Life's Second Chance

Deception

The sound of ear shattering roars filled the sky with tension and an unspoken terror.

"Watashi ni!" came a very sharp note which beckoned five others to her side. All dressed in dark attire and tinted helmets, their line of focus zoomed in on two bikers, one of a gray hue while the other rode doubles on a red custom Speedster.

"Beaten by an arm stretch!" laughed Modo as he extended his arms striking two drivers on buggies across the chest- forcing them to fly out of their seat.

"AHHAHAHAAAWWW!" called out Vinnie as he pressed a button releasing two mini-missiles. "Too bad Throttle's missin' all the fun!"

"Where is Throttle anyway?" Charlie cut in making her two companions exchange glances before they lit upon the group before them. "Woa, looks like Limburger got an upgrade," chuckled Vinnie.

Modo commented, "Yea, They look like they're fresh out of a James Bomb movie."

It was then an explosion from behind forced the trio to skid to a pause, "Speaking of bomb," Vincent chuckled slyly.

They all looked over their shoulders to see a very hyped up Martian calling out, " To me bros!" As Throttle rode up a collapsed street lamp post and soared over their heads, he landed with a defensive skid in front of them.

"What took you so long bro?" Vinnie chuckled, only to have the smile wiped off his face when the gold-tan martian headed towards the opposite direction.

"We have to get outta here!" Throttled shouted over the roaring engines.

"What?" Charlie prompted, followed up by Modo's "Since when do you back out of a fight?"

Vinnie wouldn't accept the idea of a retreat either, but before his words broke into the conversation, Throttle interjected. "No time to explain-"

"Well, well, well.." came a very familiar female's voice making Throttle cringe. "Couldn't keep your nose outta the cheese could you." The sarcastic display forced the four bikers in front of her and her crew to shoot their gazes towards them.

When the speaker unveiled her face and pulled her tinted helmet off her head, the Biker Mice forced a deep crease between their eyebrows in disbelief.

"I should've known!" Charlie broke out in an animated sort of way. "There would only be one person who'd be two faced enough to sell out Limburger by telling us about his plans!"

When the mice turned to face the very vocal Charlene, the mechanic continued, "You're going to dethrone the Big Cheese so that Big Brother could take over..isn't that right..May." Charlie emphasized.

The female biker dressed in black could only just smile and laugh darkly at the display, "Heh, heh, heh. What can I say, you got me." May's snide remark rang out confidently.

A very surprised Throttle turned to catch the piercing distrusting gaze of the girl speaking to them. He knew for a fact that he hadn't disclosed the contents of the letter to Charlie, and no one else could've read the invisible ink either.

"Oh don't look so surprised," came the very cryptic Charlene Davidson as she glanced over at Throttle, "Ray's in New York remember?"

Modo soon chimed in, "Yea, Ray wouldn't ever sell anyone out-even if it was a stink face Plutarkian scum bag like Limburger." His words sounded very out of character.

"I don't know why the M.I.B. released you, but trust me you won't live long enough to see another day.." Charlie threatened.

"Charlie girl.." Vinnie commented quite surprised. Sure Charlie had hit some rough ends in the past, but never had he seen her in such a state of hate. It was so unlike her..It scared him. It was then he realized that all this time-ever since they'd learned about Ray's case and her twin, Charlie had been hording all her negative feelings. She seemed like a totally different person now.

Throttle sighed deeply as he bowed his head. "Someone must've slipped the intel to Charlie..but who?" he thought silently. None of his bros knew a thing about it-he was sure of it. Things weren't going to go as smoothly as planned after all-just like he'd predicted. His heart sank. Looking squarely at the girl who pretended to be May nodded once. "Let's make this look good.." he said under his breath.
