#4 of Ratchet and Clank: Time After Time


This story takes place after the events of Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time

I do not own Ratchet and Clank. All rights, characters, and locations that were used in the franchise belong to insomniac games. Anything new that has not appeared before is © of me.

(Ratchet and Blade are leaned up against the corridors wall while Ratchet finishes talking about the lombaxes, Clank, Tachyon, Kaden, Alister, and his ruined home world. Long night.)

"So, that's basically what I have to say, I'm kinda in the same position, um, not having a family, or a true home world. But there is a slim hope for another home world, and you can come with. If I get the chance for a new family, then you deserve one too. I can truly say that i've felt the same pain that you're feeling now Blade, and i'll help you through it, if you'll let me."

"Wow, Ratchet I don't know what else to say, but, thank you; and, i'm sorry I made you live through all of that again."

"It's fine, you needed to hear it."

"Well, now that we're cool again, what now?"

"It may be space and all, but we need some sleep. Yawn."

Just then, Talwyn and Clank showed up at the end of the hallway. "Hey guys, you guys done?" said Talwyn.

"Yeah," said Ratchet, "we're done. Ya got another bed for my friend to crash?"

"Sure, i'll show you." said Talwyn. They walked down the corridors toward the room.

"Who's she again Ratchet?" whispered Blade.

"Max Apogee's daughter, Talwyn. And, as you've probably noticed the robot is Clank." Ratchet whispered back. They came to Ratchet's room with the 4800.

"Here we are. G'night guys."

"Wait," said Blade, "Where's my bed?" She pointed at the floating bed near the top of the vaulted ceiling.

"Oh, typical, the bat gets the bed on the ceiling."

"I'm sorry Blade! Cronk, Zephyr!"

"Relax Talwyn, I was kidding. g'night."

"Oh, okay g'night guys." Blade flew up to his bed on the ceiling, and Ratchet went to his. Clank powered down into sleep mode.

"Hey, Ratchet." Blade yelled down.

"Yeah?"

"What's your plan to find the Lombaxes anyway?"

"I guess, my plan is that I find Max Apogee. He was a famous explorer and a Lombax historian. From what i've pieced together I figure that for Max to have found the demontionator, my father must have trusted it with him. So, before you showed up we were gonna head over to Jasindu to talk with Ambassador Bugo to find out where he went."

"Well i'll come with you."

"Nah you gotta stay here, it's too dangerous for people who haven't seen battle."

"I can handle, Ratchet, I was a tough enough opponent for you earlier. Besides i've got my own weapons too." he said looking at the blades in his wrists. "(,and I don't even know how I got them)" he thought.

Short, rushed chapter, I know I just had to set it up a little, the next one will be longer.
