"Man…I've never dreamed Vorselon could disappear!" Ratchet muttered to himself as ran through Vorselon's ship.
After he had defeated Vorselon, he had been searching Alister Azimuth and he finally came across a door of the last room. Taking his blaster out, he carefully opened it. There was no enemy in the room, but he found something white figure in a cage. He noticed what it was in no time.
"General!" Ratchet exclaimed but no answer was given.
Suddenly, the yellow Lombax found white-blue electrical energies coming from the other rooms and it connecting with the cage. He understood what he had to next, he run into the next room.
A few moment later, Ratchet had succeed to shut down all devises which making energies, he came back the first room. He found a bolt on the bottom of the cage.
"Okay. So this is the last one." The yellow Lombax muttered, he pulled out the bolt with his wrench, waited the elder getting out from the cage. But no one came out. A puzzled look formed Ratchet's face.
"General? You can come down now." Ratchet tried to peek inside of the cage but due to his short height, he could only see the elder's moveless hand.
He wondered if the elder was sleeping because he did not come here sooner. Whatever it would be better for them to leave this ship, he thought. There were still many troops in it.
Finally, Ratchet decided to climb up the cage. He managed to cling the edge of the cage's floor after few attempts, lifted himself up with his arms. When the yellow Lombax looked inside of it, his emerald eyes widen. There was not the elder Lombax, but a stranger lying on the floor.
The stranger was a Lombax. The Lombax had a tail, so Ratchet knew the stranger was male. He had a white fur with red stripes. Judging from his body size, he was same or younger than Ratchet. The yellow Lombax tried to see the white Lombax's face but could not see because the other's hand hiding his face.
"Hello? Are you okay?" Ratchet whispered but no answer and moves were given. The yellow Lombax noticed the other was unconscious.
"Poor boy. He must be badly treated by Vorselon." Muttering to himself, Ratchet climbed up he cage, he raised the white Lombax in his arms. When he saw the other's face, a gasp escaped his lips as his eyes widen. The white Lombax's face was too familiar with one Lombax and his wears were all same as someone. Ratchet could not believe it first, but there was no doubt.
"G-General!?"
Suddenly, an alarm started beeping, Ratchet tensed his body. The sound of troops was getting louder and louder. There was no time to thinking. He quickly carried the powerless Lombax on his back, jumped off the cage. It was very strange for the yellow Lombax to have one, who had being twice as big as him few hours ago, strapped to his back.
When Ratchet found an empty elevator not far from him, he ran to it as feel the other's fur on his face.
