Chapter 3: The first plan
Antiech: I really have nothing to say here.
Then don't say anything.
Ech: Forgetting something, TTE?
Princess Aquaech can take care of it.

Thank you, Princess Aquaech. Well, on with the story...
For the past few hours, the Professor had been studying Ratchet and Clank for clues on how to send them home. The gigantic portal generator was completely out of the question because of the short in Clank's robotic ignition system, so an alternate way of returning to Ratchet's home galaxy had to be found.
"All right, I'm going to try to find the electronegativity aspect of your galaxy using this machine," the Professor said as he gestured to them and the machine.
"Electronegativity?!" Ratchet yelled, "The movement of electrons is what got us into this mess!"
"Ratchet, he wants to find how closely the nuclei in our atoms attract our electrons," Clank explained to his taller partner, "That way the portal could have only one definite destination."
"Correct, Clank," the Professor stated, "Elora, Hunter, attach the electrodes to them."
Elora got the electrodes to attach to Ratchet while Hunter attached some to Clank. One of them wouldn't attach to Clank's storage box, so Hunter just licked it and stuck it to Clank's forehead.
"Careful, Clank," Ratchet joked, "He might try to read your thoughts."
Elora now returned from the Professor's machine with more electrodes to attach to Ratchet.
"Be careful down there, Elora, I don't want any sudden electrical shocks," Ratchet said as Elora bent down to put electrodes on his knees, "Hey, watch where your head's going!"
"I'll show him a sudden electrical shock," Spyro mumbled as he looked through the machine's many wires for the controller, "Aha! I found it!"
"All right," the Professor said, "I think we're ready for the test. Spyro, press the button!"
"With pleasure," Spyro thought to himself as he pressed the button. Nothing could prepare any of them for what would happen next.
The electrical energy traveled through the wires strewn around the lab, finally ending up at a small toy robot, which subsequently started on fire. It started walking across the lab floor and before the professor knew it, tripped and fell headfirst into a pile of his dirty laundry.
"My underpants!" the Professor yelled as he ran to get the fire extinguisher, "Spyro! Turn it off!"
"You're giving us a ton of confidence, Professor," Ratchet said as the Professor sprayed the flames with the extinguisher.
"Don't you worry, Ratchet," the Professor said and he threw the charred remains of his laundry in the garbage, "I have another plan."
Roo: Well that was surely a pointless chapter.
Now you see why I put it in the humor category?
Wex: Well that's just insulting to scientists.
Like that's never happened to any scientists before.
Ech: Well, that's 3 down, some amount to go. Don't forget to review. See you all later... much later.
Antiroo: He's a very strange young echidna.
Antiech: He's an idiot. It comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots, too. If any of you have a kid who acts that way I'll disown ya.
Thanks for reading this chapter, stay tuned for the next installment.
