Song/Band/Artist that inspired this One Shot: Live Long Enough To Become The Hero by NateWantsToBattle

By the way, this is kind of a loose sequel to the What If One Shot of ,"Drek Lived" So if you haven't read that one, go check it out if you want. That one is actually one of my personal favorites.


"Give up, you stupid Lombax! I'm so much more stronger than you!" Drek laughed as he kicked Ratchet down to the cold metal floor. Both were sporting minor cuts and bruises, but until now, neither one had hit the floor. As Ratchet tried to catch his breath on the floor, he let his mind clear and then refocus on the fight at hand. He suddenly received a second wind in stamina and got back onto his feet and gave Drek a canine filled smile.

"I'm never gonna give up. No matter how many times you break my bones. No matter how many times you shoot me... I'm never gonna give in. I'll fight until the both of us are lying dead in a pool of our own blood... Or until I kill you." With that, Ratchet lunged forward and dug his claws into Drek's side and bit down on the Blarg's collar bone. A small victory was granted to Ratchet as he felt the bone snap in two between his jaws and Drek gave a loud shout of pain.

"You filthy orphan!" Drek tried grab Ratchet's scruff, but the Lombax had released his grip on the Blarg's side and swung his clawed hand into the Blarg's arm and stabbed his claws into the veins on his wrist. A satisfying amount of blood shot out of the veins as Ratchet was knocked off the Blarg by Drek grabbing him by the scruff and throwing him across the room to try and tend to his wrist.

"YOU DIRTY SPACE RAT!" Drek spat as Ratchet pounced on him again and the Lombax sent ten claws into the Blarg's abdomen and caused five inch deep gashes before he was swung off again by the half robot and half organic.

"Ratchet!" The two fighters looked to the entrance to see a green eyed robot spectating the fight. In the robot's hands was Ratchet's blue accented OmniWrench.

"YOU!" Drek spat blood at the robot as Clank threw the wrench to the Lombax.

"YOU ARE NOT GETTING THAT!" Ratchet gave a small shout as he was yanked out of the air by Drek pulling down on his foot and tail. Upon hitting the floor, Ratchet got onto all fours and kicked himself off the floor and pounced onto Drek's back just before the Blarg could grab his wrench from the air.

"Clank! Get out of here!" The small robot didn't heed Ratchet's demand as he activated his Geo-Laser and aimed for Drek's head, but just before the robot could kill him, the Blarg rolled Ratchet onto his back and tried to turn the odds to his favor.

Ratchet could only kick and try to release Drek's grip on his throat as the Blarg started cherishing the final moments of the Lombax's life. But just before Drek decided to snap the Lombax's neck, he looked up at Clank to see the robot send a beam of green light into his eyes.

Ratchet closed his eyes as the laser hit Drek right in between his eyes and gasped for air as a splatter of blood hit his face and the grip on his throat became lifeless.

"Clank!" Ratchet gave a few coughs as he kicked the corpse off his body and rolled over onto his hands and knees.

"Yes, Ratchet?"

"Remind me the next time that this guy comes back to life to just let you laser his brains out."

"Making a note on that, friend."


Something tells me there's a part where I made this suck... I don't know where though...
