After a strange attack on his mother chance is forced to face a new challenge that is harder then anything he has ever faced. Jake however seems to know more about what is going on then he lets on.


The next morning Chance awoke to the familiar sound of his alarm going off. With a sigh he hit the off button, got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. Unsurprisingly Jake was already there with a bowl of cereal and milk on the table.

"Morning Jake, I take it our newest member is not up yet?" Chance asked as he prepared his own breakfast and sat down at the table.

"Yup that is just about sums it up." Jake replied coolly as he took a bite of his cereal. "And I have no plans of getting him up. Knowing Steele he will complain until our ears bleed, and besides it is not our fault if he is late for his first day of work."

"True, but he better hope that we do not have any calls or else we are dragging his sorry tail out of bed." Chance said.

"So let's get the shop open so we can get to work." Jake said putting his bowl into the sink and walked out of the kitchen towards the garage.

Chance finished his cereal and followed Jake making sure to grab the keys to the garage as he left. They opened the shop at 9 a.m. and just in time for three cars to come in. They managed to fix the cars by mid day only to have two more come in. It was not until 1 p.m. that Steele final came down still in his night cloths. Chance and Jake glared angrily as he walked past and made his way towards the kitchen.

"What are you looking at?" Steele asked giving them a hard glare.

"You, the shop opened at o 900 and you did not show up for work." Chance growled angrily. "Now get dress, grab a rag and start getting to work before I bring dad into this."

"Oh brining your dad into this real mature." Steele said with a roll of his eyes.

"Yah, and you can explain why you were not working when you were suppose to David." Jake replied. Steele opened his mouth to say something but before he could get the words out the alarm went off. Chance rushed over the phone and picked it up in a heartbeat feeling relieved to have this distraction.

"Yes Mrs. Briggs?" Chance said.

"T-bone we have a problem downtown, Dark Kat is unleash of some sort of invisible monsters and the enforcers are getting creamed." Callie said over the radio.

"Were on it Mrs. Briggs." Chance replied and hung up the phone. "We got problems remember that thing that attacked us yesterday?"

"Yah what about it Chance?" Jake asked.

"Well Dark Crud was the one controlling it and now more of them are attacking downtown." Chance said.

"Crud we got to go immediately, Steele stay here and guard the shop. Remember if anyone asks we are on a tow." Jake ordered as he and Chance rushed down to the hanger and got ready to take off.

(Meanwhile on the Fearship)

"You had better not fail me Todd." Dark Kat said putting his fingertips together.

"I will not Dark Kat, when have I ever failed you." A tan furred kat with brown tiger strips on his arms said. "Besides with the hollows at our side nothing will stop us from taking over this city, and then the world."

"Excellent and what about the Swat Kats, how do you plan to deal with them?" Dark Kat asked.

"The best part of the hollow is that not only is it invisible to the human eye, but also is extremely resistant to almost all weapons. There is no weapon so far that can destroy them, the Swat Kats will drop like flies before us." The kat Todd said turning around to reveal a large hole in the middle of his chest.

"I am glad you think that but the real test will soon begin, which is also why we are staying as far away from the city as possible." Dark Kat said hitting a button on his terminal and a giant screen. "And should you fail there will be no mercy."

"Of course master no mercy." The kat Todd replied.

When T-bone and Razor arrived on the scene everything was in utter chaos. The enforcers were firing their weapons at random and utterly missing their target.

"Are you seeing what I am seeing buddy?" T-bone asked.

"A giant monster with a weird white mask yup. Wonder why Feral's men cannot see it? It is so large that I think it would be really hard to miss." Razor replied.

"This is Ann Gora Kats Eye's News where an unseen monster is attacking the city. The Enforcers themselves also seem to be having a hard time brining this creature down. This may be the final hour of Megakat history as we know it." Ann said on the T.V.

"Crud it looks like we are the only ones who can see that thing buddy." T-bone growled.

"Yeah and if Feral keeps this up then someone is going to get hurt." Razor added. "Alright, slicer missiles do your thing."

Several slicer missiles launched from the Turbokat and opened up as it streaked across the sky. The monster noticed this however and smacked the missiles away the shot a large blast of blue energy.

"Crud we cannot destroy this thing even with the dimensional radar." T-bone said as he tried desperately to steady the Turbokat.

"There is one way." Razor said pulling out a candy dispenser from his pocket and popping a green pill into his mouth. At first Chance could have sworn he was going mad and seeing two Jakes in different costumes until the other Jake dressed in the black kimono and white jacket said. "Stay here and keep them busy buddy. I will explain on the way back."

"Got it," T-bone replied as the kimono Jake popped open the canopy and jumped out and landed in midair. "Wow that has got to be the coolest thing ever. Hey back there you think you can run the gunner seat while Jake is out.

"You bet Jake san programmed me with everything I need to know about the control panel in the Turbokat." The Razor said in a weird voice.

"Well that is good to know." Chance said with a smile. He did not know what was going on but he had a feeling the battle was about to turn around.

"Now roar and strike, Ryuujin." Jake said as he drew the katana at his waist. The katana immediately changed and became slightly shorter, the guard turned into a dragon that looked as though it was devouring the blade and on the end of the handle was a claw that was grasping a large sapphire.

"Ha who is this new little kitty, come to play?" The white masked creature asked with a laugh. "Well it looks like you are all doomed."

"You are wrong hollow." Jake said raising his arm and pointing his katana at the white masked creature. "When I am through with you there will be nothing left of you to send to hell or the soul society."

"That is what you think fool," The creature called a hollow said opening its mouth and immediately a dark line appeared across its mouth followed by a large blast of red energy.

"Cero," Was all Jake could shout before having to dodge the attack. T-bone did a barrel roll and nearly missed getting hit by the attack.

"What the heck was that?" T-bone growled.

"A cero, an attack that hollows use that compresses their spiritual pressure and fires it into one large beam of energy. It is not accurate and takes a long time to power up but it is really powerful should you get hit by it." Razor said

"Thanks for the info, but how do we defeat that thing?" T-bone growled.

"We cannot only Jake san can. A hollow can only be defeated by a zampakto." Razor said.

"Now it is my turn." Jake said grasping the hilt of his katana. He charged towards the hollow with incredible speed that put him almost in front of the hollow. The hollow swiped at Jake but he merely sidestepped the attack and slashed his katana upward across the creatures mask.

"Tch to shallow" Jake said as part of its mask came off. The hollow roared in pain and back handed Jake through the air.

"Jake are you alright buddy." Chance asked.

"Yah I am fine, just did not see that attack coming is all." Jake replied through his communicator.

"You are going to pay for this shingami." The hollow shouted then launched a barrage of barrage of strange green energy. Jake quickly slashed through several of them before one hit him in the abdomen and sent him flying across the sky. The hollow laughed and shouted, "Blast"

A giant explosion erupted around Jake followed by a large black smokescreen. "Humph you almost got me there. I have to admit that attack is very powerful I would not have made it if I had not used this technique." Jake replied

"No way that is impossible." The hollow said as the smoke began to clear. T-bone could see Jake standing in the middle with a clear barrier in front of him. Jake smiled and grasped the hilt of his sword again and smiled.

"Bakudo 81 splitting void, a very useful spell don't you think?" Jake asked as he dispelled the clear barrier. "now if that was all you have shall we finish this?"

"Raaaar don't get cocky shingami I have only just begun." The hollow shouted and tried to lash out at Jake.

"Eat buzz saw missiles you white masked freak." T-bone shouted as he launched the Turbokat towards the hollow. Razor launched several buzz saw missiles which soared through the air and sliced through the hollows arm then exploded.

"Nice now it is my turn." Jake shouted jumping into the air and slicing through the hollows mask. "Like I said before if that is all you have then lets end this."

The hollow let out another ear piercing roar and raised its head as a large gate with the upper halves of two bandaged head skeletons appeared seemingly from where Jake had sliced the hollows mask. The bandaged skeletons hands meet at the center of the gate and bellow them were eight golden orbs four on each side that were held together by four chains. Then as though by magic the skeletons arms moves and pulled the gate open and destroying the four chains in the process.

"What the heck is that?" T-bone shouted putting the Turbokat into reverse.

"Don't worry it is not going to hurt you it is just the gate." Jake replied through the communicator.

"The gate, the gate to what, Jake dare I ask?" T-bone asked even though he had a feeling he did not want to know.

"The gate to hell itself, it is where all evil souls such as this one goes when they are cleansed by the zampakto." Jake replied.

A fit of insane laughter filled the air as the gates finished opening and revealed two ropes that were covered in ruins hanging from the archway. What surprised T-bone the most was what came next. A large purple arm covered with tribal markings came out of the gate and skewered the hollow through his abdomen. The arm then pulled the hollow into the gate and as it touched the red void the hollows body dissolved and the last thing that dissolved was the hollows mask. The gates closed on the hollow as the last of his mask disappeared then shattered and disappeared itself.

"Whoa," T-bone said as Jake jumped back into the cockpit and seemingly back into his own body. "I have never seen anything like that before how about you buddy."

"Yup, I am use to that thing, at first it kind of freaked me out but I got use to it after a while." The now normal Razor said. "Come on lets head back to the yard and I will fill you in on the details."

(Back on the Fearship)

"You have failed me Todd." Dark Kat growled angrily as the Fearship turned and flew away before the Enforcers had time to turn their attention on them.

"Well you did not tell me that one of the Swat Kats was also a shingami and a captain to top it all off. Had you told me that little detail I would have sent one of my arrancars." The kat Todd said.

"That was an unexpected turn of events, but it does not change the fact that you failed me." Dark Kat roared slamming his fist on the control panel. "You realize that means that I will show now mercy, it is a pity that I must get rid of my oldest aquantence but what you have done is inexcusable."

"You are right Dark Kat, we agreed to show no mercy." The kat Todd replied then turned and impaled Dark Kat with a katana. "But I never said to whom I would show no mercy. I am afraid your time is up Dark Kat. You had more than enough chances to take over this city. Now it is time for a new criminal to take over."

"You wretched little worm I will get you for this." Dark Kat growled grabbing the katana's blade.

"Not likely old boy, in fact you will not even be around to stop me. Now shred, Blanco el Tigre." Todd said and with a yell Dark Kat was shredded to pieces. The creeplings all shrieked as Todd turned and faced them. "You have a new master now, and unlike Dark Kat my plans for takeover are much larger and more sophisticated then his. All shall fall before me as I bring the entire world to its knees no one in this world or the soul society will be able to stop me."

(Back at the Salvage Yard)

"Man what a day, I cannot believe that we had to take on that monster." Chance said as the two of them got out of their jet and donned their normal work cloths.

"Freeze this is the enforcers put your hands in the air." A voice shouted from behind one of the boxes. Immediately a whole group of Enforcers rose from their hiding places and pointed their guns at the pair of kats. "Swat Kats you are under arrest."

"On what charges are you arresting us?" Chance demanded.

"Your charges are for the injury of several kats, destruction of public property, vigilantism, and terrorism. Now surrender or else we will bring you in the hard way." A familiar voice sneered.

"David Steele I guess this is not much of a surprise." Jake said as he and Chance raised their paws.

"That is Lt. Commander Steele to you vigilantes. You see while you were away I made a few phone calls and managed to not only get my job back, but also got an arrest warrant for your arrest from one of the other higher-ups." Steele said as he and several other enforcers came in and helped to hand cuff Jake and Chance.

"You are making a big mistake Steele you take us away and the city will fall before you know it." Chance warned.

"Oh save it for the judge you two." Steele hissed angrily.

"Hey what about our rites, I want a lawyer." Jake shouted

"Sorry but we do not give criminals like you lawyers so keep your trap shut and get moving." Steele said shoving Jake and Chance out of the workshop.
