Escape To Mars-Chapter 9
"Gee, they sure grow 'em big around here!" Vinnie joked, weakly.
"Oh, mama!" Modo groaned, as the humungous, scaly ape came towards them.
He was even bigger than Modo! The tall, gray giant was a dwarf compared to him.
"Any ideas?"
Vinnie and Modo glanced at Throttle. This was battle was going to be their toughest. They needed his leadership now more than ever.
"Frontal Attack Seventeen." The tan-furred mouse replied.
All three mice dived at the huge figure. Modo was behind him with his arms around his neck in a head lock, Vinnie had him by the waist, and Throttle had one of his legs.
He let out a roar. All at once he threw them off. They went sailing into the steel wall of the High Chairman's palace. They laid on the floor for a minute before they stiffly got up.
"Borg, kill!" He roared, grabbing Vinnie by the throat. He then began trying to suffocate him. The white mouse face was turning blue.
"Vinnie!" Modo cried out, then his single eye glowed red, "That ticks me off!"
"Nobody messes with our bro!" Throttle exclaimed.
He ran up activating his Nuke Knuckles and socking Borg in the groin. The giant doubled over in pain and releasing his hold on Vinnie. The latter was leaning his head down and coughing. Modo was helping him up.
"You okay, bro?" Modo asked.
"I'll live.'" He replied.
Throttle put his forefinger and middle finger into his mouth and whistled. Their bikes came crashing through.
" Round Up Twenty-Eight! Now!" Throttle told them, as he put on his helmet and got on his bike. Modo and Vinnie did the same. The mice rode towards Borg.
"Vinnie! Modo!" The tan mouse called out. The latter both understood and nodded. They split and each rode around the vicious giant. He tried to reach for them but they were too fast.
"Let's do this right, baby." Throttle told his bike. It beeped in agreement.
It then leaped up and over the giant. Borg reached for him but missed. Grappling hooks dispatched from the bikes. The ropes lassoed Borg around the legs and shoulders. The latter fell to the floor hog tied.
"Nice work, bros." Throttle chuckled. Modo and Vinnie rode up to him.
"Like they always say, 'The badder you are, the harder you fall.'" Modo said.
Suddenly, they heard a clitch-click. It sounded like an automatic rifle. The mice quickly turned to see Lord Camembert aiming a large blaster at them.
"You three have caused me no end of trouble."He said.
The mice quickly glanced around the room for a way out.
"Go ahead. Try it. It'll give me more reason than ever to kill you." He said.
He was just about to fire when a large ship crashed into the wall. The shocked Plutarkian leader was wedged in between the wall and the ship.
"Charley and company's rescue service!" The auburn-haired mechanic joked,"Special delivery!"
"Nice timing, Sweetheart." Vinnie replied. Throttle and Modo grinned.
"I believe it's time we as you say we 'made tracks'" Dr. What told them.
The three mice quickly got on board the ship. It pulled out of the wall and flew off into space.
"Get them!" Lord Camembert exclaimed, "Five thousand Plutarkian gold gills to the fish who brings those moldy mice back dead or alive!"
"Uh-Oh! We got the Fish Faces on our tails." Indigo said.
"Not to worry. I'm gonna fry their fins!" Vinnie replied, picking up a giant missile launcher. He then opened the escape hatch and fired. The Plutarkian ship dodged his shot then fired knocking the blaster out of his hands. Vinnie dived back into the ship.
"I said it before. 'It works before the weapon flies out the door.'" Throttle reminded him.
"And like I said before, 'Timing is everything.'" Vinnie replied.
"Then let's play 'Chicken' with those Tuna Tails!" Harley said, turning the ship over so that everyone fell over.
The Biker Mice lost their footing and fell into the escape pod along with Carbine, Indigo and Charley. She then fastened them into it.
"Harley, what are you...?" Vinnie exclaimed. He placed both of his hands inside the wall of the escape pod.
"I'm sorry, Vinnie, but it has to be this way." She said, glancing at him.
She placed her hand on the side of escape pod where his hand rested inside.
How she longed to be held in his arms again! To feel his soft, sweet lips against hers!
"Protect our planet." She replied, "Bye."
She punched the button which released the escape pod.
"Harley! Harley!" Vinnie called out.
The pod flew off into outer space.
But Harley walked away with her head down to hide her tears as went to man the spacecraft.
She looked up to see Dr. What.
"Get out of here! Why are you here?"She asked.
"I wish to help if I may."He replied.
"Fine. Your funeral." She said, "We need to buy the guys time to get back to Mars."
"Agreed."Dr. What said.
Meanwhile on the Plutarkian ship...
"Sir, they've just released an escape pod." An officer said.
"Blown them out of th...what's happening?" The captain asked.
Missile blasts ripped into the hull of their ship.
"Now, I'm gonna ram'em!" Harley said, flying the ship directly towards the Plutarkian ship.
"Are they crazy?!" The captain exclaimed.
Meanwhile the escape pod safely landed on Mars. The Mice and their friends got out and looked up at the sky. The two ships collided and were enveloped into a mushroom cloud of fire, smoke, and debris.
"HARLEY!" Vinnie cried.
"No! Doctor...He didn't deserve this." Indigo said, as she cried on Modo's shoulder while the latter took her into his arms.
"No need for tears. Scope it out!" Throttle said.
Dr. What flew down the surface of Mars on what looked like a skateboard with rockets underneath. Harley rode on a similar mode of transportation.
"You're both okay." Charley said.
"Thanks to Harley. She's very sharp." Dr. What commented. Harley grinned at his complement.
"Oh, you're too kind. Medicine is only one of my talents. I've dabbled a bit in designing cool methods of transportation."
"I see. Most impressive."
Suddenly Harley found herself engulfed a pair of strong muscular furry arms.
"Harley, I'm so glad you're alive." Vinnie said, hugging her.
"What happened to the Symbiote, Doctor?" Indigo asked.
"Here." The two Symbiotes were floating before the doctor. They then merged into one large organism.
"They found each other so now they'll never again be alone." He remarked, "I'm taking them back to their dimension."Dr. What said, pressing a button which created a swirling cacophony of colors resulting in a dimensional portal.
"Farewell,my friends." He said, entering the portal.
"Wait!" Harley cried out, running up to him. He turned to see her approach.
"I'm coming with you." She said.
Dr. What smiled.
"I'd like that."
Vinnie and the others looked surprised.
"You sure, Harley?"Throttle asked.
"Very. I found a kindred spirit. Besides, he knows as much about medicine as I do."
"I'll miss you, honey."Vinnie said.
"Keep fighting, cutie. And remember...we'll always have Mars." She replied, then kissed him on the mouth.
"Yeah." He muttered, as he watched her forever disappear into the portal with Dr. What.
