Chapter one: Moving Targets
This story takes place nearly one earth year after the end of the A CRACK IN TIME story. Ratchet and Talwyn have dating for nearly a year and Talwyn has begun to move to the city of Megalopolis to be closer to Ratchet and Clank. She is still in the process of moving and travels with Ratchet back and forth to the Apogee Space Station to gather her belongings. And this is where the adventure begins.
Radio: { And that was Gris Frown with No 3x and up next its Patty Jerry with Firestorm on the galaxy's 1 music station 789.6 ~CLICK~}
"Hey I was listening to that, What gives?" Ratchet yells with a look disagreement as Clank reaches up changes the ship's radio station from the back seat.
"U have been listening to that station since we left Megalopolis and its bored poor Talwyn to sleep!" Clank responds as he changes through all the station signals.
Unknown to the trio a cloaked Warship has been trailing their ship since they blasted off from Megalopolis.
"Sir we have the Lombax's ship in firing range!" a pilot on the Warship announces. "Wait just a little longer I want this shot to count, its been a long search but now Mr. Hardlight will soon have pay up the 2,000,000 bolt bounty he placed on the head of that furball! Now I Captain Gastonia Darkwater will be known as the Galaxy's greatest bounty hunter! Now Lt. Scorch you may fire when ready, erase that Lombax from existence.
Lt. Scorch looks back at his robotic Captain with a evil grin but with also a sense of fear as he knew that if this shot missed its mark their will be hell to pay as the brother of Angstrom Darkwater was quick to anger and quicker to rip the head off the poor soul that caused that anger.
The Warship then uncloaks and aims its laser at Ratchet's ship. Ratchet and Clank are to busy fighting over the radio to notice death approaching at a fast rate from behind.
!FIRE!
The Warship's laser charges up and let out a beam of green energy directly at the Aphelion. A red alert sounds on the HUD which wakes up Talwyn, she notices the laser and grabs the controls from Ratchet sending Aphelion into a barrel roll. The Laser strikes the base of the left wing causing the warp drive to go haywire and sending the trio in a uncontrolled course into deep space!
"You missed fool, I'll have your head for this!" Capt. Darkwater screams with his sword drawn.
"But Captain the Lombax is no where to be found maybe we can lie to Mr. Hardlight and still collect the bounty." Scorch says with a stutter.
"Good ideal Lt. Scorch set a coarse for Planet Vetlex, that Lombax is done for anyway HA HA HA HA" The Evil Captain demands as the Warship hits hyper drive!
Elsewhere the Aphelion still in a uncontrolled barrel roll loses fuel and get caught in the Gravity of a uncharted planet. Talwyn and Ratchet try to control the freefall but to no avail. "We have no choice but to make a hard landing, lets aim for that lake area." Ratchet says with a worried look.
Without warning the Left wing breaks away and Aphelion makes a nose dive into the forest.
After a few minutes Talwyn and Clank both wake up to find Ratchet unconscious and bleeding from the head. "Ratchet is hurt bad we need to find some kind of help." Clank says with concern.
Talwyn who has a look of complete horror on her face as she looks out the window taps Clank on the back of the head, "I think we need help first because a few of the locals have come to welcome us and they look hungry!"
Three large T-Rex like creatures each with a glowing yellow jewel in their heads have surrounded the ship and a fourth is on top of it trying to rip its way in!
Talwyn grabs two blasters and throws one to Clank then gives him a wink and says if we are going to die then we go out with a bang!
Looks like trouble for the gang!
