Episode 18a Cry Turmoil
This is your captain speaking. We are now in our final approach
for the world's busiest airport: Megakat International
Please fasten your- What's going on? Mayday… mayday…
Lucky we happened to be in the neighborhood, Razor.
It's not over yet, buddy.
I've still gotta land that jumbo jet. Prepare for magnetic lock-on.
We got 'em. I just hope we can hold 'em. Thrusters to max!
Attention Captain: we're gonna take you in.
Uh... roger.
Nice save, SWAT Kats!
Well, looks like everything's OK.
Yeah, but I wonder what caused that jet to plummet.
Attention, citizens of Megakat City: I am Turmoil.
You have witnessed a sample of my Vertigo Beam.
With this weapon,
I intend to disable every aircraft attempting to fly over Megakat City.
However, I will allow Megakat City to use my airspace
for the paltry sum of two million in gold... per week.
She's got to be kidding!
I will wait no longer than 0800 hours tomorrow for this week's payment.
Turmoil... out.
This is Lieutenant Feral. Turmoil, you're under arrest.
[ Oooh!]
As you can see, all attempts to resist will be futile.
From now on, the skies belong to Turmoil! [laughs]
Guess we're going to have to take this blackmailer in, buddy.
Commander! It's the SWAT Kats, closing fast!
Give them a taste of the Vertigo Cannon as well, Lieutenant.
They're still coming!
Impressive flying. Dispatch fighters.
Understood.
Code red! Repeat, Code Red! Omega Squadron, engage the turbokat.
Think Turmoil's impressed, Razor? Don't take any bows yet, T-Bone.
We've got company.
Let's party!
T-Bone! Engage anti-glare visor.
Flashbulb missiles locked. Deploy!
Augh! I can't see!
Ach! What the- I've... got to... take control! Gotta... fight this... vertigo!
His flying is magnificent.
It would be a waste to destroy such a fine pilot.
Lieutenant! Cease the attack,
and engage tractor beam to bring that craft on board.
Understood. Omega Squadron, disengage.
Razor, we're locked in a... tractor beam.
Razor! Aw, crud! He's out like a blown engine.
I can't let Turmoil get both of us.
You're outta here, buddy! That cold air oughta wake you up.
Augh!
Huh? Wha-Where am I? T-Bone?
He must've had a good reason to eject me out of the Turbokat...
and now I see why.
As you have learned, the Vertigo Ray is nothing to take lightly, SWAT Kat,
and neither is the proposition I am prepared to offer you.
I'm not interested. Relax, T-Bone, and listen.
I see you have lost your partner. Why don't you come fly with me?
Huh! Are you crazy, lady? Crazy?!
What does Megakat City have to offer that can compare with me?
Money? I can give you more than you ever dreamed of.
You want power? You will have my invincible air force at your disposal.
The most high-tech machinery in the world will be at your command.
I'm listening. Your rank will be second only to mine...
Once I am certain of your loyalty, of course.
Eh… well, it's nice to be… wanted.
Besides, the Enforcers haven't exactly been our biggest… fans.
OK. Let's see the jets.
I knew you would see it my way.
I was raised to always offer my seat to a lady.
I just hope I'm not too late to save T-Bone.
An M-24 Mega-thruster?
Huh, I thought this thing hadn't gotten beyond the drawing board stage.
It hadn't… until I perfected it.
I've gotta hand it to ya, Turmoil, you 've thought of just about everything.
Now is not the time to make my move. Too bad I have to bring her in;
she's kinda cool, in a nasty sort of way.
To a successful partnership.
Huh. Looks like I gave those girls the slip.
Whu…?
Keep your hands up! Yes, ma'am. Whatever you say.
Hum! It fits you well... Flight Commander. You don't look half bad yourself.
Come! Let me show you the rest of the ship, and introduce you to your crew.
Razor's sure takin' his sweet time getting' here…
I see all your pilots are female. They are the finest pilots in the sky.
I never saw a male pilot who could outfly them… until today.
I'm flattered.
This is my main weapons panel.
The auto-guns, ship's main energy cannon, and...
The Vertigo Beam? Yes! My greatest accomplishment.
Lucky for you, you will be on this end of it from now on.
Heh, heh, yeah! Quite an operation you have here, Turmoil.
We are gonna drain this city dry. Yes! I like it when you talk tough, T-Bone.
I can do more than talk tough.
Ah! I think I am going to enjoy this partnership.
Turmoil! There's an intruder on board!
It's the other SWAT Kat! So! You were just distracting me
until your partner could attack. Guards! You will pay for this treachery!
Turmoil, wait! I'm on your side now. Let me prove it!
Lead me to that ex-partner of mine,
and I'll toss him off the ship myself.
You made a big mistake coming here, Razor.
Huh? What do you mean, buddy?
And… what's with the outfit?
This is the uniform of a flight commander.
And I'm not going to let you ruin the best opportunity of my life.
T-Bone! What's this all about?
You're a clever kat; you will figure it out.
Take him to the nearest airlock.
Eh! Oh! Ah!
Step aside. T-Bone! What are you doing?
Keeping us both alive long enough to get the drop on this crazy she-kat.
Consider our partnership disolved!
Eeeyaaaaaugh!!
Guess I misjudged you… Flight Commander. Go see if he lands on his feet. [laughs]
Ugh!
What the... ?
Hey, what took ya? Did ya have to kick me so hard?
Oooh! Get them!
After them! I want those two destroyed! His betrayal will cost him his life.
Good thing you left before you had to meet your future outlaw in-laws!
Heh, heh, heh. Very funny. I think the crew is a little upset
you didn't say goodbye, T-Bone. I'll leave the goodbyes to you, buddy.
Buzz-saw barrage… away!
T-Bone! If that beam hits us, we're goners!
Don't worry. I left my ex-girlfriend a little goodbye gift.
T-Bone! You treacherous tomkat!
Turmoil's really gonna be mad at you now!
You don't know the half of it, pal.
I just showered her with gifts!
We're losing power, Turmoil! The crew's already bailed out.
We have to abandon ship before it goes down!
And drop into the waiting arms of the Enforcers? I have other plans.
An unfortunate tactical loss, but I still have my freedom. Ugh! Nooooooo!!
Turmoil... Thanks for the tempting offer,
but it never would have worked out between us.
Guess I'll always be a good guy, and you'll always be a bad girl.
Keep your whiskers clean, beautiful. Your Top Gun, T-Bone.
This puny prison won't keep us apart, T-Bone. [Laugh]
