<Protocol> ((Happy Evil Turkey Day!))
<Protocol> ((RPG Start!))
<Manga> (( ::DEAD!:: ))
<ShadeSK> ((Wahahaha!))
<DarkKat> ::so! mun will try ‘n do a good job at this. It’s the day of the Annual Katcy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in downtown Megakat City. The parade starts at the beginning of Main Street, and ends at City Hall where Manx and Briggs will be at. streets are lined up, and DK is off in a building nearby grinning as his evil plan is ready to begin::
<LeoSK> ::is out, watching the parade, HOPING nothing’ll go wrong::
<Manga> :: Is out…just watching::
<JosieLyons>::is assigned to help the Enforcers along with other MBI agents to keep an eye on the crowd::
<ShadeSK> ::waiting patiently as hundreds of pedestrians cross the street in front of him:: Why do I always get stuck with these stupid parades? ::watches light change, and is now clear to continue on his way::
<Ninjakat> ::enters the room. in quiet ninjavoice XD:: Everything is ready.
<DarkKat>::grins:: Excellent. Go and keep the explosive sky floats in line. I don’t want any failures in my plans, but one should always be prepared.
<Ninjakat> Hai. ::bows and exits::
<Manga> Wow..I can’t believe how…big everything is…heh..my first parade…
<Katizens>::all are instructed to stay on the sidewalks. The parade begins! wooo! dun dun dun duuuun! marching bands go! Mayor Manx brings in the head of the parade, so he can be at City Hall first for the rest of the floats::
<JosieLyons>::walkin’ through the crowds. makin’ sure everyone stays behind the blocks::
<DarkKat> <Float of Dooooom! ;D> ::is of, for irony as DK is a freak, the city, and the giant balloon over it is that of a turbokat XD eeeeeevil. its in the midst of the parade::
<ShadeSK> ::has managed to find a parking space, and is now casually patrolling along the streets:: Excuse me, sir, sir! ::gruffly grabs a wandering hooded figure:: Sir, I’ll have to ask you to please stay behind the designated barrier line.
<ShadeSK> ((<T-Bone> Oooh, it’s so…life-like…::drooling at TKat balloon::))
<Hooded Figure>::is ninjakat. grrrs, doesn’t turn, tries to shove Shade offa him::
<DarkKat> ((LOL!))
<ShadeSK> ::doesn’t take kindly to shoving:: Alright buddy! Don’t make me get physical with you! Move to the side! ::roughly grabs the ninja’s arm::
<Manga> :: still looking up:: Ooooooooo
<Ninjakat>::mrrs, grabbed by the arm, turns to glare at Shadow. tries to sweep kick his legs to knock him down::
<LeoSK> Nice float…Love the Tubokat…
<Manga> Uh huh..it looks really lifelike
<ShadeSK> ::caught off guard, he falls to the ground. The instant he looks up, the hooded figure is gone:: What the…? ::picks himself up, looks around quizzically::
<DarkKat> <Manx>::now got off the first float. waits at City Hall for the rest to go by. stands with Callie::
<Ninjakat>::ooooh ninjavanish is slick like that::
<ShadeSK> ((lol))
<JosieLyons>::sees Shade, they have met before yes/no?::
<ShadeSK> ::mmm, sure, why not:: Josie! Did you see that guy-er girl, or, whoever that was?
<JosieLyons> I see many guys ‘n girls, Agent ::d’oh what’s his last name? XD mun feels stupid::
<ShadeSK> ((Heh, Ringo))
<JosieLyons> Ringo
<DarkKat> ::isn’t there. nah he’s on the roof of the building now. instructs his Ninjakats ‘n creeplings to put their masks on. the float will be by soon::
<ShadeSK> Please, just call me Shade. ::scritches head:: But there was this hooded guy here just a minute ago, gave me some trouble…then he just, vanished!
<Manga> :: Must’ve just been standing next to Leo and not noticed yet:: Heh is it me..or is it the best float at this here parade?
<JosieLyons>… hmm… well I’m sorry I didn’t see him.
<LeoSK> it is a nice one, to say the least…
<ShadeSK> ::something catches his eye:: Wait! There! ::spots a hooded figure in the crowd and takes off::
<Manga> :: Nods::
<JosieLyons> Agent Shade wait! ::hurries after him::
<ShadeSK> ::pushing through kats left and right, but the hooded figure continues to distance himself from him::
<JosieLyons>Excuse me, pardon me, sorry, MBI please move ::says as she nears Shade through the crowd::
<DarkKat> ::yes, filled one of the floats balloons with a sleeping gas. the one that looks like the Turbokat XD also has two in the sky rigged to explode in case the first one fails::
<Manga> :: Issa knocked:: Ow!! HEY!!
<ShadeSK> ::stops suddenly, losing the hooded figure completely:: Crud! ::looks apologetically at who he just knocked over::
<JosieLyons> Agent Shade!
<Manga> :: Is the kat who he knocked over, landed on her butt:: Owie…
<JosieLyons>::blinks, sees it’s Manga on the ground:: Manga? You alright.
<ShadeSK> Sorry about that. ::helps Manga to her feet:: Dangit! I lost him, again!
<Manga> Thanks :: as she’s helped up:: Huh? who were you after?
<JosieLyons> Some hooded figure… you see him?
<Manga> E-heh well I’m okay…but my butt was the one that went smack on the concrete ^_^;; :: To Josie::
<Manga> and…no I didn’t
<Manga> Hmm…well actually…I did see some guy going pretty fast..he went that way :: points left::
<JosieLyons> Hrmmm…
<ShadeSK> C’mon! ::hastily starts the chase once again, and once again knocking people out of his way::
<Manga> <Hmmmm…maybe I should join them too>
<Ninjakats>::have gathered in an alley. three of them to be precise. put on masks and talk amongst themselves quietly::
<JosieLyons> We’re almost at the end of the parade route, Agent Shade. There’s City Hall.
<Ninjakats>::have gotten together a harpoon gun. perfect for popping parade balloons::
<ShadeSK> ((<Shade> ::looks at city hall:: Ooooh, Callie…::lovestruck, waves to her::))
<Manga> (( LOL!!!!!))
<DarkKat> ((::dies::))
<Manga> :: Quickly gets changed into her vigilante suit::
<ShadeSK> ::grabs some misc. kat:: Hey! Have you seen any hooded guys charging through here?
<Misc. Kat> ::nods shakily, points towards an alleyway::
<JosieLyons> ::looks to where he pointed:: C’mon. ::slowly goes to the alley::
<ShadeSK> ((Oh yeah, Ms. Briggs wants me alright. ::puffs out his chest with a cocky grin::))
<Manga> (( :: DIESISDEAD!!!!!!!!:: ))
<LeoSK> ::Follows after them:: Sorry…had to do something.
<DarkKat> ((::diies!::))
<Manga> :: Is now dressed as Magma…kicks self for nearly putting Mama::
<ShadeSK> ::releases pedestrian, and gropes the firearm in his holster::
<Alex_SK> ::Alex’s Jag screeches to a halt on a nearby street. Alex vaults out with sword in hand and coat flying…He is *really* peeved::
<ShadeSK> ((lol, Mama…))
<Manga> Huh?! :: Looks:: Alex?
<JosieLyons>::slides up against the alley wall. puts paw on her holster as well. nods to Shade, will go in alley when he does::
<Alex_SK> I got here fast as I could. Dark Kat, is going to wish he was on another planet when I get through with him for this
<ShadeSK> ::holds up a finger at Josie, then two, then three, and he launches himself into the alleyway, firearm drawn::
<JosieLyons>::does likewise. spots ninjakats:: Freeze! Cease your activity at once. Put your paws in the air slowly.
<Ninjakats>::all turn to look at them at the same time::
<ShadeSK> ((Actually, we don’t really know *what* is going on. I just ran into some hooded figure that turns out to be a ninja. ^_^’))
<ShadeSK> Do what the lady says! ::standing rigid, gun poised::
<DarkKat> ((lol nope, but seeing three ninjakats with a weapon and wearing gasmasks is a bit odd ))
<ShadeSK> ((lol, yep, no denying that))
<Ninjakat1>::smirks under his mask, raises gun and aims at the turbokat balloon as it passes by City Hall::
<Manga> Hey you what do you think your doing?!!!!
<JosieLyons>::blinks hearing a voice from someplace:: Hn?
<Alex_SK> ::Sprinting into the alley:: Ah blinking heck!
<Ninjakat>::waiting for something::
<DarkKat>::via radio they can hear:: Alright. its in position. Fire!
<Manga> :: Standing on a building’s Balcony:: Guys!! he’s aiming at the TK float!
<ShadeSK> No he isn’t! ::fires at weapon, making it jerk and lose it’s positioning in the ninjakat’s hands::
<Alex_SK> ::Sprints forward and leaps up, springing off a wall and kicking one of the other Ninja Kats in the face::
<Ninjakat>Gah! :;drops the harpoon which fires!:: <harpoon>::fliiiies through the air, and swwwunk! takes Manx’s toupee’ off and sticks into City Hall behind him::
<Manx> Godfrah!!
<Callie>::Yelps!::
<Crowd>::gasps! what was that?!::
<Ninjakat>::grrrs!!:: <ninjakat2 ‘n 3>::flip in front of Josie ‘n Shade attempt to strike their arms with chops::
<DarkKat> <ninjakat1>::kicked in the face, back flips standing up, pulls out katana, slices at Alex::
<ShadeSK> ::is chopped right on the wrist, dropping his gun:: Argh! ::counterattacks with a straightforward punch to the face::
<Alex_SK> ::Defends with Witchblade, but this one is much better than the one he fought when he chased down Protocol::
<Manx> ::on the ground sniveling:: I want my Mo-mmay!
<JosieLyons>::yelps dropping her gun, kicks NK3::
<Ninjakat2>::grabs onto Shade’s paw, attempts to punch him in the gut with his other fist::
<DarkKat> ((::DIES Shade/Manx::))
<Manga> Aiy! I’m missing the action! :: Quickly scrambles down to help::
<NinjaKat1>::hrmph! well he’s fighting a different style and is as quick as Protocol was::
<Ninjakat3>::stumbles back towards Leo ‘n Manga::
<ShadeSK> ::keels over with a punch to the gut, and feels the ninja’s elbow go hard into his back:: I hate kung-fu! ::rolls out of N2′s kicking range, and takes up a stance::
<Alex_SK> ::Alex and N-K#1 fight back and forth across the ally, in a visious duel. A quick slash cuts across Alex’s face, leaving him open for a moment. N-K#1 kicks Alex in the gut, doubling him over, before slamming him headfirst into a wall::
<Manga> :: Smirks:: Hello there Mr. Ninja…Yayrrgghh! :: Attacks::
<ShadeSK> ((<Alex> ::after smashed into wall:: Wow, mommy, look at all the flying ninja fairies. Whee!))
<Manga> (( LOL!!!!!!!! ))
<Alex_SK> ::Alex lies dazed for a moment, unable to focus. He has a concussion as N-K#1 stands over him with sword poised::
<JosieLyons> Agent Shade! ::tries to kick at the ninja again, but N2 grabs her foot and spins her around sending her to the ground:: Oof! ::ow eating concrete::
<Ninjakat2>::tries to leap kick towards Shade::
<Ninjakat1>::chuckles, moves towards Alex for a final attack!::
<Ninjakat3>::smirks at Manga. then gaah steps aside to avoid her incoming attack. tries to strike her in the back as she goes past::
<DarkKat> ((::dies Shade!::))
<ShadeSK> ::kneels to the ground, and N2 sails right over him:: Alex! ::spots N3 ready for the kill, and charges him from the side::
<LeoSK> ::Tackles at Ninja 2::
<ShadeSK> ((<N2> ::sails over Shade, and lands in a trash can, starts cursing in soft ninja talk XD::))
<Ninjakat2>::fweeeees over Shade’s head XD then tackled by Leo! lands on his back, struggles to get Leo offa him::
<Manga> :: Quickly turns around and brings her leg up to kick him…hey in mine and Jessie’s side-plots Jess began teaching her ^_^::
<DarkKat> ((::dies::))
<DarkKat> ((<ninja>bakabakabakaaaaa!shou!!!))
<ShadeSK> ((lol!))
<Ninjakat1>::raises sword! attempts to stabby Alex!::
<Manga> (( LOL!))
<Ninjakat3>::ow! didn’t expect that kick. is kicked, but then throws a chop at Manga::
<Manga> :: Is sent back:: Yargghh!
<ShadeSK> ::tackles N1 at the last possible second – Phew! – and the two stumble to the ground::
<LeoSK> Stupid Ninjas! ::Get’s kicked off, Pulls out knife::
<DarkKat> ((lol l33t ninja))
<Ninjakat1>::dropped his blade, tries to use his feet ‘n kick Shade offa himself::
<LeoSK> ((l33t //|//j4.))
<ShadeSK> ::manages a smart jab across N1′s jaw before the ninja has a chance to kick him off::
<DarkKat> ((::DIIES:: <ninja> _/ h4i ))
<LeoSK> ((gotta love dat l33t 5p34k!))
<Ninjakat1>::ooowrs… backs up::
<Ninjakat1>::is dazed::
<Ninjakat3>::<this kid’s tough!> thinks as he fights with Manga::
<Ninjakat2>::tries to headbutt Leo::
<Manga> :: Lands in with one almighty kick..well..as almighty as she can ^_^; ::
<Alex_SK> ::Alex, pushes himself up slowly…looking around sightlessly:: Manga? Leo?
<Manga> Over here big bro…e-heh kinda busy

<ShadeSK> ((<Shade> ::all sassed now:: Oh! I bet my hair’s all messed up now…::whips out his comb::))
<DarkKat> <float>::with the gas goes on by, to be put away soon.:: <DK>::growls! yells in the radio for all to hear:: You fools what are you doing?! You missed!
<DarkKat> ::well the ninja’s radio for all us chars here in alley to hear XD:;
<DarkKat> ((::diiies::))
<Manga> (( :: DEADATSHADE!:: ))
<ShadeSK> ::breathing heavily, hears the radio on N1′s side buzz to life:: Say, that sounds alot like…::picks up radio:: Dark Kat, you walking bag of scum, what’s going on!?
<Ninjakat2>::hears DK’s bellowing through the small radio on NK1′s belt. notes his fellow NKs are down. manages to get free of Leo. darts out of the alley and performs…ooooh ninjavanish! XD::
<ShadeSK> ((Ack! Not the ninjavanish! XP))
<Manga> Uh oh! that guy just disappeared
<JosieLyons>::smiles at Manga, proceeds to handcuff NK3 to keep him down when he wakes up::
<DarkKat> ::blinks:: Who is this?!
<ShadeSK> ((<Shade> The cable company, your bill is late!))
<Manga> :: Smiles back::
<Manga> (( :: DIES!:: ))
<Alex_SK> ::Staggers about a bit trying to get a hold of something…anything. The blow to the head has temporarily blinded him::
<Manga> :: Goes over to Alex:: It’s okay Alex I’m here
<DarkKat> ((::DEAD::))
<Manga> :: Goes to help support him::
<ShadeSK> Agent Ringo of the MBI! What in kat’s name are you trying to prove?!
<JosieLyons>::handcuffs NK1 as well. draaaaags him over to NK3 for arrest.:: Agent Archeao, you okay? ::softly asks, since Manga’s helping Alex. listens to Shade ‘n DK::
<DarkKat> MBI eh? Figures. You’ll find out in a moment, and believe me, you’ll wish my first plan had worked. ::evil laughter then static::
<ShadeSK> Dark Kat…Dark Kat!! ::slams radio into ground, smashing it to pieces::
<JosieLyons>… I wish you hadn’t done that… that would have helped us to track him…
<DarkKat> <parade>::has ended but… what are those two balloons in the sky?::
<ShadeSK> ::spins around:: We won’t have time to track him. He’s got something else here…everyone okay?
<DarkKat> <giant balloons>::both shaped like… giant creeplings XD hover ominously overhead::
<JosieLyons>I’m alright… Agent Weathers?
<ShadeSK> ((giant creepling balloons…::laughs::))
<Alex_SK> You guys go ahead, I won’t be much use at the moment unless we’re fighting in the dark or taking on a Basalisk
<JosieLyons> Alright… ::looks at him oddly. not like he could see that XD::
<ShadeSK> ::picks up his discarded gun and holsters it:: I’ll radio in for an ambulance. Josie, you and I’ll- ::notices for the first time the two peculiar balloons in the sky::
<JosieLyons>::takes up her firearm as well. looks at him blinks:: What is it?
<ShadeSK> I think I just figured out what Dark Kat’s next plan is…look! ::points up at the sky::
<LeoSK> Giant Creeplings…
<ShadeSK> ((<Manx> Look, in the sky! It’s a bird! <Callie> It’s a plane! <Feral> No, it’s…Super Creeps!))
<DarkKat> ((::deeead::))
<DarkKat> ((Supa Creep, supa creep! He’s supa creepaaaah! ::sings;:))
<Alex_SK> ((<Alex> Where’s Wonder Boy and Young Nasty Man when you need them))
<JosieLyons>::looks up ‘n eyes widen:: Holy kats!
<ShadeSK> ((LOL at both!))
<ShadeSK> We have got to find Dark Kat! NOW! ::races back to the radio he busted:: Josie, if I could get this back working, how long would it take you to make a trace?
<ShadeSK> ((Bleh…my English is terrible today “back working” XD))
<JosieLyons> Well… I’d need to run it to Enforcer HQ or the MBI HQ to get them to do it… maybe about 20 minutes or so?
<DarkKat> ((lol ::pat pat::))
<Alex_SK> Not time enough. Dark Krud could do his dirty deeds long before then…
<ShadeSK> Augh! But we don’t have that time! ::frustrated, kicks radio, where it slides into a fence, revealing a most interesting secret door that opens:: o_o Cool.
<Enforcers>::are clearing the streets now and have sent in choppers to investigate the balloons. seem harmless::
<JosieLyons>::ponders:: What was the point of that ninjakat to destroy that first balloon…?
<JosieLyons>::blinks at that:: What the?
<ShadeSK> Since when did the city allow secret passage zoning downtown? C’mon, let’s check it out.
<JosieLyons> Should we radio in some back up?
<LeoSK> They’d take too long to arrive.
<JosieLyons>::sighs:: Then we have to go it ourselves. Agent Weathers, you sure you’ll be alright out here?
<ShadeSK> If you’ve got a radio handy, then go ahead. But like Leo said, I’m not gonna’ stick around here and wait for ‘em. Let’s go. ::walks over to Alex:: You too, Weathers, I’m not gonna leave you out here to find out what comes out of that passage. ::helps him up::
<Alex_SK> I don’t know…I’ve never had to fight blind. I don’t know if I’ll be any use down there
<DarkKat> Agent Shade… this really is against regulations… he needs medical attention and dragging him down some unknown passage will not lead to a hospital.
<DarkKat> <JOSIE!>
<JosieLyons> ((::kats alive is such a goob::))
<ShadeSK> ((Thanks for the advice Dark Kat XD))
<ShadeSK> ::is uneasy about doing the whole idea of leaving somebody behind:: Well, okay. You’re probably right. ::pats Alex on the shoulder:: Hang tough, help will be here shortly. ::turns to the passage:: In we go.
<JosieLyons> ((::laughs:: hoosh XD))
<JosieLyons> ::goes in after Shade. Will Alex stay behind or follow? And is Leo coming too?::
<LeoSK> ::follows Josie::…He’ll be fine…
<ShadeSK> ((<Alex> ::after they’ve all left:: AAAHH!! Help me!! NO! Please no!! AAAGGGH!! <Everyone> ::sweatdrop:: <Shade> Yep, he’s fine!))
<ShadeSK> ::takes out a pen-sized flashlight, illuminating the dark hallway in which they’ve entered:: Ugh, it’s so dusty in here. Can’t hardly breathe.
<JosieLyons> ((::dies Shade::))
<JosieLyons> ::nose twitches ‘n she sneezes at the dust. blushes inna dark::
<JosieLyons> sorry… ::whispers::
<LeoSK> Dun worry….::looks around, searching for anything, really::
<ShadeSK> ::pulls out a hankerchief and gives it to her to cover her mouth:: Here, this might help. ::coughs himself, the dust quite unsettling::
<JosieLyons> ::takes it with a quiet thanks ‘n wipes her nose. what will they find Shademun?::
<ShadeSK> Hmm…what’s this? ::they come to an old looking wooden door:: It’s a door.
<LeoSK> ::isn’t all that comfortable, shudders::
<JosieLyons> … ::puts ear to it. tries to listen to see if she can hear anything::
<ShadeSK> ::tries to listen too:: Hear anything?
<JosieLyons> ::whisper to them:: no…
<ShadeSK> I’ll go in. ::unholsters gun:: Cover me?
<JosieLyons> ::nods. readies her gun::
<JosieLyons> yes
<ShadeSK> Okay, you get ready too, Leo…1…2…3! ::kicks open door, and flashes his light into the room::
<JosieLyons> <room>::perhaps huge ‘n dimly lit, looks like only a couple of gas containers left, one broken. explosive powder on the floor from a stick of TNT which lays there.::
<ShadeSK> Whoa! ::eyes the gunpowder on the floor and immediately puts the safety on his gun:: Crimamy! What is all this? ::goes over the containers with his flashlight::
<LeoSK> ::blinks:: The floats…they’re explosives!
<Alex_SK> ((<Josie> Where are we? <Shade> Can’t you read? ::Points to sign marked “Acme Fireworks”:: We just walked into a Looney Toons cartoon))
<ShadeSK> ((lol!))
<JosieLyons> ((::diies::))
<JosieLyons> Explosives?! They’re big enough to destroy a third of the city!
<ShadeSK> ::takes his beam of light away from the containers and desperately searches for another door they can take:: We’ve got to find Dark Kat. This place must be some sort of underground bunker designed to withstand the blast.
<JosieLyons> ::sighs. really feels like she’s in over her head now::
<ShadeSK> Here. ::points the light on a doorknob:: We go this way. ::opens door, which leads to yet another dark corridor::
<JosieLyons> I swear if this leads to the depths of Hell you’re in for it Agent Shade. ::XD::
<ShadeSK> ((LOL, ladies first XD))
<JosieLyons> ((lol! noooo ))
<LeoSK> ::chuckles::I’ll take the lead…::goes, breathing all heavy like and nervous::
<JosieLyons> ::yey Leo! XD follows him in as Shade shines their path ahead::
<JosieLyons> <sounds>::coming from one of the many doors in a long hallway they enter. woooooo XD sounds like creeplings chittering and ‘ol Big ‘n Purple talking. sounds of computers hums slightly from that same direction too::
<ShadeSK> ::come up to the door, all of them eye it unsurely:: ::whisper:: Well, should we knock? Or knock it down?
<LeoSK> Mmmm..we bust in…the element of surprise..
<ShadeSK> Somehow, I think our presence here is anything but a surprise to ol’ tons of fun in there.
<JosieLyons> But but… this is Dark Kat… ::nervous:: what if he’s got… hundreds of men in there?
<LeoSK> Then we go down fighting. Dark Kat must be stopped, no matter the cost…
<ShadeSK> Let’s look for a back way, shall we? ::directs light up to the ceiling, where an air duct grate meets his grateful eye:: Ladies and Gentlemen, the back door.
<JosieLyons> ::nods:: Okay… someone lift me up so I can open it?
<LeoSK> ::Gets on knees:: Get on my shoulders..
<JosieLyons> ::hops onto his shoulders::
<ShadeSK> Easy there, Josie. ::keeps beam of light directed at air duct::
<LeoSK> ::slowly stands up::
<JosieLyons> ::when Leo lifts her, she extends a claw and unscrews the corner screws to open it.:: There… ::reaches up and climbs on into nearly smooshing Leo down on his head with a booted foot XD mussed up his hair. bet Shade’s glad wasn’t him ;D::
<ShadeSK> ::cringes when he sees Leo’s hair mussed up, is glad it wasn’t him ;p::
<JosieLyons> ((::giggling::))
<ShadeSK> ((<Shade> No sweat dude. ::tosses Leo a tube:: I carry extra hair gel, for just an emergency.))
<JosieLyons> ::turns around in the vent reaches down to help whoever wants to come in next::
<JosieLyons> ((<Leo>Thanks. ::uses it, then gets stuck in the airduct:: Dangit Shade! <Shade> Oh… forgot to tell you to let it dry first… ))
<ShadeSK> Alright Leo, alley-oop! ::puts out a hand to catch Leo’s foot and propel him into the shaft::
<ShadeSK> ((lol!))
<LeoSK> I…You go…
<ShadeSK> ::gives puzzled look:: You look lighter though, but, if you want…
<ShadeSK> ::puts flashlight between his teeth:: Okay, Leo, put out your hand.
<JosieLyons> ((<Leo> Okay… be careful, that’s my pie eatin’ hand! ::grumps::))
<ShadeSK> ((LOL))
<LeoSK> ::Does so::
<JosieLyons> ::helps Shade up when Leo boosts him::
<ShadeSK> ::steps onto Leo’s folded hands and is propelled into the shaft:: Okay-::takes flashlight out of mouth:: let’s go.
<JosieLyons> What about Leo?
<JosieLyons> ::er Agent Archeao XD she keeps things all regulation like XD meh maybe she’s nervous::
<ShadeSK> Leo…I think, would be better backing us up from outside, incase we get in trouble. ::unsure about Leo’s phobias, but is guessing there’s something about tight spaces he doesn’t like::
<JosieLyons> ::nods:: Gotcha. ::takes a last look at Leo ‘n then crawls into the shaft over the room. peers down when they reach a vent, almost above DK’s head::
<ShadeSK> ::follows her, eyebrows furrow when he spots DK::
<LeoSK> ::Nods:: <Thank God….>
<JosieLyons> ::climbs over it to let Shade take a look as well, but put too much weight on the grate and FALLS through and lands behind DK XD:: aaaaugh! Oof! ::lays there ow that hurt::
<DarkKat>::spins around:: What the?! ::glares at Josie::
<Creeplings> rrr? ::look up to the vent to see if anyone else is there, not taking flight yet though::
<LeoSK> ::Hears the commotion:: Okay…::Breaks in:: Freeze Dark Kat!!
<ShadeSK> ::jumps down out of shaft, right onto DK:: Well, looks like our element of surprise was a success!
<DarkKat> Gah! ::is landed apon!::
<Creeplings>::surround them, others head to the door towards Leo!::
<DarkKat>:;was about to give orders to set off the explosives:: Get OFF me! ::stands with his towering self, spins to try ‘n get Shade off::
<ShadeSK> ::maneuvers to get on DK’s back, and has him in a strangle hold, using his body weight to strangle the big purple kat::
<DarkKat>::growls, backs up towards a wall and tries to slam his back, with Shade, against it hard:: <Josie>::stands up and fires at creeplings:: Archeao! Look out!
<ShadeSK> Urgh! ::smasked against the wall, a couple ribs feel crushed, but he still holds on::
<LeoSK> ::Is shooting at them himself!:: Dark Kat! FREEZE NOW!
<DarkKat> ::ignores Leo, grabs onto Shades arms with his enormous ugly paws to try ‘n pry him off::
<JosieLyons> ::kicks at a couple of creeplings when ammo runs out::
<LeoSK> Lyons! I’ll take the Creeplings, help Ringo with Dark Kat!
<ShadeSK> ::feels the big kat crushing the bones in his arm:: AaaRRGH!! ::screams in pain, and one arm falls limp beside him, but the other is wrapped even the more tighter around DK’s windpipe::
<JosieLyons> Right! ::hurries towards DK ‘n Shade holstering her gun. gets up and kicks DK in the gut::
<DarkKat>::gerks… that hurt… and is running out of air as he’s unable to pry off Shade:: <Josie> Shade let go! ::yelps out::
<Creeplings>::swarm towards Leo, are about seven or eight of them still::
<ShadeSK> He’s…almost…::a nasty sound of bone against bone was heard as DK suddenly whipped his big head back into Shade’s face. He let his grip of Dark Kat go and crumpled to the floor::
<LeoSK> Come on! I’ll take all of ya!
<DarkKat>::kneels over gasping for breath.::
<JosieLyons> Shade?!
<DarkKat>::used the one with his rings too XD oooow quickly stands up, hurries to the control panel to set off the explosives himself on the airballoons::
<JosieLyons> no you don’t! ::runs after leaps in his way to cover the button so he can’t press it XD::
<3creeplings> ::all pounce at Leo, try to claw up him ‘n his uniforms:: <others>::chitter laughing::
<ShadeSK> ::thought to be dead, the creeplings leave him to lie motionless on the floor undisturbed::
<LeoSK> ::Grins:: <Good…> ::Pulls out knife, starts a swinging as he gets all cut up::
<ShadeSK> ((<Leo> Anyone up for creepling jerky strips?))
<Creeplings>::screee leggos Leo, two others leap at him to try ‘n get the knife::
<JosieLyons> ((::dead:: ewwww))
<DarkKat>::trying to shove Josie away::
<JosieLyons>::fighting back, but DK’s stronger::
<ShadeSK> ::slowly comes back to himself, the burning sensation in his arm and chest coming back to him as well:: Dark Kat…Josie…::lifts head to look at the control panel where the two are struggling::
<ShadeSK> <Your gun, Shade. Get your gun!> ::slowly reaches for the gun at his side, flips off the safety, and painfully slides it from the holster::
<DarkKat>::slowly forcing her off the panel, shoving her at her side with one paw, trying to reach the button with the other, as Josie has to use both her paws to hold him back::
<JosieLyons> Ar-Archeao! I… need some help!
<ShadeSK> ((<Leo> ::busy still making chop-suey out of those creeplings XD::))
<LeoSK> ::GROWLS, lows through creeplings and jumps onto DK’s back, diggin’ claws in::
<ShadeSK> ((<Ninjakats> Chop suey!! ::all jump into room, with plates and chopsticks::))
<JosieLyons> ((::laughs:: <Leo> These will go fine with pork rinds and chips ‘n dip for any one having a football party at their house during the game.))
<JosieLyons> ((::dies:: maw poor things aren’t fed XD))
<LeoSK> ((Plows!!!))
<ShadeSK> ((<Leo> Eat your heart out, Martha Stewart!))
<LeoSK> ((She’s evil!))
<JosieLyons> ((lol!))
<ShadeSK> ((XD))
<DarkKat>::yowls as feels Leo’s claws in his back, lets Josie go and spins trying to grab ahold of Leo::
<JosieLyons> ::falls over gah! looks up ‘n over at them::
<Creeplings>::hop up and down chittering watching DK ‘n Leo::
<ShadeSK> Ah, shat up! ::blasts one of the creeplings into eternity, still pain-ridden on the floor::
<JosieLyons> Shade? ::happy to see he’s… well awake XD::
<Others>::blinks at their fallen comrade. all turn and slowly approach Shade, their black beady eyes shining::
<DarkKat>::uses the same tactic he did with Shade, slams into a nearby wall with is back to try ‘n get him off unless he moves in time::
<LeoSK> ::Growls:: Umf! Fine..be that way! ::Pulls out knife and well…yeah cuts his back up a bit::
<ShadeSK> …ah crud…::groans, trying to get up on his side to pick off some of the creeplings before they get to him::
<DarkKat>::snarls and falls forward:: Forget him, get this kat off me!! ::yells at the creeplings::
<Creeplings> kree? ::those that didn’t get fired at hurry and all grabby Leo at once::
<LeoSK> Ha ha! I..Huh wha’?! ::as creeplings grab him:: Leave me alone! Get offa me!
<ShadeSK> Kats alive! There all over Leo! ::picks up gun, and tries to fire, but can’t get a clear shot without taking out Leo as well::
<JosieLyons> ::skitters to her feet and helps Leo to pry off the creeplings::
<DarkKat>::stands up back hurting him like heck! slowly crawls to the control panel again::
<LeoSK> Dark Kat!! Get dark Kat!
<ShadeSK> ::manages to get onto his shaky feet and stumbles across the room, rather pathetically::
<DarkKat>::reaches up, trying to find the proper button from his level::
<ShadeSK> ::raises gun, fires, and the control panel erupts in a shower of sparks that stings DK’s body::
<JosieLyons> ::nods punch creepling out, hurries towards DK grabs at his paw from the side::
<DarkKat>You again?! ::raises other fist to slug her, but the panel erupts in electricity giving him a nasty shock!::
<JosieLyons>::let go before she gets shocked too::
<DarkKat> Yooooowwls finally letting go of the panel and falls over on his injured back. the orange glow in his eyes gone out to a black::
<JosieLyons> ::gasps watching him fall over:: ((<city>::gets an earthquake from his big ‘ol self::))
<ShadeSK> ::breathing heavily, once the big guy fell, a swarm of creeplings flew over DK and attempted to carry him out of the room::
<ShadeSK> ((lol!))
<JosieLyons> ::lets them do so. hurries to Shade:: You alright?
<ShadeSK> ::drops gun on floor, leans heavily against the wall:: I feel…horrible…
<JosieLyons> ::goes to help Shade, drapes one of his arms over her shoulders. turns to Leo:: You okay, Archeao?
<ShadeSK> ((<Leo> ::flattened on the floor due to being on DK’s back when he fell over:: Well, I tell ya’, I’m a whole lot thinner.))
<JosieLyons> ((::dies!:: ))
<JosieLyons> ::helps Shade walks over to Leo::
<LeoSK> I’ll be okay…What about you two..?
<LeoSK> ((<Leo> I needed to slim down a bit but this is NOT what I had in mind!))
<JosieLyons> I’m alright but… ::looks to Shade:: We better get him out.
<ShadeSK> ((lol!!))
<JosieLyons> ((::dead!::))
<ShadeSK> ::chuckles a bit, but stops due to pain in chest:: I’ll be okay. We need to inform someone of what we found.
<JosieLyons> We will, but first lets get out of here.
<ShadeSK> ::nods, and they exit the room::
<JosieLyons> ::helping Shade out, keeping an eye on Leo too. you men, always getting hurt XD find their way out finally.::
<Enforcers ‘n ambulance>::had taken Alex off to be looked at, a few more remain there::
<JosieLyons> Hey! ::approaches them:: Quick, they need to be looked at.
<Medics>::rush to them and help Shade ‘n Leo to sit someplace to look them over if muns wish::
<ShadeSK> ((::laughs:: Us big macho guys, we like pain! Ha ha! Pain is goood.))
<JosieLyons> ((lol!))
