Out of the open, Clank jumps on Angela. He gives her a fist in the face. Clank also bit her arm where she held the syringe. The syringe she carried fell on the floor and shattered into many tiny pieces.
"Ouch! What the blarg?" Angela said as she looked down on the robot. Angela also looked down on the serum that remained on the floor. She placed her right hand over her face. "You, scum! Secret Agent Clank I thought you were knocked out."
"Here is the favorite part of my day. Do not mess with Agent Clank. As you can see I was faking my unconsciousness waiting for my turn to strike. And I couldn't have chosen a better opportunity. Now it seems the tables have turned." Clank explains.
"That was a foul move Agent Clank." Angela scoffs.
Ratchet overheard the ruckus. He opened his eyes and said, "You just saved my life Clank... I don't know what to say."
"Do not worry about that, lets take out this cretin." Clank said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Angela pauses and says, "Let me introduce my two favorite guns to you. These are my babies." Angela said as she reached for her breasts. Ratchet wasn't the one to want to look at live action like this. It looked like Angela was going to take off her top, but instead Angela pulled out something that was in there, it was probably stuffed in her bra to make her babies look bigger. Ratchet looked away in disgust as did Clank.
"Meet my Volatile Venom Launcher V5! With this I can shoot streams of venomous acid. It is enough to kill you. And this gun is called S.P.E.W, or you can call it super powerful endoplasmic weapon! Angela announces.
Ratchet noticed Talwyn was moving. Her hands were moving a little. They needed Talwyn now more than ever.
"Clank go see if Talwyn is okay, I'll try to handle this woman." Ratchet says.
"Understood." Clank runs to Talwyn who was on the ground, "Talwyn you must get up Ratchet is in deep danger!"
The poor markazian seemed to have no life in her. Energy from her body was depleted. Clank kept tugging on Talwyn, and repeating the same line, but it failed. Clank then spots something. He saw that Talwyn opens her eyes, they weren't fully open. She spoke a little bit but her words were too soft to understand. Then Talwyn gripped her hand and made it into a fist, she regained consciousness. Talwyn got up slowly with Clank's help. Clank gives her a warm smile and tells her about the dire situation.
"Talwyn, you have to heal Ratchet..." Clank tells her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Angela approached Ratchet with her venom gun. She pointed it directly at Ratchet and said, "Don't move you two or else he gets it."
Talwyn and Clank were frozen, they didn't want to do anything rash. Talwyn saw Ratchet who seemed in pain. But she soon realized his expression wasn't about his wounds, but about his friends. He showed concern more than fear. She gazed upon his head.
"I'm so sorry for what I've gotten you guys into... But how should I tell them? Beating my self up with my thoughts wont do any good." was what Ratchet thought.
"Lawrence, take them to the cage." Angela told her butler.
"Which cage may I ask?" Lawrence questioned.
"Module A, the ones who are to be exterminated." Angela said.
Clank gasped as well as Talwyn. Clank saw Gears getting taken away first because of her condition. Suddenly Talwyn waves her hand, she looked towards Gears and yelled, "Healing Hand!" The bright aura surrounded Gears, she regained her consciousness and didn't realize what was going on.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Who da hell are you boi?" Gears said as she looked at Lawrence.
"Ma'am my name is Lawrence, the butler of Miss Angela. Formerly Dr. Nefarious' butler." said Lawrence.
"Where are you taking me?" she asked.
"To the cage of inescapable torment." he answered.
Gears became serious and looked towards the ceiling. She noticed that stalactite was growing on the top. Gears brain stormed a plan, with proper timing it would work.
"Sir, I am sorry for my inept yelling, but please let me down; I must say my last words." Gears pleaded, her voice had a sad tone.
"Alright; you've got 10 seconds." Lawrence said as he put her down on the ground.
"Sucker!" yells Gears, as she looked at the ceiling. She began dancing and swirling around. "Have a taste of my power!" she said as she began emitting sonic pink waves of destruction towards the stalactite on top. The stalactite crumbled and showered on Lawrence, he remained on the floor without any signs of consciousness. She then fired her pink waves towards Angela. They hit Angela, but she was still alive.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Owie! Hah, that's all you got Ms. Gears?" Angela taunts her.
"Gurl, you don't know what yo' up against. Now, get dat gurl Ratchet!" says Gears.
Angela turns around to see that Ratchet was gone; she noticed that Talwyn and Clank took him. Angela's attention was shifted towards Talwyn. Suddenly, Gears started dancing and firing giant lasers towards the stalactite above Angela. It started to crumble, but it didn't fall down fast enough. Angela dodged her attack.
"What is this? Festival of cheaters? First Clank sucker punched me, then you try smashing me with stalactite while you tricked me saying Ratchet was going to attack!?" Angela said frustrated.
"It's called strategy gurl, and you a'int got none. So you betta stop 'fore we f*** ya up. Ya hear gurl? F*** ya up. Ooh she be trippin' tryin' ta kill us? Callin' us cheata's; gurl if I wasn't so nice I woulda whooped yo' ass a million times by now. Der's fo' of us, en one of you, so you betta prepare yo self. " this was the speech given by Gears.
Talwyn casts Healing Hand on Ratchet. He began to slowly get up with the help of Talwyn. Ratchet, Clank, Talwyn, and Gears start closing in on Angela. She was wounded by the lasers Gears shot at her. Slowly but steadily she began walking backwards until she reached a wall. They cornered her and started asking questions. Gears started first.
"Gurl, what color is mah underwear?"
"Umm... plaid?" Angela answers.
"Wrong!" Gears said as she smacked Angela's cheek.
Ratchet along with Talwyn and Clank look at her. She stopped asking such dumb questions. Clank asked the next question.
"Miss Cross, how did you get here?"
"Like I said I don't know." she answered.
"Tell us the truth before I kill Ratchet." Clank said. His voice was serious.
Ratchet looked at Clank funny. He thought, "Kill me? Clank couldn't hurt a Blargian Fly..." Clank looked at Ratchet and winked. Ratchet knew that his friend had a plan.
"Kill my Ratchet? Hah, you wouldn't do such a thing!" Angela says acting tough.
Clank pulls out a big rock from his pocket. The rock was huge! It would crush the small nature of Ratchet. Angela gasped. The interrogation kept going with Clank asking the same question over and over again. She finally cracked.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay! Damn, I confess. The whole Solana Galaxy was engulfed by a huge wormhole. That's what I remember." Angela said.
"Solana Galaxy? What were you doing outside the Bogon Galaxy?" Ratchet asks.
"Well.. You see... I was heading over to your house to take pictures of you. I got one when you were taking a shower but I couldn't see any of your—," Angela was interrupted.
"WHY THE *BLEEP* WERE YOU TAKING PICTURES OF ME!?" Ratchet yells. He had a killer intent. His eyes were furious and he held his wrench out ready to kill.
"I always do that on Monday," Angela said.
Talwyn gave herself a facepalm. In her head she thought, "Hmm so this is how that Sasha girl got here.. And I wonder if she made copies of that photo..."
"Well thank you for your time Miss Cross; we will now knock you out. Thank you for your cooperation." Clank formally said.
Ratchet brashly struck her with his Omniwrench. The woman gave out a small shriek and fell down on the floor. Her final words that they heard from her were, "Ratchet I love you. Don't leave me."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ratchet and his group had no regrets about anything. They decided to rest from their battle they had just fought. They inspected the room and it was humongous. Clank sat on a chair conveniently located nearby. So did Gears. Ratchet sat on the throne of Angela's. Talwyn went up to him and sat on his lap. Ratchet's thoughts were raging and so were his hormones. Clank and Gears stared at the spectacle.
"Talwyn... theres a seat over there...." Ratchet was blushing.
"Oh.. Heh heh sorry, I got carried away." she was too blushing.
They took a rest for a few minutes. They shared laughs and exchanged some of their feelings about what happens if they are to die. Ratchet's posse headed towards the seal behind Angela's throne after their break.
