A Serious Fix- chapter 11
"Just scanned the area." Vinnie said, using the infrared visor on his helmet to detect enemy aliens.
"Didn't find a thing. No Plutarkian ships, no cruisers, nothing."
"Same here." Modo replied, I don't get it. I mean it doesn't look like Throttle's walking into a trap."
"Yeah, wonder what the general wants with him." Vinnie said.
...
The world suddenly came to a screeching halt at those two words that came straight out of Carbine's mouth. Throttle let go of her and slowly sat down on the seat of his bike. He felt like someone just sucker punched him in the groin. He was in a daze. Forget that the timing was all wrong and that they were in the middle of fighting the Fish Faces.
"How? How did all this happen?" He asked, slowly glancing over at Carbine who gave him a "Are-you-kidding-me?" look.
"I mean, I know how it happens, but when?"
"Just found out today. I went to have my yearly physical. You know all military personnel are required to do it. Doctor examined me. Then he paused. I asked him if anything was wrong. That's when he requested the nurse to assist him. He told me he was giving me a sonogram. I asked him why. I told him I wasn't pregnant. That's when he told me I was."
"Unbelievable." Throttle said, shaking his head.
"What's so unbelievable about it? Hello? we had sex, I conceived, and I'm now having your baby." Carbine said, "Which means you're gonna be a daddy."
"I know, but..."
"But nothing! You're gonna step up to the plate and be my kid's father or else!"
"It's my kid, too. I never said I wouldn't be in my child's life! I want this child and you. Carbine, I love you!"
"Throttle, I.. love you, too! I know I don't always show it, but I do. I always have." She said, eyes glistening with happy tears.
He got up and kissed her on the lips. Carbine felt a fluttering in her heart. She kissed him back.
"Woooooo!"
The startled, blushing couple turned to see Vinnie and Modo whooping and cheering them on.
"How long have you two bozos been standing there?" Carbine fumed.
"Long enough to hear that you and Throttle are gonna get a visit from Mr. Stork real soon." Vinnie grinned.
"I thought I told you to pull back and follow at a distance." Throttle said.
Carbine turned to look at him.
"I didn't know if this was a trap set by the Reek Fishes. I had to take precautions." He explained, quickly.
"Congrats on your little one, General- ma'am." Modo said to Carbine.
"All this just gives me more of an reason to have this fight with the Big Cheese over with sooner than expected." Throttle said, determination in his voice.
"I hear ya, bro. I feel like hunting down and grilling a big ol' cheese sandwich!" Vinnie grinned.
"Yeah, let's go fry that Rot Fish's fins once and for all!" Modo cried out, fist pumped in the air.
"Now hold on! You three can't just go rushing in there without a plan." Carbine said.
"Sure we can. We do it all the time." Vinnie replied, then to his two bros, " I say we rush in, throw Carbunkle through a wall, blow up the Big Cheese's Tower with him in it, and then drag his blown sorry carcass back to Mars to stand trial for his crimes against Earth and Mars."
"Simple, to-the-point. I like it." Throttle said.
"More like stupid and reckless." Carbine retorted.
Throttle got on his bike and put on his helmet. Carbine hopped on behind him.
"Someone's gotta make sure you don't get your fool self killed." She said, as he handed her a spare helmet which she put on.
"Didn't know ya cared." He teased.
"Have to look out for you after all you are the father of my child." She explained.
"Awww, you two already sound like an old married couple." Modo grinned.
A faint blush formed on the face of the tan furred leader. The same blush appeared in Carbine's cheeks.
"Throttle and Carbine sitting in a-."Vinnie began to sing.
"Zip it, Vincent!" Throttle told him.
"Now, let's rock..."
"And ride!" Everyone said, as the three motorcycles went out of Quigley Field.
...
And at Limburger Plaza, Lawrence Limburger was nursing his wounds. His latest attempt to get Quigley Field fell apart thanks to the Biker Mice. He sat at his desk digging his gloved hand into a bowl of wriggling worms. He grabbed a handful and threw them into his mouth. He mechanically was munching them deep in thought.
"There has to be a way to get rid of those meddlesome rodents." He thought.
The High Chairman, Lord Camenbert, had just spoken to Limburger. It wasn't good news. He threatened to cut off his funding if he didn't bring him Quigley Field. He promised and managed to talk the High Chairman into giving him one more chance.
"Alright, Limburger, this is your last chance. You'd better come through with better results this time or you're through!" He threatened. Then the screen went blank.
He sat down depressed. He was lost in thought when the alarm in his office went off. He pressed the button on his vidcom to see three bikers scaling up the side of his building on motorcycles.
"The Biker Mice!" He exclaimed, "Goon Squad, annihilate those door mice!"
Dune buggies with punked out goons came at the three heroes.
"Looks like the Big Cheese rolled out the welcome mat, bros!" Throttle said, activating his Nuke Knuckles and slugging two goons with both fists.
"Then let me send him a thank you note!" Vinnie replied, tossing a lit flare at a dune buggy which exploded ejecting the goon driving it into the air.
"As well as our regards!" Modo said, firing the laser cannon on his bionic arm blowing up one dune buggy. Goons flying.
Carbine fired her blaster knocking off a goon trying to sneak up Throttle's left.
"Not bad, babe." Throttle said, admiringly. She grinned.
Killer good looks and she could hold her own in battle, it was no wonder he fell head over heels in love with her.
...
"Carbunkle!" Limburger called, angrily on his vidcom.
"You bellowed, Your Over Ripeness?" Carbunkle asked.
"Those wretched Biker Mice are here. What do you intend to do about them?"
"If you have rats, you set the best rat trap possible. Observe!" The deranged doctor hissed, pressing a button on a console. A huge tough metal robot appeared out of the floor.
"The Demolisher!"
"I eat rats and mice for breakfast!" The giant robot said, eyes glowing and fists hit together.
"Splendid!" Limburger grinned.
Suddenly there was a loud crash as the three mice came crashing through his window.
"You know you need to hire better help, Fish Breath!" Throttle teased, shaking his head,"You send the same goons after us over and over and it always ends the same: us kicking their sorry butts "
"It sure gets old real fast." Modo chuckled.
"It's over for you, Lard Butt! You're going back to Mars with us to be punished for your crimes!" Vinnie told him.
"Oh, I don't think so, dear boy." Limburger said, as Carbunkle appeared with the robot.
"Say hello to my new associate, Biker Mice."
"Your days are numbered, mice!" He replied, aiming a huge laser gun at them.
Throttle put his forefinger and middle finger in his mouth and whistled. The three bikes along with Carbine came flying into the opening. The bikes shot the robot knocking it down.
"Ah ha ha ha! Maximum Putdown!" Vinnie laughed.
"Oh, I don't think so." Carbunkle said, pressing a button on a remote. The robot got up quickly and grabbed the first thing it saw which was Carbine. It had her in a bear hug. The latter struggled to get away to no avail. The robot had a tight grip on her.
Throttle activated his Nuke Knuckles. Vinnie lit his flares preparing to hurl them at the robot. Modo aimed his laser cannon at the robot.
"Let the lady go, Bolts for Brains!" Throttle screamed.
"Oh, I can assure you that your dear illustrious general won't be harmed. She will be released. All you miserable rodents have to do is surrender yourselves to me." Limburger said.
"Don't do it, Throttle!" Carbine cried out, "You know what that half baked hallibutt's promises are worth."
Throttle was in a fix. He could risk his life but not Carbine's, nor his bros, but now he had the life of his unborn child to think about. He could never forgive himself if anything happened to that baby. The child deserved every chance it got. He didn't even know if their baby was going to be a boy or a girl. He wanted the chance to find out. He would do everything he could to keep the mother of his child alive even if it meant giving himself up to Limburger.
"Fine. You win." He told Limburger.
