Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original Biker Mice from Mars characters. Victoria is my OC.

We get to hear Vikky's story about what happened to her on Mars, and yes, we get an unlikely ally. Sorry that it's so short, I'll try to make future ones longer. Helpful critiquing comments always welcome.


Chapter 2: WTF (What The Fred)

They bros were staring wide-eyed at the mutant midget that Vikky had opened her bag to. He was smiling as usual while he looked at all of them laughing.

"Victoria, you better have a good explanation for this," Throttle practically snarled, his fists clenched tight, muscles tense and tail slashing the air furiously. Victoria didn't answer. Her eyes were locked on the mutant.

"Hey Vik, that was fun, can we do it again?" Fred asked in a dumbfounded kid kind of way, utterly unaware of the three mice ready to attack him.

"Later, Fred, but right now. I need my stuff," Victoria said, extending her hand to him. Fred dug into the bag and handed her, her brown bandoleer of flares and explosive throwing stars. It crossed over her chest like Vinnie's; only it was just the one strap. Then the mutant gave her the knuckled glove for her right hand and her laser pistol before finally turning over her primary weapon. A twelve-foot bullwhip that she rolled up and latched to her hip. "Now, for the reason why I brought this thing with me; because he helped me escape," she stated casually. That caught everyone by surprise.

Victoria let out a heavy sigh and sat down on one of the nearby stools. "Tori, what did you mean by escape? Were you Limburger's prisoner?" Modo asked in a tone he only used with her. It was like a mix of his usual kind and easy-going voice, and his severity when someone called him a rat.

"No," she paused as flashes of the painful and twisted experiments that had been done to her over the past eight years flicked across her mind's eye. "I was Karbunkle's pet project," Vikky snarled.

"She was the main subject for most of the doctor's experiments after he tested them on me to be sure that they wouldn't kill her," Fred said, digging into the bag again to pull out a relatively large file. No one seemed to notice it as all eyes where on Vikky when she removed her jacket to reveal several grey scars of different sizes and shades of age.

"I shouldn't have to ask you, Vinnie, if you remember the mission me and my squad was assigned back on Mars." The younger van Wham said lightly, rubbing a scar of her right shoulder. All three of the bros were silent, even Charley, despite her not knowing what they were talking about. She would just ask the guys later. "When we got to the target area, a sniper took out our CO, and then the stink fish were all around us. I was knocked unconscious from an explosion that killed three of my comrades."

"I remember that. The whole thing was a massacre. When we got there, everyone was either dead or at death's door," Throttle started his voice quiet as the memory of the battlefield with the red sands of Mars turned black with fresh blood.

"But we didn't find you. Among all the dead, you were missing," Modo put in after a moment when his bro didn't continue.

"That's because the Plutarkians found me. When I came to, I was in Karbunkle's lab. They knew Vinnie was my brother, and that he was one of the top warriors of the Freedom Fighters."

"So, they were going to try and use you as leverage or interrogate you to try and find us." Vinnie finished for his sister noticing how she was trembling from the memories. She only nodded her head, not trusting her voice to hide the fear she felt.

"Guess it's a good thing that you never told me where HQ was, eh Vinnie," Vikky stated, chuckling slightly, trying to hide the sound of her voice quivering. She sat there for a few moments till her hands stopped shaking. "When interrogation didn't work, Karbunkle decided that he would try the mind-bender beam on me," Vikky continued. "It was still a prototype, so it only worked partially. Like a mind control where you know what your doing but can't control your actions," She said coldly when the fear cleared from her voice as she stood and moved to her bike. Her eyes were distant as the next memory flashed across her mind.

"I saw you guys when they captured you back on Mars. I saw the shape you were in before Karbunkle's modifications." She was trembling, now at the thought of losing her bros. She glanced at Modo, and their eyes met. They had been close on Mars, and when she saw him broken and helpless. When she saw him like that, it awoke something in her that allowed her to regain control of her body.

She had managed to escape that day, but Karbunkle wasn't about to give up on his prized project. They found her hiding in the tunnels of the rats. She still had friends among the nomad rats, but so did Limburger, and even her friends couldn't keep her hidden from the snakes.

"They brought me to Earth after you guys ran them off of Mars. Been here ever since," Tori finished. She turned to face them again while leaning against her bike with her arms crossed over her chest. Everyone was silent while they regarded her. Then, after several tense moments, Modo approached her and pulled her into a tight hug, followed by Throttle then Vinnie. It felt good to be with her family again finally, especially after everything that happened over the years.

"It's good to have you back, sis," The older van Wham said before letting her go.

"Good to be back," Vikky replied. The younger van Wham quickly wiped away any would-be tears, before breaking the tension by punching her brother in the shoulder. "Now, I can regain all the ground I lost when proving I'm the badest mama-JAMA in the galaxy," That got everyone laughing, well except for Vinnie. "But first, Fred. The file, please," she said, and the little mutant handed her the thick file. On the front, it said 'TOP SECRET.'
