Who: Kats, Noir, Melissa, Jinx, partners
What: When universes collide or A shocking situation.
When: April 13th, late evening.
Where: Neon City
Kats fingers flew along the keyboard as the sounds of a battle roared in his ear piece.
"YO FURBALL WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?" Jessie's voice rang out almost deafening the techie demanding an explination.
"I'm trying Jessie but there's someone else in the system blocking my hacks. I can't access the security cameras, I can't even track your communicators." Kats complained in a worried voice. This was the first time since joining the pirates that his hacking skills were completely brick walled by a force that wasn't simply a computer defense system. There was someone on another computer who knew how to keep Kats busy long enough for whatever was beating up The pirate's resident strongman and the captain to finish it's work.
Othelo and Kitty stood behind Kats. While Othelo placidly watched Kats work Kitty was pacing like a caged beast. "I don't like this...I'm going out there!" She started for the door but the more level headed pilot grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and held her back. "Our job is to protect the brainchild here. If we go help them then he's a sitting duck and we need the information he's trying to get."
They had infiltrated a real estate firm of all places in an attempt to procure some location data for a small uninhabited planet that rumor had it was loaded with abandoned pirate loot. It had seemed like a simple enough job until something...Jessie could only describe it as green, huge, boobs, had attacked The captain and Jessie who had been guarding the entrance.
With backup roughly five minutes away and the police no doubt a few minutes behind that the pirates had to work fast. And as Kat's frustration mounted against this new rival Kitty's fur bristled with the anticipation of a fight.
The brawling noises went silent on the earbud which was not a good sign. Othelo tensed himself and took a position a few feet from the window. Kitty was closer to the door, crouched and claws ready.
The silence that stretched on between them was broken only by the constant tapping of Kats fingers on keyboard.
BOOM!
A flash of brilliant pink light and a piece of the ceiling caved in. Kats hacked on the smoke and turned with a jerk from his computer to watch as three shadowy figures dropped from the hole.
The largest of the three lunged for Othelo slamming him into the wall. The spiky haired pirate let out a yell of shock and retaliated with a sharp kick that seemed to meet nothing but air. The massive shadow was gone and suddenly to his side. The sound of fist hitting flesh made Kats ears twitch uncomfortably.
The second figure was lanky and thin. It shot through the air at Kitty and in quick flashes of pink light Kats realized she was armed with a pair of blasters. They filled the room with bursts of light each time her shots missed his sister who was barely keeping a step ahead.
The last figure, shorter and none too impressive approached Kats quietly and smiled leaning into his light. She had short hair and a friendly charming sort of face.
"You're under arrest." She said cheerfully producing a length of rope to tie him with.
Kats, not having any intention of going quietly ran for the window thinking he could at least slip out onto the ledge while the more competent fighters brawled in the small room.
A huge figure appeared before him glowering down at him. shadows swirled around his body and a fedora sat perched on top of his head at a jaunty angle. The last thing Kats saw was the monsters fist coming for his face.

"So these scratch guys were bounty hunters?" TA inquired waddling after Kats who was fiddling with a small device he had just purchased.
"In a manner of speaking, they claimed themselves a detective agency though really the only thing they seemed able to detect was our next moves. They would pop up every so often and give the pirates a run for their money." Kats explained strolling down the street without watching where he was going. Every so often TA would take his sleeve and steer him around potential dangers.
"But you guys always got away." TA pointed out tilting her head to peer down an alley. Since Kats was attacked by those Tailmon in Junk City she was particularly wary of alleys.
"Well yes, but it was always close. Their team hacker is on my level if not better...the leader is as fierce a fighter as our strongest but lacks the restraint making him more dangerous." He looked up counting out loud, "Let's see there was the muscular Orc woman Rachel, the hacker, the young sweet girl who liked magic and rope tricks, the sarcastic pink haired gymnast type and the old fashioned Noir detective guy."
"Oh like right there?" TA pointed.
Kats froze and lowered his gaze carefully till it rested on three approaching figures.
A thin pink haired woman.
A smaller short haired girl.
And a tall broad shouldered man in a fedora.
"Oh no..." He whimpered.
