Chapter 2- Another Universe

The mice fell through the portal. It disappeared.

"Where are we?"Modo asked. "I don't know but I got a bad feeling."Throttle replied. They looked around and saw old, dilapidated buildings. The whole city appeared to be in ruins. They got on their bikes and rode around. "It looks like Chi-town, but then it doesn't?" Vinnie said. Suddenly Plutorkians dressed in uniforms blocked their views. "Don't move. Any of you."One of them said. "If you wanna pass, you gotta pay us a fare."said another one, "And do it quickly or you're in for a world of hurt."
"And if we refuse?"Throttle asked.
"Then you die."
The mice smiled sarcastically. Throttle looked at Vinnie and Modo.
"Did they just threaten us?"
"Sure did."Modo replied, "Pitiful."
"They must be comedians."Vinnie said, "I almost feel sorry for them."
"Yeah. Let's smoke 'em."Throttle said. Weapons came out of their bikes. They aimed and fired at the Plutorkians who fled in terror.
The mice laughed as they watched them go.
"I never get tired of that."Throttle sighed contently.
Suddenly a blast knocked them off their bikes. Another group of Plutorkians hid behind a building. They were about to fire on the mice with a laser blaster when an arrow flew threw the air pinning the Plutorkians' arm to a brick wall. His other arm was pinned by another arrow. The mice looked up to see three bikers. One of them held a crossbow.
"I don't believe it."Vinnie said.
"They look like Martian Freedom Fighters!"Modo smiled, happily. The Plutorkians began firing at the bikers. One of them shot out an orange flame blasting the Plutorkians into the air. They flew down where the mice were and motioned them to come towards them. The mice rode towards them and they all rode behind an old abandoned building.
"Thanks for your help whoever you are."Throttle said.
The three bikers removed their helmets. The mice gasped. "You're welcome."one of them said. Their leader looked like Modo! But this Modo wore no patch over his eye and he had no bionic arm. He had two good eyes and arms. "How is this possible?"Modo asked, shocked.
"You three are not from around here, are you?"The Modo look-a-like asked.
The mice then removed their helmets.
"Like looking in a mirror."The Modo look-a-like replied, "I thought as much."
"Then where are they from?"The biker with the crossbow asked. Vinnie was shocked. The guy looked like him! He had no metal mask over his face.
"We're from Chicago."Throttle explained, "Carbunkle's portal brought us here."
"Carbunkle? Here?"The Modo look-a-like asked glancing at them then the three bikers with him, "This is bad."
Suddenly, there was a bleeping sound. He took out a cellphone. "My wife's on the line."He told them.
"Wife?"The three mice looked at each other with shocked looks on their faces. "Hi, on my way back. Yeah, I'll see you soon. Love you too. Bye."Modo said, talking into the phone.
He hung up. "We'll help you get back home. Follow us."He told them. They rode down a road and saw the Last Chance garage coming into view. But it wasn't the Last Chance. It said "Modo's Fix-it Shop."
"You own the Last Chance garage?"Throttle asked, surprised.
"Since I last checked."The Modo look-a-like chuckled.
The mice saw someone running out of the garage arms outstretched. It was Charley. But she looked different. She had on a blue denim slacks and a yellow t-shirt. Her hair was super long and springy. In her arms, was a baby about eight months old. "Hey, baby!"She cried out. The mice were shocked when she ran straight to the Modo look-a-like. Then they locked lips and kissed! He then took the baby out of her arms and kissed it.
"How's my son?" The mice were bewildered. Modo with a kid? "Oh, I didn't know we had company."She said, glancing at the Biker Mice.
"Just rescued them from Plutorkian enforcers, but we gave them a run for their money." "You and Charley are an item?!"Vinnie gasped.
"In a way. She's my wife."He explained. The mice couldn't believe it. "How long you been married?"Modo asked. Then four human-like martian mouse kids came running out. "Daddy! Daddy! You're home!" they cried. Charley took the baby out of his arms. The Modo look-a-like hugged the four kids and smiled. They hugged him back.
"You okay, kids?"
"Too long obviously."Throttle replied.
"Look what I brought!" He beamed, taking a large fish out of a bag.
"Fresh trout!" The kids crowed.
"You are staying for supper, right?"He asked the mice.
The mice normally hated fish but they nodded out of politeness.
"I'll get ready to clean the scales off."The Vinnie look-a-like said.
"I'll fire up the grill."The Throttle look-a-like said.
"After you speak to Carbine. She's here."Charley told him, "I have to give the baby his bottle."
She then walked inside the garage.
"Vincent?"
The mice turned to see Carbine walk up but she didn't look like the one they remembered. She was dressed in pink leather jacket, pants, and boots. She wore pink feather earrings.
"I'm here, sweetie."The Vinnie look-a-like said, taking her in his arms. Everyone was shocked. "I'm sorry we fought. I want to work things out between us. I want another chance with you."she said.
"You got it."he smiled, kissing her cheek. She giggled. Now Throttle knew she wasn't the girl he knew.
The Carbine he knew never giggled. This one acted too girly and dippy.
"'Glad you two finally patched things up." They looked up to see Harley walk in. Harley was the girl Vinnie fell in love with on Mars. Vinnie nearly gasped and held his breath. But this Harley wasn't the same. She had a hard edge about her and was thin. Her hair was purple and in a punk rock style, she wore a short pleated dark-green skirt, purple tank-top, spike collar and knee length boots.
She put her arms around The Throttle look-a-like's waist and rested her head on his shoulder. He smiled warmly at her. They cuddled.
"Who're they?"She asked, motioning with her head at the Biker Mice.
"Friends. They're from Chicago."He replied.
"Oookay, we just stepped into the Bizarro zone."Vinnie thought. "Carbunkle created a dimensional portal. It brought them here."The Modo look-a-like said.
"No prob. We just send them back home then blow his little toy to bits."The Harley look-a-like said.
"That's not so simple. His tower is crawling with Plutorkian Enforcers."He told them.
"Plutorkians Enforcers?"Throttle asked. "Carbunkle Tower is loaded with them. Zachary Carbunkle isn't going to let anyone near his dimensional device. He got it from the High Chairman Limburger.
Dr. Greasepit helped him build it. We have to take out that device or he'll use it to take over this world as well as others."
"Oh, do we have to do it? I vote we go out for pizza instead."Carbine said, whining.

"Cheese? Ugh!"Vinnie and Modo groaned.
"You definitely don't sound like the Carbine I know. She hates cheese plus she would've jumped at the chance to stop Limburger and his cronies."
Throttle told her chuckling.
"So who's up for ruffling Carbunkle's feathers?"Throttle asked.
"We are!"Everyone said.
"But after dinner."The Modo look-a-like said.
