Wars Are Won By Those Who Dare: Shatter Your Illusions
"Now this just reeks!"
Charley looked up from the carburetor she was working on to see Throttle crushing the morning paper in his fist. "I didn't have a chance to read that yet. A paying customer showed up first."
Throttle either didn't hear her or ignored her, for he chunked the stick of newsprint into the garbage can.
"This is why I don't bother with current events." Vinnie pulled two cards from his hand and drew two more from the stack. "You get all hot and bothered by it but there's nothing you can do about it."
Summary: Limburger is scheming, the Biker Mice are thwarting, and a new player is riding into Chicago--on a Martian bike. What do you believe and who can you trust?
Shatter Your Illusions started off as a much shorter story called Jack-of-all-Trades in 1994, back when Biker Mice From Mars was still on the air. In Jack, I introduced the character Tala who delivered the news to the Biker Mice that Carbine was dead. She ferried them to Mars, helped them solve Carbine's murder, and brought them back to Earth. And Vinnie fell for her hard. I finished the story and its sequel, Reunions, for my own amusement.
Fast forward to the year 2000. Surfing the Net one day, I stumbled across The Unofficial Biker Mice From Mars Fan Club's site. Hurray! I wasn't the only gal in love with the furry trio! And it seemed like everyone had tried their hand at Biker Mice fanfics. I was inspired (that's putting it mildly). I pulled out Jack and made a face; the six-years-old story needed a lot of help. Major overhaul work. But all in all, it was a fast rewrite of what turned out to be the first story of a series that will span a large chunk of the fandom universes I have written stories for. I hope you enjoy this story and the rest of the series.
