After the Waterrats has left the garage, the Mice first looks at the remains of their bikes and then at each other.

Lava: This place must be full of bugs, since they left us, without any complains. So.. Let´s find them!

All: Yeah, let´s find them!
The Mice spilt up and looks everywhere, both up- and downstairs, even inside Funings´ private rooms. But they don´t find any bugs at all. After the search they meet at the remains of their bikes.
Lave: Did you find anything?
Snow: I couldn´t find anything.
Angel: Nothing here too.
Speed: It´s clear, they´re simply too stupid to bug a place.
Lava: Or too wise.
The others: What?

Lava: Well, if they told us the truth about our government, then why should they bug this place?


Snow: You got a point there.


Angel: But what do you what us to do? Trust them?


Speed: And find out that they´re fooling us, when it´s too late?


Lava: No, but let´s keep a low profile, and find out what´s going on. Who want to be the agent?


The others looks at each other, and then at Lava.


Speed & Angel: I´ll do it.


Angel: You?


Speed: I got us into this, so let me take care of it.


Angel: But I´m the best.


Lava: I think, it´s best if you stay here sis.


Angel: But..


Lava: You already got a whole lot to do right here. And you can´t be two places at the same time.

Lava points at the remains of their bikes.
Angel: You got a point there. Okay I´ll stay, but why can´t Snow do it instead?
Snow: Who? Me?
Angel: Yes you. At least you know how to keep a low profile.
Speed: Are you saying, that I can´t keep a low profile?
Angel: Well, since I´ve never seen you keep a low profile, so..

Lava: Stop it you two. Angel, you stay here, and repairs our bikes, and don´t worry, Snow and I´ll help you. And Speed, go out and, for Souris Noir´s sake, keep a low profile.


Speed: Your wish, my command.


Lava: And come back here, when the sun´s on it´s highest.


Speed: Okay.


Speed leaves the garage. But he comes quickly back.


Angel: Forgot something?


Speed: No, but there´s no clouds, no sky, and absolutely no sun out there.


Snow: Are you kidding bro?


Speed: No, it´s the truth, if you don´t believe me, then go out and see it for yourself.

Snow: But it´s as light as a summer day.
Speed: Come with me, and show me where the sun is, ´cause I can´t find it.
They all go outside the garage, and they see, that Speed told the truth.

Lava: No wonder why we haven´t been here before. This place have to be under the surface.


Snow: But where does the light comes from?


Angel: Don´t look at me, I haven´t seen anything like this before.


Speed: Well, let´s get our bikes repaired as quick as possible, then we can find out where it comes from.


Lava: We´re not going to find out of it, ´cause as soon as our bikes are fixed, we´re out of there.


Speed: What? Can´t we stay a little while?


Lava: I got a feeling, that the sooner we´re out of here, the better. And the Rats won´t help us with it. Angel, how much time will it take, to repair our bikes?


Angel: That depends on, how fit our bikes have to be. Shall the bikes lasers work, or not? The same goes for the computers.


Lava: Our bikes have to be able to run, and fire their lasers.


Angel: Well, if we all work together, and with a whole lot of luck, then our bikes should ready, in about 6 hours.


Lava: Can´t they be ready sooner?


Angel: Only if Snow makes our bikes lasers, into laserguns, then there should be a chance, that it´ll only take, about 4 hours.


Lava: Snow, can you do that?


Snow: Yes, but the lasers will cause a real hard recoil, if we fire with them. Remember, they are made to be on our bikes, not to be in our hands.


Lava: Well, let´s hope, that we don´t have to use them then. Okay, let´s begin.

The Mice runs inside and starts working. After about 1 and a half hour later.
Snow: Okay, the guns are ready. What now?

Angel: Well, you could always give us a hand over here. If you don´t have anything else to do.

Snow: Okay.
Snow goes over and helps the others. After about 2 and a half hour later, Angel throws the monkey wrench, which she´s been working with, across the garage.
Angel: Well, our bikes may not look, like they use to, but they can run now.
Lava raises her right arm.
Lava: Okay, let´s get out of here!
They run to their bikes, reeves them, and rides outside, at full speed. Soon they get to the place, where the gates to the outside are. The gate to the cave is open, but the gate to the lake is closed.
Lava: Looks like it´s gonna get hard to get outside.
Lava points her laser towards the Rats, who works at the gates. The other Mice follows her example.
Lava: Open that gate at once! Or we´ll kill you!
A light grey, almost white Waterrat steps forward.

The grey Waterrat: Are you totally out of your mind?! If we did that, we´d all drown, and that´s includes you too.

Lava: Do I look like I´m kidding?
The grey Waterrat: No, but the gate stays closed, no matter what!
Lava: Looks like these Rats wants to die. Well, let´s help them!
Lava fires the first shoot towards the Rats, and the laser almost flies out of her hand, because of the recoil. But she keeps on firing. The other Mice starts firing too. The Rats runs for cover, but they don´t draw their laser. As the Rats are away, the Mice rides into the cave, and starts firing at the gate. As the gate gets the first hole, and the water starts flouting in, the Mice realises the big mistake, they´ve made, by not believing, what the grey Waterrat said. Taway comes, like out of nowhere.
Taway: Out! Out! Out! You stupid, crazy Mice!
The Mice rides out of the cave.
Taway: Alven! Close that darn gate now!
The workers closes the gate, right after the Mice has left the cave. Taway is still inside. The other Waterrat riders are just outside the cave.
Lave: Trulors! Command the opening of the gate! Taway´s still inside!

Trulors: Why should I? Taway´s the only one, who can repair the damages, you´ve just made.

The grey Waterrat points his laser at Snow.

The grey Waterrat: You´re selling our land, killing our families, threading our unborn, and you try to destroy our capital. Now it´s time, that you pay for the damages you´ve made! And I´ll start with you!

Sumain places herself between Snow and the grey Waterrat.
Sumain: Alven! If you´re going to kill someone, then kill me first!
Alven: Move away, wife, it´s between him and me!
Sumain: Oh no I won´t, husband!
Trulors points his laser towards Alven

Trulors: You stop that, right now Alven! Or do I have to remind you, who´s the king here?!

Alven puts his laser away, turns and walks towards the gate
Alven: I´m looking forward to be ruled by your son.
Trulors hangs his head down.

Trulors: My son will destroy this planet, if we don´t achieve peace, before my time is over.

Lava: We´ll help you, won´t we?
The other Mice nodes.

Trulors: Thanks, we need all the help we can get, especially from your kind, since you´re the ones, we´ve been fighting against for so long. By the way, can any of you remember, how this war started?

The other Mice looks at Lava.
Lava: I can´t.
Trulors: That doesn´t matter, ´cause I can´t remember it too.
Several loud knock comes from the gate.
Funings: Sounds like Taway´s done repairing the gate.
Angel: It isen´t possible to fixed that hole so fast.

Funings: Taway makes the impossible, possible, through his powers. You better accept it, ´cause it´s the truth, eventhough it´s hard to believe it.

The workers opens the gate, and Taway comes out, sopping wet from head to toe.

Taway: Someone´s going home, right now. Before they decide to make anymore damages.

Alven: I´m with you on that one.
Taway: Thanks.

Trulors: You´re right, it´s time for Lava, and her team of bikers, to go home now. And we´ll follow them home.

Taway & Alven: What?

Trulors: It´s the only decent thing to do. And then there´s the fact, that I don´t think, that their bikes are waterproof, like ours are.


Taway: In other words, you want me to use my powers, to prevent them from ruin their bikes, while we ride to the surface? And by the way their helmets looks, I guess, that I better keep them from drowning too.

Trulors: I see, that you´ve got the idea.

Taway: Man, having powers, isen´t among the funniest things in life. But okay I´ll do it.

Sumain: Yes! Another adventure has just begun!
Alven: Not for you this time, ´cause you´re staying home.
Taway: Hey Alven. Nothing´s going to happen to her, as long I´m around.

Alven: Okay, you´re allowed to go, my love. Taway, if I find out, that one single hair has been touched on my wife, when you get home, then you´re history.

Taway: If one single hair is touched on her, then it´s after I´m history.
Trulors: Are everybody ready to take off?
Taway: Just a second, I´ve got to have my bike with me right?
Trulors: Right.
Taway whistles, and his bike comes towards him. As it´s in front of him, he jumps up on it, rides strait into the cave, and stops in the middle of it.
Taway: What are you waiting for? The dead to rise again?
Trulors and Lava looks at each other, then they nod.
Trulors & Lava: Let´s ride!
Trulors and Lava looks at each other, with surprise in their eye.
Trulors & Lava: Are your.? That´s..
Trulors & Lava starts laughing, then they reeve their bikes, and rides into the cave. The others follows them.
