Through The Fire And Flames
* I know I'm putting these up really close to one another but it's almost done and I will feel much better when it's complete.
*I'm also kind of an ass to them in this chapter (especially Harley, don't get me wrong I loved her in the series but it's just the way things are and I think I did a pretty good job giving her a realistic persona) but this is just a forewarning to those who like the happy endings, I never ever end things the easy way. It just doesn't work like that in my world
*I own nothing, just my few little guys and I don't like the 2006 series so it's total 1993ish in this thing.
Chapter 7: Heroes Of Our Time
"Have you seen Rimfire lately Charley?" Modo asked as he passed his girl, who was on her way back from learning the basics of flying a shuttle.
"He was talking with Stoker a few rooms back." Charley replied as she gave him one of her infamous smiles. "What's wrong big guy?" The mechanic asked as she gave him a slightly worried look.
"He just seems down that's all. It's not like him to just shatter something out of anger." Modo explained as he gave Charley a quick kiss before walking a few rooms down only to hear Stoker talking to Rimfore. He just stopped and listened to them for a bit.
"You're just like a brother to her kid. Face it, that's all it's going to ever be."Stoker told Rimfire who just looked at him like he wasn't having it.
"Then why did she spend all that time with me training and riding Nightstorm?" Rimfire countered as Stoker just sighed.
"She saw potential in you that we overlooked. Lina is almost five years older than you. Trust me, you'll find someone." The older mouse said as he gave the younger one a pat on the back before leaving the room.
Modo decided to take this time to walk into the room and talk to Rimfire. "You have a thing for her don't you?" Modo asked as he put a hand on h is nephew's shoulder earning a shocked look from him.
"Is is really that obvious?" Rimfire asked as Modo just nodded in agreement.|
"Rimfire, you have grown up alot since I last saw you." Modo told him as he realized that his nephew was no longer an annoying child but practically a man. Their little heart to heart was interrupted by Carbine walking into the room.
"Modo, Rimfire, it's time to leave." Carbine said as she looked at them. "Rimfire, you're going with Lina and Modo you and Throttle have to decide which one of you is going to leave your bike on the ship." The dark haired woman said as she focused on Modo for a minute before walking away.
"Who are you riding with?" Rimfire asked as he looked at her retreating form.
"Vinnie, but I'm the one driving Sweetheart. Carbine replied without missing a beat as Modo and Rimfire followed her to the ship where the others were waiting.
"You guys ready to do this?" Stoker asked as he looked at the others eliciting a nod from each of them, a glare from Rimfire and a slight smile from Harley. "Are you ready to fly this baby Charley?" The older mouse gave the mechanic a curious look.
"As ready as I'll ever be. Let's do this so I can head home to a bubble bath. Charley replied as Carbine and Lina smiled at her.
"Lina, Carbine, I would like a word with you real quick. Everyone else, get to your places, Charley girl, go do your thing." Stoker told them as he pulled Carbine and Lina to the side. "tell her Carbine." His voice was somber as he looked at the two women.
"That's not our Harley, Lina. Vinnie heard her say after Stoker left, 'almost a year in a Plutarkian prison is enough to make anyone desperate for freedom." Carbine told Lina who got a hurt look on her face as the ship took off.
"Her eyes are green Lina. From what you told me, it's not possible." Although he meant nothing by it, his comment made the blonde haired woman rather angry.
"It's not possible!" Lina yelled earning a shocked look from the others. "Women are not carriers of the green eyed trait." Her demeanor was obviously irritated as she walked away to the separate room where their bikes were. she just sat of Nightstorm and tried to clear her mind before anything happened.
"That went over well." Carbine replied as she watched Lina.
"Give her a minute. Once something happens she'll change her attitude." Stoker said as he turned and walked over to where the others were.
"Hey guys we have company."Modo said as another ship came into view.
In a flash Lina was back to normal standing between Throttle and Harley. "Bring up a vid-link Modo."Carbine demanded as her general side kicked in as Vinnie reached down and took her hand without so much a flinch.
Much to everyone's suprise an image of Limburger appeared on the screen. "Ah my dear rodents, you have fallen into my trap perfectly." Limburger said as he gave them a devious smile.
"What do you mean fish face?" Vinnie yelled eliciting a chuckle from Limburger.
"Your little Harley was the perfect pawn. With a little bit of convincing and mind control she gave the scientists the plans knowing that one of you would figure out the flaw and bring everyone else along." The Plutarkian explained with a smile as everyone turned to Harley. "Allow me to save you some trouble and destroy the satellite myself." Limburger told them as he pressed a button causing the satellite to explode. "It's all you now Harley, just think 'freedom."
Vinnie ironically was the first one to act as he grabbed Harley by the collar and forced her to look at him. "How could you? You sold your soul to them, to betray us!" Vinnie yelled as Stoker held an actual gun to the back of her head.
"They promised me freedom and they also swore you guys wouldn't get involved. Since I'm going to hell anyway, I might as well finish it all." Harley said as she gave them a sad look and dropped a smoke grenade from her sleeve as Stoker put a bullet in her head without so much a flinch before passing out. Throttle pulled Lina close unsure of what was about to happen next as they both succumbed to the effects of the gas. Charley and Modo were out cold almost immediately after them. Rimfire glanced at Lina and Throttle, slightly jealous as he took one last look outside and let the gas take over his body. Carbine looked at Vinnie with tears in her eyes as she fell into his arms unconscious. Vinnie was just in shock from what just happened, he looked down at Carbine before deciding to not fight the effects of sleep.
Outside the ship Limburger laughed as he pulled the ship bask to his base on Mars

*YOU have no idea how excited I am to be getting to the end of this puppy. Just one chapter left to go and for obvious reasons I will be changing the rating of this story for the next chapter because of death(s), and sheer madness.
*None of the chapter titles are mine they are songs by Dragonforce because on youtube someone did a My Spirit Will Go On song to Biker Mice From Mars and it subsequently inspired me to do this. Look it up its good.
*I'm not a nice person in the next chapter and I wasn't in this one but hey I specialize in the macabe of life and a great portion of the next chapter was a dream I had (a depressing dream) but still one none the less.
Until next time....Read and Review!
