Chapter 9

"Sit down Miss Harley. Unless you have hardcore proof then that is all we need to hear from you!" one of the elders all but shouted.

Stepping up to the council Bella looked at them and sighed. "This is my daughter ." She reached down and clasped hands with Harley and smiled. " She is the twin to another daughter. The Plutarkian's mad scientist Karbunkle was using a lot of the female Mice for their eggs. My father had taken me to him for a wellness exam and then I was used to have my eggs harvested without my knowledge. I was implanted with Modo while my twin daughters Harley and Charley was experimented on and placed in other women. Charley was genetically altered to appear human and was implanted into a human woman. Harley was implanted into Asa Hardcase. With that being said, I would like to have her name changed to that of Harley Maverick."

"Ludicrous! I have known Bella Maverick for years and she had one pregnancy immediately after her marriage to Luggs and the product was Modo Maverick!" Elder Zook replied.

Looking disgusted at Fred, Elder Ratchet and Elder Zook forgot all decorum and showed their hostility. Fred looked at Vinnie and said something that sounded like Payroll. Vinnie grimaced and then growled a little under his breath. Elder Zook looked at Vinnie and started to say something when Vinnie beat him to the punch. "If I may address the tribune...I wish to ask that the marriage contract to Harley be nullified. Under that she is not the daughter of Jix and Asa Hardcase. With that being said I wish to have it nullified for falsification."

"Well that may be all good and well but you know that the marriage contracts are binding" one of the elders reiterated.

"However, my contract is with the daughter of Jix and Asa Hardcase. Harley Hardcase is not the daughter of them. This woman standing before you is the daughter of General Stoker and Bella Maverick. We have discovered proof that shows that she is. If you can not see to nullify the contract how about declaring the Harley Hardcase be declared deceased. Then allow the daughter of General Stoker and Bella Maverick be recognized as an individual."

"With all do respect this needs to be put to a vote. However this is outlandish! Any of this testimony could be made up. How are we to know the truth?" Elder Beemer stated.

"I am here to state this is fact and we can prove it !"

Speaking up was Elder Beemer when he all but yelled " Your out-of-order! Security who is that person!"

"I am Dr. Vero and I can show you the proof that what they are saying is true. I am the one that has gone over the notes and deciphering it all."

"It is too late it is time for the vote, all those in favor of the dissolution of the marriage contract say Aye."

No one spoke.

"All those against it, say nay"

"Nay!" was shouted.

"Since it is clear that the marriage of Van Wham and Hardcase shall be preformed in two weeks time. You have been seen living at her residence and there for the marriage rights must be performed. " Elder Ratchet smirked as he handed over the verdict. Then without warning a shriek came out as an irate Fred jumped up onto the tables in front of the tribune.

"Yous dumb mouseys! Yous was on payroll for years!"

"Why would we believe anything you have to say freak?" Elder Zook spoke up, nervously looking around.

With a smirk of his own Modo was the first to speak. "Why don't you check his mind or are you not mouse enough?"

"NO" Shouted Elders Zook and Ratchet.

Seeing enough of the rest of the Elders reactions; the eldest of them stood up. "Come. Creature, I will be mouse enough to see into your mind."

"Ok mousey let's do this."

The other elders watched curiously and Elders Zook and Ratchet became nervous as could be. The elder leaned in and touched his antennas to Fred's head.

"Thank you for hearing me out Elder Moray. Allow me to show you everything that has happened from my entrapment into this form by Dr. Karbunkle to the desolation to your planet and the traitors that you should be executing Zook and Ratchet..."

Back to where Det. Williams along with Charley and Zee are.

"Zerelda how much longer are we going to be away from the bros? I miss Vinnie and I think I am ready to face him now." Charley exclaimed as she kept punching on to the punching dummy.

"When I feel you are ready Charley girl. Your not quite your self yet. I need to make sure that your mind is back intact. Can you tell me for certain that you are willing to risk breaking apart when you see him?" Zerelda looked at her thoughtfully as she watched for her response.

"I know! This is so hard Zerelda! I want to go back to Mars. I miss my Vinnie and I miss the rest of the gang! I just want to go home! I want to make Limburger, Hendricks, and Karbunkle pay so much! I want to rip that bloody fish lip ass wipe off the face of Earth and mount his body to the wall! I want to castrate that thing Hendricks and skin him alive making him bleed really slow and die as painfully as possible." Tears formed and spilled out of her eyes silently as she kicked and beat the dummy in front of her. Over the time they had been at the hidden cave on the moon; Charley had improved. Zerelda had taught her and helping her heal slowly. Not pushing her but showing her how to piece the tattered pieces in her mind to gether. She was still scared of what Hendricks did to her and Zerelda.
