New Mouse City
3 months later
Thea's P.O.V
These past 3 months have not been easy for the citizens of New Mouse City. No one knows why or how but crime has been on the rise and police can't stop it. The criminals that have been running around aren't the kind that gets busted for their lack of forethought. Instead, these guys have the means to accomplish what they want. It began when the King and princess of Whiskiristan arrived at New Mouse City, When they arrived reporters all over mouse island wanted to get in on the story, I and my brother included. When the king and his sister arrived they were happy to see us. Well, the king was happy to see me because he had a crush on me. We later found out the purpose of the visit was so the king could see the city where I grew up. The king asked me to give him and his sister a tour of the city. As embarrassing as it was seeing everyone stare at us I agreed, though I wouldn't do it without my brother. The king wasn't about ruling the same way a king would rule. He was more into doing things his way, for example, roller skating around his castle, which made some of the interactions he had with mice weird because they were not expecting a king to act so...non traditional. But I'm going a little off-topic, the point is it was a media frenzy, reporters were eager to score an interview with the monarchs, especially reporters from the daily rat Sally Rasmausen, and Simon Squealer. They weren't happy about us getting most of the attention from the royal siblings but I didn't care how those two felt. After night fell on the city and we had seen some of the sights, the king and his sister stayed at a hotel that wasn't too far from the Rodent's Gazette. The next day the king and the princess's bodyguard was found dead and both the King and the princess were missing. There was no ransom letter, nothing. After the royals disappeared celebrities Talia Squeaks, and Diva Parmesani, who were in the city a day before the king and princess arrived were also abducted. Talia was taken while she was surrounded by paparazzi. A group of mice pushed their way through the crowd and one of them just picked her up while the others scared everyone away with gunfire. Parmesani was taken during a performance. Just like the royal sibling's, no one took responsibility. With all these abductions, authorities had to try and find them. A week went by with no luck, Hercule poirat, a friend of my brother asked us to help him out. Not too long after another one of geronimo's friends, Kornelius Von Kickpaw, who works for the mouse island government came to ask for help. He revealed that while mouse island was freaking out over what happened to the king and princess the rest of the world seem to be completely unaware of what happened, including the people of Whiskiristan. My brother suggested that all this must be part of a plan but what's the endgame is anyone's guess. After our agreement to work together I thought that this mystery was as good as solved but as time went on things got worse. Crime began to rise, the criminals being capable of doing whatever they want and getting away with it. Robberies, assaults, and abductions, the mice that were being taken were mice that worked for both the Daily Rat and Rodent's gazette, There were also mice who were being abducted at random, one of them being Ben and Pandora's teacher , even mice who Geronimo knew were also being abducted such as Creepella, along with her niece Shivereen, and Petunia, who was Geronimo's crush. Eventually, even Hercule and Kornelius were taken, and all of this took place throughout a month. By the end of the first month, my best friend Suzie Shuttermouse disappeared, who was doing this, all these abductions and other crimes are connected but what is the point to it all. It was personal to me, and my brother that we find out who's responsible and bring them to justice.
After 3 months, the citizens of new mouse city are now always looking behind their backs every few seconds, and have also begun to lose faith in the police who were nowhere near solving the case. The chief's been working his detectives to the bone and ends up more furious when they couldn't find anything. He only assumes that these criminals must be working together as a large group of organized criminals. As for me and my brother, we hope that one of these days we'll find something that will allow us to solve this case and find our friends. Pandora has taken the abduction of her aunt Petunia pretty hard, though Ben was quick to try his best comfort her and assure her that Petunia would be found and I know we'll find her...it's just taking longer than expected.
I was in my brother's office when he told me about Sally Rassmousen's latest article which was meant to undermine the authorities on mouse island.
Geronimo: " Sally has been claiming that the police may be the ones responsible for all this by using the fact that the police haven't been able to catch any of these criminals, she's trying to make people believe that this is something that the police are doing to make themselves look like heroes." Geronimo said annoyed.
"Are you honestly surprised she would do something like this," I responded also annoyed.
Geronimo: "No I really shouldn't be but Sally is also trying to bring the mouse island government in all this." Geronimo said facepalming, "What this woman won't do for a story."
" Don't know, don't care, we should be worrying more about any potential leads that could take us to our friends," I said urgently.
Geronimo: " Your right, which is why I called you into my office, but before I do that I want to ask how Pandora is doing." Geronimo asks concerned
" She's getting by, Ben has been helping her by comforting her," I respond feeling down.
Geronimo: " Ben is sweet for everything he is doing for her, He cares for her," Geronimo said getting up from his chair and looking out the window. " Petunia, why her too, What did she do that lead to her getting captured. I would like to believe that maybe she found something out."
" Maybe the same thing happened with Suzie, but we won't know until we find them. Anyway, you called me into office why again?" I ask, hoping that this would be what I wanted to hear.
Geronimo: " It's not much but a fellow journalist called me and told me about how she saw a group of shady looking mice heading towards an abandoned warehouse outside the city, she also said that she saw them take someone out of the trunk of a car and that the mouse looked like Susie" Geronimo said in a serious voice.
As soon as I heard that, I began making my way to my motorcycle. If there was a small chance that she was there I had to take it, Suzie is my best friend, and getting her back could bring us closer to finding the others.
Meanwhile at the Daily Rat
Sally's P.O.V
" Still nothing! More than two months have passed since I put you in charge of this since then you have always returned with nothing!"
Simon: " Sally, I am trying my best but these guys are good at hiding, plus these guys are the same mice who swiped important mice off their feet and disappeared almost as if they were never there." Simon nervously said, while trying not to flinch from my wrath.
These 3 months have been the most infuriating for me because not only have the mice who work for me have been getting abducted but I also lost my cousin the shadow who I got to go and look for the missing royals. I lost contact with her a few hours after I sent her. Since then I have not heard anything from her, either this is some joke of hers or something really did happen to her I want to know but I am not about going into a situation were I may not walk out of, I have mice who can do that for me, though each one I sent ended up like the last. How Simon managed to avoid disappearing is beyond me, however, that is still no excuse for him always coming back with nothing.
" I don't want any excuses just do what I ask and find something that I can write about!"
As I see Simon walking out of the office, I wonder what the Stiltons are up to, I imagine not any better, though I wouldn't put it past myself that maybe they may have something. I gave Simon a call.
" Simon, I need you to go and check on the Stiltons, maybe they have something this time...just actually come back with something."
Outside New Mouse City
Thea's P.O.V
I made my way over to the warehouse that the other journalist called about, I meet her on the way their, she was heading back because she wasn't all too keen on disappearing and making her kids worry. So, I understood and went on without her. After making it to the abandoned warehouse I did see the mice there, all wearing hooded robes, they appeared to be fixing up the place. I made sure to keep my distance, it would be a big mistake to assume that these guys weren't able to watch out for snoops. If Susie was in there I needed to be sure. I was making my way to the warehouse by going from bush to bush until finally, I was close enough to hear a conversation from two mice.
Thug#1: " This is where they will go, we need to make sure that this goes off without a hitch."
Thug#2: " I know, however not sure how much longer we can keep this up,"
Thug#1: " We tried everything yet all our efforts were to no avail, The kid still refuses to show."
Refuses to show, don't know who they are referring t, and is this why they have been doing this. They've been trying to lure someone out if so then who. I don't know but this is something that I need to talk to Geronimo about. I then see another mouse heading towards the two mice that are talking.
Thug#3: " Hey you two, Courtney called and would like to offer up thanks for taking part in her game where one of the hostages is let go and a reward is given to whoever catches the hostage."
Thug#2: " sure, we didn't mind playing along, we did need something to ease the boredom around here."
Thug#1: " What did happen to the snoop anyway after we gave her gave to Courtney"
Thug#3: " She already placed the snoop back in the others, and moved them all to a different location."
Susie, they had already moved her. I need to find out where maybe they might mention where she is if I keep listening in but with all these mice walking around one of them might spot me. I wasn't sure how long I had but I needed to know where Susie was, I began thinking of what to do until I heard them talking again.
Thug#1: " Anyway did the boss say anything about what we will be doing tomorrow."
Thug#2: " Yeah, assault, abduction or what"
Thug#3: "We're going to make a move on those two mice than run those news companies since both of them are desperate to know what we're up to, so the boss figured that now is the time to show them."
They were going to take Geronimo, I have to get back to him. I quickly made my way out that area and I was able to go to the spot where I kept my motorcycle which was a distance away from the warehouse. Once on I sped away from that area, I had answers to a few questions, however now I have more questions.
Abandoned warehouse
Thug#2: " So, That scared her away. Do we give chase."
Thug#3: " No, not yet, Courtney's been getting bored lately and she's been wanting to screw around with the mice that have been trying to find us."
Thug#1: " Oh?"
Thug#3: " Yeah, she has already gotten started by sending some mice over to the houses of the girl that just left and her brother since those two are the most series about finding us. She also sent mice to take what little the authorities have on us, which is barely anything."
Thug#1: " Well, if they don't have anything on us then why is she sending mice to take what little they have."
Thug#3: "She knows she doesn't have to, She just wants to."
Thug#1: " While we are talking about women, What do we do with the snoop that saw us here earlier."
Thug#3: " She's already being placed with the other random victim's we took"
Rodent's Gazette
Thea's P.O.V
I arrived back at The Rodent's Gazette and rushed into my brother's office to see if he was okay.
"Geronimo!"
Geronimo: " Woah! Thea! What's going on what happened!" Geronimo shouted spooked.
" Thank goodness you're okay," I said, relieved that Geronimo was still in one piece.
Geronimo: " Well, yeah I'm okay, why wouldn't I be." Geronimo said confused
I inform Geronimo of what I saw over at the abandoned warehouse. The look he gives is of worry.
Geronimo: " So, the increase in crimes in New Mouse City was all to lure someone out"
" Yeah, Though I didn't learn who they were trying to lure out, or why they were trying to lure him out, whoever he is, I think we need to find him first. As for Susie, I don't know where they moved her." I said disappointed.
Geronimo: " Don't be disappointed Thea, you may not have learned where she and the others are, but you did learn that they were alive." Geronimo said trying to assure me.
Geronimo: " Not only that you learned who has them."
Geronimo: " This Courtney, she likes to hunt her hostages for sport, If it's true then I can only imagine how scared Petunia is being used like that to get rid of the boredom her captors feel. Not only that Shivereen is among the mice that were captured. I know Creepella is with her, but knowing what they did with Susie, who's to say they would have no problem with doing that to a kid."
Geronimo was getting more upset, and I completely understood because they hunted my best friend for fun. It makes wonder how many of these so-called games did they play with the mice they took. I may not have gotten much information in regards to our friends, but the little information I did get was a start.
Streets of New Mouse City
Thea's P.O.V
Later
I asked Geronimo if he was going to be okay on his way home, He told me that he would be fine and instead asked me if I would be okay on my way back home given how I saw something that I wasn't supposed to see. I assured him that I would be okay and so we went our separate ways. On the way back home, I wondered what our next was going to be, I planned on going back to that warehouse and see what more I can hear from the mice there. Though if I returned them. the mice might see me and catch me, However, it meant that I could learn more of their victim's whereabouts then I have to take it.
After making it back home I was looking forward to adding what I learned to the lead board that I had in my room. With what I learned then maybe if I were to use it and compare it with what I had on board already then maybe it can help out, or maybe not but it wouldn't hurt to try at least.
As soon as I enter my room I find that my lead board is gone along with everything else I had on there. I looked around my house to see if I can find how the thieves got into my house, I could not find anything. The mice that came into my house knew how to cover up their tracks. I immediately suspected that the mice over by the warehouse had something to do with it, I called Geronimo to tell him of what happened, He tells me that the same happened to him. we both agree to speak more about it tomorrow after we hung up I sat on my bed to think.
After a few minutes, I hear a loud noise coming from outside, it was like an explosion so I rushed out to see what was going on. I was surprised to see nothing outside, I then hear another loud noise, the noise was coming from the sky so I looked up and still saw nothing. It was rather cloudy so that didn't make things any better, Then there was another loud noise but this time there was a flash within the clouds which revealed the silhouettes of two mice. I rubbed my eyes real quick as I wasn't sure about what I had just seen, Then another loud noise, accompanied by another flash which showed the silhouettes of two again, this time the two mice looked different. This happened a few more times, and each time the silhouettes would be in a different spot in the sky. Soon after two bright lights emerge from the clouds and head in the direction where the ocean is.
I jumped on my motorcycle and headed in the same direction. I called Geronimo to tell him that I was heading towards the beams of light.
Geronimo: " Thea, did you see those balls of light! Their heading to the ocean." My brother was excited but a little scared from what he saw. Although he definitely will not ignore a good story, plus he also doesn't want to be out scooped by the daily.
" Yeah I saw it I am pretty sure that lots of other mice saw it as well. Anyway, I wanted called to tell you that I am heading over to the harbor,"
Geronimo: " Alright then, I'll meet you there."
New mouse harbor
Thea's P.O.V
I passed by Geronimo's house and saw him about to enter his car, I offered him a ride and he accepted. Once on we went on our way to the harbor. Once making it to the harbor we looked around and it was surprisingly empty. I assumed more mice would be hereafter what happened in the sky, but I was wrong. Maybe they might turn up later, although I was sure that Sally wouldn't be too far behind. So I am hoping that both me and Geronimo would find whatever crashed in the ocean.
Geronimo: " I am not sure what exactly we are supposed to be looking at. Whatever crashed is most likely now at the bottom of the ocean or just very deep."
He was right, we needed to go to the meta mouse so we can try to find whatever crashed in the ocean. We began to make our way out of the harbor until the floor began to shake before suddenly stopping.
Geronimo: " Thea, you felt that right?"
" I'm standing right next to you, how could I not feel it."
The ground begins to shake again, this time it's a bit more intense. It only lasted for a few seconds before immediately stopping. After it stopped we heard an explosion behind us. We quickly turned around and saw the explosion, the explosion came from the water, it was quite a distance away but still loud.
Geronimo: " Thea?"
" Yes, Geronimo"
Geronimo: " I don't think that it would be wise to go and check that out because I am terrified that another explosion would happen, and I am at the dead center of it when it happens."
As if on cue, there was another explosion, though it was far away from us. the thing about this explosion was where it happened, it happened in an entirely different spot. Then a series of explosions were happening in different spots of the sea at a rapid pace. While these explosions were a distance away, they were close to the island where mouse islands statue of liberty was at. I turned to look at Geronimo when I saw that he was on the floor unconscious, he had passed out, very likely due to fright. I was about to carry him out of the harbor when I looked out onto the sea, looking at the explosions coming from the water. I wondered what was going on when another explosion, this time it was where the beach was. when that explosion happened I saw two figures shoot up into the air and from what I was seeing they were fighting.
" What are those things?" I said in confusion, and a little afraid.
I saw the two figures fly around and whenever they got to close there was always a loud bang. The two beings were hitting each other with such force that sounds from it can be heard from where I was standing. The two beings flew a little close to where I was before shooting up higher into the sky. Before they did I was able to see that the beings fighting were mice. I was beginning to wonder if this was all a dream so I bit my paw, which didn't do anything other than make me bleed.
" OUCH! Curse our sharp teeth that hurt. Okay so this isn't a dream, and those mice are flying and having what I am pretty sure is a deathmatch. Geronimo, what do you… oh, forgot you passed out."
What I needed to do was get me and Geronimo as far away as I could. As I carried him, I looked up and saw the mice flying to the harbor office before stopping above it. I couldn't see what exactly they were doing but I think they were arguing for some sort. I was more concerned about getting me and my brother out of the area. My motorcycle was parked near the harbor office so I ran the risk of being spotted by the two mice, but I had to get us out of here. As I was getting near my bike I was able to get a better look at the mice fighting. One of them looked like he was wearing what I think was Spartan armor, while the other mice had a more business attire with his trench coat suit, and tie. I was able to hear them speak.
Spartan mouse: " How do you plan on getting us back?"
His voice was kinda rough, and comparing the way he is dressed with his opponent made me wonder why they were dressed the way they did at all. If they were regular mice I would have assumed that maybe they just got out of a costume party, however, these aren't normal mice, so I could only guess why they were dressed like that.
Business mouse: " You don't have to worry about that, I know of another way to get us back."
Spartan mouse: " If it's what I'm thinking about then I highly doubt it, you won't be able to make half the journey in the state I'm gonna leave you in.
Business mouse: " That doesn't matter, And seeing as how you lost your only means of escape then I have all the more reason to use this way to get us back home.
I'd be lying if I said if I had any clue as to what they were talking about, I'm still trying to wrap my head around what is happening. I see the Spartan looking mouse turning his head to look at me. He raised his paw into the air and a dark cloud began to form around it. Slowly from the cloud emerges a sword, The Spartan mouse throws the sword at me and it was coming fast, I thought that was it for me until the business mouse suddenly appears right in front of me and took the hit. The sword pierced his body and came out of his back but only the tip of the sword was the part that made it through. Blood was dripping from the tip of the sword. The Business mouse then turns his head to look at me.
Business mouse: " Are you okay?."
"Yes"
This mouse saved me but now he was hurt, Yet he was more concerned about me than himself. I tried to say something but the only thing out of my mouth was a yes.
Business mouse: " It's good that you're okay, look you need to get out of here. I'll take this guy down.
As he flies up to confront the spartan mouse he pulls the sword out of his chest and throws it. He then charges at the mouse fast and is taking him to the ocean. It's not very far just a small distance from the harbor. The two mice then fight with the business mouse using other abilities while the Spartan mouse creates swords to fight his opponent. The abilities that the business mouse used varied from lighting, fire, ice, and some pretty strong abilities, the power that he used that was strong was when he created a ball of light that had a bluish aura coming from it and shooting it. The beam was bright but not too bright and when it hit his opponent it sent him far into the air before exploding. Since it was cloudy the bright flash was dimmed. Some of the other abilities he used were very bizarre, such as the ability he used when he got sent flying and crashed into the ground near me as I was leaving the area with my brother. He got up and looked at me, apologized for scaring me don't know why he did that and made golden blades with a black stripe at the center appear from his back, shoulders, arms, knees, and with claws with the same color and stripe coming from his knuckles. He then flew back to fight the Spartan mouse.
As I was driving away with my brother riding behind me, I had to make sure he wouldn't fall off the bike while I was driving. I was looking back and wondered if that mouse was going to be alright. I was hoping that it was going to be okay until There was a big lightning strike, I saw the lighting raining down, it was going on for ten seconds before finally ending in a very big explosion.
After the explosion, I drove back to the harbor and saw both mice come out of the cloud of smoke and fall into the ocean. I got off my bike and set Geronimo carefully next to the bike. I then rushed over to the ocean and jumped in, I swam to find the mouse who saved me and fortunately for me he landed pretty close to the harbor while the other mouse landed a far distance from where the beach was. I wouldn't be able to get to the Spartan mouse since he was farther away, so I could only try and get the business mouse. I found him sinking to the bottom and got him before he sank further down. The state he was in was very bad. He had burns all over his body and his left arm was almost gone. I carried him up to the surface and back to land, it was a bit of a swim to land as the harbor was on top of a rocky surface so I had to take him to the beach since it was near the harbor. Once on the beach, I placed him gently on the sand and I just looked at him. In his state, I believed that he was dead. There was no movement, no nothing. Until I saw him cough.
Elsewhere
Thug#1: " So what do you think should we move in and grab them?"
?: "No."
Thug#1: " No?"
?: " It would be a poor choice to miss out on an opportunity like this. If there is one thing I get from this is that this changes things."
