Chapters SWAT Ponies: The Radical Squadron
Megakat City
A suddenly explosion tears up the tranquility of the early evening, jolting half the city awake, and prompting every cat near the site to run in panic, when the smoke clears, Dark kat stands in the middle, laughing maniacally.
“When I finish my latest device, the Megakat city will be a pile of rubble in my feet” the mad cat says, smiling, “Now, my loyal imps, bring me the sorcerer” the two most loyal minions of dark kat obey, bringing a very beaten Past Master to the feet of the shadow cat.
“Well, well, well, my old friend” Dark kat says, smiling, “now I have a task for you, and you WILL obey me, or I assure you that all your extended time in my new world will be a very short one.”
“Be as you wish, Dark kat” the old time sage says, spitting a little blood, “but when I escape, and be sure I will, I am going to ensure that there is no future in your remaining nine lives.” After losing to the shadow cat, the Past Master was bound to the other villain, wich destroyed the old Spellbook of the ages and now has the watch of eternity in his paws, corrupting the ancient device to its will.
“Don’t worry, Time master, the Swat Kats will be here shortly” the dark master says, lifting his sight to the pretty familiar Jet billowing in the distance, “all the nuisances always are on time.”
“Sorry for being late to the party, Dark kat, but we are finishing your thieving rampage in Megakat city today!” T bone exclaims, avoiding a couple of laser beams that the goons of Dark cat were firing against the Turbokat.
“T-bone, please be careful, these lasers could disable the Turbokat, and I prefer that for once, we arrive at the hangar without damages on the plane” Razor says, at the same time aiming the guns of the modified jet to the villains, “I think they need to get stoned, cement Gatling gun, fire!” the weapon on the nose of the plane shot out, covering the villains in a quick dry compound, effectively immobilizing them and securing a halt of the hostile fire, after a while, a couple of helicopters appear, wearing the logo of the Enforcers, Megakat city official police force.
“This is commander Feral of the Enforcers, you damn vigilantes, stand aside” the grating voice of the old cat resonates trough the speakers “We the enforcers have this situation under control.”
“Yeah sure, like the last four times you say that this week, Feral” T-bone says, gaining an exasperating grunt from the other cat, “why you always get late to the party, anyways?”
“NO MORE” Dark kat says suddenly, “SORCERER DO YOU THING, NOW!”
“Wait, since when the Past Master and dark kat are working together” Razor says, eyeing warily the old cat, lifting his signature watch “T-Bone, take care, this guys are serious business!”
“I know, pal, hang on tight, we are coming hot!” his partner says, lifting the joystick of the Turbokat, trying to avoid the oncoming beam.
“Hear the ancient spell this old sorcerer cast,
While standing in this times past, send those I choose
To a future without any hope for them, and now arise
Time Portal!”
“Ok not the usual trash about the other times… Wait a sec, he said future without any hope!” T-bone says, pulling frantically the joystick of the Turbokat, without any luck. The beam of dark magic hits the plane, and after a blinding explosion, both vigilantes and their airplane simply disappear.
“It is done, Dark kat, finally the Swat Kats are no more!”
Equestria, near Canterlot Mountain.
“Twilight, are you sure this is a good idea?” Spike says, looking warily to his mother/big sister.
“Don’t worry Spike, this is perfectly safe, the Arcanum itself tested it, it is foolproof” the purple princess says, waving a hand over a book and looking into the Everfree with a spark in her eyes, "also we need to be near the everfree so we can do a lot of experiments today with the wild magic of the forest, it isn't exciting?"
“Whatever you say Twi, however, why we are here, separated from all the Canterlot city and Ponyville?”
“Safety reasons, we don’t want to get you all big without seeing if it is safe, that’s why I also ask the celestial air force to help us with this, they can stop you… Probably” the alicorn says, eyeing her assistant with a big creepy smile.
“I still don’t think this is a good idea” Spike states flatly, “also why are purple clouds in the sky?”
Unknown to both the dragon and the princess, the time rift that the Past master cast finally drops out the aircraft of the Swat kats over the sky in the testing ground, when the storm fades, Twilight’s eyes went all white, shooting a spell to her assistant, making him change again like all those years ago, and she faints after this magical surge.
Equestria airspace, Near Canterlot Mountain.
“T-bone, T-bone, wake up pal, we are falling!” Razor frantically yells, Jolting awake his old pal from their forced slumber.
“Okay, Okay I am up little princess, stop tangling your tail over a… where in the seven hells are we!” T-bone says, flaring his wings over the back of the seat.
Wait, wings?
“Razor, I think we don’t are cats anymore, I don’t even know where we are and-“
“DRAGON!” A sudden yell from his partner keeps anything else the pilot were saying from, while he frantically pulls the thrusters to its full capacity, launching them soaring over the foreboding forest both were flying above.
“- And I think those guys down there needs our help, Swat kats style!” T-bone finishes, doing a nosedive from where they hear the shout.
“Wait T-bone, what if these folks doesn’t know about technology” Razor says, “we cannot risk changing the story because of this.” Before the pilot could answer, a lot of planes appears on the horizon, all with gold and blue paint.
“Unknown aircraft, this is Her royal majesty air force, commander Glimmer Sky speaking, identify yourselves before we start to open fire, I repeat, Unknown aircraft, this is Her royal majesty air force, commander-“
“Ok Razor old pal, this answers your question?” T-bone says, pulling up to avoid a pair of missiles from the incoming aircrafts, “this guys at least have better aim that the enforcers, hold on tight!”
“Commander Sky, this is the Swat Kats, please hold your fire, we are friends!” Razor yells into the communicator, without succeeding, “oh holy fish, we are without radio, T-bone what are we going to do now?”
“Answer them, get ready the shark missiles!”
“Ok, shark missiles, fire!”
A pair of missiles got out the Turbokat, after a while both transformed into flying buzz saws and cut the wings of some of the reactors following the nimble black aircraft, disabling two of the aircrafts now locked in combat with the vigilantes.
“All aircrafts, return to base, and get the heavy jets for fighting this menace, I repeat,-” the voice of the commander fades quickly.
“Well, that is all folks, now, with the dragon, we need to immobilize it, Razor, any ideas?”
“well star pilot, we have a couple of octopus Missiles, a shark missile, two Scramblers and one phosphorus left” Razor sums up, smiling, “we are almost at no fuel and we need to stop a giant lizard, all the odds are against us.”
“Just as I like it!” the pilot answers, “get ready the Octopus, I have one idea”
“Aye!” Razor says, getting the missiles ready and out, “now what?”
“Aim for the face and lets clamp up this overgrown lizard, shall we?” T-bone says, smiling to his partner.
SWAT Ponies: The Radical Squadron
Canterlot Mountains
“So, let me get this straight, you want to cast a spell on Spike to make him grow in a controlled manner, instead, we got again Spikezilla and a unknown jet that is trying to stop him to wake havoc on the city, I am right ?” an angry Rainbow Dash exclaims, carrying a groggy Twilight Sparkle on her back, trying to put distance between the black jet fighting Spike and them, “Geez Twi, and you guys always are saying that I am the reckless one.”
“No more bell sprouts, Celly” Was the purple librarian mumble over the shoulder of the daredevil, still dazed for the magical backslash.
“Later I am going to get to you for this Twi, just wait” Rainbow says, anger seeping in her voice, jumping to avoid a boulder, while jogging with the purple alicorn on her back, suddenly, an increasing shadow in the floor calls her attention, then a net was launched towards her, before she could even scream, she was lifted with the librarian before a huge green and purple tail smashed the ground where they previously stood.
“Need a lift?” a raspy voice from above says, jerking her head up, Rainbow saw a brown Pegasus looking down from a hole in the lowest part of the unknown ship canopy, clad in a blue, red and black jumpsuit.
“Who are you?”
“The name is Razor, and my friend on the controls is T-bone, we are the SWAT Kats”
“Fast with the ladies, Razor?”
“Shut up and fly, T-bone”
“Roger, Tell the ladies that this is going to be a jumpy ride!” T-bone says, then the black airship jerked up, avoiding a giant purple claw.
“Wha-“the rest of the phrase dies in Rainbow throat, as they both were pulled into the belly of the fighter and then the black airship lurching forward, at the same time, tree more fighters appears, these ones better equipped than the others that the vigilantes have fought before.
“Unknown aircraft, this is Lt. Spitfire from the Wonderbolts, release the two hostages that you are carrying in this moment and come with us to the nearest airbase in Cloudsdale district.”
“What are we going to do now Razor?” T-bone asks, “These guys apparently are better trained than the Enforcers, and we still have a little problem” the pilot says, jerking his head towards the huge dragon on the forest.
“Well, we are almost out of fuel, and we need to resupply, I think we better follow them for now, buddy” the marksman on the aircraft says, gaining a glare from his partner, “however we need to check how we are going to help to solve this problem.
“Affirmative” The pilot says, pulling the lever to fall in formation with the other aircrafts, and all of them going towards the south west of the position of the huge lizard.
“I only hope that we can explain to the locals why we shot down two of their aircrafts…”
Cloudsdale Air District, four hours later
“YOU TWO!” A silver mane, golden fur stallion in a gray jumpsuit yells, pointing the two ex-felines “PAIR OF BUFOONS, ARE A SERIOUS TREAT TO ALL THE PONIES IN HERE!”
“Ok, we just meet the pony counterpart of Feral” T-bone says lazily, looking over the enraged stallion and into the huge airbase in the clouds.
“Hey yellow guy, do you have any idea how to stop the giant purple lizard that is rampaging towards here” Razor asks, looking at the stallion, very interested in the throbbing vein pulsating in the other pilot’s temple.
“IT IS GLIMMER SKY, YOU DAMN FOOL AND I DEMAND YOU TO STOP-“
“Commander, enough!” a distressed Twilight Sparkle says, “these two are the last chance to stopping spike from going full berserk in Canterlot, he now is sleeping, but I need him fully unconscious to perform a reverse spell, and your suggestion, while appreciated, could hurt Spike and enrage him.”
“Ma’am, a tactical missile…” the commander begins
“A tactical missile would leave him unconscious, yes, but it can also destroy half of the block in wich spike is, commander, the answer still is no.”
“T-bone, come here, I think I fixed the turbo kat now” Razor begins, “I just finished to study the fuel systems of the planes here, and after a little modifications, I could recreate it into the turbo kat, the only thing we need is a powered crystal or gem.”
“Affirmative” another voice chimes in, when both pilots turn around, a yellow Pegasus with a more dark yellow and red mane, also wearing a jumpsuit and a pair of googles on her neck says, “however, we cannot supply the gem for your plane, seeing that your thrusters are a little more advanced than ours and could burn away the magic on the jewel, I am lieutenant spitfire by the way” the pony says, extending a hand towards Razor.
“Razor and T-bone, heroes by ones, pesky menaces by others, take your pick” T-bone buts in, loading one of the modified missiles in the cargo bay of the turbo kat, when a roar in the distance jerks all the heads up to the west.
“And a giant lizard is up and running away”
“Sorry commander, LT, time is essential” Razor says, jumping over the female pilot and landing on the canopy of the fighter.
“Rock and roll!”
“Wait, if you doesn’t have a fuel gem, how…” Twilight begins, only to be interrupted when the plane ignite the vertical thrusters, gaining some altitude before soaring towards the towering dragon.
“THOSE TWO MENACES STOLE MY FUEL GEM!” a scream of rage sounds from the other hangar.
“Oh…” Twilight says, a little smile gracing his lips.
“I like those two already” Rainbow Dash snickers, finally collapsing to the floor and laughing hysterically.
“Same here, Dash, same here” Spitfire adds, also laughing.
Canterlot Sky, 10 minutes after
“Do you think Commander Sky comes after us?” T-bone asks, looking behind, only to find a smiling Razor.
“Naaaah, he just got a little problem in his hands, also the Royal Guard is down there trying to stop the purple Dragon.”
“With special stress on Trying” T-bone mutters, when a flying tank passes above them, “Ok, wonder shooter, what do we have to do to try and get the beauty sleep for this lizard.”
“Since we reload with loaned supplies I could only make one scrambler missile, do you think 10.000 volts of electricity could knock out that overgrown salamander?” Razor says, smiling.
“I really hope so buddy, because “barney” now is really pissed off”
As the two vigilantes goes forward, the destruction caused by the now gigantic dragon is very evident, a lot of royal guard tanks and remains of planes and helicopters lay scattered in the path of the titan, who was looking towards the palace jutting out the cliff of the mountain.
“MOMMY!!” a sudden high pitched scream snaps out the two ex-felines of their contemplations.
“Crud, there are civilians still out there, Razor, get your tail off this plane and help them!” T-bone says, again hovering near the floor.
“On it, Cyclotron missile, fire!” A huge missile lurch forward the belly of the fighter, switching to a high speed bike, Razor dashes forward, getting the little pony before a huge claw falls down.
“ok little buddy, you are in good hands now” the tactician says, looking to the little filly in his arms, “now to get outta here before more damage could be done”, tapping the communicator in the helmet, he gets a private channel with the Royal Guard.
“Hey guys, anyone lost a filly, mulberry coat, a little card and a rose as a butt tattoo?” he asks, after a little silence, a jagged voice almost made Razor to throw the helmet.
“DO YOU HAVE MY BABY? WHERE IS MY LITTLE ROSE!!!?”
“Ma’am your filly is fine, I am going to leave her in the nearest royal guard post so you can get her ok?”
“Razor, I can manage, go and left the girl with her mom, and come back, double time!”
“Got it pal, good luck.”
Turbo kat, near Spikes current position
“Ok, we are alone, you grown lizard, time for a nap, Scrambler missile, fire!”
The red missile shoot out, impacting the dragon in the chest, after a while, sparks of electricity runs from the impact site, effectively knocking down Spike, wich begins to sway back and forth, before he could fall, however, T-bone latches another cable to the huge dragon, yanking him backwards so he couldn’t do more damage.
“well, we finished here, however, we need an explanation, and I am thinking on a little purple horsey who has a lot to explaining to do” the pilot says to himself, looking to a helicopter coming towards their current position.
“For now, a job well done!”
SWAT Ponies: The Radical Squadron
Ponyville District.
"Ok let me get this straight" T-bone says, a hand in the bridge of his nose, “You” he begins, pointing at Twilight with a finger “are the most gifted magic user in the world right now, and your best idea is tampering with it, also making you,” now the finger is pointing towards Spike, who was trying (and failing) to hide below the table, “take a hell of a grow spurt and making katzilla proud, and you two” the accursed finger now pointing other two alicorns in the room, and the current leaders of all of Equestria, Celestia and Luna, blush hard, “didn’t stop her for doing all this and endangering civilians in the process”, all three princesses look to each other, before nodding, all of them sporting a embarrassed blush across their faces, “go figures, and we thought on Megakat city that Manx was an idiot.” The pilot of the Swat kats sighed, and pushes back into an armchair in the palace of harmony.
“T-bone, chillax man, nobody was hurt, again we were the heroes and we make the official law agency look like a bunch of idiots… well ok that last one doesn’t count, but still” Razor says from the couch, looking at some schematics while tinkering with a Glovatrix, checking the shock shield and the mini missiles on the high tech glove.
“Ejem” Celestia says, trying to steer the conversation out of the most recent crisis, “Well anyway, here on Equestria we would need some extra task force for dealing with these “special” cases, and I want to extend our hands on friendship towards the newest heroes of the land, the Swat Kats, and we hope that you will help us till we can send you back to your original universe” she finishes, with a bright smile.
“Sorry your highness, the almighty Magician here already told us that she can’t pinpoint our exact universe so we are struck here, also we still will help you, but we aren’t going to be a military or specialized unit under your command, also, we are ponies now, so I think that we are now the Swat Ponies” Razor says from the place on the couch, testing the Glovatrix and accidentally sending an octopus mini charge towards Luna, pinning her against the farthest wall of the council chamber, eliciting a grasp of all the present ponies and a murderous glare from the now pinned princess on the wall.
“Woops, sorry about that.”
“Well, questions aside, this technology is amazing, and why our magic cannot grasp it well” Twilight says, stars on her eyes, while jerking the immobilizer missile from the wall and trying to free Luna.
“Heck if I know, Egghead, but this could be really useful in a world that almost half of the habitants could use magic” Razor says, pulling himself off the armchair and with a hand jerking off the missile from Luna’s body, unpinning the Nocturnal Alicorn from the wall.
“For beings of another universe, and one that has a little magic as you previously stated, you two are pretty calm about all this” Celestia chimes in.
“Don’t worry about us ma’am, this is part of the job” Razor says with finality, “we have been in a lot of different paranormal or magic events in our past to be fazed off about almost all the population here being able to wield magic.”
“HIIIIII!” A pink mare suddenly says, jumping off the ceiling, after a closer inspection, the marksman of the vigilantes sees that this particular pony doesn’t have either wings or a horn.
“On a second thought, I didn’t see that one coming” Razor quickly corrects himself, eyeing warily the pink pony on the room.
“And what about your living arrangements, you two have a place to stay?”
“Well, Princess Twilight here said that she needs a pair of mechanics and that we could live in the scrapyard at the outskirts of the city, actually a perfect place to build our base again, we pretty much do the same on Megakat city back in our home world” T-bone says, shrugging off.
Everfree district, near the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters.
Fluttershy was looking over her cup of tea, listening intently while Rarity recapitulates all the encounter in the district a little while ago
“… And then they stopped Spike as if they weren’t even trying, darling, that was simply fabulous, and you should have seen their ensembles, I myself am not a very big fan of black, but that jet of theirs is very… inspiring” the fashionista continues to ramble, lost in thought.
“Um… that’s very nice, I think” the shy Pegasus say in a whisper.
“You two too huh?” a tomboyish voice interrupts both mares, craning her heads up, they soon find their chromatic friend in a cloud, looking down and smiling. Then she hops off and glides towards the table.
“Hi there Rainbow, what are you doing today?” Rarity greets the stunt mare, with a flick of magic from her horn, she pulls out another chair near and the athlete promptly plops down on the chair, looking a little relieved.
“Nothing much Rare, the same stuff as always, I was practicing a little and I overhear you guys talking about the new hotshots, the Swat kats I think they called themselves?”
“You should know them better dear, they weren’t the ones that save you and twilight from being flattened by Spike a little while ago?”
“I wasn’t saved, I was… I was strategically withdrawn of a place of danger while I was rescuing Twi” the speedster quickly says, a faint blush on her cheeks, however we need to know who are those two and…
Before she could end, a purple sprinkling mist seeps from under the door, all three mares begin to fall sleep, and then, they fell off the table, in a pacific slumber, however the front door opens without a noise, and a robed figure enters the house, looking at the now unconscious friends on the kitchens floor.
“Finally after all these months traveling, I, the great and powerful Trixie again am here, and this time, the show will be your last one, Twilight Sparkle!”
