Deep in a swamp located in the Southeastern Peninsula is a band of Freedom Fighters still trying to win back their village from the sub boss Edwin. The Cyprus Knee Freedom Fighters are led by the son, and soon to be Captain of the guard, Jaxson Jaguar. All the Freedom Fighters in that village and in others have had parents who have been robotisized by the evil Ivo Robotnik. Some of these families have been reunited while some have yet to be reunited with their families. In the case of Kathryn Paw of the Cyprus Knee Freedom Fighters she has yet to speak with her mother Sarah. Some day the big reunion will come for those two. MOTHERS and DAUGHTERS Written by Jaxson Jaguar A young female jaguar runs through a courtyard playing with her friends and as she turns around she notices her mother watching over her and her friends. The young jaguar then runs up to her mother and jumps into her arms. The Mother then puts her child down and walks hand to hand with her. Suddenly the scene changes and the young jaguars is loosing her grip as her mother is benign forced into the robotisizer and as she is being pulled away she sees her mother being transformed into a mindless robot slave. Then the situation changes again and the jaguar is now 12 and she is face to face with her mother again just this time her mother is bent on capturing her. The young jaguar jumps around dodging her mothers attempts to catch her and all the while she is trying to get through to her. Then suddenly her mother jumps up after and right before her mother hits her Kathryn Paw awakes from her nightmare. A bit traumatized she walks over to her dresser and picks up a picture that was taken of her and her mom. She then sits down on the floor at the foot of her bed and does something she hasn't done in years...she cries. The next day around noon she is eating lunch at the café looking very upset. "Hey Kat what's wrong?" Asked her best friend Princess Stacie Leo. "Oh nothing just had trouble sleeping that's all." Replied Kathryn rubbing her eyes. Then all of a sudden the village intercom came on. "KATHRYN I NEED TO SEE YOU IN MY OFFICE IT'S IMPORTANT. I better see what Jax wants." She said as she got up from her table and walked over to Jaxsons hut. She walked into the hut and entered Jaxsons office that used to be part of a bedroom but when Jaxson became leader of the Freedom Fighters in Cyprus Knee he turned it into an office. "So what do you need Jax?" Asked Kathryn as she sat in a chair in front of his desk. "Kathryn, how long has it been since you seen or talked to your mom?" Asked Jaxson. Why?" Replied Kathryn. "This solo mission I'm sending you on was brought up by your mom and she requested that you do it. What's the mission?" Jaxson then got up and walked to the holographic map of River City. He then pointed out a small storage building. "This building here contains a generator for the cities major computers. This was put together after our raids on the main city generators. So what does my mom want me to do? She wants you implant a virus into the system. If you send a virus in through the generator then you can infect the entire system." Jaxson then sat back down behind his desk. "So what do you say Kat? I don't think I can do this mission. Kathryn you're the only one here that can implant a virus in sophisticated systems and I think you should use this opportunity to get back together with Sarah." Kathryn then sat back in her seat and thought about the situation. "I have no other choice do I?" She asked. "No, not really." Replied Jaxson. There was a deep silence that followed but was soon broken when Kathryn spoke up. "I'll do it then. Be careful Kat-Paw. I will Jax, I always am." With that Kathryn walked out, went to her hut for a few things, and headed off to River City. Kathryn decided not to take a hovercycle into River City in order to be on more of a low profile. She crept around the city avoiding bots, advancing closer to the C. K. S. N. base. She came to an ally and hid between two dumpsters. She then taped the entrance code to the base on one of the dumpsters. Suddenly one of the dumpsters slid over revealing a passageway to the base of the C. K. S. N. She had just gotten in to the passage when the dumpster slid back into place sealing the entrance. Kathryn continued down the stairs with a hint of worry. She couldn't get the fact out of her head that she had not spoken to her mom in years. As she got to the door of the base a voice came over an intercom. "ENTER VOICECODE." Said the voice. "Kathryn Paw FF003.259-289815." Replied Kathryn. "PLEASE STAND BY." After about a minute the door to the base opened slowly revealing a large circular room filled with computers and other passageways that were used to for transportation all over the City. But Kathryn was looking at all the Robotisized Citizens working the various spy stations. All of a sudden one of them approached Kathryn. "Kathryn, is that you?" She asked. "Momma?" Replied Kathryn very timidly. Sarah then nodded and there was an odd silence. "So mom what did you want to see me for? Jaxson said you had a mission for me." Said Kathryn trying to change the subject. Sarah then saw that her daughter was obviously uncomfortable about the whole thing and led her to one of the surveillance screens. "As Jaxson said this building here is one large computer shed. It holds information for most of the major computers in this city. There is one problem however. Even thou it is not heavily guarded it has one thing that makes it stand out. If any thing organic comes within a 50 ft. radius it will cover it self with impenetrable steel. So how do we get around that?" Asked Kathryn. I'll go in and disarm the security system, but you may only have a few minutes to insert the virus." Said Sarah as looked back at her daughter. "Well then let's get it on." Replied Kathryn. Sarah looked over at Kathryn and smiled. "That's my girl." Then Kathryn did something she hasn't done in years. She hugged her mom and said... "I love you mom. I love you too Kitty-Kat." Kathryn after hearing that looked at her mother is astonishment. "You remembered your nickname for me." Her mother then replied... "I may be metal and wires but I have never forgotten about you." And the two hugged for a little longer. "Well what are we standing around here for? We got a mission to carry out." Said Sarah as the two walked out of the C. K. S. N. base and off to the mission. A little while later the two were in front of an old one-story warehouse. "Kathryn, I'll go and switch off the security system. When it is safe I'll give you a signal. Once your inside waste no time inserting the virus. Got it? I got it mom." The two then hugged again and Sarah headed off to the side of the building to shut off the system. As she got to the box with the system wires she got to work trying to shut off the system. Now when she does Kathryn has only about less then ten minutes to install the virus and get out of the building. After about a minute Sarah gave Kathryn the okay to go in and insert the virus. Kathryn then sprinted on in and worked as fast as she possibly could. She started to install one of her strongest viruses. She had hoped to use it on the computer in Edwin's war room but she figured this mission was bigger. She had just finished entering the code and was starting the download process when she heard a scream outside. She turned around only to see Edwin standing in the doorway holding her mother captive. "Let her go Edwin or I set the virus to speed download. You do that Kathryn and your mother dies." Said Edwin holding a gun to Sarah's head. "Stop the virus and no harm will come to your mother. Don't do it Kathryn." Kathryn looked back and noticed the virus was at 50 percent download. She then looked back at Edwin and said... "No pity with this kitty." She then charged at Edwin and kicked him to the floor. "You'll pay for that Paw." Kathryn just ignored him and gave him a roundhouse kick in the jaw. "Mom get out of here now. I'm not leaving you again Kathryn." Edwin then managed to pick himself up and aimed his laser gun at the two jaguars. "Then you both are fools." Edwin then shot at the two but he missed and hit the virus download computer. "I guess now it's me who is messing up your plans." Edwin then backed up out of the warehouse and turned on the security system. As the front door started to close Kathryn ran out but noticed her mother was still inside. "MOM WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Yelled Kathryn. "I'M FINISHING THE JOB." Replied Sarah as she set her self-destruct mode. "KATHRYN DON'T FORGET I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU NOW AND ALWAYS WILL." Tears started to role down Kathryn's cheeks. "MOM GET OUT." She yelled but it was too late the door was closed and there was nothing she could do. Back inside Sarah's self-destruct was winding down. "I love you Kitty-Kat." With that the building exploded. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Screamed Kathryn as she saw the explosion. All she could do was fall to the ground crying... Then she woke up again. She looked around her room and noticed she must have fallen a sleep after the first time she woke up. She looked out of her window and noticed that the sun was rising so she just decided to take a shower and get dressed. She decided to eat breakfast in her hut because she still wanted to try and make sense of her dream. She knew the part about not seeing her mom in years was true but she didn't know what the rest of it meant. Later that day she was out and about when she ran into Jaxson. "Hi Kathryn I haven't seen you all morning what's up?" He asked. "I had a hard time getting up this morning. That's all. Replied Kathryn. "Are you sure that's all that's wrong Kat?" Asked Jaxson with some concern for his girlfriend. "I'm sure Jax. You know I would go to you if there was any thing wrong." Replied Kathryn. "Okay but if you need anything my door is always open." Jaxson then kissed her on the forehead and walked off. Kathryn knew she needed someone to talk to other then Jaxson so she turned to Stacie. Kathryn walked over to Stacie's hut and knocked on the door. Stacie welcomed her friend in and listened to her problem. "Well it sounds like you should go and see Sarah." Said Stacie. "I don't know if I can. You know where she is, you know how to get there so what's holding you back? Fear I guess. Well Kat you have to overcome that fear no matter what it takes. Your right Stacie but over coming a fear is hard. I know it is but this is something you must do. And the sooner the better. Thank you Stacie you're a good friend." With that Kathryn walked out of the hut and headed for the café. A few hours later Kathryn was sitting in her hut thinking about what she must do about her current situation. She thought long and hard about it. All of a sudden Rhiannon entered Kathryn's hut with big news. "Kathryn, some of the C. K. S. N. are in trouble. We're moving out now." Kathryn didn't hesitate. She got up got her things and headed off with the others to save those C. K. S. N. members in heed of help. It wasn't to long until the team of Kathryn, Jaxson, Rhiannon, Nick, Albert, and Stacie were in River City in to help the C. K. S. N members being attacked. Sure enough Sarah and some other C. K. S. N. members were being attacked by swatbots. The team rode in on their hovercycles firing lasers at the bots on hovercycles and working their way toward the bots on the ground. "Stacie and Kathryn get Sarah and them out of here." Ordered Jaxson. With that Kathryn and Stacie swung around and grabbed the C. K. S. N. members and flew them to safety while the battle raged on. It wasn't long before Kathryn and Stacie rejoined the fight. "Are they alright?" Asked Jaxson. "Their okay." Replied Stacie. "Good let's finish these bots off and head back." The fight lasted a while it seemed like if one was destroyed two would replace it. "Jaxson we better book." Suggested Al. "Good idea, let's shake these bots and move out." The Freedom Fighters then led the bots on a chase through the streets eventually either loosing or destroying a few. They all then reunited at the original battle site and flew back in to the swamp. Back at home Jaxson saw Kathryn sitting on the steps of her hut with her head in her knees. Jaxson stood behind a hut with his cousin Donavan looking at her wanting to see if she needed any company. "What should we do Jax?" Asked Donavan. "I don't know Don. Why don't you go talk to her? Why me? You're her boyfriend. Yeah but she wont tell me any thing I tried but she might talk to you. Alright Jax I'll try. Thanks Don." With that Donavan walked over to Kathryn and sat next to her on the steps. "What's wrong Kat?" Asked Donavan. "Oh nothing, it's nothing. You look upset. You know what I do when I'm upset? No, what? Well I try to think of good thing and good times too help cheer me up. And if that doesn't work I just talk to someone." Kathryn looked up and smiled at the young jaguar. "Maybe that will work for me. So what's wrong? Well I haven't spoken with my mom since she was robotisized and the other night I had a dream in which I did meet her and we went on a mission together. But at the end of the dream she died. And today seeing her in trouble made me think about her some more and I'm feeling guilty that I haven't spoken with her in so many years." Donavan thought about that for a second and soon came up with a solution. "You should go meet her and make amends. Maybe your right Don, but I don't know if I can. It shouldn't be that hard you just go to her and I'm sure the words will come to you. Hey I'll even go with you if you need any help. Or just to make sure you do it. Thank you Donavan thanks for helping me. Don't mention it." With that Kathryn and Donavan were off to the headquarters of the Cyprus Knee Spy Network. It didn't take long to get there on a hovercycle. The two parked the cycle out side the entrance and stood there for a second. "Donavan, I can't do this. Sure you can Kathy, I know you can." Kathryn turned back around, took a deep breath and walked toward the entrance. She gave all the codes and went in to the main HQ of the Spy Network. Sarah was looking at some monitors when another member came up to her and told her they had visitors. Sarah turned and saw Kathryn and Donavan standing near the doorway. Sarah and Kathryn then started to slowly walk toward each other, Kathryn getting a hand from Donavan. Writers note it be best if the song "To Make You Feel My Love" was playing right now. Anyway back to the story. Kathryn and Sarah eventually made it to each other. They both stared at each other for a while. A silence filled the air, no words were exchanged. All the two could do was hug. Then right then and there Mother and Daughter were reunited after years of being apart. Both started to cry tears of joy over this reunion then suddenly Sarah spoke. "I love you Kitty-Kat." Kathryn then replied. "I love you too Mom." Jaxson was back at Cyprus Knee at his computer and through a video conference screen he saw the reunited pare and looked over at a picture of him and his mom he kept on his desk. He picked up the picture and looked out his window. And with a tear rolling down his cheek he said... "I know you're out there and I will find you." Back at the Spy Network headquarters Kathryn and her mom Sarah were discussing old times and talking about the future. So as you can tell emotion was running high. "Kathryn I'm extremely happy that you could come and see me." Said Sarah. "Well mom it wasn't easy. In fact if it weren't for Donavan here I would never have gotten it together enough to come. Well I'm happy you did. Maybe we can start again." Suggested Kathryn. "Maybe Kathryn but not until this war of ours is over when that happens there will be time to pickup where we left off oh so long ago. It seems that long doesn't it. Yes my dear it does. But I know our victory will not be that long." Just then Donavan interrupted the two. "Um I'm sorry to interrupted but maybe we should head back to the village it's getting late out. Yeah Don your right. I wish I didn't have to go. Don't worry dear; will see each other again soon." And with that the two were on their way back to Cyprus Knee. When the two got back Jaxson was there to greet them. "Kathryn I'm glad to have seen you getting back together with your mom. How did you know what happened?" Asked Kathryn surprised. "I saw you two on my computer through my video conference window. Donavan get some close together you and me are going on a mission. Why do I need to pack clothes? I'll tell you later okay. Okay." Donavan then ran back to the hut to pack his things. "Where do you plan on going?" Asked Kathryn. "I'm going to look for my mom. Are you sure she's alive? If not then I'll come back. I already told everyone else about this so Stacie will be ready to take over as soon as I leave." Kathryn and Jaxson then kissed and Jaxson went to help Donavan with his stuff. Kathryn just walked back to her hut and thought about the day and what all had happened. The next day Jaxson and Donavan were off to find Tonya Jaguar, Jaxson's mom. Jaxson gave one last kiss to Kathryn as him and Donavan jumped into a speedboat and headed up river to find Jaxson's mom. Kathryn had so much on her mind that she just decided to take the day off and relax in her hut. After all that she had been through she deserved a day off. She went back to her hut ran a nice warm bubble bath. She placed a microphone a little ways from the tub so as she could talk into her computer and have it write a message for her mom. The message said... Dear mom, I love you and always will. I'm glad that we have gotten back together after so long. I'll see you soon. Love your daughter Kitty-Kat THE END Well Kathryn got back together with her mom and Jaxson is going off to look for his mom. While he is away Stacie has control of the village, but the next fanfic will not be about her. It will be about Rhiannon and Nick, mostly about Rhiannon though, and will have an update on Jaxson's search. Till then I say C-ya.
