Author's pov:
One week later after meeting with the Biker Mice and Charley Davidson, the Avatar Rise and her friends were walking along a street again while getting to know the city of Chicago. They haven't met the macho mice and the mechanic after what had happened between Throttle and Rise, and only Charley didn't yet know about the kiss between them. But since she was very smart, she had already noticed that there might be some reason the guys hadn't even mentioned those three women, which after the mice had drooled right when they had seen them for the first time.
Along the women's way of walking, they found the bank Paris was looking for. She needed to get some of the money her father had sent to her bank account. And since they weren't so keen on new electronic stuff, their group used more cash instead of cards.
"Meatpackers Bank? What an odd name.." Rise said when they finally had found the right bank they had been looking for. "That's the one the Chief texted us.. He really does think that the money goes just to that one bank and you can't get it from elsewhere.." Mania chuckled making Paris roll her eyes. "Don't tease him, he's old school! You know that we don't know too much about these new things either.. Our tribe wanted to focus on the past and traditions more than get every new supply that possible.." Paris said while stepping into the bank. "Right.. At least they decided to get even some phone lines there!" Mania laughed when she and Rise followed the princess.
"Thanks for the escort guys! Last Chance doesn't bring me much but I hate to lose it.." Charley Davidson said when she took her helmet off after they had arrived in front of the same bank too where the Avatar had just gone with her friends. Neither of them knew that the other group was there too.
"That's us! Biker bodyguards!" Throttle said to the mechanic, with a smile on his face when they had parked their bikes across the street where the bank was. "At your service Ma'am!" Modo lifted his other hand to his forehead as a formal army greeting. "Yeah, and let me tell you--" Vinnie started to say but Charley leaned towards him and growled back to the white furred male.
"I hope you're not about to say that you're going to guard me always.. Because if you do, I'll tie your tail in a knot!" Charley said while swinging her bag before leaving the white furred male just gulp there while she headed to the bank. "I'll just be a few minutes!" She said while crossing the street. "Wo ho hoo! It's so weird.. I swear sometimes that woman can read my mind!" Vinnie laughed while leaning against his head against his hands while leaning them on his bike.
"Oh yeah, we got news from you bro!" Throttle chuckled while patting Vinnie's back. "It ain't really hard!" Modo laughed making the white furred male roll his eyes. But right after that they noticed two cars dashing right in front of the bank. The Other one was blue while the other was red. And they got the mice's full attention while waiting for the mechanic to come back.
"Whoah! If that's not a beginning driver's head class.." Throttle started. "It's almost time to.." Modo continued while Vinnie already closed his helmet's visor. "Party!" He finished the sentence. Meanwhile in the bank, in the line one or two customers before the Water tribe's princess Paris was nobody else than Greasepit, the Mice's old enemy, but the Princess didn't know that. She hadn't seen him when Throttle showed her his memories, but there was no need for that, she already found him being quite not an eye candy kind of a thing to look at.
"I see Paris has her time to enjoy the other citizens.." Mania laughed while she was waiting with the Avatar outside of the line, the princess to deal with the bank appointment. "Surely!" Rise chuckled when they saw Paris turning to look at them just to glare at them. She had truly heard their laughs, but there was just one thing that made her more annoyed.. The Greasepit's piggy bank fell on the floor and shattered into thousands of pieces. Not like it was intact looking in the first place either!
"Typical.. This kind of always happens when I go to the bank!" They heard Charley saying just a couple other customers behind Paris. "Hey Charley! You are here too" Rise smiled and waved to the mechanic making her notice them too. "Hey guys! Haven't seen you in awhile" She smiled at them making Rise laugh awkwardly while rubbing the back of her neck. But when she was about to answer her something, the whole doorway exploded behind them, making all of the customers run and scream. The Avatar had been leaning against the wall and also fell to the ground at the explosion with her friend that had been a bit closer to the doorways. She had hurt her back but maybe just a bruise level, not sure how her friends were.
"This is a robbery! Everyone on the floor!!" One guy out of four heavily armed ones yelled before starting his flamethrower and shooting straight towards the opposite wall. "Rise, do something!" Paris screamed while hiding herself behind a table. She seemed to be okay so far and managed to take cover, even if it was a rather weak one against those guys' weaponry. "What?! There's no water here and the ground is too far outside!" Rise yelled back to her but then felt Mania's hand on her arm. She noticed her being too, maybe they all just got a few bruises but nothing more worse. "Go get some, I'll buy some time!" She said making the Avatar nod and run straight away outside when the weapon master pulled her sword out of its sheath.
"And where do you think you are going?!" One of the armed guys grabbed Rise by her arms and pulled her back before she managed to get out of the bank. "Let me go!!" She growled and tried to wriggle herself free. When she heard someone yelling, she kicked the guy straight to his crotch making him groan in pain.
"Not all my life savings!! I beg you!" Greasepit whined after he had picked up all the coins from the floor after his piggy bank had shattered. Another one of the robbers pulled him up from the floor violently. But before anyone managed to do anything more, they heard some heavy metal music playing just before three motorcyclists dashed inside through a window which had nothing left after them.
The Biker Mice started an instant fight after jumping off their bikes. Throttle and Modo punched two of the robbers while Vinnie wrapped his tail around the third one's waist before throwing him away like a bag of garbage. After that they walked towards the main counter coolly while whipping their tails. "Let's make this short and sweet bros" Throttle said while walking. But then they noticed the fourth guy getting up behind the counter.
"Hold it right there! I got me a hostage here!" The guy with a flamethrower growled behind the counter. "Charley?!" The Mice said in unison while turning to look at each other. "You guys always think I'm a hostage? What about Rise and the others?! I saw them here too!" Charley said behind the mice making them turn to look at her. "Oh maan.." Throttle thought while Vinnie shrugged before the robber talked making them turn around again.
"You guys better surrender or I'm gonna fry me some bacon for breakfast!" He said and pulled Greasepit up while holding the flamethrower next to his head. "Pleaseeee!" Greasepit cried but then they heard another voice talking behind them. "I knew that guy would cause some trouble!" Mania groaned behind them while putting her sword back to the sheath, she lifted her hands up already with Paris. Then the mice turned to look at each other, Vinnie shrugging again before he turned around and started to away while clearly hearing that Greasepit was begging them to help him.
Throttle lifted his hand on the white furred male's shoulder making him stop walking. "As much as it hurts. We got no choice bros" He said when Vinnie turned around. "Maaan! Don't you just hate being a good guy sometimes?!" Vinnie whined before the robber pointed the flamethrower towards them. "Now raise your hands up in the air!!" He growled making the males obey and lift their hands up while Modo just sighed "Let's lift them bros".
"Now. Let's get cooking!!" The Robber growled before turning the flamethrower on. "Watch out guys!!" They heard a woman yelling before hearing a rumble coming behind and soon right under them. The Avatar ran past them, lifted a huge rock up in the air with her Earthbending power before throwing the rock towards the robber making him shoot the flame to the wall that mice managed to dodge.
"Whoah!! Toastyy!" Vinnie blew the top of his tail which was burning a bit. "Warm but not burnt! Modo, lights out! Ladies take cover!!" Throttle commanded while preparing himself to fight. Modo got his mechanical arm's gun ready to shoot the chandelier, making it fall straight on the bad guys. "Wohooo! That was amazing! Let's kick their asses, girls!" Mania cheered while pulling her sword out again. At the same time Charley got a bazooka in her arms. "Come to mama!" She said while getting it ready at the same time when the Avatar lifted the rocks back to the air and started throwing them at the robbers.
"Aaahh!! Let's blow this joint!" One of them shouted when all four of them decided to back off by running out of the same hole they had just blown to where the doors had actually been. "They are getting away!!" Mania shouted making Rise turn around. "Not in my watch!!" She shouted and ran after them while the mice got to their bikes.
"He he heyy!! The Game is not over till the fat lady sings, Sports fans!" Vinnie shouted after them. "Yeah we are going over time!" Modo cheered before handing his hand towards Mania. "I wouldn't usually ask this, but since you have the same task as us.. Would you like to join us, ladies?" He asked making the black haired woman smile and nod to the gray furred male. "Big time!!" Charley shouted while jumping to sit behind Vinnie on his bike while Throttle decided to be Paris' ride this time.
"Let's ride!!" The Tan furred male commanded just before they heard a loud whistle and saw the giant black wolf running towards them. The Avatar lifted her up to the wolf's back with her Earthbending powers so there was no need for the animal to stop running. "Let's go get them!!" She shouted while the wolf ran past the bikers.
"I'm not sure if I hate or like that animal.." Vinnie grunted making Mania laugh. "Hey that's our friend you're talking about!" She chuckled making the white furred male laugh. "I meant the wolf!" He said making all of them laugh.
But when the blue and red cars got separated, the Avatar continued following the blue one while the others stopped right there. "Vincent, you and Charley follow the Avatar and take that one. Modo, you come with me!" Throttle commanded before they got separated. "Hey we should stick with the Avatar!" Mania growled to the tan furred male. "Hey! Once you sit on our bikes, you listen to my orders! Understood?!" He growled back at her but got a slap from the princess to the back of his helmet making him roll his eyes. "Gosh these women bring so much trouble.." He thought to himself while they were chasing the red car.
"Wa ha haoo!! Hang on tight!" Vinnie howled while riding fast behind the blue car, Charley sitting behind him and the Avatar riding her giant wolf right in front of them. "I'll be just fine, thanks!" Charley said before the white furred male lifted the front wheel up in the air, making the mechanic almost fall from the ride but the male got her back by wrapping his tail around her waist and pulling her back to sit behind him just before she hit the ground. "Vinnie! Don't play around!!" Rise shouted at them while she was tossing some more boulders to the blue car that had their full time attention to dodge them.
"I told you, darling!" Vinnie chuckled but then rolled his eyes to the Avatar. "Hey, how'd you like a reminder of road safety, Hot stuff? Rise's right!" Charley growled making the male just laugh while speeding up. "This lady is hot!" He said while catching up the giant wolf. But only because she had to slow down a bit, so Lightning could dodge better the shot from the flamethrower that almost hit Vinnie's bike by accident, but he managed to dodge it too making the male howl just louder.
"Whaooo! Am I the absolute baddest mamma jamma or what?!" He grinned while the Avatar lifted a huge ground wall in front of the escaping car making the slow down fast. At the same time Charley prepared her new bazooka before shooting it and hitting the car right away, making it fly to the air before landing on its roof.
"While you were just talking, Charley and I did the dirty work!" Rise growled while she jumped off the wolf and walked to them after Vinnie stopped his bike near the car. "Charley-girl, when have you learned to do things like that?!" Vinnie's jaw dropped making the mechanic smirk. "You wouldn't shut up!" She said while getting up on his bike. "You'd learn some patience.." The Male said while still being surprised. Then the mechanic and the Avatar walked to the bad guys before she prepared the bazooka again and the Avatar lifted two huge boulders up from the ground. "Don't move!" They growled at the same time.
Meanwhile at the others of their groups
Throttle and Modo had their full time attention to concentrate on dodging when one of the robbers shot at them with another bazooka. "Should you be more careful while driving?!" Paris shouted while trying to hold tight on Throttle. "You are on a wrong drive then, Miss" Throttle laughed making Modo and Mania laugh too. The Black haired woman just enjoyed the ride when the blonde one was close to panicking. "I really miss Lightning!!" She screamed when the guys sped up while dodging.
"Wow! I think these guys got the answer to rush our traffic, huh?" Throttle smirked while Modo prepared his bike's guns already. "Yeah, but my bike wants to ask a few more questions!" He said before shooting the red car that dodged it fast by turning left twice. "Maan! We gotta take these clowns before they get to the Pits!" Throttle said while speeding up. "Pits? What pits?" Paris turned to look at Mania who shrugged but soon noticed it was better idea to hold more tighter to Modo and her sheath at the same time if she didn't want to have face to face contact with the asphalt.
"What Pits are you talking about?" Modo asked while driving on the right side of their group's leader. "Those deep craters outside of the town, remember? Limburger dug them before we came to Earth. I heard they are full of criminals and sleiveens now!" Throttle explained making Paris just pinch her nose that caused Mania to laugh even more. She knew that if there ever was a time that she had a feeling of danger was near, it was now!
"You think these tourists came from there?" Modo asked making Throttle just grin when they dodged another shot. "Do they look like boy scouts to you, Genius? Let's nail them!" He shouted before speeding up again. Mania just howled making them realize she reminded them about Vinnie, while Paris was very much regretting her choice of getting on their ride.
Then two of the Biker Mice pressed the buttons on their bikes making two grappling hooks appear and attach to the back of the red car that continued escaping fast, and now wriggling the bikes off them. "Watch out!!" Paris screamed when they were about to hit a streetlight but Throttle managed to shoot it in time. "Nice shot partner, we got them!" Modo said while Throttle was thinking that the chance of getting deaf by these women was getting bigger and bigger.
"Oh boy.. I think you got that wrong, bro.. They got us!!" He shouted when the car drove through a dead end sign at the pits the commander had just mentioned. His bike hit a rock just before that, making the princess fall off the bike just before the Biker Mice and Mania fell to the deep craters. "Mania!! Guys!!" She shouted while groaning in pain. The fall had hurt her tiny but curvy body but she felt some burning on her other ankle for a while. She was laying near the edge when she saw her old and new friends falling to where the bottom was barely even seen from there.
The Bad guys jumped off the red car and opened their parachutes while the Biker Mice's bikes were still attached to the car by their grappling hooks. "Well, they might not be boy scouts but they surely were prepared!" Modo said while looking down where they were falling. "Cut loose from these junkeep! When it hits, we don't want to go along with it!" Throttle shouted before they pressed the same buttons to detach the grappling hooks from the car.
"So what's the plan?" Modo shouted but then Mania screamed. "I seriously hope you guys have one! Where's Paris?!" She said making the males notice her being missing too. "We gotta turn this free fall into a long controlled jump! Now on my signal, we fire our jets!" Throttle said but didn't answer the woman's question. He just hoped that the Princess hadn't fallen already..
"Is it gonna work?!" Modo wondered while being worried about the blonde woman. How come they didn't notice earlier that she was missing? She was sitting right behind Throttle still just a moment ago! "You want an honest answer?" Throttle turned to look at the gray furred male. "I swear if it's not going to work I'll--!!" Mania screamed while truly being afraid. "Ummm.." Modo gulped making the tan furred male just lean against his hand. "Take your time!" He chuckled.
"No!" Modo said making Throttle prepare himself fast. "Now let's do it!!" He shouted before they turned their bikes jets on making it slow down their falling. They managed to land smoothly while flying over some bad guys, some explosions following after them.
At the Limburger tower
"This is most intriguing news dear boy! Are you saying those noxious Biker Mice were actually fighting other criminal elements besides us?" A man looking like a creature in a purple suit said while sitting behind a businessman's table. That man, or actually a fish wearing a man like mask, was who else than Lawrence Limburger himself. At the other side of the table stood Greasepit, one of his henchmen, a huge man who was covered in oil.
"Yea! They saved my penny collection! They was great, boss! Like those girls that were fighting along with them! I wonder if either of them has a fan club.." Greasepit thought out loud while his boss turned to look at him suspiciously. "Girls? What girls?!" He growled making the man jump a bit, almost dropping his barely fixed piggy bank again. It was an honest miracle that the bank even had the shape of a pig anymore.
"There was three girls with them, boss! One of them was tiny and scared while the other two fought along the Biker Mice! One had a sword while the other one was tossing some rocks around without even touching them!" The Oily man explained making the other one lift his other eyebrow. "Tossed some rocks without touching them?" He said suspiciously and was clearly doubting his words.
"Yes!! It looked amazing! I wonder where did the Biker Bunnies get those new girls.." Greasepit thought out loud while the businessman just sighed. He was clearly annoyed. "Greasepit, dear boy.." Limburger started while lifting his hands on his head. "Yea boss?" His henchman answered right away. "Shut up!!" He shouted making the piggy bank slip away from his fingers and shatter in pieces after hitting his head.
"That just simply cannot be possible.." Limburger said while getting up his chair and walking to his large windows that were the whole wall sized in his office. The Oily man just started to collect his life savings from the carpet while clearly messing up with the numbers. "Hmm.. But those other criminals.. Yes.. Any enemy of those Biker Mice is definitely a friend of mine!" The Business man grinned after clearly getting a plan. "Who were they?" He asked while turning around. "I don't know, boss" Greasepit answered making his boss clearly angry. "Then find them!!" He yelled making the henchman drop his coins on the floor again.
Back to the Avatar, Charley and Vinnie
"They must to come this way!" Charley said when Vinnie stopped to the edge of the pits. "Yeah, when my bros leave a trail, they leave a Trail!" Vinnie chuckled while looking down to the deep craters. "Charley, Vinnie? Is that you?" They heard someone saying from the darkness. Evening had fallen already making the vision much darker, but then they saw someone walking to Vinnie's bike's lights.
"Paris?!" Charley said while Vinnie whistled loudly. Soon the Avatar arrived on her giant wolf's back. "Vinnie, you should know that doesn't work? He only listens to me.." Rise laughed making Vinnie smirk. "But that worked on you!" He said making the Avatar chuckle before she noticed her friend. "Paris?! Are you alright?!" She gasped and jumped down from the wolf's back. She had been searching for the others too but separate from Vinnie and Charley, trying to find them faster if they were looking from different places.
"What are you doing here all alone?" Charley asked but then noticed the princess was barely even stepping on her other foot. She had had a hard time even just getting up. "I fell on the ground just before they fell over there.. I hurt my ankle and couldn't move from here.. The Phone is in Mania's bag so I couldn't ring any help either.." She explained when Rise checked her ankle. "I see nothing here, but that needs some first aid when we get back.. I don't have any water with me right now so I can't check it with it either.." She sighed making her friend nod understandingly.
"So.. Mania fell with the guys?" Rise said making her sigh deeply before nodding. Then they all turned to look down to the craters that looked very very dangerous. It was all dark and dusky down there. "They must have gone to the Pits.. That's why they never came back!" Charley said while Vinnie squatted down, trying to take a better look. "Wow! That was a radical jump!" Vinnie said but Charley shook her head.
"They could have been killed!" Charley gasped making Paris even more scared while Rise just huffed. "If they weren't, they just broke my high jump record!" Vinnie said while hitting his other hand with his other fist. "Vinnie you don't understand!" The Pits is taken over by some of the worst criminals on Earth! If Throttle, Modo and Mania are down there, they must be fighting for their lives! They could have got beaten, shotten, blown up!" Charley explained, making the Avatar more interested while the white furred male just cheered. "Cool!" He whipped his tail.
"We have to do something!" The Mechanic said making the male growl. "We are! We are sending me down there!" He said and pointed at his chest. "Vinnie! Be serious!" Charley said, making the male growl. "Hey Charley-girl! If my bros are getting beaten up or shotten or blown up et cetera, Vinnie is gonna be there!" He announced while pointing down to the craters.
"Vinnie, that's very noble.." Charley smiled at the male making him turn around to look at her. "Noble smoble! You think I'm gonna let them two glory heads have all the fun for themselves, right! Even Mania's there having fun instead of me.. I can't wait to get down there!" Vinnie howled while squatting down again. "You are a real piece of work, Vinnie.." Charley sighed making the male just grin. "Hey pretty lady! What took you so long to notice?" He smirked but then the Avatar talked.
"That's why I'm coming with you.." She said making them turn to look at them. "No you don't! Throttle would never even look at me again if he sees that I brought you down there!" Vinnie said but soon noticed what he had just said. "Throttle? What Throttle has something to do with her? What?" Charley said making them both turn to look back at the Pits while Paris carefully sat against Lightning's other front paw to pet the wolf and rest her ankle. "Guys! Is there something I should know?" The Brown haired mechanic asked, making the Avatar just growl.
"He shouldn't know it either.." She said but then Paris talked. "Is or isn't, just go already!! Mania needs your help too! You are the Avatar and we came here to help!" She said making her friend laugh. "Are you, the paragon of safety, telling me to go to fight?! Did you hit your head too, Paris?" Rise chuckled before commanding Lightning to stay here to take care of Paris and Charley. The Wolf obeyed and laid down next to the wounded blonde before licking her face.
"Oh shut up and just go already!" The Princess laughed and started to pet the black wolf who swung his tail happily. Then the Avatar turned to look at the white furred male again before grinning. The white furred male just nodded to her while Charley was still wondering what they were hiding from her..
