Ratchet and Clank: Rise of Galaxion - Book 1

Chapter 5: Lyra's serect

Clank's POV
We have manage to get to the museum and waited for Talwyn to come, "have you been here before Lyra?" I questioned for she looked quite surprised as I sat on the bench, "never" she said as she looked around, "you know Clank the first room I would go is the Lombax History Wing she pointed out.So... Where is this Talwyn?" Lyra questioned Ratchet though he proclaimed she might appear in a hologram, surprisingly she appeared behind him only to notice Lyra. "Woah another lombax?! Incredible!" Talwyn said excitedly though it confused Lyra, "Tal this is Lyra and she is helping us stop Rig and Vendra" Ratchet mentions though Talwyn did not know who Rig was. Lyra explained who Rig was and about his plan, "huh, looks like we're gonna have to keep an eye out for Galaxion" Talwyn pointed out for I believe she sounded very serious but suggested we go to Neftin after leaving Tropos before getting out of hologram though we had to wait for Aphelion to come. "Hey Clank do you think she knows about Alister Azimuth?" Ratchet asked me though I know it's been a while since seeing another lombax, "now Ratchet Lyra may be a lombax too but we do not know if she knows the General" I pointed out for we barely knew anything about her. Ratchet decided to ask Lyra but when he turned around she was gone, however I suggested she went to the Lombax History Wing since she told me and as I told him, Ratchet left to find Lyra while I stayed to wait for our ship and them.

Lyra's POV
I manage to sneak away to the Lombax History Wing, I couldn't help it but I was so desperate to see the Dimensionator plus Ratchet told me on the way that he managed to defeat Tachyon, not even the Lombax Praetorian Guard can defeat that insane cragmite, as I looked around I noticed a statue of Ratchet and Clank, guess they're famous. After taking a few after few looks I finally found what I was looking for: Alister Azimuth's statue. I walked up to the statue and let a sigh until hearing a voice, "enjoying the view?" I quickly turn to see Ratchet leaning on the wall with one hand while smirking at me.

Ratchet's POV
"Are you always this charming around girls or do you just like following me?" Lyra questioned me as I walked to her side, "well one of those" I said while staring in her eyes but her ears started going down as she turned to the statue of Azimuth, "so Lyra... Do you know General Azimuth?" I questioned as I turn to Lyra though her ears started to perk up, "Azimuth?" She questioned as she turn to look at me. "You know, the General and he knew my father Kad-" but I didn't finish the last word as Lyra finished it for me, "I know him well" Lyra told me as she glared at me and clenched her teeth and something told me I shouldn't anger her, "theres a reason how I know him, try to remember you weren't the only lombax at first" Lyra said as she threw her locket at me, in confusion I look in the photo to see what she meant but in the photo were two lombaxes, a female with short black hair, white fur and black stripes but as I looked at the next lombax next to her I realized who it was: the General! "You knew him?" I said in panic even though he looked younger, "I recognize that face anywhere. He was my father, the one next to him was my mother and I am the daughter of Alister Azimuth himself" she said angrily as she took back the locket. "I can't believe Alister had a daughter, "look Vendra told me your the one who killed my father but since your Kaden's son I refuse to believe it" she said but looked at me as if she wants the truth, "it's not true is it" she questioned looking scared, so I nodded to let her know I didn't kill her father. As she let a sigh of relief and turned to the statue I noticed a small gap on her right ear, maybe she got it when fighting those robots but I wasn't sure, "you know I haven't notice it before but your ear, it has a gap" I said in surprise, "Tachyon was the one who did this to me" Lyra told me as she placed her fingers at that gap, must have hurt I said in my head, "it healed but it wasn't what it was like before" she told as she closed her eyes and lowered her head, I felt bad for her knowing what it's like as an orphan so I place my hand on her shoulder and said sorry. As she open her eyes to look at my hand and turn to look at me, she started to smile at me and as I look into her eyes they seem brighter than before. "Ratchet, Aphelion is here". I got out of the trance as I heard Clank's voice on the intercom. "We're on our way pal" I told as me and Lyra walked back to the Aphelion.
