A Lombax's past

_Hey guys this is my first Ratchet and Clank story so sorry if it's not any good and I have added some new characters to Ratchet and Clank so ya…anyway this story is after the game Ratchet and Clank Future a Crack in Time enjoy!

_On the planet Veldin their laid a young male Lombax named Ratchet fast asleep having a nightmare about the Great Clock.

He tossed and turned as Alister's voice echoed in his mind.

Ratchet's golden fur was drenched in sweat as he continued to have the nightmare of his battle with him and Alister.

"Kill you now save you in the past!" Yelled Alister.

"No Alister don't!" Ratchet whispered in his sleep.

Alister's eye flashed in his dream. He had such anger in his eye.

"Please!" Ratchet moaned.

"Your mother your father! They'll both be with you safe and sound!" Yelled Alister.

"No it's not a time machine!" Ratchet yelled.

"Your father would be disappointed on you for being a trader!" Yelled Alister.

"Not true!" Ratchet cried.

Ratchet was now walking away from Alister with Clank his best friend by his side.

"I said stop" Alister yelled.

Ratchet turned to see an electric source coming from Alister's wrench. closer and closer until…

"NO!" Ratchet screamed as he woke up with a start breathing heavily.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Alister…" He whispered.

He slowly got out of bed, but sat back down putting his head in his hands.

It has been a little over a year since Alister's death at the Great Clock and ever since then he had nightmares every night about it.

"Why didn't he just listen to me?" He asked himself.

Ratchet looked out his window. It was still dark outside he then imagined about a ship landing in front of his house with a female Lombax running out of it and pulling Ratchet into her arms and whispering in his ear "Ratchet my son I come to take you home" and him looking over her shoulder to see his father Kaden smiling kindly at him.

Ratchet new this would never come true, but the thought always gave him comfort even when he was 7 living in the orphanage he pretended that his parents would come and get him and live happily ever after, but this never happened.

"What is my mother's name?" He asked himself

There was then a gentle knock on his door.

"Ratchet are you alright?" Asked a kind voice.

Ratchet looked at the door to see kind glowing green eye that could only belong to his best friend Clank.

"Ya pal I'm fine." Ratchet answered.

"Are you sure? Clank asked.

"Ya just a nightmare Clank I'll see you in the morning ok." Ratchet said.

"Alight then Ratchet goodnight." Clank said.

"Night pal." Ratchet said.

Clank slowly closed the door, but then hesitated as he looked back at Ratchet.

Ratchet gave him a reassuring smile and then Clank closed the door.

Ratchet let out a breath of relief. The last thing he wanted was Clank to worry about him anymore than he should. Ever since the Great Clock all his friends have done nothing, but worry about him and he hated it. All day they would ask if he was alright or suggest that he go to therapy. The last thing he wanted to do is go to therapy and have that publicized in the papers he could already see the headline Galactic Hero or Ordinary Nut Case.

He shook the thought off and looked back out the window and imagined what his mother looked like.

For some reason ever since he learned about his father he has been looking for answers about his mother ever since and this made him angry because they only person that could give him answers about his past was gone. Ratchet was truly alone. Ratchet yawned.

"Well I best get to bed." He thought

He climbed back into bed and fell asleep.
