Episode 1: Where It All Began

In the city of Orrville, the evil scientist, Dr. Dee Horner was experimenting on her latest potion. It contained every superpower known to man.

"With this potion," she said. "I'll conquer the world and be invincible!"

She called her henchmen, the Bark Bikers, who were dogs that she had increased the intelligence of and taught how to ride motorcycles.

"We must take this potion, and I shall test it out," she explained.

"Yes, ma'am," the Bark Bikers said.

Little did the doctor know she was about to run into 4 kittens that would be her archnemeses.

At that moment, 15-year-old April Winslow was walking down the street when she came across an abandoned box of kittens.

"Ooh, how cute," she said, kneeling down to pet them. "I bet you don't have homes."

Just then, Dr. Horner was taking her potion to field test it when she bumped into April.

"Watch where you're going, kid!" She said not too kindly.

She didn't notice she had dropped her potion on the street. The kittens started lapping it up, and that's when something strange happened.

"That was weird," one of them said.

"It tasted awful," another said.

"Remind me not to drink that milk again," a third said.

"Wait a minute," the last one said. "We can talk!"

"My potion!" Dr. Horner cried.
Jane didn't know who the lady was, but given how rude she'd been, Jane decided to grab the kittens, and just run. There was something about the woman that seemed very wrong. After all, as her father had said, "Sometimes the only thing we can do in a difficult situation is to trust your gut, especially if it feels worse than whenever you try too many tacos - don't confuse the two though."

At the moment, Jane's gut was telling her to run.
Without saying a word, April scooped up the kittens and made a run for it.

"Bark Bikers, sic 'em!" Dr. Horner ordered.

As April was about to make a clean escape, the Bark Bikers rode their motorcycles in her path, blocking her way.

"Where do you think you're going?" Alpha, the blubbery bulldog leader, said.

"You don't scare us," the orange kitten said.

He and his fellow kittens jumped out of April's arms and arched their backs.

A big battle was about to break out. The orange kitten zoomed around some of the Bark Bikers, creating a whirlwind that lifted their motorcycles into the wind. It did subside when they were 5 feet in the air.

The largest kitten, who happened to be a serious eater, flipped Alpha's motorcycle into the air. He held it in his paw and tossed it at Dr. Horner.

The black female kitten suddenly turned invisible and snuck up behind a Great Dane, one Omega by name. She gave him a mighty smack, knocking him out.

The white female kitten stretched her torso to great lengths and used it to tie the Bark Bikers up. She then slung them into Dr. Horner, knocking her off her feet.

April couldn't believe what she had just seen. Could these kittens be aliens? They were in the box when she found them.

"Step aside," she heard a voice say.

She looked up to see a police officer rushing past her and handcuffing Dr. Horner.

"Are you alright, April?" She heard the chief of police say.

He was her grandfather. Despite his old age, he was very muscular. The top buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned, showing the top of his hairy chest.

"I'm alright, Grandpa," she said. "These kittens fought off those dogs. I don't know what happened, but they looked like they had superpowers."
That was when April noticed her grandfather's shirt. "Um, did grandma get some sort of new detergent?"

The old man rolled his eyes. "Yeah - shrunk everything by like half a size. I'm lucky that I could find a shirt that I could wear without ripping it, same with the pants."
April looked over at Dr. Horner, who was being arrested.

"Grandpa," she said. "Who is she?"

"She's Dr. Dee Horner," he said. "She's a mad scientist. So, you say these kittens fought off the Bark Bikers?"

April was puzzled.

"They're bikers that are loyal to her," he continued. "They'll be sent to the kennel as well."

"What about the kittens?" April asked.

Her grandfather shrugged.

"I'm sure your parents wouldn't mind you keeping them," he said.
"Okay," said April.
In no time at all, April's parents arrived at the scene.

"April, are you alright?" Her father said.

April explained everything to them and told them about the kittens.

"They look so cute," said her mother. "I'm sure they'll be happy with us at home."

"Then it's settled," her grandpa said. "But first, Dr. Horner is off to jail while her henchdogs, the Bark Bikers, are off to the pound!"

"Now to think of names for the kittens," April said.
"Helps if you know if they are boys or girls," said Grandfather. "At least, that's how it was back in my day."
When the Winslow family got home, the first thing April did was bring the kittens to her room.

She began to sort out which kittens were boys and which ones were girls. She could have sworn they talked before.

"Come on," she said anxiously. "Say something."

"Have you got anything to eat?" The chubby one said in a male voice.

"Okay," April said. "I'll call you Rolly. You must really like to eat. One down, three to go."

"I like it!" Rolly said as April tickled his tummy.

"Me too," said the white kitten in a female voice, playing with him. She was wearing a headband and leg warmers on each leg.

"If I look closely," April said. "I can see Stripes in your fur. You shall be called Stripes. Two down, two to go."

The orange kitten started to style its the tuft of fur on its head like a mohawk.

"Purr-fect!" It said in a male voice.

"You look tough," April said. "So your name is Rocky. One more kitten to name."

She turned to the black kitten who was slipping a pair of headphones around its neck.

"You're my favorite!" It said in a female voice.

"Since you're black," April said. "I'll call you Shadow."
"I never understood why cute things got terrifying names, and terrifying things got cute names," said Grandfather, as he listened from outside the door. "I mean, I had this sweet Pitbull named Lulu - very friendly, unless you were the dumb fool that tried to break into the place - that fool's scream sure did wake my father up - found that fool up in the maple tree, with Lulu at the bottom, the seat of his pants in her mouth. Father gave her a nice steak the next day for that."
"So, what now?" April asked "I bet your four are hungry."

"Yeah!" Rolly said excitedly, while the others just nodded.

"What do you want? I think we still have a whole jug of milk in the fridge."

The kittens shook their heads. "We're too old for milk." Said Shadow "Come to think of it, I'm hungry for something, I just don't know what." The others nodded in agreement. For the next hour, April dug through the pantry and cabinets, looking for anything a cat could eat. But the four kittens rejected all of her suggestions. "I don't understand it." She said "Just what do you feed super powered cats, anyway?"
Before anyone could say anything, they heard a loud cry outside.

"Help! Somebody save me!"

April and the kittens rushed to the window and saw a woman hanging out a window of a skyscraper.

Quick to the punch, the kittens had gotten changed into supersuits and sprung into action.

"I'd better follow them," April told herself.

She made a dash out of the house after them.

When April arrived at the scene, Stripes had stretched into a slingshot with Rocky, Rolly, and Shadow hopping in.

ZIP!

The three kittens were flung into the air as the woman fell from the window. Shadow had turned invisible with Rolly tossing her and Rocky to catch her. Shadow landed on the ground before becoming visible again. Rolly landed next to them with Rocky landing in front of them.

"These cats always land on their paws," he said, turning to the woman.

At first, she was scared, but upon seeing they saved her, she scooped them up and cuddled them.

"Thank you," she said.

"Excuse me," April said. "They're my cats."

In no time at all, a crowd of citizens gathered, and the news media arrived to cover the story.

"And who do we have to thank for this rescue?" Jillian Cameron, the local reporter, asked.

April had to think fast.

"Thank the Hypercats!" She said.

"With the speed of a cheetah!" Rocky announced.

"With the strength of a lion!" Rolly announced.

"With the stealth of a jaguar!" Shadow announced.

"With the agility of a tiger!" Stripes announced.

"We roar!" The kittens all said.

Meanwhile, in prison, Dr. Horner wasn't very happy. She was reading the newspaper advertising the Hypercats' first act of heroism until she flew into a rage.

"Those should have been my superpowers!" She roared. "I'll have to escape prison, bust the Bark Bikers out of the pound, and get my revenge!"
Little did Dr. Horner know, there's always a security camera watching, and a microphone listening.
The next thing Dr. Horner knew, she was transferred to maximum security in a straight jacket, in solitary confinement. She simply sat in the center of her padded cell, cursing loudly inside her mind as she tried to think of a way to escape.
Too bad the guards overlooked a hidden pocket in her lab coat that carried a chemical ball filled with a mixture she whipped up the day before. Upon opening it within her straight jacket, she converted herself to gaseous form, allowing her to slip out of the straight jacket and sneak out of solitary confinement without being seen.

Once outside the prison, she managed to reach the dog pound where the Bark Bikers were being held. Using her chemistry skills, she took out the searchlights outside, incapacitated the guards, and broke the Bark Bikers and every dog in the pound out.

Upon being them back to her secret lair, she enhanced the new recruits' intelligence and put together a plan to get her revenge on the Hypercats.

"Attention, everyone!" She announced. "I'm sending the Hypercats' owner a cat house. When the clock strikes midnight, it'll transfer their powers to me. I'll be in the Fusion Chamber over there. Once their powers are drained, push the red button, and I'll take them. Then, I'll be invincible!"

"How does this all work?" Omega asked.

"I'd figured you'd say that," Dr. Horner said.

She held up a flip book demonstrating the plan and flipped through it to give Omega a good idea on how it would work.

"But, Doctor," Omega said. "We don't know where they live."

"Then, get some information on that," Dr. Horner instructed. "Track down the girl, get some information on who she is and where she lives and report back to me or else!"
The police chief picked up the phone when it rang. He listened. "So, let me get this straight - she broke out of prison, and took back her dogs, plus many more? Hopefully the other dogs won't be much trouble."
Meanwhile, April and the cats were in the backyard, testing what other powers the kittens had. She was tossing targets into the air, and the cats took turns zapping them with their laser vision. Rolly accidentally missed one, and the laser beams flew off into space. "I hope that doesn't hit anything important." April said. Just outside the Earth's atmosphere, the two beams struck a communications satellite, causing it to explode. As a result. millions suddenly found themselves without phone service.
April understood that these kittens had a superpower. They could make the impossible possible. So she decided to take care of them. They can bring Revolution if they are handled properly. At the same time, they can misused wrongly, if they are in the control of a meanminded person.
Therefore, April decided to keep them in her secret farm house. She will use them in her next venture for the development of our lifestyle.
Luckily, the secret farmhouse was a place in a barn that belonged to a family friend: Jack O'Hara. The most polite way April described him was that he looked like Santa Claus as a farmer. She would always come to his farm after a bad day at school.

"Hey, April," he said, hitching up his overalls. "What can I do for you?"

"Do you have the keys to your barn?" April asked.

Jack began to search his overalls for his barn keys until he reached into one pocket and pulled them out. He tossed them to her, and she unlocked the barn door so she and the kittens could enter. Little did they know that the Bark Bikers were watching them from a distance, waiting to get information on her name and address.
"So, new kittens?" Jack asked.
"Yep." April said, trying to be as nonchalant as possible.

"Where did you get them?"

"It's a long story. Let's just say there was a sort of "happy accident" shortly after I adopted them."

April and the kittens then started setting up in an abandoned corner of the barn for their headquarters. When they were done, she thanked Jack for letting her in.

While they were headed home, they didn't notice that the Bark Bikers were following them from a distance.

"What's taking so long?" Dr. Horner demanded impatiently.

"We're working on it!" Beta, a female Husky whispered fiercely so as not to let April and the kittens know they were being followed.

"Well, hurry it up!" Dr. Horner snapped.

The Bark Bikers secretly slipped a bug into April's house before she or any of her relatives could come home.

Over the next few days, they were getting all the information they needed and soon, it was time to report back to Dr. Horner.
"So, how's everyone feeling?" April asked, as she looked the kittens over.
