Throttle made his way down to the lower decks where the repair shuttles moved between the two space ships. He wasn't going to give Mace a chance to get away again. But at the same time, Harley was already found, Mace would just be hanged for the fun of it. And escape. Like he always had, until now.

Putting on a space suit, he waited for the next crew to ready, he slipped onto the shuttle.

"Left something over there?" One of the techies asked Throttle.

"Yeah My boy thinks he left a stuffed toy or something. I have to make an effort." he shrugged smirking.

"I hear that." The techie laughed as the shuttle started to departed for the smaller Duo Scythe still being towed.

Once docked and sealed against the Duo Scythe's bay doors. The crew of Repair technicians and Throttle left the small shuttle and the tired techies getting off their shift got onto the shuttle they just came off of.

Keeping the space suit on until they reached the hallway. Throttle peeled it off as did the rest of the technicians.

"We have life support to all the areas of the ship again, the outer hull is sealed, its now just enforcing it all and repair the interior damage." A pink female feline smiled. "Throttle right?" She addressed the new group and the mouse.

"Yeah, my son might have left a toy on board... " He shrugged.

"Fatherly duties, go ahead stay away from our work zones." Dee Dee warned.

"Will do." He smiled heading away from the way the decks where the repair techies worked. Heading first to the quarters that Riff and Lee had been in, he checked around for any toys, just in case he needed to use the rouse longer. Picking up some stuffed long necked dog of sorts. Throttle headed down to the lower decks of the ship. To the brig.

The lights were off to save power. The life support on, and a glow of emergency lights was the only thing that followed the tawny biker mouse into the stark hallway. Turning into the cell room he was greeted with more red glow. This time from lights and the electric bars surrounding the rat inside.

"Well, this is a surprise. I heard you survived." Mace greeted with a thin smile and angry eyes.

"Yeah isn't it?" Throttle growled through clenched teeth.

"Awww that for me? You shouldn't have." Mace mocked. "Seriously you shouldn't have you bitch." He snarled.

"Shove it Mace." Throttle growled not realizing how much hatred was inside him aimed at the one rat before him. "We're heading to Mars, again. For your so called fair trial."

"Oh fair?" Mace smiled slyly. "Isn't that nice. I'll bribe my way off the hook yet again." He shrugged easily.

"No no... you're not going to get to Mars." Throttle snarled dropping the toy. He reached behind him under the jacket, under the baggy sweat top.

"Oh? You got a whip behind ya?" Mace hummed. "Turning the tables and going to rape me like I did so many times to you? Hrmmm?" He purred in a teasing tone.

"No." Throttle growled showing his gun to Mace and aiming it. "I'm ending it all. And I won't regret this. You hurt Vinnie, you hurt Harley, you hurt me. I don't give a shit about myself but my family? My friends? Yeah.., that just pissed me off."

Mace's eyes widened as he realized just what was about to happen.

Dee Dee raised her head, her pink ears flicking. "Did you hear something?" She asked a crew member beside her.

"Huh?" He looked at her oblivious, and then over his shoulder. "No, what?"

She shook her head. "I don't know, something metal echoing."

"Could be that mouse looking for his kids toy." The crew member suggested.

"Could be." She hummed. "I'm going to take a look." Leaving the repair crew to do their job, she searched out the mouse.

Throttle walked up the hallway, having left the gun at the scene of the cold blooded revenge shooting. He carried the funny looking toy. "Dee Dee?" he called to the female feline Ikkywarian.

"There you are? I thought I heard a bang." She smiled relived he was in once piece.

"Yeah, I had a little spat with a door." Throttle smirked sheepishly. "Sorry if I worried you."

"Not at all, come on the next shuttle will be by in an hour." She turned around heading back to her crew. Throttle following in her wake with a bounce in his step.

Vinnie caught up with his bros. Mars in the sight of the large war ship. "So, we're about to go home. What do ya think we should do first?" He asked with a grin.

"Go home." Throttle stated. "I want a nice warm bath, with nice fake water, in a nice small tub with no one bothering me for hours and hours and hours."

"That's not what I expected from you bro." Modo blinked his one good eye at the tawny bro.

"Sometimes we're just full of surprises. How about you big guy?" Throttle asked leaning against the wall in the hallway.

"Go home with Charley and the baby. See momma." Modo smiled misty eyed. "Vincent?"

"Get checked for a rash." Vinnie grinned. "Guess I over did it with the pretty babes." He shrugged.

"Nice...." Throttle shook his head holding back a chuckle.

"Not really.. it's kind of itchy and scaly now." Vinnie grumbled.

"I don't need the details Vincent." Throttle grumbled. "I best go check on Rif, make sure he's not doing too much damage to the infirm." He pushed off the wall.

"Visit us when we land Throttle." Modo called after the tawny's back.

"You know we will." Throttle called back with a wave.

"He seems... I dunno... happy?" Charley came up behind Modo wrapping her arms around his big middle.

"Yeah. Yeah he does. I wonder why." The big gray mouse hummed turning to smile at his wife.

The foggy glazed eyes of a rat encased in red lights laid in a pool of congealing blood on the floor of the Duo Scythe. Not to be discovered for three more days.

The End.
