                                            Chapter One: New Assignment





[Petropolis, T.U.F.F. Headquarters]



The sun shined brightly over the Animal City of PETROPOLIS.
The city was just one of MANY cities in the part of the world where "Humanoid Animals" lived.

but, Petropolis was considered the Capital..mainly because it was where the Secret Agency known as T.U.F.F. (Turbo Undercover Fighting Force) was located.

they worked closely with BOTH the Animal and Human Government AND Police Departments. mainly ensuring the security of the world..for both Humans AND Animals.


Today, TUFF HQ was pretty busy.

well, they were ALWAYS busy, but TODAY...they were "Busier" than normal.




Inside the offices, many agents were at their desks doing their work.

Two agents in particular was KITTY KATSWELL and her Partner DUDLEY PUPPY..a Cat and a Dog.
Kitty was by far the BEST agent there is, while Dudley came as a "Close" Second.

The two had made "Agents of the Month" SEVERAL times already, and were mostly responsible for keeping Petropolis safe from many Villains and Criminals.


As Kitty reached for her cup of coffee...a voice rang out. "AGENTS PUPPY AND KATSWELL!! REPORT TO MY OFFICE, NOW!!!"


Kitty groaned. she new this was her Boss, "Chief Dumbrowski"
She got up and walked off. she was soon joined by her partner, Dudley. "HEY, KITTY!!! what do you think the chief wants??!"


"I don't know, dudley..."


"I hope it`s not about that one "Incident" I had a few days ago."


Kitty eyed the Dog. "What incident??"


"NOTHING!! N-Nothing at all..."


Kitty groaned. "whatever..."


The two walked into the office, where they were greeted by Keswick, the resident TUFF Scientist (whose species STILL remained a mystery)


"Greetings agents K-K-KATSwell and Agent Puppy." Said Keswick, who still stuttered


"Hi, Keswick." Said Kitty

"SO...WHERE'S THE CHI-


CRUNCH!!! "GAAHH!!!"


Dudley lifted up his foot to see a crushed flea..who was ALSO The Chief. "PUPPY, YOU BLITHERING IDIOT!!!" Exclaimed The Chief


"Sorry, Chief. It`s hard to notice you when your so small."


Dudley peeled The Chief off his Foot. the Old Flea soon recovered and hopped onto the large desk in the room.

a Camera attached to a mechanical arm soon appeared and focused on The Chief. a TV Monitor later appeared and displayed a "Zoomed In" Image of the Chief.


"Now...back to business. KESWICK, tell our Agents what we`ve got."


"Yes, C-C-CHIEF, Sir."


Another monitor appeared...and (apparently) show a picture of Keswick in diapers. "OOPS!! How did T-T-That get there."


Keswick pressed a button. The monitor then began to display random images.


"Now, HERE is the situation..we have reason to believe that DOOM is expanding it`s resources BEYOND just Petropolis."


"You mean...their spreading their "Evilness" to OTHER PLACES!!?" Exclaimed Dudley


"Uhhhh..YES, Agent Puppy."


"Where are they attacking??" Asked Kitty


"Apparently, Cities in the HUMAN Territories."


"Normally, this wouldn't raise any "Red Flags" for us. Humans are pretty "Tough Cookies."
 but, we just received Intel from the Human Government that DOOM made a move against one of their facilities."


"Let me guess: they tried to steal military secrets."


"Correct, Agent Kitty." Said The Chief


"But, as usual, they messed up. SO, after failing to obtain the files, they went right to the source."


Keswick pressed a button, showing a photograph of a Young, Human Couple.


"Doctors Donald and Barbara Maxwell. they are Genius Scientists who are in charge of the most CLASSIFIED Government Secrets.

 They also have P-P-PHOTOgraphic memories."


"Which means they memorized EVERY GOVERMENT SECRETS in their heads. from Top Secret Projects to Missile Launch Codes, their about as GOOD as a High-Tech Mainframe."


"And, you want us to protect them, right, chief??"


"Too Late for THAT, Katswell. after Doom`s last attack, their was an explosion at the military base."


"There were M-M-MULTIple casualties."


"And, unfortunately...The Maxwells were one of them."


Kitty and Dudley looked shocked.


"oh, my gosh..."

"WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Dudley (overdramatically), on his knees


"So..what is our mission, Chief?? go hunt down Snaptrap, his gang and arrest them."


"No...we`ve got a more important mission for you two."


Keswick pressed a button. which showed a picture of a Five Year Old Boy.


"P-P-PROTECTing Andy Maxwell."

"He`s the only son of the Late Maxwells. and, though we're NOT entirely sure, he may have knowledge of the same secrets his parents did."


Kitty looked shocked. "wait-wait-wait!! you want us..Highly Trained Secret Agents, to "babysit" some KID, instead of fighting Snaptrap!!?"


"No...I want you to protect a possible TARGET of D.O.O.M.!!
this "Kid" may very well be as valuable as a Computer Disk, SO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!!"


"Yes, sir." Said Kitty, who was CLEARLY not happy


The Chief continued.

"Anyway..the boy should arrive from the Human Government in a few days. I suggest you BE READY."


"Where is he suppose to stay at??, here at T.U.F.F.??!" Asked Dudley


"Absolutely NOT, this agency is TOO DANGEROUS for a kid!! no, he`s staying at Katswell`s house."


Kitty was now 'REALLY' upset. "MY HOUSE!!? But..Why MY House!!?, WHY CAN'T HE STAY WITH DUDLEY!??"


"Have you S-S-SEEN Agent Puppy`s house, Agent Katswell?? frankly, I'd feel safer leaving him with SNAPTRAP than in Agent Puppy's house." Said Keswick


Kitty groaned with frustration. "FINE. are we dismissed??"


"Yes, you are." Said The Chief


Kitty walked off, her arms slumped down and a glum look on her face.

Dudley, however..felt "differently" about this.


"AW, CHEER UP, KITTY!! It's like my mom ALWAYS SAYS: "There is no greater joy than taking care of a child."


Kitty growls. "speak for yourself."




[Two Days Later]


Kitty was once again, at her desk. only, THIS TIME..she was drinking "Extra Strength" coffee.


"HEY, KITTY!!!"


"GAAHH!!!" Kitty jumped up in shock, spilling her Coffee.


"Oooh...that looks HOT."


Kitty eyed him. "yes, dudley..it WAS."


"Well, ANYway. we should probably get over to the Chief's office."


"yeah..I guess so."


Kitty groaned as she stood up. she and Dudley walked towards the Chief`s Office.


Once inside, they approached the Desk. "Hi, Chief. so, where's the kid??"


"He should be here soon with Keswick."


at that moment, the door opened. Keswick walked in with a Brown Haired Five year old.


"I'm here with Andy, Chief."


The chief hopped off his desk and approached Andy (though, the camera was still on him.)


"Hello, son. how are you doing??" Said the Chief, in a RARE kind tone


Andy darted his eyed and twiddled his fingers.


"Uhh..o-okay, I g-guess." Said Andy, who stuttered a bit


"Well, don't worry, kid. you will be staying with us until this whole thing blows over."


Chief then turned.

"Now, these two are DUDLEY PUPPY and KITTY KATSWELL. they are my best agents, and they'll be looking after you for awhile.

 you will also be living at Kitty's house, so get used to having them around."


"oh. okay."


Andy approached Dudley and Kitty.


"HEY, THERE.." Said Dudley in a pleasant tone


Andy smiled weakly, then waved timidly. "hi.."


"So, what do ya' wanna do today?!"


"Not much, right now. I just want to take a nap..I'm tired."


"Fair enough. KATSWELL!!, take the kid to your house for a nap!!" Said The Chief


Kitty groaned as she rubbed her eyes "what do I look like, THE NANNY!!?"


"What??"


Kitty quickly put on a fake smile. "I said: AT ONCE, SIR..."


Kitty approached Andy. "Come on, you bra-I, uhh..mean, KID. let's go to MY HOUSE..my house that is full of expensive stuff that you could easily break."


Andy eyed the Cat, then looked at Dudley. "she's not a very nice lady."


Dudley shrugged. "She's not THAT Bad once you get use to her."


Kitty, Dudley and Andy walked out of the office.


"I'm not too S-S-Sure about this, chief."


"NONESENSE!! Maxwell is perfectly safe in their hands!!" Said The Chief


"I don't know..."




[Later, At Kitty's House]



The White Sports Car pulled up into the garage. Kitty opened the door, while Dudley just leaped out.


"Okay, kid....let`s go." Said Kitty, who opened the door


Andy got out of the car. "thanks."


"whatever..." Said Kitty, as she shut the door


Kitty approached a door and typed some codes into a Security Device.


"ACCESS ALLOWED." Said the Computer Voice


Kitty opened the door. she walked in, followed by Dudley and Andy.


"Cool place, eh Andy?!!" Said Dudley


Andy looked around at the living room. it was fairly large and filled with "Cat-Related" stuff.


"Wow..this room is even BIGGER than my old house."


"Really?? Where did you use to live??" Asked Dudley


"An apartment building in Queens, New York."


"cool."


Andy looked around. "So...where do I sleep??"


"There's a spare room down the hall. I WAS going to turn it into an Exercise Room, but the CHIEF had other plans." Said Kitty


Andy walked away, leaving Dudley and Kitty alone. Kitty just crossed her arms and eyed Dudley.


"What??"


"I still can't believe this is happening. I should be OUT THERE, working to capture Snaptrap!!, not babysitting some kid who may not know anything Top Secret AT ALL!!!"


Kitty crossed her arms and huffed. "this is a total waste of my talents..."


"Oh, COME ON, Kitty. it isn't THAT Bad!! hey, who knows!??..maybe this will turn out to be fun!!"


CRASH!!!!


Dudley and Kitty immediately rushed into the hall where they heard a Loud Crash. they stopped to see Andy looking at a destroyed Ming Vase.


"SORRY!!, All I did was turn, and my backpack knocked it down!!" Said a Panicked Andy


Kitty narrowed her eyed and groaned.


"Oh, don't worry about it, Andy!! I'm sure it isn`t THAT big of a deal!!"


"that was a PRICELESS Ming Vase." Said Kitty


"SEE!!, It was WORTHLESS!!!"


Kitty gritted her teeth and growled. she then turned and marched off.


"can`t believe I spent eight years of Secret Agent College for this!!" muttered Kitty


"Hey. where are you going??" Asked Dudley


Kitty turned and eyed her "Partner"


"To relieve some stress by shredding the furniture with my claws." Said Kitty, who extracted her claws


Kitty left. Dudley then looked at Andy.


"Don`t worry, she does that ALOT!! come to think of it..she`s done stuff like that ever since I started working with her."


Andy smiled, he then yawned. "Well...I`d better take my nap."


"OKAY!!, ANDY!!, Sleep tight, and don't let the Bed Bugs bite!!, AI-GEE-GEE!!!"


Dudley ran off. Andy then walked into the spare room.


He walked over and sat down on the bed. he then opened his Backpack and took some things out.

one of those things was a journal, and a framed Photograph of Himself and his parents.
he looked at the picture sadly, then placed it on a small table next to the bed.


Andy soon got tired. he laid on the bed, pulled up the covers and soon went to sleep.
