Now that we're back, longer chapters will soon come. Thanks to those who never gave up on this story.

Let's get to the finish.

CHAPTER 13

Talwyn and Rivet stared at each other in the room "What are you doing?! How did you get in here?!" Talwyn asked and Rivet simply responded by saying "Tiffany." Talwyn walked to the door and opened it

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" she said angrily "You're really not gonna question the fact that your 'friend' had something to do with this?!" Rivet asked annoyed and Talwyn shook her head "No, I don't!" She started and she walked right back up to Rivet. "She's actually really nice, and has had my back!" Talwyn defended "Had your back in what? Trying to figure out how to steal someone's boyfriend?!" Rivet shot and Talwyn felt her blood boil "NO! Had my back in trying to take MY Boyfriend back!" she shot back "You talk about him like he's your property, guess what Talwyn, HE ISN'T." Rivet responded and before Talwyn could respond, Rivet began making her way out "If you can't see there's clearly something shocked up about your friend you're even more delusional than I thought." Rivet spoke closing the door behind her.

Talwyn allowed herself to cool off before taking a look inside the room Tiff was staying in, and looking at all the sophisticated technology in the room. "All you need to know. Is i'm your friend. And I wanna see you happy with Ratchet again…..Look, my intentions are good hun. I'm helping you with this. And doing my job until I have to go home. I don't have to you know. You did come to me…" Tiff's words echoed and Talwyn felt her trust in her fellow markazian start to diminish once more, especially after she had defended her. Talwyn slowly closed the door as she exited the room, deep in thought, and filled with concern about Tiffany, and her true motives.

…

"NAH HOMIE, NAH HOMIE!" Wrench said as Ratchet sat on the couch, head in his hands "That just don't sound like Rivet! Something's up, and if I had to put money on it, I'd say a markazian's involved!" Wrench spoke and Ratchet looked at him "Already told you, Talwyn had nothing to do with it." he spoke and Wrench shook his head. "Nah…that other one. The one with the security robot…." Wrench said and Ratchet's eyes widened at the realization. "Tiffany…." He said "Yeah…." Wrench spoke and Ratchet sat forward.

"She just gives off a vibe of deception and she comes across…vindictive. You know?" Ratchet asked and Wrench nodded "She's definitely deceptive holmes, look how she got us all drunk that night, she's up to something man." Wrench said and Ratchet nodded. Suddenly the door opened and in walked Rivet. "Oh shock…." Wrench spoke and he slowly saw himself out "Ratchet…." Rivet started and the male lombax looked away from Rivet. "Ratchet…" Rivet repeated "You're a hypocrite….Why would I want to hear anything you have to say…" Ratchet broke his silence, slowly directing his attention towards Rivet.

"I did it…." Rivet started, and she made her way over to Ratchet. "I did it because Tiffany….was extorting me to…" Rivet explained and Ratchet's eyes opened. "She was killing morts…..I didn't know what to do, and I couldn't tell you because she knows where I am 24/7…." Rivet continued to explain. "All this? For Talwyn to get me back?!" Ratchet stood up "No, we gotta see her, now." Ratchet said and Rivet grabbed his hand "Tiffany doesn't care about Talwyn, or what's going on with us…She works for Archon." Rivet revealed and Ratchet's jaw dropped. "And I think he might still be alive." Rivet said and upon hearing that statement Ratchet remembered how difficult it was to stop the Mighty Archon. "We have to talk to Clank. He works with the sisters at the Rehab and Reform Center….Archon's daughters….they'll know…" Ratchet said and Rivet nodded. "Are we okay?" She asked and Ratchet looked at her. "I don't know." He responded, and Rivet felt her heart sink as she slowly followed him out.

REHAB AND REFORM CENTER

Tiffany had a bit of bounce in her step as she made her way to the receptionist's desk. The receptionist slowly looked up at the markazian female. "Are…Rayamy and Emmiamy allowed visitors?" Tiffany asked leaning on the desk. "Yes but no weapons." The receptionist explained and Tiff nodded as she was frisked. Her weapons however, were undetectable. The guard eyed Tiff twice as she looked at him grinning "What are you smiling for" The guard asked "Cause I love life!" Tiff giggled as the guard stepped away and Tiff walked past him "Third door on your left." The receptionist reminded and Tiff nodded as she began walking down the hall. She reactivated the comm channel as she walked "Hope you two are expecting company…" She said softly before disconnecting once more.

…

Ratchet and Rivet arrived at the center shortly thereafter, but before exiting the cruiser, Rivet took hold of Ratchet's hand. "You still love me? Right?" Rivet asked and Ratchet hesitated for a moment before speaking up "I finally earn your trust….knowing what you've been through. And you slap me in the face. I know Tiff was calling shots, but you….you still lied to me." Ratchet said "She was killing the people I call FAMILY Ratchet!" Rivet justified. "We could've faced her together Riv." Ratchet spoke and Rivet shook her head "I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE WOULD DO!" She screamed "I was scared!" Rivet explained. Ratchet slowly pulled his hand away and stood up to exit the cruiser. "We should get to it." He said as he went to exit. Rivet wiped a tear that escaped her before standing up "Hope you two are expecting company…." Tiff's voice boomed in Rivet's ear, and Rivet noticed 4 dots glow on her neck, the tool Tiff had used. "What the…" Rivet said looking at her reflection as the dots seemingly vanished. Rivet reached for the spot where the dots had appeared but when she moved her hand away there were no sign of whatever appeared on her neck. "Rivet, come on!" Ratchet called from outside the cruiser. Rivet looked at her reflection once more cautiously before making her way out.

….

The sisters are about to return! I've gotten a lot of praise and compliments for these two and i'm excited to bring them back!

Now what's gonna make this story different, is as the conflict approaches rapidly, our main lombaxes are facing serious friction in their relationship, will they be able to sort it out among the chaos? Especially when Talwyn gets involved?

STAY BLESSED!
