Author's pov:

Carbine, who was very badly wounded, got slowly up from the ground and lifted her hand up to cover her eyes from the light before it was turned off. The Spaceship didn't look like those they had on Mars. She got her gun from her bag that was on her waist and started to walk slowly towards the spaceship, still wearing her helmet, even if it was opened, just in case the comer wouldn't come in peace.

"Is anyone in there?!" Carbine shouted and tried to stay strong even if she had had a huge emotional storm just a moment ago. She was still a general and had to defend Mars in any kind of case. And this was definitely one.

When she was about to turn to her bike, so she could use a radio to inform the other forces, she noticed that almost her whole bike had crashed during the fall, so the radio would have been broken first. She sighed deeply for her bad luck but then the door looking like a thing opened from the spaceship, which made her senses sharper.

"Who are you?! What do you want from here?!" Carbine said while coughing. There was some kind of dust or smoke coming out of the spaceship that made her cough. She closed her helmet so she could breathe and see better. But before she got any answers to her questions, someone shot her on her right side making her groan in pain and drop down on her knees.

"Hands up in the air, Plutarkian!!" Someone yelled making Carbine lift her hands up in the air right after she saw a gun in her vision. She used her tail to hide her gun that she had just dropped. She lifted it against her back with her tail, while keeping her hands up in the air.

"What did you call me?!" She raised her voice which made the comer put his gun down. "You are not one of them?" The Comer said which voice Carbine recognized to belong to a male, even if she didn't know what kind of creature she was talking with.

"One of what? Ghh.." Carbine said and then moved her hands to press her side that had just been shot by the comer. "Plutarkians.." The Comer said and when the smoke dust thing had landed, Carbine noticed that the comer was a mouse like she was. She pressed her helmet's button that opened it and revealed her face. Even if it was a big risk, she had to take it.

"You are a Martian mouse?!" Carbine gasped while looking at the comer. "A Mouse.. Yes.. But.. Ugh.. What did you say? Is this Mars?" The Comer said while looking around. Carbine didn't answer him since she got quite suspicious about his words. How couldn't he know this planet being Mars if he was a Martian mouse?

"Are you a Martian or not.." Carbine said and then handed her gun to her hand from her tail. She pointed it straight towards the comer who lifted his hands up in the air. "Wow hold on.." He said and then checked her title from her badges. "..General!" He added and then put his gun down on the ground as a sign that he was no danger.

"Answer me!!" Carbine growled and didn't move an inch. "I came from another planet! Plutarkians had taken over ours and I was the only one who managed to escape.. I came here to ask for help!" He said with a little bit of panic in his voice. Even if Carbine was still suspicious about him, she put her gun back on her waist bag.

"What planet? And what are the plutarkians.. If that's what you called them.." Carbine said and got up from her knees. "I came from a tiny planet called Ceres.." He said making Carbine look at him like she didn't believe him. "Ceres is a smaller planet than Mars, it's between Mars and Jupiter.. Plutarkians are evil fish like creatures from the planet Plutark!" He explained and hardly tried to make Carbine believe him.

"I actually am a Martian.. but my parents were part of the group that were sent to Ceres a long time ago.. I was born there.. And live there until one day the plutarkians took over our planet.. We didn't manage even start a war before everything was over.." The Comer said while Carbine was still keeping her watch tightly on him. He had maroon fur and long hair like Throttle and Stoker did. He also had three golden earrings on his left ear. He really looked like a Martian mouse, but Carbine would have been informed if there had ever been that kind of operation where some of the Martians had sent to other planet to live. Or if there was any life found from the another planets than Mars and the Earth..

"So... Umm.." Carbine started to say. "Mace!" The Comer said but then Carbine continued. "Mace.. How didn't you know this being Mars?" She asked while still being suspicious. "I thought I had landed on the planet called Earth! My course got messed up and I had to do an emergency landing.. An Enemy spaceship was following me and shooting my ship.. That must have caused why I got lost.." The Comer, who called himself Mace, said making Carbine almost start to believe him.

"The Earth is far far away from here.. They must have caught you earlier.." Carbine said and was about to continue saying something, but then one other spaceship appeared near them. "Oh no! The Plutarkians!!" Mace gasped and took his gun from the ground but then Carbine used her tail and took it from him. "I'll scare them away.. Hide to your ship.." Carbine said and took a step forward but was about to fall down right away.

"No way! I'm not leaving a beautiful lady like you fighting here alone! Especially when you are wounded!!" Mace said making Carbine just chuckle and blow strands of hair off her face. After that she closed her helmet and said "Martians don't show any signs of weakness. And I'm no General for nothing!!" She said and then loaded the gun and started shooting towards the enemies who were running out of the spaceship while shooting towards Carbine and Mace.

"Then I go get another gun! Hold on!!" Mace said and ran to his spaceship. Carbine continued defending them. She had no idea that the so called enemies were actually Mace's allies. When Mace got into the spaceship, he took off his glove that looked like a Martian mouse's hand. He showed his ring towards the monitor and said "Deep Pocket has landed on Mars. Follow the plan!" After that he put the glove back on him and took a gun before going outside.

Meanwhile Carbine had got a couple shots more from the enemies but also managed to scare them away. Right after Mace had got out of his spaceship with a gun, the enemies turned their backs on them and ran back to their spaceship. They left very fast but before leaving, someone yelled "THIS AIN'T OVER MARS!" But were they really scared of Carbine or was it all just a plan?

"I'll make them some tuna pasta if they come back.." Carbine growled but then fell on the ground again. "General!" Mace acted like he was really worried about her. He ran to her and lifted her on his arms. But the next he heard a sound that he would remember for a long time and always hate it.

"PUT THE LADY ON THE GROUND!!" Throttle said while pointing his gun towards Mace. He, Vinnie, Modo and Harley had got there right on time. But was the timing right to them or to Mace?

"Didn't you hear him or don't you understand?!" Vinnie shouted while getting his bike's guns prepared. Moto and Harley were also ready to attack Mace if it was needed. "Guys calm down!" Carbine yelled making all four of them surprised. Mace grinned under his mask. He had won the general on his side like it was planned.

"Carbine you are alive?!" Throttle said and put his gun back down. He was relieved but also still very worried. Carbine was very badly wounded. "You think some Plutarkians could get me..?" Carbine said while Mace lifted her down but helped her to stay standing. "Blue what?" Vinnie said and was confused, but so were the others too.

"Let me explain later.. We need to get this guy, Mace, to a safe place.. He has a message for us.. Hadn't you?" Carbine said and looked at Mace, but she was also getting weaker and weaker because of all of her wounds. "Yes. Mars is closer than Earth so they might attack here sooner than them.." He said while Throttle was looking at him suspiciously. He didn't like to see any other male as close to Carbine like Mace was now, especially what he had heard Scabbard doing to her..

"Modo get the new guy.. I'll get Carbine" Throttle just said and then walked to get Carbine. He lifted her bridal style making her blush a bit even if she didn't want to face him now after what had happened at the base. "Throttle.. I.." She started to say but then Throttle lifted her to sit on his bike. "We can talk later.. We need to get you to hospital now.." He said gently and then turned to the others.

"My name is Throttle. The white one is Vinnie, and the big guy is Modo. Harley is our nurse. Nice to meet you Mace, but we can get to know each other later. Guys you get him to the base, Modo informs Stoker and the Commander in Chief beforehand. I'll get Carbine to the hospital." Throttle commanded but then Mace started to talk.

"I need a ride from no-one. I have my own bike" He said and then walked to his spaceship, but Vinnie prepared his guns quickly. "Listen to the orders, Commander told you! You are in our land so you tell no orders here!!" He said making Throttle nod proudly to him. "We'll handle this, go already Throttle!" Harley said while noticing that Carbine was about to faint. All of them knew that even if Harley was a nurse, she couldn't help Carbine without any kind of medical stuff.

"Carbine! Stay awake.. We'll be there soon!" Throttle said worriedly and sat in front of her. "I.. can.. try.." Carbine said weakly while Throttle had already started driving fast. Meanwhile the others continued their way back to the base, with Mace, whose spaceship got locked by Vinnie.

"I shouldn't have let you go.. I'm terribly sorry about that, Carbine.." Throttle said while driving. He was feeling so bad about the situation. He had treated her horrible and after that she had gotten very badly wounded. If he hadn't been so horrible to her, she probably wouldn't have left and none of these wounds of hers would have happened.

"You don't need to apologize for anything, Throttle.." Carbine said weakly while trying to hold on Throttle. "Yes I do! I was horrible to you.. Even if I didn't know the truth, I should have been better to you!" He said making Carbine a bit more awakened. "Did Harley tell you?!" She said making Throttle nod. It took a small moment of silence from both of them to start talking again.

"I..." They said exactly the same time making them smile a bit to each other. "Let me talk first.." Throttle said but then Carbine said. "I should have told you earlier!" She said making Throttle turn to look at her over his shoulder. "You are not mad at Harley?" He asked making her shake her head. Even if she didn't know what exactly Harley had told them. "I'll punish him.. He did horrible things to you and needs to be punished.. I'll never forgive him.." Throttle said but then Carbine fainted making her head fall against Throttle's back.

"CARBINE?!" Throttle gasped right after noticing that. "Carbine.. Babe.. Wake up! Please.. Wake up for me!!" He panicked while speeding up as fast as he could without dropping her. There was still kilometers left to the closest hospital. Would he manage to make it in time? How would the Martian Army, the Government and the Guardians on the Bikes take Mace to cover? Who was the real enemy and whose side Mace really were? What would all of this mean to Mars?
