Two Lombaxes (Ratchet Love Story) (Ratchet and Clank Movie)

Chapter 2

*At the garage*

​​​​​​

Ratchet's p.o.v.

I was showing the Mr. Micron the new upgrades I've added to his ship.

"Protolux afterburners, full Gadgetron weapon package, and a high-intensity mag-booster so powerful, it can pick up a paperclip from two kilocubits away!" I exclaimed, feeling very proud of myself.

"I think there's been a mistake, I came in to get my ejector seat repaired." He said, a bit confused. "Why repair something when you can improve it?" I asked in an advertising way. "Come on, have a seat." I then said as I pulled Mr. Micron up into the ship. "Now let's fire up that mag-booster!" Then he pulled the switch that activates the mag-booster and as he did, metal objects around us started to shake, then a gear came flying and stuck to the ship, startling him a little bit. "Pretty sweet, right?" I asked him. "I guess, but why do I need it?" He asked me. "Well, you could... I mean, you know if you ever... you know, I don't know." I said, realizing it has no purpose. But before I could say anything else, my Omniwrench suddenly came and stuck to the ship, making a loud banging noise and startling both of us. "Don't worry, I can buff that out." I reassured. "Maybe we should just..." I started to say but was interrupted by another object getting stuck to the ship. "Power this sucker down." I continued then tried to turn it off, but the switch was stuck. "Oh, boy." I said then objects from all around the garage started to get magnetized to the ship. "Look out! Hello! Watch it!" I screamed as I avoided the objects flying towards me. Then I saw my lost Qwark statue. "Hey, I've been looking for that." I said as I reached for it, but more objects came flying towards me and I had to avoid them. Then a tool hit the ship and I heard the engine start up. "What was that sound?" Mr. Micron asked. "Nothing." I said. "Unrelated question, is your seatbelt on?" I asked with a worried look. He gave me a confused look then before we knew it the ship blasted out of the garage and then fell into a canyon with tons of metal objects following us.

Mr. Micron's p.o.v.

I was stuck on a speeding ship in the driver seat and the lombax was hanging on to the side of the ship. I knew I shouldn't have trusted that lombax! "Hit the brakes! Hit the brakes!" He yelled, so I pushed my foot on one of the pedals but it just made it go faster."Those aren't the brakes!" I heard him say as he was sent flying back. "I'm too old to die!" I yelled.​​​​​​"You've got to be kidding me, how did you get a license?!" I heard the lombax yell at me. We continued screaming as the ship was flying through the canyon. Then he yelled something at me but I couldn't quite hear what he said. "The fish witch?" I yelled back. Then he said two more things but I still couldn't hear. "The drill hatch on the dish!" I said as I looked at the dashboard then I pulled a random lever a couple times but it didn't do anything. We're gonna die...

Ratchet's p.o.v.

Since Mr. Micron couldn't do anything, I knew it was up to me to stop this thing. "Hang on, I can fix this." I said, then I reeled in my swingshot and landed back in the ship and started to work on the wiring. "Your tail's in my face!" I heard him say. "Hey, the view's no prettier down here, pal!" I answered. The ship started to bump into walls, then Mr. Micron yelled, "There's a wall!" "Oh, boy." I said then I connected the two wires together and I felt the ship slowly come to a stop, the metal objects digging into the wall in front of us. Then I submerged from the ship's wiring. "Phew, that was a close one, huh?" I said, smiling as I playfully punched him in the arm. He was about to say something, but then the ejector seat activated and he was sent flying into the air. "I want a refund!" He yelled as he went higher and higher into the sky. "Yeah, that is definitely going to show up on my midyear review." I said to myself. "I hope Jewel doesn't notice..."
