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

Chapter 9

*Approching Planet Novalis

Ratchet's p.o.v.

"So what's the plan Captain?" Cora asked Qwark as we approached the deplanetizer, thankfully Jewel had recovered from her injury enough to join me. "So what's the plan?" Cora asked Qwark "Oh the plan, right so I'll head on in and talk to this Drek character, see if we can settle this mano a mano." Qwark said. "Talk? I don't follow sir." Brax replied. "Sir with respect, Drek has destroyed 5 planets. I think we've done enough talking!" Cora said. Then Elaris spoke up. "Sir, if we could just take 5 minutes to discuss a plan!" "Ugh, sure." Qwark groaned. Then Elaris went on with her plan but me and Jewel were too busy talking to notice. "So are you sure you are up for this mission?" I asked her. "Yes, you've asked like a hundred times! I promise you I'm just fine!" She said. "Ok, whatever you say." I replied. Then out of nowhere the Captain just went straight to the deplanetizer, ignoring everyone's pleas. Before we could say anything a hundred red ship's came at us. "Contacts! Engage!" Cora ordered. "You heard her Jewel, fire away!" I told Jewel, but when she pressed the button the light blinked red and said "error". "It won't do anything! I think someone might have tampered with the weapons system!" Jewel yelled, panicking a little. "Rangers fall back!" Elaris ordered everyone and we listened, but I couldn't leave Qwark behind. Jewel say the look on my face and asked, "Ratchet what's wrong?" "We can't leave him!" I replied then I turned my ship without giving her a chance to reply. "Ratchet, Jewel, what are you doing?" Brax asked. "We're going in!" I said speeding up. "Ratchet, it's to dangerous! If you could fall back we could think of a follow-up plan!" Elaris exclaimed. I said cutting her off, "There's no time!" Jewel added in agreement, "Captain Qwark is in there fighting an entire army on his own!" Ratchet then yelled before moving the ship to dodge the shots shooting at us, "Ah!" We managed to not get hit and then heard Elaris say to us, "Their defensive fire is too strong. Pull back! Your fighter won't make it." "We don't have to land! We just have to get close." "Are we gonna do what I think we are gonna do?", Jewel asked with a determined look. I replied, "Yep!". I did my best to steer my fighter to dodge the blasts but, the fighter got hit a few times and the computer said, "Hull integrity at 2%. Prepare to teleject." "Oh boy...", Jewel said hearing the computer. Then we heard Clank say, "Ratchet, Jewel, please, listen to Elaris. The odds of surviving a head-on assault is roughly 600,993 to one!" I then said, "Big heroes do big things." I then pull back the wheel as the computer said, "3...2...1..." "NOW!", Jewel said and I quickly pushed the wheel forward. I held onto Jewel's hand as we teleject just as the fighter blew up. We screamed as we quickly floated across towards the station and not getting shoot with success then made it to the station.

(Jewel's p.o.v.)

(Inside the deplanetizer)

We made it on to the deplanetizer and started crawling in the vents. After a little bit Ratchet said, "Look this vent might take us to the control panel!" After making sure the guards were gone he kicked it open and we hung down from it. "Looks like we're clear." I whispered and we both jumped down and made our way to the panel. "Ratchet, Jewel where are you?!" Elaris asked with a bit of alarm in her voice. "Can't talk right now, we're almost at the control center!" I told her. "Captain Qwark did something to the ship, nothing's working! And I think Clank's in trouble." "Rodger that! As soon as we stop the deplanetizer from firing we'll be right back to help!" Ratchet said then we made it to the control panel. Before we could do anything however we we're both shot with a Mag-Net! Then we heard laughing from behind us. It was Drek! "Ha ha ha, bravo my sweet lombaxes, bravo! I deal with my share of morons from time to time, but THIS? This is seriously next level." We just looked in shock. "Take them!" Drek ordered his minions. And before we knew it we where grabbed and taken across the deplanetizer.

Clank's p.o.v.

I was hiding from Victor in the vents. "Where are you, defect? Come out and fight!" Then Elaris came out and jumped on him. "You want a fight? I'll give you a fight!" She yelled but was knocked off of him, breaking some water pipes in the process. When the water started piling up I noticed Victor backed away from it, almost like he was scared of it. This gave me an idea. But then he somehow he found out I was in there so he tore the grate off so I ran into another room. Noticing the guns I knew just what I needed. When Victor came in I shot the storm him over him. Thinking I missed he laughed and said, "You're nothing but a worthless defect!" Unfazed by his insult I said, "That may be true, but I am waterproof." Then he ran to me but the rain rusted him and stopped him in his tracks. I touched him and he fell over and died. "Heyyy!" I heard a voice say behind him. I looked over and saw Zedd. He fogged up the window and drew a smiley face. "Can I switch sides?"

Ratchet's p.o.v.

"I never had a planet of my own. I spent the last few years underground where it was dark and wet and hot." Drek mocked us, then as we passed a room we heard a familiar voice. "And I said warrior,? No, I said I was a worrier. I worry about everything!" We looked over and saw Qwark. "Qwark?" I said and Jewel whispered while glaring at him in surprise and little bit of betrayal, "What?!" "Oh Jewel, you're here too! Well this awkward." He said and stared to push the close button. Then Drek came back to us. "The next time you two and those moronic rangers decide to play hero, plan better!" He said which fueled our anger. "Toss them out in an escape pod. I want them to live to see their failure." Then we were taken to an escape pod as Drek fired up the deplanetizer. "No!!" Both of us yelled as we were ejected into space. We could only watch in horror as Novalis was blown up. We looked over the debris with sadness. "Now what?" Jewel asked, on the verge of crying. I answered, "We are going home."
