Furry search engine

formerly SoFurry search engine

The sun is beaming on Megakat City, the anthro felines that call the city home are going about their rounds... an explosion rocks one of the banks as two cybernetic cats walk out wearing black mobster attire, each one baring a gun arm with multiple barrels like a minigun. Law enforcement vehicles come screaming down the road, however they are quickly taken out by the weapons fire as they crash into each other and the buildings.

Nearby, an anthropomorphic cat wearing a pink dress and blue tie, her blonde hair is long flowing as her light brown fur shines in the light her green eyes behind a solid piece of glass that makes up the core of her glasses, she pulls out a grey device "Swat Kats, the Metallikats are here, they've just robbed the new bank!"

A male voice comes through "We'll be there soon Ms. Briggs!"

The two robotic felines continue their advance, the shorter kat focusing on mowing down ground vehicles while the taller aims for the enforcer helicopters, which thankfully are getting out of the way and using the buildings for cover.

The shorter kat gives a laugh "It's like shooting fish in a barrel, eh Molly?"

Molly replies "Sure is Mac, nothing like a walk out in the town." as she finally brings a helicopter down.

A heavily armored enforcer truck arrives, cats storm out wearing grey uniforms with blue visors and black vests with black combat boots, holding red assault rifles, another runs out, a she-cat with long black hair save for some white highlights on the sides as her dark eyes focus on the Metallikats and she's wearing the same uniform as the others.

Briggs calls out "Felina!"

Felina looks to her "Deputy mayor? Stay down!" as she takes cover.

Briggs rolls her eyes "What do you think I'm doing?!"

Weapons fire goes over their head, they both look up to see a black jet with red secondary colors and three mighty engines closing in.

Briggs smiles "Right on time fellas!"

Felina looks over the car, a flash of light from the sky catches her eye, the flash comes again and a blue portal opens, a shuttle comes flying out which catches everyone's attention to where everyone stops shooting. The craft spins to it's right, crashing into the street just behind the truck Felina arrived in, going into a spinning flip before crashing into a semi-truck and coming to rest just as the portal closes. The shock soon wares off however and the Metallikats resume their attack, all Felina and Briggs can hope for is that this battle ends quickly so they can deal with whatever the craft is.

....................

I groan as I slowly get up off the floor, it take a few seconds but I feel my senses coming back, I hear what sounds like weapons fire, I put my helmet on as I look around to see what weapons I had, not much just an m4a1, an 870, two 1911's and some grenades, manage to open a door to see quite a sight, anthropomorphic cats, two of which are androids and a big black jet is floating around... I must be in a cartoon. I leap from the shuttle and run to what look like officers that have taken cover behind the vehicles, I slide next to a female officer which causes her to jump.

"Relax! I'm friendly, I'm friendly!" as I see her flash her gun.

The cat raises her brow "Who are you?"

"Names Adam, I'm from that shuttle that fell out of the sky!"

The she-cat nods "I'm lieutenant Felina Feral, the commanding officer, you may be an alien but I'm not picky on having support."

I hear cries for help, I try my best to look over and I see an officer down and he's hit pretty bad, I look to Felina "I gotta get that officer out of there, can you give me covering fire?"

Felina nods "Consider it done!" as I leave my rifle and shotgun here.

I dash around the vehicle as Felina and some officers cover me, I grab the officer and I begin to drag him back as best I can, but he's kinda heavy. I manage to get him back, a medic comes over and he begins to work on him as I get my weapons together.

Felina eyes the scene "We've got more wounded but we can't get to them!"

That black jet goes zooming past us, it fires some large missiles which detonate close to the two robots, silence takes the air as the officers stop shooting and all I can see is dust.

I slowly creep around the car with my weapon at ready, I can just feel everyone staring at me, my boots crunching debris with every step, no weapons fire comes my way at all. I slowly lower my weapon as I look back but weapons fire quickly resumes, forcing me to duck behind a ruined car, the rounds causing vibrations in my helmet as I hear nothing but bangs and metalic clangs. I quickly lean up and open fire with the officers, the m4a1 unleashing it's payload as both machines come into view, they honestly look like feline terminators. The taller one fires a burst my way, I try to duck in time but one of the shots hits the left side of my helmet which forces the helmet off completely, Felina stares at me as I try to get up, my ears ringing from the impact as I reload the rifle.

Felina makes her way over to me "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just a little shell-shocked!", weapons fire hits the hood of the vehicle and I blind fire, my rifle exploding into shards a second later.

I scoff as I ditch the rifle grip and stock as that's all that's left of it and ready my shotgun. I look back over to see the stubby one aiming his weapon at us this time, a missile being deployed. I grab Felina and begin to run back with her as it launches, it hits behind us and we go flying, in my case I go over a car and she lands on a ruined mattress. All i hear is white noise at first, but my hearing quickly comes back as I realize I no longer have my shotgun.

That black jet comes around and deploys a pod, revealing a masked cat on a motorcycle. Missiles fire from the bike, a smoke screen deploying in front of us, the bike stops next to us as Felina joins me, the cat comes over, he's wearing a blue uniform with black and red and his face is masked, his build about the same as Felina but bulkier.

Felina eyes him "Nice of you to join us Razor!"

Razor gives a snicker "Any time.", he looks to me "And... uh, who or what are you?"

"I'm Adam, a human from Earth." still trying to re-balance myself.

They put on looks of disbelief and the she-cat breaks the awkwardness "You're on Earth and we've never seen anything like you."

Weapons fire resumes, I growl "Damn robots!" as I pull my pistols out.

An officer sounds "Tank support is on the way!" and another "They're killing us, we ain't got a chance and that ain't fair!"

I quickly come up with a plan "Alright enough!", earning everyone's attention "Let's get in the war! I need two runners to flank left, you don't need to land a shot, run and gun and get their attention!", I look to Razor "How fast can you run?"

Razor smirks "Enough to run circles around these clowns."

An officer scoffs "Since when are you giving the orders?!"

Felina rolls her eyes "I don't see anyone else coming up with anything!", she looks to me "What about me?"

"Your with us, we're going to storm them!"

Razor pats my shoulder "I like you already." readying some kind of weapon on his wrist.

I look over the car "Think your friend in the jet can shake em a little?"

The masked cat braces "No problem."

"Alright, after the jet does it's deal we carry out the plan, get ready!"

Razor nods to himself "The turbokat is going to hit them in 10 seconds"

The turbokat zooms forward, missiles and what looks like autocannons fire, the two machines get swarmed as dust and explosions kick up and knocks em around. The runners head out, their rifles blazing with the robots returning fire a few seconds later, the three of us leap from cover, charging the machines, firing as we sprint. Razor and Felina tackle the taller one while I hit the smaller one. The left pistol runs out so I ditch it, the machine aims at me as I aim the pistol at it's head, we fire at the same time, my pistol round smashing into it's maw as it unleashes shot from it's barrel like a big shotgun, shattering the front plates as I'm literally blown away into a ruined car, knocking the air out of my lungs as pain goes through my body in a powerful jolt and I pass out.

...........

With the Metaliikats dealt with, Callie moves about the debris as the turbokat lands nearby, a bigger cat leaps out, masked and covered up like Razor.

Razor eyes him "Good work T-Bone!!" as he gives a thumbs up to the bigger cat.

T-Bone smirks "Always nice turning these guys to junk."

Felina goes over to Adam, she checks his pulse, she sighs with relief "He's alive."

Before Callie can say anything, a helicopter looms and a big cat lands, his eyes a striking yellow and his build is huge.

T-Bone scoffs "Nice of ya to show up Feral, a little late to the party though."

Feral growls "I have more important things to deal with then you vigilante!", he notices the human"What is that?!" with a raised eyebrow.

Felina stands up "His name is Adam, he's a human and he helped us. He helped save a lot of people but now, he needs OUR help and he needs it now!"

Razor eyes Feral "He risked his life saving your guys, he even pulled one out of the fire-zone. Give the guy a break."

Callie looks between both groups "I'll make sure he gets to a hospital."

Feral scoffs "Fine, but I want him under guard, at least for now."

With that Callie looks to the human as medics carefully look him over, the chest piece is destroyed but outside of some heavy bruising on him he's fine, his chest slowly moving as he breathes while the rest of his suit is cracked all the way through. Eventually Callie arrives at the hospital, she gets directions to the room their human guest is in, she gets to the area and sees enforces guarding the door.

Callie approaches them "Please, let me through."

One of the guards salutes "Of course Ms. Briggs." and he opens the door for her.

Callie thanks him and enters, seeing Felina standing next to the humans bed, the she-cat makes herself known "Felina, how is our guest?" as she approaches with caution.

Felina glances to her "He's doing fine, he just hasn't woken up yet."

Briggs folds her arms "After supporting you and the Swat Kats, no wonder he's out cold."

The two she-cats focus their gaze on the human, now that his armor has been stripped away they can really see a few details about him. The obvious was that he has no fur, just smooth, pale skin with a patch of dirty blonde hair, his arms are also on the light side for their size, somewhere between Callie's and Felina. It's bizarre to both of them, nothing about him indicates he has had any conditioning and outside of the bruising, no signs of past combat or even training injuries. The doctors even tested his blood, no sign of any stimulates outside of some from a cup of coffee or two and no drugs of any kind or anything unusual like nano-machines. Either way, there was going to be plenty of questions for him and commander Feral wasn't going to let him leave until he had them, both women knew that for a fact, indeed they had some questions of their own. Calllie moves to the other side of the bed, looking over the human once more, he just looked a little frail and cold. To add to this, the human was only 5'6" tall making him six inches shorter compared to Callie, only adding to the frail-looking nature for her but he was the same height as Felina without the cat ears.

Callie thinks 'I hope Feral let's you go, maybe I can help you. As deputy mayor, I know I can.'

Felina notices the look of her friend and knew what she was thinking instantly, she agreed with it, all he did was help and almost died in the process, her fellow Enforcers wanted to thank him and show their gratitude.

A faint gasp of air leaves the humans lips, catching their attention instantly....

...................

I slowly open my eyes as they try to adjust to the influx of light, I gasp as I feel the pain going through my chest while trying to sit up.

A gentle voice comes from my left "Take it easy, you took a pretty bad hit back there."

I look to see a female cat wearing a pink dress, her green eyes behind glasses made from a single piece of glass and long blonde hair.

The cat gives a soft smile "I'm deputy mayor Calico Briggs, but you can call me Callie if you want.", she motions with her left hand "You've already met lieutenant Felina Feral of the Enforcers."

I look to see Felina grabbing a chair and sitting next to me, her uniform still being dusty as she shares Callie's look.

"I'm Adam, it is nice to meet you, properly I mean." looking between the two and trying to ignore the large bruise on my person.

Felina smirks "You're tougher then you look, you are a brave young man for what you did, you got quite a lot of respect from everyone on the force."

"Is everyone okay?" with open concern for everyone involved, save for those machines.

The officer nods "Some serious injuries, but they'll be fine and the injured enforcer you got out will make a full recovery."

Callie says "The Swat Kats send their praise too, Razor commended on how fast you formed your plan." as she crosses her arms.

I give a nervous chuckle as I rub the back of my head "It was desperate, I'll freelly admit that. But what were those robots?"

Callie says "Those were the Metaliikats, the tall one is Molly Mange and the smaller one is Mac Mange, they are dangerous cyborgs to say the least."

I become shocked "Cyborgs exist here?"

Felina sighs "Yeah, those two have been around since 95."

"1995?" as I raise an eyebrow.

Callie and Felina look at each other and return their gaze to me as Callie says "Yeah it's 1998, what year is it where you're from?"

"It's 2013."

Felina rubs her chin "Wow, a different dimension that is futuristic!" in excitement.

I blink with a sheepish grin "But, we don't have cyborgs where I'm from and we don't have lasers, if anything I would say in a lot of ways that this world is more advanced then mine."

The door opens, revealing a huge cat wearing a similar uniform to Felina's and another cat that is wearing a suit with a green jacket, black vest, and red tie with circular eyeglasses.

Callie looks to them "Commander Feral and Mayor Manx." as Felina gives a salute.

The suited cat nods "Aye, glad to see that we have a newcomer to Megakat City and one who is helpful indeed."

The bigger cat approaches me "You helped a lot of enforcers and you have my thanks but you have a lot of questions to answer."

Before I can speak I hear "Come on, it's a new species! Surely I can get a scoop?"

A guard sounds "Ms. Ann Gora I just can't let you in! Camera or not."

Callie sighs "That's our news reporter for you." as she shakes her head.

I put on a thinking expression 'She'll probably ask questions later, I might as well get it all out there.' and I say "Please, let her in. I'd rather just answer all the questions at once."

Ann's voice comes "See! He even wants to talk."

The cat in the suit eyes the door "Come in Gora, if our guest wants you here then I'll allow it." as the larger cat gives him a look..

Another female cat enters, her brown eyes and hair standing out against a blue dress suit with a camera guy in tow, she comes over "I'm Ann Gora, welcome to our world." flashing a smile.

I just get bombarded by questions, nothing too too deep, but they find my answers interesting. They become stunned when explain the whole shuttle incident and how I am not military at all, how they wanted a civilian to operate a prototype machine and that the lost suit and weapons I used I did in the heat of the moment but I don't regret helping the Enforcers at all. They also ask me the same stuff that Callie and Felina just did so I repeated my answers.

Ann says "After you recover, where will you be staying? The craft you came in is completely destroyed."

I blink at her question "I have no where to go, so on the streets I guess?" arriving at the most likely situation.

Most of everyone puts on a look of concern in some shape or form though the massive cat remains mostly firm, Callie raises her hand which catches the news teams attention.

Callie adjusts her glasses "The young man will be staying with me, he's going to need to get his barrings and figure out what he wants to do. He needs a stable environment and I can provide that for him.", she looks to me "That is, if you want to?" as she gently puts her hand on my shoulder.

I'm a really surprised by this, I just met her and she was more then willing to help me, I nod with a smile "Thank you, I would be grateful."

The suited cat adjusts his tie "Deputy Briggs will help you, she's helped this old mayor greatly over my career." with a huge smirk, both towards me and the camera.

Felina smirks at the cat that I now know is Feral "So, has Adam answered all of your questions?"

Ann and the camera focus on Feral now, if I had to guess he had far more to ask but he looked like he had just gotten caught off guard.

The commander clears his throat "Given all that has happened, the human is off the hook but he needs citizenship papers and identification."

Mank gives a gleeful chuckle "Done and done!" instantly with a jolt of positive energy, raising his right hand up with his pointer extended.

Ann asks if I had anything to add and I do, sharing my concerns for the enforcers who were injured as I had joined their fight and also thanked the Swat Kats for coming to our aid, even saying that without them the plan I had quickly improvised, would have more then likely failed given how dangerous the Metallikats are. I do notice Feral giving a silent scoff as everyone else looks to agree with me, either that or it was just me thanking them.

Eventually the news crew departs along with the mayor and commander Feral, though I do ask Callie and Felina if they can stay a little longer and they say they can. A doctor comes in and he begins to examine me, just a simple check up and not a full physical, after about an hour the doctor confirms that overall my health is okay but I would have to stay in the hospital overnight for observation. I also ask the doctor if there are any clothes available.... considering I only have one set. He writes my clothing sizes down and says he'll see what he can find in the lost and found and the donations bin, he wishes me a good night and he leaves.

Callie looks to me "We'll do some shopping when we get the chance." as she pulls me into a half hug, "I'll be back tomorrow afternoon to come get you."

I feel a sense of warmth from Callie's embrace, I couldn't put my finger on it but I just felt better, I gently hug the she-cat in response.

Felina pulls out what looks like a business card, she hands it to me "My number is on this card, you can call me anytime." with a smile at the end.

I thank both she-cats and they depart, now it was just me laying in the room by myself. Reflecting on the day is an interesting one, I almost got myself killed for one and now I was starting anew, while I will say I'll miss my friends and all, I won't miss my old life at all and I look forward to seeing what I can do here in this world. A fresh start, a chance to where I can really see what I can do and since my new friends seem to be in some powerful positions, it seems I'll really get the chance.

As for living with Callie, that's a situation I have no idea how it would turn out as outside of dealing with my mom and older half sister I have no idea what living with a woman is like. I think back to how I felt when she hugged me, how I felt warm and honestly safe. Felina is also a pretty cool gal and I'll enjoy getting to know her too. But there are two others that also have my attention, the Swat Kats, I didn't see who operated the turbokat and only saw Razor but they are definitely okay in my book and I wouldn't mind hanging out with those two whoever they may be.

But my mind shifts to the Metallikats, if criminals like that exist here, if tech like that also exists here... what else could exist here? I decide to just go to sleep, so I do what I normally do, I take one of the pillows and cuddle it and I slowly drift away into sleep.

..............

Callie arrives at a junk yard via taxi, she thanks the driver while paying her fare and walks over to the garage where her car, a green sedan is close to being done as two cats are finishing up on it. The first is a large cat with yellowish tan fur with rusty red stripes on his arms and the second is smaller and average size with his fur being golden brown, these two are Chance Furlong and Jake Clawson respectively.

Jake notices Calllie "Hi boss." trying to be suave.

Callie gets closer "Hi boys, how's the work coming along?" in her friendly tone.

Chance closes the hood "She's all good to go ms. Briggs." as he wipes his hands on a rag, trying to act llike Jake.

Callie smiles "Thanks a bunch." as Jake hands her the keys.

Jake gives a shrug "No problemo!", he decides to ask for his curiosity "We saw you on tv with the human, how's he doing?"

Callie adjusts her glasses "The poor guy is still in the hospital, he'll be coming home with me tomorrow."

Chance blinks for a quick moment but gives a grin "I can't think of anyone else who could tackle that better. But if you don't mind me asking, until he gets situated what's the plan?"

The she-cat answers "Until things level out I'll bring him to work with me.", she sighs "Though, despite his stunt earlier I can tell he's scared and frightened, but the best part is he seems to trust Felina and I. Plus he knows the Swat Kats are the good guys through and through."

Chance and Jake mentally smile at that, the deputy mayor pays them for their work and the mechanics head inside as Callie drives away.

Jake looks to the larger kat "This human, he's got fire in his heart, being face to face with him, I saw the switch flip in his mind, coming up with a plan on the spot." giving off a proudish smile as he grabs a doughnut.

Chance cracks open a can of milk "So you aren't going crazy because he's crashing at Callie's place?" giving an amused smirk before beginning to gulp the drink down.

Jake rolls his eyes "I know I know, but the guy needs some slack and some breathing room. Besides like Callie said, his adrenaline was going crazy so he acted, but now that it's sunk in, he's gotta sort himself out."

......................

Callie is back at her place, preparing for her guest by getting the couch ready as she breaks out some sheets, blankets and pillows. Thankfully the couch does turn into a bed so Adam would have plenty of room when he sleeps, the she-cat is excited to have some company as she gets everything ready, happy to help someone in need and wondering what the humans interests were. Given she has a day off in a few days, she can bring Adam out on the town and she's already asked Felina to join in and she accepted, plus she was thinking of asking Chance and Jake to also tag along as it would also help if he had some guy friends.

Callie thinks back to when she hugged the human, how he melted into her embrace instantly, she can't help but let a tear slip as she thinks just how lonely the human must really be.

Callie thinks 'If I didn't feel sad for him before, I do now.'

To be continued...
