Ratchet and Clank: Love That is a Rift Apart (COMPLETED) ✔️

Chapter 15: The Standoff.

"Clank...."

A surge of shock and horror of what his friend has become went though Ratchet's body as more and more robots surrounded them. Lincoln crouched down in intense fear. Rivet was not afraid at all, she just stared at the robots with a large glare stretched across your face. But they all knew that their was too many of them, so they, including Rivet, puts their hands up, surrendering, as the robots behind them rudely shoved them forward.

Meanwhile....

Cleo and Jackson we're looking out the window at the battle happening outside. Jackson was completely confused since he didn't see his ex and her new boyfriend anywhere in the battlefield, but Cleo I knew exactly where they are.

Then all the sudden, The door burst open as the robot guards took in their four captives. Cleo nearly hissed when she saw the site of her brother with the lombaxes and the robot girl, but she knew that he wouldn't be here for long.

"Dr. Nefarious....." Ratchet growled from the sight of his old nemesis smiling mischievously at him.

"Cleo...." Lincoln sneered at his sister, trying his very best to hide the fear in his voice, but he knew he was failing.

"Jackson!" Rivet hissed, being the most angry and bold out of the four.

Kit just stayed silent. She only looked at clank, shocked from the monster he had become.

"Well Well Well!" Cleo purred, padding towards her brother and the two angry lombaxes, "it's so "nice" to see you guys again. You guys look like you're hot from A chilli pepper."

She then turns to Rivet, "and speaking of heat, it seems that you brought your new lover." She said, grasping Rivet from under her chin to take a good look at her, "I got to say, You chose a good one. A blue-eye albino lombax with a couple scars on her, a prosthetic arm, and a......raccoon tail. Hm.....how strange. I thought only males had tails."

When she said that, Rivet took her a chance to show that she was offended by that comment by biting Cleo in the hand. Cleo pulled away, yelping in pain. Light blue blood used out of Cleo's hand as she looks at Rivet Who had a bit of the blood on the corner of her lip and was showing a bit of her canines.

"And she's feisty as well." Cleo purred once again, "Like you honey...."

"Don't. Call me. Honey..." Ratchet growled, "You lost that privilege Cleo!"

"What did I ever do do you?" Cleo spoke very "innocently", "You're the one who broke up with me!"

"And you're the one who almost killed him!" Rivet spat, "you're the one who threw the crystals at him and left him to die in the river!"

"River?" Cleo echoed, turning to her, "when did he fell in the river? how do you know?"

"because I was the one who scrappin' saved him...." Rivet replied coldly, "And I swear to the galaxy, as soon as we get out of this rut where in, I'm gonna come after you and punch those little kitten teeth so far down your throat, you need to stick toothbrush up under your tail to brush them!"

Cleo stared coldly back at her before quickly cuffing her in the face, her claws fully extended. Blood splattered on the floor as Rivet grunts in pain and grasps her injured eye. She pants before leg sweeping Cleo, causing the psychotic Kraetsiz to stumble on the ground with a thud. They gave Rivet the chance to tackle her and land a few punches to her face.
