Ratchet and Clank: Rise of Galaxion - Book 1

Chapter 16: Silox

"Ratchet's POV"

After contacting Clank and Jinx, we all got in Aphelion and set course for Silox. As soon as we got there we started to go look for the shard but there were a lot of thugs and galax bots so it wasn't easy, we went to the same place that I faced Neftin in but as I heard something I turn around and a train was coming towards us. Fortunately we mange to get out of the way quickly but we then notice some thugs and galax bots above us."feel that?" I quickly turned around to see Vendra walking towards us, stretching her arms, I noticed that Lyra had her flame whip out."With the final shard here, this is the perfect spot for Galaxion to come and besides we don't need the shard you have, we just needed two" she told us as she put on an evil smile,"don't you think Rig is using you?" I told her in hopes of stopping her."How many lives are you gonna hurt just to unleash some monster?" I overheard Lyra question and she sounded worried."I'll admit Rig takes his job seriously but I'll get to rule this galaxy,can you imagine trying to get something precious to you,close enough to grab but impossible to reach" she told us as she turn her back away."yes,yes I can but wanting something badly causes you to go to the dark side" I said, knowing she gone to far,"it doesn't matter, if your gonna get in the way I guess I'll have to destroy you" she said as she shoot energy blasts at us but we mange to avoid it, I guess I'll have take Vendra down
17 mins
I am...WAY out of breath! But I manage to beat Vendra, she collapses right on the ground. I noticed the thugs and galax bots started to aim at us,"sure now you pull out out blasters" I said sarcastically as Lyra got out her blaster and Jinx got out his metallic cat fists."for eons the seekers tried preventing anyone from finding Galaxion, although I'm impressed how a rat like you can get this close. you should know well!" He yelled at us as he held that core shard."if you let that thing out everyone will suffer,Rig stop this madness!" I heard Lyra pleaded and I can tell she cared deeply but Rig wouldn't listen so he placed the shard in the center with two other shards next to it. "It's time. Master! I ask you to come out into this galaxy again!" We heard Rig yell and the shards just kept glowing and glowing until the core shard broke and came out some black ghost-like thing with golden eyes, white teeth and a mark on its forehead,I realized who it was:Galaxion. We just stood there with shock expressions and all the thugs and galax bots ran away in fear,"now master! Destroy them!" Rig commanded as he laughed and tha thing got really close to us."I believe we should run now" I overheard Clank and I had to agree. We need to get back to my ship.
"Lyra's POV"

We manage to get away from that monster but we were still far from Aphelion,I noticed Ratchet collapse on the ground with his head low.I kneeled down to check if he's okay but when I place my hand on his chest I can feel his heart beat going fast, we saw Galaxion comings towards in front and Ratchet and I exchange shock looks."This way!" We overheard Jinx yell and went to another room with a teleporter but I stopped running and seeing a control panel that was close, I knew I should have told him so I quickly got out my blaster and pointed to the control panel."Lyie!" I heard Jinx but I turn away with my eyes close and pulled on the trigger.
"Ratchet's POV"

"Lyie!" I overheard Jinx and turned around to see Lyra shot the control panel which caused the door to seal shot,I tried to get her but I was too late."what are you doing?! I yelled as I bang at the glass,"Jinx,Clank...my backpack she instructed as her ears went down. Once they went through her bag there were two purple shard and I realize that we found one but were did we found the other one?"I found one back at Tropos and I also know Galaxion has a weakness" she told us which shocked me,Clank and Jinx,"but why would you hide this?" I heard Clank questioned."because I thought I could do this alone but I was wrong,listen that teleporter will take you back to Tropos were your ship is. I'll distract Galaxion" she told us and I noticed Jinx and Clank already went the teleporter but I can't leave her."maybe I can fix it" I told her as I was about to go to the busted panel but Lyra told me there's no time."listen if I don't come back promise me you'll come for me, please" I heard her as she placed her hand on the wall and I placed mine on hers, looking into her eyes I can tell she didn't want this."I promise" I said with determination, she gave me one last smile before removing her hand from mine."good luck...hero boy" she told me as we ran in opposite directions but I turn around for one more look,she had her whip out but that thing got closer and turned into Robo-mech. She had a scared expression and started to run and that thing went after her. I just stood there with a shocks expression but I realize this whole place is falling apart so I had to run to the teleporter but don't worry Ly: I will save you.
