Bonds And Love(Rivchet)

Chpt.7: Gettting Help

*Alister's P.O.V*

As I made my way towards Ratchet and Rivet I didn't miss the two having a moment though to not embarrass them I decided to not say anything as it was honestly nice to see the two getting closer however, when I got closer I didn't fail to notice that Ratchet's shirt had scuff marks and what seemed to be a small amount of dried blood along the length of his back which instantly concerned me and made me think "what happened while you were out?" When I was  next to them I could tell something had gone wrong just by the looks on their faces and the fact that there were only three bags of items all together when I would of figured they would have grabbed more as the two hadn't had much time to theirselves in a little while.

With them dealing with meetings with leaders they trusted to try to see if they could send help our way to restore Fastoon to its former glory before the exodus, asking Ms. Apogee to see if she could form a group of advocates for our species as well as just in general having to deal with nosy press and other planetary leaders.

Most of the press and leaders were willing to listen and asked how the lombaxes were back with curiosity and not contempt and as expected wanted a explanation for the cataclysm as well as how they could help with the recovery effort after ratchet had explained tachyon had returned however he had assured them that tachyon had been taken out for good with some help though he didn't say my name as even now I had yet to reveal I was alive.

During some of these meetings however I had been asked to tag along while wearing a hologuise as not to reveal myself for obvious reasons upon both ratchet and rivet's request as they wanted me there as support and just felt more comfortable with me there especially since at these particular meetings they were not allowed to bring clank or kit. The meetings that I tagged along on usually involved a handful of leaders who were not willing to listen worth a shit and straight insulted the two with such contempt that it took everything in me not to reveal myself and put them in their place for insulting my daughter and ratchet despite everything he has done for the galaxy.

They had wanted both ratchet and rivet as well as all the lombaxes that have crossed over here to their rightful home to return to wherever they had hid for over twenty years as they had claimed our presence seemed to only cause problems and wars to break out as it always seemed to do when we were around and though the two had taken the insults it wasn't hard to see the two were at their wits end when dealing with these types of meetings especially ratchet who I had to quite literally keep in place as to prevent him from attacking the leaders by placing my hand on his back in a manner that reminded him of clank as the leaders feared he and Kit could cause camera issues despite neither having that ability in the first place. To me these particular leaders seemed very similar to how the old lombax council was which was closed off and unwelcoming of others besides other lombaxes which didn't sit right with me.

After those meetings we typically went to the nearest shooting range after to let out our anger on targets of various types though the primary version were semi solid projections of targets though we did occasionally go to one with heavily armored walls where we could literally let loose and shoot up to a warmonger into the walls without them breaking. It was the best way to regain control of our emotions as none of us wanted the others to see that we had failed yet again at a peace treaty and agreement with the remaining leaders that we had assumed would be willing to help us just long enough till we had a bit more structure set up and then we'd be out of their hair.

Back in the present moment clank and Kit had made their way to us as well though Kit was the one who had been brave enough to break the tense silence by asking how their trip had gone. As soon as those words were said the two both sighed as their ears drooped and in unison said "not great" before they both took turns going into a rather animated explanation of what had gone down. Rivet had explained how she had been excited about visiting the mall and had actually jumped from aphelion the moment she could and had explained she had ran ahead of ratchet to see what stores were available and explained that she had accidentally ran into someone in her rush.
