The Lombax Tales: A Ratchet&Clank fanfiction

A/N: Chappy 4 UP! Have a nice read!

Discaimer: I don't own Ratchet & Clank, Insomniac Games does. I do own every thing I've created, though.

Chapter 4: Action in Abraxus, Core Catastrophe

Spot of Capture, Abraxus Belt, 6.49 PM

The ship arrived at the Abraxus Belt. Al immediately started tracking Nefarious.

"I'll have him tracked in no time. Let's see..."

But while Al worked, Captain Blackstar also was busy..

Villain League Ship, 6.52 PM

Space Pirate Soldiers DK55 and PC94 was playing cards in the living room of the ship, when Captain Blackstar's voice could be heard over the intercom.

"Listen up, pirates!" he spoke with his high voice. "I want three squads for a mission in the Abraxus Belt. You'll have to exterminate some targets..."

DK55 sighed. They left for the ships.

Q-force Ship, 7.10 PM

"This is tricky. The protection is actually good, that's not often." Al said while working.

"Just great," Ratchet sighed. "Do we have time-"

But suddenly, a convoy of about thirty appeared from nowhere and started to shoot.

"Man the attack shuttles!" Sasha commanded.

And so they did, Ratchet and Clank in one, Sasha in one, and Helga, Al and even Quark got one. Skidd stayed to keep Skrunch from wreaking havoc on the ship, and a Ranger piloted.

Abraxus Belt, Action Time!, 7.11 PM

The five attack shuttles left the ship and left Skidd and the Rangers in control.

"You know Clank, it sorta, you know, feels good to be in the action again. But I feel bad at the same time.

Clank thought a little. "I think I understand." he said as Ratchet blasted the first enemy ship to pieces.

"Great job," Sasha said over the comlink, "only 29 ships left!"

"Make that 26." Al replied as Helga had gone on a rampage.

But then, something that wasn't very good happened.

"I'M HIT!" Quark screamed. "I am gonna DIE! ME! I shall retreat to the ship!" And so he did.

"That's just a minor damage." Sasha said, irritated by Qwark's cowardness. "Keep fighting."

"But... but... oh well." Qwark sighed as he launched a missile on one of the ships.

After that, things went smooth. Ratchet easily blasted most of the ships, with Sasha, Al and sometimes Helga assisting. Qwark pretty much didn't do anything. "Hey, it's Wednesday!"

"Great job everybody." Sasha said. "It's just ten... wait, nine," as Ratchet blasted another ship into smithereens, "ships left."

But then, the remaining ships advanced shooting madly everywhere. Bullets struck the plates and shields of the ships. Severely damaged, they were forced to retreat.

"They are too strong," Clank commented, "I think these are their best fighters. Plus, our ammunition is low. We must take cover while recharging."

And so they did, they all retreated to the command ship. Hopefully they would be able to guard themselves from there.

But suddenly, the enemy advanced.

"They're breaking through! Shields down to 40, 30, 20 percent! Ten, they're down!" a Galactic Ranger announced.

And so, an enemy invasion started.

"All submissioned."
