True Love Prevails- Chapter Nine
"Woooooohooooo!" Throttle and Vinnie whooped together while pretending to fan themselves.
"Aw, cut it out, bros!" Modo replied, while a slight blush shone on his face.
The large gentle giant was clearly smitten with the raven haired beauty before him.
"Too bad you won't live long enough to enjoy your new romance. My lords and ladies, rip those mice to shreds!" Daniel cried .
The pack began bearing their fangs and came charging at the three heroic bikers.
"Some people never learn, do they?" Throttle told Vinnie and Modo.
"Yeah, must be a fetish with them." Modo replied.
"Then I say let's whip some tail!" Vinnie cried out, lighting a flare before throwing it.
Several of the wolves were blown into the air and into a wall.
"Get behind me, Miss Hecuba Ma'am. This could get ugly." Modo told her.
"Ah, you are braver than a knight in shining armour."Hecuba said.
Modo smiled at her then his smile faded and he set his jaw. He had to concentrate. His friends needed him to provide the muscle for this fight.
The wolves came charging at them. Modo fired his cybernetic arm cannon at the floor to create a large hole. Several of the wolves fell into it.
"Guess they couldn't stay!" Modo joked.
""Yeah, you could say they really hit rock bottom!" Vinnie joked back.
"Ughhh!" Throttle and Modo both groaned at that weak joke.
"Rock, get it? Bottom?" Vinnie tried to explain, "Bros?"
"You macho mice can crack all the lame jokes you want later. Right now, we have problems." Charley told them., pointing. at the approaching pack.
Unbeknownst to the Biker Mice, Rayford, now transformed into a wolf, was behind Throttle. He sneaked up on him and suddenly leaped into the air, teeth bared, mouth open.
"THROTTLE!" Carbine screamed, pushing him out of the way.
The female general looked down for a minute to take out her blaster. Before she could fire, he bit into her side. She felt herself fall to the ground. She looked down at herself as she saw her clothes stained with blood. Her face was full of shock. Her knees buckled as she felt herself sinking to the ground.
"CARBINE! "The tan furred mouse cried out.
Throttle angrily activated his Nuke Knuckles and socked the wolf in the jaw breaking out its teeth.
"Carbine!" Throttle cried out, then his voice broke, "No..."
He took her in his arms cradling her.
The tan furred leader's hand shook as he realized it was stained with the blood of the love of his life. In spite of her pain, Carbine smiled up at him.
"Why did you...?" He asked.
"I couldn't let him hurt you, Throttle. I love you. I always have and I always will."
"Carbine...I love you,too. And I ain't going anywhere." He murmured, as he continued to cradle her bleeding body towards him.
"Allow me, my dear."Hecuba said, running over and ripping part of Carbine's shirt and placing what looked like a sponge on the tear.
Hecuba then closed her eyes and concentrated with all her might. A glowing bluish, pink orb shown over the wound.
Hecuba felt dizzy and was about to faint when Modo caught her.
"You okay, Miss Hecuba Ma'am?" The gentle giant asked.
"I am well. My healing powers take a lot of my strength. That's why I don't use them very often." She replied, with a smile, then to Throttle, "See she gets plenty of rest. My healing salve sealed up the wound but she'll still be weak."
"You"re all dead mice." Daniel told them.
Throttle frowned while protectively continuing to shield Carbine. He was hugging her and would never let her go.
"Forget about me,Throttle. Save yourselves and Mars." Carbine murmured weakly.
"No! I'm not leaving you, Carbine. The whole pack will have to go through me to get you." The tan furred leader replied, face set.
"You mean the pack will have to get through us." Modo said, brandishing his laser cannon.
"Yeah, why should you have all the fun?" Vinnie asked, twirling around a blaster.
Throttle grinned at his two bros who grinned back.
Vivica saw the way Throttle held Carbine. Tears stung the young wolf woman's eyes as she realized he really did love Carbine. Vivica felt her heart breaking as it dawned on her that Throttle didn't love her and never would. She looked away and shook her head. Now wasn't the time for tears.
She transformed into a wolf and got in front of the Biker Mice and Charley.
"Go! All of you! I'll hold off the pack!" Vivica cried out loud.
"Vivica...what...?" Throttle began.
"Not now, Throttle. Your lady needs you. Get out of here!"
"Sorry, babe, but the Biker Mice From Mars never leave a friend in the lurch. Charley-girl, get Carbine to safety." Throttle told her.
The auburn haired woman already put on her motorcycle helmet as well as helped the injured lady general onto her bike.
"Watch yourselves, guys." Charley said, before riding off.
"You'd attack your own pack, Vivica? Your own family? I thought you had more sense than that, my girl." Daniel said to her.
"The Biker Mice and Charley are my family. And when has the pack ever been the family I wanted? The pack turned on me and my mother. You were gonna have the pack hunt us down and kill us! Don't try to talk to me about family, Daniel!"
"Because you've become a traitor and sided with my enemies. They've stolen my bride from me. That vile witch..." Daniel replied, suddenly glaring at Hecuba, "She stole my youth from me."
Hecuba lifted her head defiantly and stared at him without flinching.
"Killing her alone would give me the greatest pleasure." He said.
Suddenly, .a large laser cannon was thrusted into his face.
"That ain't gonna happen, pal!" Modo shouted.
"Besides, it looks like your posse left you holding the bag." Throttle chuckled, pointing with his thumb.
Several members of the pack stumbled around after their fight with the Biker Mice.
"Boo!" Vinnie said to them. The pack jumped back.
Many of them ran away in terror. Others who were knocked out were carried away by their companions.
"Come back, you cowards! Obey your leader. Come back, you hear!" Daniel cried out to the fleeing wolves.
"Looks like some serious desertion in the ranks." Modo chuckled.
All three mice then laughed.
"This isn't over. Not by a long shot. I'll get you mice for this!" Daniel screamed.
"You can try. " Throttle said.
"But it ain't gonna happen." Modo joined in.
"'Cause we're the baddest mammajammas in the universe!" Vinnie finished the sentence.
