[Clank]

[Error! <Foreign Object> Is Attempting To Connect!]

Clank was restless....tossing and turning and sitting up to process things all in the span of a few hours. His systems refused to fully start up and it seemed like he was in an endless cycle of nightmares.

[Error! <Foreign Object> Unable To Connect!]

He had 5 months...how many days? Seconds?

...

No...no longer 5 months....how much time did he have?

...

[Error! <Foreign Object> Attempting To Connect!]

The chip...The chip...If removed he could...

It would...

Corrupt his systems.

Kill him.

Change him.

...

He threw the covers off him as he flailed in sleep. His breaths became rapid as the overflow of sensations and emotions assaulted his senses.

Time....how much time!?

How much-

"Clank?"

He paused, watching one of his Memory Bank Files open up. This is something that hasn't happened in a while, let alone on its own accord. He wondered why it was opening but he was soon immersed in the memory...

Ratchet laid against the cold, stone wall...

(Wait...this wasn't a memory....he didn't remember this!)

His head was lolled to the side as he stared at Clank, face void of emotion. Clank felt himself freeze up at the unfamiliar gaze-

"Why did you leave me?"

Clank tilted his head, "W-What do you mean?" he asked, trying to figure out what was going on-

[Error! <Foregin Object> Connecting. . .]

Ratchet coughed, a splatter of red painted his chest but before Clank could even reach forward, he spoke-

"You ran out of time."

*Gasp*

Clank sucked in a deep breath as he sat up, optics finally opening fully as his body released him from his internal prison. He looked around the dark room in fear of what was to come-

[Connected!]

Time Remaining : Pending. . .

He stood up then, grasping his head in both disbelief and pain. The back of his neck twinged in pain at every breath.

Pending....
