Is was Chaos in the Great Clock as two lombaxes battle it out as the Clock countinued to shake as Platforms broke all around them. As the battle to stop the reset continued it was becoming increasingly obvious that the eldest of the two was quickly gaining the combat advantage while the younger was reaching their limit.

A feminine voice could be heard saying warnings every few seconds and with the general down Ratchet had suddenly got a burst of strength and took down Alister and quickly went to the Platform. Despite the general's voice sounding pissed when he shouted "No, What are you doing!!?" Ratchet had used all the strength he had to move the lever forward fully before quickly jumping off however he didn't get more then four feet from the pedestal before he was sent flying by the sheer force of the electrical current and knocked out in seconds with multiple injuries before everything went silent.

Alister's P.O.V

It took a few minutes before I relized the room had stopped shaking and rupturing.

The second thing I became aware of was what appeared to be a glowing and transparent form of Kaden stood across from me and staring in the direction of where I saw Ratchet land though I couldn't help getting a tight feeling in my chest before running over to the rather still form of his son. Kaden had his hand hovering over ratchet's chest before he spoke in his familiar but, otherworldly voice

"Alister my old friend please try to save him. It isn't either of your time yet. His mom and I as well as the others that didn't make it are watching over you both and always have been and will countinue to do so till as long as we're needed." With those words Kaden's form disappeared and the gravity of the situation hit even harder when I twitched my ears listening for any signs of life from the younger lombax in front of me.

It quickly went into concern and then panic as I layed an ear on Ratchet's chest only to relize his heart and his breathing had stopped. I immediately knew what I needed to do but, needed to stay calm. I Carefully but firmly put my hands over where Ratchet's heart was and began cpr. Images of Kaden's lifeless body went through my head and I relized history was repeating itself with his son.

My thoughts were completely focused on the young adult in front of me as I gave him chest compressions and with little hesitation breathed my air into Ratchet's own lungs to keep air going and countinued the process for several minutes. I can't lose the only other lombax I have gotten to know in several years please don't take him too. I care about him though I didn't do a good job at showing it but, I need a second chance to make it up to him please bring him back to me.

3rd person P.O.V

After the clock stopped shaking Clank and Sigmund had quickly came to the platform only to both cover their mouths in pure fear and for Clank sorrow seeing a severally hurt and unresponsive Ratchet as well as the General trying to bring him back with tears streaming down his face. Alister soon stopped as in his mind he had been too late and could be visibly shaking with unshed tears as he put his forehead onto Ratchet's own begging him to come back.

both Robots came over to give him shoulders to cry on but, could hear him muttering about giving it one more try before giving up as he got back in position and started again. It was only after the last shared breath before Alister's ears shot up and layed on Ratchet's chest to listen before being stunned by a very aggressive breath from Ratchet before a coughing fit ensued. Alister helped turn ratchet to his side to make it easier before Ratchet layed on Alister's legs disoriented and in pain before speaking and saying "thank you for saving me General" Alister through his tears replied with "your welcome Ratchet" before holding him close purring loudly.
