Where The Road Lead Us.
Chapter 7: The Pits.
Six bikers stopped at the bank as Charley went off of Verana's bike. "Thanks for bring me, guys. The Last Chance Garage maybe doesn't bring much but I don't wanne loss it" Charley said. "That's us biker bodyguards" Throttle said. "At your serves, ma'am" Modo said. "Hey, you help us, we help you" Jarka said. "Jarka's right" Mirda said. "Yeah" Verana said. "Yeah and let me tell you..." Vinnie said as he looked at Verana's body up and down. "I hope you not about to say my body you love to guard, Love" Verana said looking at Vinnie. "Because if you do something wrong, brother. I tie up your tail if you do something she doesn't like" Jarka said as the rest laughed. "It be just a few minutes" Charley said walking in the bank. "I swear something you can read my thoughts, Sweetheart and only Jarka know my mind better then anyone" Vinnie said. "Maybe it is because we have been dating awhile, Love" Verana said and winked at Vinnie. "And we got news for ya, bro" Throttle said. "It is not that hard to know" Jarka said but looked in frond of them as they heard cars coming fast. "Wow, they are late" Throttle said. "Or it's almost time to..." Modo said. "Party" Vinnie said as they put there battle mode on.
Inside the bank.
"Huh, I would like to put my hole life saving here, please" Greasepit said as he let his money fall an the ground and started picking it up. "Great, this things always happen when I go to the bank" Charley said. Suddenly, a explosion made everyone fall on the ground. Four men were standing in the hole that was made by the explosion. Four, heavily armed men. "This is a robbery! Everyone on the floor!" one of them yellen and he fired his gun. "Not, my live saving, I beg you" Greasepit said. The window from the bank shatterd and six bikes flew inside and the mice jumped off. Throttle punched one goon right in the face, knocking the criminal out immediately. Vinnie and Verana's whirled there tails around another one and threw him away like the guy was nothing. Modo and Mirda punched the third one knock out. Jarka stood in frond of the last one as the others came to her side. "Well, let's make this short and sweet, guys" Jarka said. "Hold it right there, I got a hostage here" said the last one. "Charley?" they said. "Why you guys always think it's me" Charley said as she stood behind them. "You guys better surrender or I gonna fry me some pig for breakfast" the last one said. "Please!" Greasepit cried. Vinnie turned around but Jarka stopped him. "*Sigh* As must as it hurts, we got no choise, brother" Jarka said. "Man, don't you hate being the good guy sometimes" Vinnie said. "Now, raise your hands" the guy said. "Let's lift them" Modo said as the six lifted there hands up. "Now, let's get cooking" the guy said as he aimed his flamethrower and a huge flame came straight towards them. They jumped out of the way. Vinnie landed on his belly and lifted his tail. The tip was on fire and he quickly blew it out. "Waaaoooww, toasty!" Vinnie said. "Yeah, warm but not burned. Modo, lights out!" Throttle said. Modo raised his arm cannon and shot at the chandelier that was hanging on the ceiling. The chain broke and the whole thing landed on all four robbers, since the first three were already back on their feet. One of them was carrying a bazooka and because of the inpact from the chandelier, it flew out of his hands. "Come to mama" Charley said as she catched the bazooka and pointed at the robbers. "Let's blow this joint" one said as they all ran to the cars. The mice jumped on their bikes. "Hey, hey, hey! The game's not over till the fat lady sings, sport fans!" Vinnie cheered, revving his bike. "Yeah, we're going to overtime" Modo smiled. "Yes" Verana and Mirda cheered as Charley sat behind Verana. "Big time?" Jarka asked Throttle. "Big time. Let's ride" Throttle nobbed as they drove outside. On the streets, they saw the criminals had split up. "Vincent, you, Verana and Charley take that one. The rest, you all coming with me" Throttle ordered and they also split up.
With Vinnie, Verana and Charley.
The three where chasing after the green car full speed. When they jumped in the air and performed a perfect somersault, Vinnie cheered happily. "AAAOOOOWWW, am I the baddest mamma jammer or what?" Vinnie cheered. "You are, Love... Hold thight" Verana said. "I be just fine" Charley said as Verana went faster making Charley fall off the bike but was catched by Verana's tail and back on the bike. "Told ya, doll" Verana said as Charley fire the bazooka and hit the car. "Charley-girl, tell me when ya gonna butt in like that" Verana said. "Sorry but you two would shut up" Charley said as she went off of Verana's bike and walked to the criminals. "You gotta learn some patience" Vinnie said as he now was next to Verana sitting on his bike. "Don't move" Charley said as she pointed the bazooka at them.
With the others.
The others were having a hard time to grab the other two robbers. One was driving, he did have good driving skills, while the other one was firing with a bazooka at them. The four swirled between the rockets. When a rocket landed before them, they jumped over it. "Wauw. I think these guys have the answer at rush hour traffic, huh?" Throttle said. "Yeah? Well, my bike wants to ask a few more questions" Modo said and he pushed a button on his bike. Cannons came out and he fired a laser. It did hit the car but it didn't make it stop. The car flew around a corner and the mice followed them. "Man, we've gotta take this clowns down before they get to the pit..." Jarka sighed. Modo and Mirda looked confused at Jarka. "What pits ya talking about?" Mirda asked. "Those deep craters outside town, remember? Limburger dug them before we came to Earth. Charley told me and Throttle they were full with criminals now" Jarka said. "You think these guys came from there?" Modo asked. The guy in the car fired a laser and the four mice jumped in the air to avoid it. "Do they look like boy scouts to you, genius?" Throttle chuckled while they landed. "Let's nail them!" Jarka said. They gained speed and all four shot a rope out of the front of their bikes. The hooks grabbed the car, but still, the car didn't stop. It zigzagged through the streets, trying to get rid of the mice. But the mice didn't gave up that easily. They trying to control their bikes, but it was not easy, since thay were dragged forward by the car. Suddenly, a street light came into view, right in Jarka's path but she didn't see it because she was trying to get her bike in control only Throttle saw it. Throttle quickly grabbed his gun and shot it that grabbed Jarka's attention, so Jarka could jump over the remains. "Thanks, nice shot" Jarka said. "No problem" Throttle winked at her making her blush. "We got them!" Modo cheered. But when Throttle and Jarka looked futher ahaed, they sighed. "Oh boy..." Jarka said. "Afraid you got that wrong, bro... They got us!" Throttle said. The car crashed through the signs with 'Dead End' and drove over the edge of a huge crater. The car fell dawn, followed by the mice, who were still atteched to it with their ropes. Two robbers jumped out of the car and opened a parachute, waving at the mice who gor dragged down into the deep crater. "Well, they may not be boy scouts but they sure were prepared!" Modo yelled as he and Mirda looked at Jarka and Throttle for instructions. "Cut loose from this junkkeep, when it hits, we don't wanne go along with it!" Throttle yelled and the pushed a button on their dashboard. The ropes flew back into their bikes. "So what's the plan?" Mirda asked. "We gotta turn this freefall into a long, controlled jump. On my signal, we fire our jets" Throttle ordered. "Think it will work?" Modo asked , a little worry in his voice. Jarka smiled. "You want a honest answer?" Jarka asked as she looked at Modo. "Eeeehhhhmmm..." Modo said thoughful. "Take your time..." Jarka said as she rested her head in her hands. "NO!" Modo yelled. "Good, let's do it!" Throttle yelled and they fired their jets. Right in time, because the ground was finally in sight. The jest made sure they didn't crash full speed, but they did crash, knocking them out immediately.
With Vinnie, Verana and Charley.
It was slowly getting dark outside. "They must went this way" Charley said. "Yeah, when our friends leave a trail..." Vinnie said. "They leave a trail" Verana finished as they stopped and walked at the egde of the crater. "They must have gone into the pit... That's why they never came back" Charley said. Vinnie and Verana kneeled down and looked into the dark crater. "Aaoooww, now that's a radical leap!" Vinnie said, somehow impressed. "They could've been killed!" Charley said. "Well, if they weren't, they just broke your high jump record, Love" Verana said as they rose on their feet again. "Yeah..." Vinnie said. "Vinnie, Verana, you don't understand! The pits have been taking over by some of the worst criminals on Earth! If the others are down there, they must be finghting for their liver! They could be beaten up, shot at, blown up..." Charley said but she stopped as she saw the face of the two. "Cool!" they both said. "We have to do something!" Charley yelled at the. Finally, Vinnie and Verana grew serious again. "We are. We're sending... Us down there!" Vinnie said. "Vinnie! Be serious!" Charley yelled. "Hey, Charley-girl. If my bro's are getting beaten up, or shot at, or blown up etcetra... Than Vinnie is gonna be there" Vinnie said. "The same goes for me, Charley. I can not abandon them or the girls either" Verana said. "Besides my sister is down there too, Charley and let me tell you this. If they hurt my sister, they will see what a true angry brother I can be" Vinnie said with anger in his voice. "True, Vinnie and Jarka's bond is stronger than someone will think" Verana said. "Wauw, guys... That's very noble..." Charley said. "Noble schmoble. Well, for Jarka and Mirda, yes but you think I was gonna let Throttle and Modo having all the fun for themselves? Right. Man, I can't wait to get down there!" Vinnie said. "You eh... You're a real piece of work, Vinnie" Charley said as Verana laughed. "Hey lady, what took you so long to notice. Verana know it" Vinnie said. "So true" Verana said.
Down the pits.
The four mice woke up with a start because of water that was thrown in their faces. They tried to get up but noticed they were tied up. "Ugh" Throttle sighed. "Man, my head's feeling like Van Halen used it as a drum set" Modo moaned. "I feel like I been hit by a truck, damn" Jarka said. "Same here, girl. Same here" Mirda said. Suddenly, a shadow fell over their faces. They looked up and saw a huge man standing at their feet. He was big, fat, blond and had a evil look on his face. Jarka lowered her gaze and saw that the guy held a long, electric whip in his hand. Jarka's eyes wide as a flash of memories came to her and she trembled of fear. The other three noticed that but only Mirda know why. "Take a deep breath, Jarka" Throttle whispered to her in worry as Jarka did what was asked and calmed down. "Sooo... It can talk too..." the guy said with a raw voice. The four shared a quick look. "Seven foot tall talking mice on motorcycles... Man, they let anybody into the pits" the guys said. Throttle and Jarka realised this was the boss who ran things down here in the pits. Throttle got himself upright, despite the ropes, but the Pitboss kicked him right in the face and he went down again with a moan. The three others narrowed their eyes. "Hey! that's not fair, he is tied up!" Modo yelled. The Pitboss bend over and looked Modo in the eye. "Well, fair ain't how we do business in the pits, boys and girls. And you better get used to that. Real fast..." the Pitboss said. Throttle moved his mouth and snout. Throttle looked up again. "What you want from us, Pitbreath?" Throttle growled. The Pitboss started to laugh, but it didn't sound that joyful. "Pitbreath, Hahaha!" but he grew serious again. "It's simple, pancake ears. I hear your bikes are pretty hot. Just what my Pit Crew needs. But the bikes seems to have problem caaperate. So here's the deal. You get those bikes to work for me and maybe... Just maybe... I'll let you go..." the Pitboss said. Jarka shook her head. "No deal. No one rides our bikes but us" Jarka said. "Especially not some ugly face pitbreath like you" Modo added. The Pitboss grabbed Modo by the ropes and lifted him up. The three others eyes widened. "Ohhh, big talk, fuzz face. But a bigger mistake..." and the Pitboos held up his whip. "You just bought slave labour... For life... But don't worry, that won't be long... Wuawahaha!" the pitboss said and he raised his whip. Modo braced himself and when the whip landed on him, he clenched his jaws not to scream. Modo was not gonna give him that satisfaction. Suddenly, it was over. "Bring the to their cell, guys! NOW!" the Pitboss ordered and he walked away. The three looked over at Modo. "You okay, Hon?" Mirda whispered, so soft that the crew couldn't hear her. Modo nobbed and gasped. "Yeah... Little shaken... Let's hope Vinnie and Verana are having more luck them us..." Modo said. Throttle smiled. "Well, given the fact that they ain't with us, I think they have. They will come for us. We just need to wait" Throttle said. Modo nobbed. "Yeah... Let's hope it doesn't take them that long..." Modo said. "It's Vincent and Verana we're talking about, Modo. They will be here very soon. And we need to make sure to be prepared when they are here" Jarka said.
With Vinnie, Verana and Charley.
A crane truck stopped at the edge of the pits. Charley jumped out the truck. Charley prepared the two trucks to bring Vinnie and Verana down. Charley felt a hand on her shoulder. She screamed and turned around. "So, what do ya say, Charley-girl. We look cool or what?" Vinnie asked. "You scare me like that again and I stuf that head in your ears" Charley said. "Can't be done lady, soil shell under neat. A biker helmet in desguise" Verana stood next to Vinnie. Charley attached there bikes at the cables of the two trucks. Charley let the two bikes so that they where hanging over the adge. "Listen, Charley-girl. I will give you a signal through the radio when we are down. Let the cables hanging ther along with the other four. When we got the others, I will contact you through the radio again and you only need to push the button," Vinnie pointed at a red button, "To lift us up. You understand?" Vinnie said. Charley nobbed. Vinnie and Verana jumped on there bikes and Charley let them down the pits.
Down in the pits.
The four mice where mining with some others. "Man, normally I dig hard but this is..." Modo said but got almost hit with a whip. "Shut up, not talking. Just dig. I want my castle complete befor the rainy season starts, MOVE" the Pisboss said. "Too hard, can go on" a man next to them said and he fell to the ground. "Hey, you alright citizens" Jarka asked him. "He looks tired" Mirda said. "Get back up" the Pitboss said as the men got a shock from the whip. Jarka went behind Throttle when she saw the whip and so did Mirda behind Modo. "Get up and work" the Pitboss said as he landed on the ground in frond of them. "You, get back to work, you sewer rats" the Pitboss said. Modo and Mirda's eyes glowing red. "Rat, now you talking trash" Modo said as he attacked. The Pitboss was laching his whip but Modo caught it. Modo pulled on the whip sending the Pitboss to Throttle who punched him in the face that he landed on is back making the girls laugh. "Okay, enough work. Modo, girls, I think it's time for a break" Throttle said. "Not to mention a bach" Modo said. "Hhhhuuuu, boys" Jarka said as she and Mirda moved closer to them as the boys looked around them. Men where pointed guns at them. "Looks like you got some labor problem, Pitboss. Like me to fire them" a men said as Pitboss stood back up. "No, I got more entertaining plans for these four" the Pitboss said.
With Vinnie and Verana.
In a bar people where fighting or playing games that later turned in to fights. "Two rootbeer" Vinnie said. A guy walked to Vinnie and Verana. "Aaahhh, a rootbeer drinking guy, huh? Hey, you sure you wouldn't rather have a pink lemonade?" the guy rumbled behind them. "Are you taking to me and my girl?" Vinnie asked. "Well, let's see... I don't see anybody else around here, so yeah to you two" the guy said. Vinnie and Verana grabbed their drinks and looked at the guy in the mirror. "Well, I wish you wouldn't. Your breath is awful, pal" Vinnie said making Verana chuckled. The guy wasn't amused, though. He grabbed Vinnie and Verana in the necks but pulled down the hoodies in the process. "Hey! It's another two of that big mice!" the guy yelled in surprise. "Ah. So, you have seen our four friends then?" Verana said. But the guy continued threatening them, provoking them. Verana slowly got on her feet and clenched her fist followed by Vinnie who was looking at Verana what she was going to do but what happened next he didn't expect. In one movement, Verana turned around and punched the guy right in the face. The guy flew through the bar and ended on a table, which crashed under his weight. Verana walked over to him, her teeth gritted. She grabbed the guy by the shirt and slammed him against the wall. Vinnie was looking at her with hearts in his eyes. 'Damn, what a woman' Vinnie though. "I asked you a simple question. Where are our friends? You seen them? Where are they?" Verana growled and her snout almost touched the nose of the guy. Another guy came running over to help his friends, but Verana saw him coming. Vinnie wanne to help her but Verana whirled her tail around him and punched him away with the back of her hand. Verana brought her attention back to the big guy. "Well, our friends you seen them?" Verana growled. "T-t-t-the Pitboss... H-h-h-h-he's got them... B-b-b-b-but they are giving him lot of trouble and they..." the guy stuttered. Vinnie shook his head in disappoinetment. "Ah, heck. I knew they were having fun without me..." Vinnie said. Verana narrowed her eyes at the big guy. "Are they alright?" she growled. "T-t-t-t-they been sentenced to die... In the a-a-a-arena..." the guy stuttered. Verana let him go. "Ah man, I miss out on everything. Well, it's been fun guys but we gotta go!" Vinnie said as he and Verana took there helmets and walked out the bar to there bikes. "You know, Sweetheart. That was hot and I mean really hot" Vinnie said as sat on his bike and looked at Verana as she did the same."Yeah, yeah" Verana said blushing. "Hang thigh, guys? It's time to wale... 'cause Vinnie and Verana are comming to whip some tail!" Vinnie said as he and Verana sped away with dangerous speed. When they flew around a corner, men popped up behind rocks and opened fire on them. But Vinnie and Verana where well prepared. Time to unleash themself, for once. No city to protect, no innocent people in the way, no Throttle and Jarka who told them to be restraint... A big grin almost split their faces in half. "Coming through! AHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!" Vinnie laughed as they pushed a few buttons and guns came out of their bikes. They fired at the criminals, without slowing down. They fired each one heavly rockets and the exploded with such a loud explosion, eventhey where impressed.
With the others.
The four mice where sitting in a cage. The cage was standing in the middle old some kind of arena, with tribunes filled with people. The Pitboss was sitting on a huge chair made of stone. "I'm stuck here in Pitboss prison, and time keeps dragging oooooon" Modo sang but then coughed. "I don't know what is worst this place or his singing" Jarka said. "That's easy, it's his singing, Jarka-girl" Throttle said. "Hon, stop sing. Ya gonna hurt your throat like that" Mirda said. Jarka looked around them. They were surrounded by three robots, waiting for orders. She wasn't worried about the robots. But they needed Vinnie and Verana to help them get outta here. She just hoped they bought him enough time. Then her gaze fell on the Pitboss, who was looking slightly concerned. 'Why would he...?' Jarka though but the she heard a loud explosion and in the distance, Vinnie and Verana's characteristics battle cries. A smile appeared on her face. Their friends where on their way. Biker mice style. And great timing as always.
With Vinnie and Verana.
"AAAAOOOOWWWW! You are messing with Vinnie van Wham and his girl, the baddest mamma jammers this side of the astariod belt!" Vinnie yelled as he shooting with his small laser pistol in his left hand and the biggest one he owned in his right hand as Verana was doing the same. Their bikes were still driving full speed and they pressed there knees against the sides so they wouldn't fall off. Their bikers where also firing. The Pit Crew tried to stop them but they weren't up against sch heavy firepower. Rockets exsploded next to them and they tried to hold the two white furred mouses, but it was no use. Their almost hysterical laughing gave them goosebumps and they kept on firing, over and over again. They decided to drop their weapons and ran away, screaming in fear. "Hmmm... Now, let see where our friends bikes could be..." Verana said as she turned on the scanner on her bike. Four mice shaped heads flickered on the screen. "BINGO! Love ya sweety, now start cooking!" Verana said as she took the lead with Vinnie following her to the bikes of there friends.
Back with the others.
The four mice where standing in frond of the Pitboss. Their hands still tied in chains. Loud explosions were heard and it sounded like they where coming closer. "Hmmm... Something happening out there?" Jarka asked casually know what is was the others a little confused. The pitboss still looked a little concerned but shook his head. "Nothing that concerns you. But this does..." and he raised his whip. When it touched one of the robots, they all came to life. "No one fights the power of the pitboss" he said. "They are here, get ready" Jarka whisperd to them. One of the robots drove towards Throttle, with dangerous looking weapons instead of hands. But Throttle with the help of Jarka were ready. They grabbed the chain around their hands and whirled it in the air. They threw it and the chains wrapped around the robots arm. The two tan furred mouses yanked and the robot fell forward on the floor and because of the force it immediately exploded. "You know, it's funny..." Throttle said. "You sound a lot like a overripe cheese ball we know..." Modo said. Throttle slammed with the robot arm on the chains that was holding the others down and they broke immediately. "He is always saying stuff like that too..." Mirda smiled as she and Modo raising their arm cannons to shoot the other two robots. They exploded into pieces. "Yeah, but things never work out his way either..." Jarka said smiling while Modo shot Throttle's chains. The wall from arena exploded and two mice flew inside, along with their bikes. "Because we are the Biker Mice From Mars!" Vinnie and Verana cheered stopping next to them. The four laughed and high fived Vinnie and Verana, before monted their bikes. "Destroy them" the Pitboss yelled. One guy next to him raised his gun, but Vinnie shot it out of his hands. "Not happening" Vinnie said. But paper fell down and everyone looked at it. "You'll never make it, Biker Mice... Evey criminal in the pits will be gunning for you..." the Pitboss said. The four closed the visors and revved their bikes. "Well, when the going gets tough..." Modo said. "The tough whip tail!" Vinnie cheered. "Battle mode, guys!" Jarka ordered. "Let's rock..." Throttle said. "And ride!" The others said. They fired their jest and drove up using the tribune. When Vinnie flew next to the Pitboss, he kicked him right in the face, macking the big guys falling down. "Get them... GET THEM!" the Pitboss yelled. The mice jumped off the stadium. "Let's give the Pitboss his new digs a little housewarming" Jarka ordered. "AAAOOOWWW, it this the ultimate biker bonding or what?" Vinnie said. "I wanne call it more family bonding, it's beter we are a like a family to each other" Mirda said. "Yeah" everyone yelled. When they drove around the corner, the Pit Crew was standing there, opened fire. The mice did the same. The criminals didn't had a chance. They fired each one rocket at Pitboss's castle and it exploded. "Be ever so humble, there's no place like hooome!"the mice sing in unison. When they where at the cables, they quickly atteched them at their bikes. "Yo, Charley-girl. We're back! Puch the button!" Vinnie said through the radio. Not long after that they rose into the air. When they were back on the grouns, Charley ran towards them. "Welcome back, guys" Charley said.
