I hate the MBI. HATE HATE HATE them! I haven't written in awhile because I've had bad injuries from one of their agents BLOWING MY HOUSE UP!!!

Apparently someone was controlling me and a few others with mind control microchips. They mistook me for someone else too... I didn't get much out of anything and I haven't bothered to go back and find out. The TREATMENT they gave me! HORRIBLE!

Jason is no longer one of my top ten toms I want to date. He IS however on my top ten list of kats who should DIE. I don't know WHAT I saw in him! Those eyes, that hair, his music... no no Jenna! Stop thinking about how good he looks in leather pants! He isn't worth it! No tom is worth it... none of them... I need someone who is as brilliant as me! And well that leaves... no one sadly.

Alas... I am destined to be alone forever! No tom can match my intelligence! And look good in leather!

It was not the creator those months ago who tried to claim Nightshade and Enzo's son as his own. It was an imposter... another me that was created during the time I was with the creator for repairs when shot. That me has been taken care of and things were quiet again.

The creator however has returned. For real this time. He has not contacted me and I do not plan on contacting him. My main objective is to protect my husband Antonio, not to serve Dark Kat. The creator will just have to accept that and know that I will aid him if asked, but not if it is to put my Antonio in danger.

My Antonio's organization is back at 100% thanks to my assistance and the hard work his sons have put in. I intend on keeping it that way.

So far so good, our baby boy Ignatius (Iggy for short) was born back in March and he's healthy and strong. Nightshade's actually declined having a nanny as she would rather care for him herself. Plus there's the issue of trust with having someone else in our home.

I've been working more for my father along with Tony. Things are going well as we've built back up the Katpone mafia to as it was before a lot of crud went down in this crazy city. Dad seems to be doing well with that artificial heart implant and I believe he is considering replacing more of his parts in the future with Clawson doing the work again.

Things have been quiet and that's good for business.

Dark Kat is indeed still alive. Sources in the Enforcers and media leaks have confirmed it. I'm going to find him and speak with him. McGrath thinks that whatever I say won't mean much, and it probably won't. But that isn't the only reason I'm out to find him... he's doing to die and his empire is going to be mine again.

I've gotten rid of Maven and his son Eddie. They were too much of a distraction. I believe that's part in my failures with Dark Kat's empire before. I can't trust anyone. I can't get close to anyone. I may not even return after I'm done with Dark Kat and I don't need kats waiting for me. Maven is still available for hits but that's all I will be contacting him for. Having kats that I have some feeling for is a weakness, one that can be easily exploited.

After stealing some information from the MBI via McGrath's laptop computer, I'm still not able to find his location. McGrath predicts that he'll be showing himself soon enough with a major scheme like the other two failed ones. I'll find him then. Keep an eye on the MBI in the meantime.

Dark Kat will pay for abandoning me...

LOL just something silly to try and get me started working on these character LJs again. Valentine's Meme!

Things haven't improved since I last wrote. I've been gathering information however as I bide my time. A few things of interest I've learned:

- The NSA is no more. The government has ended its funding and employees have either been arrested, arrested then released, killed or just plain dismissed. I suppose that's why McGrath is hanging around the MBI, why he claims he didn't help my sister in gaining control of the family empire. Means one less organization to deal with.

- MBI has gained the NSA's funding. Some of this was in the papers when I escaped Alkatraz.

- Someone's out to kill the Katpones. Of course this isn't news really, as they have many enemies. However someone's not playing by the rules I hear as rumors of someone trying to blow up Antonio and Enzo have been circulating.

- A jewel thief has taken two ancient pieces of jewelry from the Megakat Museum. Thing is these items are said to have magic powers. Makes me curious to who's behind this. Isn't me as I haven't had to do petty theft in years.

For now I'm just keeping an ear open in the underground, biding my time until my sister slips up.

So... my plans have failed. Spinner is nowhere to be found, not like I could find him anyway, he always came to me. My forces are gone, my empire has been locked from me and what I can find has been abandoned or remains abandoned as it was when I first gained control of it. I've had to retreat in failure.

Fortunately I have Maven for support. I am surprised he too hasn't up and left me, given that I'm pretty much powerless. A shame... I had hopes for Eddie to grow up and carry things on for me, for my late father. I've laid low since my early parole. Heh, some stupid fat bureaucrat released me from Alkatraz, or rather arranged for a moment of distraction for me to escape.

Jim Birman, Secretary of Defense. Some kats would've felt honored to meet someone of high stature. Not me. He came to me wanting information which I let him know I'd rather rot in prison than give him. So he asked for me to do something for him instead for my freedom. Kill McGrath. While it is tempting, I'm not going to do it. If I want someone dead, it will because *I* will it. Besides, it isn't like McGrath is some easy target. I even confronted him about it. As much as I dislike him... I dunno... he actually said he was sorry he'd abandoned me all that time. Told me Spinner was going to have me offed in the end. I believe him. So unless he does something to interfere in my business, I'll leave him alone.

He claims he didn't give that traitorous sister of mine control over my empire. That I am not sure I believe or not. After all, she was a contingency, someone who he and the NSA would have moved in to take my place. One thing for sure is I will NOT allow her to keep our father's empire. It rightfully belongs to me. If she thought me being in Alkatraz was a means for her to take over, she's sadly mistaken.

I'm going to try one last time to go to the teleportation station in hopes it will work again and take me to the main lair in Switzerland. It too has been shut off, or perhaps the teleport area moved. Nightshade's had enough time to do that. I will not rest until I have what is mine back.

It appears that the creator was not deceased. He had taken Nightshade out of mine and Antonio's home recently by his creeplings. She later returned unharmed and informed us that the creator wishes to have her and Enzo's offspring.

I find this perplexing. Why would the creator wish to have a kitten with him? My records show that he abandoned his two daughters. Even though technically it was his former wife who hid them, he was able to locate them but did not reclaim them.

I have not been recalled back to him. In fact all the other cyberdemons have seemed to go offline shortly after the creator's death. I still cannot contact any of them. What is alarming is I believe that the creator has duplicated me or given another cyberdemon my appearance.

Someone attacked Antonio and Enzo by throwing an explosive into the office where they were sitting. Thankfully Enzo threw it back out before it exploded. I scanned the cameras and the footage and pulled up an image of the perpetrator. They looked like me. Why would the creator do such a thing? While my number one priority is the protection of my husband Antonio, I would still aid the creator should he ask of me if it did not mean the deletion of my Antonio.

I cannot locate the creator. He is not found at any of the lairs I have within my database. If he is the one who has attacked, I must insist that he do not harm Antonio. If he wishes to delete Enzo or the others, that is not my concern. While they are Antonio's family, they matter little compared to Antonio.

Apparently Dark Kat is alive still. While this screws up the plan of Nightshade inheriting his empire, there's more to concern ourselves with than that. That freak dared to threaten my Belladonna, saying that when our kitt is born, he's going to take it and raise it. Like heck he is! He has no rights to our kitten. He abandoned Nightshade so why does he think he can have her child? We're going to be heightening security the closer it gets but I'm not sure if it will be enough.

Someone tried to kill dad the other night. Or perhaps it was me they were after. Dad was in the middle of telling me that he plans on retiring, letting me and Tony handle most things... well and Lina too. I was surprised to hear this but we didn't get to talk on it for too long when this bomb got thrown in through the window to dad's office. I moved quickly grabbing it up and threw it back outside before the fuse was gone. It destroyed that wall to dad's house but that can be repaired.

By the time we looked out whoever it was was gone. Lina zapped in immediately and scanned the area or what not. Dad and I started gathering up the paperwork to hide and all but Lina was all "Enzo will take you to safety" and... dad just stopped right there and agreed and we went down to the panic room. He must be head over heels for her to listen to a dame like that and let her boss him around. Later Lina said the perp looked like her and she went to deal with the law that showed up. Good thing she can transport us through the electric wires, she was able to get us out and to the road further down so I took dad to my place for the time being. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Dark Kat's doing.

So now we're on full alert and Lina's trying to locate Dark Kat but hasn't been able to. When she's not doing that she's staying close to dad for protection. Dark Kat wants me gone, fine. He can quit being such a coward and fight me tom to tom. None of this assassination crud. One thing for sure is he will NOT get our kitten.

Dad had a family meeting for the first time since everything's gone down. Nightshade and I hightailed it out of Megakat as soon as we were able once things started being repaired. There's still a strong military presence as power is restored, construction taking place, things sorted out. Tony and that woman of his Clarice with her brat Melody made it out alright as well and they all with us met up at dad's.

We briefly discussed what was going on when it was mentioned of Nightshade's stomach being uneasy as of late. Cyrillic offered to merge with her since don't know when we can safely go in and out of Megakat for a doctor. She found the source of the issue... my Belladonna is pregnant.

While we were trying before all the chaos, I figured it'd be best if we waited until everything was sorted out. However... when you're bored and waiting and there's no power or anything and all you're doing is sitting around at stupid MBI HQ... things happen. Nightshade's concerned as am I but I figure the city will be fully operational when the kiddo's born. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I hope it'll be a boy. I'd like to have a son to raise up as my father had me. Give him the Katpone name to carry on another generation. Dad gave me the card of who our mother saw when she had Tony and I. I hope he's still in practice.

Hmm... wonder what Nightshade thinks of the name Ignatius...

McGrath is dead and there's a guy already more than willing to take his place. However this guy is more untrustworthy than McGrath yet is more in line with what I want to accomplish. Jack Spinner. I had thought he was dead, or he was according to my late father's data on him. Spinner had worked with my father in the past and my father obviously didn't gain what he wanted.

Spinner brought me a plan of city-wide domination. Wants me to "play on his team". I don't think he's in his former position with the NSA either. That's not so bad though as he still seems to have the same resources. Also with him, I don't have to "play nice" with the stupid Enforcers and MBI. I like that.

As for the plan, it just may very well work. He's gotten part of it down already with a city wide quarantine. Now it is my turn to break off all connections into the city by blowing up bridges that lead in and out. Before I can do that, I need to get enough supplies for the citizens to last. Why should I care right? I don't, but it will help me look good in their eyes in the near future with the failures of City Hall. I've almost gotten everything needed. Soon as I do, those bridges are going down and the city will be on its way to becoming mine.

Maven worries there's a catch with Spinner's assistance. I expect there to be one. Depending on what it is, we'll see how long I can continue to be a "team player" with him.

I love this emotion of happiness that has come with being Antonio Katpone's wife. Mrs. Lina Katpone, that is my nomenclature now. I have decided that Cyrillic is my alias. Cyrillic is a name of the past. My creator gave me that name but as he is no longer living, I do not need to keep it any longer. Antonio says that I am a biological kat to him and that Lina is more fitting of a name.

There is no greater emotion than love. I have come to that conclusion after being with Antonio. I do not wish to ever lose this feeling so I will make certain to protect him every chance, every moment. He will never fully leave my sight. I am unsure of how, but I want to make sure he lives as long as I.

Speaking of, I hear Antonio calling for me to join him in the living room so that is it for this data entry.

Dad and Lina are now officially married. We're all staying for a week here in Italy, staying at my family's estate. It's a nice vacation for us all, and I'm enjoying lounging around and showing Nightshade the city. Doing a lot of driving to see the sites and having a good time. Avoiding staying at the estate so Dad and Lina can have their privacy and quiet time together. Tony's been his usual lady killer self and I imagine he'll sleep most of the day through and be out at night.

I suppose I'm really okay with who Dad chose to marry. It is still strange to think how a being capable of such knowledge still doesn't know a lot about how things work, as she reminds me every so often with her questioning of the simplest of traditions or sayings. Dunno if mom would approve of her or not, but since Lina's so loyal I guess she would.

Being here makes me miss my mother. There are a lot of good memories here in this home. I miss my grandfather too as this was his home originally. I'm glad we've kept this home, despite both grandfather and dad's business and real residence being in Chikatgo and now Megakat. I intend to keep this place as well, as I'm sure Tony wants to as well. Pass it on to mine and Nightshade's children.

Speaking of, soon as we get back, I'm having a procedure reversed. Nightshade and I talked awhile our first night here and I told her of this, letting her know that I'm alright with us trying for a kitten now. We're married, things have calmed down, I think now's as good of a time as any. I want us to have a better ceremony soon for our own wedding, as the one in Kat Vegas with Trina and Joey Forge wasn't what I wanted, what Nightshade deserved. She wants to do it in April and we've set a date. We'll have more of the family over than dad did, and we'll arrange to fly in Nightshade's father too (her adoptive father that is of course). Dad didn't have a problem with us marrying here too, so why not?

Jasey-poo has lost his mind. I'm very convinced of this. Perhaps I should be sympathetic to his situation what with his sister going batty but he is oh so sneaky! Sneaky sneaky! First he sends agents from the MBI with a judicial writ claiming that I went and destroyed their stupid building and hurt their agents. What a joke! I've kept my distance from there, part of the deal made with Jasey-nips and that stupid mean Joe Forge. Yet here the agents were at my doorstep claiming to have evidence or whatever. I paniced and slammed the door on their faces to avoid arrest and called Jasey-love up. He told me they'd straighten it out and so I went with them.

I was so so ignorant by not realizing why the one guy stayed behind. He totally invaded my privacy! Managed to break into my basement workshop and found the guns I was nearly finished completing for Katpone's next shipment. Thankfully they can't trace where they were going and I'm not telling. I lied saying those weapons were going to be sold to the military, but then Jasey-head and dumb dumb Forge were all "you need permits and commissions to even do that, that's illegal! blah blah BLAH!" I swear it was all a set up just so they could search my home but what tipped them off? I didn't attack their stupid Bureau!! Thankfully I've had enough sense to hide my more important and more... incriminating work elsewhere. I might make mistakes but very few because I am a genius after all!

Anyways... I begged and pleaded with them to not arrest me, and Jasey-sweets and poo head Forge said that if I examine some blood from a kat who apparently is infected with nano-bots, then maybe they'll let me off the hook. It seems Trina and someone else went nutso and ran off screaming into the night or whatever, and it is these nano bots they are being controlled by. I've only just begun to look at them through the sample. I need better equipment which I guess they're getting I don't know. SO annoying I swear. I'm taking a break now anyway to write in this so I better get back to work. I wonder if Jasey-darling would take me out to lunch today... hee!

I can't believe it... but I'm finally free. Free of the bondage of my demonichood, free from the restraints of mortality which was leading to an untimely and hastened death...

But I'm more than that now, I'm... an angel. Jason McGrath actually heard my plea for help and arranged for myself with the company of Elizabeth Selkirk to travel off to Shangri-Klaw and be healed. I only thought they would allow me to have a normal mortal lifespan but this... I guess this is better. The ancient city has been long since gone. I was unaware of this as demons are too impure to go there. That's part of why I needed Elizabeth to travel with. After the journey which was a bit perilous, we arrived at the ruins of the once great paradise and found the magics there which changed me.

I'm not sure what to do with myself. By ancient law I am still forbidden to enter Heaven as I was once a demon, but from what I can tell I am an angel. Judging by my powers and remembering my laws correctly, most likely I am guardian angel status. One who was born mortal and given the opportunity to serve katkind for the greater good. While this is an opportunity, it is the only choice in the matter I had I suppose.

I do feel much different... Jason was right in that I was afraid to care. What led me to my demonichood was unrequited love and the cruelty of my peers. There is no love shown in the Realm of Fire either, and mortals don't take too kindly to demons. I still feel alone... I always have and not wanted to admit it, but now I want to do something about it, something that doesn't require harming others. Here's a sort of list I've made to begin this new path I feel I must take:

1. Speak to Rupert Furdoch.
While the adoration of many kats worldwide was nice, it never really was enough. It isn't want I want anymore anyway. I know I am under contract with him, but it must be broken as I no longer am what he wants for his media mistress.

2. Speak to Jason McGrath.
I must thank him and offer any help I can now or in the future as repayment for his help. While part of me still isn't sure of trusting him, he has had opportunity time and again to destroy me yet he did not so... that says a lot about a kat.

3. Make amends to the MBI.
There are several there who I must apologize to and offer my help or at least give some sort of compensation to for all I've done, in particular Elizabeth Selkirk and Joseph Forge. Perhaps those of the Bureau can be my charges, as they certainly do need help.

4. Find and visit the grave site of my father.
He was the only one throughout time who cared for me. He tried to stop the others from executing me but they did not hear his pleas and held him back. I believe I disappointed him most of all than any other and I need to come to terms with my actions.

As if things for me weren't chaotic enough what with dealing with Turmoil, Dr. Viper, the MBI, and all my father's other enemies, along comes another 'surprise'. From Maven of course. At least this one isn't a means to kill or betray me. I believe Maven and I have moved past all of that. Still not marrying so our engagement will be a long one. Thing is we're going to be a family more than I thought.

Maven has a son. It wasn't something he neglected to tell me either, as he himself didn't know until recently. It was by that Carrie she-kat to which I finally learned more about from him. His name is Edric Bombay, and when Carrie had died, his stepfather (who Carrie had lied to saying he was his for years until she informed him otherwise) deposited the poor kid at, of all places, Southpaw Orphanage. Maven got a letter which Carrie had sent as part of her will, informing Maven of Edric. The paperwork has been finalized and Maven has custody of Edric now.

This complicates matters a bit, but perhaps it will all work out. I kinda like the brat. He reminds me of myself in someways, and I guess I felt a bit sorry for him. I know what it's like to have no one wanting you, to live in that awful orphanage as that's where my sister and I were taken. Guess I've got a bit of a soft spot, but I agreed to let Edric stay 'round. He is Maven's son after all, how could I say no? He's 13 years old so is pretty self sufficient. Told Maven that I ain't havin' any kittens, sorry. I hate kids. I hated kids when I was a kid. I'll put up with Edric though.

Maven and I debated on telling Eddie about what we really do, about my father's organization and all. Thing was the brat overheard us and so we were forced to discuss it with him. I think he'll keep everything quiet. Seems to be a bit of a loner anyway he does. He's actually interested in it, impressed even. Who knows, maybe he'll turn out to be an asset. I can train him up to use guns, blades and other things so that by the time he's 18, he'll be ready to handle important business for me. I wonder if Pops would've done that with me and Nightshade should mom have stayed with him. If he would've trained us up. Kinda wish he had oftentimes because sometimes I still find myself feeling overwhelmed. The normalcy of this little 'family' of mine helps in that, helps me to take a break.

This won't change personal plans of mine however. I'm really fed up with my father's enemies and my own both coming after me and my empire. Something needs to be done on a grand scale... Megakat City needs to suffer. I had planned on outright nuking it, but one of the few allies I have Bandit has convinced me that spreading a virus would be less of a waste. Plus watching the city writhe in pain before its complete death would be more satisfying than a quick end. Plans for the virus are slowly getting underway, and I'm going to keep it secret from everyone, even Maven, until it is time. I cannot afford to have sabotage after all. Time to make a name for myself, and prove just how powerful I am.

And not just because it was Valentine's Day, though that was part of it. I've always been against tattooing up my fur. Tattoos just look so ridiculous on most kats. But... then along came my Belladonna Nightshade. Even when I first met her that day, all pierced and with a couple of tattoos I thought she looked like some punk girl without a thought in her mind. Boy was I mistaken, and a year later she's proven to be a most intelligent levelheaded she-kat. I'm glad she doesn't wear her piercings as much but I've actually come to like her tattoos.

As a gift to her and something to have as we decided not to wear wedding rings for awhile, trying to keep our marriage quiet for a long while so rivals don't learn of it and try to use it against us, I got a tattoo. She had gotten one shortly after our marriage with my first name done real nice on her thigh below her left hip. Discreet but something she could show if she chose. So I returned the favor and got her first name Nightshade tattooed on the same place on myself. She laughed a bit, surprised I'd done such a thing but was touched and knows that I am that devoted to her. Ink is permanent after all, though on fur you have to do touch ups after some years sometimes if you've got longer fur. She thought she had only gotten dozens of bouquets of flowers and some favorite chocolates from me that I had delivered to our house earlier in the day via some of our men and probably thought I was being cheesy. I do love to go all out sometimes when it is worth it, and she's worth it.

We've influenced one another over the past year I believe. I've calmed her in some ways and in some ways she's made me a more bold tom. I like how we work. Though she did surprise me a couple months or so ago when she brought up the subject of kittens. Perhaps it's a she-kat thing, get married and you start wanting them, I don't know, but we talked about it and right now it's best to wait. Get to know one another still and settle things with dad's organization and gaining her her father's. Besides, I uh... need to have a procedure reversed first before we can begin trying for them anyway. I did talk to dad though about it, about how the heck he and mom managed to have and raise Tony and I while keeping up with a criminal organization. Heh, I was an accident pretty much, unplanned early in their marriage. They just dealt with it and moved on, then had Tony, another unplanned accident, and raised us both. I'd say we turned out well enough. Mom wasn't as involved in the family business like Nightshade is, so it was easier for her to stay home and take care of Tony and I. When the time's right, we'll know it, and we'll start our own family. Not sure if Nightshade will want to step back a bit from her duties but I'd prefer her to. Kittens should be with their mothers not nannies all the time. It's not like she won't be able to do anything else. We'll still enjoy one another and do things like always.

I don't even know where to begin on it all. All I know is is I'm tired of everyone trying to take my empire away from me. And I'm tired of sneezing and coughing from this stupid cold I got from trapsing through the snow. I seriously need to relocate this lair someplace else... especially since many are learning of its existence...

Ugh... I need to get Maven to make me more of that honey tea and lay down again.
