Kittyhawk sighed. It was not in his normal plans to visit the Streets. He always endeavored to avoid the Streets, if possible. All the Streets did was distract him from work. That was what Kittyhawk was all about. Work. He worked from dawn to dusk and then worked some more. Every single Crew Leader he had worked with sang praises about the unrelenting work ethic that he possessed. Besides, the Streets had a reputation for being the 'hang out' of trolls. Ugh, such disgusting people. They paid no heed to the world, their work and simply made crude jokes about each other. How pathetic.

He decided to come out of his reverie and cleared his throat.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the four cities!

Someone hidden in the shadows tapped him on the shoulder and whispered something to him.

Oh, it's six now? Seriously? Wow. Oh, I'm moving to one of the newer ones? OHWOW.

He cleared his throat again.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Beasts of all shapes and sizes, GOATs of different designations,Creatures great and Small! and....Mako. Hello! As most of you are undoubtedly aware, Godfather JohnnyNoName, also known as some GOAT or the other, announced a competition of sorts for the posession of Paradise, Las Vegas. 

I immediately jumped at this chance to build something from a deserted district with nothing but the sweat from my brow and the strength of my back! After all, I am not called the perfect workaholic for nothing.

Kittyhawk's eyes went misty again as he recollected his past. He had started out working for the man who the great scholar Y had called 'the worst CL to ever grace these shores', DanTheMan. Kittyhawk could not help but agree with such a succinct analysis of the Godfather of Manhattan. Kittyhawk had worked day and night to further Dan's goals. He had stayed awake on countless nights. He even gave up flying around with his little kitty wings so that Dan could take Godfather. What happened when he did? He ignored Kittyhawk completely. A move that destroyed our little Kitty. Dan chose beacons of happiness and kindness over the hard working kitten.

He had be relegated to the then underboss of Manhattan, a slightly(read:insanely) retarded bear who saw rainbows everywhere. Anybody with half a brain could see that the true power there lay within the Bird. Agent Bird.

Kittyhawk was initially disappointed and destroyed but he soon returned to his workaholic ways. He worked behind the scenes, unrelentingly to elevate Don Jeddy to the position of Godfather Bearhand. He managed to do it, almost single handedly. Now, he thought. Now, he could bask in the light  of his accomplishments. Now, he could sit back and relax. 

Sadly, that was not the case. For a workaholic as intense as Kittyhawk, sitting still was not something that came easy. He needed a new challenge. A new mountain to climb. This was it. This would be his magnum opus. This would be the greatest masterpiece of work that the flying Kitten would do.

He continued with his speech after this brief moment of recollection.

I do sincerely look forward to working with my fellow Crew Leaders. From my communication with them, I know that they are as committed as I am to building a strong future for this glorious district.

I have decided that I will be taking a name that rings with originality! A name that has never been thought of! A name, so radically new that the world will be amazed.

So....without further ado....I INTRODUCE TO YOU:

THE MOUNTAIN KITTENS!

As he heard the gasps from the audience, he knew it was well-received. He coughed again and walked away. Hoping that he would finally be able to return to his work. Making money.

*Tips his hat to the second best hawk.*

"Well said Kitty, with some hard work and practice maybe you can catch up"

I know you will do well on the mountain, you cuddly Kitty!

I can already see you climbing the tallest mountain to get that pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow!

Having received word of some exciting news while she was in Las Vegas, Rose anxiously glanced out the window as the car slowly maneuvered through traffic.  She was absolutely proud of her dear friend, venturing out on his own.  He is one of her favorite workaholics, and always making her laugh.  Finally arriving in Paradise, Las Vegas, Rose smiles softly thinking about a kitten in Paradise, and then a more dangerous thought of a wild cat in Sin City.  Oh No!!

Glad she had not missed the speech, Rose stood closer to the back of the crowd as Kittyhawk spoke with  enthusiasm about moving to a new city.  Naming off quite a few people who he had worked for and with, she has always thought he had a way at captivating an audience.  "The Mountain Kittens" was indeed original.  As he wrapped up his speech, she saw the urgency in his behavior, and she recognized his workaholic symptoms.  

Rose makes her way up to the front before he could slip away for weeks on end.  Finally, she reaches his side, and wondering if she dared, then shrugs.  Why not.  Leaning close to his ear, she whispers softly.

"Gimme all ya kitty chow."

Smiling as he turns around to face her, Rose hugs Kittyhawk with such happiness and proudness.

"Hai my wonderful friend!  I am extremely happy and excited for you with this new adventure.  I wish you the best of luck and wishes.  Congratulations!!!  I know you will help make Las Vegas a success!"

Visas hears the story of the little kitten that had found his wings after wipeing a tear from her eye she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug.

Kittyhawk its great to see you bringing the Mountain kittens to the great city of Vegas i am sure you will build it more powerfull then you built New York congrats Kitty.

bina stands way back in the crowd gathered before Kittyhawk. At the very end in the shadows. She watches the man and starts to shake her head bent down. She listens as her newly moved friend talks and can't help herself feeling a bit sad. There was history there and she couldn't shake of the feeling of sadness. How would she survive the long trip across the country in order to have those nice talks? How could the man in front of her be so selfish? 

Without hesitations bina started to push her way to the very front. Smile growing bigger as she gets closer. When she arrives at the very front she lays down a big bronze engraved plate saying "The Mountain Kittens" and starts to back away. But before getting out of range she whispers to Kittyhawk: "- Good luck dear! Have fun and enjoy, you deserve it!"

Good luck on your new endeavour. May your journey be a long and prosperous one.  It is nice to see some new faces in the great city of Vegas. I look forward to seeing what you and the others will help accomplish in this fine city.

My sincerest congratulations kittyhawk! Hope to see your family thrive in the competition. 

After taking in  her daily dose of medicines , one of her slaves erm bodyguard came rushing to her and told her that there is a commotion at the streets and its something about a Kitty with wings and The Sin City . She raise one perfectly arched eyebrows at this statement and question the person . "What are you talking about , what kitty cat ?" as they all know she is not that fond of the feline line , she had a bad experience with them once when she was but a little girl and from that experience all feline creatures are banned from her headquarters .

" Its your friend Kittyhawk he just got authed at the Sin City " replied the ever exhausted man . 

With that news she perks up , "Why didn't you say so ! Stupid fool ! Time to go and congratulate our friend " she hurriedly go to the streets and congratulate her old time friend .

" My dear dear KittyHawk , today is a very remarkable day at our community . Your hard work hasn't gone unnoticed and Im very confident that you will do great, with ideas that are unique and foresight that no one can compete  . I am looking forward with working alongside you KittyHawk . " With that she rubs the pus--erm Kittyhawk and hugs him tightly .

what can i say my friend, you have been a source of great humour, and may good conversations in the past, your ancestors and mine have stood shoulder to shoulder as the shit hits the fan and on the rise to glory.  I know going to an experimental city always comes with additional pressures and  problems but i know your well equipped to handle whatevers thrown at you.

I wish you the very best of luck in the competition and i congratulate you on being in bold, i hope you enjoy offering your abilities and knowledge to both your members and district my friend.

Raises a flask with a wink and a smile.

Syd gasped loudly as the purrfect Kitty announced the most amazing crew name ever. Her hands darted to her mouth and tears started to flow down her face.

"It's.... it's beautiful...", her eyes got wide and glossy. "Congratulations Kittyhawk! I'm really glad that you are getting the chance to help build up Paradise with us."

Sydney grabbed the bottle of whiskey her bodyguard had been holding. She presented it to the all powerful fluffiness with a smile that went ear to ear.

"To our future, may it be a long and successful one!"

JohnnyNoname had been asked to give a few words at KittyHawk's going away party. He was running late but he still managed to make it right before the crowd left. Taking a stand in front of everyone Johnny began to look out into the crowd.

"KittyHawk, this is a great day for you. I've known you for some time now. I also knew your ancestors leader of the Mountain Goats. Now I know your ancestors had a short demise at the hands of a certain Godfather but no need to throw salt into any wounds."

"We are here today for a different even as I'm sure you all know. I'm looking forward to see you going to Paradise. I know you and the Mountain Kittens will do great things, even though GOATS are clearly better, I'm sure you can achieve great things none the less."

Walking over to KittyHawk, Johnny reached into his pocket pulling out AlexMoran's necklace and giving it to him. 

"I'm sure he would have wanted you to have this." 

Johnny pulls out a cigar and strikes it, walking away without saying another word. 

Rorschach rushes up to see the flying kitten he had heard was addressing both the public and the ugly and insignificant trolls who congregate around the streets at night. Amazed at the magnificent wings on it's back, Rorschach gushes:

"Kitteh!! I came as soon as I heard the commotion! I'm delighted that you've been given this opportunity and I look forward to watching you make a lovely nest home in Sin City. Congratulations my favourite feline frand, I'm sure you'll feather it nicely!"

As he begins to pet the pretty, yet strangely ironic creature in a loving, congratulatory manner, the young cat begins to hiss and paw at his hand, so Rorschach simply twiddles it's tail, chuckles and skips off in a colourful manner.

Monty knocks at Kitty's office door, days after he has set up, with a bag of bird feed and some catnip. Well, he did not know what Kittyhawk was more of, a cat or a bird? Quite the puzzle. He gleams when he notices the (very) apparent scowl on Kitty's face when he greets him. He hugs the feathery fluffy thing and gives it a pat on the back.

"Dear Kitty, I am happy that you've decided to do something with that life of yours. Hopefully, you don't get yourself deaded this time around. Well, you DO have nine lives, right? I'll be hoping on that."

kittens definitely not safe here BE CAREFUL

Best of luck a cat with the wings of a hawk Cant fail Godspeed my friend

That name sounds familiar

That kitty seems familiar

"You've grown up my friend. I still remember the time you were just a kitten, eager to conquer the skies. It's time to make your dreams come true. Good luck on your quest, little kitty. Fly high!"

And with these kind words of support CookieZombie disappeared in the crowd
