The demon of Polaris
I do not own Ratchet and clank, the brilliant people of insomniac games do. This is for entertainment purposes only
(Somewhere in another dimension)
"We need to go home; we have been trapped here ever since that horrible tragedy that happened twenty three years ago" a lombax scientist said to himself as he was turning the last bolt into place on the devise that he was building in his hidden lab in the subterranean level in his house. He was a short but cut lombax, he had black fur with white stripes, he had a set of goggles pulled over his forehead and he wore the new model of praetorian guard combat armor, the armor was made of rareatainium plate and rareatainium chain mail sleeves with elbow high black leather gloves, the armor resembled that of a medieval knight and it was painted black for it is always night time in the lombax dimension and it offered the best camouflage. "Yes! It's finished, this dang thing took me four years to build and now we can finally go home" the lombax cheered once he put the last piece on the devise he was building "I need to take this to the elders immediately"
The lombax put the devise in a cloth sack and carried it out of his lab and started for the elder council. He busted through his front door and was met with the pitch blackness of the lombax dimension. He hover booted down the road towards the elder council where he would show off their ticket home, he hated this dimension it was always night he had never seen the sun or felt its warmth the only thing he has seen was the stars above.
When he arrived at the elder council he slid his key card over the pad next to the two large doors and they slowly opened. The lombax walked through the doorway and the doors slid shut behind him, in front of him was four lombaxes sitting at a round table, they were all middle aged, there was a lombax wearing praetorian guard combat armor the same as the inventor the only difference was the rank, he was a four bolt magistrate general and adviser of combat and strategy, there was another who was a white furred lombax with no stripes wearing a white lab coat and a pair of glasses, she was the head scientist at the center for advanced lombax research II and she advised on anything that had to do with scientific problems, there was also two more lombaxes that handled politics, one had gray fur with white stripes and he also had blue eyes, the other was a female with brown fur and red stripes and she had green eyes. "I'm sorry for the intrusion elders but I have just built our ticket home" the inventor said, all eyes were on him now "Kane I hope you invented something that actually works this time, you have been at this for years, I do not need our peoples hope crushed again" the general spoke harshly, Kane's ears dropped slightly "it's not an invention, it's more like a copy, and I am sure this will work and I plan on testing this only in front of you so that doesn't happen again" Kane said, the female politician raised an eyebrow and spoke "you have me intrigued, what do you have" Kane grew a wide smile and pulled the bag off of his shoulder, "ladies and gents I bring you" Kane paused while pulling the devise from the bag "the dimensionater". The elder's mouths dropped at the sight of the long lost devise "you built a dimensionater, and you are sure that it will work?" the head scientist asked, Kane's grin grew to an ear to ear smile "I'm positive madam Weiss, with this we can finally go home" Kane said in a cheerful tone "if you are so sure that it will work how about a demonstration, use the devise to go back to fastoon and come back" the general said in a emotionless tone, "no way it is too dangerous" the female politician said, "but it is the only way madam Donner" Kane pleaded She gave a stern look "there is no way I am letting the only son I have left do something this dangerous" Kane gave a hurt look to his mother "how about a vote, if there is any possibility of bringing us home I am willing to do it" Kane said, he knew that a council vote is the only way to surpass the decision of one person on the council. Madam Donner gave an angry stare at her son, "the boy is as determined as your late husband Kate" the male politician said; he was Kate's present husband and Kane was his and Kate's son "I have all confidence in our son, and risk is what makes us who we are, I'm all for his decision" the male politician said giving his son a nod of approval, "ok fine Mack" Kate said.
"Thanks dad, let's get this on with" Kane said, he put the dimensionater on his head and said "dimensionater find home" with that a portal opened and Kane walked through. When he walked through he was immediately blinded by the sunlight so badly that he fell to his knees in pain for he had been in pitch blackness for twenty years. Once his eyes adjusted to the light he stood up and took in his surroundings, he was dumbfounded of what he had saw, the city was a broken barren wasteland, there was destroyed buildings as far as the eye could see, the desert had taken back most of the city and buried the buildings with sand. Kane was born in the lombax dimension and he had never saw the city of fastoon, he heard stories about how beautiful it was before tachyon attacked, but seeing the damage with his own eyes made him sick to his stomach. He felt that he had stayed long enough and he should return before his parents worry.
"Dimensionater find the lombaxes" a portal opened and he walked through, when he walked out he was back in the elder council chambers. "It worked, get all of the lombaxes to rally in the court of Kaden" he paused "were going home" a loud cheer came from the mouths of the council members.
(Fastoon ten minutes ago)
Three miles away from the lombax dimension portal was a young lombax who was building his retirement home on his birth planet, he was accompanied by a robotic companion who was helping him pound the last few nails in the building. "Hey clank hand me the nail driver" Ratchet asked, his robotic companion, clank did as he was asked and handed Ratchet the nail gun. "Pop, pop, pop" Ratchet shot the last three nails into his retirement home, he was retiring from the hero business and he wanted to live out his days on fastoon with clank. "Ratchet I have just picked up a signature of a dimensional rift near here" Clank said, Ratchet Raised an eyebrow "well we better go and find out what came through" Ratchet replied, with that they walked in the direction of the portal.
"Clank are you sure you picked that up right, there is nothing here" Ratchet asked "I am positive Ratchet the portal was opened right here where we are standing" Clank replied and the duo looked around for around ten minutes, "Clank there is nothing here, we should head back" just as Ratchet said that an dimensional portal opened right in front of the duo and thousands of lombaxes started pouring out.
Ratchet was shocked and speechless, he didn't know what to think about what was happening, he felt a smile grow across his face. As Ratchet was standing there in shock he didn't realize the praetorian guard speaking to him "you weren't with the group who are you" the guard looked at Ratchets shocked face and realized that he was one who was left behind. "hey buddy" the guard said as he shook Ratchets arm to get his attention, Ratchet snapped out of it and turned to the guard, "w-what's going on, how's this possible" Ratchet said, the guard knelt down so he could be at Ratchets level "hey kid, take a few deep breaths and follow me, I want to talk to you" the guard said, Ratchet did as he was told and followed the guard.
The guard walked Ratchet around a crumbling building so that they could talk, " what's your name kid" the guard asked, Ratchet has somewhat composed himself "the names Ratchet" Ratchet said with an extended hand the guard shook Ratchets hand "I'm lieutenant general James Thompson of the Lombax Praetorian guard, and it is great to see someone survived Tachyon" Thompson Said. The two of them brought each other up to speed on current events Ratchet explained how he survived by being in a different galaxy and how he later came back to Polaris and defeated Tachyon. The general was shocked that a single lombax did what thousands couldn't do. "Well since you killed Tachyon I think the others will want to meet you and I'm sure that the elder council will want to speak with you, Ratchet the hero of the lombaxes"
