Author's pov:



The Martian school system meant that children between ages 7 to 15 went to the regular Martian school, before continuing to the second level that was up to the youngster's own decision whether they wanted to go to the Soldier training school. Which was the first level of their army career, not even sure would the army take them to the forces after all those three years of training first. Other options were occupational or private studies that gave the profession after 3-5 years of studying depending on what party got chosen.


And in that Martian school was biology lesson going on to a class that was rather wild, except one gray furred male student who sat at the second in the line, closest to the window. That young male was Modo, who was the most shy of them all back then. This memory takes time back over 15 years ago, when that nowadays known 30 years old Freedom Fighter was still just close to a teen age. He had listened carefully when the male teacher had started to teach about how the Martian mice's antennas worked. Even if the young male was shy, he was a sharp listener and a good student. He wrote some notes and listened to everything carefully while most of the class was just fooling around which got the teacher to shout at them many times.



But he would always remember the teacher's words about that lesson that would maybe someday save their lives if they knew how to use their antennas correctly. "The Antennas are the external parts of the brains, meaning without antennas, Martian mouse wouldn't survive alive" The Teacher had started the lesson, which Modo would remember causing some shivers to him. He had heard that the antennas on their heads were important, but he didn't know them that important. "But very talented users cannot only just handle the others' memories which comes with great responsibility, they can also handle their own brainwork! For example, wake up from a coma or any other kind of unconscious state if you know how to do it properly. It needs many years of practice to learn even to control your own, not even mentioning controlling another one!" The Male teacher had said while showing some pictures about how the antennas were connected to the brains and then he started to explain the different sections of brains.


"Of course we are not going to practice that yet since you are too young for it! But when you get older and go further with your career, you get many opportunities to practice safely. And you will also learn what's the meaning of the antennas in a relationship when you have found yourself a partner! For your good brainwork, make sure you read this chapter carefully for the test that's held when the Moon Phobos is full again!" The Teacher had said, making the class complain about it's only a couple of weeks away. Nowadays Modo still remembers getting full points from that test. But where was he now? Why did his right arm hurt so much? Or actually his right shoulder since the rest of it felt totally numb, like it wasn't even there..



"Remember to concentrate on your brainwork! Block everything else out and concentrate! If some of you have troubles with concentrating, I suggest to do some meditation first before getting into this" Had said a female teacher when Modo was older and had his first real brainwork practice lessons. He had managed to get his eyes open after being knocked out safely by his classmate to practice the brainwork for real. It was a few years later after Modo had first heard about how the antennas work and how important they really were.


"Well done, Modo! Now you can swap turns with your pair" The Teacher had said after Modo had woken up. He had felt a bit dizzy but it had been normal after that kind of experience for a beginner. It wasn't unusual to throw up either after that, which definitely got some of his classmates to do. But now he found himself laying somewhere unconscious and he needed to concentrate carefully to wake himself up again. This would be a life or death situation since he didn't actually remember what had caused him to be unconscious. He only remembered leaving the base with the other Biker Mice to pull a plug off the Tug Transformer. Had they failed doing it?



Modo heard himself groaning when he tried to open his eyes. He only managed to open his right eye that was glowing red while he noticed that he had actually lost his left eye. He was right about that his right arm had felt different. Where he used to have his own arm, was now a mechanical one instead of flesh and bones. "My arm.." He groaned while trying to lift it up and move his fingers. He was all tied against a table but he managed to pull his right hand free since the metal seemed to be much stronger against the bandages. He lifted his arm up, and saw a gun there on his arm, when he also saw Karbunkle standing there near his bros and a few other Martian soldiers that were all tied against tables. They seemed to have caught a few more somehow after them, since on the battlefield there weren't actually too many soldiers with their group, all thanks to Mace.


"Oh mama!" He said while still trying to get his head clear. It didn't take long when the evil scientist heard his movements too. The Scientist gasped and pressed an alarm that caused a few Plutarkian soldiers to run into the room immediately. Modo started to shoot at them right away with his new mechanical arm that had a gun on it. He defeated the soldiers fast while Karbunkle backed up against a wall. "You excuse me. I still have some lobotomies to perform!" He stuttered while Modo turned to point at him with his gun. Even he was surprised how quickly he managed to handle the gun on his arm, and even the mechanical arm itself too.



"Sorry doc.. You're going into practice.. Target practice!" Modo growled before shooting at him. The Evil Scientist barely managed to escape, but the laser managed to hit the controller that freed the Martians from the tables. "Back to headquarters! We'll be right behind you.." Modo helped the others out before walking to Vinnie who was still unconscious like Throttle. Or he, at least, seemed to be unconscious since his both eyes were wrapped up and he was breathing so calmly while laying there immobile. And since the commander didn't say anything, the big gray thought he hadn't woken up yet, even if he had thought he would be the first to wake up. Which was actually right. Throttle had cleared his mind first and had woken up, but he seemed to be too worried about his eyes that made him stay still and wonder about what had happened.




Vinnie's flashback: That same antenna themed biology lesson, but when he was in that age



"Listen! Listen up class!!" A Female teacher shouted while clapping her hands together loudly. He tried to get Vinnie's attention while he just joked about with other students, causing more chaos around the classroom. "Vincent!!" She shouted, making the white furred male blush and turn to look at her. "This lesson is about Martian mice's antennas. Can anyone tell me what they are for?" She asked, making Vinnie turn to the closest female students who sat next to him. "Surely the males have three of them.." He joked, making the females giggle at his words. And one of those females had actually been his first love who had unfortunately passed away in front of his eyes when the Plutarkians had started their invasion.



"Vincent! One more and you'll be meeting the headmaster!" The Teacher shouted at him, making him chuckle and sat formally to his place since he had had to lean towards the females. "Now, can anyone tell me what the antennas are for? Vincent?" The Female teacher said and he surely remembered he had answered something that included Martian mice's mating with the antennas, and even if that had been partly alright, he had told to go to the headmaster's office, which he clearly didn't want to go through now in his memories that he even saw all so sudden. But then the view changed which made Vinnie a bit relieved.


He was a bit older and it was time for the physical practice with the antennas. He had failed the practice and he had to be woken up by the teacher. That had made him feel very unclear and almost like drunk, not forgetting very awkward since this was the third time already and the others were much further than him on the brainwork studies. It was also the reason why the others had started to laugh at him, which he had hated more than anything else back then, and that kind of memories were still pretty painful to him to deal with. But the next words didn't belong to that lesson's teacher, or since when Modo had been his teacher?



"Come on, Vinnie! Nap time is over.. You're under anesthetic.." Modo said while the white furred male slowly opened his eyes to see Modo standing there next to him. He wasn't as talented as the big gray that came to the brain work and antennas, meaning that he once again felt himself, very unclear and drunk-like. "Nap time over?" He started while sitting up on the table. "It must be time to visit the little boy's room.. I hope I'm not too late!" He giggled while looking at his bro who just rolled his eyes for the view. Then he moved to Throttle who's both eyes were wrapped with bandages. Like he, so did Vinnie had his other eye wrapped too, or also the whole right side of his face. It wasn't still clear whether all three lost at least one eye but if they looked at all of their wounds, it was a miracle that they were even alive. Had Karbunkle only cured them to get fully healed and well armed, half mechanical army for their side? Or were there some other reasons for that too?




"Yes Throttle?" Said a female teacher after explaining the all sections of the brains and asking if anyone knew what the antennas were for. Young Throttle, at that age close to teenage, had raised his hand up immediately since he had actually read the chapter the previous day for the biology lesson that was held many many years ago. "They can be used to control memories, own or the others. Brainwork is a very advantaged but important talent to learn because it can save your life someday! It helps you to wake up from unconsciousness or any other state like that. You can even block other Martian's systems if they try to search through your brain! Martian mice wouldn't survive without antennas" Young Throttle answered the teacher's question, making the male students next to him just growl while females looked at him smiling.


The Teacher had nodded at him and told it was the right answer. He had also got full points from the physical practice and even helped the others to complete the practice back then. He had always been the best of the classes he had been, which unfortunately wasn't always just a good thing if there happened to be his bullies around, especially before he had got his muscles to defend himself and those who are important to him..



But now, even if he had got himself awakened already, he saw nothing but black, no matter how hard he tried. Soon he heard his bros talking near him which made him sure that he was actually awake. Why didn't he see anything? "Oh mama.. Last thing I need is a sedated smart-mouth.." Modo sighed while helping Throttle to sit up. The Commander felt his hand on his back which helped him to notice where his bros were. Vinnie got down from the table too while first checking if his feet actually carried him. The Tan furred male heard from his movements where the white furred male was since he was rather loud while getting down from the table. And if that didn't get heard by the enemies too, they must have probably gone deaf.



"Hey maan! What happened to my face?" Vinnie smirked while leaning against Modo. Throttle could also smell him being rather close to him while Modo helped him to get down from the table. He lifted his hand to Vinnie's face to fumble what he meant. "Well, maybe your right side looked at the other half and left!" Throttle joked, making both of them laugh while Modo just rolled his eyes. Two of the males continued joking while another Plutarkian soldier ran there which Modo shot down fast since he was the only clear minded there at the moment. These two were too fucked up to fight even against a Sand Raider who had both his hand tied behind his back and with no weaponry at all.


"Well, it's a good thing you are well armed.. Well armed!!" Vinnie said to Modo and started to laugh while still being clearly high. "Killing myself!" He laughed, making the gray furred male roll his eyes once again. "Not the last time I hear that joke.." He sighed before hearing their bikes trying to get themselves out from a storage room next door. He shot the door's lock to get the bikes to drive in front of their owners. Modo helped Throttle to sit down since the commander clearly didn't see anything, not even where his bike was. After sitting on his bike, Throttle tried to find the handlebars by fumbling.



"Oh, lights are out, bros.." He said, making Vinnie turn to look at him. "And nobody is home!" He said, making both of them start to laugh again while Modo started to unwrap Throttle's eyes' bandages. These two really needed some babysitting even if they were already 24 and 28 years old adults, or they were supposed to be. Wouldn't say it being right if seen how they acted now.. "Well hello, look who we see here huh.. Umm no.. Nope. Nothing. Nada.. Just as white as an Osmond in a snowstorm!" Throttle said after seeing all white, making Modo wrap the bandaged back around his head while the two light headed just laughed at his joke.



"I just wrote that bro!" Throttle joked while they were laughing. Modo crossed his arms while sighing deeply. He would have been sure that Throttle at least would have got his head clear, but neither did he know that the commander was joking around just to prevent him from mourning about losing his sense of seeing. And even if those jokes were very stupid and childish, he actually found it rather helpful for the moment since he was so devastated about his loss. He could always count on, especially sedated, Vinnie for what came to cheer him up!


"C'mon bros! That just isn't funny!" Modo growled, trying to get them even a bit sharper, but then he heard a familiar voice talking which made him turn around. "Actually, I think it's hysterical.." Stoker grinned while whipping his mechanical tail and having a gun in his left hand. His voice got all of their ears moving sharply, especially Throttle's since he saw nothing and had to trust his ears now more than ever. And not only the sense of hearing but his other senses too. Since he had always had a very good sense of smell, he could smell their mentor too, but for some reason the older male smelled a bit different now than usual. But because he didn't see anything, he wasn't sure what was the reason for it.



"Heyyyy Stokkeeer!!" Vinnie howled after seeing their mentor there. Modo sensed something different on him which made him take a few steps towards him to prevent him getting any closer to his bros. "I gotta tell you! Those Karbunkle's pillows were kinda great, but could just get a little softer bed.." Vinnie smirked, making Throttle laugh while leaning against his bike's handlebars with his hands. "Let's roll" Stoker ignored them totally while feeling a bit weird himself too. That made Throttle just sit straight and do the formal army greeting when Modo and Stoker turned to look at them.


"Stoker ta ta taa! My hero! You know man, I'd rather be rescued by you than the bravest mouse on Mars! Which happens to be.. Me!" He said, making Vinnie laugh so badly he barely even managed to sit properly on his bike. Modo sighed deeply before turning back to their mentor. "Sorry.. They're still half gas.. What's the plan?" Modo said while the other two were still laughing badly. "Out the back.. Leave the bikes.. Our chances are better without them!" Stoker pointed behind him, while Modo walked to sit on his bike and they started their engines. That made Modo doubt him more while Vinnie and Throttle just continued joking around.



"Leave our bikes.." Vinnie chuckled before Throttle continued. "Hey hey! Why not just leave our right arms well around? Oh sorry.. Sorry bro!" He said while he and the white furred male continued laughing again. If they didn't do any workout at all, that amount of laughing would also have been likely the reason for their abs. "Our bikes go where we go, Stoker. You know that" Modo said after rolling his eyes again. The Brown furred male thought for a moment before pointing at another door. "Down the lift then.." He said, making the males drive the way he pointed. Neither of them three saw him lift his gun towards their backs.


"Arrivederci, comrades.." He said just before they heard a loud crash behind them. Carbine had found her way to the laboratory, but managed to get one level above it accidentally, which meant that she jumped through a window to land just in front of her own uncle. "Put the gun down, Stoker!" She shouted while pointing at him with her gun, making him drop his own down before lifting his hands up into the air. "Heyyy Carbinee! Dropping in, huh? So good to see you!" Throttle said, making him and Vinnie laugh again.



"Stoker's been brainwashed.." Carbine said, making Vinnie continue. "I always knew he had a dirty mind!" He said, making them laugh again while Modo got up from his bike and walked to the female general. "Wait a minute? The Leader of the Resistance.. Fighting for the fish-heads, huh?" He asked, making the black haired general nod. "And your mind was next on the laundry list.." She turned to look at him for a second, but during that Stoker wrapped his mechanical tail around her waist and lifted him against him, a gun against her head. Her gasp got Throttle's ears moving sharply and he got worried about her wellbeing.


"Relax, or she's history!" He growled while the female groaned since the grip was too tight. "She's your own niece! But if he, one of the most talented Martian brain users, is really brainwashed, we need to be really careful what comes to Karbunkle.. He must not be underestimated!" Modo thought while growling. Stoker didn't seem to remember anything, did he? "You yellow whiskered traitor!" Modo ended up growling, but then Carbine shouted at them. "It can't happen! It's the Mind Bender Beam.." She groaned while the Biker Mice got up from their bikes. "To Storage room, now!" Stoker commanded, making the males lift their hands up in the air and obey. Throttle seemed to finally understand how serious the situation was since he nor Vinnie didn't joke anymore. Even Vinnie was trying his best to get his head clear.



But when the Biker Mice had walked to the storage, Stoker was about to put Carbine there too when Rimfire jumped behind him with flips and lifted a gun towards him. "Hold the door please! Let her go, Stoker or I'll perform a little laser surgery! Amateur laser surgery!" He growled while hitting the general's back with his gun. Carbine started to wiggle herself free but then Stoker unwrapped his tail and dropped his gun to lift his hands up in the air. That made the light gray furred female grab the weapon and move behind her uncle to point at him with the purple gun.


The Biker Mice got out of the storage before Carbine and Rimfire forced Stoker to get in there. Modo closed the door while Carbine made sure it got locked before she walked to the young male. "Rimfire! You have noxious habit of disobeying direct orders!" She growled at him, making him throw his hands up in the air. "Yeah well I.." He started but soon felt the female's hand on his head before she gently patted it. "The Sign of a good Freedom Fighter!" She smiled at him, making him smile back at her, before they headed to the Biker Mice's bikes. The General sat behind Throttle while Rimfire sat behind Vinnie.



"The Plutarkians will be all over the headquarters like stink on a fish, now their cover's blown!" Modo said while they put their helmets on. "Let's rock.." He started when crashed through the windows. "And ride!!" The Trio shouted in unison, forming their new battle cry. "Heyy! Catchy phrase!" Vinnie smirked, but then Rimfire talked. "Where we come up with an enemy company.." He said when someone started shooting at them. "Guidelines bro.. Still see snow here.." Throttle sighed while Carbine was driving his bike, her hands went under his arms.


"Sand raiders!" She said while looking at him worriedly. He clearly didn't see a thing, but wrapped his tail around her waist, a bit tighter than normally, making her wrap her tail around his too. He wanted to be sure she really was there, while she proved it to him, also making him feel a bit better. "C'moon! I can do Sand raiders with both eyes tied behind my back!" He smirked while turning on his Nuke Knucks. "You call it, lady!" He said, and just when they were in the right spot, she shouted and he punched the enemy with a perfectly aimed punch.



"Vinnie, you back to normal?" Rimfire asked while Vinnie got squatted on his bike, making Rimfire grab the handlebars. "Better.. Much better!" Vinnie said while doing a high front flip to take down another Sand raider. "The Fight in a battle clears out foggy head!" He howled before noticing that he was standing between two armed Sand raiders without any weapons. But when they started to shoot at him, Rimfire caught him with perfect timing, making the white furred male just howl loudly.


While Modo jumped down a wall with his bike, he shot a Sand raider car that was chasing Throttle and Carbine. The Explosion surprised the commander, making him dodge too roughly but Carbine helped him to save the situation just in time before they would have fallen over. "Are you alright, babe?" She asked, but then noticed someone shooting at them again. "Sniper!" She shouted, making Rimfire jump off Vinnie's bike to kick the sniper down from a booth on the wall. "To be honest.. Could be better but I'm fine.." Throttle answered to her while she helped him to drive next to Vinnie's bike, just before Rimfire jumped to sit behind the white furred male.



"We're out of here!" Rimfire shouted, but then the general talked. "That's only six down! I counted.." She started but Vinnie beat the last enemy on their way. "Seven?" He grinned, making the female laugh and nod. They continued driving somewhere safe while at the same time in the Karbunkle's lab, Stoker broke himself free from the storage room by using his mechanical tail, just to see the Plutarkian leader walking there with a few soldiers and Karbunkle.


"Master.. They've.." He started but Dominic T. Stilton finished his sentence. "Escaped.. Hmm.. So Karbunkle informed me.. I want you, my Trusted Turncoat, to go and bring them back.." He grinned after rubbing his jaw a bit. "Dead! Or alive.." He continued while Stoker walked to the broken window to see the escapers driving near the horizon.




When he looked at the horizon he felt his vision changing again while hearing his new leader and his underlings leaving for other rooms. Karbunkle left to check the damage in his lab while Stilton demanded the Sand Raiders to get ready to leave with Stoker. Then he went to his own office to see if his monitor was already fixed after he had personally thrown the remote through it. But while Stoker thought he was looking at the escapers in the horizon, he actually saw the same young creamish furred female again.


"Of course I want you to meet her! Even if she's 12 years younger than me, she's my sister! And if my sister doesn't accept you, then we have a problem" The Female giggled while holding the male's hand. They seemed to be 17 and 19 years old when they walked towards a kindergarten from where the female had promised to pick up her 5 year old sister. In Mars, children between the ages of 3 to 6 went to kindergarten while the ones under that age needed to be taken care of at home.



"But.. What about your parents? We have been dating for nearly two years and still haven't met them.." Stoker wondered while the female opened the outdoor gate. "Nah! It's alright! My sister's more important since my parents complain about everything I do.. Especially when it comes to my style or the mice I hang around with.." She laughed, making the male roll his eyes and sigh. "Like that would help.." He said, getting the female to turn around and grab both of his hands in hers now. "Hey.. Trust me, right?" She smiled, making him smile and nod. Then before she headed to the building, she smooched him quickly, making him smile even wider while dropping down his ears.


"Heyyy! Is everything ready here?" The Female sweet talked while squatting down when they entered the small building that looked like it was a private kindergarten for the children of the mice that seemed to have no problems at all to pay for it. "Yes, Lady Niv! Sweet little Harley just couldn't wake up from the nap easily.. A Bit sleepy headed still, but ate alright today" The Nanny smiled politely while handing her her sister's backpack. She put it on her back while helping her little sister to put her shoes on. "Who are you?" Young Harley pointed at Stoker who gently smiled at her. "A Special friend who I'm going to introduce to you soon! C'mon, let's get to the playground!" Niv smiled while taking her sister's hand in hers before saying goodbye to the nanny while Stoker held the door for them.



"I'd carry the backpack.." He said while closing the gate after they had got out of the kindergarten front yard. "Nah, I can do it.. My sister's never too much for me!" She smiled while tickling her sister's cheeks, making the young brown furred female giggle while trying to pull her hand free from her sister's. "You seem to be close with her?" Stoker smiled for the view while wrapping his tail around her mechanical one, which made her blush and nod.


"We are! Even if.. When she was just born.. I.. I was horrible to her.." She sighed deeply while they entered the playground that was along with the park, close to the kindergarten. "That's understandable.. I have two older brothers, from which one's half related, and also had one older sister! I'm the youngest of us.. Just imagine what I have gone through.." He threw his arms into the air, making the female giggle. They walked to the sand box which made Harley pull her hand free more eagerly. But Niv just lifted her up to kiss her cheek, making the child giggle in her arms. "Alright alright! Just wait a bit!" Niv laughed while letting her go which meant running right away to the sand box. "How old was she again?" Stoker asked while they sat on a bench next to the box. They didn't have any outdoor toys with them unfortunately, but someone seemed to have forgotten their toy bike there, which seemed to be more interesting to Harley than Niv's new friend.



"Five.." Niv said while following her sister to play with the toy bike. "Ain't she too heavy to be still lifted up?" Stoker lifted up his other eyebrow but soon received a punch to his biceps. "Since when have you known things like that, Youngest from four?" She said, making the male laugh. "Sorry.. Maybe I don't have the right to judge.. Just asked!" He said while lifting his hands up in the air, making the female chuckle and shook her head. "She might be.. But we both like that.. Even if I was in my 80s, I would still lift her up and carry her around.." She sighed while the male clearly saw her loving her sister after all. He lifted his hand over her shoulders, making her blush and lean against him. But that got noticed by the younger female.


"Me too!" She hurried to get up and started to run to her sister, but clumsily dripped over to the edge of the sand box. "Oh Harleyy.. Sweetie, don't cry.. It's alright!" Niv hurried to pick her up after noticing the child getting a small scratch to her other hand and had started sobbing. She sat back on the bench while Stoker grabbed the toy bike before sitting down again too. "Look what I got!" He smiled at the younger female, making Niv act surprised for the child about the toy while she tried to clean the wound without her sister paying attention to it. "Oh, Look!" She pointed at it, while Stoker drove with it along his leg. That made Harley laugh before she turned to look at Stoker. "Who are you?" She asked while looking at the young male who seemed to be very interested.



"My name is Stoker. I'm your sister's.. Umm.." The Brown furred male smiled while turning to look at Niv for some help before he gently shook the child's hand. That made her just glare at him while pulling her hand away. "Stoker's my boyfriend! What do you think about him, Harley?" Niv asked while looking at her sister with a smile on her face. "Stupid! Stupid Stoke!" She blurted out, making the couple laugh and turn to look at each other understandingly. But when Niv was about to lift her other hand on Stoker's tight while still having her sister on her lap, and the male continued playing with the toy bike, as a try to win the child to his side, they heard a voice near them that made Niv's eyes widen up and gasp.



"A Boyfriend? And why haven't me and your mother heard about it before?" Said a male near his forties, while having both his hands on his waist. "Fa!!" Harley shouted immediately when he heard their father's voice. That made Niv slowly lift her sister down before the young Harley, nowadays known as a very fine mechanic and nurse, ran to the male while giggling happily. And that male was nowadays known as the Commander in Chief, who unfortunately still hasn't woken up from coma.


Niv just gulped deeply while awkwardly laughing, trying to think about how to solve the situation right. Stoker gulped too since he hadn't prepared to meet neither of her parents at the same time as her sister, since they had planned to do it slowly and when it felt alright for both of them. During those two years of dating, she hadn't yet met his family either, but it would happen for both of them now sooner than they had expected or even ready..



Why was Stoker seeing these scenes now? What they meant and who he really was after all? Why couldn't he remember anything else from his past life than that exact creamish furred female who had the snow white Mohawk with the red stripe in front of it, not even forgetting her mechanical tail and multiple piercings.. Her name seemed to be Niv if according to those memories, but who and where was she now?




In the Freedom Fighters' headquarters, under the Serene Monastery



"Your transmission's breaking up, Modo!" Harley said while having a hard time trying to hear what Modo said on their radio call. "Evacuate the headquarters! Now!" He demanded, making the brown furred female gasp. "Evacuate?!" She wasn't sure she had heard him correctly. "Headquarters is no longer secure. Mace and Stoker are enemy agents!" He explained as fast as he could, but the female couldn't keep on. "Mace, Stoker?" She said, but the male repeated his words fast. "Evacuate now!! Meet us at the post 14" He managed to say just before three Plutarkian spaceships started to shoot towards the building, making the female gasp and cover her head with her hand since some pieces from the roof started to drop down.


"Harley? Harley!!" Modo gasped when the connection got shut down. "Transmission's dead.." Modo growled which made Vinnie growl too while they were heading to the next base. They were driving along a valley where there were lots of dead trees before the landscape turned to more canyon-like. "If Stoker creases one of Harley's whiskers, he's gonna be sand squid sushi.." Vinnie growled angrily while being clearly worried about the female.



Inside the monastery were a lot of monks still living there since they never wanted to leave the place. It didn't take long for Mace, Stoker and Sand raiders to blow up a wall and part of the flooring too. They used bombs that made the monks gasp and escape wherever they could. "Aaah! Serene Monastery.. But instead of a sanctum.. we find a war room.. How ironic!" Mace grinned after they saw many layers down the building and from the bottom of it, under the ground was the Freedom Fighters' hideout, where they landed by using some robes. But instead of all of them going there, Stoker took some of the sand raiders with him to go round across the enemy.


"The Compound's breached! Evacuation 14!" Harley commanded the four other soldiers while shooting at the enemy, trying to buy them some time and protect the others. "Go!!" She shouted, making the males run before she started to follow them too. But when she was heading to a tunnel and saw the Sand Raiders and Mace there, she noticed a ring on the orange furred male's finger. That exact ring had a snake on it. "Mace, a rat?! While I'll be up to a Plutarkian posterior!" She growled, making the male grin. "Here's a token of my true feelings, Muppet mice!" He shouted before shooting Harley to her left shoulder, making her groan in pain. But when she escaped to the tunnel, she threw a grenade to it, making it collapse right after her, to block the way to the enemy.



That made Mace only laugh and imitate the female. "On her way to her reunion with her old boyfriend! Oh Stoker, you have changed!" He said, making him and the Sand raiders laugh. While at the other side of the escaping tunnel, Harley and the soldiers got to their bikes, but when he opened the secret entrance, they saw Stoker and the other Sand Raiders standing there.


"Going somewhere?" Stoker grinned, before he noticed the female. For a moment he saw Niv standing there, but then his view changed and he was looking at Harley instead. "Ni.. Harley?" He said, making the female walk to him. "Stoker.. I know that mind of yours.. It's too stubborn to get brainwashed!" She growled at him, making him mumble her name again and think about the situation more. "Harley.." He just looked at her walking back to her bike before she left with the other soldiers. When a Sand raider was about to shoot at them, Stoker punched his hand away, making him shoot towards the roof. "No!!" He shouted, but then saw Mace walking there with the other Sand raiders.



"Allowing the enemy to escape is treason, mouse! Maybe another session with a Mind Bender Beam would rekindle your spy patriotism.." Mace growled while crossing his arms. "You see, that's why rats are second class vermin! They think with their tails!" Stoker growled while walking to the device monitor that was in the evacuation bike storage. "Freedom Fighter bikes are equipped with tracking transceivers! Our little runaway will lead us directly to the rest of the resistance.. Then we'll destroy them all!" He said while starting to track down the female's group's bikes that were heading straight towards post 14 that Modo had told them to go.



"I know you would never hurt my sister, Stoker.. Harley's everything to me.. If something happens to her.. I'd.. I'd sacrifice my life for her!" He heard Niv's voice in his mind while tracking down the escapers. "Niv.." He noticed himself saying her name in his mind which made him stop his doings for a moment. That made Mace punch his side with a gun that caused him to groan and continue. "Get them dead or alive!" He heard Stilton's voice inside of his head which made him growl and move the bikes' signals to the spaceships' devices before they started to head back to them.


"Stoker.. I love you.. More than anything! So yes, I'd love to marry you!" He heard Niv saying with full of love in her voice, which made him stop right there at the entrance of the spaceship. When he had proposed to her and where? Or even how? "Is there any problems.." Mace growled, making him lift his head up when he noticed himself looking down at the flooring. "I think we should use bikes.. They'll notice these ships immediately.." He said, making the rat start to think about it for a moment while rubbing his jaw.



"Alright.. But I'll go with you.. Just to make sure you don't turn your coat again.." He growled, making Stoker grin while they got everything ready to catch the escapees. "Stoker! It's a girl! We're going to have a daughter!" He heard Niv saying in his mind which made him sigh deeply. He was getting his memories back, but only those that included his wife. Why just those? What did all of this mean? What was he supposed to do next? What was the right thing to do?
