Author's pov:

A Couple of months later when General Carbine had once again been sent elsewhere to obey her duties as a general, the Sergeant Scabbard's army platoon had decided to try to free the city of Brimstone from the slimy scales of Plutarkians and their forces. Even if the enemy had stolen the Red Tower and exploded almost the whole city, they had transported their own buildings and fortresses there, to make sure the city was now completely under their command. There were only a few Martian buildings left, not forgetting the ruins that used to be once wholly too.

The Enemy had continued digging the ground all over the Brimstone during those months, but now it was the time for the Martians to take their city back. "Attack!!" Scabbard yelled once their infantry was moving forward with the support of the bikes and other vehicles the Martian army still had. Even if he was still wearing the ankle monitor that he had got after getting temporarily free from the jail, he was so full of morale about getting to help Mars by the military's side.

The Bombings and shootings back didn't get the Martian army down when the Sand raiders attacked them, but when the situation turned bad for them, the sergeant had no other choice than to command the platoon to retreat once again. "Wa ha haooo!!" They soon heard someone shouting from their back, making them turn around to see the forces of the resistance movement to join them with their bikes. "Freedom Fighters! Attack!!" General Stoker shouted, making the Biker Mice jump over a hill with their bikes and join the fight immediately at first, the others following right behind them.

Modo had guns in his both hands when he shot the weaponry away from the Plutarkians hands, meanwhile the general himself jumped onto an enemy car, making it crash to the hill. Vinnie followed his lead and jumped onto another car too but his landing didn't end up as good as the general's who had joined the others right after his stunt.

"Wo ho hoo!" Vinnie howled while trying to get up, making Stoker only laugh after seeing the soldier trying to copy him. "Keep practicing, Punk!" He grinned before heading to continue the fight with others. Vinnie was feeling a bit dizzy after his stunt, but soon got up again. At the hills, Throttle punched once Sand Raider straight to his face before his mentor drove right next to him.

"Want to call the crash plot, Throttle?" General Stoker smirked at him, making him nod and turn to the forces. "Freedom Fighters! Tango Spring 7!" He commanded, making his mentor look at him proudly. "Yeah! Outstanding call, bro!" He laughed before they hit a high five and joined the fight with others. The Technique he had yelled meant to shoot wires to the enemy vehicles, making the driving impossible or at least very difficult. Some of them crashed into each other while some of them stopped right there, just waiting for the Martian soldiers to come and explode them.

"No wonder Carbine fell in love with him.. I have never doubted that but I know her parents would be proud, like his too.." Stoker sighed while looking at Throttle's way of leading and fighting. He didn't only see the Biker Mice as his bros, but also almost like his sons since he had been part of most of their lives and practically raised them.

And when the general turned to look the other way, he saw Vinnie pulling a pin off the Martian mouse grenade with his teeth, just before throwing two grenades to Plutarkian tanks. The Enemies barely managed to jump off there before they exploded, but Vinnie was already driving fast between the Plutarkian new buildings. The Enemy forces had a hard time to shoot the white furred male, which made him only laugh and howl more.

"What's the matter? Can't get a little old studly mouse, huh?" He grinned while driving as fast as he could, but then got shot to his right tight. He hadn't seen a sniper on the building's roofs, especially that one was very familiar to all of the Martians..

"Wa ha haooo! Ouch!!" He groaned when he got hit, making him head away towards the enemy shooting towers. "Oh, time for old Vinnie's sweet magic! Make sure it won't steal your tongue!" He howled before shooting down two of the towers that got destroyed completely. And it ain't the only one. The Martians had finally one the Brimstone back and the enemy forces had started retreating while the Martians were cheering their long awaited victory.

"We got those fish swimming upstream now, bros!" Stoker shouted proudly to their forces which they had gathered in front of the plaza building that was one of the many ruins of Martian buildings. It actually hadn't taken as much hit as the others, but was still quite badly damaged. That was one of the many places these soldiers, especially the Biker Mice, would remember from their youth. It was the place where youngsters usually gathered together, to do something, probably prohibited, behind their parents or mentors. And there Vinnie had sat down on a rock to wrap some bandages around his right tight. Maybe his thoughts were in the past, or maybe he was wondering about who had managed to shoot his leg, but his thoughts got interrupted by his bros, once again.

"How's it hangin', Vinnie?" Modo asked while walking to his bro with Throttle. "Just a little battle tattoo, that's all" He groaned before they heard whistling coming closer, some explosions following after them. There were still a few enemy forces left, which made Stoker get ready to fight again.

"Bros, let's nail them!" He shouted, making the Biker Mice run to him fast, but then they saw the sergeant whose face was something more displeasing than the Plutarkians. He was the worst type of scum in Stoker's eyes, and if it was asked from the Biker Mice, they definitely agreed. "Army command orders are no pursuit!" Scabbard commanded, making Stoker growl.

"Lucky for Mars, we're not in your army!" He pointed at the sergeant while looking like he would take him down in any minute, which got the brown haired male mouse back up. "I advise you to not interfere, Stoker" He growled back at the general, making him almost snap. "Interfere?! Is that what we do, Scabbard? Interfere?!" Stoker growled and raised his fist up to hit him, but then felt someone's hand on his shoulder. "Hey come on, Stoke! Now we're all battling on the same team here!" Throttle said, even if he didn't like that scumbag's face at all either. But he knew they had much more important things to do now. Especially when they had just freed the city from the enemy that was still close there, and if the enemy sees them fighting with each other, they would definitely use it as an advantage and turn the already hard situation upside down.

"Yeah bro, we'll scale those stink fish another time.." Modo said, getting Stoker sigh while having his nose against the sergeant's nose, who seemed to be really afraid of the general. "He got his punishment.. Barely even healed yet after Throttle's generous massage.. And maybe that was even just a first round, who knows!" Vinnie chuckled while Stoker took a step away from the sergeant.

"Return to headquarters!"  General Stoker commanded all the Freedom Fighters while Scabbard whipped some sweat away from his forehead, just before Throttle took a step towards him, making him jump a bit. "If you want to keep your ears attached to your head.. Stay away from her.." He growled before leaving. The Sergeant just sighed deeply before getting some mud and dirt on his face from the bikes' back wheels.

Meanwhile in the enemy fortress

When the Plutarkians had transported their buildings and fortresses to the planet of Mars, they had also got a transportation to a huge tower looking like a castle which was now the operation's leader's base. Dominic T. Stilton had also got himself an underling, or maybe even personal henchman, called Lawrence Limburger. And this exact Plutarkian was more heavily weighted than his leader who was more tall and slim like, even if he also had some extra weight on his waist level too, which was usual for the species, while the Martians were usually seen as more muscular and well trained.

"Ahh Mars! Let's see now what is the most felicitous face for your conqueror to wear!" Lawrence Limburger smirked while walking to his side table that was filled with five different kinds of Earthman looking like masks. Even if he was just a henchman there now, one of his dreams and goals was to rule everything and even the planet of Plutark someday. But without him knowing, the evil scientist, Dr. Karbunkle had put some strong glue under one of his masks that he was about to try on next.

"Oh yes that's the one!" Lawrence Limburger grinned while grabbing that exact mask from the stand before putting it on. Then he put on his purple hat that matched with his purple suit. "Must beware, Lawrence Limburger will conquer this angry red planet with deceit, cunning and that pungent odor known as.." He said while grabbing a machine gun and shooting some Earthen movie posters on the walls, before turning to smell himself while smoking some cigar.

"The Sweet smell of success!" He grinned, just before he heard his leader shouting furiously. "Limburger, now!!" Dominic T. Stilton shouted to his underling, making him groan before starting to crawl in front of him. "Coming, Sir!" He said while walking, not actually caring to hurry at all.

"More worms, your Frequently Freaked Flounderness?" Karbunkle groveled while offering a bowl full of Plutarkian slime worms, to Dominic T. Stilton. "Imported specially from Plutark!" He continued while the leader carefully picked one with a napkin. He smelled it before eating, while waiting for his lazy underling's arrival.

"Passable.. Now doctor, is there any appreciable progress on your bionic army experiments?" Stilton asked while throwing the napkin on the scientist's head. "Oh, yes yes yes! Your most Royal Heaviness!" Karbunkle smirked while grabbing his newest machine to show it to his leader.

"I am pleased to report that my Mindbender Beam is ready and awaiting some guinea pigs!" He grinned evilly while opening the booth that revealed different kind of tools of torture. "Impressive.. And this on the other hand is a far less noteworthy kettle of fish.." He said while hearing the elevator coming up to the flooring, after Lawrence Limburger came through a hatch that opened.

"You bellowed, oh Dominic T. Stilton, the greatest of the Plutarkian leaders!" Limburger bowed at him, making him groan and roll his eyes when he saw his underling's looks. "Limburger, why this tastelessly ridiculous outfit?" He asked, not sure would he even care to hear the answer.

"Oh this? Well umm.." Limburger tried to take his mask off but it had got stuck on him because of the glue, and that made the evil scientist just laugh behind their leader's back. But when Karbunkle tried to say something, Stilton just slapped him away. "..With ridicule of this Override Cheese Puff's perverse preoccupation with planet Earth's gangster period.." Karbunkle managed to continue with a cunning tone in his voice, making Stilton roll his eyes again before leaning over his underling.

"Overly ambitious, are we?" He groaned while Limburger still tried to take his mask off unsuccessfully. "Oh not at all, you Vainglorious Vizier! My mask seems to be glued on!" Limburger whined, making Karbunkle laugh even more behind his leader's back while Stilton just started to kick him. "You're pathetic, Limburger! Now explain, if you can, why Brimstone City has fallen?" He asked demandingly while pulling Limburger up by his mask.

"Well regrettably turn of events totally out of I.." He mumbled, making Stilton even angrier. "Rectify this faux pas, you Louis born of low lives, or else!!" Stilton shouted before tearing the mask off his face, making him fall on the floor while the mask got dropped on him and his leader walked away.

Once Limburger managed to get to his own office after that humiliation meeting, he radioed his secret ally to give him his new mission, and that exact ally had been the one who had shot Vinnie's tight earlier. "But those young Freedom Fighters were too much for me.." He growled, making Limburger slam his fist on the table in front of the monitor. "You were supposed to take care of everything! Now I'll have to pay even more bribes to the Martian Government to retain that city!! Make sure your story will still be bought there!" Limburger shouted before closing the connection. After that he started to search for something from his desk, filled with messy paper piles.

"Now, where are those forged withdrawals to Stilton's secret Swiss cheese account?!" He growled while trying to find them. While under the Serene Monastery was hidden Freedom Fighters' hideout under the ground, there was also the party going on hard for their long awaited victory.

Most of the soldiers were enjoying their food and root beers, while Vinnie was fixing the radio he had hacked to play some Earthen music. "Radio free Mars! Bootleg rock 'n' roll wild in below the head to the ear bone!" He cheered while doing a backflip once he heard the radio working and playing some of his favorite music. Once he jumped to stand on his hand at the table where a couple of soldiers were sitting around, he jumped off there but took a hit to the roof, making him fall on the ground.

He fell on his back while feeling dizzy, but that only made him laugh even more, especially when he saw Harley walking towards him. "So, earn some pain, Top Tail?" She smiled at him before kneeling down, while he rubbed his forehead. "Badge honor, Harley!" He smirked, but when she touched his tight where he had been shot, he groaned. "Tell me about this little ding, in your.." She said calmly while listening to his whining.

"I thought your specialties were patching bikes?" He groaned after she turned to her First Aid Kit. "It is, Hot shot! But can't have my Freedom Fighters riding around with a leak.. Especially when it comes to you.." She winked at him while preparing the disinfectant before turning back to him.

"Oh relax, Sweetheart! This one mouse will never run out of gas" He winked back at her, making her chuckle. "Yeah, that's what they say.." She laughed, while starting to clean his wound that had no bandages around anymore. "He- ouch!!" Vinnie groaned when it started to sting his wound. Neither of them noticed that General Stoker was watching them from the tables. The View reminded him about his own past, especially one thing that happened back then in his youth.

"Hey nice cause back at Brimstone, Rookie!" Mace said while walking to the table where Stoker sat on the head of it and Throttle and Modo closest to him, opposite sides of each other. They all were eating and drinking well there to enjoy their success. "Thanks Mace! I learnt from Stoke!" Throttle smiled at him after noticing the orange furred male walking behind him. "Yeah we're gonna pulverize those Plutarkian Puff Fish, right guys?!" Modo got up from his seat and lifted his jar of root beer up in the air, making all of the Fighters follow his lead.

"One other truth.. Mars wasn't invaded, Bros.." General Stoker started to say once he had promised them to be honest with everything and this exact truth he had known for too long already. It was time for them to hear it now too. "It was sold!!" He groaned, making them gasp and turn to look at each other.

"Yeah, thanks to our spineless government that's lining its pockets with Plutarkian gold gills.. And then.. There's the army.." Stoker sighed, making Throttle chuckle next to him. "Hey those guys are just following orders, Stoke! Come on, you gotta ease off their gears a little.. You know what it's like, we've been there!" He said, making the general turn to look at him. "Yeah? Any idea where your girlfriend's at Throttle? I'll tell you.. Following orders, sent in land mines on Elysium rise where there's nothing left to fight for!!" He shouted while getting up from his seat after finishing his meal and leaving Throttle just growling there. Not only because of that he actually didn't know where Carbine had been sent, but also for that his mentor might have a point there.

"Be glad you didn't nick that pretty little face of yours.." Harley smiled while gently petting the white furred male's cheek after getting his tight patched. "Pretty, huh? I thought I was the only one who noticed it.. But maybe uh.. Maybe you should go check Stoker's cooling system over there? I think your boyfriend's getting a little.. Little overheated.." Vinnie joked, making Harley snort while lifting her hands on her waist.

"Boyfriend? Hey, this wrench jockey has no ties to bind with that general, and Stoker knows that" She joked back before turning around to see the Silver Star General standing there. "Harley, there's some Freedom Fighters over there who need their tails in a sling" He said, making the nurse nod at him and pack the First Aid Kit. "I'm on it!" She said while getting up, but before that, she turned to Vinnie once more. "Keep your powder dry, Cutie" She winked at him, making him blush and feel the atmosphere hotter than normal. "That was a close one.." Harley thought in her mind when she sighed and left to check the soldiers Stoker had mentioned.

At the same time Modo was having a video call with his nephew Rimfire who was willing to join the army forces. The Gray furred male didn't yet know that his nephew was secretly trained already, by the youngster's babysitter, the General Carbine. "Rimfire! I keep telling you. You're just 16! You're too young for freedom fighting.. And when you get a little more meat on those bones, then maybe.." He sighed while shutting down the call, leaving his nephew a little disappointed since he wanted to show his talents already, mostly to his uncle.

"Emergency!!" A Female voice shouted right after the video call had ended. "Carbine calling Throttle!!" General Carbine shouted while the devices barely connected to her video call. Her voice made the tan furred commander gasp and ran to there immediately. "Plutarkian ship is threatening us! Sand storm approaching.. Army headquarters refused reinforcements!" Carbine said shortly before rolling around to dodge the laser the spaceship shot towards her. She had only three other soldiers with her and the situation seemed very dangerous. They had only one handgun per each and no bikes or other vehicles at all. They were trying to take cover behind a dune.

"Carbine!!" Throttle gasped once the connection shut down. Vinnie had run to them to hear the call too before they started to run towards their bikes that were in the bike storage. Once they got to them and started their engines, Stoker stood in front of them. "You bros do know that the safe call is to wait out the storm here.." He said while the other Fighters joined him too to block their way. Even if he was worried about his own niece, he didn't want to lose the trio either.

"Safe? As a no danger?" Vinnie rubbed his jaw, making Modo chuckle. "Blind and sand enemy attack, a lady in distress, we were born for this!" He said before they drove around the Fighters, but Vinnie stopped to Harley first before they headed to the exits. "Here, Hot shot. You may test my expanding flares I've worked up" She blushed while handing him some of her newest invention.

"Cool! Always glad to carry a torch for you, babe" He smirked before leaning towards her to kiss her before leaving. She kissed him fast back before Throttle drove to her. "Hey listen, anything in that bag of tricks for me, Harley?" He asked, making her chuckle and go through her bag. "Maybe not a kiss, but well, try these! I call them Nuke Knucks!" She threw him a brown fingerless glove that had some weapons attached to the backside of the palm. He put it on his right hand and turned them on to see it would power up his punch very much. "Nuke Knucks? Yeah I like the sound of that! And my kisses are only for Carbine, thanks Harley" He laughed, making her laugh too before he left fast with the other Biker Mice.

They left the headquarters using a hidden doorway that was at the side of the stone foundation of the Serene Monastery. They headed straight away towards the coordinates they had got from the general's radio signal. But right after they left, someone was watching their driving from the shadows. "Biker Mice coming through the Red Bridge Pass.." Male's voice said while having his right hand up where there was a rather big ring on his right ring finger.

And it didn't take long for the Biker Mice to get to that Red Bridge Pass, but when they were driving across it, some rocks fell over them. "Whoah!!" They shouted in unison before jumping up to drive along the ground wall all the way up there to dodge the rocks and see why they had fallen all so suddenly. But before they got up, some strange looking forces started to shoot them, making them defend themselves with their bikes' weapon systems.

"Sand Snake Set Four!" Throttle commanded when the enemy started to run away once noticing the Biker Mice getting up there. Before they landed, they jumped off their bikes and kicked the enemy to the ground. The Enemies' guns dropped down to the pass, when the males made sure their attackers stayed on the ground. They were wearing large robes that covered them wholly.

"This ain't no sand snake, bro! It's just a dirty old rat.." Modo growled while dropping one down. "Maan! These corsairs were supposed to be our allies!" Vinnie said while the males took the rats' hoodies off their faces, but Throttle wrapped one around the rat's neck and lifted him up in the air. "Now just who excused you sleaze balls onto us?!" He growled while being clearly angry. He held his right fist under the rat's neck, the Nuke Knucks glowing green. This all just took their time for nonsense to prevent them from getting to the general on time.

"I.. I don't know! It's just a voice.. Calls himself Deep Pocket.." The Rat whined under his grip before the commander threw him to Modo. "Now get these stinkin' rats back to base for the interrogation, okay bros?" Throttle said while jumping to sit on his bike. "You aren't going alone, are you?" Modo said a bit worriedly, making Throttle just chuckle. "Hey c'mon! What's a little grit in the gums when it comes to reeling in my girl! Carbine's life is on the line!" He said before dashing away, leaving his bros to just smirk at each other.

"You know I just gotta get me a girl.. He's having all the fun.." Vinnie smirked, making Modo chuckle. "What about Harley, huh? Or have you managed to mess up that too? Had been crashing someone's wedding lately again?" The Gray furred male grinned, making him snort and laugh. "Nah! Maybe I'd talk with her.. About serious stuff.." He smirked, making Modo smile before they turned to wrap the rats on the packet to get all of them to the base just by two of them.

"You, serious? Are you going to drop onto your knee in front of her this fast?" Modo chuckled while thinking about Jessica at the same time. "No no no no! Not that fast, bro! I mean.. Getting our relationship into the next level, yes, but.. We never made it clearly official for all, right?" He said, making the big gray nod at him. "Maybe you should learn from Throttle! He never announced anything, but is doing quite well, don't you think?" He said, making Vinnie smirk. "Yeah! I'm sure we'll be seeing their wedding first from our team.." He grinned, making Modo chuckle and nod before they started to head back to the base.

But at the deserts where Throttle was driving to get to his female, the sand storm was kicking up stronger, making his vision almost nonexistent. How would he get there on time? Would he even get there on time? Especially when he didn't know that something was lurking his movements under the ground..
