Zuki Finds Her Mom
Sakura left her lawyer's office dejected but certainly not defeated. She was going to find her daughter even if she had to go through all fifty states. When she was handed the current address of her ex-husband, it tightened her resolve to find her daughter. She made the suggestion that maybe she was in the States, but he told her that it wasn't possible for a kid to board a commercial plane without the airline's knowledge. She listened at first but she couldn't shake the thought that maybe she was in the U.S. "But where?" She thought as she drove to her restaurant. The small bistro she worked hard to build was in view as she pulled into the parking lot. She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the black limo sitting in the parking lot next to a large white van. She got out of her car and put the key in the lock and went inside. She then put on the light and stepped into the dining area. She gasped. Sitting down were a dozen or more men dressed like dirty, unkempt bikers. "Welcome home, Ms. Ono. I've been expecting you."said a voice. Sakura looked to see an overweight man in a loud purple suit approach. "Lawrence Limburger? What are you doing here?"She asked.
"Why to buy your land, of course."Limburger smiled, fiendishly.
"I'm going to tell you what I told you last month: It's not for sale. Now get out of my restaurant before I call the police!"She replied,
glaring at him. "Oh, I don't think you will."He replied, looking over at Greasepit who held up a smashed telephone.
"You should know, dear lady, I don't take rejection easy."He chuckled, then to his goons, "Smash this place to bits!"
The goons began turning over tables and smashing vases. "Stop!" Sakura cried out.
She ran to stop them from tearing her place apart when Greasepit grabbed her. She wriggled in his arms struggling to get free.
"No!" Sakura cried out, watching the goons tear up chairs and breaking out windows.
Meanwhile the Biker Mice, Charley, and Zuki were riding through on their way to the Last Chance garage to pack a few things when they heard screaming.
"It's coming from there!"Charley said, pointing out the small Japanese-American restaurant on the corner. They saw a chair fly out a broken window.
"Bros, check it out! Isn't that stinkfish's limo parked outside that restaurant?"Vinnie asked, pointing to the black limo.
"Limburger! Shoulda known he wouldn't stay quiet for long."Throttle said, clenching his fists.
"You know he's up to no good."Modo replied, angrily.
"Look after Zuki, Charley-girl." Throttle told her. The mice rode towards the restaurant.
Sakura was beyond upset. She watched helplessly as her life's work was being destroyed. Another goon had picked up a glass tray and was about to throw it to the ground when it was snatched out of his hand by a mouse's tail. "Hey, why don't you leave this place alone?"Vinnie said, as he carefully put the tray down on a table he'd just turned right side up.
"And try tangling with us?"Throttle said, aiming his blaster at the goons. Modo aimed his bionic arm at them, too. "Annihilate that vermin!"Limburger screamed. The goons were about to fire at the mice when they were quickly disarmed them by the mice who shot their blasters out of their hands. They got scared and ran off. "Come back, you idiots!"Limburger called after them. "Give it up, hallibutt! You've lost!"Throttle retorted, aiming his blaster at Limburger. "I beg to differ." Limburger said, as he motioned towards Greasepit who held Sakura in his grasp, who continued squirming.
"Let the lady go, Greasegut!" Throttle said. "Whose gonna make me?" He countered. Suddenly, a laser cannon shot a hole behind him. Everyone looked in the direction of the blast. Charley had just fired a laser cannon at Greasepit.
"You heard the mouse."Charley told Greasepit, who gingerly released her as she backed away from them. Zuki looked at the woman's face and her eyes grew wide. "Mommy!" she cried, running to her. "Zuki?"Sakura cried out, then her face broke out into a smile. The child was running to her mother when Limburger grabbed her.
"Let me go!" She screamed.
"Zuki!" Charley cried. The mice hesitated. "Don't come any closer." Limburger said. Zuki continued to struggle.
"Stop struggling, brat! Those moldy mice won't stop me as long as I have you."
"Let my daughter go, you reeking pile of filth!" Sakura said angrily. Then she kicked him in his left shin.
"OWWWWWWW!"He yelled, hopping up and down. Greasepit grabbed Limburger and ran out towards the limo. The limo then took off. "Never mess with a mother especially if she has on stillettos!" Sakura called after them.
"Mommy!"Zuki cried, running to her mother.
"Zuki! My Zuki!"She cried, hugging her daughter.
"Oh, thank you for finding my little girl, kind sirs and ma'am." She said to the Biker Mice and Charley.
"They won't bother you again, ma'am. My bros and I will see to that." Modo replied. "Why were they bothering you to begin with?" Throttle asked. "Limburger's been trying to get me to sell him my restaurant for the past month. He wants the land it sits on." Sakura replied.
"He's been trying to buy up this whole neighborhood. He tried to force me to sell him my repair shop so I understand."
Charley said.
"I don't know how I'm going to open up my restaurant now. His gang tore my place apart."Sakura replied, looking around sadly and surveying the damage.
"My friends can help you. Won't you?" Zuki replied, turning to Charley and the mice who nodded.
The mice then began picking tables up and putting them right side up. They also examined the chairs and threw out the ones they couldn't repair. Charley, Zuki, and Sakura swept up broken vases and dishes. After two hours of cleanup, they got the restaurant in order for Sakura to open it up for the night time dinner crowd.
"Thanks again, you guys." Zuki said, hugging her mom. The restaurant closed up for the night and the mice were packing up to go back to the Scoreboard.
"Bye, Zuki."Charley said.
"Ride free, citizens!" The mice replied, riding off waving in good-bye. Zuki and her mom watched them go smiling and waving in return.
