Here we go again but still a needed part of the process.
I do not own the BMFM and I make no profit from writing this story other
than the hope that others will enjoy it.
Zoey and the Bloodties story line are the ingenious creation of Hayden to
whom I will always be beholden for her allowing me to use them here.
"Stop, Sammy I wanna knock down da Tower!"
"No! It's my turn. You knockeded it down two times already!"
"So, dere my blocks and my daddy is da biker mice!"
"I don't care you don't play fair! I'm not your friend and I wanna
go home!"
The two little voices squabbled.
"Okay ladies that's just about enough. Zoey if you can't share with
Samantha she won't want to come and play with you. Friends share, remember
what Daddy told you?"
"Yes Mommy, always treat a bro right. I'm sorry Sammy. You can have
a turn."
"Thanks Zoey you are my bestest best friend."
With the crisis ended Charley smiled and went back inside to finish her
chores. But as the two little ones continued their playing they were unaware
of the eyes of danger watching their every move.
Charley had left the garage door up thinking it would be safe with her just
inside. Zoey couldn't go out much in the daytime with out all the things
it took to hide her appearance. Since not many people lived in her part
of town, thanks to Limburger, she was pretty confident of their safety.
Samantha was the daughter of Chase, Charlie's life long friend and the only
other human she'd dare trust to tell her secret other than Jack. Having
a Martian father and being part Martian herself made life lonely at times
for Zoey but having Samantha as her friend helped so much.
As the two little girls played the strange eyes skulked closer to the opened
doorway. Checking to make sure no adults were around he quietly slipped
in and with out startling the children spoke melodiously seeking to gain
their confidence.
"Hi there little ladies are we having fun." The sinister stranger
asked.
The children both looked up and at first said nothing wondering who he was.
"You aren't suppose to be in here. I don't know you." Zoey said
putting a hand on her tiny hips.
"But Zoey he is a mice like you and your daddy" Samantha said
noticing the stranger was a Martian mouse.
He was the snow-white color of Vinnie and that's where the resemblance ended.
His eyes were a cruel blood red; his smile dripped of evil intentions and
long white hair hung down his back almost to his waist gathered into a long
braid. He was dressed in a full-length black leather coat that practically
reached the ground and this only added to his eerie appearance
But his voice was low and pleasant to a child's ears.
" That's right little one I'm a friend of your daddy's. I know you,
your mommy Charley and even your uncle Throttle and Modo. In fact your daddy
sent me to get you. He said that I should come and bring you to him right
away." He inched closer.
"Why didn't he call my mommy on the radio?" Zoey asked suspiciously
but almost believing the strangers lie.
"Well umm.because he was hurt and that's way he sent me to get you.
He wanted you to come help him and not worry your mother."
He smiled knowing he was just about to win her over. Samantha back away
as he got closer still not completely convinced of his lie pulling Zoey
with her.
"Zoey you better call your mommy?" She whispers getting more and
more frighten.
Before either child could do anything the mouse lugged and grabbed Zoey
pushing Samantha down. He bolted out of the garage with the kicking struggling
child in his arms.
"Auntie Charley! Auntie Charley! A big mouse just took Zoey come quick!
Auntie Charley!" Samantha scrambled off the floor ran screaming for
Charley.
An ice cold Panic filled Charlie's heart at the sound of the screams. She
flew out only to see the white mouse pounce on his bike with her daughter
struggling in his grasp.
"No! No! Not again, I won't let it happen again." Charley screamed
at the kidnapper. She grabbed hold of his coat fighting savagely trying
to save her child. But she was no match for the muscular mouse and he easily
pushed her out of the way and took off with terrified Zoey screaming and
kicking wildly.
Samantha crying went to Charlie's side seeing there was nothing she could
do to help her best friend. Charley sat on the ground holding the frightened
little girl watching her own baby being spirited away and not being able
to stop what was happening.
At that moment Vinnie, Modo and Throttle came tearing down the street.
Vinnie jumped off his bike running to his wife. Trying to find out what
had just happened.
"He's got her! That way, stop him! Vinnie he's got our baby!"
Vinnie turned to see the trail of the smoke left by the abductor. Took off
after him with Modo and Throttle close behind him. They practically flew
in the direction Charley had indicated and soon saw the huge black and gold
bike of the strange white mouse.
Vinnie didn't know what to do, he saw Zoey's small feet kicking violently
and he could her screams. How could he stop this maniac from taking his
child with out getting her hurt or worst? No wild stunts for this one, nothing
that might in danger his precious baby's life. He could only look to Throttle
hoping he had some kind of a plan for all of this.
Throttle realized his bro was depending on him now more than any other time
in his life, he had to think of a way to rescue the child and do it with
out getting her killed. Braking out in a cold sweat trying to think of something,
anything to rescue the life that was more precious to him than his own.
The depraved white mouse boasted loudly how he knew Limburger was going
to pay him a pretty price for the return of his property. The mention of
Limburger's name gripped Zoey's little heart filling her with a horror beyond
words.
"No!" She wasn't going back there back to the pain, away from
her mommy and daddy. She wasn't going to let this bad mouse take her there.
She had to get away. She had to stop and think, be like mommy. Then looking
around she noticed he only had one hand around her and he wasn't using his
tail to secure her.
The Bikermice caught up and surround the strange mouse but he knew they
would do nothing as long as he had Zoey.
"Back off bros. if you don't want me to make this uglier than
it has to be."
His voice letting them knows he would make true the threat. That the child
's life meant nothing to him.
Seeing her father and uncles surround them, Zoey picked just that moment
to bite down hard on the hand holding her around the waist wiggling out
of his grasp she jumped off the bike.
ZOEY NO!! Vinnie yelled terrified at the site of her little body hitting
the street tumbling to a motionless stop.
Vinnie screeched to a halt just inch from his baby. Got off his bike and
falling to his knees grabbed her up, she wasn't breathing.
Modo and Throttle chased the mysterious mouse a short distance but gave
up and went back to see how badly Zoey was hurt.
The little figure lay still in her father's shaking arms. He not knowing
what else to do. Modo seeing the lifeless little girl flew off his bike
snatched Zoey from Vinnie and lay her on the ground. He tilled her head
back, opened her mouth and began puffing small amounts of air into her lungs.
Then stopping he pressed on her chest counting silently. He repeated this
a number of times. Vinnie hadn't a clue to what Modo was doing but trusted
the life of his daughter to the big mouse.
At first nothing, Vinnie's head fell into his hands his heart falling into
a million pieces at the apparent lost of his only child. Then he heard a
soft coughing sound. Zoey began breathing on her own, than slowly back to
consciousness. Modo picked her up and handed her to her father.
Giving him a weak smile she said, "See Daddy I'm a bad mammy jammy
too."
"Yeah baby the sweetest piece of velocity atrocity this side of Mars."
Vinnie sighed as he held his daughter closer not letting her see the tears
in his eyes.
He reached over took the hand of his friend and could only whisper a more
than grateful, "Thanks Bro."
Back at the Garage:
Charley hadn't moved, she and Samantha sat on the curb waiting.
"Don't worry Auntie Charley you member they are the Biker Mice from
Mars. They will save Zoey. Like Unca Vinnie says they're heroes"
Charley put an arm around the brave little shoulders and smiled giving Samantha
a hug of thanks.
Then Chase drove up and ran out of truck knowing something was very wrong
seeing them sitting there. She saw a look in Charlie's face any mother could
recognize. Fear!
"What happened Charley? Where's Zoey? Chase questioned picking up her
own shaken daughter.
Before Charley could begin to explain her heart stopped as she heard the
sound of the guy's bikes coming back and the blessed feeling of relief at
the sight of her daughter safe in her father's arms. Zoey was covered with
dirt, her clothes wear torn and she was bruised from head to toe. But she
was safe.
Chase being a register nurse gave Zoey a good looking over since taking
her to a doctor or hospital was out of the question.
"From what I can tell she looks okay, a few bumps and bruises but I
think with a little TLC and a few brightly colored bandages she will pull
through."
Charley took care of hurts and bumps with Samantha helping to put on Zoey's
bandages, happy to have her best friend back. Then tucking them both into
Zoey's bed let the children get a much-needed rest.
They held each other's hand tightly as each little girl got a kiss of a
secure promise from their mothers that they would be safe and could sleep
unafraid.
Throttle stood at the door watching the women tends to their children and
could only feel like his life was missing something. Man, did he miss Carbine
at that moment.
"Why don't you ladies go on down to the garage I think I know a something
that will help two little Bikermice settle in." He said as he put an
arm around the two women and escorted them out of the room.
Then sitting on the end of the bed he gave them each an extra tuck of the
covers and began singing. From the other side of the door the two women
could hear a low male voice sing in a beautiful tone, in a language they
had never heard. Smiling at each other they left him to continue.
"Who was that guy? How would he even know about Zoey and what could
he have wanted with her." Vinnie fumed as he slammed his fist down
on the table.
"Easy Love don't worry we'll find out. We are just going to have to
be super careful until we know what's goin on." Charley put a supportive
arm around her husband's waist.
"Yeah bro we will do what ever we have to keep our baby safe."
Modo added his guarantee.
Modo walked over to Chase and put a strong arm around her. She simply smiled
and allowed herself the support offered, laying her head on his chest.
"Played hero again huh Big fella? Zoey told us what you did. If it
wasn't for you she would have died." Chase reaches up and kisses his
cheek.
" Not really just being there for my bros. is all. If it wasn't for
that stuff you taught me I couldn't have done anything." Modo gives
her a gentle squeeze.
Charley walks up to both of them and gives them a joint hug.
"Thank you both for our baby's life. You know there is no way to really
say how we feel. We love you both so much." Charley said knowing what
a rare and precious gift she had in their friendship.
Vinnie looks into the faces of the human/ Martian couple with a look that
said all he felt. It was enough.
