Uhuhu there... the 11th chapter XD

Chap 11- The arrival

So they left, they were going to go back home. Who knows what they would find there! Throttle was quiet, Stoker were good he told with him. But he didn't tell about Carbine. How was her? "U said that we'll arrive directly in the city where there's your clan, right? What's the name of the city?" asked the tawny mouse.
"Sierra." answered Vice pushing a bottom of the mechanism of pilotage "Device of invisibility. Activated. Automatic driver. Activated. Maximum speed. Activated. Computer calculate the time needed."
The board's computer spoken with its metallic voice "Total time calculated: 6hours, 3 mins and s5 seconds. Time left: 5 hours and 30 seconds."
Vice broke the communication with the computer and stretched "So i can take a rest." he said "I spent a bad night!"
"U tell me!" exclaimed Ronald "Does the computer advert us when we're close to Mars?"
"Yes. But is better be awake in advantage. The Plutarkians run around the atmosphere of the planet, u know." answered the brother.
"I wonder what Sharon will do without us!"
"Probably she'll dish the dirt on us!" said Vice chuckling "Women love doing it!"
"Charley ma'am will never do it!" exclaimed mad Modo.
"Oh! Telling about gossips! U wouldn't go away from there eh?" said Vinnie sly.
The big friend turned the head on the other side sulking "My buisness." he crossed his arms on the chest.
"Hei! Don't..." tried to say Throttle interrupter by a laugh of the white mouse "Oh gods..." exclaimed the tan mouse sighing "Don't u want dish the dirt as a women Vincent?" provoked him.
"I'm not a woman!" answered Vinnie "All against Throttle who's accusing me unjustly!"
The fight was the best thing that they could do for spent the time and staying still wasn't usual for those mice.
When they were close to the planet, the calm came back in the ship. Vice put off the automatic driver and the speed "We are almost arrived." said him "Sit down.. the radar detected a sandstorm. There will be some bumps!"
The entry wasn't noticed by the enemy radars but the landing wasn't easy. Vice putt off the device of invisibility when they were near Sierra. He did the best fighting against the wild wind and the sand that covered the visual. The landing was sudden and the storm forced them to wait in the ship. Only at its end Vice opened the door and was the first who came out riding his bike. With his surprise there were some mice who were waiting for them. A lot of them had white hair and dark furr.
Ronald smiled "Another family trait are the dark furr and the white hair... o.. not all!"
"Welcome back!" exclaimed a male voice and an old mouse with black colorless furr came to them walking with his stick, the circular glasses on his nose. So one time he was a great warrior of the clan? The three mice looked at him curious but the wild wind didn't let them look better.
"Grandfather." said Vice "Is a pleasure to see u again." he greeted shaking the hand to the old mouse. Ronald did the same but to the three mice was ordered to stay still "Grandfather, they're the mice on which i told u this morning."
The old mouse looked at them trought the glasses and nodded with the head "Good. Better if we go at home, another storm is arriving, worst days are these! We'll do the introduction there." said him
"Ok grandfather." said Vice. He ordered to the others to follow them and bring with them the bikes. Throttle felt a little awkward, the same was for his freinds. A lot of eyes were on them, little mice peeped around the fabric of their moms's clothes, the leaders family were whispering each other and looked at them the younger mice or eyed them suspicious or with a smile and greeted with a sign of the head.
The mice arrived at a big house that the humans could call "mansion" . The bikes were parked in the garage for protect them from the storm. As the door was opened a male voice greeted them "Guys! How time!"
"Wha.. Stoke?" exclaimed Throttle astonished.
"Throttle!" exclaimed a female voice "I'm happy to see u!" a grey lady mouse with black hair ran to the tan mouse hugging him heatly.
"C- Carbine!" Throttle didn't stop to smile and hugged back her, the surprise was too much!
"Hei Punk! Big Fella!" greeted Stoker shaking the head of both mice "Sorry if i don't beat u but the old mouse doesn't allow me to do it!"
"We're all tired, better so!" exclaimed Modo smiling "How's doing to u?"
The old friend nodded "The usual old things, the only exception being the biker who is giving us a lot of troubles."
"Oh yes, right!" said old mouse clapping "Now we can tell quietly. Come on, sit down."
When it was all ready the mouse looked with attention the three mice. His eyes were scarlet as Vice but their calm hid the same Sharon's vitality "I'm sorry if i took informations about u from Stoker and the general Carbine, but i wanted to be sure that u were a known mice."
"Well... Grandfather... but.." tried to say Vice but the old mouse interrupted him with the movement of the hand.
"As my grandson whould andantage, i'm the temporaly leader od the clan and my name is Cloud." he said "Now kindly, i would like to know your names." the three mice obeyed and the old mouse looked at them one by one, some times his nose wrinkled as the Oliver's one when he was sleeping "And why my grandaughter is on the Earth?" asked him.
Vice was in trouble, he was so different from the usual mouse that he was "He preferred to stay with my Wife and the children." answered him.
Cloud snorted irritated "As usual... When does she find a mouse who is able to controll her?" esclaimed with a voice that it didn't seem of a lovely grandfather, but of someone who was tired of frolics.
Vice sighed "I don't think is the right moment to tell about it..."
"U're right grandson." agreed Cloud changing tone "Well... we'll approach an argument at the time." he posed the look on the three mice and pointed them everytime he spoke "Throttle, Modo and Vincent van Wham. All three good soldiers as far as i know. My son would accept u as honorary warriors." he said "U've a good temperament and the thing astonishes me. U can do great things together."
The Biker Mice felt better, Throttle smiled "Excuse me... we would like to know more on what is happening and.."
The ancient mouse interrupted him with a movement of the head "I'm arriving to it, young mouse." he said smiling " and put the glasses on the table "Then.. the situation..." he posed a look on the grandsons "U two must go to the old house and take a look if there's all ok." now he seemes so old and tired, he took a pair of keys from his pocket and gave them to Vice "Don't lose them, i haven't a double!"
"Don't worry, Granfather." said Vice tightening them in his hand.
"About the Sand Raiders, it's all under control. Those bad dogs weren't attacking us for a while but the rats attacked us often and with them there were the Plutarkians and this smart biker." explained the mouse "He didn't kill anybody yet, i dunno but he doesn't want do it... he attacks only the bikes and if the biker is able to fight he shoot him in a way to stop him."
"We can try to capture him!" said Throttle without esitation.
The old mouse smiled heartly "We tried it but he's intelligent. Everytime he escaped without problems. And we sent the best of us!"
"What about Limburger?" asked Vice.
"Oh the fat Plutarkian? Some spies saw him landing with his ship in the camp but he didn't come on the battlefield. Since he arrived on Mars the biker made his apparition."
"If he came with Limburger, after a due consideration we must capture him." said Throttle.
Vice looked worried the tan mouse, what is going in his mind? He couldn't interrupt the clan leader.
On the other and Cloud smiled satisfied "Then amen. We made u coming here for a reason, why don't try? What do u think grandson? Will u go to the camp?"
Vice sighed "Is ok for me. U know, i haven't problems, above all that Leila and my children aren't here." and then they could have the chance to search for Ruby.
"Ok, is decided! The nominative is given to the General Carbine." said Cloud "And.."
"Why her name?" asked Stoker disappointed.
The old mouse sighed patiently "Because we always did it so, Stoke. And now make me the pleasure to sit down..."
Stoked calmed down fast obeying "S.. sorry..."
"We'll need u, Stoker, for another reason, if the object is still in safe as it should be." explained Cloud "Then... what we have decided. The general Carbine has the work to catch the biker alive and take him to us. We need information, We'll make him singing. But if isn't possible, u'll interrogate him. Got it general?"
Carbine nodded "Yes sir."
"Then Stoker will work to a thing when it will brought here. In the case the situation could become badly... recover the project as u can. Got it?" Cloud looked at his nephiews who nodded "Now u can take a rest. My grandaughter will prepare your rooms at the camp. I'm coing to call her. Vice, Ronald, show them the city and while u're doing it u'll go to your house and recover the project, ok?" said it the ancient mouse took leave of them.
As Cloud was gone, Vinnie stretched "Man! What a tension!" exclaimed "But i don't see the hour to start!"
"Calm down Vincent! It will be a difficult mission." said Throttle "If the biker is so smart, we must organize a plan."
"Then, before we'll see how he fights." said Modo "let's fight against him some times."
"U may have a point, but we must pay attention." said the tan mouse "He whould kill us."
"Hey.. the storm went down! Let's go!" exclaimed Ronald.
The agreement was total and finally the mice were outside. The sleep seemed disappeared, the view of the home woke them up. Ronald was looking around anxious.
Instead Vice smiled "Don't worry! Now u'll discover she betrayed u with another mouse! I'm joking.. go to find her, i'll do the rest."
The younger brother nodded and smiled, he took his moto from the garage and got on it "We'll see later!"
"As usual..." murmured Vice looking towards the sky.
"Where's he going?" asked Throttle.
"To his love bu chi chi buh!" answered the dark mouse giggling "Give to him the chance. We'll restart to fight as soon."
Vinnie chuckled "Love bu chi chi buh!" and then laughed.
"Listen, i'm going to Cid. We must finish a thing, we'll meet again when u'll be back." said Stoker.
"U're going yet?" Throttle was sadly. The friend nodded.
"Cid? asked Vinnie "Who's him?"
"One of the few mice that is studing the bionic and he reached a lot of good sesults." said Vice "He isn't good as Karbunkle but he helped a lot of mice that were used by him as a cavy. If we'll meet him i'll introduce him to u."
"Then u're still working at this thing." said Carbine.
Stoked shrugged "That's not easy! And i don't want know what the old mouse is going to have for me! Everytime he called me he had always something hard to do."
The lady mouse sighed "Ok.. go. I'm going to call the Commander, so they'll don't be worried for my absence."
Throttle seemed shoked "U're going too?"
"I'll be right back, don't worry macho-mouse!" she answered kissing him on the lips "See u later!"
The tan mouse looked at her going away, Vice put an hand on his shoulder "U'll see her again. Unfurtunatelly having a girl as her isn't easy. I mean.. she is cute and smart but she is so busy! Then.. come on!"
The three got on their bikes, weared their helmetts and followed Vice. After the storm Sierra became full of life. The market restarted and the citizens returned to their buisness. The city was inhabited by the clan's mice, normal citizens and some members of the Freedom Fighter who greeted with a smile the Biker Mice at their passage. So they didn't forget them!
Finally they arrived at a deserted house. Vice got off his bike and took the keys from his pocket.
"Since when u don't came here?" exclaimed Vinnie "This house is falling in pieces!"
"Since the last attack. Which killed our mother. Sierra improved his security system but the danger is always in ambush."
"Why did u leave an important thing in an old house?" asked the white mouse.
The dark mouse was going to put the keys in the lock but he stopped "Why is the door opened?"
"What?" Throttle came closer and watched. Indeed the door was opened and there weren't signs of forcing.
Vice pushed it and watched inside the building. Everything was at his place as years ago: destroyed fornitures, broken pictures, and everything was covered by a big layer of powder "U know, my father wasn't only a big warrior but also a great sciencist." explained him.
"There from who Sharon had inherited her intelligence!" exclaimed Throttle.
"I can say that Sharon is the epitome of all what my father could wish: she is a genius, she knows what do a lot of times, and she can do complex counts in mind to making envy to Cid himself. It's a pity she isn't skilled on the bionic too. So she should be perfect." said Vice walking carefully among the ruins. Looking the floor he noticed something that blocked him. Traces. Someone was there before them.
"What's up? Problems?" asked Throttle.
Vice didn't answer but he ran in the room that the humans could call living room "But... impossible..." murmured him. He went closer to the library moved on the side, the traces on the powder led to it and over the door that must be hid by the library. But the door wasn't hidden, it was opened and a pair of keys danghled from the lock. The dark mouse looked at them with attention, the keys were identical to the pair that he had in his pocke but were older than which the mouse had.
He took and put them in the pocket of the pants and climbed down the stairs expecting yet what he could find.
"Man!" exclaimed Vincent looking around him.
The hidden room was big and full of strange devices, it seemed to being in Karbunkle's lab but without the hellish devices that could be used on poor cavyes. A lot of those machines were covered by sheets. Vice rummaged trought the parchments but he didn't find what was searching, he hit the wall with a punch making an hall but something attracted his attention. The mouse knelt and took what it seemed a long white hair. He looked it, of who could it be? "Come back to my granfather..." murmured him "We haven't other tings to do here."
Although he was sure of his decision, the white haired mouse stopped himself and watched his old house. It wasn't the right moment to swim in the memories, so he left to himself only some minutes. Followed by his three companions he made a trip trought the building. He saw again the room where he and his brothers slept for years, theire toys were still on the floor. He went inside the room, Vinnie was going to follow him but Throttle stopped him with an hand on the shoulder "We come back at the library room, when u want we'll leave. take your time." he said dragging with him snow ball and Modo followed them in silence.
Vinnie got finally free from his friend and sat on a close armchair raising a big dust "Oh man!" he exclaimed standing up.
Throttle laughed "Pay attention next time!"
"Maybe next time the net will break and u'll fall directly on the floor!" joked the grey mouse.
"Not funny!" said Vincent "Oh! Look there! Photos!" he pointed his eyes on a group of photos on a ledge.
"Hei hei Vincent! Is bad doing the buisness of the others!" exclaimed the tan mouse.
Vinnie snorted cheerfully "But if the photos are here that means that they must be watched!" said.
Throttle was going to answered but his friend wasn't wrong.
"Hei! Is him Vice?" exclaimed the white mouse "Oh.. nope.. the furr is black!" then he smiled "And her? Sharon?"
Throttle pulled his ear "Calm down! Maybe they're their parents."
Modo came closer and watched the photos. All of them prortrayied or the full family or some little mice who were playing together. Indeed the adult mice were the copy of Sharon and Vice but the color made the difference. The male had a black four and white hair, the eyes were scarlet but without the scar that Vice had. The look was smart and deep. His arm was surrounding the shoulders of a lady mouse with red-brown furr, her eyes were green and her hair light brown. Her smile was beautifull and the look was bright.
For a while the grey mouse watched sadly the photos. He thought about how much of things were destroyed by the war, how much of lifes were killed by it and the wishes that were blew out by a rain of bullets. Modo tought about Oliver, Jade and Will.. so young.. and the little Ruby. They must find her at all costs!
Who interrupted his thoughts was Vice who called them for leave. He seemed to calm down, with him he had a little mouse doll "I'll repair it. Sharon will be happy to see her again." said him with a little smile "Oh.. u saw the photos! It seemes nobody touched them." he took the photo that portayited all the family and put it in his photograph holder in his pocket "Come on, i'll introduce Cid to u! He's working closer to here."
"Oh nice!" exclaimed Vinnie "But.. he know fighting?" asked.
Suddenly Vice turned over him and looked Vincent puzzled "Nope. he's good with the bikes, he drives very well but... no... he doesn't fight. That's the weak point of the sciencists!"
"But your sister knows do it!" exclaimed the white mouse.
Vice sighed "I tought to her. Then let's go!" he closed the door at his shoulders.
They took their bike and left for the lab of the mouse called Cid.
Cis was a thin type with a smart look, messy light browned hair. Since the mouse were captured by Karbunkle and Stoker was brainwashed, Cid involved himself to the study of the bionic and started a kind of silent challenge with the mad sciencist. Stoker was with him and finally they finished their work.
As Cid met them, his attention was attracted by Modo's arm and looked it interested "Are u one of the mice who escaped from Karbunkle's lab?" asked.
Modo was going to answer but was interrupted by Stoker "He was who liberated our companion, u would say!"
The sciencist opened his eyes "Then it's an honour having u here!"
The grey mouse smiled embarassed "But i didn't do all alone! My friend gave to me an hand!"
"Oh yes with our awesome gags!" exclaimed Vincent laughing "So useful!"
"Vice told us u that u helped the mice that were captured by karbunkle." said Throttle.
Cid smiled "It wasn't easy because i was only at the first studies. But now i can change two bionic eyes in one second!" he bragged.
"That means that u can help our friend to see without his glasses?" asked Modo astonished.
"Of course!" answered Cid "And i would give one to u too."
Throttle seemed embarassed but Modo was interested.
"U know.. u must think about seriously." said Vinnie who for this time thought about what to say "Then... it would be awesome if u can see with YOUR eyes and not trought the lens. And u Modo, finally u'll can have both eyes.. and.. have back your charm! Ouch!"
Modo punched him back on the head.
"Don't argue u two!" said Throttle "The idea is nice and we'll think on it, but now we have other things to do."
"Coming back to my grandfather... and leaving for the camp." said Vice.
"Right." agreed the tan mouse.
