Destructive Nature

Written by Lance Falk.

Manx> At 300 stories, Megakat Tower is the tallest, most modern office complex in the whole city!

Young> Very impressive.

Manx> Oh yes! Why, it’s the perfect place to house your corporate headquarters, Mr. Young!

Young> Mmm, perhaps.

Manx> [chuckles] How’m I doing?

Callie> Greed brings out the best in you, Mr. Mayor.

Manx> Thank you.

Callie> He sunk most of the city treasury into this place, but that’s off the record.

Ann> Gotcha, and thanks again for giving me the exclusive, Callie.

Manx> Now, why don’t we continue this meeting at Megakat Golf Course? We tee off in ten minutes!

Young> So close to the golf course? This is an excellent location!

Manx> That’s what I’ve been tryin’ to tell you! Right This way, gentlemen!

Chance> Not this time, sucker! You’re dead meat! Ha! Gotcha! Uh oh, sneak attack! [laughs] Got ‘em! Two million points and I’ve saved the universe!

Jake> Well I’m tryin’ to save this place from the smell of sour milk.

Chance> So that’s what all this plant business is about.

Jake> Yup! Good for the environment, good for the air.

Chance> Hey! But not so good for my game score. And I was goin’ for a personal best, too!

Jake> Relax, buddy.

Game> [musical jingle} Space Kat!

Jake> There's always another universe to save.

Ann> Today, only a few potted plants occupy the Megakat Tower, but when it opens next month this place is guaranteed to be a bustling business center! This is Ann Gora, Kat's Eye News.

Callie> And this is Callie Briggs, klutz. No, it couldn't be!

Ann> Get some good shots of the courtyard. [gasps] What the?!

Viper> [cackles] Thanks to my growth formula, this building is now impenetrable! But I count on you, my creations, to protect me from Feral, his Enforcers, and most of all, those meddling SWAT Kats!

Callie> It is Dr. Viper!

Viper> Soon, this foul city will be one giant, glorious swamp!

Callie> I’d better get some help!

Viper> A spy!

Callie> No way out! Not connected yet! [screams]

Chance> Yes, Miss Briggs?

Callie> We’ve got problems, guys! Dr. Viper’s back!

Chance> Viper?! Where?

Callie> At Megakat Towers! And this time he’s got an army of plant monsters to- [gasps]

Chance> Misd Briggs! Let’s kick some Viper tail!

Feral> Report!

Enforcer> According to witnesses, Commander, this stuff just sprang up in minutes! But it’s gonna take a week to cut through.

Feral> Not if we burn our way in!

Enforcer> That’s a ten story wall of dry brush, sir! If our fire gets outta hand it’ll torch the whole city!

Feral> Objection noted.

Ann> Ann Gora, Kat’s Eye News! Commander Feral, are you aware that Deputy Mayor Briggs is trapped somewhere in that tower?

Feral> Briggs? That figures. Get the choppers ready, we’ll take the tower from above!

Enforcer> Kats alive! This stuff’s acid, eating right through my chopper!

Feral> Weapon systems gummed up! Viper..? Should’ve known that crazy lizard would be behind this mess!

Viper> Run, Feral, you fool. Because there’s nothing you can do to stop me!

Callie> Unh! Let me go!

Viper> Save your breath, Miss Briggs! My plantimals obey only me. Besides, you don’t want to run away and miss out on all the excitement! [cackles]

Callie> What is that thing?

Viper> My spore pod? Why it’s going to explode! And at this height, it’s beautiful spores will cover the entire city! I can see it all now. A spectacular new Megakat City. No more ugly metal and plastic, only beautiful swamp, ruled by me! Dr. Viper’s Megaswamp City! It will be so beautiful!

Callie> Wake up and smell the coffee, Viper! Here come the SWAT Kats!

T-Bone> Looks like a farmer’s market down there!

Razor> It’s Viper alright, and he’s got Callie!

Viper> Attack them, my little pets!

T-Bone> We’ve got some plug-ugly company!

Razor> Acknowledged, T-Bone. Weapon systems ready. Hey these things are spittin’ acid!

T-Bone> So I’ve noticed! I’m takin’ evasive action!

Razor> Piranha Missiles, away! T-Bone, those things melted my missiles!

Viper> Attack! Destroy the SWAT Kats! You see, Miss Briggs, my armies are endless! [gasps] She’s gone! You fool, you let her escape!

T-Bone> Say again, Razor? You must be jokin’!

Razor> I said, I’ll penetrate the building, and come up on Viper from underneath!

T-Bone> That’s a negative, Razor. Plants are takin’ over the whole building or haven’t ya noticed!?

Razor> Affirmative, but Callie’s in there, T-Bone!

T-Bone> Right. Maintain radio contact at all times, do you copy?

Razor> Affirmative, T-Bone. I’m goin’ in!

T-Bone> Razor, you okay? Talk to me, buddy!

Razor> Looks like a swamp in here, but so far so good. What’s your situation?

T-Bone> It’s weird. Those flying cabbages don’t attack me unless I’m close to the roof.

Razor> Just keep away from ‘em. I’ll call ya when I find Callie. Don’t like the look of this. Chew on this! I don’t beleive it!

T-Bone> Any progress, Razor?

Razor> No sign of Callie. Gotta run! Out!

Ann> Commander Feral, do you have a plan for getting Deputy Mayor Briggs out of there?

Feral> Yes, a simple one. We’re going in! Fire!

Enforcer> That did it, Commander! We’re through!

Feral> Let’s move in! Blast it!

T-Bone> Looks like Feral got stopped at the door.

Manx> What?! Excuse my clumsiness! You play through, I have to a phone call. [chuckles] Get me Feral!

Viper> Soon, my lovely, soon! Let those fools waste their time. In fifteen minutes, Megakat City will be mine! [cackles]

Sergeant> The toughest tanks we have, and that, that thing melted ‘em like butter!

Feral> Now you listen to me, Mayor, Dr. Viper has turned your pet skyscraper into a living weed patch, and-

Manx> No, you listen to me, Feral! The city has a billion dollars sunk in that tower. Use weed killer if you have to, but get that wacko Viper out of there now! And don’t damage the building doing it!

Feral> You don’t understand-

Manx> Don’t do it, Feral! My friends here are about to sign a ten year lease!

Young> Is there a problem, Mayor Manx?

Manx> [chuckles] Don’t be ridiculous, not at all. Now where were we?

Feral> Great! I can’t burn, cut or blast! What does he expect me to do? Leave it to the SWAT Kats?!

Razor> What’s it take to stop these things!? That should buy me some time.

Callie> Oh no. Wake up! Oh, Razor I’m so sorry!

Razor> Callie? Uh, Miss Briggs?

Callie> Are you okay? I hit you pretty hard.

Razor> Whoa, I’ll say. Good thing we’re required to wear helmets.

Callie> I’m sorry. I thought you were one of them.

Razor> This way, hurry! Make room, Miss Briggs!

Sergeant> Copter 1 is on approach from the chemical factory.

Feral> Good. We’ll try it the Mayor’s way. Let’s see how that cabbage likes a thousand gallons of weed killer! Drop payload on my command!

Enforcer> Roger! We have target aquisisioned!

Feral> Now! Gotcha! We’re goin’ in!

Sergeant> Oh no! Commander, weed killer only makes it bigger!

Feral> Is there no way to destroy these things!?

T-Bone> Feral’s strikin’ out big time down there. Razor, what’s your status?

Razor> I’ve got Miss Briggs. We’re in the ventilation shaft heading for the roof.

T-Bone> The roof?! That’s a negative! Those critters won’t let me get close enough for pickup!

Razor> No time for that. Miss Briggs says Viper’s-

Callie> He’s growing a pod to destroy the city!

Razor> We’re gonna have tos top him from inside.

T-Bone> Well ya don’t have much time. from what I can see, that ugly thing is about ready to burst!

Razor> We’re on our way, big buddy! Out.

Callie> Am I just scared or is it freezing in here? [screams] Now, Razor! Blast ‘em!

Razor> With what!? I’ve got nothing left but grappling hooks!

Callie> It worked!

Razor> Yeah, but the cold stopped ‘em first.

Callie> Too bad we couldn’t freeze the whole building.

Razor> Hey, maybe we can! Come on! T-Bone, I think we found a way to stop Viper. But you’re gonna have to make a fast pickup at the space center.

T-Bone> I’m there, buddy. What do you need?

Razor> Super rocket coolant! We’ll meet you on the roof in t-minus ten minutes. Out.

Callie> How can you be so sure we’ll make it in ten minutes?

Razor> ‘Cause we’re gonna take a shortcut!

Callie> You call this a shortcut?

Razor> Hang on tight!

Callie> I don’t know about thi-aaaaah!

Razor> This is easy.

Callie> Yeah, piece of cake.

Flight Control> Turbokat, I say again, this is flight control, you are not cleared for this area. Over.

T-Bone> Understood, flight control. But I have an emergency situation here.

Flight Control> Explain the nature of your emergency. Over.

T-Bone> Here’s the deal…

Technician 1> What’s that SWAT Kat want with a tank of super rocket coolant?

Technician 2> Who cares? If the front office wants to give freeze juice to a vigilante, who are we to argue?

Technician 1> Yeah, but that one barrel has enough coolant to freeze a whole city block!

Callie> Razor, we’ve got trouble!

Razor> Big trouble!

Viper> It’s just you and me now, sweetness. Feral is helpless, and the SWAT Kats have run away in their stupid jet! Aww, you’re so beautiful! It’s going to be a shame to have you explode!

T-Bone> If anything’s happened to him, I’ll….

Callie> Nice knowing you, Razor!

Razor> Thanks, and it still will be. I’ve been saving this for last! Hang on!

Viper> Attack! Protect our spore pod!

T-Bone> Time for some real flyin’! I owe it that much to Razor. Eat my backwash, you lettuceheads! [laughs] Barbecued cabbage, my favorite! They’re tougher than I thought!

Razor> Don’t tell me your givin’ up!

T-Bone> Razor!

Viper> The SWAT Kats have failed! In a few minutes, it will be all over!

Razor> You can say that again, snake-puss!

Viper> What!? it’s not possible!

Razor> Anything’s possible, ugly!

Viper> You can’t stop me now! [growls] It’s oblivion for you, SWAT Kat!

Callie> Razor! No!

Viper> Yes! But don’t worry, Miss Briggs, you’ll be joining him!

Razor> Need a lift? Aww this is great! My weapons systems are all gummed up!

T-Bone> Musta gotten too close tot hose sap-slingers.

Razor> Yeah. Well, I’m gonna have to drop our freeze bomb by hand, if that flying produce doesn’t drop us, first! Woo-hoo! Get ready, Viper! The SWAT Kats are gonna put the big chill or your big plans! T-Bone, go for that big air conditioning unit on the roof!

T-Bone> Right on target! It’s now or never!

Feral> Get clear! On the double!

T-Bone> Next time, Dr. Viper better make his plans frost-free.

Callie> Better drop me off, guys. I think the Mayor’s gonna need sedation. Thanks! It was fun, w ehave to do it again sometime.

Razor> [chuckles] Yeah, right. Take care!

T-Bone> See you later, Miss Briggs, we have to get back. Razor has to water his plants.

Razor> Oh, no. I think I’ve had enough gardening for one day.

Young> Thank you for the golf game, but I think we will pass on your most generous offer.

Manx> Now, now, now don’t be hasty! We’ll fix it up just like new! A fresh coat of paint, I’ll upgrade the carpetting! We have some lovely parting gifts, just don’t part! Free golf clubs! Come back!
