Well, I guess I'll put another chapter up of this story. So here y'all go!
Chapter 3-Reunion
The Lombaxes are awakened by Clank, saying, "Incoming message from the captain of the Phoenix. The, ahem, former-turned-current captain of the Phoenix."
"This is Sasha, looking for Ratchet or Clank." "Hello, miss Sasha." "Oh, hi, Clank. Can I speak with Ratchet?" As Clank turns to the lombaxes, he earns a pair of glares. "He is in the lavatory at the current moment, may I take a message?" "Tell him to get his butt over here now-it's about his species!" "Roger that, thank you, Sasha."
Ratchet and Angela both sweatdrop at the same time, but Clank tells them, "That is not wise." "What, Clank?" The robot sighs, replying, "Do not hide from her, she will find out." Ratchet's response is dead serious, "I know. You can bet your ass, 'cause we're goin' to the Phoenix now."
Angela lifts up her newly-acquired arsenal and places it in her quick select watch, alleviating any stress over the weapons. Ratchet grabs his Battle Rifle, his Lancer, his Annihilator, his Arbiter, his Tesla Barrier, his Kilonoids, and his Hypershot, and Clank turns on his Clank Shocker.
They all hop in the ship and take off for their destination of the Starship Phoenix. Ratchet reaches for the nav computer and selects shuffle mode-it will shuffle through every Rush album he owns.
Angela reaches for the stereo and changes it, playing a bootleg she collected in the past. "What is that?", he asks. "Oh, this is a Rush bootleg I found a long time ago. It's from 1980." Ratchet listens to the music, then realizes what song it is. "Dude-er, umm, that's 2112!" "Yes, believe it or not people have made bootlegs in the past." The two then have a long, in-depth conversation about guitars, bass guitars, and amps that drives Clank insane.
After a few hours, a Galactic Ranger comes on the com-link. "Hey Sarge, you're all clear to land." Ratchet and Angela stop talking and both sit still, thinking about Sasha's feelings towards them. Ratchet is worried that Sasha will try to take him back or not even talk to him, while Angela is worried that Sasha may try to kill her.
The gang jumps out, as the Q-Force stands, waiting for Sasha to step forth. When she does, she stands in shock for a moment at the sight: Ratchet is holding another girl's hand!
"Ratchet, umm, what brings you here?" "Well, Clank told me that you called me and asked that I come here." She thinks for a second, then starts. "Oh, right, we have the info up at the Bridge."
The whole group gets on the transport and gets to the Bridge, where the Archives of the Universe are held, showing identification for each one of the remaining Lombaxes left. Sasha begins the briefing.
"Ok, these are all the Lombaxes left. Most of them are males, which leaves us a clue that the attacker is feminist." Ratchet, trying to lighten the mood, adds in a comment. "Who would that be, Dr. Nefarious?" A few of the soldiers on guard chuckle, but the Q-Force remains stern. "As I was saying," Sasha continues, "it appears to be some sort of suicide bombing chain. We do know that these are not robots, but we do not know what species they are."
The team sits and thinks about it, then Angela speaks up. "It may be that Nefarious guy Ratchet was tal-" "Why should we listen to you, you filthy slu-" BAM!
Ratchet fires his Shock Cannon into the bulletproof ceiling, silencing Sasha. "As you were saying, my dear?", putting an emphasis on my dear, which only further riles Sasha up.
"As I was saying," she says, having ignored Sasha, "Nefarious may be the one behind all this." Al speaks up, "This could easily be true. We never found any of his remains."
Ratchet says, "Well, then we're headed to Mylon! Get my ship ready."
