Okay, first things first... This is my first fan fiction here, although I've been writing them many years now. Secondly, English is not my first language so be kind, you folks! Third thing is obvious, I do not own the Biker Mice from Mars, unfortunatly. I didn't come up with this idea of three motorcycling mice from outer space which is a shame but true. I did come up with this particular story how ever and all the original fictional characters in it. Oh, and I tend to write lengthy stories that never end, I hope I can manage to put out a story that will come into some conclucion in some point. This story is based on the events that occur after the mice have left the planet Earth. I don't really use any references to the 2006 series since I only watched it once and can't remember things... (The original old series I've been watching over and over and over and over...) So, enjoy reading and please review and leave a comment after you've done that! Love to hear what you think of it.

The New Dawn of the Red Planet

Chapter 1

Prologue

It looked so tiny. Earth, from this angle. Blue, green and covered with clouds. Slowly, it got more and more distant. Soon it looked like it was a colourful bouncyball just floating in the darkness. Modo felt a tiny ache in his chest while watching the third planet from the Sun from the small window of a Martian Spacecraft. He leaned on the wall made out of thick Martian steel. He could hear Throttle and Carbine talking in the distance. They were changing brief remarks about the spacecraft's meters that were showing speed, pressure, altitude, distance and other factors. Modo wasn't that interested in the conversation and just looked at the planet now only the size of a coin.

He then changed his posture and looked around the small spacecraft, trying to spot Vinnie but he was nowhere to be seen. Poor kid, he had said goodbye to Charley in his usual elegance, trying to stay cool but it had been hard to watch. Charley had had tears in her eyes and Modo had to admit he had had too. Even Throttle's specs had seemed a bit foggy. She had been their only true friend and companion, their partner-in-crime so to speak, for so many years in that strange planet. She had made it easier for them to adjust to the consuming lifestyle they had to adopt while staying on Earth, trying to stay hidden from the humans, not be able to live the life like it's supposed to be lived. Sneaking, wearing helmets all the time while staying outside during the daytime, always self-concious about the tail and wondering how to hide it if people got nearer... They felt so much gratitude towards her, they knew how lucky they had been when their paths had crossed. She had made them feel like home. She was family. He truly concidered her as his sister. And he had told her that before they left.

It had been hard to leave her there. For all of them. But, they weren't Earthlings, they were Martians and they had to go home. They couldn't stay in a foreign planet for the rest of their lives. Living the life in the shadows, hiding and always alert. It had been tough, but he didn't regret it at all. And he had a feeling they'll meet Charley again. As much fun as they had had on Earth, Modo had to admit, he had felt home-sick for a long time. They had been visiting Mars a couple of times during the three years but they hadn't had the time to properly just relax with their families and friends, do normal stuff they would do if they were at home. Okay, there had been a war and the normal days had been few and far between those times but still, Modo couldn't wait to just go on for the long rides on the red sands with Lil' Hoss. He wondered how he even missed the sand gritting between the teeth.

And of course he missed his family. Soon, he would be reunited with his mommah, sister, nephew and niece. He could almost smell his mommah's cookings. He had heard what has been happening during his stay on Earth from his old mommah in the long letters she had sent to him via whoever might have been visiting the blue planet. Like his big sister May had re-married an army bloke which was slightly amusing to Modo. Of course now that the peace had finally arrived to Mars the Freedom Fighters and the Army weren't anymore bickering but still, there were sometimes slight uneasiness around each other. The army was cautious of this raggety bunch of rebels who were usually uncontrollable and raucous. The Fighters didn't really fit in the army standards.

Modo took a deep breath. There had been so many things he had been missing out during their stay on Earth, and he did want to make up for it. Also, if he was really truthful to himself, there was someone he was eager to meet again... The path his mind had been drifting along made him smile a little but he stopped when he heard Throttle to suddenly call out their white furred friend's name. Modo turned his head and saw Vinnie, looking unusually quiet, taking a seat in one of the seats in front of the control panels. He didn't raise his look to even give a nod to Throttle who looked now a bit worried. The tan mouse and Carbine shared a look. Carbine had took the time to come to pick the bros up herself although she was a General and could've ordered the task to some soldiers but she had quickly just stated that it was an honour to do that herself. She had one soldier with her who was driving the spacecraft. Carbine now straightened her back and continued to do the checkings from the meters and contacting the Army Base while Throttle took a seat next to Vinnie. Modo could hear him asking if he was okay and Vinnie only shook his shoulders. It was so odd to see their usually hyper-active friend that down. Throttle only nodded back saying "Things will get better..." But that remark only got Vinnie on his feet with a quick jump and he raised his voice.

"How can things get better while I left Charley there?!" He wasn't sounding angry as much as he sounded desperate.

Throttle took a long breath and looked out of the big window to the darkness, where there was seen a small red spot towards what they were travelling.

"Vincent. Earth is her home. And Mars is ours. You know we all care for Charley and it kills us to leave her there...But Limbuger's gone, and she'll be fine. Our mission is done. It's our duty to go back to Mars. It's time to concentrate on our own planet again and help it to become the planet it once used to be..." Throttle's words drifted off and he glanced at Modo's direction. The grey giant nodded reassuringly to his bro but turned his look outside the window again. After all, what can you say to someone who just got taken away from his loved one? He could say to Vinnie that it gets a bit better after some time but honestly, you never forget.
