Two Destines one Soul Chapter 7 FIN, a great mouse detective fanfic

Dan saw the sight in front of him…his love…gone and held in the jaws of this…this BEAST!

Ratigan tossed Erika's body aside and walked closer to what was left of the group.

Dan couldn't take his eyes off the sight of his love…deep pain and hate!? Flooded his body….no one had a chance to react when suddenly!

'SNAP!'

Dan clamped on to Ratigan sinking his jaws into the rat's neck with no mercury.

Ratigan shouted in pain and clawed at Dan drawing blood from his back and face, but the young mouse didn't flinch. Deeper his teeth sank gashing more blood from the rat.

Wrika and Carline watched in horror but knew this was the time to move Basil away.

Ratigan saw the girls moving Basil and tried to leap at him, but Dan held him in place. At last Ratigan removed Dan from his neck but before he could move any more Dan leaped back at him.

Both went into a true rodent fight. Growls, teeth, claws, all came flying at once, tails and fur up on a fritz.

Basil was breathing hard but was breathless at the sight. Who knew such a kid could hold such power?

Ratigan bit into Dan's back and flew in him across the room, but Dan was already numb…noting in him felt pain anymore…he had a drive-and that drive was determined to kill the one who killed his love.

"We have to do something, he'll get himself killed, or he'll change the future by killing Ratigan." Wrika remarked.

"I know. But what can we do?" Carline answered.

Wrika then got a vision. "Carline! There are cops, right above us! Your faster, go up there and get them down here!"

"But what about…"

"GO!" Carline jumped at her friends words and ran out of the sewer.

Dan and Ratigan were now both a frightful mess, blood covered the floor and fur was missing in different spots on each of them.

"Give it up MOUSE! You're no match against me."

"I beg to differ, mice can take down RATs just as much." He barked back.

The word Rat set Ratigan off again. Both kept at each other drawing more blood and fur.

"Put your paws in the air!" yelled a mans voice.

Both Ratigan and Dan stopped in there tracks.

Before anymore words could be said Ratigan took off. The cops right on his tail.

Dan went to chase after him but Carline stopped him. "No Dan let him go."

"He killed Erika! I'll never let him go!" he snapped back, Carline grabbed onto his arm.

"Dan please listen to me."

"No!"

"Dang it Dan listen!"

Dan pulled harder but Carline refused to let go.

"I'll kill him!"

"Dan! She'll be ok! I swear!"

"She's dead Carline!" he yelled.

"Dan! Basil's not!"

"So!" he yelled again.

Both were yelling so loud every one could hear.

"His her grandfather! In this time she's not born yet! So she's still live!"

The room had gone quit….Dan stopped struggling. It sank in.

Basil's eyes grew wide…but knew now was not the time to expand on it.

Some more cops came down, "You ok there buddy?" a cop asked helping Dan up. "You must have some guts to attack a rat like him on your own like that."

Dan looked over where Erika's body was and saw it was gone…smears of blood indicated that the 'Cat' hidden away somewhere down there had took her away. It tore him apart in side.

Dan didn't say much and allowed the cop to help him and his friends out of the underground hell and back to the surface.

After each of them were cleaned up and bandaged they were free to go home; which was back at Basil's house.

"Thank you, I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for you kids."

"We just glad your okay." Wrika replied. Basil couldn't help him self he swiftly gave Carline and Wrika a hug, but quickly grew wide-eyed and pulled away from them looking at Wrika his face quickly turning red.

"I...am….so sorry…I guess my detective skills need a bit more work."

Wrika laughed slightly, "Its okay, I get mice confusing me as a boy all the time, I'm use to it, and honestly it doesn't bug me." but Basil was still embarrassed in thinking Wrika was a male the whole time.

Dan walked up to Basil and got in turn in a hug in.

Basil smiled sitting in his good chair. "I'm glad Ratigan is safe behind bars, but now I have a question…" the teens thou still not in the best of shape had a feeling what was about to be asked and prepared them selves to answer.

"Erika is my….granddaughter?"

Dan rubbed his arms uneasily he was about to say something but was relived when Wrika spoke up first.

"Truth is Basil, we can't give you any more information…you weren't even suppose to find out." She brought her voice down to a whisper as she as the last part.

Basil, giving a puzzled look slowly pushed the subject aside.

"I don't know chaps, I don't for see my self getting hitched." He grinned hoping one of them would spill the words he now wanted to here; but the teens didn't to his disappointment.

After a moment of silence Basil stood up.

"So I would assume you guys are ready to head back home about now am I right?" he asked with a smile.

All of them stared at the detective as if he had lost his mind…or was hiding the fact he was a magician.

"Don't tell me you know how to get us home…" Dan stated stunned.

Basil just grabbed his hurt arm and smirked. "I found out how when Wrika made all those instruments appear and the power behind them."

The teens went wide eyed.

"Follow me." Basil said limping to his back door that would lead them to the house of the human living near by.

The teens followed close and became amazed at the view; never had any of them ever seen a humans place before.

The lights were off when they entered.

"Toby…" Basil called out still babying his wounds.

In a matter of moments Toby was standing before them.

"Dose this mean another joyride on the hound?" Dan asked rubbing his hurt lag indicating he wouldn't be too fond of that.

Basil shook his head. "No, don't worry no rides, we just need him to help reach."

The teens looked at up beyond him, "Reach what?" Carline asked.

"The book case." Basil said once he realized pointing wasn't going to work due to the pain in caused.

Smiling a bit the others slowly followed Basil climbing on Toby and traveling to the book case.

Toby lifted them willingly happy he was useful.

Once they got to the case of books Basil went snooping around looking for what the teens would imagine to be the way out.

"Umm…I know its—here-somewhere." Basil said mostly to himself feeling pain in his body but keeping it at bay as long as he could.

Dan sat at the edge of the case and started to tear up, he really wanted Erika with him; even thou he knew she was still alive in there time, he just couldn't grasp what he had seen, the image of his love being killed like that just ate at him.

"Aw, here it is…" Basil said at last. He pulled out a mouse size book that was hiding with in the human size ones and other mice sized ones.

All of them gathered around to take a better look at it, and to figure out why Basil needed it.

"With the powers Wrika posses and the skill you have as a band gives me no doubt this book's magic songs will get you back to your rightful time." Basil briefly explained his reasoning.

Dan wrinkled his nose a bit, "But if this is jammed full of 'magic songs'" he said using his fingers to indicate quoits, "then how do we know which one to play to get home? I mean how do we know it take us somewhere else?"

Basil flicked his tail, "That part you guys are going to have to find out on your own, but I have faith in you three, you'll figure it out."

Wrika extended her paw and Basil handed her the book. Studying the odd blue paper back book Wrika blinked surprised.

"This one." She said pointing to a song in the middle of the book.

"Give me your eyes?" Carline remarked reading the songs title, "How do you know?"

"Well think about it…this trip has been a lesson for all of us…we have grown as a band." She looked over at Basil, "And you as a person."

Basil's face started to glow a little but not as much as her friends knowing she was right.

"And best part…we don't need anything but our voices." She added running her thin finger over the pages words.

"So this is it?" Carline said more in an asking tone.

Basil and Dan nodded not realizing they did it together.

"Well then…" Wrika began, "let's go home…"

"And keep Erika from worrying." Dan added mostly to help himself feel better about her not being there.

Carline playfully nodded.

"Well this is goodbye." Wrika said smiling at Basil.

"Yes. I'll never forget what you all have done for me." Basil replied waving weakly.

The teens smiled weakly as Wrika lad the book at there feet so they all could see and read it.

"Ready?" She asked. Dan and Carline nodded. "Why don't you start us off?" she said looking at Dan.

He quickly took up the offer and focused on the first lyric. As the words came out his lips he could swear he could really feel and hear the beat, as did the others.

"Looked down from a broken sky, traced out by the city lights my world from a mile high best sit in the house tonight.

Touched down on the cold black top, hold on for the sudden stop; breath in the familiar shock of confusion and chaos.

All those people going somewhere, why have I never cared?"

Wrika and Carline joined in with the chorus.

"Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
Ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see"
"Yeah"

Dan took the lead once again,

"Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work
He's buying time
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?"

As the song went on a circle of light wrapped around them in a warming glow.

Both Dan and Wrika took over while Carline started in the background lyrics.

"I've Been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance"
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all along"

(Background sang by Carline)

"Give me your eyes!

Lord, give me your eyes!

Everything, I keep missing

Give me your arms!

For the broken hearted!

Give me your arms,

Lord, give me your eyes!"

(Dan & Wrika)

In a blink of an eye they waved there last good byes and vanished.

###########################################

Back where they began Dan, Carline, and Wrika blinked not fully believing they were home.

Once focused Dan quickly looked around of Erika who he found much to his hearts relief appear near the drum set.

"Erika!" he cried joyfully.

Erika looked up after being temporally stunned and saw her friends.

"Dan!" she quickly ran into his arms.

"What about us? You happy to see us to? 'cause we missed you." Carline smirked.

"Of courses I did" Erika said smiling back at her friends.

All of them hugged grateful to be home and alive.

Just then they heard the door open.

"Kids, it lunch time if any of you are hungry." Erika's mom said before going back into the house.

The teens just looked at each other oddly then laughed not being able to help it.

"So think we should get back to practicing before the concert? Erika asked.

Wrika and Carline looked at each other then threw on arm over Erika playfully, "Nah, we're already perfect." Wrika stated and the four of them shared in another giggle and walked into the house ready for a good long rest and snack.
