Author's pov:

After a few months passed and the trial of Scabbard was finally over, the Biker Mice decided to celebrate it with their females. The whole group had gathered together, except Jessica. And even if they didn't say anything about it out loud, each of them knew that she couldn't be trusted. Not yet. And that hurt Modo the most even if he understood it too. She was his girlfriend but how could everything be fixed after that kind of horrible things. They, especially Carbine, had witnessed Scabbard crimes in the trial which meant that she had to go through her dark and hurtful past again. But did she tell everything to the trial either, no-one except she knew that..

"A Stunt show, huh?" Modo read the sign while they were walking from the Military court house to their bikes. "Evil Eye Weevil, does that ring any bells to you bros?" Vinnie wondered while swinging his tail as a sign of curiosity and leaning towards the sign when they stopped walking to look at it. "No.. But seems to be famous since he'll come here.." Throttle said while he had Carbine's hand in his. "All the way across the galaxy to Mars! Sounds fun! Why can't we do that?!" Vinnie turned to look at Throttle but he didn't answer him. Meanwhile he had turned to look at Carbine.

"Carbine, are you okay?" He asked worriedly. "Yeah.. Just tired a bit.. It wasn't easy to go through those things again.." She said making him nod to her. He looked at her the way she knew he understood her, which made her form a small smile at him.

"But shouldn't we celebrate this the way Carbine wants?" Harley said while the males were looking at the sign again. "Hello.. Mars is calling the Biker Mice!" She said and pulled their antennas making them turn to look at her. "Ouch! What was that for?!" Vinnie whined while he was rubbing his antenna like his bros did too.

"You are right, Harley.. Sorry Carbine. What would you like to do? We really need to celebrate this" Throttle said and rubbed her palm gently. "I think we should take a look at what he is made of" She said and pointed to the sign while smiling at her friends. "Really?!" Vinnie gasped and almost jumped to the air already. He was the most excited from the group about motocross.

"Are you sure? You know what motocross does to these guys.." Harley rolled her eyes. Even if she was a mechanic too and liked the vehicles, especially motorcycles, she also got tired of the topic sometimes. Especially when those three mammajammas never got tired of it, or anything that included something about bikes.

"I am. It sounds fun and takes my thoughts away from that trial.." Carbine said and maybe she was about to continue, but Vinnie already jumped to the air while shouting loudly. "Wa ha ha ha ooo! What are we waiting for?! Let's go!!" He cheered while running to his bike making the other males follow his lead while females looked at each other and rolled their eyes while smiling.

"Do you mind if I join you guys..?" They heard a voice saying behind their backs when they had got their helmets on and were ready to leave. "Jessica.." Modo smiled but Throttle lifted his hand in front of him. "Depends on your answer.. Which one are you?" He asked the question the others were still thinking at.

"Huh?" She looked at him with a confused expression on her face. "Commander asked you a question.." Vinnie said while leaning against his bike's front glass with his arms. "What do you mean?" The Platinum haired chestnut furred female said while the others still looked at her suspiciously.

"Are you really Jessica.. Or Sapphire.." Throttle said while carefully following her every movement. She just stood there and looked very much confused. "I- I don't understand.." The Female said but when Vinnie was about to say something, Modo drove between the female and his friends.

"She seems innocent to me.." He said to his friends before turning to look at the female. "Yeah of course she does to you! You didn't even recognize them from each other in the first place!" Vinnie shouted making Harley poke his shoulder. "What?" He said but got a glare as an answer. "Let's give her a chance.. She might really be her.." Harley said making Carbine nod. "If we don't and she really is who she tells us to be, we might ruin their relationship" The General said but then Throttle turned to look at her with a confused expression.

"But she is his sister too? Why do you want to give her a chance?" He asked making her sigh deeply. "I don't trust her since her other siblings are what they are.. But I shouldn't judge the book by its cover.." She said but in her mind she continued her sentence "And I owe her one.." but didn't say anything.

"Do you really want to ruin what they have?" Harley asked but then continued. "And I am here too! Jessica is also my friend so I can help Modo to recognize her.." She said but wasn't actually sure if she could trust her own words this time. "Let's take her with us to the show.. There we'll see which one she really is" Throttle suggested making the others agree with him.

"What are they talking about?" The Platinum haired female asked when she walked closer to Modo. "I'll explain to you later.. But would you like to go see the Motocross show with us?" He said making her look like she was thinking about something. "The Evil Eye Weevil show?" She asked and got a nod as an answer. "Why not.. At least you can explain your actions there" She smiled making him nod and smile at her before handing her a helmet. She put it on and sat behind him. After that they hurried their way to the arena where the show was about to start soon!

At the arena:

"Wo ho ho hoo! This arena is full of Martians!" Vinnie cheered when they sat in their seats. "Yeah, we barely got the tickets here" Throttle said while sitting next to Carbine who was sitting between him and Harley. "Most seem to have traveled far to come to see the show" Carbine said after rolling her eyes to Vinnie, who had taken his place between Harley and Jessica or Sapphire, yet to be told which one she would be. And Modo was at the other side of her.

"And not only mice! Look over there" Harley said and pointed down near the arena. Their seats were at the back the third of the five upper levels where the audience were. "Harley, put your hand down.. That's not appropriate" Carbine said and pulled her sleeve a bit. "Sorry.." She said and blushed a bit.

"What are those things anyway?!" Vinnie said making the general facepalm. "Maybe some kind of sponsors? But they don't look like Martians to me!" Modo said while all of them were curiously looking at the way Harley had pointed. "Or Evil Eye Weevil's agents? Anyway they do look weird.." Throttle suggested but Carbine shook her head.

"Looks like one of those Plutarkians I saw Stoker having a video call with.." She whispered so only her friends heard it. "Plutarkians? What is a Plutarkian?" The Platinum haired female asked but no-one answered him. She only saw Modo's ears dropping down a bit. He felt awful that he couldn't trust her fully yet again.

"What are they doing here?" Throttle asked but Carbine shrugged. "Maybe we'll get to know about it soon.." Harley said while leaning back against her seat's backrest. "Shh! The show is about to start!" Vinnie hissed making each of them smile at his behavior. Sometimes he truly reminded them about young children.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Mars! I am happy to see so many of you here!!" Said one of those Plutarkians who had been standing near the arena. He seemed to be the commentator for the show. "Pfft.. Just some staff.. How boring.. I waited for something exciting to happen!" Vinnie said while leaning against his backrest too. He lifted his leg over the other while sitting widely.

"Where did the others go? I counted four of them.." Modo wondered, making Carbine and Throttle turn to look around while the others continued watching the show. "I counted five plus him.." Carbine whispered while she was half laying on Throttle's lap so she could see better to the way she was looking at.

"Umm.. Carbine.. I don't mind but what are you doing exactly?" Throttle blushed while moving his tail nervously. Carbine blushed a bit too after realizing her position, but before she could answer, Vinnie already stole the moment to himself. "Wo ho hoo! I knew you two were quite horny guys but that..!" He shouted making the general get up immediately since some other people had turned to look at what he was yelling about.

"Shut it!" Carbine growled but then turned to look at the same way again, but this time she didn't lay almost on Throttle, she placed her hand on his tight to keep herself in a better position to lean the way she was looking at. "Is everything okay?" Throttle gulped while looking at her right hand on his upper thigh. "Look over there.." Carbine said and sat back on her seat and lifted her hand from his thigh to his cheek to turn his face to look the same way.

"What? Is that Commander in Chief? With the Plutarkians?" Throttle whispered to her making her nod. "In the loge which is for the special guests.." She whispered back to him. "Hey the Evil Eye Weevil is finally in the arena!!" Vinnie cheered when the motocross show finally started.  Even if the arena's stunt places looked very complicated, they knew that Vinnie was eager to try them. "Yeah.. That was quite a boring speech for a start.." Modo said making two of the females agree with him after the commentator had finally finished talking so far.

"I.. I don't have a good feeling about this.." Carbine looked at Throttle worriedly making him lift his hand on her back. "You are still tense about the trial.. Let's focus on the show now and relax" He said but she shook her head. "Really Throttle. Something is wrong! First the calls and now this.." She said and was still looking at him the way that made him sigh deeply. "Alright, but what can we do?" He said, making her get up from her seat right away.

"Follow me" She said but then felt someone grabbing her wrist. "Where are you going?" Harley asked worriedly, she had been listening to them while watching the show. Two other guys had joined Evil Eye Weevil in the arena, they were introduced as Pukes of Hazard and they were a lot smaller than the main star, but had very interesting looking vehicles too. Not forgetting that themselves either. All three of them looked very interesting, if that was a proper word to describe them.

"I just need something to drink.. Make sure no-one takes our places, we'll be back soon!" Carbine said but Harley didn't buy that. She just stared at her friend suspiciously, meanwhile Vinnie, who was so focused on the show, just heard the word 'drink'. "Bring something to us too, thanks!" He said making Throttle chuckle but when he was about to say something, he noticed that Carbine had left already and was far away from him.

"Carbine wait for me!" He hurried after her in the middle of the audience. She was going towards the loge where the Commander in Chief was with three other Mice and the Plutarkian guests. "Those three look very highly rated to me.." Throttle whispered when they got near it. "Must be the leaders of Mars.. But why are all three of them here.. It's so risky to have all Four of the Highest at the same place.. Especially in a place so public like this!" Carbine said back to him but then someone yelled at them.

"Hey!! What do you think you are doing?! This is a private area!" One of the Plutarkians shouted at them. He seemed to be a soldier since he had some guns and purple clothing on which looked like it would be a uniform. "Seems like you counted wrong too, Carbine.." Throttle said but then they heard a familiar voice talking behind them. "Everything is alright. They are with me" General Stoker said while walking down the stairs to them. But the Plutarkian soldier didn't look pleased at all.

"Are there any problems here?" Stoker continued making the soldier have the casual expression on his face again. "No, not at all. But please leave the area and go back to your seats. Thank you" the soldier said making the general nod to him. "Follow me.." He said to Throttle and Carbine before turning around.

"Come on Carbine.. Let's go back" Throttle said while he turned to follow the general, but Carbine just stayed there and looked at the soldier before she turned to look at the loge again suspiciously. The Soldier took tighter grip on his gun, making Throttle walk in front of the female. "Let's go get the drinks now, come on!" He said and pushed her to move.

"Everything is not alright.." Carbine said after they had walked to the second level. "You noticed it too.." Stoker said after making sure they could talk in private. "What is happening here, Stoke?" Throttle asked while looking around them with Stoker. "Seems like the Plutarkians were not pleased about the last video call.. So they came here in person to make an offer about Mars.. Or that's what I had in mind.." Stoker sighed making both of them gasp loudly. Few closest from the audience turned to look at them for a moment, but then continued to enjoy the motocross show.

"What?! No way!!" Throttle looked at him, his eyes widened. "Do you think the Highest could really sell Mars?" Carbine wondered but her uncle shook his head. "I'm not sure.. But whatever this is.. This ain't a good thing.." He said but Carbine continued. "But all three leaders were here with the Commander in Chief! And there were no Martian guards with them!!" She sounded almost like panicking when Stoker lifted his both hands on her shoulders.

"I know you are smart, Carbine. You always have been.." He said while looking at her in her eyes. "How does that have anything to do with this?" She asked but then felt Throttle's hand on her lower back again. "Of course there are Martian guards too.. They are outside the loge, and I also happen to be one of them for now. But you need to remember that those four are not just some sudden citizens. They are elite" He said making her sigh and nod to him. "Wise words, General," Throttle said making him smile. Either of them knew how to calm down Carbine. But neither of the three of them knew yet that her gut feeling was right..

"Can we help you with anything?" Throttle asked Stoker after Carbine had turned to look at the floor before sighing deeply. He gently rubbed her lower back with the back of his palm. "No you can't. I'll inform you if there's anything that needs to be told. But for now on, you should go back to your seats while I continue my work here" Stoker said making Throttle nod at him.

"Do you know if they sell any drinks here? We haven't seen any sellers yet, but Carbine does look like she would need some.." The Tan furred male asked making the general look like he was thinking about something. "I think I saw one walking around downstairs, near the ticket seller" He said while looking at his niece who had turned to look at the show again.

"Everything will be fine, Carbine. I promise you that" He said and placed his hand on her shoulder again making her turn to look at him and smile. "Maybe we really should get something to drink.. And for the others too like Vinnie said" She said making Throttle chuckle. "Where are your seats?" Stoker asked. "At the back of the third level, you'll see them immediately" Carbine said but Throttle continued. "Or at least hear Vincent.." He said making all three of them laugh.

"I thought I heard him yelling all the way to the downstairs earlier.. He is quite a loud fellow!" He said making the couple agree with him. "You said it, General," Throttle laughed but then he left for the stairs with Carbine while General Stoker continued to his work as a guard.

"You really should trust at least your own uncle.." Throttle said after they had got to the downstairs which was at the same level with the arena. "What? Is it that obvious?" She asked making him chuckle. "I know you too well, Carbine! And I know you know that too.." He said making her sigh and smile. "You might be right.. But I still have that feeling.." She said when they walked around to search for the seller.

"What kind of feeling?" Throttle said after taking her hand in his. She blushed lightly while smiling at him. She really liked the way he was around her, so kind and caring and so gentlemanly. "Feeling about something is not right.. And it was stronger when I saw the Four of the Highest at the loge.. I think they might be in danger.." She said making him sigh deeply.

"Like Stoke said, they are elite. But if they were in danger.. They could handle it and there are many Martian guards around the place.. Trust them about what they do. We came here to relax, remember?" He said after stopping walking. He got in front of her and lifted his hands on her upper arms while looking her into her eyes.

"What have I done to get you by my side?" She said while looking back at his eyes. "Umm.. If I remember right, you beat me at the outdoor training grounds and later I embarrassed myself at the coffee house?" He said making her giggle while wrapping her arms around his neck to hug him. "Thank you, Throttle.." She said when he hugged her back. "About this hug?" He said making her laugh and burying her face against his chest.

"No.. Or yes.. But not only that.. Thank you for everything. You have done so much to me.. To keep me safe and help me with everything.." She said making him smile. "All thanks to you, Carbine" He said and lifted her jaw a bit up with his right hand. When he leaned forward and was about to kiss her, she leaned to the left and looked over his shoulder.

"The Seller is over there" She said making him chuckle. "I don't believe it was you who ruined the perfect moment.." He said and acted like he was hurt which made her giggle. "My apologies.. The Others are probably thinking where are we.." She said making him smirk at her. "I guess they can wait a little more while I steal a kiss from you.." He said making her blush again.

"I see you liked that I laid on your lap.." She tiptoed a bit to whisper into his ear which made him grin more widely. His tail was swinging the way Carbine knew what he really wanted. "You did it on purpose, I knew it.." He said huskily making her a bit tense. "On a purpose to see better, yes" She teased him making him chuff. "On purpose to tease me, is the answer.." He said and soon she noticed that he pressed her against the wall while lifting his hands on both sides of her head.

"Throttle.. We are in a public place.. And we were supposed to get the drinks.. Mmh.." Carbine said but then a moan escaped from her mouth when he started placing kisses all over her neck. "And you said one kiss.. One!" She continued making him lift his head up. "You really think I can hold myself after what you did?" He smirked, but the way he did it this time, caused her a strong flashback making her gasp and collapse on her knees while burying her face into her hands. Her tail was wrapped around her own legs as a sign she was scared.

"Carbine! Are you okay, babe?!" He said worriedly while kneeling down to her. Her whole body was shaking when she turned to look at him again. Tears were running down her cheeks when he helped her to wrap her arms around his neck and he hugged her tightly. "Sorry.. I'm so sorry Carbine.. I shouldn't have done that.. Everything is alright now, you are safe.." He said and felt bad about the whole thing. He knew that it took her some time to be close to a male like that after what Scabbard had done to her. He was so angry at him, but he just had to accept the judgment he had gotten by the trial. He wanted to have the revenge by himself, but he also knew that Carbine wouldn't want to see him through the jail bars.

"It's okay.. You didn't mean it.. I just.. I just saw that moment again.." Carbine said after she weakly got up with Throttle's help. He was still having his arms around her to make sure she wouldn't fall. "I should have thought about that more.. I feel horrible.." He said making her lift her head up to look at him with a small smile. He tried to smile at her but couldn't. "The Trial put me through all of that again.. That's why I'm quite sensitive for now.." She said making him nod. "I understand.. But I still need to apologize to you.." He said but then she kissed him making him stop talking.

"Let's get the drinks now, shall we?" She smiled after he had kissed her back gently. Now he smiled at her back and they walked to the seller who had gone to the other side of the downstairs hallway. "Good evening! What kind of drinks do you have?" Carbine greeted the seller but soon they noticed it being a Plutarkian too. And some horrible smell caused them to take a couple of steps backwards.

"Whoa! What an odor.." Throttle said while pinching his nose. Carbine was about to do it too but instead of doing it, she just poked his side with her elbow. "Not the first reaction like that we get for the day" The Seller said making them feel quite awkward. "I have a few different kinds of drinks! Root beer, Plutarkian seaweed juice and local Martian berry juice. What would you like? I personally recommend the Plutarkian seaweed juice. It's delicious!" The Seller said while showing them some bottles.

"I think we pass that thing, thanks.. But should we have five root beers and one berry juice instead?" Throttle said while turning to look at Carbine who nodded. "That sounds good!" She said but when she was about to take her wallet, Throttle already paid for him when the seller handed him the bottles. "I should've-" She started but he shook his head and then smiled at her.

"What kind of gentleman would I be if I let you pay?" He said after they thanked the seller and headed back to the stairs. "You would be a better gentleman if you let me buy something sometimes!" She said but he just chuckled back at her. "Let me at least carry them!" She said and handed her hand towards him but when he was about to deny the offer, they heard a loud explosion which made them fall to the stairs.

Meanwhile at the audience:

"What takes them so long?" Modo wondered after all four of them had got a bit worried since Carbine and Throttle hadn't come back yet. "Buying some drinks doesn't take that long.." The Platinum haired female said while looking at the gray furred male who nodded back at her. "Did they decide to make them or what?" Vinnie said making Harley blush badly and punch his shoulder gently. "Vinnie!!" She said making him raise his other eyebrow before he realized it too and started to laugh.

"And who's the pervert here now, huh Harley?" He said making her bury her face into her hands. "I thought you meant.." She started but then felt his right arm on her shoulders. "Since it takes them this long, maybe they got somewhere more private," He said making her turn to look at him again. "Not our business, right Vincent?" She glared at him making him gulp and nod. They turned to look at the show again, which had been quite good so far in their opinion.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen! Hold tightly on your seats when the amazing Evil Eye Weevil does the biggest stunt of the show!!" The Commentator announced making them look curiously there. "No way he is gonna do that!" Vinnie said but then heard Modo talking. "Jumping across the whole arena? Do you mean he is better than you in motocross, Vinnie?" He said making the white furred male roll his eyes and chuff.

"No-one is better than me at motocross! I'm the Amazing Vinnie!! The Best motocross master of the universe!" He announced loudly and was about to get up from his seat but Harley pulled him to sit back down. "Of course you are.. Of course" Modo rolled his eyes and laughed before they focused back on the show. But then they heard a familiar voice talking behind their back which made them turn around.

"Hey guys! I have something important-.. Where are Carbine and Throttle?!" Stoker said and he looked like he had just run up all of the stairs to them. "Haven't seen them since they left to get some drinks, why?" Modo said making Stoker look a bit more worried than he already was. "Is everything alright, Old Timer? Were the stairs too much for you?" Vinnie smirked making the general chuckle.

"I need to have a word with Carbine, right now. She was right about there's something wrong here.." He said with a lower voice that only four of them could hear him. "She was? Or is? Should we go find them?" Harley said but then he shook his head. "I'll go search for them. You guys stay here and if they come here before me, tell her that I need to see her immediately!" He said but when he was about to leave, they heard the show's main star shouting about something called a hostility ray.

"What's a hostility ray--" The Platinum haired female was about to say but before no-one could say or do anything more, there was a huge red flash before every Martian got red rings around their heads. "Like you would understand it!!" Vinnie shouted to the female making Modo get up from his seat and lift Vinnie up from his X-bandoleer. "Didn't your mother teach you how to talk to females, you idiot?!" He growled and his eye was glowing red too, even if it wasn't showing his whole head was glowing red.

"Like your mother is any better, you moron!!" Vinnie shouted back to him angrily while trying to free himself from his grip. "At least I still have a mother!" Modo said making Vinnie start to punch him furiously. "Do you guys always need to be fighting?!" Harley growled at them but soon got Jessica jumping on her making her fall on her back on the floor. Then General Stoker joined the fight with Vinnie and Modo while the whole audience was fighting with each other, soon following a loud explosion coming from the level of the arena.

Back to the staircase:

"What was that?!" Carbine gasped while looking at Throttle worriedly. They had fallen on the floor while walking up the stairs. Throttle had managed to cover her if something was going to fall from the roof or the whole thing to collapse or anything like that. "I guess it's the proof about you being right with your bad feeling.." Throttle said after helping her up from the fetal position she had been under him.

"Are you bleeding or why is everything all wet?" She said but then noticed the broken bottles. "I dropped them when I fell.." Throttle said but soon she saw his wrist bleeding because of the shattered glass. "You are hurt!" She said but he shook his head. "Not badly.. Are you okay?" He said making her nod. "I think I am, thanks to your quick reaction" She smiled while wrapping a red scarf around his right wrist.

"Vinnie won't be happy about that.." Throttle said making her shake her head. "We can buy new drinks later.. Let's go see where that came from!" She said after she was ready tying the scarf on him. "Thank you, babe! Is the universe trying to tell me that I should let you pay--!?!" Throttle said while running after the female who had hurried up the stairs already. But they could never believe what they saw.

The View was straight from some kind of horror movie that they would never expect to happen for real! Something had exploded at the level of the arena. There was some kind of gas spreading in the air and the whole audience were glowing red from their heads. And it didn't take long to hear the sound of shooting everywhere.

"Where's Stoker?!" Carbine panicked but soon collapsed on the ground since she got shot by her arm. "Carbine!!" Throttle ran in front of her to cover her but managed quickly lift her up and carry her back to the stairs, hidden from the open fire. "Are you okay?" Throttle said but soon noticed that she had got hit.

"We don't have time for this! We need to get to the others!" Carbine panicked and was about to get up from the floor but Throttle pressed her back down. "Move Throttle!" She shouted but he could easily see her being in panic. "Carbine you need to calm down!" He said while pressing the wound on her arm with his hand. "No!! We need to-" She started but he lifted his other hand on her mouth. "Listen to me. We need to stay calm and figure out the situation. Running straight ahead to the unknown doesn't save anyone.. I'm worried about the others too but we need to have a plan first, General!" He said and the way he said her title, she snapped back to reality from panic.

"You are right.. Thank you Throttle.." She said with a calm tone while the male took the scarf from his neck and wrapped it around her arm. "No.. It's the scarf your mother gave to you before-.." Carbine said but he had already tied it on her wound. "It's very important to me but so are you.. It will protect you, babe, like I do.." He said and then gently rubbed her cheek making her smile at him.

"Let's start with our weaponry situation.. Do you have any guns with you?" Carbine said after she carefully got up from the floor. Throttle stood in front of her if someone decided to attack them from the way they had just run. "No.. I left it on my bike.." Throttle sighed after realizing it. "Okay.. Hmm.. I have mine with me, so we have just one gun.." She said making the male turn to look at her over his shoulder when she took her gun from her purse.

"That seriously fit into that tiny bag?!" He said his eyes widened. "I thought you knew how big guns fit into small places.." She smirked and then prepared the gun to be ready to defend them. The Male chuckled but then handed his hand to her. "Give it to me, I will go first and cover you.." He said but she shook her head. "Do I need to give you a command, Commander?" She said making him sigh. Even if he was proud about her career, he was sometimes a bit frustrated that he had to obey everything from her at duty.

"I'll go first and the plan is to find others and see the whole situation, what has happened. Is that clear?" Carbine said and got in front of the male. "Yes, General" He answered before they walked back to the third audience level where the Plutarkians were shooting all over where they saw any Martians that were still fighting with each other.

Some of the Martians had noticed the shootings and tried to fight back, but most of them were weaponless and still under the hostility ray's effect. Not an angry mouse with only all fives can do much against fire armed Plutarkians, were they soldiers or not. And that thing came up very clear soon to Carbine and Throttle.

"They are massacring us!!" Carbine gasped when they got behind the seats when the Plutarkians noticed them and turned to shoot at them. She got herself in a better position and started shooting back furiously. "Seems like the negotiations with the Highest didn't go well.." Throttle said but then they turned to look at each other. "The Four of the Highest!!" They gasped but soon heard a familiar yelling near them.

"Wa ha ha ooo!! Eat this, you bloody fish faces!!" Vinnie shouted while he had jumped to stand on the backrests while using his flames and other weaponry to fight back. "Vincent! Are you okay?! Where are the others?" Throttle said, while all he could do was just take cover behind the seats. "Instead of just sitting, Throttle, fight back!!" He shouted and threw a gun at him. He got it right after and started to shoot the Plutarkians with them.

"What happened over here?! Where are the Highest?!" Carbine asked when they finally got closer to Vinnie. They had taken a few Plutarkians down, but they saw way too many mice bodies laying over there immobile. They just hoped that they didn't see anyone they knew over there in the middle of the bodies.

"This whole thing was a trap!" Vinnie said after they hid behind the seats again. They crawled on all fours, trying to stay down but still ready to defend themselves again. "No kidding? Tell me something that I didn't realize already.." Carbine grunted and shot a few times whenever someone shot towards them.

"Stoker came to us and he was looking for you.. He told us that, you were right about there was something wrong in here.. But right after that something happened and since then everyone has been arguing with each other.." Vinnie said and he was about to continue but then Throttle said what he was about to say. "And then the shooting started.. Am I right?" He said and saw Vinnie nod while he was crawling in front of Carbine and him.

"What was the explosion?" Carbine asked and tried to think the whole situation through. "It was right after everyone started fighting.. Some kind of bomb at the downer levels, I think.." He said making the general stop right there. Throttle didn't see that coming and hit his head on her butt. "Sorry.." He blushed making her chuckle at him.

"If there was a bomb.. We need to go to the lower levels and see how many are still alive.. Everyone is still fighting with each other so they probably haven't gotten themselves out of here!" She said but Throttle shook his head when they sat on the floor at their places. "What if there's another one?" He said while she turned her head from him to look at Vinnie.

"Where are the others? And Stoker?" She asked, making him point the way there were heading. "Modo threw me to the staircase when we were arguing.. I hit my head while rolling down but got it cleared from the hostility ray's effect.. I saw him fighting Old Timer next, while the females were fighting with each other.." He explained while rubbing the back of his head.

"Where are they?!" Carbine repeated the question. "Let me explain.." Vinnie grunted. "We have no time!" Throttle growled making him lift his hands in the air. "Last time I saw them, they were near the third level restrooms.. Still under the effect.." He said but then turned to look at Carbine who was still thinking at the situation. "Hostility ray, you said?" Throttle said making him nod. "Seems like it caused everyone to fight with each other but.. Why doesn't it affect the Plutarkians?" Carbine said while looking at the males. After that they saw a couple of Plutarkian soldiers running and shooting towards them, but they got them down quickly.

"Maybe there is some kind of machine.. I don't know where the ray even came from.. There was a huge red flash after the Evil Eye Weevil jumped across the arena!" Vinnie explained while defending them. "Must be his ability.." Throttle said and leaned down to take cover. Carbine shot the one that was shooting at him.

"Thank you.. That was close!" He said making her nod to him. "Let's go. Let's free the others from the effect and then we need to separate. Some of us need to start to evacuate the whole place while others go check the Four of the Highest" He said making the males agree.

"Sound like a proper plan!" Throttle said when they got up and ran fast while shooting back at the enemy. "And we need to find out how to get rid of the effect and why it doesn't affect the Plutarkians!" Carbine added but then they heard a familiar voice screaming. "Let me go!!" Harley shouted while she was hanging over the edge of the fourth level.

"If you want it that desperately!" The Chestnut furred female shouted while she was holding Harley over the edge. "Harley!!" Vinnie shouted and ran towards her while Carbine and Throttle covered him. "Open fire over there!!" They heard some Plutarkian yelling when they were too close at the edge. But before they managed to react, someone fell on the ground with bleeding coming from their head..
