Zurkie's Gastropub and Battleplex... (3rd Person POV)

After defeating Pierre and his crew, our Lombax heroes make their way back into Zurkie's. Finding an empty table away from the crowd, Y/n and Rivet place the two robots down it. The two then sit down on either side of the table as Rivet was humming the tune of one of the Michael Jackson songs Y/n had played earlier, which he found adorable.

Y/n: "Alright, buddy. Time to fix you up, but I gotta put you into recharge mode first, 'kay?"

Byte barks and Y/n nods. He presses the blue orb in his chest and then turns it counterclockwise, making Byte go limp. He then turns him around and opens a panel on his back. Rivet pulls down a panel on Clank's chest and inserts the signal booster into him. Clank laughs and giggles, feeling as if he was getting tickled. However, he soon stops when Rivet gives him a look. She then goes back to work before she's finally done.

Rivet: "Eureka, she's done it."

Y/n: "Done already? Good job, hot stuff."

Rivet blushes a bit, but smiles at the compliment as Y/n pulls out Byte's broken voice box. He sets it aside and goes to carefully put the new one in. Then Clank presses a button on his chest and turns on his comms.

Clank: "Ratchet? Can you hear me?"

It took a moment as the three all awaited in anticipation. Then a voice calls out from the other end.

Ratchet: *through comms* "Ratchet! Are you okay? Where are you?! I saw those Lombaxes take you--"

Clank: "I am fine. In fact, I am with the Lombaxes now."

Rivet: *nervously* "Hey, I'm Rivet!"

Y/n: "Yo. I'm Y/n."

Ratchet: *through comms* "Wha--? Hi! Wow, this is-- Wait, okay. I have to tell you something!"

Y/n: "Go ahead."

Y/n says as he gets zapped by the circuitry inside Byte.

Ratchet: *through comms* "Dr. Nefarious just crowned himself Emperor of this dimension."

Y/n: "No way!"

Rivet: "He did what?! Nooo, no, no. I've got my hands full with my own Nefarious."

Ratchet: *through comms* "That's the thing. We've gotta get him and us out of here, but without the Dimensionator..."

Clank: "I think we have to build a new one."

Y/n: "Seriously? Always wanted to create a device that can travel dimensions!"

Rivet and Ratchet: "That's a very specific goal."

Y/n: "Which are easy to manage. Now, continue please."

Y/n motions for them to continue as he finally places the voice box inside Byte.

Clank: "Me and Byte met a prophet from Savali named Gary. He would know what to do."

Ratchet: *through comms* "I'm only a few sectors away from there. I can go check it out."

Rivet: "What can we do?"
