Sorry it took so long to update. Been super busy with work and other stuff. But here's the next chapter. And yes, it will have some romantic moments with Vinnie and Charley.
Confronting The Baddies- Chapter Twenty
"Now that that's settled. I'm riding with Throttle." Vivica declared.
"The hell you are!" Carbine shouted.
"Ladies, ladies, break it up!" Throttle intervened, "You can ride one of our military issued Freedom Fighter bikes. Vivica will ride with me for now."
"So it's true. You are leaving me for her."
"That's crazy." Charley told her, "Who told you that?"
"It doesn't matter. I have eyes. I can see what's going on." Carbine replied.
"What is going on is you were very rude to Vivica. You knocked her off the bike. She did nothing to you." Hecuba said.
"You don't know what she did. Who asked you to speak!" Carbine began.
"Begging your pardon, Miss General Ma'am, but I would appreciate if you didn't yell at Miss Hecuba the way you're doing." Modo said, firmly, getting up and standing in front of Hecuba in a protective way, "And she is right. You were being rude."
"And you could've hurt Velo." Vivica said, checking on her son.
Thankfully, the little one was safety harnessed in his baby carrier and was fast asleep.
"Carbine, you're way out of line here." Throttle said.
"I'm out of line? You-"
"Look, we don't have time for all this drama. We have a land grubbing Plutarkian itching to get his fins on Charley's land."
"Fine." Carbine sighed, then whistled.
Within minutes, a light tan motorcycle rode up to the lady general.
"I'm watching you." She warned Vivica, who simply smirked.
She put on a helmet on and got on her motorcycle. Throttle helped Vivica onto the back of his bike. The red haired beauty soon had her slender arms around the tan furred leader's chiseled frame. A faint blush shone in his face as she pressed her body closer to his. Her tiny fingers were intertwined and her head was inches from his back. He fought hard to concentrate especially as her dark eyes were glancing at him. Eyes like shimmering ebony stone. He shook his head.
What is wrong with me? He had to get it together. But it was hard when someone like Vivica was around.
Sure she was pretty. No. Not just pretty. The woman was beautiful and sexy. The kind of woman that could bring out a man's deepest desires. The kind of woman he needed to avoid like the plague. She had already caused him enough trouble.
"Now, Let Rock..."Throttle began, sticking his fist in the air.
"...And Ride!" Everyone said, finishing their famous motto.
The dimensional portal began opening up. A swirling mass of purple and pink lights. It took its visitors to whatever world they wanted to go. Now, our furry heroes were on their way to Earth.
"Hurry, everybody! Before the portal closes!" Throttle told his two friends.
Throttle began riding towards the portal followed by Carbine, Vinnie, and Modo. Within minutes, they all were inside and soon entered Earth's atmosphere. They pressed buttons on their bikes releasing hang gliders. They were gliding in the sky and now flew downward.
The Last Chance Garage now came into view. Lawrence Limburger was still talking with reporters. Greasepit was stationed behind the driver's seat of a large bulldozer. One of Limburger's goon squad sat behind the wheel of a wrecking ball.
"Now, gentlemen and ladies, if there are no further questions. We will begin demolition of this eyesore of a building. Greasepit, begin tearing it down!" Limburger called to the large empty headed ape.
"Right away, Mistah Limboiger. Alright, youse goon, you heard da boss. Knock down that building!" Greasepit called out to the goon operating the wrecking ball.
The goon rode it up to the Last Chance Garage. He had just pulled the wrecking ball back to strike one of the wall of the building when laser blast shot the cable holding the wrecking ball sending it sailing through the air towards Greasepit striking the bulldozer and sending it sailing through the air. It landed on top of Limburger's black limo crushing it like a flattened can. Fred the Mutant, Limburger's driver and alien punching bag, slithered out of the driver's side.
"Oh ha ha! That was fun! Do it again!" He sighed, before slithering away.
"Oh, no..." Limburger groaned, as he saw his limo now flatter than a pancake.
He groaned even more when he heard a familiar laugh.
"Awwooo! We are the baddest mamma jammas in the universe!" Vinnie crowed.
The Biker Mice raced up to the Last Chance. Charley jumped off Vinnie's bike and marched up to the Big Cheese.
"Get off my property, StinkFish!" She shouted.
"M-Miss Davidson?" The mayor faltered.
"Yes, it's me, Mr. Mayor. Lawrence Limburger is in several violations one of which is tearing down the known residence of an occupied building.
"Well, it's official, then. We're not tearing down this building." The mayor said, tearing up the order to tear down the garage.
This was not looking good for the Big Cheese. The High Chairman had threatened to cut off his funding again that same morning if he failed to bring Plutark some land. He had been trying for months to get his hands on Charley's land with no success thanks to the Biker Mice. Plus, the girl mechanic was tougher than nails. She never backed down and refused to sell Limburger the Last Chance.
"Not so fast, Mr. Mayor."
Everyone looked up to see Ondine approach. She was dressed up just like Charley.
"What in the-?" The mayor began.
Gasps went up from the crowd as the newcomer walked up.
"Am I seeing double?" Vinnie began.
"I'm the real Charley Davidson and I approve of this demolition." She said, holding up a quick claim deed, "I sold this land to Mr. Lawrence Limburger a month ago as this document states."
"You didn't abandon the property?" The mayor asked.
"Of course not."
"This paper looks authentic." The mayor began, reading it.
"I smell a setup." Throttle said, using his tail to snatch the paper out of Ondine's hand, then examining it closely, "This is the Big Cheese's handwriting. He had her forge Charley-girl's signature."
Modo grabbed Ondine by the shoulders. Vinnie yanked the long auburn haired wig off Ondine's head.
"She's a fake!" Charley pointed.
"Police, arrest Mr. Limburger and his associates!" The mayor shouted.
Within minutes, Limburger and Greasepit were handcuffed by police.
"Oh, mommy, if only you could see your baby boy now." Greasepit whined
"Oh, shut up, you buffoon." Limburger said.
Ondine broke free and pointed a tiny, red glowing stone at Carbine.
"Are you going to let them do this? Vivica is our enemy. She's turning them against us. Stop them" Ondine told Carbine.
Suddenly, Carbine leaped off her bike and took out her whip. She began swinging it out to attack Throttle and the other mice. The mice stayed out of its path while protecting their lady companions. Throttle ordered Charley and Vivica to get the crowd of reporters as well as the mayor to safety.
"The woman has gone psycho." Vinnie said.
"Miss General ma'am, you have to stop this!" Modo began.
"Carbine, have you lost your mind?!" Throttle asked.
Within seconds, Hecuba blew a white powder at Carbine. It stopped from her from attacking the Biker Mice . They turned to look at a frozen Carbine.
"It's alright. I used a freeze spell on her. But Ondine has my moonstone." Hecuba said, "We have to get it back."
"Your what?" Throttle asked her.
"That tiny red gem she was holding is a family heirloom. It's a powerful crystal that elevates a person's mood. It works on what ever emotion a person is feeling at the time. It makes it stronger. Like anger and jealousy."
"She must've followed me to Mars and stolen it." Hecuba said, "But how did she know about the portal to Mars?"
"Not only that. Is Carbine gonna be okay?" Throttle asked.
"She's not harmed. She's frozen in time for an hour. I have to create a charm that will protect her from the moonstone's magic."
Modo and Hecuba went out to get the ingredients to make the witch's brew to create the charms to protect them. Throttle, Vinnie, and Charley remained at the Last Chance Garage. They knew Limburger wouldn't stay in jail. He'd get out and try again to get the garage from Charley. They also had to worry about Ondine coming back for revenge.
Throttle sat in a wooden chair staring at the lady Martian Mouse general now a frozen statue. Vivica had put Velo down for his nap.
"Carbine, hang in there. We'll find a way to help you." He said.
...
Charley was sitting at the kitchen window sipping a mug of black coffee.
"You ok, sweetheart?"
She looked up to see Vinnie standing in the doorway.
"I hope we can find Ondine. Daniel was her brother. Of course, she's out to get us."
"She won't get us. You know I won't let her or the Big Cheese harm you or my bros." He replied.
"Or the Last Chance." She smiled.
It wasn't the first time, Vinnie protected her and anything that was important to her.
She remembered how he helped her protect the garage from Catscan. A villain with telekinetic powers who could enlarge his size. How they stopped Greasepit from tearing down the garage. They high fived each other. Then they glanced at each other. Shyly at first. Then they blushed. Then they were drawn to each other. Their faces inches from each other. His muzzle brushed against her hair. Then they abruptly pulled away. Charley blushed at the memory of it.
"Sweetheart?"
Charley looked up with a start. The white mouse was standing right next to her. Eyes like deep crimson stared into her jade green eyes. She backed up and was about to trip over a small wooden stool. He caught her. Their eyes met. Then their lips meshed together. It only happened for a minute. Then they broke the kiss.
"I'm okay. Thank you." Charley said, as he helped her up.
"So am I. As long as you're around." He smiled.
