"What's Limburger up to?" Vinnie asked as he decked another
goon.
"It's got to be some thing pretty big for them to attack us while were
out for lunch," Huffed Throttle looking for some thing to hit a goon
with.
"It's nothing too new," Modo added.
"You got a point there," Throttle agreed. The goons kept coming
more and more as they knocked them down. "I knew it was a bad idea
not to take our bikes, I had a gut feeling some thing was going to happen."
"You always have a gut feeling, if you went by that you'd never leave
the damn score board." Vinnie said pulling some neat side kicks on
approaching goons.
Modo Stopped for a short moment as he saw a strange fighter off on the edge
of the brawl fighting Limburgers goons with effortless ease seeing she was
good and seeming to be helping he decided to get back to the task at hand,
keeping their tales alive.
"Wahooooo! We are so out numbered, when did being a hero get so fun.
One hundred to three!!"
"Vinnie, make that four, we got ourselves a guardian angel at your
11 o'clock," Modo corrected not even looking at Vinnie.
"Who...," Throttle over heard Modo and had stopped to see who
it was only to receive a goons fist to his head.
"Who ever she is leave her she's good," Vinnie said amazed and
kept on fighting.
A few minutes later Vinnie found him self struck down to the hard bitumen
road of the Chicago street by the strange young fighter. As he came to grips
with what just happened he saw the blonde girl laying on top of him. He
smirked at the situation, but it couldn't be seen for the helmet he wore
to hide appearance.
"You really should watch yourself mate," The girl said with a
serious look in her eyes as she scanned the fight. With a wink she rolled
off Vinnie onto the road, before jumping up into a sprint and swapping the
jette for the staff across her back and using it skillfully to knock down
some goons.
Vinnie sat up and looked around and a noticed a sniper on the corner of
the city block cursing at the fact he missed the perfect shot of Vinnie.
"Whoa,.." Vinnie said blankly as he rose to his feet and fired
his laser at some goons.
"Hey, Vinnie, who's the chic?" Throttle yelled from a couple of
meters away surrounded by a huge group of goons.
"No Idea bro, but she just saved my tail." Vinnie Answered just
standing there with nothing o do as all of Limburgers goons more or less
had gone to fight the stranger.
Throttle strolled over to Vinnie and to together walked casually over to
Modo who was now trying to pick a fight.
"She's good," The tall gray Martian man mentioned.
"In what context bro?" Asked Vinnie with a smirk, "She's
cute, for a human. Y0ou have to admit."
"True." The other two Martians said nodding in agreement.
By this time the girl had eliminated over half the goons and was still fighting
with a katana blade. After skillfully taking down five more she found her
self in a circle of goons each holding a laser no more then three inches
away from her head. She froze with a calm smirk looking directly down the
barrels of each of the lasers as turned in a circle to count how many goons
the were exactly. there was about 10, then she calmly spoke
"Quite the predicament, huh? Do I get any last words?" as she
did she raised an eyebrow Questioningly.
"Yeah, how about sionara!" spoke a goon smugly.
"O.K. sionara... dude." She said grinning widely the moment before
her plan began to work. Within a split second she dropped on to her back
and kicked the smug goon in the chest. with this unexpected commotion he
pulled the trigger. Starting a chain reaction of shots resulting in all
of the remaining goons dead, but the result of the weight of the goons knocked
the hero unconscious.
The biker mice gasped and sprinted over to where the goons lay.
"She got shot!" Modo sighed.
"Maybe we can still help her, She saved us didn't she," Vinnie
said moving aside some of the goons.
"She's not shot just unconscious!" Throttle exclaimed as her body
was uncovered. Throttle knelt down beside her checking her pulse and eyes,
"She's still breathing, but she's as cold as ice,"
"She must be, wearing that." Vinnie mumbled pointing to her clothes.
She wore a tight exercise top, blue cargo pants and a leather strap the
went around her waist an two that joined onto that and crossed over her
back, holding two jettes, a pair of nunchukus, two katana blades and a staff.
"We hafta take her to Charlie's I'm sure she wont mind," Modo
protested as he picked her up and began to walk back to the garage. Throttle
and Vinnie just followed.
"Charlie! Where do I put her?" Yelled Modo as he walked in the
door holding the stranger.
"What?, Who is she?" Charlie asked as she walked over to the tired
guys walking in the door.
"We have no Idea, but she saved our tails." Spoke Modo as he laid
her down on the couch.
"What do you mean, saved your tails?" Charlie asked beginning
to worry.
"Limburger knew where we were going and ambushed us, we were practically
defenseless, so much for a nice walk in Chicago these days," Throttle
said kneeling down by the girl taking her weapons off. "Who ever she
is, she was ready for a fight,"
"How did she get involved in the fight?" Charlie questioned.
"God knows, but she rugby tackled me to the ground and saved my tale
from one of Limburgers snipers," Answered Vinnie pondering the fact
he was dragged to the ground by a girl no more then 5'6''.
Modo began to ask Throttle while laying a blanket over the girl,
"How long do you thing she'll be out?"
"Could be an hour, could be a month I really couldn't tell at this
stage."
"Check it out, she's got a wallet." Exclaimed Vinnie pointing
to the pocket on her thigh.
"We're not that hard up for cash" Giggled Charlie sarcastically.
"Nah ID We could find out who she is,"
"It's more conventional then robbing her. Go ahead if you don't think
she'll mind." Charlie said as Vinnie removed the wallet.
Looking through it Vinnie spoke,
"Well her names Jesse something and she's from New York, She doesn't
carry much money and she has a thing for pizza companies."
"How did you get that?" asked Modo getting comfy on the old brownish
couch next to the sleeping girl.
"Well she has about twenty business cards here."
"Would you mind if she stayed in you spare room Charlie ma'am?"
Asked Modo.
"Yeah, It's not a good idea to keep her with us, she might freak,"
Said Vincent still flicking through the wallet.
"Sure, whatever," Charlie said unsure of what she was getting
her self into. "I'll just set up the bed." Charlie walked off
the get some sheets for the bed not long after she had finished making it
Modo carried the unconscious girl into the room and laid her down on the
bed where she lay still for the next five days, with occasional visits and
checks from her new friends.
Friday morning.
"Whats with the music," Vinnie moaned, twisting his face as
if a Pepi La Pew and walked past. "I do not remembered Charlie's taste
in music being this bad." The sounds of 'yummy, yummy' ran through
out the garage and most of the street too.
"Yeah and Charlie hates loud music!" Yelled Throttle trying to
get over the music.
The three bro's barked there bikes in the garage, took off their helmets
and walked into the kitchen to find the strange young girl who they had
come to know as Jesse dancing to that disastrous music and making what seemed
to be an omelet. Not to mention singing into the spatula.
"That's a nice butt." Modo whispered down to Throttle standing
next to him.
"Now that's an understatement if I ever heard one." Throttle just
gave a light hearted giggle to Vinnie interruption. Jesse continued to dance
and sing totally oblivious as to what was going on behind her until she
turned in time with the music and her simple 360 turned into a 540 to take
another look at the three Martians standing behind her. The guys froze knowing
the couldn't be seen by anyone but Charlie but soon relaxed after seeing
the girls reaction wasn't shocked. All four of searched around the room
with their eyes trying to avoid eye contact but as a sly smirk formed on
Jesse's face she spoke,
"Omelet, anyone?" This released the tension, you know, the kind
you get when you come across a alien species that had seen you singing into
the kitchen utensils.
"No thanks I'm fine," Throttle declined politely, "But thanks
Jesse," Jesse smiled slightly as her mind began to wander on to other
things like checking out the guys standing in front of her, and making it
obvious. "That is you name, isn't it?"
"yeah...." Jesse shook her head to get her thoughts strait, "It's
just no ones called me that for ages. Last time would have been around seven
years ago when my master died."
"Master?" Vinnie Questioned thinking the worst.
"Ninja master, I don't slave for no one." She turn off the stereo
to listen better.
"Oh....ninja?"
"Ancient Japanese martial art. You ain't heard of it?"
"Nah," Vinnie admitted furring his brow.
"Well any way that's what I do. I'm a shinobi ninja. Who are you? Schwatzneger,
Elvis and Who?"
"Funny," he said blankly but a little sarcastic, "I'm Throttle,
this big ol' lug here in Modo and that's Vinnie."
"The great." Vinnie added to the end of Throttles sentence.
"Oh, Vinnie Barberino, I loved your roll in 'Welcome Back Kotter'"
Vinnie just gave a childish glare at Wild Child's comment.
"So what do we call you, if not Jesse?" Modo returned to the subject.
"Wild Child, and I do live up to my name." She replied proudly
as she shoveled her breakfast onto a plate.
"Your not much of a child," Vinnie commented still annoyed from
the 'barbarino' remark.
"I am when you consider I've got another 230 years to live." She
spoke smuggle, she felt a kind of safety telling this sort personal secret
to these guys, who were practically strangers, because she didn't consider
them to be the sort to critersize her differences, seeing their appearance.
"What! 230? how old are you now?" Throttle said intrigued by this.
"Twenty." She replied while surching for a knife and fork.
"Top draw. Twenty, you look only fifteen, sixteen at the most."
Vinnie said forgetting about the earlier remark.
"Thanks." She mumbled chew on the omelet, "Yeah I get that
a lot. It's why I have trouble getting into night clubs, it shits me."
"Why 250 years?, I was under the impression you were human." Questioned
Throttle.
"Not entirely, but it's a long, complicated and boring story, and trust
me it's not some thing you want to hear about right now," she said
as pushed passed the guys and sat on the floor by the coffee table. The
three just followed her and sat on the couch on the other side of the table.
"Where'd Charlie go?" Vinnie finally noticed she wasn't there.
Wild Child replied slowly "She's the chick right?" with a nod
from Vinnie she went on. "She went to the shop to get food and some
other stuff, but I tuned out once I found the record collection she had
going, I thought I'd died and gone to hippie heaven!"
"You actually like that kind of music?" Throttle asked he seemed
to be convinced that music was only made to be laughed at.
"Yeah, it's so mindless it get you mind off the stresses of urban warfare
and the usual stuff."
"Speaking of urban warfare, what do you have to do with Limburger?"
Throttle got serious as he changed the subject.
"I was sent here by my dad, 'couse we heard that some weird shit was
going down, hear in Chicago. We managed to link it up with the dude that
ran the same kind of thing that I....well lets say I got mad, yet he was
the one that lost his head." She gave a wicked smile then continued,
"it wasn't one of my best work, but desperate times call for desperate
measures, Oh and I greatly appreciate you bringing me here. thanks, I owe
you one."
"You save us, we save you!" Throttle said as a way of thanking
her.
"So would one of you be able to take me home, once I'm finished here?"
"Sure, We'll help you around here if you want," Modo got up ready
to clean.
"Well you can start by Eating this if it appeals to you," She
spoke holding up the omelet, "It doesn't seem so nice now," the
three guys looked at each other pondering if they should take it or not.
"Yeah, I'll have it, sure you don't want it?" Vinnie asked not
moving his eyes from the omelet as if he expected it to disappear.
"Yes just take it." Wild Child practically threw the plate at
Vinnie.
They all started to clean mainly the kitchen where Jesse had been cooking.
Moments after they had finished and were all sitting on the couch, finding
out more about each other, Charlie arrived home with an arm full of groceries,
"Oh' so I see you've met the guys, hope they didn't scare you,"
"Nah, they're not much different to what I've grown up with, properly
even better,"
"What's to scare with this handsome face? and yeah, what did you grow
up with?"
"Same as you , mutants."
"There is nothing mutant about us!" Vinnie screamed almost getting
out of his seat to sort Wild Child out.
"Your not?" Wild Child looked Questioningly into each of there
eyes, "What then?"
"Martian." Throttle stuck out his chest sarcastically as he said
it.
"Cool. Sorry It's just my dad, Donny, my uncles, Mickey, Leo and Raph,
and splinter were all mutants so I figured that to be the only explanation
for you."
"So you half mutant?" Throttle asked, "What's mutant about
you? you certainly don't look mutant."
"Mutant what?" Vinnie Questioned
"Well I was lucky, It's all inside. I'm Poikiothermic and have a turtles
life span. the only physical difference it my teeth I have herbivore teeth,
no canines, witch is hardly noticeably any way. My dad and uncles were all
turtles originally, but my master Splinter was human but got mutated into
a rat."
"Rat? We have rats, much like us, but a whole lot greezier, back on
Mars." Modo added.
Throttle then asked looking at the clock, "So where do you live?"
"I don't know where from here, but it's not far from were the fight
was."
"Are you going already?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah, I don't want to get in you hair or any thing." Wild Child
said polity.
"Your welcome to stay, I don't mind,"
"I have den I have to get back to, thanks though."
"Wanna go now?" Throttle Asked gesturing to the garage.
"Sure," She slowly stood up, "Well thanks for your hospitality,"
"Any time." Charlie said as they all got up and walked to the
garage. As Throttle opened the door to the garage Wild Child fell to her
knees and her jaw almost hit the ground at the sight of the three most beautiful
bikes she had ever seen.
"So you like bikes huh?" Vinnie spoke from behind her left shoulder.
"Like, more like love!" She practically shouted in her excitement.
"My uncle, Raph, taught me how to put them together when I was three,
since then I've always loved them,"
"This is my sweetheart," Vinnie said smugly as he strutted toward
his bike, then began to stroke the handle bars affectionately, yet in a
tough way.
"It's beautiful, I give you that. Powerful?" She asked now examining
the engine. But with the touch of the stranger the bike edged away in a
single jerk. "Super computers? What next."
"These bikes are beyond human technology, and yes, top line Martian
computers, jets, armor, ammo and use very little fuel." Throttle added
mounting onto his bike.
"Definitely a mouse's best friend," spoke Mood as he started up
the engine.
"Well lets go, I wanna see how these guys ride." WildChild said
as she took Vinnie's invited and jumped on the back of his bike and put
on the helmet he passed her.
With all riders ready the three bikes screamed down the street and rode
to the scene of last weeks fight, where Wild Child saved there tales, and
from there WC (Wild Child) showed them the way to her home.
"Just here mate," Vinnie pulled over to the side of the road as
WC dismounted and took the helmet off. The street was long and silent only
the occasional beat up car drove past, old apartment buildings ran the way
down the road on both sides, and an occasional flickering of a fluresant
sign of a dinner across the road. "Thanks again for helping me."
"No worries, I ain't the kind of guy to admit this stuff, but we needed
you, we were losing badly, Thank you." He said in a quiet whisper leaning
forward so that only Jesse could here him.
"Well you know where I live, if ever you need me come and get me. I'll
be more then happy to humiliate you again," She reach forward and shook
Vinnie's hand with a firm grip, then Throttle and Modo's who were standing
next to Vinnie. "Well if you'd move your bike I'll go home,"
"Wha..." Vinnie looked puzzled as he looked down to the ground
below him and his bike, when he only saw a gruby man hole he just laughed.
"Seriously, I can't get into home if your parked on my front door."
"You live in the sewer?" Throttle asked amazed.
"You got it Einstein!" She said in the most sarcastic voice he'd
ever heard. Vinnie moved his bike a couple of meters as Wild Child shifted
the man hole.
"If you live here, why don't you come live with us? It's not much better,
I'm mean it's just a score board, but at least you'll have company and we
could do with your help," Throttle suggested.
"I've lived in the sewer for twenty years, I'll be fine,"
"We'd love you to come, sincerely."
Jesse looked at each of them and pondered for a moment then spoke, "Well,
I'm up for it if every one else is?"
"Yeah." "Sure." Vinnie and Modo insisted.
"Well, I'll get my stuff," She said as she effortlessly jumped
down the man hole, followed by Throttle then Vinnie, Modo stayed on street
level to keep a look out. The sewer looked cold and damp, the only light
came from the open man hole, but didn't reflect off the slimy stone walls
well at all. Across the black floor there was the occasional puddle and
even a dead rat laying by a step where one of for long, black, haunting
tunnels joined into the make shift home.
"Nice place you have here," Vinnie announced as he scanned over
the mattress in the corner with a few old dirty blanket and a new looking
punching bag hanging from the roof while stepping over a few scattered belongings
on the sewer floor.
"It's not that good now, I know, but once I got settled in and was
sure it was safe I was going to fix it up, our place in New York was pretty
groovy," While she said this she vigorously stuffed some clothed and
weaponry into a bag and slumped an acoustic guitar an a finely woven, hemp
guitar case over her shoulder. "I'm ready,"
"Don't you want the punching bag?" Vinnie asked slamming his fist
into it.
"Nah, it's crapy, to soft. It'll brake at the rate I'll use it, I'm
getting another."
Jesse threw the pack up through the man hole where Modo caught it and slung
it on his shoulder, Jesse climbed out and helped Vinnie and Throttle up
and out, and still with the guitar on here back they headed to the score
board.
"Welcome to our humble home," Modo said as he opened the door
for WildChild. As she entered she had to step over old cans of root beer
and some thing else that she didn't even know what, or want to either.
"Ahh, a bachelor pad," She said nudging Modo, "Don't expect
me to do any cleaning,"
Then Throttle joked, "Well you can just go back to the sewer then,"
"So, where do I sleep?"
"Don't even say it Vinnie," Throttle warned. "We have a spare
bed, it's not much, or I'll sleep there and you can sleep in mine?"
"I'll be fine there, as long as I can make some way to control the
rooms temperature,"
"Why," Modo asked.
" Like I said, I'm piokiothurmic, my body temperature is always the
same as the air around me. If I get too cold I pass out, if my pulse drops
below some thing like seven beats a minute I die. That's my, one and only,
Achilles heal, but I always carry a shot of adrenaline with me incase. It
can actually be an advantage, I don't complain about the cold and I don't
get picked up by heat censers."
"So that's why you always feel so cold?" Modo asked. Jesse just
nodded.
Jesse dumped her stuff beside an old mattress on the floor and walked back
out to where they where sitting, As she entered she caught the root beer
that was thrown at her by Modo and began to tap the top the can to get rid
of the fizz as she took a seat, "Seeing that I'll be fighting with
you, I have to learn the way you guys work. Like following orders or every
man, sorry, mouse for himself?"
"All for one and one for all." Throttle answered calmly while
wiping the root beer from his chin.
"How do you fight? Do you study a martial art?" She asked expecting
a yes.
"Freedom Fighter style, our bikes and guns are our main weapons, But
we can fight pretty well with our fists." Throttle spoke in a 'business
man' tone.
"Well, I'll fight you some time, see who methods are better,"
She said smuggle.
"Sorry wouldn't want to hurt you, lil' lady," Vinnie answered.
"Beat me? Me? WildChild ruler of the under ground, illegal, fighting
ring of New York? I'll whoop your ass right now," Jesse got up out
of seat and gestured Vinnie to come to, he looked at Throttle and Modo,
then followed her. "The rules are: No groin, No foreign objects just
fist and the rest and stop and each others word. First one the stop the
fight looses or first one unconscious looses, 'K?"
"Yeah, but you just signed your death warrant." Vinnie said rolling
up the sleeves he didn't have.
"Don't speak to soon boy. Oh, and no disappearing."
"Disappearing?" Vinnie's jaw dropped.
"Just a little trick of mine. Well lets fight?"
"Yeah, your on."
The two circle each other with fists ready, Jesse took the first swipe.
Vinnie dodged it and threw his fist back at her, she caught his wrist with
her right hand and placed her left hand between his right hip and ribs and
threw up and over her head, and he landed on the floor to right, winded
and gasping for breath. she whispered down to him, "I win," She
then helped him up and pushed the dirt off him and asked, "You 'right?"
Vinnie just grunted an embarrassment, "Don't take it to hard, I beat
every one, You're actually pretty good."
"I didn't even get one punch in," Vinnie argued, doubting him
self.
"It's the way you did it, and your not aggressive, that's some thing
I'm yet to learn,"
At this point they relized Throttle and Modo were in hysterics laughing.
Then to prevent Vinnie's pride being hurt further Jesse snapped, "Don't
laugh guys, I can beat you to," and sure enough they shut the hell
up like naughty school kids. As Vinnie turned to her and gave her a thankful
look she winked at him is the same way she did when she saved him from the
sniper. She then casually brushed her long, blond hair out of her face and
again took her seat.
"So why do you fight those guys?" She asked as if the fight didn't
happen.
"Well they attacked Mars to steel the resources a couple years ago,
and we were fighting for a rebel army, the Freedom Fighters, then one day
we were fighting and we happened to crash here in Chicago, that's when we
found out that this was the plutakians next target. Then we got aquatinted
with Chi-towns head cheese, Limburger, and decided to stay and fight here,"
"I hate that Limburger dude. I was in his office, or air vent above
his office more like, a week or so ago, and he's so arrogant, and he reaks
of god-knows-what."
"You were in the air vent?" Modo asked, seeming amazed.
"Did you find any thing out?" Throttle insisted.
"Absolutely nothing, The dude just sat there eating worms for five
hours. I could barely walk after that, but while I was staggering back down
the street that damn tower calapsed, would you have had anything to do with
that, would you?"
The three looked at each other then shared a proud laugh. "It's a tradition,
after we foil their plans, we total the tower. It's fun, you should try
it some time," Throttle laughed, still trying to get over it.
Wild Child half smiled, pulled here chair out and placed her feet on the
table, " how many times have you totaled the tower?"
"Countless, it's the best part" Modo bragged.
"So do you ever attempt to end this once and for all?" Jesse said
in shock.
"It's harder then it looks." Throttle spoke, "We get close
but, never that close."
"I killed BV Edem within 6 months of him invading New York, it was
in a room full of all his guards, right in front of them. I wasn't the least
bit hard."
"Remind me never to get on you bad side." Vinnie Commented.
"And Limburgers' goons are less than half as good as BVs' are, I mean
were."
"My gray furred mumma told my never to kill in cold blood,"
"My mother was killed in cold blood, and almost me to,"
"I'm sorry," Modo spoke softly.
"Why are you apologizing, I never met her. She died giving birth, 20
years ago. She was beaten up real bad by The Foot 2 days before i was born,
she was too weak to suvive child birth."
The guys look puzzled but the subject was quickly changed.
"So have you any ideas as to how to heat that room yet," Throttle
asked.
"Walk around naked..." she mumbled under her breath, "No,
not yet, I'll think of something, inheriting my smarts from my dad do come
in handy."
"Hey let's get some food, I'm starved." Vinnie said in a whining
voice.
"Yeah, me too, how about we try that new looking hot dog stand on the
corner?" Modo Added.
"Nah, I'm saying, marshmallows, choc chips and spaghetti on pizza!"
Jesse smiled, "Hey, I'm a turtle, I grew up on this stuff."
This is not the end, only the begining of the "WILD CHILD SAGA".
Do you know Wild Child well enought from this story? Are there any crontradictions
in it? Any thing? Please tell me.
