"Welcome, ladies and gents to the annual science fair", said one of the announcers. Today was the annual science fair, one of the few things that this school could enjoy without the worries of the school being in danger or the world nearly ending."As you guys may know, there has been chaos over the years and thanks to the hero named Ratchet,and so we could finally host this special event for all of you guys",said another announcer. Samara looked around rapidly,trying to find Ratchet before the fair started. "Where is he", said Samara impatiently. Before the announcer said another word, Ratchet was right next to her. "What did I miss", said Ratchet. Samara looked at him with annoyed look on her passed a small metal item that looked like a hologram. Samara grabbed it quickly, trying not arouse any suspicion. "I need you to decode this", said Ratchet. Samara looked at him in confusion. "And where did you get this", said Samara. "Looted it off from of the guards at the warehouse 2b", said Ratchet. "Why do I always get into these messes", said Samara. "Fine, lets go",said Samara in an impatient.
"Looks like there's a code imbedded into this transmitter", said Samara. "Yeah but do you know what it says",said Ratchet. Samara grabbed her laptop and connected it to the little metal item. "We only have this type of laptop to decode the code", said Samara. Ratchet looked at her, eyes looking at her suspisciosly. "Ok, now we just need a pint of dark matter to start the process", said Samara. Before she could anything else, there was piercing screech coming from outside the building. " Um, what's that noise", asked Ratchet. "Probably just a ship passing through", said Samara. Ratchet started wondering about that sound. Why would a ship fly so close to the the school, surely something else is going here, though Ratchet. *Screech*, the same noise that Ratchet wondered about was accompinied with an suddden blast earthquakes. "That ain't normal",said Ratchet in quick and rushed voice. "Ratchet!", Samara yelled. Without warning, a metal column fell off of the ceiling, covering everything in a pile of rubble. "What the heck is going on", said Samara. Ratchet grabbed the metal transmitter and made an effort to destroy the blockage holding back. "Dunno but whatever it was ,it trapped us in here", said Ratchet. Samara tried to pick up one of the large boulders but failed as it fell off the pile. "Yeap, we're hosed", said Ratchet. With only minutes away before there ain't no more air, they needed to figure a plan out quickly or they will suffocate in there. "What brilliant plan do you have that will save us", said Samara. " I got nothing but we do have some of the materials to create a x-class dark matter gernade" , said Ratchet. "Then lets do it", said Samara excitedly. "Problem is that we'll be sucked into the vortex or be buried alive",said Ratchet. *Sigh*,both of them were frustrated by the fact that they only had a few minutes to live before the amount of oxygen in the lab was depleted.
"We want to see your amazing projects and hope that all of you guys enjoy this event", said the male announcer. Everyone cheered on, for the hopes that had been lost during the all those years,before the Nexus, were now replaced by the hopes and desire of the people. "Where are they", said Zack. Zack wasn't at there fair because he enjoyed it, the only reason he was the was to support his friend, Samara. "So, I see you're here", said someone from the crowd of students. Zack turned his head to the left, trying to find where the voice originated from. Before he could find the voice there was rumbling coming from the floor. *Scream* Everyone in the vicinity was afraid of what happpend, their joy and desire replaced by fear and dread. "We shall see if your up to the challenge", said the mysterious voice. In a flash, there was an explosion at the main entrance in the only minutes, they were swarmed by robotic bodyguards taking everyone hostage in a blink of an eye. "Target acquired, moving to designated location", said one of the robots in gruff voice. "What a splendid masterpiece", said a commander. There was something different about this commander,he wasn't as tall or strong as the other bots. "You might as well not try to do an offensive attack", said the commander. Behind the crowd of students was Zack, looking at the robot suspiciously. "Bring the one named as Marx", said the commander. One of the robots grabbed one of the students in the crowd. "Excellent", said the commander. Who ever these guys are, they aren't part of N.O.V.A, thought Zack. "Take him aboard the ship", said the commander. Before he could have been taken aboard, Zack jumped in to attack the robotic soldier. "What the...", said the commander. In only seconds,the robot that Zack attacked was on the floor,destroyed,all his weapons gone. "Impressive, you destroyed a robot made with the hardest element known to the universe", said the commander. Now that Zack brung all the heat to himself, the bots will decimate him in a matter of seconds if he doesn't defeat them in the correct way.
"Move back,we only have a few second till the gernade blows and creates a singularity", said Ratchet. Ratchet armed the gernade, stepping back from where the live gernade was. "I don't think this is the bestest idea", said Samara in a worrily tone. "Well, welcome to improvising #64", said Ratchet. *Boom!* The dark matter gernade exploded leaving behind a vortex. "Hold on!", said Ratchet in rushed tone. The vortex started to swalllow anything in it's reach, before Ratchet and Samara were sucked in, Ratchet deployed his swingshot and grappled one of the tables. "We need to hold on till the vortex disappears", said Ratchet. 2 minutes later... "Thank god, we survived", said Samara. Ratchet grabbed Samara's laptop and ran bolted out the room. "Ratchet, hold on", said Samara. She grabbed her backpack and ran out of the room trying to chase after Ratchet. Ratchet stopped at the gym where everyone was supposed to be, but instead he saw the gym abandoned and rubble on the floor. "Where they?", said Ratchet. *Pant* Samara in the same vicinity as Ratchet, she was out of breath when she entered. "Can we.. please stop" ,said Samara. "Samara, they're gone", said Ratchet. *Boom!* Ratchet looked at the blown out wall to see a warship firing upon the Polaris defense force Hq. "We must get there before the place is done for", said Ratchet. Before Ratchet could dart out of the once constructed science fair, his communicator started blinking softly. "If any survivor is listening, go to the hall of heroes or place a beacon that will allow us to get there to you", said a mysterious voice. Ratchet looked at Samara, thinking about the dangers that she would be in if she came with him. "Samara, take this", said Ratchet. Ratchet gave her one of the transmitter that he earned by helping N.O.V.A . "Take this and get to the Museum of Solaris", said Ratchet. Samara looked at him in confusion but still accepting the transmitter. "Um, thanks", said Samara. "I need you to go to the hall of heroes", said Ratchet. "I ain't leaving anyone behind", said Samara. "You won't, just get over there, an old friend will be there to help",said Ratchet. Samara looked at him suspiciously. "I'll go but I expect you to come back in piece", said Samara in annoyed tone. Ratchet nodded to Samara, with a reassuring look on his face. Before she could jump, she tossed Ratchet one of her prototype gloves, the Atomic Sky. "Ratchet, make sure that you don't use it too much, it's still malfunctioning so the safe amount you could use is 3 strikes, pass that it'll malfunction and start destroying anything in it's path, is that clear", said Samara. Ratchet didn't say anything, he looked at the glove,but he did listen to the warning about her weapon. Ratchet took his eyes off the Atomic Sky and nodded, acknowledging her. "Be careful, and get to the museum safely", said Ratchet. "You too and also, good luck", said Samara. She jumped off the the building and landed on a destroyed platform. Ratchet looked at her, grinning. "Well then it's time I get out of this place", said Ratchet. With one deep breath he jumped, falling to the unknown cloud. In only a few seconds of almost reaching the clouds below, he turned his hoverboots and flew toward one of the ship hangers. Ratchet only has 1 hour to save everyone in the Polaris Defense Force Hq.
