They were soon flying into space. Ratchet: "Kim, contact Wade."
Kim was able to do just that. Wade: "Hey, guys, what's up?"
Clank shifted himself closer to the view of the screen. Clank: "Hello again, Wade." Wade: "Clank!? Is that you!? Oh my gosh! I can't believe it!" Kim: "That's not all. Look who else is here with us."
Clank held up Rufus on the palm of his hand. Rufus: "Hi." Wade: "Whoa! Rufus is there, too!? Ron! Come over here! You have to see this!" Ron: "What? I'm coming!"
Ron appeared on the screen. Ron: "What is it, Wade?"
He became immediately became startled upon noticing Clank. Ron: "Clank!?" Clank: "Hello, Ron. It is good to see you again." Rufus: "Hi." Ron: "Rufus! Buddy! Oh! I've missed you so much!"
Rufus whimpered, as he felt the same. Clank: "Yes, Rufus has also missed you, Ron." Ron: "Oh, you guys, you just made me feel the best I've ever…hork!"
He then rushed off the screen; he was heard throwing up again. Ratchet, Kim, Clank and Rufus all had disturbed and concerned looks on their faces. Ratchet: "I take it his unusual stomach pains haven't gotten any better." Wade: "No, he's still upchucking meat cakes." Rufus: "Huh?" Clank: "Um, am I missing something here?" Wade: "Oh, right, you didn't know about what's been going on. You see, the past few days, Ron has been undergoing some bizarre stomach pains which occurred around the same time that these strange time anomalies have taken place." Ratchet: "Also, Kim has been experiencing some on and off headaches that also started around that time." Kim: "Wade looked into this and from what we were able to find, we realized that none of these occurrences could be a coincidence, so I came all the way out here to find out why all of this was happening since the source of the anomalies were traced back to somewhere around here."
Clank seemed very alarmed from hearing this. Clank: "Oh, no! All of this occurred because Dr. Nefarious damaged the Great Clock. I am sorry that you both had to go through all of what you did." Kim: "Oh, don't get all worked up about it, Clank. What could you have done to prevent it?"
Clank seemed very happy to have been reassured. Wade: "Not only that, but part of the mystery was why the time anomalies were causing their conditions in the first place." Clank: "Well, yes, there is that." Wade: "But thanks to Ratchet, we've managed to figure out a lot of why this had been happening." Ron: "Whoa! Hold up! What did you just say?"
Almost instantly, Ron rushed back on to the screen. Ron: "You guys know why these anomalies have been causing KP's headaches and me to throw up meat cakes?" Wade: "That's right, Ron." Ratchet: "When Kim collapsed from one of her headache attacks, she blurted out "Tempus Simia". From there, Wade was able to find out that her headaches were caused by massive amounts of lost memories returning into her mind; memories of when the both of you traveled through time."
From that news, Ron, Clank and Rufus became immensely startled. Clank: "Miss Possible and Ron have traveled through time before!?" Kim: "I was also surprised to hear that at first, but yeah, we did. When Ratchet and I stepped through that time rift on Zanifar, I caught of brief glimpse of my younger self. Also, stepping through it felt…familiar." Ron: "But what about me? Why am I throwing up meat cakes?" Wade: "I would guess that they were something that you've been eating a lot during your time traveling episode, but as to why you've been eating them? Well, I haven't been able to figure that out." Ron: "Hm…well, I know it wasn't because I enjoyed them; I remember that they tasted horrible." Kim: "I think I may know why. I remember catching a glimpse of Ron…moving…to Norway. It…it wasn't a happy memory…"
Kim sulked upon mentioning that. Ratchet, concerned for her, placed his hand on her shoulder. Ratchet: "No, I wouldn't think that it was. You and Ron are very close." Kim: "Yes…" Ron: "You know what? Now that you mention it, when I was going through all of that…grossness, I remembered living in Norway for some reason and then I remember getting angry at Shego for that and…Bueno Nacho?" Ratchet: "Oh, no, did you really have to bring up Bueno Nacho? Don't tell me that you're in the mood for Nacos again!" Rufus: "Mmm, Nacos." Ron: "No way! After more than an hour of throwing up meat cakes, just the thought of eating any meat of any kind makes me…(groan) oh…oh, no…it…it's coming up again!"
Ron rushed out and was heard throwing up again. He then walked back into the screen, moaning as was looking awfully ill. Ratchet: "Uh…yeah…I can understand that." Clank: "So, the time anomalies have been bringing back all of the meat cakes that Ron had eaten, thus causing his…stomach pains?" Ratchet: "None of us could even imagine the kind of pain that you're in, Ron." Kim: "But it's safe to say that it's a lot." Ratchet: "Especially that one time when you were screaming a lot." Ron: "Uh, yeah! It felt like my stomach was going to explode!" Ratchet: "Oh, well, that's…not a…very pleasant picture." Kim: "Uh, perhaps we should leave you guys. You need to rest, Ron." Ron: "OK, gotcha, KP." Ratchet: "Try to fell better, Ron. We'll do what we can to help you out." Ron: "Sure thing, Ratchet. A little R&R has been doing me some good." Clank: "We hope to see you soon, Ron, and do not worry; I will continue to look after Rufus." Rufus: "Bye." Ron: "Of course, Clank. I know you will. See ya, guys. Oh, and KP? Now that you're with Ratchet again, you know what it is that you have to do." Kim: "Uh…yes…of course…"
They severed communications with Wade and Ron. Kim: "Um…Ratchet?" Ratchet: "We'll talk later, right now, we have to get to Nefarious." Kim: "Uh…yes…"
She began to sulk as did Ratchet. He spoke under his breath. Ratchet: "Kimberly…"
Suddenly, they received a transmission from Qwark. Qwark: "Qwark calling Ratchet, Qwark calling Ratchet. Come in, Ratchet." Clank: "Is that…Captain Qwark?" Qwark: "Clank? Well, I'll be Scrunch's uncle!" Kim: "Uh…what?" Qwark: "Where did you come from, little buddy?" Ratchet: "There's no time to explain that. We need to stop Nefarious from reaching the clock." Kim: "Lilo told us that you have found a way into his space station. We're on our way now, but you need to find a way to stall him." Qwark: "I'm way ahead of you guys. As a matter of fact, I'm further undercover than I've ever been before…ever! I'd…rather not talk about it." Kim: "No problem. I wouldn't want to hear the details, anyway." Ratchet: "Me neither." Clank: "Ditto."
Rufus groaned in a rather grossed out manner. Clank: "We will meet you outside the station as soon as possible."
They made their way towards the space station at breakneck speed.
