46: How to save water?

Author's pov:



"N- Niv..? NIV?!!" Stoker gasped before he ran to hug her while she started to run into his arms immediately being sure it really was him. She jumped into his arms while crying. "Is it really you?!" She cried while hugging him tightly. "Yes, I am! But how.. what.. when?!" Stoker fussed while hugging and checking if she was alright after lifting her carefully down. "What has happened.. Why do you look so.. Old.." She asked, making him drop his ears down. "In a good way! But.. Why do you look like I have time traveled and you are now over your forties.." She asked while sniffing him to be sure it was really her husband. Even if they had been apart for so long, she would always notice him anywhere. They were married after all and shared quite a deep connection.



"Umm.. Niv, honey.. I.." Stoker started to say but then Modo walked to them. "I heard from Vinnie that you were going to check the safety situation? Is everything alright? Oh, who's this beautiful female?" Modo asked politely while nodding to Niv who just stared at him for a while. "Safety situation? So the Civil War is still ongoing.." She sighed while turning to look at Stoker, but then Modo turned to look at her and then him. "Civil war? But it ended over a decade ago.." He looked at the female confused while Stoker tried to hush him away without Niv noticing it.


"Niv.. Let's go to see the doctor.. There is some news you need to hear.." He said before turning to the male. "Tell Throttle to ask about the situation. Meet me later" He said, but when he was about to walk the female away, she hurried to Modo. "Are you Modo?" She asked, her eyes widened, making Stoker run to her.




"No! Niv! We need to go!" He was about to panic but then saw Jessica walking to them too. "Jessica, call the nurses, say it's a Stoker's emergency!" He said, making Jessica do as told to her radiophone she carried in her purse just in case. "Yes?" Modo said without getting Stoker's growl as a hint to not say it. "W- What.. What has happened.." Niv took a step back while lifting her hands to her chest. "Niv, is everything alright?!" Stoker started to panic when he saw his wife trembling. "Over here!" Jessica shouted to the nurses to run to them straight from the main entrance. That also made Throttle and Carbine run to them.


"What is happening here? Who is this female?" Throttle asked, while the creamish furred female turned to look at the black haired general. "You must be Carbine.. Ughh.." Niv said while looking at the female. "Lady Niv! We thought it was alright for you to attend the party for a moment, but I see it was too early.. Come on here, we'll check you again.." The Nurses ran to them and one of them wrapped a blanket over her shoulders. She was wearing black leather jacket and black leather pants with boots on after she had got out of the hospital, but neither of them had been sure how she would react to hear that she had been in a coma for over 14 years.



"Is everything alright?" Stoker asked, making one of the nurses turn to look at him. "You can come with us. The Doctor is alarmed and waiting in your wife's room already.. We don't know yet but we'll soon find out! Please this way" She said, making the male follow them immediately when they ran out of the arena and straight away to the hidden underground entrance that led straight to the hospital.


"Wife?!" They all gasped while just standing there, looking at the Biker Mice's mentor and Carbine's uncle leaving with the nurses and the new female they had never seen before. "Since when Stoker had had a wife?" Jessica asked, making them all just look at each other confused. "You didn't know either?" Throttle looked at Carbine who shook her head, her eyes widened. "No.. Definitely not.." She gulped while looking at all of them.




In the hospital



"What?!" Niv gasped while backing her back against the wall after getting up from her bed while trying to process what the doctor had carefully explained to her. "Yes.. You were in a coma for over 14 years.. And that current war ain't the civil war that was going on when you got injured.. A Planet called Plutark attacked us a few years ago.." The Doctor repeated carefully while the nurse wrote down the information about the female. She was otherwise alright, but processing everything and the mind work would take some time.


"What is safe to tell her and what not?" Stoker asked while standing next to another nurse who was preparing some relaxing herb mix for the female. "According to the doctor, we'll see how she reacts to this news.." She whispered to him while they carefully looked at the female in shock before handing the herb mix to her which she drank at once. It made her twitch her nose a bit since it tasted a bit bad, but it would affect her soon. And it wasn't clear either which one of them was more in shock, the Silver Star General or the Sniper.



"What happened.. Why.. Why was I in a coma for that long.." Niv asked while her whole body was trembling again. She had taken her jacket off while being wrapped around the blanket when they got back to the hospital. "What do you remember?" The Doctor asked while nodding to Stoker to step closer to them. It took a while for the female to try to remember anything. "I.. We.. Our group was getting back home through the desert.. The Saber Squids attacked and we.. We got away? I remember there was still.. Lune and Lucas left with us.." She said before getting a straight flashback to that day.


"The Royal family is more important!! Make sure Spitfire gets a good life with her parents!" Lune had shouted after she had pushed her aside to save her from the creatures which had caught her friend instead of her. "So three of us left.. I'll cover both of you if anything happens!" Lucas had said when three of them tried to get forward in the Sand Storm. She could still hear her shouting her late friends names and their terrified screams before they had been taken away. "Lucas but your dreams.. About leading Mars someday.." Stoker had said while they had continued running. The Guns that were still left, had lacked the lasers because of their last fight before the Saber Squids had arrived from under the ground.



"No big deal what comes to you.. You three will lead it someday when she carries the crown.." Lucas had smiled at them, making Niv nod and smile weakly back at him while still crying. But then there was another Saber Squid attack underneath when they were running, and this time a huge tentacle had thrown the last female into the air, making her scream. That memory made her start crying while collapsing onto the flooring. "NIV!!" Stoker had shouted back then like he did now too when he ran to her.


"I remember.. There were only three of us left.." She cried in his arms when he wrapped them around her. "Leave her alone!!" Stoker could still remember himself shouting while grabbing his gun and throwing it straight towards the Saber Squids, hitting straight towards one head. The Creature turned around while shaking the hurt head. "Over here!!" Stoker and Lucas had started to shout when they had seen Niv falling onto the sand behind the creature. "My wife is more important to our daughter.. Let's distract that thing so she can reach the town.." Stoker remembered himself saying, getting Lucas nod before they had started running to get the creature to chase them immediately.



"Lady Niv, you had got badly poisoned to your lower back, meaning your mechanical tail that also got damaged from the Saber Squid's bite, had stopped working which caused you to fall into a coma.. It was an honest miracle that you woke up, even if it took 14 years" The Doctor explained while Stoker cried against her snow white hair that didn't look like a Mohawk for now, it had grown and was long all way to her elbows, the red stripe was almost gone, but it would still be recognizable.


"Poisoned? My.. My tail.." She sobbed while turning around her new tail that was working like it should be. "Where did you get me a new one? Dan passed away a couple of years after my last appointment.. He couldn't have made this one and I would recognize his hand work anywhere.." She said, making Stoker sigh deeply while crying. "I have a lot to tell you.. But it's gonna take some time.." He said, making the female bury her face to his chest. "Lady Niv.. Your recovery will take time, and you need to understand that every reaction is normal for this kind of situation.." The Doctor said, making her turn to look at him before nodding.



"The Main thing for now is that you are back, and we are happy to welcome you back to us" The Nurse smiled warmly while helping her to get up from the floor with Stoker's help too. "14 years.. That's a lot.. No wonder why you look so old.." She smiled at her husband, making him chuckle before smiling, but then she realized that she had also gotten older during that time even if her mind wasn't the same way. She ran to the closest mirror to look at herself. "No.." She turned to look down at the flooring while sobbing.


"Honey, you look beautiful.." Stoker said while walking to her, making her sigh and smile at him weakly. "I need to get my hair fixed.." She said before seeing the doctor nod at the nurse who left for the other room to get something, or someone. "This might not be a hair salon, but since this is also the evacuation center.." The Doctor started before someone entered the room with the nurse. "Hair Stylist Mora, nice to meet you, your Highness" Young female greeted her formally, making her smile a bit.



"Hey, please ignore me looking like total shit.." She sighed, making the nurses gasp. "Lady Niv!" They turned to look at each other while Stoker just chuckled. "Well excuse me if my manners are a bit rusty after 14 years.." She chuckled, making the male laugh. "Like they were the best back then either!" He said, making her laugh and nod at him before she sat on a chair and the stylist got to work the way she told her to bring her Mohawk back to its glory. The Red stripe she would get back there later but for now on she needed to get rid of the extra hair that had grown there during her being in a coma. The Mohawk had been her style for many years back then, and she still liked it so much she couldn't imagine any other style for her to have yet. But this time the Mohawk got a bit shorter than it was before the horrifying accident.




Back to the party



"Old Timer has a wife?!" Vinnie gasped while taking down another shot around their table they had sat around with their group. "Yeah.. Just found out about that too.." Throttle said while gently rubbing Carbine's back since she seemed to be more devastated than the others about the news. "Why hasn't he told me.. After all these years.." She wondered, but then they heard Jessica sighing deeply. "Don't you tell me you already knew.." She said while turning to look at the chestnut furred female.


"Why didn't you tell us?!" Throttle gasped, but then they saw Stoker walking back to them with the same female who now looked a bit different since her hair wasn't that long anymore and they were all spiky Mohawk. "Jessica was one of my wife's nurses, meaning that she couldn't tell you anything.. Don't blame her" Stoker said while pulling a seat for his wife before sitting down next to her. Jessica just smiled a bit to the general who nodded to her. Then she turned her head away, which seemed a bit suspicious for Carbine who saw it happening.



"So? This is your wife?" Carbine crossed her arms, making Stoker glare at her. "Yeah.. But you all need to behave, I'm gonna introduce you all now and then explain the situation.." He said while they all could now see his hair looked a bit different too since he had pulled them aside from his left antenna, revealing his silver wedding ring as well as Niv's was shown in her left antenna too. "This is Niv, my wife for over 20 years" He started, but then let her talk since she lifted her hand to his tight, making him stop talking.


"I know this might be a big shock to you all.. Especially for you four" She started while looking at the Biker Mice and Carbine, making them look even more confused since she seemed to know them while they didn't know her at all. "But believe me.. I'm more shocked than you.. I just heard that I have been in a coma for 14 years.. And this war.. Ain't the same any more than it was back then.." She sighed deeply, making them all drop down their ears since they had been too harsh for her. They looked at each other for a moment, and agreed that the situation was more than odd, but they weren't the one who needed an explanation now the most.



"You know us?" Throttle asked while pointing at four of them, making her nod. "You were just young children when I heard about you from Stoker.. So seeing you now adults is.. Very weird.." She said, making them smile and nod to her. "So, these are Commander Throttle and his female and also my niece, General Carbine. Soldiers Vinnie and Modo and Modo's female Jessica, who also was one of your nurses" Stoker explained, making her greet each of them, just before Vinnie blurted out while being already drunk.


"Soldiers?! Only? Did you already forget that we are Freedom Fighters nowadays.." He chuckled, making the creamish white furred female turn to look at her husband. "Freedom Fighters?" She said, but then Throttle talked. "Should you show her what has happened? It might help to process everything.." He suggested, making the female nod already while the Silver Star General doubted the idea. But then sighed deeply and turned to his wife before they placed their antennas together.



Even if he showed her almost everything that had happened during that time, it took only a few minutes before they leaned back to sit properly on their seats. She sighed deeply while leaning against her forehead to her hand, her elbow on the table. He lifted his hand on her shoulder to pet it gently. "It's alright.. Take your time.." He said, making her turn to look at him from the corner of her green eyes. "That actually helped.. Seeing everything from your point of view.. But the healing process will still take time.. Not sure which one of those was more shocking to see.." She said, making them nod understandingly to her.


"But it's so nice to meet you finally.. I'm sorry I was too harsh for you.." Carbine said, making the female smile and nod to her. "It's alright.. But I'd like to know something more.. Whose idea was it to have the party in this place?" She said, making them all turn to look at Stoker, which made her giggle and roll her eyes. "Of course.. Such a stupid question.." She said while tapping his tight a couple of times, making him blush a bit before rolling his eyes.



"Oh.. Someone seems to drink my glass empty again.. Need to get it refilled.." Vinnie broke the silence while getting up clumsily. "Hey.. You are that male I saw from Stoker's memories being around my sister very often.." Niv started, getting Stoker's eyes widened when Vinnie froze to his place before turning around to look at her. "What? You're Harley's sister?!" He gasped, making them all turn to look at her again.


"Yeah.. Where is she anyway?" Niv asked while turning to look around. The Place was full of Martians and most looked new to her. Maybe some of them had just grown up or then there were also some that she had never met earlier either, but as well as her husband, she would always recognize her family members no matter how many years had passed, meaning that she noticed Harley wasn't there. "Didn't Old Timer tell you?" Vinnie mumbled when he leaned against Throttle's shoulder since he had some hard time staying on his feet while being so drunk. He got glared at by Carbine but he didn't care at all or even look at her since this was more interesting now.



"Tell me what? Where is she? I want to see my sister!" She said while smiling and still looking around, still trying to find Harley even if she was quite sure she wasn't there. Maybe she was behind someone, since she didn't see all of the faces from there. The Arena's ruins were full off with the rest of the Martian population, meaning almost everyone. They all dropped their ears down while Stoker formed with his mouth that 'don't tell her the truth' but since Vinnie was that drunk already, he couldn't read it at all. He was about to spit it out but Throttle got up from his seat and lifted his hand on the male's mouth. "Your glass was empty, right Vincent?" He said while nodding to Carbine to help him to get Vinnie out there before he would blurt the truth to the female.


"Well that was weird? But where's Harley?" Niv asked, making Stoker gulp. "She's.." He started, but then Jessica talked fast. "She just left to get more drinks since these sponges would drink everything, by only four of them!" She panicked, making the males nod fast at her. "When will she come back?" Niv smiled and nodded, making her shrug. "I'm not sure.. She took a couple of others with her since the storage is a bit far away from here.." She said, but then Stoker continued. "But they are supposed to get back soon!" He said, making Modo glare at both of them since he didn't like any kind of lies at all. He was even more surprised about Jessica lying to her too. Why did she do that?



"Unfortunate.. But I'll meet her at once when she comes back!" She smiled before seeing the couple and Vinnie walking back. "Here, I thought you would want to have something to drink.. No worries, it's just juice since I thought alcohol wouldn't be good after.." Carbine said, making her smile and nod formally when she took the drink from her. "Thank you.. So polite" She said, making her smile back at her when they sat around the table.


"Should I get something to eat for you, dear?" Stoker asked, making her nod while smiling. "I can come too.." She said, making him shake his head. "No need, I still remember your taste, just wait here for a moment. I'll be right back!" He smiled, making her sigh and roll her eyes. "So.. Niv.. Want to tell us about how Stoke got himself a female like you?" Throttle asked but then groaned when Carbine poked his side with her elbow.



"That's alright.. But shortly told.. I accidentally shot him.." She chuckled, making them all turn to look at each other before turning to look at her again. "Well that's a story I want to hear!" Modo chuckled, making her nod. "I'm a sniper.. Best, or used to be best back then.. And I was in a lesson when Stoker tried to sneak to look at what we were made off.." She laughed, making them laugh too. "And I still have that scar on my left thigh from that!" Stoker added when he came back to hear all the gossip about him after he had just turned his back to them. "You own fault!" Niv laughed while he handed the plate full of food in front of her. Her eyes widened since the food looked more delicious than she could have even expected.


"I would do it again anytime.." He smooched her cheek, making her chuckle. "So one female isn't enough for you?" She smirked, making him blush while the others started to laugh. "I see what you see in her!" Throttle laughed, but then felt a sharp glare from next to her. "Too old for you, Throttle.." Carbine crossed her arms, making them laugh. "Well thanks! It takes time to get used to the fact that I'm no longer 26, but now 39.." She chuckled, making Stoker lift his other arm on her shoulders. "You mean 40, my dear!" He rubbed her arm, making her glare at him. "Well thanks.. Ain't any better.." She said before starting to eat. Stoker smiled right away when he could see from her expression that she enjoyed the food very much, but the next voice took his smile away as fast as it had come.



"But ain't that the Silver Star General Stoker himself?!" They heard a voice behind them, making them turn to look at the comer who walked to them while they continued talking and introducing themselves to Niv. "Mago.. How nice to see you.." Stoker said while getting up to greet the light gray furred female with brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a blue shirt under a light brown leather vest and green military pants with boots. "Don't flatter, Stoker.. We both know that's not true.." She chuckled while nodding to him half formally.


"What do you want?" He said while sitting back next to his wife who got totally ignored by the brown haired female. "What do I want? Hah! Are you seriously asking me that now?!" She laughed sarcastically, making the general cross his arms while the others turned to look at the female now too. "Mago, explain yourself.. You are one of the generals too.. Why so angry all of a sudden?" Carbine asked politely while looking at her superior. General Mago was almost as well known as General Stoker all over the planet, not just in the military forces. They had also been rivals for a long time if asked from her, but he hadn't never quite agreed to that.



"Dear little Carbine.. Don't stick your nose to what you know nothing about.." She answered coldly, making her growl and twitch her nose which Stoker and Throttle both noticed right away. "It's about that news, I assume.." Stoker turned to look at the other general again. "Yes!! Finally your brain seems to work again!" She said while grabbing a seat for herself to join them, but that made Niv growl now which Jessica and Carbine both noticed. She had also stopped eating and was now just glaring at the general deathly.


"How dare you refuse to become the next Commander in Chief?! I just can't believe from you that you prefer to be a traitor more than the next highest leader of the Military forces! You seriously can't believe either that your little playdate group of Freedom Fighters would take you anywhere higher on the ranks!" Mago growled, making Niv's eyes widen up, but instead of saying anything yet, she decided to listen to them a bit more. "What do you care about that? They wanted you to fill that title after I had refused the offer.." Stoker growled, making his wife turn to look at him now in a shock.



"Exactly!! AFTER you! I don't want any leftovers, especially from you!!" The Brown haired female growled, making the male only chuckle. "Why don't you just enjoy the party, ma'am? Like we all are trying.." Modo asked politely, making the female just chuckle. "Oh dear Modo.. Follow your bros' lead and stay silent.. What a surprise, isn't it really?" She hushed him, making Jessica and Carbine growl at her now too. "Mago, manners.." Stoker growled, making her just roll her eyes.


"That's it! Your nature.. I just simply can't stand it! Even if you aren't part of the army anymore, you still boss everyone around! Just take the offer then if you want to lead the place!! But don't even think that I'd follow you!" She shouted, making him just roll his eyes and chuckle. "What'd you do then if you don't want to follow me.." He asked curiously while still having his arms crossed.



"There are still many other planets left than Mars.. Maybe I'll find another liveable place!" She smirked, but then they all jumped a bit when Niv had got up and slammed her hands against the table, making some of their drinks drip over. "ENOUGH!!" She raised her voice while looking at the female angrily. "And what have I done to get your whiskers tighter, Miss? What's with that crest anyways.." Mago just chuckled while looking at her hair, which she found weird looking, making the creamish white furred female walk over the table and pull her seat under it to turn her around with only her mechanical tail. That surprised even Throttle and the others but they decided to stay silent for their own safety. Even drunken Vinnie was at least once quiet during his life.



"Lady Niv.. Doctor told you to take it easy.." Jessica reminded her but she just lifted her hand up in the air to stop her from talking, which just made Stoker chuckle while following the scene curiously. "And what do you think you are doing?" Mago growled after being turned around by force. "I should ask you the same.. How dare you come to interrupt us without any kind of permission?" She looked down at her with a glare, making the brown haired female only more angrier. They were very closely the same age, or actually Mago was one year older than Niv while being one year younger than Stoker.


"Permission?!" Mago started to laugh, making her lift her arms to her waist. "Whose permission would I need?!" She laughed while holding her stomach. "So you don't know the manners of our civilization.." Niv smirked while looking at Stoker who started to smirk back at her while nodding. The Others were so confused that they didn't even know what they should say at all. "Manners? Like for example what? I'm a general and you are just some random.. Soldier or a civilian that sits around the others that are underlings for me. Only Stoker is higher ranked than me, but since he is a traitor, I don't care about being polite to him.." Mago said, making her just chuckle again while rolling her eyes.



"Random soldier huh? Is that how you speak to your Princess, General?" Niv lifted up her other eyebrow while looking at the female who's eyes widened. "What are you talking about? The Royal family hasn't attended this party at all! And definitely wouldn't allow their daughter to look like that!" She started laughing, but soon felt a sharp slap to her other cheek, making her almost fall over.


"Enough!! How dare you mock your future Queen?!" Stoker growled after getting up and walking between them. "Stoker!" Niv gasped after he had slapped the other female. She could have never believed him doing anything like that, but he had never accepted that kind of behavior towards his wife and this too crossed the line of his patience. The Spot on her cheek turned red right away from a small wound. "Future Queen?" Carbine and the others turned to look at each other while Niv pulled out a royal necklace from underneath the leather jacket. "No way!!" The Biker Mice gasped when they all got shocked about who the female really was. The Necklace was rather big, golden and filled with different kinds of diamonds that told her title in the royal family. Hers obviously told that she was a princess and the oldest of the siblings, meaning that she was the heiress.



"Y- Your Highness.." Mago started to mumble while holding her other cheek, making Niv just lift her hand up for her to stop talking. "Stop it.. You sat around the table without me allowing it.. You know that's forbidden!! Not forgetting that you mocked my husband, me and my looks!" She growled, making the female bow at her. "Lift your head up, Mago!" She growled, making the general do as told.


"I.. I didn't know.." She mumbled, but the princess wasn't interested to hear that. "Leave from my sight at once.. Or I'll take this much further.." She growled, making the general sigh and nod before turning to leave, but then she turned to look at Stoker who still stood there too. "Even if you took the offer to be the next Commander in Chief.. Even you wouldn't be that talented to bring the water back on Mars!" She growled, but that just made the princess snap again.



"LEAVE!!" She yelled, making the female just growl at her again. "He would bring the water back as well as the kidnapped Harley!" She shouted, making her freeze right there in her place when the general just dashed away and left the arena. "Niv.." Stoker was about to say but then they heard another voice behind them. "What did she say about my daughter.." Commander in Chief asked while walking to them.



"Father?!" Niv gasped and ran to hug him when he hugged her too. "You have woken up!" He gasped while hugging his older daughter. "You too.. I saw from Stoker's memories what happened to you.. I'm so sorry.." She sobbed in his arms, while he turned to look at the others, and soon everyone in the party gathered around to see the Commander in Chief who had also woken from a coma in the morning and was allowed to attend the party to celebrate Mars with a special permission.


"What did General Mago say about my daughter Harley? Who kidnapped her and when?" He asked, making Stoker turn to look down at the ground while the Biker Mice and the females dropped down their ears. "Explanation!!" He growled before Niv sat back down and pulled a chair for her father to sit on the other side of her while Stoker was sitting on her other side.



"Mace kidnapped her.. We have no clue where she is.." Vinnie blurted out drunk, making them all turn to look at him while Stoker started growling. "What?!" Niv gasped while lifting her hands on her mouth. She was about to ask who this Mace was, but then remembered him from Stoker's memories. "And you all are partying here without looking for her?!" She got up from her seat, making her husband get up too. "Niv! You don't understand.." He started, but she lifted her hand up to him to stop talking. "Don't!! You didn't show me everything so don't even bother now! You all lied to me that she was getting more drinks here!!" She shouted while feeling tears filling her eyes again. "I like this female.. She has a good temperament!" Vinnie was about to fall from his seat while trying to understand everything that had just happened.



"Niv, let me explain! There are some groups searching for her the whole ti--" The Silver Star General tried to explain, but she just growled at him. "Congratulations about being such a high ranked general now, Stoker.. You knew one thing that was the most important to me and you didn't take care of her!! I don't want to see you ever again!!" She yelled at the same time as crying when she pulled the ring out of her antenna and threw it to the general's chest before running out of the arena.


"NIV!!" He gasped while picking up the ring from the ground before running after her. "Me and Carbine will go after them, you others tell the Commander in Chief what has happened!" Throttle said while quickly getting up from their seats and running towards the main entrance. "Wait for me! These heels aren't made for running!" Carbine growled, making him chuckle. "Why did you even put them then?" He said, making her slap his arm with her tail when he stopped to wait for her. "Don't you start! I didn't even think anything like this would happen.." She said, making him nod. "Me neither.. But for now we need to find them.." He said when they got out of the building and followed the fresh tracks on the red ground that looked like someone had run there.



"Honey! Let me explain!!" Stoker shouted while running after his wife and for her bad luck he caught her fast since she hadn't run much during the last 14 years and wasn't in her best shape anymore. "I don't want to hear anything from you!!" She cried while punching his chest when he got in front of her. "No-one could do anything when Mace used the handheld teleport machine.." He explained, making her glare at him deathly. "I felt sorry for you getting brainwashed.. But maybe you still are by their side.. You know what she's worth!! You sold her!!" She yelled, making him gasp and take a step backwards.


"I could never do anything like that!! You know it Niv!" He was devastated after hearing what she had just said, but then they heard Throttle talking, making them turn to look at him and Carbine who had got there too. "Even if Stoker attacked us, he never did anything to Harley.." He said, and Carbine continued. "I don't know why he couldn't harm her while being under the effect of the Mind Bender Beam, but you have to believe he is back to normal now, Niv.." Carbine said, making the female just growl at them. "Maybe they brainwashed you all.." She said, making the female general snap and take a step towards her.



"HOW DARE YOU?! After what we have gone through?! You might have just woken up from a coma and be the princess of Mars, I get that! But don't you dare to tell us we are worth nothing after what we have gone through!! Without my uncle and the Biker Mice, Mars would be now Plutark's new moon!" She shouted as loudly as she could, making the princess collapse onto her knees and start crying. "Don't you even try to get me to be sorry.. I regret nothing, but now I'll get back to celebrating our victory.. Do whatever you want.." She growled to Stoker and Throttle after turning around and heading back to inside the arena that wasn't far from there since Niv couldn't still run far.


"Go with her.." Stoker said before kneeling down to Niv, making Throttle nod and follow the female general. "Carbine wait!" He shouted, making her slow down a bit but not stop. He caught her up fast before they entered the ruins again. "You know you might get in trouble for that.." He sighed, making her glare at him. She walked straight away to the counter and ordered the biggest whiskey the soldiers could offer. He joined her and ordered a root beer for him before they headed back to their table where Modo and Jessica were still informing the Commander in Chief what had happened. And during them being away, Mericy and Sapphire had joined them too since Adira had taken the teens already back to their room in the hospital underground. Meanwhile Stoker pulled crying Niv to his lap while sitting down on the ground.



"The Doctor said every feeling is alright.. You are devastated since so much has happened and new information comes before you can even react to the previous one.." He sighed while leaning against her head. Then she slowly wrapped her arms around him to bury her face to his chest. "No.. She's right.. Carbine's right! I have no right to judge.. I was away for too long.." She cried, making him shake his head. "You didn't judge them.. Only me.. You were right.. I should have done better to save your sister.. I'm terribly sorry" He started sobbing, making her turn to look at him to kiss him gently. "We'll find her.." She said, making him nod, before he opened his other hand that had her ring in it.


"Are you sure you are going to throw this away?" He asked carefully, even with a bit of fear in his voice. "No.. I'm sorry.." She sighed and leaned to him so he could put it back to her left antenna.
