Hello again!

Only one chapter to go! I'm chuckling here maniacally right now, I really do like this chapter. I hope you will too! Please read and review!

Chapter 11

As Stoker drove through the streets, he could see the damage his guys had caused. It seems that the guys have let out some steam. It was easy to find them. The battle was already started.

"You know rookies, I felt like in a Hansel and Gretel when I followed you." Stoker grinned as he informed others that he had arrived.

"Huh?" Vinnie's voice was full of confusion.

"Nevermind..." Stoker chuckled. "So. What's the plan?"

"Charlie is in the tower, so I and Rimfire are going to get her, as soon as we get through these son of bitches, and you guys will keep yourselves entertained at here. And it looks like Limburger have made sure that we all have enough friends to play with." Throttle explained as they tried to do a path for them to the root of the tower.

"It's so kind of him to think of us, so we won't get bored." Vinnie got a devil in his voice. "Don't ya think?"

"Yeah." Stoker said and threw a grenade to a one goon's hands, sending him and several others flying around. "I like your plan. It's simple and it's short. What could go wrong?"

The wolf eyed at the room quietly. She was sure that there was somewhere a weak point so it could escape.

She saw how the mad doctor was doing something around his lab thingys. Some kind of a chip.

And there was that stinking fishface walking impatiently back and forth in front of the lab table.

And someone else she didn't recognize. She was about six feet tall and muscular. Her hair was green and her skin was few shades lighter. She actually was cute, but the look on her face was tough and mean.

She was wearing a well worned skin tight brown leather trousers and jacket. And a dark brown leather shoes. And there was a quiver at her back and she was holding her bow at her hand.

"I want my money, now!" The hunter ordered. "You know what happens if you even think to fool me!"

"Oh my, my dearest associate. Why would I want to make you upset?" Limburger gave her his most syrupy smile. "After all, you are the best in your professional field in this solar system."

"I'm the best even further." She corrected. "But cut the bullshit, give me my money and I'll keep going. I have a next client waiting already."

"Of course, my dear. It was pleasure to do business with you." Limburger bowed to her and tossed a quite large sachet to her.

"I really hope that here is all we agreed." She eyed at Limburger doubtfully. "Or else I'll return and I'm gonna scale you and feed you to my little pets!"

"Krhm." Limburger tried to loosen up his suddenly so tight collar. "You don't have anything to worry. I wish you the best luck to your travels."

The hunter didn't even look at him as she left.

Lex found the others easily, thanks for the damages again, but she didn't go to them. She knew that they would make her go away or tried to keep her out of the fight. Those fucking egoistic macho mices!

She watched as they fought against the goons, there were both men and other creatures which she couldn't give a name.

Vinnie yelling in ecstasy his battle cries and taking down every goon who came to his way. It was actually pretty impressive sight. But I'm not gonna tell him that!

She waited to see what they were planning to do and when she realized it, she made her own.

As she waited, she studied how they all fought together so seamlessly, even if they were so spreaded all over the battlefield. It was obvious that they had fought together many times before. Maybe if my team would have been even a little like that, they could be still alive.

When she saw Throttle and Rimfire to make their move to get in, she quickly followed them, pushing down the pain from her waist and shoulder.

Ducking the shots and debris what flew around, she took down as many goons on her way by shooting her bike's cannons as she drove.

As she speeded her bike, she could hear when the other three had seen her, but it was too late to stop her. She was already in.

"LEX! NO!" Stoker yelled, as he saw her speeding towards the tower, and shot five times and five goons went down and turned his bike and tried to rush after her. "That god damned girl is getting herself killed!"

Stoker speeded and dodged to get to the tower, but there was always something in his way.

"Fuck! No!" Stoker cursed. Three more goons down.

"Lex is tough girl. I think that she's gonna be alright." Modo tried to calm him. "Besides, she's with Throttle and Rimfire."

"Fucking assholes!" Stoker cursed again. "Throttle! Where are you? You have a rabbit behind your tail! Keep her out of danger! I can't get there!"

"You say what?" Came Throttle's voice. "There's only me and Rimfire here from our side!"

"What?! What the hell she thinks she's doing?!" Stoker cursed long and harshly, blew up a two tanks full of goons, and made the other two mice to wonder why he was taking Lex's actions that heavily.

"Boss! We are under attack! Those rodents are right outside!" Came one of the goons to the laboratory, screaming like hell. "I saw all three!"

"Well that was expected." Limburger smiled calmly. "I have a way too bigger preponderance, so the three of them can't win this time. I have made sure of that!"

"But maybe we should retreat to our get away, just to be sure." Karbuncle suggested insecurely.

"No. This time we're going to make sure that nothing is going wrong." Limburger said firmly, but when he heard certain approaching gun shots and motorcycles roars, he added. "Or maybe we should do as you suggested."

But it was too late. Throttle and Rimfire crashed in ambitiously, their cannons and lasers ready to shoot. At this point that poor goon escaped and sweared that he was gonna get a proper life and start to be a good citizen.

"Rimfire!" Throttle shouted. "Battle attack double spin and catch!"

They started to circle around Limburger and Karbuncle. Throttle rised up at Lady's saddle and jumped to the air with a double backflip, activating his nuke's, grabbed from Limburger's collar and gave him a sharp punch to his face and right after that a roundhouse kick to his stomach. Limburger got at nice trip to test how hard that concrete wall was. It was hard.

"Well well. Look, kid, what we found." Throttle said casually, as he watched when that stinking pile of shit smacked to the floor. "Were you going somewhere? The party is not even started yet."

"Umm... I'm sorry... but I have.. some important... business to do... elsewhere and... they are... yelling my... attendance." Limburger smiled politely as he tried to get some air.

Karbuncle was already in Rimfire's custody. Our, not so little, Rimfire had cut his escape by snatching from his collar and was dangling the pathetically wriggling doctor in the air.

"I don't think so. I have bone to pick with you two" Throttle said and Rimfire tossed the doctor to Limburger's neck. "Belive me, you don't wanna play with me right now. I've had a really fucked up couple last days!"

Throttle launched a rope from his bike, which tied Limburger and Karbuncle together to a nice and neat package.

"Lawrence Limburger and Benjamin Boris Zachary Karbuncle, you are arrested for your war crimes against the martian citizens."

When Lex came to the hallway, she noticed how Throttle and Rimfire drove down to the corridor and there were multiple goons after them. Their not gonna make it!

"Hey! How to make a difference between a plutarchian and his goons?" Lex shouted as loud she could, to get their attention. "Can't say from the smell!"

"What is it guys? Are ya too scared of a little woman like me? " She kept mocking. "Better be, because I'm gonna wipe the floors with you!"

She got most of the goons after her. They attacked aggressively against her and she started to draw them as far as possible from the others, to make sure that they had all the time they needed.

Lasers and bullets whistled around her as she raced through the corridors, but then she got to the end of the line. Stairs leading to the top of the water tower.

She had to get off of her bike, but as she did that, there came a rocket which hit to her precious harley.

It blew up, sending her badly to the stairs. She felt excruciating pain in her waist and shoulder and she had hit her head so she felt blood flooding to her face.

She forced herself up, trying to forget the pain, and started to take the goons down. One by one, but there was too many of them and her bullets were too limited. I knew it that I should've got more of them!

Lex tossed a grenade after her when she escape up the stairs as fast as she could and hoped that it would take them down. It didn't.

At the outside the battle was still on.

Modo felt like he had took down hundreds from the enemies and still they kept coming. And he saw that it was the same with the other two.

"This can't be true. I'm sure that I already fought with that one!" Modo cursed as he got a very strong déjà -vu feeling. "Stoker! Aaargh!"

Modo went flying as something made his Lil' Darlin' to stop like to a wall. Modo hit hard to a pile of a debris.

He broke couple of his ribs and got few bruises and nicks, but otherwise he was fine. But I can't say the same about Lil' Hoss.

"NOO!" Modo cried when he saw her. " My bike!"

Lil' Hoss had hit to a stonewall which had came like from nowhere, and crumbled down as fast as it had raised. Luckily Lil' Hoss was still running.

Modo saw red and his eye glowed. He fought his way back to her. She couldn't move. She beeped alarmingly at him. "I'm fine, Lil' Darlin', its you I'm worried about. Can you shoot?"

Lil' Hoss showed her guns and gave him a demonstration.

"That's my girl!" Modo laughed. "Cover me, shall you?"

Lil' Hoss beeped like she tried to say "Do you even have to ask?"

Modo eyed at around him and saw what he was looking for and a wicked grin came to his face. "Gotcha!"

Stoker got little spooked as he saw Modo's bike hit to the stonewall. He immediately shot the one, who had made that wall rise, to his head. I can tell you that it was the weirdest looking guy he had ever seen! And it was alot to say.

Stoker was relived when he saw Modo to rise up and rush back to his bike. And then he was too occupied to keep any attention elsewhere.

"Where the hell is all of these bastards coming?!" He cursed.

The wolf watched when the tan mouseman came carefully in front of her cage. He kept talking to her with a very soothing murmuring voice. He looked somehow very familiar.

"Hey Charlie-girl. I know you are in there, somewhere."

She felt her back fur to buff when he said that name. She didn't like that. It made a painful pressure to rise from her inside. She started to growl at him.

"I know you are upset. I would be too." He kept talking with that hypnotizing voice. "And you are scared. But we're not going to hurt you."

She showed her teeth at him with an very angry growl which said that the hell you are, I'll kill you before you can even try.

"Charlie. I know you are there. Fight it. Please."

The pressure came stronger, but she forced it back. She tried to brake the cage again to rip that arrogant mouse to pieces!

The tan mouse came even closer and pressed his hand against the cage's glass. And by an instinct she tried to bite it. But something happened.

When she touched the place where his hand rested, there came a flood full of emotions from him.

Please Charlene. We need you back. Don't forget who you really are.

Now he was talking inside of her head. He showed a lot of clips from a laughing group. More mouses like him, but in different colors. Annoying white one, calm and tender grey one, wise and loyal brown one. And a young one with a striped hair. And a woman named Lex.

Please honey. Come back. I love you. I can't live without you.

Then he showed clips of him and a auburn headed girl. And then him and red headed mousegirl. Who was the same girl with the auburn head, but in different form. Weird.

In every clip, she saw that they were deeply in love. No matter if they were cuddling or fighting, but the love was always there.

And then she felt something to brake inside of her. The thing she had feared most, got out from it's prison.

Her heart started to warm again and her own feeling's were at their own place.

I am Charlie.

Rimfire was astonished by the sight in front of him. When he had seen Throttle to get close to that cage, he had been a little concerned that was it so good idea.

But when he saw the effect Throttle made to the wolf, he was impressed.

As Throttle kept murmuring to Charlie, Rimfire kept an eye at the surrounding for the possible unwanted surprises.

"Hey young man! If you free me, I will reward you munificently!" Limburger tried to sweet-talk himself out of his situation. "I am a powerful person and I can give you what ever you want!"

"Oh shut up you bastard!" Rimfire snapped, he was so fed up to Limburger's voice by his constant asslicking. "Are ya seriously thinking that I could let you go after what you did to our planet? To my friends and family? To my sister? You are the reason that I haven't seen her for years after she was took by your fucking fellow fish-heads!"

"Umm... Yes?" Limburger smiled confusedly by Rimfire's words. He couldn't understand something like love for them who are close to you.

Something snapped in Rimfire's head and faster than a thought he had thrown his fist hard against Limburger's bruised jaw.

"Save your breath. Your gonna go to the mars and you will be punished." Rimfire said and shoved his sock to Limburger's mouth.

And after that he heard a huge crash and chattering from behind him.

"OWOWOWOWW!" Vinnie yelled as he fought his own battles outside the water tower. "WHAT A RUSH!"

He raced around the yard killing all the bad guys who got to his way.

"Oh where are you going, sweetheart?" He grinned as he saw how one of the goons was trying to get to one of the excavators. "Na-ah! Shall I get this dance? I'm gonna swirl you to the stars! HAHAHAHAAA!"

And the poor goon didn't have a chance to escape when Vinnie grabbed from his collar and swirled him around with his bike and threw him to the sky.

"I haven't had this fun for ages! Who's next?" Vinnie started to search for his next victim but when he took an aim at him, he disappeared. "Hey! Not fair!"

"Sorry Vinnie!" Modo grinned after he had eliminated the humanoid Cyclops dude, who apparently was responsible for all of the clones. Modo had just got rid of from half of the goons around them by a one good aim.

"That's cheating!" Vinnie whined.

"Oh shut up, you big baby." Modo laughed. "There is still much to fight with."

It was too much for her. She couldn't make it. There was still few goons after her and she was almost out of ammo. And because of the blood she had lost, she was weak.

The unavoidable happened at the top of the stair's. She was caught by the last three goons.

She still tried to fight them back but by every move her limbs went heavier.

"Haha! Look at this guys!" One of the goons, the one with a thick gold chains around his neck, laughed. "can't kitty cat run anymore? Are you finally done with your running?"

"Maybe we should show you how to entertain true men!" Second one continued, his breath smelled almost as bad as plutarchians. "Maybe then you learn to keep out of men's way!"

He lifted her from her throat against the wall and grabbed from her breast with other. "You like this, bitch?"

Lex tried to hit and scratch him, but he just squeezed little harder.

"Feisty, that you are." Stinky said and licked from between her breasts. "But well teach you."

He shoved her to the last one, he looked like he had escaped from a local looney hospital. The wacko grabbed from her hair and dangled her from them.

"You clearly haven't got a man for a while, and now you have three. Lucky you." Wacko whispered to her ear.

"Oh go to hell!" She shouted and bit him to his ear. Afterwards she regretted it, he clearly hadn't washed them for a long time.

"OWWW!" Wacko yelled and teared her off of him.

"Yeww!" Lex gagged a piece of Wacko's ear of he mouth.

"You fucking bitch!" He yelled and threw her trough the door to the water tower's roof.

Everything what happened next was like in a slow-motion.

Limburger's goons were hanging the weak and barely conscious Lex from her ankles at the edge of the water tower. She knew that she was going to fall, so she tried to take the goons with her. She tried to raise her shotgun, but she was too weak and she dropped it and few seconds later she followed it, as the goons were laughing at her.

By her last powers she took a grenade from her waist band and took the ring off it before she tossed it to the hands of the goons.

At the feet of the water tower, Modo was fighting about twenty feet away from the tower. He aimed and shot repeatedly as he tried to keep the goons away. Lil Hoss, which was in very bad shape, was beeping alarmingly next to him.

Hundred and ten feet

"What is it lil' darlin'?" Modo eyed at her and at that moment he heard a huge boom from the tower and saw Lex falling. "Oh mama! STOKER!"

Stoker looked at him and followed Modo's sight to the tower. "LEX!"

Stoker gunned his bike to a movement and his eyes were glued to the falling girl. He dodged and shot with his lasers as his bike was taking her part from the assholes who came to their way.

Ninety feet

Something big bull like creature came between him and Lex. And that big was aiming at him with a biggest cannon he had ever seen!

Eighty feet

Stoker shot at it with his bike's rockets but it didn't even leave a mark.

Sixty feet

Someone came next to him. "GO! I'll handle this! GO!"

Vinnie started to swirl around at the bull faster and faster so it seemed that there was many of him. Oooh boy! What a thought!

Fifty feet

I'm going to die. And I never got to tell him that I love him.

Lex closed her eyes and the tears fled to the air as she twined her arms around herself.

Twenty feet

Stoker was almost there. He gunned his bike even harder and used a trailer as a ramp and made his bike to jump.

Fifteen feet

The shotgun hitted to the ground and broke to the asphalt.

Ten feet

Stoker was next to her and reached his arms to grap her, but he was too far.

Lex was gonna hit the ground.
