Here's the new chapter of Born This Way! Thank God it's the weekend. I can now do whatever I want. When I get up tomorrow, I'm heading right for my PS3 and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One. Well, without further delay, let's start.

Your POV:

You and Ratchet made your way over to the Plaza, and you spotted Azimuth. "Azimuth!" You would ask what your father's name was, but right now, it doesn't seem like it's the right time. Only a few seconds later, more robots are sent your way…and one grabs you by the back of your neck. You try to get away, but it's no use. The spinning blade comes dangerously close your neck…

And then there's a loud crash, and your feet hit the ground. You smile. "Thanks Ratchet, I owe one…again." You said sheepishly.

Alister comes over to you. "Are you both alright?" He asks. When you nodded, he turned away. "Pollyx diverted all traffic away from the building. We'll have to find another point of entry. Come, I have someone on the inside who may be able to help us."

"Someone who works for Nefarious?" Ratchet asked. What's Nefarious' deal with organic life anyway? Seriously, what did living things ever do to him?

Alister shook his head. "Actually, he's a data miner at Pollyx Industries. I saved him from becoming food for the Agorians." Agorians? Hm…where have you heard that name before? You know you have somewhere, it's right there on the tip of your tongue, but you just can't remember where or when. It was defiantly recently though.

Azimuth goes over to some device attached on the wall and presses a few buttons. Within moments, a full-scale image of one of those squid-things appears. And like the rest, he doesn't look too happy. "Azimuth? What are you doing on this frequency-the entire city is looking for you!" Wow, seriously? Whatever Azimuth did, it must've been pretty bad.

"I'm here to cash in on that favor, Jarvis. We need a way inside Pollyx industries."

"I knew one day you'd make me an accomplice to terrorism! I'll run a diagnostic on the security system-in the meantime, you'd better take cover. Another security team is closing in!"

Just as Jarvis said, more robots arrived. You were really starting to hate this Nefarious guy.

(Fast Forward)

You're standing next to the projection of Jarvis, your eyes following Ratchet as he zooms all over the place on hoverboots to activate switches. You would help him, but this is really more of a one-person job and Ratchet can do it by himself anyway. Although, you feel weird just standing there. You're already used to go-go-smash-destroy robots-go some more. You sigh, feeling bored and…a bit useless.

Finally, after what seems like forever, Ratchet runs over the last switch and turns it green. You can proceed. Jarvis seems happy. "You did it! Conduit is ionized. You should be able to slingshot over the plaza and into Pollyx industries."

You meet up with Alister and Ratchet at the top of the conduit. Jarvis talked him through the rest of the security. You look out toward the slingshot. "This is it. Our only way into the building…last chance to back out."

Ratchet smirks. "Age before beauty, General."

Alister laughs in response. "Wiseguy! Just like your father. And Kiari, what about you?"

"And do what, stand here until an alarm goes off?"

"You are most certainly your mother's daughter."

Following them in, you can't help but look at Azimuth. He knew your mother really well…and he seems to miss her a lot, and Ratchet's dad too. It…must be really awkward for him, to be working alongside you and Ratchet instead of your mother and his father. They must've been really close. You wonder if you had anything like that. Alister's really got you thinking lately. Is that good or bad?

Once you reach the building, an alarm almost immediately goes. Nothing can ever be simple, can it? "Attention. A bioscan reveals three Lombaxes in main server room. Mobilizing all units."

"Oh, fuck." You mutter. Oh well, at least it's good exercise.

"Blasted bioscans." Alister cursed. "You take the left, I'll cover the right."

(Fast Forward)

Alister smashes through the floor, and you jump in after him and Ratchet and land in a computer room. Some people turn their heads to look at you, and a robot goes for the security button to alert others…only Alister destroys it. Ha ha.

Ratchet goes to interrogate one of those dorks on a computer. However, said dork pushes Ratchet out of his face. Ratchet actually listens until the guy is finished talking… "If you intend to manhandle me, I'll have you know I am a level 60 wizard," He actually looks proud of that, wow. "With melee ability!" …And then Ratchet whacks at him, and he spins out of control and falls onto the ground. "That hurt my pride! Ow…and my solar plexus…"

You only roll your eyes in response and stay next to Ratchet. Alister goes to the computer. "It looks like there's an Obsidian Eye somewhere in Krell Canyon…I…can't lock on any closer."

On the giant computer screen above, a…there's a robot there. He flicked onto the screen. He's purple, mostly, with hints of silver but he's got a giant green dome head. What the hell-who is he? He looks directly at Ratchet. "Greetings, my old friend! Been a long time. I'm thrilled you're here to witness my greatest triumph!" The screen zooms in on his eyes. "And look, you've met the elder. Pity one of the first Lombaxes you meet is the shame…of his entire race!"

You growl in response. "Don't you talk about him like! I'll turn you into scrap metal!" You immediately shout. That man was your mother's best friend-you had history with him before you were born!

The robot only laughs at you in response. "Oh, the first Lombax you met was the product of shame." You raise an eyebrow. Product of shame? Were your parents not married when they had you or something? What does he mean by…product of shame?

You're about to shatter the TV into little pieces, and Ratchet notices. He puts his hand on your shoulder. "So what is it this time Nefarious? You still trying to turn everyone into robots, or is it just good old-fashioned galactic domination?"

"Part of me wants to let you live long enough to find out-the other part, really wants to kill you." Oh hell no. This asshole is gonna shatter like glass instead of metal if he so much as lays a hand on Ratchet and you'll destroy him-wait, that's Nefarious! "You know, for old time's sake. Decisions, decisions, decisions." The screen goes to that writing you can't understand, probably saying there's some type of error in the system.

An alarm goes off. "Attention. VX-99 detected. Evacuate all stations."

Ratchet gives a small smile. "Well, at least we know what he went with."

(Fast Forward)

Getting back outside, you see there's a giant robot attacking the city! It looks kind of like a giant green light bulb-defiantly Nefarious' design.

Alister stood to you and Ratchet. "That thing will level the entire city just to get to us. I'll cover you from the air. Just find a way to stall it."

"Stall it! It's the size of a building!" Ratchet shouted.

Yeah, I really need to start moving this story along, wow. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. See you then!

Bye for now!
