The garage. "Rimfire, pick us up on Quigley field. In 3 hours, gotcha, have a safe trip." Modo put down the CB microphone and walked into the living room. "Guys, there coming to get us in 3 hours." Throttle and Vinnie nod their heads. "So, does this me we are still going to trash Limburger tower?" Throttle smiles up at Vinnie, "we have plenty of time, and were all packed. I would say it is going to take us about 5 minutes to trash the tower and a few more to get to Quigley field. Will trash it in 2 and a half hours." Vinnie jumps into the air with a, "yeehaa." Throttle and Modo look at each other, (Together) "Did he just say 'yeehaw'?" Both start to laugh while Vinnie pouts, "man, at least a cool cowboy said it." With that Modo and Throttle bust into tears. "What's so funny?" The guys look at Tiko and Charlie coming from upstairs. The guys just laugh as the girls look confused. Tiko whispers to Charlie, *men, you never know what they are thinking.* Charlie nods in agreement as they head into the kitchen. Throttle calls from the couch, "were going to leave in 2 and a half hours, we thought we would trash the tower before we head over to Quigley field." Tiko peeks out of the kitchen door, "how exactly are you planning to do that?" Throttle smiles, "the same way we do it every time, blow the crap out of it with our blasters." Tiko shakes her head, "don't you guys ever learn finesse or style." "Hey pretty lady, we have style." Charlie calls from the kitchen, "yeah, it's called shoot now, ask questions later." Tiko chuckles and Vinnie gives her a dirty look. "Charlie-girl, don't make me come in there." Charlie peeks her head out from the kitchen, "what are you going to do, lock me in my room?" With that Vinnie charges Charlie, who screams and runs upstairs to her room. Tiko just smiles, Charlie is so happy, I hope I haven't made a mistake by bringing her to Mars with me. "So babe, are you going to be a smartass too?" Tiko turns around and is face to face with Throttle. She gets an evil grin, "actually, I wasn't going to put up much of a protest, I was going to suggest that we go my place." Throttle gives Tiko a confused look, "your place?" Tiko rubs his ears and pecks him on the nose. "I owe a house a little ways from here, I just stayed with Charlie because it was more fun. If you don't want to go..." Throttle scoops her into his arms, "lead the way babe."
Modo sits on the couch and looks around, Vinnie is wrestling with Charlie upstairs, Throttle and Tiko went to her place. I can't believe that I actually have the television remote to myself. Modo happily puts up his feet and settles into the couch, "let's see what's on the tube."
150 minutes later...
Throttle, Modo and Tiko are all on their own rides while Charlie rides on the back of Vinnie's bike. "Are we all ready to go?" Everyone nods and they all start their engines. "Let's ROCK (together) and RIDE!" They all take off, heading towards Limburger tower. "Throttle." Throttle turns his head and looks at Tiko, "yeah babe?" "Are we going to destroy the tower from the outside with our blasters or are we going to blow it from the inside?" Throttle sits back and ponders a while, "What do you think bros, blast from the outside at a safe distance, or go inside and face a gauntlet of destruction and danger." The three mice smile, "DESTRUCTION AND DANGER!" Tiko and Charlie groan loudly, "men."
Outer space. "Rimfire, how much longer till we reach earth?" Rimfire turns to Carbine, "about 20 minutes ma'am." Carbine's eyes go wide, "Ma'am, I'm not that old. Call me Carbine." Rimfire smiles but frowns again when he realizes the hostility that Carbine presence is going to cause when Throttle comes aboard. Why me?
The tower. "Karbunkle." Karbunkle comes into Limburgers office. "Yes your molted meltiness?" Limburger signs and leans back in his chair. "I believe a vacation is in order right about now. Pack up your things, we are going to the Bahamas." Karbunkle clasps his hands together, "I always wanted to go there, they have such wonderful live specimens." Karbunkle leaves the lab and Limburger goes to his room to pack.
Outside the tower. Tiko leans down to her bike, *remember Butterfly, if Charlie is ever in trouble, forget me and help her.* Butterfly beeps in response. The mice rev up their engines and start to drive up the wall. There is no one firing at them because everyone has packed and already left. "What's up Throttle, there is no resistance." Throttle just shrugs as they bust threw Limburger's office window. They look around and notice that their is no one in sight. Tiko goes to Limburger's desk and see a list. "Hey guys, I think I know why there is no one here. They left for a vacation somewhere tropical." "WHAT? You mean there is no one here to pound?" Vinnie slumps on his bike. "Don't worry handsome, we can still have a fun time destroying the floors, one by one. When Limburger gets back, he'll have one hell of a surprise." The mice yell and charge off, blasting everything in sight. While Tiko goes to Limburger's desk computer. She starts hacking into some classified military files, she smiles wide when she sees a folder marked, "Plutarkian battle strategies." Tiko copies the file and jumps on her bike, she rides out of the window right before the floor disintegrates under her. When she reaches the bottom, she can see the bikes are on the third floor, all the ones above it are totally ruined. BOOM. The mice come out and are all laughing. "Now that was better then a amusement park ride." The mice turn to Tiko, "there you are babe, I was wondering where you ran off to." Tiko gets off her bike, "while you guys blew everything up, I hacked into Limburger's computer and downloaded files on Plutarkian battle strategies. If the Sand Raiders fought along with the Plutarkians, I have a feeling they fought the same way, I think maybe they might come in some use." Throttle starts to laugh, "that's my girl." Tiko steps up to Throttle and kisses him deeply, "hummmm... and that's my man." Modo and Vinnie yell, "way to go Throttle." "Guys, I think it's time to head to Quigley field, Rimfire is suppose to land in a few minutes." The guys nod and they all head to Quigley field.
