10: Waking up
Author's pov:
"Why are they still unconscious?! Why don't they wake up?!" Vinnie panicked while walking nervously around the living room in the Last Chance Garage. After the heroes had beaten Limburger and his new villain Catscan, Throttle and Ava had mystically fainted all so suddenly during their victory cheering. Charley knew that Ava had been acting weirdly and fainted all around that previous day, but now this thing got to brand new level since Throttle had fainted too. And neither of them knew a reason for it which made them very much worried and nervous.
"General Stoker isn't answering.." Modo said from the workshop where the door was left open so they could hear him to the living room. "Don't panic guys.. I'm sure they'll wake up soon.. But do you have any idea what would have caused this?" Charley said while sitting on the edge of the couch where Ava was laying. They had brought her and Throttle back to the Last Chance and lifted them to both couches in the living room.
"No.. But one thing I'm sure of! Since Throttle fainted too, this must have something to do with each other and there's no need for the doctor to look at Ava.." Vinnie said while thinking through the whole thing. "Modo, continue calling him.. We can be too far from Mars now but if they are looking around for any signals, they should see yours trying to reach them.." He continued before sighing deeply and turning to look at their leader worriedly.
"You are surprisingly wise in a situation like this, Vinnie.." Charley smiled at him and tried to not only calm but also cheer him up a bit. "I have to.. We are taught to handle every kind of situation Earth gets us since our own civilization is far away from here.. But this.. This.." Vinnie said before turning to look down at the floor and shake his head.
"This is far from our knowledge, I know that Vincent.. But we need to handle this.. Not only us but also Mars needs Throttle too!" Modo said while still trying to contact Mars. "Would that module in your spaceship work better, Modo?" Charley said while getting up and walking to the doorway to see him.
"No.. We used most of the parts yesterday to create the armor for the Last Chance.. It would take a heck of a time to undo it and try to get the radio system back to work again since some parts of it were taken and modified too.." Modo shook his head but then saw Vinnie at the doorway too. "Would there still be any parts we could use to make our bikes' signals any stronger? Or create a new one.." He said while his tail was swinging around curiously but also as a sign of being worried.
"Haven't thought about that.. Should we give it a try?" Modo said, making him shake his head. "Normally Throttle would make these kinds of decisions.. But since he isn't saying anything.. I'd say we should" Vinnie said, making him nod but soon they heard someone talking in the living room which made all three of them run back fast.
"There's no need for that, Vincent.." Throttle mumbled while lifting his hand on his forehead. "Throttle!!" Charley gasped and ran to hug him. "Please.. Don't shout.." He said while rubbing his eyes with his fingers. "Sorry.. How are you feeling?" The Mechanic asked before giving him his specs that were on the living room's table.
"Thanks.." He said while putting them on before he slowly sat up on the couch. "I feel like someone has driven over me.. What happened?" He asked while looking at his bros that still looked very worried about him. Then he saw Ava laying on the other couch too and still unconscious.
"You both fainted.. Right after Modo had thrown that Martian grenade you gave him.. Do you have any ideas about what happened?" Vinnie said, making him shake his head. "All I remember is having that headache again, but nothing more out of normal.. Why did she faint? Is she okay?" Throttle said while Charley got up and walked to check Ava, not sure how many times since they had lost count already.
"She's breathing normally and she doesn't look like she would be in danger.. But.. We don't know.." Charley said while turning to look at Vinnie who nodded at her after crossing his arms. "Tell them.. I think you should and I know you know that too.." He said, making Throttle and Modo turn to look at her confused.
"Tell what?" Modo asked, making Charley sigh deeply. "Everything wasn't alright with Ava yesterday.. When you were at Quigley Field, after the radio call when I had gone to make some preparations for the smoke screen.. I found Ava passed out on the kitchen floor" Charley started to explain while they were looking at the unconscious woman.
"I shouted to Vinnie to help me to pick her up from the floor to carry on the couch.. She thought Vinnie was Throttle.." Charley said while turning to look at the commander. "Throttle? Why Throttle? Didn't she notice Vinnie being himself?" Modo asked while leaning against the couch where Throttle was sitting. Then they saw Vinnie shaking his head before he walked to sit next to Throttle.
"I saw from her eyes that something wasn't right.. Like she was hallucinating or something!" Vinnie explained before turning to look at his bros again. "Hallucinating? Maybe it was a dream or something she saw before waking up?" Modo suggested but the white furred male shook his head again. "You mean she suddenly fell asleep in the kitchen? Don't you think that sounds more weird, Big Bro?" He said, making the gray furred male agree with him.
"I might have an idea what this might be but she needs to wake up first so we hear about what happened.." Throttle said, making them turn to look at him. "You do?" Charley asked and got a nod as an answer. "Only an idea.. Nothing more than that" Throttle said while trying to think about that thing more, but soon noticed his headache was coming back.
He turned to look at the young woman while thinking about their first meeting. "Would she remember something about that after all? What else would cause these headaches? I only get this kind of ache when I try to think about her.." He thought in his mind but then they saw Ava starting to move a bit on the couch.
"Is she waking up?" Vinnie asked worriedly while Charley was sitting on the edge of the couch. "She was awake once when the Catscan visited the Garage.. But she was a bit weak even if she tried to be her normal sassy self too.. But just before Throttle and Modo got back, she.. Well you two saw how was she like! And after our victory she fainted once more.. Not sure how long she was awake between that since her behavior was so weird.." Charley explained while looking at her friend worriedly.
"Charley ma'am.. Do you know if she has any diseases?" Modo asked gently, making her sigh deeply. "I can't tell you anything specific without her permission, but what I know she has some.. But nothing that would cause this.." She explained making the trio nod to her. "Are you sure?" Vinnie asked but then saw her nodding. "Yes.. Since what I know about them, they wouldn't do anything like this.." She said while turning back to look at her.
"Ava, do you hear me? It's Charley.." She asked gently while touching her palm gently. She was breathing normally for sure and her movements looked like she was about to wake up.. But for real, she was going through another vision which actually caused her body to move a bit.
Ava's pov:
"Who are you.. What happened.." I heard myself asking in total darkness. I saw nothing around me but heard some voices from which another one belonged to me even if I wasn't currently talking at all. "A huge accident.. But you will be safe soon! I promise!!" I heard another voice answering my question, I heard my voice asking. "Where am I? What happened?" I thought but then heard my own voice talking again.
"You.. You are a mouse.. A Giant mouse.." My very own voice said and it took a while from the other one to answer. I still saw nothing but darkness around me, there were only those voices talking. "Yes.. But I am here to help you. What's your name?" The Other voice said which I recognized belonged to a man, or a male if he was a mouse for real. A Mouse? But that voice really sounded very much familiar, like I had heard it somewhere else too already..
"My name.. is Ava.. I'm Ava.." My voice answered the guy who sounded to be very close to me. "Alright Ava. I'm going to lift you now.. I know you are hurting, but soon you are in the hospital. Right? Did you hear me?" He said but soon his voice sounded like he was about to panic. "Hey! Don't fall asleep!! Huh, Ava..? Ava!!" He repeated my name which almost could be heard like he was worried. Was he worried about me? Why? Why would he be worried about me?
"Am I hurt..?" I heard my own voice asking again, but this time the guy answered much faster, really almost panicking. "Don't go anywhere!" The Voice said. "You.. You are.. beautiful.." My voice answered, not helping at all with my confusion, but this time I realized that my voice sounded a bit weaker than earlier. "Where would I be going? I don't even know where I am!" I thought to myself but when I tried to talk, I noticed that I couldn't say a word. Was I hurt or what was this all darkness and voices? What was happening around here?!
"Stay awake, Ava.. Hospital isn't far!!" The Male said but then I heard another voice talking. It was far from him, which made me think that he might have been right next to me. "Hey Throttle you're alive!!" Another voice shouted which I could clearly hear too. So.. This first one's name was Throttle, right?
"Vincent! I'm so glad to see you, but no need for talking.. This woman needs to get to the hospital.." The First one said while everything was still pitch black. Then I heard the other one talking more quietly this time. "Is she.. alive?" I heard him saying, Vincent, was it? There were a while when just those two voices talked and I didn't hear my own voice answering at all.
"Barely.. Her name is Ava" That Throttle guy answered but then I heard both of them much closer now. Was I moving even if I didn't see anything? "Where are the others?" Throttle asked next and then I heard the other guy, Vincent, sighing. "They are.. Alive, safe and okay.. But after we saw your bike.. We got worried and I got to search for you while Modo helped Old Timer to get safe.." He explained while I tried to look around even if there was nothing more than just the darkness around me. "Was there someone else around me too? Why can't I see anything?!" I thought to myself before I tried to talk again since I heard no-one talking for a while.
"Hey! Is anyone there?! Do you hear me?!" I tried to talk but heard that only as a level of thought in my head like I couldn't talk at all. But when I tried to say something again, I heard my voice talking again, but like itself and definitely not the words I had tried or meant to say. "Hey..! You.." My voice tried to shout but it sounded very weak now. "What's your name.." It continued and for some reason I had thought that the question was meant for that previous voice.
It took a while to hear any kind of answer but when I finally heard it, I recognized it came far earlier and the voice was almost like getting away, like he or I was going far from each other. "Throttle! My name is Throttle!" The Voice shouted and I barely heard it. "Throttle.. Throttle.." I thought for a while before there was a bright flash of light next.
"This is surely that exact woman, Your Heavy Cheesiness.." Someone said cunningly next, making me narrow my eyes while trying to look around, but this time I saw nothing but bright light. "Good.. Very good.. Now do what you need to do to get rid of her in any case, Dr Karbunkle!" Another voice, much lower, said, making the other one a bit questioning.
"But.. But.. Your Port Salut Prestigiousness! If we eliminate her.. The Earth will come after us!" The Third voice after those Throttle and Vincent guys, said and was almost panicking too. "Why were all of these voices panicking and what for? I should be panicking since I'm the one who hears some voices here!" I thought to myself but then the lower voice laughed.
"The Earth? The Earth, you say? You really think a whole planet will come after one silly girl? Don't be ridiculous, Karbunkle!" The Voice said and if I could I'd roll my eyes right now, but also their words made me worried. Who wants to get rid of me and why?! And why are they talking like they weren't from the planet?!
"Right.. The Previous one was a talking mouse and you didn't question that at all, Ava.. Well done, you idiot.." I thought to myself just before I heard the voices again. "This girl knows simply just too much! The Plutarkian High Chairman ordered me personally to get rid of her! So now just do it!! Do anything possible to get rid of her!" The Lower voice practically shouted making the other one sound maybe a bit unsure.
"Yes.. Yes.. Of course, your Delicious Cream Cheesiness!" The Other one said but after that I didn't hear the lower voice talking any longer. "Maybe just some fine touches to her brain and her memories would do right enough.. Well, let's see!" The Voice said much closer now again. "Don't you dare to even think about that!!" I thought to myself but then I saw the bright light flashing for a while before it came pitch black again.
"Great.. Lights out again.." I thought to myself while waiting what crazy thing I would hear next. I didn't know if I was lucky or not since I didn't need to wait for a long time till I heard my own voice talking again, or practically shouting this time. "Help!! Please! Somebody! Help mee!!" My voice shouted while I still saw nothing.
"I tried that already, sis.. No use.." I thought to myself but then heard my voice shouting again. "Can anyone hear me?!" The Voice said and I would sigh now if I just could. "Wouldn't you just shut up since no-one hears you?!" I thought but the voice just kept shouting which made me think why I was shouting for help?
"Is anybody there?!" My voice kept shouting which I heard clearly even if I knew I wasn't talking at all at the moment, which I haven't done this whole time but I still just could hear my own voice talking. But then to my surprise I heard someone answering. "Where are you? Are you hurt?!" That Throttle guy shouted. "But he already found me? I talked to him? What is this?!" I thought but then heard my voice again.
"I am.. here..!" I heard my voice saying and it took a while from Throttle to say anything. "Hold on! I'm almost there!!" He shouted which I could now hear coming closer and closer to me. "Are you under these tiles?" He asked. "What tiles? I see literally nothing!!" I thought but then my voice talked again. I didn't have any idea what was happening and why I didn't see anything, but this was getting boring now.
"Yes! I'm.. Over.. Here!" My voice said and only if I could, I would sigh again. "Who are you.. What happened.." My voice asked which I noticed that was the first thing I heard myself saying during this all darkness. "Is this going to repeat itself now? Why?" I thought to myself but then I heard Throttle saying those same things again which confirmed my question being right.
"A huge accident.. But you will be safe soon! I promise!!" He said and soon I heard myself saying that "You.. You are a mouse.. A Giant mouse.." again. "Yes.. But I am here to help you. What's your name?" Throttle said, making me almost frustrated now. "Why was this thing repeating itself? What can I do to make this stop?!" I thought to myself but then my voice introduced me again.
"My name.. is Ava.. I'm Ava.." It said and it didn't take a long from the male to answer. "Alright Ava. I'm going to lift you now.. I know you are hurting, but soon you are in the hospital. Right? Did you hear me?" He said but soon started to panic again. "Hey! Don't fall asleep!! Huh, Ava..? Ava!!" He panicked and now if I could just yell, I would..
"Am I hurt..?" My voice said again, making the male panic more. "Don't go anywhere!" His voice said before I told him being beautiful.. Right.. "You.. You are.. beautiful.." My voice said, making me now even more frustrated. "Right.. And now I should stay awake, huh?" I thought and if I could chuckle, I would. "Stay awake, Ava.. Hospital isn't far!!" His voice said and then there came that other voice again, Vincent's voice, a bit far from him.
"Hey Throttle you're alive!!" He shouted but now I could feel my nerves getting tighter. "I know that guy's name is Throttle, why are you repeating this to me?! Stop!!" I tried to shout but only heard it as a thought in my mind. "Vincent! I'm so glad to see you, but no need for talking" Throttle said, which made me want to cry now. I am so frustrated now..
"I know that guy is Vincent too!! Throttle and Vincent! Vincent is called Vinnie and you guys are the Biker Mice from Mars with the third one called Modo!!!" I tried to shout with all of the strength I had. "This woman needs to get to the hospital.." Throttle continued making my mind almost explode.
"Is she.. alive?" Vincent said like they were completely ignoring me even if they both were closer to me again. "Barely.. Her name is Ava" Throttle said but then continued. "Where are the others?" He asked and with their voices, I could hear the sound of a motorcycle growling now too. "Gosh this is annoying.." I thought to myself but then heard Vincent repeating his words again.
"They are.. Alive, safe and okay.. But after we saw your bike.. We got worried and I got to search for you while Modo helped Old Timer to get safe.." He said, making me want to try to shout again. "You guys are the Biker Mice from Mars, I hear you! I already heard from you for the first time!! Don't repeat this to me!!" I tried to shout from the bottom of my lungs but it didn't seem to work. Or did it..
"Help!! Please! Somebody! Help mee!!" I heard my own voice shouting for help again. "No.. Not for the third time.. I already remember all of this!" I thought but then I realized what I had just tried to say but ended up just a thought. "I already remember all of this.." I repeated my thoughts. "I already remember.." I thought that for the third time. "These are my memories!! I remember!" I tried to shout but again once more it was just a thought in my mind.
"I remember!! These are my memories! I got into an accident and Throttle helped me to get safe! Throttle, one of the Biker Mice, saved my life!! Throttle, one of those Biker Mice that have been my heroes since I was just a child!!" I thought but then I realized it was now stronger than a thought, like I had said it out loud. But before I managed to say anything more, there was another huge flash..
"No.. Not those guys again!" I tried to sigh but it got stuck since I noticed that there was no longer just a bright light or darkness around me. A Laboratory. I saw a laboratory around me. "Finally!! Freaking finally!" If I could I would have cried of relief when I saw something else too than just a light or darkness around me.
"This is surely that exact woman, Your Heavy Cheesiness.." Said a weird looking man, if that thing even was a man, who was wearing white scientist's jacket with light green glasses on him while there was some kind of hose pipe attached to his head that led to his black vest around his waist. He was crouching while walking around the lab.
"Good.. Very good.. Now do what you need to do to get rid of her in any case, Dr Karbunkle!" Said another voice which I noticed belonged to a huge man who was wearing a purple suit on him. "But.. But.. Your Port Salut Prestigiousness! If we eliminate her.. The Earth will come after us!" The Scientist almost panicked after he had walked to me while the other one was just standing a bit far from me.
"The Earth? The Earth, you say? You really think a whole planet will come after one silly girl? Don't be ridiculous, Karbunkle!" The Man in a purple suit said just before he lifted his mask off, revealing his face that definitely wasn't the face of a man! It was more likely a fish looking like a creature.
"This girl knows simply just too much! The Plutarkian High Chairman ordered me personally to get rid of her! So now just do it!! Do anything possible to get rid of her!" He said, making me realize that he must be Lawrence Limburger since the Biker Mice were real too and that scientist was nobody else than Karbunkle.. Or properly said, Dr. Benjamin Boris Zachary Karbunkle..
"Yes.. Yes.. Of course, your Delicious Cream Cheesiness!" Karbunkle said while Limburger left the room after putting his human looking mask back on his real face. "Maybe just some fine touches to her brain and her memories would do right enough.. Well, let's see!" Karbunkle said before starting to laugh while I was laying on some kind of bed and I was covered all over with some bandages and patches. But then I saw a wall exploding near the doorway, making the scientist gasp and put an alarm on.
"Old Timer, you get the girl, we'll handle these guys!!" I saw Vinnie dashing through the wall with his red motorcycle just before some group of bad guys entered the room to attack the four of the mice. "Wait what, four?!" I thought to myself but then saw the fourth one coming straight towards me while three of the Biker Mice started to fight with the bad guys.
"Vincent, you're not the one who tells everyone what to do here, but I'll watch it through my fingers this time!" The Fourth one, much older than the trio, said which I recognized to be the same one that was in the nightmare I just had seen! "Stoker or what was this guy's name?" I thought to myself just before I saw him opening my bandages fast while the others were defending us.
"Is she alright, Stoke?!" I heard Throttle shouting while they had to have their full attention on the battle. "Seems fine at first look, but can't say for sure just yet! We need to get out of here now, I got her!!" The Older mouse said while lifting me in his arms and starting to run towards the walls far from the fight. "Vinnie, keep some company for them, I'll grab the girl while Modo, you take the general! Vinnie will follow us immediately when the girl has left the building with me!" Throttle commanded before dashing already after the general who was carrying me in his arms while running.
"What about making an exit first, Soldier?" I heard the general smirk which made me turn to look at the way he was running. "Exit?! What exit? I see only the wall there!!" I thought to myself just before I saw Throttle shooting another hole into the wall before I was given to his arms, which after he left the building. Normally I would have been screaming in that kind of situation but for now, this felt so weird.. But then all so sudden I heard myself screaming from the top of my lungs.
Then the view changed again. I saw a huge explosion on the streets in my home country and the next thing I saw was people running around and panicking while I tried to get myself safe too. "What's happening here?!" I heard myself asking just before I felt something very sharp tearing my body apart, or that's what it felt like.
I fell on the ground and saw nothing but blood all around me just before another huge explosion to the building right next to me. I saw it grumbling and collapsing right onto me just after I noticed that my chest and shoulder were bleeding. There was no way for me to get up and get safe before that building would hit me!
"But wait.. I know this.." I thought to myself when I saw the building collapsing on me. From that it took a while before I heard myself shouting for help again. And then Throttle answered me. But from that it didn't take long when everything turned pitch black again.
"Ava.. Ava? Do you hear me?" I could now again hear someone talking to me, but this time it felt much different. "Ava! Move your hand or anything if you hear us!" Someone else said but then I could hear a smack and an "Ouch!" from the same one. "Vinnie, is that really what you think would help?" I heard Throttle's voice growling but then Vinnie talked again.
"It is! Her hand moved!" Vinnie said while I slowly opened my eyes. "Ava!!" I saw Charley sitting next to me and I noticed it was her voice who had asked if I heard her. "See? I'd become a doctor!" Vinnie said proudly but then got another smack to the back of his head. "Ouch! Hey stop that!!" He growled while I saw him rubbing the back of his head.
"Guys! Behave and be quiet.. How are you feeling, Ava?" Charley growled at the guys before turning to look at me again. I saw all four of them had gathered around me and I was laying on the couch. I just looked at them for a while without saying anything, then I turned to look at Throttle and saw him looking straight back to me.
"You saved me from those ruins in my home country.." I said while looking at him. That made all of them freeze on their places and it took a moment from the tan furred male before he just slowly nodded at me.
