Ratchet's Nightmares.

So this is an idea I had a while back and I'd do it so enjoy

(Disclaimer) I do not own Ratchet and Clank it belongs to Insomniac Games

About a week after Dreadzone happened Ratchet and Clank stayed with Sasha at her mansion in metropolis as they didn't really have any where else to go. Ratchet started having disturbing nightmares about his experiences on Dreadzone. He went to bed around 11:30 at night and dreamt he was on the phoenix and that he was tied up while the Eviscerator flew around him his wings turned into dread bots that flew around their guns set on low were thrust up to his face and set on low they scorched his fur burning it away he screamed in pain as the Eviscerator picked him up by the throat with his foot and made him watch as insectoid tremors danced around Sasha cutting her apart her fur had come off in places she was bleeding in others she tried to fight back but she just kept getting cut apart she eventually fell to the ground and kept getting cut apart he couldn't watch anymore he turned his head and saw Clank being ripped by Shellshock and Reactor the were pulling him in half Clanks robotic screams echoed throughout the dark room Ratchet screamed at the sight of it he tried to escape the Eviscerators grasp who promptly grabbed Ratchet's tail with one hand and held his head straight with the other he looked at Clank who was still screaming finally Clank separated into two pieces wires and gears flying everywhere AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH! Ratchet screamed he clenched his eyes shut and felt the Eviscerator stick one of his pincers into his ear and rip off a large portion of it AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHH! He dropped him onto the ground Ratchet continued howling in pain his head resting in a pool of his own blood he laid there shaking. The Eviscerator Then Picked up the two pieces of Clank and dropped them on Ratchet he looked at his friends dismembered face and screamed CCCCCCCCLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAA AAAANNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

Ratchet woke up with a startle. He was breathing heavily he looked around and got up and ran down the hall to Clank's room he burst through the door and picked Clank up "whaaaa" Clank screamed in surprise Ratchet hugged him tightly he was crying tears streamed down his furry face Clank who was absolutely bewildered but also sympathetic simply hugged his friend back. Clank could hear his friend trying to speak through the sobs Clank heard *sob*…a...Y…you…and the…*sob*sob*…gears…and…, my…ear…and Sasha…*sob*sob*sob* …I'm so sorry…*sob*sob*sob*. Clank then felt Ratchet loosen his iron grip. Clank pulled away. "Ratchet what is wrong "Clank asked in a sympathetic tone. I…h…ha…aaa….dddd….a…*sob*sob*sob*sob*…a…a…a…a dream that…that…that…those…two…*sob*sob*sob*sob*…ex...ext...exterminators…ripped you in…in..In haaaaalfff…I'm so…*sob*…sorry. Clank then said "Ratchet it is okay" he then hugged his friend for a second Ratchet pulled away and sat down he wiped the tears off his fur and held his head in his hands as he sat against a wall. Clank got some tissues off of the night stand. He handed them to his friend who took them he wiped the tears out of his eyes. Clank sat next to his friend. Ratchet said through slightly smaller sobs as he started to calm down. "I…I…I had a dream…err. He sighed…A nightmare that you and Sasha got killed…the thought of the dream caused him to burst into sobs. Clank who was rather concerned then asked " What happened " Ratchet who always had trouble sharing his dreams then said " I don't want to talk about it anymore " . Clank then responded "Please tell me Ratchet I want to help you "Ratchet who was now embarrassed muttered while whipping his eyes "I already told you I had a nightmare that you and Sasha got killed"

Clank looked to his digital clock 3:05AM "It is okay Ratchet "Clank patted his friend

On his furry shoulder. Clank sat down next to his friend who sat there looking down his ears drooped down. Clank sat with his friend in silence for about twenty minutes till eventually Ratchet sighed he then looked to Clank and said " I'm sorry " Clank was a bit surprised after all Ratchet was his best friend and had helped him through everything. Clank then asked " for what, you are a great friend " Ratchet sighed again

" No I'm not I…sniff…I was terrible to you when we first met " Clank looked down for a second then back to his friends watery eyes " Ratchet you are a great friend what did you do all those years ago that made you so upset and what does this have to do with your dream". Ratchet sniffled and stayed quiet for a moment. He then looked back to Clank and said " In that nightmare I had you got ripped in half and I was helpless to do anything you've almost had something happen to you to many times I almost sold you to that R.Y.N.O. salesman all those years ago " . Clank then responded "But…you…you were just kidding…right" Ratchet's ears drooped down even further he then quietly replied " nope…If you hadn't protested I probably would've given you up " *sob*sob*sob* " the dream just reminded me of how many times I've failed you "

Clank then responded in a slightly hurt yet sympathetic tone "R-Ratchet it is okay I said many mean things to you during that first adventure too "Ratchet seemed slightly calmed down by this "I know but you wouldn't have given me away for a R.Y.N.O. and you wouldn't have let me get tortured by Angela in disguise as a thief "Clank then responded "it is okay Ratchet but what does that have to do with your nightmare "

Ratchet sighed for a second "in my dream you were murdered by two of those exterminators it…it just…sniff…" He then said as a tear streamed down his furry cheek "shook me up is all "Clank then said " Ratchet it is okay now you should go back to bed you need rest " Ratchet stood up and swept his little metal friend off his feet pulling him in for a big friendly hug and said " thanks buddy " . He set Clank back down and walked out as he opened the door he turned around and said "goodnight buddy ". He shut the door and quietly let a few tears out that he had held in over Clanks forgiveness. (Quietly)

*sob*sob*sob*. Sasha heard him walking down the hall. She had heard him run down the hall earlier but decided to wait if she heard anything else she heard the quiet sobs she got up still in her pajamas and went out he was walking by her door. He looked over to her and she saw his furry wet cheeks and red eyes. Without thought she embraced him and asked "Ratchet what's wrong ".This caused him to sob once again they stayed there for a few minutes till Sasha broke away and asked " Ratchet what happened " Ratchet looked down then back up to Sasha " I…I…had a dream th...*sob*sob*… that you and Clank got…*sob*sob*sob*sob*…. "What Ratchet what happened to me and Clank". "That

That...you…and Clank got killed *sob*sob*sob*sob*sob*. Sasha then trying to calm him down said " It's okay Ratchet I'm fine so is Clank " Ratchet said through sniffles I…sniff, sniff I know" She then said gesturing towards his room " come on you need some rest " They walked into his room and sat down on the bed he was still letting tears stream down his face he rested his head on her shoulder as she scratched behind his big furry left ear this brought a small smile to his face and although he had stopped sobbing he still had tears coming from his eyes he wiped his eyes and started to calm down. "Why did this upset you so much "She asked still scratching his ear "well…I never told you this but me and Clank didn't get along well when we first met we fought all the time I'd told him that the salt water ought to rust his mouth shut and he said the fresh air would help my brain function better but it's not just that I almost traded him for a R.Y.N.O. If he hadn't retorted I would've given him away then and there" Sasha who was a bit taken aback by this said "its okay Ratchet is Clank mad at you?" "No" "then its okay "She then said "tell me more about your dream "when he remained silent she said "pleeease I want to help you "Ratchet then responded "well when I was on dreadzone there were these green insectoid creatures that I fought and in my dream they were dancing around you cutting you apart then these two big exterminators ripped Clank in half and...Then they ripped my ear off ". Sasha then tugged on his ear and said "well your ears fine and very soft " she said with a smile. He laughed a little " thank you Sasha" Sasha then said

"Clank is in one piece and I wouldn't be here with you if I was dead " Ratchet seemed comforted by this. Sasha then said as she pulled away and pushed him on his back " you need some rest " Ratchet was a bit caught off guard by this and said embarrassed

"Uh…Sasha what are you doing?" "Oh nothing "she said as she stood up and pulled the blankets up to his chin. She kissed him on the forehead " goodnight Ratchet " she got up and walked out and Ratchet let out a sigh of relief as he rolled over and went to sleep.

Well tell me how I did I figured being on Dreadzone would've given Ratchet some nasty nightmares I will right chapter 2 thanks for reading.
