At evening time on Mars. 4 Waterrats comes, from the desert, riding on their bikes, towards nearest of the Mice´s water towers. The leader is a dark brown male, he´s followed by a light brown female with long dark brown hair, a grey male and a black female with long light brown hair.


The leader: Bro ´n´ sis´! Remember, only to take so much water as the Mice can do without!


The black female: Have we ever taken to much Trulors?!


Trulors: No we haven´t Funings! But I just wanna be sure, that you all follows the rules!


The grey male: Have we ever broken them Trulors?!


The light brown female: No Taway, we haven´t! But you keep walking on the edge!


Taway: And I´m having fun doing it! But I still think, that you should had stayed at home, especially in your condition Sumain!


Sumain: Just because I´m pregnant, don´t mean, that I can´t do, what I want to!


Funings: But you have to be extra careful or else you´ll lose your unborn and I don´t think, that Alven will be very pleased with that!


Sumain: Don´t tell me, what my husband likes and dislikes sis!


Funings: Okay I won´t sis!


They reaches the water tank and no guards are seen.


Trulors: Looks like, we don´t need your Mystican powers tonight Taway.


Taway: Shit! And I was looking forward to use them.


Suddenly a lone Mouse guard appears.


The guard: Who´s there?!


Taway puts both his hands on his head and red glow surrounds Taway´s forehead.


Taway: There´s no ones here soldier!


The Guard turns around and leaves the place, believing that´s no one´s there.


Trulors: Okay, let´s take the water, we need.


The Waterrats takes their water tanks and files them. As Taway, as the last one, starts to fill up his tanks.


Trulors: That´s enough.


Taway: But it ain´t even halffull.

Trulors: It´s the Mice´s water, not ours. If we take too much, they´ll find out, that we are taking water from them and the war will start again and I´ve put so much of my precious time, into the armistice we have now and I don´t wanna have it broken, because of something like this.

Taway: Sorry bro, it wasn´t my meaning to upset you, it´s just that, that it´s so unfair, that they have the green side of Mars and we have the desert, the mountains and our underground capital Heaven, witch is the only place we have, were there´s green and luckily they don´t know about it. And their government are selling our land to those Plutarkians.

Trulors: I know that it´s unfair, let´s not discuss it here, but at home.


Taway: Yes, let us leave the ground of these unbelievers.


The Waterrats revs their bikes.


The Waterrats: Let´s ride!


The Waterrats rides towards their underground capital. As they reach the desert, they hear a big explosion, sees a mushroom cloud on their side of the border and hits the brakes.


Taway: What was that?


Funings: It sure looks big.


Sumain: I hope no ones hurt.


Trulors: There´s only one way to find out of that. Let´s ride!


As they reach the place, they find 4 ruined bikes, one of them is more ruined than the others. Then they spot the 4 badly injured Mice. A white and an yellow male and a red with long black hair and a grey with long yellow hair female.

Trulors: Taway, you complained about, that you couldn´t use your powers tonight. Use them now, ´cause else they are going to die.

Taway: Okay.

Taway gets off his bike and runs the yellow Mouse, who´s the most injured of them.

Taway: This is a massacre bro! If I heal this one completely, I won´t have enough power left to save the others.

Trulors: Then heal them, so they at least can survive, you can do the rest at home.

Taway: You mean, that we´ll take them with us, to Heaven?


Trulors: Yes.


Taway: But!


Trulors: No buts here.


Taway: Yes, Your Royal Highness.


Funings: Oh, we´re mad tonight.


Taway: Mind your own business.


Taway heals the Mice one after one. Then they each take a Mouse on their bikes backseat. Trulors takes the white male, Sumain takes the red with black hair female, Funings takes the grey with yellow hair female and Taway takes the yellow male.

Sumain: What about the bikes? We can´t leave them here, ´cause if the other Mice finds them like that, they´ll think, we´ve got something to do with it.

Trulors: We have to get them later, when we have got these Mice into bed.


The Waterrats: Let´s ride!


They ride towards nearest oasis, the one which later becomes the Garden of Hope. As they arrive to the oasis, they stops at the edge of the lake.

Trulors: Taway will you be so kind to use your powers, so that we can get home. without these Mice drowning?

Taway: I have the feeling, we´re making a big mistake, by taking them with us to Heaven. But okay, you´re the king and so it´s your responsibility.

Taway´s hands starts to glow red and a forcefield surrounds the bikes, their owners and the Mice and they rides into the lake. At the bottom they ride into a cave and they stops in the middle of it. A massive iron-door closes the cave entrance, the water disappears and at the end of the cave, another iron-door opens. They starts riding into their capital Heaven.


Trulors: Next stop the hospital!


Funings: The last one there, is a Plutarkian!


They rides to the hospital and are there at the same time. They takes the Mice to a room with 4 beds and lays them down, one in each their bed.


Trulors: Taway, Sumain, you stay two here, until we get back with the remains of their bikes.


Sumain: But I wanna go with you.


Trulors: Taway needs your help with these Mice.

Sumain: He needs a darn shit! Why can´t you just tell it as it is! You don´t want me with you, ´cause I´m pregnant!

Funings: It´s more because, that Taway won´t be with us, if something should happen to you.


Sumain: But!

Taway: Clam down or you´ll lose it! I know, you won´t have that to happen sis. And right now, I don´t have enough power to prevent something like that to happen.

Trulors: Are you okay bro?


Taway: Yeah, but don´t count on my powers, at last for the next 6 hours.

Trulors: Okay we won´t. But I like you to know, that you did good a piece of work out there bro.

Taway: That was nothing bro. But you better get out there and bring back those bikes, before the Mice finds them and thinks, that we have kill their owners. Maybe we´ll even be so lucky, that we can get them to look like bikes again and find out what happened back there.

Trulors: Take good care of them, when they wake up.

Taway: You must mean, take good care of yourself, ´cause the first thing they´ll try to do, is to kill us. But we´ll take care of that, so don´t worry about that bro.

Trulors: Okay, then we´ll leave you two with them.


Taway & Sumain: Have a nice bath!


Trulors & Funings: Will do!


Trulors and Funings leaves Taway and Sumain with the Mice. Then they goes to their bikes, puts a trailer on each of them, revs them and rides over to and into the cave.


Trulors: Are you ready sis?


Funings: Couldn't be more ready bro.

Trulors: Okay, close the door to Heaven and open the door to the lake.

The door to Heaven closes first, as it´s closed the lake door opens. The water takes 2 seconds to fill the cave.


Funings: Do you know, how good it is to know, that our helmets and bikes are waterproof bro?

Trulors: Yes I do, or else we couldn´t leave Heaven without Taway´s powers, but then there´s still the problem, that we get wet, when we´re without him.

Funings: Well, let´s get those bikes bro.


Trulors: Let´s ride!


The Waterrats rides up of the lake, to the place, where they found the Mice.


Trulors: Be careful sis, they´re maybe still active.


One of the bikes laser fires one shot.


Funings: Yep, they are still active, even though they´re so demolished, I´d be prod, to own a bike like that bro.


Trulors: Well then, ask one of the Mice to make one for you.


Funings: Are you crazy or what bro? They´ll rather kill me, than to do that.


Trulors: Then invent one yourself sis.


Funings: I´m trying, I´m trying bro.


Trulors: Well, we better collect those bikes parts and get them to Heaven sis.


Funings: Yeah, let´s do that.


The Waterrats collects the bikes parts, puts them into the trailers and rides to Heaven. While that happens, Taway and Sumain clans up the Mice and as they´re done with that, they sit down, on each their chair, waiting for something to happen.
