Really a Lombax? (Ratchet and Clank Oc DISCONTINUED)

.~*Quest for booty (2)*~.

Here we are. Hoolefar Island.  After years I'm finally home. But, is this actually my home? Or even..no, we ain't talking about that. To be honest, this place hasn't changed a bit. I could see him..what was his name..Ah, Worley. He was talking to someone inside a small cave..Is that..Ratchet with the Markazian? Yes, no doubt. Where here to pick them up anyway, so they should get their ass moving.

.~*🤎💛Ratchet's pov💛🤎*~.

Just as Worley stopped reading Darkwater's diary to us, Talwyn got a signal. And it was pretty much Rusty Pete, I could tell that by the voice and the hiccups. Well, he was the one that send us here, so I guess we will get our explanation now. I just hope we don't have to meet..her. Believe me, I really don't want to.

When we got out of the cave, we saw Rusty Pete, unsurprisingly Kiria. But I'm here only for the explanation why we're here. And I just hope I'll finally find Clank..

Pete: "Well, it's about time, mate! I been radioing you all night! So, have you found the obsidian eye yet?"

From the corner of my eye I could see Kiria's back on that little ship. I guess she refuses to talk to any of us, and honestly, me too. And I pretty much hope it will stay like this.

Talwyn: "Yeah, but it doesn't work, Darkwater hid the Fulcrum Star."

Pete: "Not surprising, Cheap ol' beanrake never did trust anyone, or pretended to. O'course, we were tryin' to kill him at the time... Good news is, every pirate worth their salt keeps a map to their buried treasure."

Talwyn: "A map? Well, where is it??"

Pete: "Well, that's the bad news. It's probably still with his body over in Morrow Caverns. Tell you what, mate- why don't you let me help you find it?"

This was sudden. Why does he want to help us? I mean, I beheaded his friend..nevermind, if it's the only way to find Clank, I'll go.

Ratchet: "We're in!"

Pete:" Great! And I have just the pirate to help us. Ta-da! I call it "Slag on a Stick". Rerouted his mem'ry banks to his vocal processor, so he'll remember anything he's lookin' at! Now climb aboard, mateys - and put yer faith in good ol' Captain Slag! Ah, and we ain't forgettin' Kiria, she will be a great help here, right Kiria?"

Kiria: "..."

Pete: "Eheh, let's just go already, don't ya think..?" (He genuinely thought she was about to kill him because he said that right now).

On the way to Morrow Caverns..

 I thought about it for a long time. Should I give her diary back? It's a bit risky, but it's her belonging, I think I should return it, especially because Worley also wanted that.

Ratchet:" Uhh hey-"

Kiria: "Fuck off"

Ratchet: "But-"

Kiria: "Didn't you hear me? Ok, I'll say it a second time, fuck off"

Ratchet: "Heresyourdiary!"

Kiria: "HUH? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!"

Ratchet: "Worley gave it to me.."

Kiria: "And what kind of right did he have to take MY belongings?! Ugh whatever, I'll burn it later." *Takes the diary as aggressive as possible*

Ratchet: " Wait wha-"

Kiria: "It's simple, who needs this kind of past crap anyway?"

Ratchet: "Ok.."

.~*🖤❤️‍🩹Kiria's pov❤️‍🩹🖤*~.

In Morrow Caverns..

Pete: "Here we are - Morrow Caverns! Famous for its majestic fjords, soothing grottoes, and legions of tortured souls awaiting their chance for revenge."

Ratchet: "What?"

Pete: "What? I didn't say nuthin'."

Ratchet: "I still don't understand why we need Slag to find Darkwater. Didn't you help him hide the ship??"

Pete: "Well, I was a bit sauced at the time. Woke up three days later wearing an evening gown and spooning a Kerchu. Watch yer tails!"

This place gives me PTSD. Well, not really, it's just the dead bodies of Darkwater's crew laying here everywhere. I am not someone who is creeped out very easily, but this place is an expectation. The three of them stopped next to a body of a pirate.

Talwyn: "Friend of yours?"

Pete: "Oh, that's Fred. He used to give me wedgies during the annual holiday party. So, no (hiccups). Get the door, wouldja mate?"

Ratchet went to crank the bolt, I would do it myself, but he has an Omni wrench. When the door opened, I was sketchy about it to be honest, but Talwyn didn't think twice and ran to it. 

Pete: "Wait! I haven't had the chance to check the tunnel for-"

Sucks to be her because the gate collapsed and now she's trapped there. She was annoying anyway. 

Pete: "Structural Integrity.."

Talwyn: "Ratchet, I'll try to find a way outta here. Just promise we'll leave this place together, okay?"

Damn, two lovebirds getting separated, how dramatic. Whatever, Pete is using him anyway, when he'll bring us to Darkwater's ship I'll gladly behead him. I'm not sure why we are going to Darkwater's ship. The only thing there is the map and his body..maybe Pete and Slag want the map to the Fulcrum Star? I guess I have to wait..I just hope it's not that connected to Darkwater..

Slag: "Stop starrin' at the wall and move, Kiria!"

Whoops, I spaced out, fuck it's embarrassing. Ratchet promised Talwyn that he won't leave her 20 seconds ago. My dumb fucking mind.

Pete: "Lombax and markazian, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-S-I-N—" (it's canon, Pete ships these both lmao)

I bumped Pete so he could stop singing, you know how vicariously embarrassing it is? 

Pete: "What was that fo- *hiccup* or?!"

Kiria: "Please shut your grog breath.."

We were going to the other gate, the longer way..great, and I wanted it to be quick. Fuck my luck.

Pete: "This path is so dangerous—so forbidden—that only a recitation of the fabled "Song of the Dead" (hiccups) shall open the way!"

Slag: "I'm a little tea-pot, short and stout! Here is me han-dle, here is me spout!"

Slag was obviously mocking the dead pirates here, and I kinda agree with Slag, the past crew was..not so great to be honest.

I just hope this won't escalate to something bad. I really don't want to have anything with Darkwater ever again.
