Ratchet and Clank still owned by Insomniac Games!
I'll try to make the chapters shorter, by doing this the number of chapters will be raised!~ XD
And I'll try to have less dialogue and more descriptions, explanations, as well as character development.

As Talwyn approached the bed she smiled at Ratchet. She snuggled up in the bed and reached for Ratchet's butt.
"Forgive me Ratchet!" she thought as she pulled out the tracking device. She was red like a Floranian Blood Fly. Her mind was rushing with unnecessary thoughts, she could not fall asleep at all. Then Talwyn tried closing her eyes, but all she could see was Ratchet's posterior in her head. She finally wore herself out with her thoughts and fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
7:00 AM
Ratchet lets out a big yawn and stretches. He saw that Gears and Clank were awake, he says to them, "Good morning... Is Talwyn alright?" As soon as Ratchet asked that he heard faint noises from the person next to him in bed.
Talwyn got up and said, "Hey, what did I miss?" She obviously tried to play dumb with what happened earlier in the morning.
Ratchet runs up to Talwyn and glomps her, "You're okay! You're okay! You had us very worried!"
"Heheh, don't worry about me, take care of yourselves." Talwyn says.
Ratchet scratched his left fuzzy ear and whispered to her, "Well... what did you need to say at the mountain? I really want to know."
Intrigued by the question Talwyn embraces her right hand with her left. Ratchet then takes one of her hands and anticipates. She tells him, "I wanted to say.... holy protopet! Get your sweaty hands off my smooth fair dainty ones! Yes, thats what I wanted to say. You're a freakin' slob! Get away from me! " She said this as a tear passed down her cheek. Nobody noticed the invisible drop.
Ratchet pauses and looks down to the floor, he was apparently angry. "You had us risk our lives just call me a slob?! Look at you, you're not Ms. Metropolis because you're the hottest babe I know!" Ratchet quickly stops there and starts to blush. He accidentally said the wrong word. He looks towards Clank. "What the hell did I just get into?!"
"Hottest babe? Me? Is this true? Nobody ever called me this but Zephyr..." thinks Talwyn.
"Ratchet I understand you're angry and that you've lost your mind. But please lets put this behind us and get out of here." Talwyn says trying to assure her lombax friend.
"Yeah, I guess your right. Let's head to the Fire Temple." Ratchet says as he walked towards the door. "I'm sorry Talwyn, I overreact way too much. I guess I am not the social type... Will I ever be? I haven't changed since I met Clank, not one bit at all... Well except maybe my undeniably good looks, and my humor, other than that... No I haven't changed..."
Talwyn was looking at Ratchet's head the whole time as they exited the inn.
"I hear you Ratchet." she said as she embraced him, "I haven't changed one bit too."
Ratchet stares at her in amusement. "What!? Can you read minds or something?"
"Oh wait what?" she was hesitant, "I guess I'm just still hallucinating from all this trouble Clank got us into."
"Hey! It is not my fault Ratchet chose such a meaningless game!" Clank says angrily.
"Well no time to lose lets get to the temple." Ratchet says as they walk out of the town.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They all were hoping that Gears knew where to go so Clank asks her, "Babe, do you have an idea where to go?"
She places her right hand on her right hip. "Course I know boi, we have to find a giant hole in the ground which leads us to the temple."
"Well how are we gonna find a giant hole in the middle of this open field!?" Talwyn asks.
They all remained quiet as they squinted to find a hole. The place they were at currently was a giant lush green field. There were scarcely any trees, and lots of wildlife. Clank spots a giant mound of dirt.
"That must be it! Over there, due north of where I am at." Clank says.
Gears takes a gander, "Yep that is it! Let's move."
They all head toward the pit. Halfway there, Gears says, "Be careful, there are flying bats on fire in there!"
"Don't forget about the zombies that are on fire." Ratchet says.
"Ooh! How I'd love to meet one in real life!" Gear says.
They now stand next to the mound where the fire temple was located inside of. There were small echoes of tormented shrieks, and they heard many faint noises inside. Groaning of the zombies was the first thing. Talwyn did not want to go inside at all. Clank tugged on Talwyn's leg and sucked his thumb.
"Come on guys it a'int so bad. The zombies aren't like the ones in the those cheap ass movies. These ones are cartoon-like!" Gears said.
"Don't toy with me Gears. I've had enough of it." Talwyn said as she reluctantly stepped into the hole.
Clank lets out a sigh. "Who will replace Secret Agent Clank if I am to die in here?"
They trudged the narrow, and dark path. The heat was getting to them. Meanwhile they heard some strange laughter and noises. They understood the voices; there were two of them, and they were afraid to move on, but slowly they did. The first voice was a bit gentle and sarcastic, but the second voice was girly.

Deeper in the Temple
"It appears we have more guests." the first voice said, "They seem to be heavily armed."
"Finally some real fun! Time to enslave more people! My dream is soon to be accomplished!" the other voice said.
Little do Ratchet and his posse know what they have just stumbled upon. Not only a new villain emerges, but the heat of battle looms in the air. Will Ratchet and his posse make it out alive? Stay tuned...
