Chapter 3:
It felt like hours trying to get rid of the Jolves that where on the Lombaxes' tails. Alister was pushing his hoverboots to maxium power, he needed to be faster than the golden creatures. Taking a quick glance down at the unconcious Ratchet, who was craddled carefully in his arms. That bite wound looked pretty terrible. Normally his leg would of been bleeding still, however it stopped. It seemed that the green goo that came from the alpha Jolf's mouth, stopped the blood escaping his body.
It might have been good that the bleeding stopped, but whatever that gooey liquid was, it couldn't of been great. Alister had to find a way to get the younger to safety. He had to find a way to contact Clank. Where was Aphelion when you needed her?
One of the electric Jolves manged to rip a chunk of tail fur out of Azimuth's tail tip. He yelped, and tried to go faster and concentrated more on his path. They were catching up quick. If he didn't get our of this cave soon enough, then he's sure they'll both end up joining those nasty animals for dinner.
Making a sharp turn, the elder Lombax could finally see light from an enterance. This was they way out! If he just kept going a little longer, him and Ratchet would get out of there alive.
Switching on his communicator, he contacted Ratchet's starship. "Aphelion! Where are you?" He yelled down the microphone. Hopefully she had their location, and could find them easily and quickly to be picked up. "I need you to pick us up at out location. We're just coming up at an exit."
"Affermative, General. Tracking you now...Found your position. I will be there soon." She replied, in a soft voice like normal. Even in a situsation like this, she'll always have the same kinda tone of voice...unless something makes her angry.
Alister sighed in relief. Don't worry, Ratchet. We'll be home by the time you wake up. He whispered in his mind. And he was right, he just about made out Aphelion outside the enterance. Thank god. No-one was killed. No-one got left behind. He must admit, they were quite lucky today. Well apart from Kaden's son. Alister huffed in discomfort. If he just protected the younger more, then this would of properly never of happened to him.
The Lombax starship opened her hanger, and let the General quickly, but carefully, jump into the seat with Ratchet still in his broad arms. He punched in the coordinates to Planet Torren IV, where his home was since being exiled by the other Lombaxes after Tachyon's attack, and where Clank was waiting for them.
Aphelion took off, leaving behind a crowd of Jolves that where angry for it taking their meal away. In a few minutes they reached space, and went into warp-drive. Alister contacted Clank to tell the robot that they were both on their way back.
"Clank, come in. Do you read me?" The elder Lombax asked the small metal robot. He just hoped he would pick up the holo-phone soon. Ah, there we are.
"I read you General. I hope everything turned out okay. Did it?" Clank replied, quite worried. He just wished that non of them Lombaxes got seriously hurt from their little mission.
"Yes everything turned out alright...kinda." He said the last part of the sentence slowly. The younger's friend gave him that 'what happened this time?' look. He sighed lowly. "Well, we ended getting stuck in this cave being catched by these Jolves. The alpha got hold of Ratchet's leg and bit down pretty deep. I don't know what really happened, but this strange goo came out of the Jolf's mouth and spit onto Ratchet's freshly open wound." Azimuth explained in detail. He really didn't want Clank hating him after this. After all, he was kind of his fault for not protecting the younger good enough to make him end up in the state he's in.
"Strange goo." He repeated. "I...see. Just get here quickly and see what will happen from there. Clank out." The metal robot sighed under his breath. Before he finished the short conversation, he said sadly, "I just hope he will be okay." And turned off the comunication.
Alister frowned. "So do I." Putting Ratchet on the other seat next to him carefully, he grabbed the wheel and turned off the auto-pilot. He switched off the warp-drive and had Torren IV in his sight. He swiftly controlled the ship down towards the busy moving planet.
OMG! Here's chapter 3 people! Hope you like it ^^; And oh god, Clank is finally making an appearance in the story XD
