I do not own Ratchet and Clank (I wish I Did) This is for entertainment purposes only

Brynjolf sat on his bed trying to figure out if and when he was going to tell the hand about Ratchet.

Part of him wanted to strangle Ratchet for deceiving him and the rest of his friends; but he knew Ratchet was a friend and he couldn't do that.

I want to tell them as soon as they wake up. But i can't, they would be distracted during the attack. Its settled, i will tell them when we get back. Brynjolf thought to himself.

Brynjolf stood up from his bed and woke everyone up, because he was the early riser of the motley crew and he served as their alarm clock every morning.

"Alright, everyone get up!" Brynjolf yelled

Everyone woke up and prepared themselves for the attack on the guard.

Brynjolf sharpened and polished his daggers.

Shooter practiced with his new crossbow.

Snake got his blood pumping by doing one handed pushups.

Slick studied the books that he got in sixty-sevens supply room.

Ratchet did some last minute touches to his own armor and sword that he was forging.

Breach was trying on a new set of gauntlets that he found in the supply room.

Brynjolf finished sharpening his daggers and he called a meeting.

"Ok everyone, lets go over the mission. I am going to sneak into fort Dustwall and free the prisoners that they have locked up there."

Brynjolf looked to Snake, "Snake you will get the gate open from the inside"

Brynjolf then looked to Breach. "Breach, I want you to help Ratchet with the wagon, speaking of which where is Ratchet?"

"Right here" Ratchet said as he walked through the doorway wearing his newly forged armor.

Snake stood up and examined Ratchets armor. it had a very shiney silver tint and it had engraving on the breastplate.

"That is nice armor, but I don't recognise the metal" Snake said

"It is titanium, stronger than iron and steel, it will protect from anything short of a ballista"

"Titanium huh, I never heard of it"

"It's a mixture of different metals, my sword is also made of it" Ratchet drew his sword to show it off.

The sword also had engraving up the whole double edged blade and on the hilt.

Brynjolf walked over to Ratchet and Snake. "That is some nice armor Ratchet, but we have to discuss this attack"

Ratchet nodded and followed Brynjolf to the rest of the group.

"As I was saying Ratchet and breach, your jobs are to get the weapons wagon into place"

Ratchet and Breach nodded.

"Slick, I want you to do what you do best and talk the townspeople into fighting"

Slick grinned "what would you guys do without my outstanding people skills"

Everyone laughed a bit at Slicks comment.

"That leaves you Shooter, I want you on a rooftop watching our backs with your crossbow"

"Okay, everyone got it?"

They all nodded their heads.

"Good lets move"

Everyone left to get to their objectives. Ratchet had a chance to talk to Brynjolf.

"So, are you going to tell them or what"

"Yes I am going to tell them, but not right away, I want everyone going into this with a clear head."

Ratchet nodded and left Brynjolf's side to find Breach.

Ratchet found Breach, they stole a wagon and filled it with the swords and axes from the storage room.

They pushed the wagon to the nearby town where they waited Slick to "inspire" the townsfolk to fight.

Slick

Slick walked into the shabby little town where he stepped on top of a crate and started to gather a crowd.

"Everyone, gather round. You have been spit on and killed by the king for the last time. He looks at you and he sees pests to be rid of. Do you want to live like this? I sure know I don't."

The crowd started to cheer, which made Slick smile.

"Come brothers and sisters, a few friends of mine have procured a wagon full of arms to be used against the tyrant's men. what do you say, lets take our city back!"

The mob roared as they followed Slick to the weapons wagon.

The crowd took all of the weapons and they went to fight but Slick told them to wait until the gate of the fort was opened.

Snake

After Brynjolf snuck into the fort undetected, Snake snuck to the gate control and started to crank it.

The sound attracted some guards and they started to investigate.

Snake hid behind a wooden pillar and waited to silently dispatch the guards.

The guards turned the corner. Snake blasted the first guard in the side of the head with his spiked gauntlet, knocking him out cold.

The second guard drew his sword and swung at Snake.

Snake ducked and the guards sword got lodged into the pillar he was hiding behind.

Snake grinned and punched the guard in the gut which knocked the wind out of him.

Snake then got behind him and put him in a sleeper hold.

The guard struggled for a few seconds but he gave in and passed out.

Snake continued to lower the gate. Once he finished The angry mob of civilians that Slick gathered poured through the gate.

Brynjolf emerged from the bowels of the fort with seven prisoners who were supposed to be beheaded later that day for not paying taxes.

Ratchet and Breach joined into the crowd. The Commander of the fort stepped out and seen the mob of rebels inside of his fort.

Brynjolf stepped up "You have two choices Commander, surrender and I promise you and your men will be treated fairly. Or fight, and die with your men, make your choice, nobody has to die"

"I may die, but the guard never surrenders" The commander replied

"So be it, attack!"

But before they attacked a dozen Praetorian Guardsman emerged from secret tunnels behind the rebels.

Each of the guardsman were armed with a crossbow and a short sword, and they wore light leather armor.

The guardsmen unleashed a flurry of bolts at the rebels.

One of the bolts was headed straight for Brynjolf, at the last second Ratchet jumped in front of the bolt and deflected it off of his armor.

Ratchet looked over his shoulder and nodded to Brynjolf.

Shooter dropped seven of the guards that were shooting at the rebels from a distance.

Ratchet, Brynjolf and Snake Charged the remaining crossbow wielding guardsman.

Ratchet drew his titanium sword and slashed the first guard across the chest, knocking him out of the fight.

Snake beat down a few with his Spiked gauntlets and he slashed another across the throat with his sword.

Brynjolf wounded the last and disarmed him.

The group charged at the Commander but before they tried to kill him he turned into a coward and surrendered.

Brynjolf put the tip of his dagger against the Commanders throat.

"You should have made that decision sooner"

With that Brynjolf drove his dagger into the Commanders throat killing him on the spot.

Brynjolf turned around and addressed the civilians that helped them fight.

"First off, I would like to thank all of you for your help, I can offer you sanctity from the kings men, if you want to keep helping us, come with us to our hideout"

With that Brynjolf and the hand walked away, most of the civilians followed them to fort crimson as well.

When they arrived Brynjolf called a meeting and the hand went to a private place to talk.

The group sat at a large round table with six seats Brynjolf started to speak.

"There is something I found out yesterday, and before i tell you i want to make it clear that we all will be civil"

The group nodded their heads.

"After we got back from the supply room, I noticed Ratchet acting odd"

All eyes were on Ratchet now.

"So I followed him to another part of the fort where I found him talking to somebody. When he walked out of the room I pounced on top of him thinking he was a plant by the king, but I was wrong. I don't know how exactly to say this so I will just be blunt, Ratchet is from the future".

Everyone seemed tense at those words, Snake was the first to speak.

"Prove it"

Now Ratchet looked a bit tense.

"I will have my friend tell you, because he understands time travel better than I do".

"And who is your friend?" Shooter asked

"Clank!" Ratchet hollered

"Your...cat?"

"Not exactly" Clank said as he climbed through the broken window on the door.

Everyone's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates.

"I was once an artificial lifeform or robot built by the Zoni"

"I thought the Zoni were just an old campfire tale" Slick stated

"Not at all, they are very real. Myself and Ratchet were doing maintenance on a very complex piece of machinery called the great clock, it is built in the center of the universe and it literally keeps the universes time. It malfunctioned and sent us here".

"I'm speechless" Shooter said. Everyone nodded

"Well, you don't have to worry about me, I am a friend and I am going to help you guys win this fight until I find a way back to my time".

"Now that you all know Ratchets secret, can you live with it?"

Everyone thought about it for a few seconds before they said "We can live with it, for all we know Ratchet could be our wild card"

"That is another thing i would like to share. I am your only chance of winning this. In the old books I read, it says that the rebellion was crushed by the Kings main commander singlehandedly. But believe me when I say this, it wont happen if i'm here".

Everyone nodded and started plotting their next move against the king.

So this was a B**** to write. I hope you guys/girls liked it, i had writers block really bad with this chapter that is why it is so late. Please review, it feeds my writing, the more reviews i get the more i pump out. I love you guys (Evil Ratchet Out!).
