"Yes, question is, how?" Asked Felina.

"We’ll find him and then bring them to justice." Replied Jessie. "In fact me and Razor had already decided that we will go and try to find a soothsayer in order to look for a spell-book. We’ll find Brutus and his gang too."

"Oh no you don’t I’m going with you." Replied Felina.

"Someone has to stay here and look after Caesar." Replied Razor. "Plus we may need back-up."

"Either me or T-Bone will stay here. I know we’ll flip a coin to see who’ll go." Felina said digging in her pocket for a coin.

"All right." T-Bone had no objections at that.

"Heads you go, tails I go." Said Felina. T-Bone nodded his head as Felina flipped the coin, and then caught it. Both glanced at the coin. It landed on tails. "Yes. I’m going with them." Felina said smiling as she put the coin away. "No hard feelings T-Bone." She said grinning.

"You won fair and square Lieutenant Feral." He said.

"Then it’s decided. Felina, Razor and I, go to find a spell-book of some sort and Brutus’s gang. While you T-Bone will keep an eye on Caesar." Jessie summed up what they had decided.

"What do I do?" Asked Mark Anthony.

"T-Bone will keep you company." Felina spoke up.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Caesar now sat up and was leaning at one of the helicopter’s walls listening to the strange felines and Mark Anthony talk. Throughout his life he’s seen many strange things, but he has never seen something as strange as this. He watched as the felines exchanged high-five and the two females and the small tom-kat left.

"Let me tell you what’s this all about." Said T-Bone telling him everything what had happened to them so far, and how they got to be here in Rome. Caesar listened with amazement, while Mark Anthony looked around the interior of the helicopter.

*************************************************

"Imagine, Ancient Rome, and we saw it with our own eyes." Said Jessie her voice full of amazement as the trio walked back to the city.

"Yeah but better not tell anyone. Because they’ll think you’re ready for the funny farm." Affirmed Razor.

"She’s ready for the funny farm, but is the funny farm ready for her?" Said Felina hiding a grin.

Jessie rolled up her eyes, but didn’t say anything. She didn’t mind her friend teasing her once in a while.

"How do we find Brutus and his gang?" Asked Razor changing the subject.

"Ask around the place." Answered Felina.

"Yeah as simple as firing a gun." Said Jessie patting her gun holster.

"Don’t even think about it." Warned her Razor.

"Hey I need the target practice, okay?" She retorted with a grin.

"Your aim is perfect enough as it is." Said Felina.

"I don’t mind extra target practice though." Said Jessie with a laugh. "C’mon guys, I’m kidding." She said finally. "It’s not like I ever shot before thinking. That’s not my thing."

"You got that right, Lieutenant." Said Razor with a grin.

"Okay back to business. Maybe we’ll do this, while Felina and I look for Brutus, you, Razor look for the spell-book." Offered Jessie

"Perfect. Just like looking for a needle in the haystack, except that we don’t know where they haystack is." Razor pointed out.

"Oh yes we do know where the haystack is." Said Jessie.

"Where?" Felina and Razor asked in union.

"Somewhere in Rome." She said shrugging her shoulders.

"That makes sense." Observed Felina.

"Heh, well we’d better split up here." Said Razor. "Keep me in touch."

"Roger that." Replied Jessie.

Razor walked towards the market place while Felina and Jessie began their search for Brutus and his gang.

*************************************************

Razor walked through the marketplace amazed by the way of life the Romans led. He wondered if he would recognize the soothsayer if he saw one. He decided against asking someone, because he didn’t want to attract attention to himself. All he could do for now is keep his eyes open for anything that may come his way.

*************************************************

"Brutus. The two she-kats have been sighted near the Coliseum." Said Cassius, once he came back to Brutus’s house.

"Well don’t just stand there. Get Cinna, Metellus and Decius and go after them. Bring them here and don’t come back if you don’t get them." Yelled Brutus angrily.

"Okay." Said Cassius and disappeared once again, he knew when not to argue with Brutus.

‘I must destroy them, and then nothing will stop me from getting the power.’ He thought and laughed out loud.

"I will destroy them. No one can stop me." He shouted to no one in particular.

*************************************************

Cassius gathered Cinna, Metellus and Decius and explained the plan to them. He was scared of Brutus. With more and more time Brutus had wanted more and more power, and now when he was about to achieve getting the power, his plan was ruined by some women. Cassius wondered who they were. He was sure they weren’t from anyplace around here. They continued to discuss the plan Cassius had created.

*************************************************

Caesar was now able to walk around and he was feeling much better now. T-Bone had left Caesar and Mark Anthony in the Enforcer chopper instructing them not to touch anything on the control panel.

"Do you think we can trust them, Anthony?" Asked Caesar.

"They saved you and now they’re out there looking for Brutus. I say we should trust them."

Caesar nodded. "They are strange aren’t they?" He asked.

"Strange yes, but they’re our friends. If it weren’t for them you’d be dead, Caesar."

"True, and we should thank them once they return."

"A good idea, Caesar. It’s the least we can do to repay them."

Again Caesar nodded in response. His wounds still hurt but he ignored them. He though about why would Brutus want him dead. He decided to ask his friend.

"Anthony, why would Brutus want me dead?" He asked.

"He’s jealous of your power, Caesar. He wants the power for himself." Suggested Mark Anthony.

The idea hadn’t come up on Caesar’s mind. "That could be it. Anthony you’re a genius."

"I’m a genius just like you Caesar." Replied Anthony smiling.

They continued to talk about Brutus and his gang.

*************************************************

Felina and Jessie were near the Coliseum. There was almost no crowd there.

"What exactly are we looking for, Felina?" Asked Jessie as they walked past the entrance.

"Brutus and his goons." Felina replied.

"But we don’t know how they look like."

"Shouldn’t be too hard to find out." Replied Felina.

Jessie shrugged her shoulders and was about to say something when Razor’s voice caught her attention from her radio. She snatched it up from her belt.

"Lieutenant Clawson here, what can I do for you, Razor."

"Did you find Brutus?" He asked.

"No, but we’re still looking for him. Did you find the soothsayer?" Asked Jessie as she glanced at Felina, who was looking at someone who had exited from the Coliseum. Four men had exited from there and headed in their direction. Jessie walked to the Coliseum’s wall and continued the conversation with her brother.

"Well I know where he lives and I’m on my way there now." Razor stated.

*************************************************

As Jessie continued to talk to Razor, Felina looked skeptically at the four men who headed their way. ‘Could they be Caesar’s assassins?’ She thought. Her instinct told her to get out of here, but she stayed in her place, wondering what they were going to do once they got near enough. Just in case she kept her paw on her gun in it’s holster strapped to her right leg.

*************************************************

"There they are." Said Cassius.

"What should we do?" Asked Cinna.

"Stick to the plan." Responded Cassius.

The rest nodded and moved on towards Felina and Jessie.

"Just make sure they don’t suspect anything. And remember, Brutus wants them alive." Warned everyone Cassius.

Cassius walked up to Felina who still kept her paw on the holster. He smiled at her.

"Excuse me, are you new here?" He asked, while the others spread around Felina.

Before replying Felina glanced at Jessie who was still talking to Razor. "Yes. Yes we are. And we’re looking for someone." She said at last, keeping her guard up just in case.

"And who might that be?" Asked Cassius.

"A man named Brutus." She replied a little skeptical of the four men. Despite that her instinct told her to get out of there, she stayed in her place.

"May I require what for are you looking for Brutus?" Asked Cassius and then nodded at his men. Two of them grabbed Felina’s arms and held her still.

"Hey. Let me go." She shouted surprised. ‘Aw, crud.’ She thought. ‘so much for being friendly.’

Jessie glanced back at her and saw that Felina was in trouble.

"Razor, we’ve got problems, I’ll get back to you, out." She said cutting the connection, putting the radio back and the reaching for her gun she walked with a fast pace to where the four men and Felina were.

"Let her go." She said. Her paw on her holster, ready to take the weapon out any second.

"Not so fast." Replied Cassius and Metellus moved up behind Jessie.

"Jessie look out." Felina shouted suddenly.

Jessie spun around to face Metellus, without thinking she hit him behind his head. He fell to the ground unconscious.

"Watch it. I’m not a she-kat to be crossed." She warned Cassius. Then taking out her gun she pointed it at him. "Now let her go, or your boss gets it."

"He ain’t out boss, Brutus is." Said Cinna.

"Shut up you fool" Hissed Cassius.

Felina struggled to get free from both men, but they held her with an iron grasp. Then suddenly she remembered something that Jessie had taught her, she grinned up at her partner who was still holding her gun pointed at Cassius. Jessie noticed the grin and immediately knew what Felina was up to. She nodded her head keeping the gun leveled on Cassius.

Cassius was about to say something, but decided against it once he saw Jessie’s look.

Felina relaxed her shoulders and counted to five, then suddenly she bolted out of the men’s grasp. "Jessie run" She yelled as she herself began running. Shortly Jessie joined her as they rounded the Coliseum.

"Great thinking Felina. Good thing you remembered the trick." Jessie said running beside her.

"Where do we run? Those guys will be behind us any second." Felina asked as they kept running.

"Dunno, just keep running until further notice." Replied Jessie.

*************************************************

Cassius recovered first.

"Well don’t just stand there, go get them." He shouted at his men. "Brutus will kill us all if we don’t come back with them."

The rest gradually recovered and started running after the fleeing she-kats. Metellus came to and shook his head.

"Man she hits hard." He complained to Cassius as he picked himself off the ground.

"Go after them, you idiot." Spat Cassius angrily.

"Where did they go?" Asked Metellus.

"Over there. Hurry up you fool." Cassius screamed.

Metellus stood up and started running in the direction indicated by Cassius.

*************************************************

Soon Metellus had rejoined the others. They followed Felina and Jessie as the two she-kats continued to run to nowhere in particular.

"How do we catch them?" Asked Cinna.

"The only way to stop them is to knock them out, since Brutus wants them alive." Said Decius as they continued to pursue Felina and Jessie.

"You try and catch them first." Said Metellus rubbing his head.

"Oh c’mon, they’re just women, we’re warriors." Said Cinna

"Something tells me they’re not just women, Cinna. Remember the other one had some kind of a weapon." Said Metellus.

"Just shut up and get them." Said Decius frustrated.

"When will they get tired?" Wondered Cinna who was already out of breath.

"I said shut up." Decius screamed.

*************************************************

Felina and Jessie were both breathing heavily now, they’ve been running for a long time. The men were still in hot pursuit behind them.

"C’mon we’ve got to go faster." Said Jessie as they run.

"Where’s an Enforcer chopper when you need one?" Asked Felina.

"Maybe we should divide? That way they won’t catch both of us." Suggested Jessie.

"No way. Last time we did that, you got caught." Reminded her Felina.

"Well this ain’t last time." Said Jessie.

"All right, but remember watch your tail." Warned her Felina, they hadn’t noticed that the men weren’t chasing them anymore.

"You too, see you back at the landing site." Said Jessie as she continued to run, Felina stopped and risked a glance behind her. The men weren’t there. She decided to turn around and run in the opposite direction Jessie did.

She carefully run back, as she got closer to the gate, she stopped to catch her breath. She slowed down a bit and started walking past the gate casually. Suddenly she was grabbed from behind by someone. She turned her head around, it was the same guys again, except now all three held her. She was powerless against them. ‘Aw crud, not again’ she thought.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"I dunno, Brutus has to decide that, but he definitely doesn’t want you to live." Said Cassius walking towards her from the shadows.

"Let me go." She said angrily.

"I don’t think so my dear." Said Cinna with a laugh. He then nodded to his men and Decius hit Felina hard behind her head. She slumped down in the grasp of the men.

"Excellent. Take her to Brutus, while we find the other one." Ordered Cassius to Cinna and Decius.

Cinna and Decius carried unconscious Felina through Rome to Brutus’s house leaving Metellus, and Cassius alone.

"Where’s the other one?" Asked Cassius.

"I dunno, they’ve split up."

"Find her, now"

*************************************************

As Jessie ran, she felt that something was wrong. She risked a glance behind her. Nobody was there. She stopped. ‘That’s strange. If they want us so bad, why aren’t they chasing us?’ She though to herself as she began walking fast. A stone zipped past her, causing her to leap out of the way, she spun around to face Cassius and Metellus.

"So where’s everyone else? Don’t tell me they’ve chickened out." She said reaching for her gun.

"I wouldn’t do that if I were you, my dear" Said Cassius with an evil grin. His grin reminded her of Dark Kat’s grin.

"Why shouldn’t I?" She asked defiantly.

Instead of answering Cassius nodded to Metellus and they both attacked her. She nimbly sidestepped them, and took out her gun.

"I warned you. I’m not a she-kat to cross." She said pointing it at them. "Now don’t move."

Cassius however had decided to play around with the she-kat. He took a step forward, before he could finish it, however, he felt something zip by him and hit his shoulder. He screamed in pain, and grabbed at his shoulder.

"Now tell me what I want to know, or the next one will go to your head." Replied Jessie calmly holding up her gun. Smoke was lifting up in the air from the barrel.

Metellus was stunned, he couldn’t move.

"Now where is Brutus?" Asked Jessie.

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because I have the weapon, and you don’t" She replied.

"Oh, but we have your friend." Replied Cassius with a mischievous grin

"Felina?" Jessie said stunned. She lowered her gun, she couldn’t believe it that Felina got caught. Usually it was her that gets caught. Metellus took that moment to attack her. She tried sidestepping him, but was too late. Metellus had grabbed her and held her tightly.

"Let me go, you creep." She yelled trying to get out of his grasp, but he was too strong for her.

"It’s pay back time." Said Metellus with a grin. While holding her by her arms with a steel grip with one hand, he raised the other hand above her. Jessie knew what was coming next. ‘Aw crud.’ She thought. She felt a blow behind her head and then nothing.

Cassius looked at Metellus. "Excellent, get her to Brutus’s house."

Metellus obeyed and carried the unconscious Enforcer to Brutus’s house.

*************************************************

Razor was worried, Jessie had said that they had problems and that she’ll get back to him. Two hours past, she still didn’t. He risked contacting her by radio, but all he got was static.

"Aw, crud." He said in frustration, after trying to contact his sister again.

He finally found the soothsayer’s house, but right now he was worried. He hoped that nothing had happened. Deciding that she probably switched off her radio, he knocked on the door to the house.

The soothsayer had let him in. Razor had seen some weird people before, but the soothsayer had outranked them all. The soothsayer’s way of moving seemed erratic to Razor. Sort of like ballet. Either he had too much on his mind or he didn’t know what he wanted.

"Do you have a spell-book?" Asked Razor.

The soothsayer cast him a strange look. "A spell-book. Oooh how nice. Let me see." With that he disappeared in the back room.

‘Either this guy took ballet lessons, or he’s nuts.’ Thought Razor.

A few minutes later the soothsayer returned carrying a stack of papers, along with the papers there was a book that seemed familiar to Razor. The soothsayer handed him those things.

"Here take a look." The soothsayer almost sung.

"Thanks" Said Razor and immediately took out the book. His heart leapt in recognition. "Bingo! ‘The Tome of Time’." He said, his voice full of excitement. "Can I take this?"

"Sure. I’m not using it anyway." The soothsayer said.

"Thanks, you’ve been a great help." Replied Razor as he exited the soothsayer’s house.

He began his journey back to the landing site. ‘One down, two to go.’ He though. They still had to catch Brutus and get back to Megakat City. Again he tried to contact Jessie by radio with no luck, his instincts told him that something was wrong.

*************************************************

"T-Bone." Caesar called to the tom-kat who was inside the Turbokat checking the systems.

He looked up from the control panel. "Yes, Caesar?"

"I though we would help you to defeat Brutus. I need to get my weapons back at the house. Mark Anthony will get my armor and my weapons and then we’ll find your friends."

"Are you sure you’re up to it?" Asked T-Bone skeptically.

"I’m sure."

"Fine."

"Go Anthony, but hurry up."

Anthony started his walk down to the city and Caesar’s house.

"How are you feeling?" Asked T-Bone.

"I feel much better now, thanks to you and your friends." Replied Caesar.

T-Bone grinned in the answer and jumped down from the pilot’s seat to the ground not far from Caesar.

"These females you’re with. Who are they?" Asked Caesar.

"Enforcers. Sort of like an army." Replied T-Bone.

"Women in the army?" Caesar wondered. It was unheard of here, but then again wherever these felines came from anything could be heard of.

*************************************************

Slowly Felina had regained consciousness. She shook her head to clear it and then observed her situation. Her paws where tied behind her back, her gun gone. She looked around the room she was in and noticed Jessie sitting in a nearby chair, evidently still unconscious.

"Aw, crud!" She exclaimed. "What next?" She asked no one.

"Ah I see you are awake." Said Brutus entering the room.

"I take it you’re Brutus." Guessed Felina.

"Yes I am Brutus. And who are you?"

"You send you goons after us, knock us out and bring us here just to find out who we are? Couldn’t you just ask like normal people?" Felina asked.

"That’s not the reason why I brought you here." Said Brutus. "Now answer my question who are you?"

"Lieutenant Felina Feral, Enforcers." She retorted.

"Where is Caesar?" Asked Brutus.

"How should I know?"

"I have witnesses saying that they saw you and Mark Anthony with Caesar’s body. Where is he?"

"Why should I tell you?" Felina shot back angrily.

"If you don’t then your friend gets it." He threatened her. "No matter you both will die anyway." He said laughing.

"So hilarious, Brutus." Felina said angrily. "What do you want?"

"I ask the questions here, not you." He shot back at her. "Where’s Caesar?"

"I won’t tell you." Felina said stubbornly.

"Maybe you want to reconsider that answer." He suggested taking out a knife and moving towards her.

She glanced at the blade. "No." She said her jaw set. She wondered what would come next. Brutus held the knife above her and the in one swift move slashed her shoulder. Felina winced and bit her lip in order not to scream.

"I will leave you now to think over your answer. I will return shortly" He said wiping her blood from the blade and exiting the room.

‘What is this guy? Dark Kat’s ancestor?’ Felina thought as she looked at her shoulder, the wound didn’t seem to be too deep. She breathed a sigh of relief. Closing her eyes she began thinking of her situation and how should she get out. Ten minutes later she snapped open her eyes when she heard a groan. She looked over at her partner, who was beginning to stir.

"W-where am I?" Asked Jessie to no one. "Aw, crud!" She said in frustration once she remembered what happened. She looked over her situation. Her paws tied behind her, and her gun gone, she wondered why they didn’t take her radio. "Felina?" She called.

"I’m here." Replied Felina, Jessie glanced back at her.

"Felina your arm. Who did that?" She asked concerned.

"Brutus." Felina replied.

"If I ever get out of here alive, I wanna get him" Said Jessie angrily.

"Easy, I don’t think we’re getting out of here so easily." Said Felina.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Brutus said that either we tell him where Caesar is or in any case we’ll die."

"Let him kill me I’ll never talk." Jessie replied narrowing her eyes.

"Hey I didn’t tell him either, why do you think I got that?" Felina said throwing a glance at her shoulder as she struggled with her ropes.

Jessie too began struggling with her ropes, wondering if they were ever getting out of here alive.

*************************************************

T-Bone noticed Razor walking closer and closer towards the site. He noticed that his partner had something in his right paw. ‘Could this be our ticket out of here?’ He asked himself. He jumped down from the Turbokat’s wing and went to meet his partner.

"Hey buddy." He called.

"I found it. ‘The Tome of Time’" Said Razor holding up the book and grinning.

T-Bone’s grin got wider. "Perfect, now all we have to do is wait until Felina and Jessie return from their part of the mission, and we can be on our way back."

"There’s one or rather two little problems T-Bone." Said Razor his grin fading.

"What’s that?"

Razor told him of the conversation he had with Jessie and how she told him that there was trouble and that she would contact him again.

"It’s been almost four hours and she still didn’t contact me." He finished.

"Maybe she forgot." T-Bone suggested.

"She doesn’t forget things like that. If she said she’ll contact us then she will, *unless* something’s wrong."

Caesar emerged from the helicopter rubbing his eyes. T-Bone had persuaded him to take a little nap if he was to fight. He heard Razor’s last words.

"Is there anything wrong?" He asked.

"Lieutenant Feral and Lieutenant Clawson were supposed to check back with Razor almost four hours ago, and they haven’t." Explained T-Bone.

"Do you think Brutus has them?" Asked Razor, not sure if he wanted to believe it.

"I don’t know." Replied Caesar. "Lets hope not."

"Where’s Mark Anthony?" Asked Razor noticing that Anthony was missing.

"He went to get my armor and my weapons. I’m going to help you defeat Brutus." Explained Caesar.

"Are you sure you’re up to it?" Asked Razor.

"I’m sure." Confirmed Caesar.

"Well if you say so." Razor said.

"We’ll wait until Mark Anthony comes back and then we’ll go in." Said T-Bone.

"Assuming he has them, where do you think he’ll keep them?" Asked Razor.

"His house, I presume." Replied Caesar after a short pause.

"Do you know where it is?" Asked T-Bone.

"Of course."

"Good, then we’ll wait for Mark Anthony and then we’ll strike." Said Razor narrowing his eyes. He still hoped that they were fine, but chances of that decreased with every passing minute.

Soon Mark Anthony had returned with the things Caesar needed. Caesar dressed up in the armor and hung his swords on his belt. He was now ready. To make things easier and faster T-Bone and Caesar took the Turbokat, while Razor and Mark Anthony took the Cyclotron. Both Caesar and Mark Anthony were amazed by the machines and with what agility the two tom-kats drove them. Soon they were not far from Brutus’s house. T-Bone landed the Turbokat in a nice big field, soon Razor drove up on the Cyclotron and put it back inside the Turbokat. They were only four houses away from Brutus’s place.

*************************************************

Both Felina and Jessie where hard at work trying to get free from the ropes that were tied around their wrists, when Brutus entered the room once again.

"Ah I see, you’re awake too. My people tell me you’re a tough little cookie." He said addressing to Jessie. "In fact they say you two were hard to catch." He said with a laugh.

Jessie bit back a retort. ‘Now is not the time to get myself and Felina killed.’ She thought, keeping her mind on the ropes she was sawing through with her claws.

"Why do you want Caesar dead?" Asked Felina.

"Why do I want him dead? He’s too powerful and he doesn’t use his power to a good extent." Said Brutus.

"As if you will use it up to a good extent." Mouthed Jessie angrily.

"Of course I will, but you won’t live to see me use it." He said with a laugh.

"He’s so entertaining, right Felina?" Asked Jessie.

Felina nodded her head, but inside she wondered what was Jessie up to. Then realization hit her. Her partner was going to frustrate, and get everything out of Brutus, before she went down. She hoped she was wrong, but then again they both had a slim chance getting out alive in any case.

"I don’t like sarcasm." Brutus warned Jessie. She shot him one of her ‘don’t mess with me’ looks. "As I was saying, my dears. You gave my people a hard time. Who are you?"

"I already answered that question" Felina retorted.

"You did, but she didn’t."

"Does it matter?" Asked Jessie. "We’re going to die anyway."

Felina wondered if her partner was giving up hope, but no, she caught a gleam in Jessie’s eyes that said they may have a chance.

"I just want to know what to write on your tombstones." Said Brutus laughing.

Felina was about to say something, but a look from Jessie had stopped her. Then she understood what her partner was up to.

"I ask you again, who are you. I’m not going to ask as nice next time." He warned Jessie.

"If he calls this nice, what he calls bad?" Asked Felina with a laugh.

"I told you, I don’t like sarcasm." Said Brutus walking over to her and pressing his fingers hard on her raw wound. Felina hissed in pain and tried to stay awake as darkness slowly engulfed her. Brutus pressed harder, she gave in and her head rolled to the side.

"Leave her alone, you creep." Jessie yelled upon seeing her partner’s condition. ‘What is he? Dark Kat’s ancestor?’ she thought. Back in Megakat City Dark Kat was the only one who treated his prisoners like that.

Brutus calmly wiped the blood with a piece of cloth and then looked at Jessie. "I’m asking you for the last time. Who are you?"

"Lieutenant Jessie Clawson, Enforcers." She replied, wondering if she’d made a mistake. Judging by the look on Brutus’s face she hasn’t.

"I ask you the same thing I asked her." He said pointing at the unconscious Felina. "Where’s Caesar, and don’t play games with me. I know he’s somewhere and you know where."

"I don’t know, and even if I knew I wouldn’t tell you." She replied still sawing the ropes, wondering if Brutus had noticed her doing that. She felt her ropes loosen a bit. ‘Yes’

"Tough as her I see." Said Brutus walking up to her and slapping her. "Where is he?"

"You shouldn’t have done that creep." Said Jessie her voice filled with anger.

"And why is that?" He asked grinning at her.

Now the rope was loose enough for Jessie to get her paws out, slowly she eased them out and then with lightning movements she grabbed Brutus by his neck.

"That’s why." She said through her clenched teeth.

Brutus was evidently surprised by the action. He recovered fast and then struggled to get free. Although Jessie was strong but small, Brutus was able to overpower her by using his weight and his height. He backhanded her once he was free. She dropped down to the floor and shook her head trying to clear it. ‘I made a huge mistake’ She though grimly as Brutus picked her up off the floor.

"Great, now I know how the Pastmaster felt when I grabbed him." Said Jessie under her breath.

"You’re a tough little lady, too bad you have to die’" He said with a laugh. As he brought his hand up in the air and prepared to strike her, the door burst open behind him. Jessie grinned at the sight she saw. Both Caesar and Anthony were dressed in the Roman style, with T-Bone and Razor behind them. All held their weapons up pointed at Brutus. She breathed a sigh of relief. Brutus lowered his fist, then turned to see who it was who had interrupted him.

"Caesar?" He said surprised. "You’re supposed to be dead."

"I would be if it weren’t for them. Now I suggest you let them go now, or I’ll kill you right here, right now." Caesar said his voice serious and full of authority. Slowly Brutus lowered Jessie back to the floor. She sank down to her knees, and shook her head. Then slowly stood up and walked over to Felina who was coming to now.

"Are you okay?" Asked Jessie untying her partner.

"Now that they’re here, I’m sure I’ll be fine" Felina said looking at the foursome who came to their rescue.

"C’mon ladies get out of here." Caesar told them. "I have to settle the score with Brutus."

They got outside, T-Bone and Razor followed them.

"Phew am I glad to be out of there." Said Felina with relief.

"Roger that." Agreed Jessie.

"Are you guys okay?" Asked Razor.

"I’ll live somehow." Replied Felina.

Jessie just nodded in response "We’ve got to get you back to the chopper so I can bandage the wound." She said.

"How did you get it anyhow?" Asked T-Bone.

"Don’t ask. It’s a long story." Replied Felina. "Now c’mon we’ve got to find the others." She said.

"Er…you guys don’t happen to have a couple of handguns on you, do you?" Asked Jessie. "I feel sort of stupid without my firearms."

"That goes double for me." Replied Felina.

"Are these yours?" Said Razor holding up two guns.

"Great. Thanks, I feel better already." Said Jessie taking her gun from Razor’s paw.

"Now lets take those guys down, once and for all." Said Felina taking her own gun.

"I have to disappoint, you girls here." Said T-Bone.

"What do you mean?" Asked Jessie and Felina in union.

"They’re sleeping like babies thanks to my sleeping gas bomb. Effective, fast, and best of all no snoring." Said Razor grinning.

"Humph…you guys get to have all the fun." Said Felina crossing her arms on her chest to make it look as if she’s angry. She winced because of the cut on her shoulder.

"That’ll teach you Lieutenant." Said T-Bone jokingly.

Felina threw him a ‘I’ll get you for this’ look.

"Kidding, Lieutenant kidding."

"Enough fooling around, now. Lets get back to business." Said Razor.

"Yeah, where did you guys leave the rest of the scum anyway?" Asked Jessie.

"Brutus’s house, where else?" Replied T-Bone.

*************************************************

While the SWAT Kats and the two Enforcers talked outside, Caesar threw a sword at Brutus, challenging him to fight.

Brutus accepted. Anthony got out of the way, all he could do was watch as Caesar and Brutus battled. He knew that only one was going to come out alive, he hoped that one would be Caesar.

Caesar’s and Brutus’s swords flashed and clanked with each other. Brutus was avoiding most of the blows by either sidestepping Caesar or by putting up his sword. Both knew that this was the last battle one of them would fight. Brutus hoped it would be Caesar. He grinned mischievously at Caesar. Caesar took that moment to swirl around and strike Brutus on his right shoulder cutting it in the process with his sword. Brutus yelled out in pain, but kept on fighting for his life. So far he hadn’t even managed to scratch Caesar, that got him angry. Caesar knew that Brutus had a short temper, so he decided to play with Brutus’s short fuse.

"You fight like a five year old." He challenged as once again their swords clashed.

Brutus’s face darkened upon hearing the insult, he jerked his sword at Caesar who barely managed to scramble out of the way.

"C’mon is this the best you can do?" Asked Caesar.

"Don’t make me angry Caesar, you’ll not like me when I’m angry."

"Doesn’t make a difference, I don’t like you anyway." Said Caesar defending himself with the sword.

Brutus’s knuckles whitened as he held his sword tighter. Caesar knew that he was having an effect on Brutus.

"Stop waving your sword like a feather duster." He said avoiding yet another blow from Brutus.

Brutus was now furious he applied more pressure to the sword and stared swinging it harder. Caesar knew that this was a bad technique, that is why most people die, because they don’t hold their sword right. He knew that soon Brutus’s hands would get tired and he would not be able to hold the sword anymore. He waited for that moment. Five minutes of battling Caesar was able to hit Brutus’s sword and it flew out of his hands and landed on the floor. Brutus himself sunk to the floor, knowing this was the end for him. Instead of killing him Caesar put away his sword.

"I’m letting you live only because I’m not a murderer like you Brutus." Said Caesar as he exited the house followed by Anthony.

Outside he rejoined the four kats.

*************************************************

The SWAT Kats had dropped Caesar and Mark Anthony off at Caesar’s house and returned to the landing site. Caesar had invited them all for dinner this evening.

"I bet that would make a good report." Said Jessie as she finished bandaging Felina’s arm.

"Yeah, but somehow I don’t think they’re going to believe it, so we’ll just keep that off the record." Felina stated. "Ow." She cried out in pain as Jessie applied some pressure on the wound.

"Ooops, sorry." Jessie said embarrassed but Felina waved it off. "You know you look like a mess." She said after taping the bandage in place.

"You don’t exactly look like a card yourself, Jessie." Replied Felina.

"I know, but then again after what we’ve been through it’s impossible to look great." Jessie stated.

"Uh-huh." Felina replied. "Thanks."

Both jumped out of the chopper and walked over to the Turbokat. T-Bone was in the pilot’s seat checking over his gauges, while Razor was tinkering with his control panel.

"Hey guys." Called Felina.

"Hey." Replied T-Bone looking up from his gauges.

"Hiya." Said Razor.

"We forgot to ask you, Razor did you find the soothsayer?" Asked Jessie

"Not only him, but this as well." He said lifting up the book.

"’Tome of Time’ great, now all we need is someone who understands the language." Said Jessie.

"We can always ask Caesar, he knows Latin." Offered Razor.

"All right then lets ask him today. I’m eager to get back home." Said Felina.

"What’s the matter too bored of this place, Lieutenant?" Asked T-Bone.

"No, my Uncle’s going to kill me if I don’t get the chopper back in one piece." She replied.

"That chopper is partially mine too, so I guess Commander Feral will have to kill me too." Said Jessie with a grin.

"Enough of that we have to be at Caesar’s house in T-minus 10 minutes." Said Razor.

"Affirmative." Responded Jessie.

To get to Caesar’s house, T-Bone and Felina took the Turbokat and Razor and Jessie took the Cyclotron. In two minutes flat the Turbokat had landed near Caesar’s house. A minute later Razor showed up on the Cyclotron.

"Glad you four could make it." Said Caesar who was waiting outside.

They grinned back at him. He no longer though of them as being strange, but it still did surprise him how they managed to fly in those machines. He led them inside the house and introduced them to his wife, Calphurnia. They exchanged greetings.

"Caesar told me about you. You saved his life. How can we thank you?" Asked Calphurnia. She was very grateful to them for saving her husband.

"Don’t mention it, it was our duty." Replied T-Bone.

"Is there anything we can do to get you back to your Megakat City?" Asked Calphurnia.

"Well there is one thing. We have a spell-book that has a spell to send us back to Megakat City, but it’s in Latin. We need your help conjuring it up." Said T-Bone.

"I have some magic powder in my room, it should help you get back. All we need is some water from your city." Replied Calphurnia.

"Right. She’s the magic whiz here." Replied Caesar.

"We have some water in our helicopter." Replied Felina.

"Right then, I’ll help you later, but now we must eat." Said Calphurnia leading them to the dining table filled with various goods and various wine samples. They sat down to eat and after the dinner they talked about their lives until it was very dark outside.

Caesar offered them to stay in his house for the night but they had turned him down. They wanted to keep an eye out on their crafts.

Calphurnia had asked them to see their crafts so she could make models out of mud for the spell. They took her to the landing site and she copied the two crafts.

"I’ll make them today, by tomorrow morning they’ll be hard enough for me to perform the spell."

"Thanks. Now c’mon I’ll take you back." Said T-Bone.

"We’ll se you tomorrow morning." Said Razor. "Thanks for the dinner."

"All right. Drop by tomorrow once you’re ready to leave." Said Calphurnia.

With that she and T-Bone left. T-Bone returned a few minutes later.

Instead of sleeping all night they stayed awake and talked about their adventures. Jessie and Felina told T-Bone and Razor their stories as all four sat on the chopper’s floor. Then it was Razor's turn to tell the rest how he found the soothsayer.

*************************************************

Next morning after the sun has come up; T-Bone took the Turbokat to pick up Calphurnia and Caesar. Once he returned with them Calphurnia was ready to cast the spell.

"All right. I need the water, and do you perhaps have something that belonged to the person whose book this is?" She asked after Razor handed her the book.

"We have his watch." Said Jessie giving it to her.

"Great that’ll do. It’s powerful enough to open a time vortex in order to send you back." She observed.

Felina handed her the water and Calphurnia set to work. She took a bowl and poured the water in then taking the Pastmaster’s watch she put it in the water chanting something in Latin from the book. A few minutes later as the water began to bubble she took the two models of the aircraft, holding them above the water she gently poured the magic dust over them and into the water and again began to chant.

"You must get ready now. Get into your flying machines." She said.

"Thanks Caesar. Thanks for everything." Said T-Bone.

"No it is we who should thank you. You saved my life." Caesar objected.

They said their farewells and got into their crafts.

Finally Calphurnia held up the two models and chanted loud enough for them to hear.

"Listen to the spell-book rhymes, send them back to modern times."

Just after she said that a yellow light shot out from the Pastmaster’s watch and up into the sky. A time vortex began to open.

"Take this, it’ll guide you back to your city." She said throwing the watch into the Turbokat.

T-Bone and Razor gave her thumbs up and closed the canopy.

As the two crafts began lifting off, Calphurnia and Caesar waved to them.

"Farewell." They said right after the Turbokat disappeared through the vortex and into Megakat City.

"I’ll miss them they were great fighters." Said Caesar as the two walked back to their house.

A few hours later Anthony came to Caesar and told him that last night Brutus had killed himself and his men.

*************************************************

When a time vortex opened in Megakat City, Callie Briggs was sure that it was the Pastmaster, until she saw the Turbokat fly out of the eye followed by the Enforcer helicopter. She smiled up at the two crafts as she saw T-Bone do a few loops. She called Commander Feral to tell him that they were back.

*************************************************

As the Turbokat came through the time vortex T-Bone couldn’t help but grin.

"All right! Back to high tech city." He said doing a few loops.

Razor could not help but grin either. They never liked the Pastmaster sending them here and there, and they were glad to be back..

Behind them they heard the Enforcer helicopter fly out of the vortex and the vortex close behind them.

*************************************************

"That should be good for the report." Said Jessie as she guided the helicopter back to Enforcer Headquarters.

"Don’t even think about writing that in there." Said Felina.

"Why?"

"Who’ll believe it?" Asked Felina.

"Your Uncle will, but then again who knows." Noted Jessie.

For both of the Enforcers this was the first time they were away from Megakat City and at what distance!

*************************************************

T-Bone guided the Turbokat back to the Salvage Yard, as he and Razor discussed their latest adventure.

"I wonder where the Pastmaster is?" Asked T-Bone.

"He was probably thrown to another dimension. He certainly ain’t here." Observed Razor looking outside through the canopy.

"Yeah and he can’t get back. At least I hope he can’t. We have his watch remember?" Said T-Bone.

Both hoped that the Pastmaster was out of their way for good, but what they didn’t know is that he was back in Dark Ages, getting ready to return to Megakat City.
