Ratchet's Surprise And Torn's Disappointment
(&#!#&)
LAST TIME
"Nirvana, who's that?" They said at the same time.
"Ratchet, this is Torn, and Torn, this is Ratchet. The father of my daughter." I said.
"I have a daughter?" Was the last thing Ratchet said before fainting.
"You have a child?" Torn choked out before joining Ratchet on the ground.
NOW
Clank's POV
"So, how have you been doing Clank?" Nirvana asked me as she climbed into Ratchet's ship.
"We defeated Drek after we found your galaxy, then saved the Bogon galaxy from a protopet, and the latest is, once again, saving Ratchet's planet. He found a girlfriend too." I immediately wished that I could take that back as her angelic wings drooped slightly and I noticed her messing with Ratchet's new suitcase. "Would you like some help?"
"You have no idea." She pulled out of the cockpit and I flew up to her, the air from her beating wings helping me greatly as I cannot fly straight up.
"Okay, how the hell do you get the case open? I can do the rest." I sighed at her and pressed a large red button on the bottom that actually said, 'PRESS BUTTON TO INCREASE SIZE'. It was actually quite obvious. "Oh." She sighed and scratched her head.
"Okay Clank, where are his weapons." I pointed to a back corner and she started throwing weapons in. Rift Inducer, Disk Blade, Sharpshooter, and a few other potientallly dangerous weapons. That last weapon she threw in was Ratchet's prize wrench.
"This should be all." Nirvana got up and flew out of the ship, as I was clinging to her wings.
I lifted my head and looked around, trying to remember what exactly had happened. Suddenly it came back to me; the ship's landing, Nirvana, and the fact that I was a father. I stood up and punched the air, until I realized that I had woken up the other man.
"Ratchet. What the hell was that for?" Nirvana said, jumping out of the cockpit, her silver and blue-ish wings fluttering and I remembered why I had not been as excited earlier. Sasha. I was dating her and here I am, finding out I have a kid.
"Nothing." I hadn't even realized that I made a noise. She sighed.
"Pick Torn up. We'll head to the base. Come on." I leaned down and picked up the elf who seemed to growl in his sleep. I flung him over my shoulder and started to walk as I noticed my suitcase in her hands.
"Alright, just I have an inkling that he will try and do some heavy-duty interrogating on me." I called to Clank and asked him if he wanted a free ride, which he did. Lazy robots.
"Okay, follow me and try to memorize the directions to your ship. I can't to everything." I said to Ratchet and Clank behind me.
I looked up at the sky and sighed dreamily. 'I hope she likes him. After three years of her bugging my about when she'll finally be able to meet her father, it happened. I just hope she won't be disappointed.'
"Jak?" I called and pulled up his eyelids. I looked towards Nivia. "It's alright. Just semi-shock. But, just between you and me," I leaned down to the silver haired girl. "He's most likely senile." She giggled and held up a washcloth to me.
I looked down at the unconscious renegade and assessed the situation. Jak was at least maybe twice my weight almost and was seven inches taller than me. That puts me in a very odd position.
"Work with me here you dolt." I grumbled and slowly dragged his body on the leather couch that was closest. It still seemed too far.
"Aunt Keira, why was Jak scared when you told him I was my mother's daughter?" Nivia asked quietly and sat on the couch next to Jak's stomach.
"Well, he's only known your mother for a day, but you know how she's unresiponsible?" Nirvana was only like that on some subjects. "And also how she's kinda young? Well, it's just a shock. Also your part lombax. That's another shocker." Nivia giggled.
"Also, when Jak wakes up ask him about your mother's powers. He and that annoying rat of his have the same Dark Powers. It's really quite cool." The small girl giggled and Keira stood up and walked into the kitchen.
Jak stirred and Nivia moved closer as he slowly sat up and rubbed his forehead. "Ooo, that hurt." He blinked then settled on Nivia.
"Feeling better, Jak?" He nodded slowly and she grinned. "Good, cause I have some questions." Jak blanched. 'She's conniving. Just like her mother.'
"Sure, what about?"
"Tell me about my mom's powers." Jak struggled with where to start. "Tell me what she can do. Some of the guards talk about it and she sounds really awesome."
Jak laughed. "So, you want to know what she's like? Well, have you seen any part of your mother different 'sides'?" Nivia shook her head and urged Jak on. "Well, her 'Dark Side' can control fire, as far as I know. I only saw her once today. And her 'light side'? She's like an angel. Her voice, wings and even her appearance is light and mystical. A few years ago when I was in Haven City, a friend told me about the Conviction War. If you want I can sum it up quickly for you?" She nodded eagerly.
"Well, he told me that about four thousand years ago, a demon, once the protector or God himself, turned and joined the underworld of hell. This demon was once an angel in Heaven. His name was Sypher and was immediately welcomed into Hell due to the information he had about Heaven. There was a plan that Satan was to talk to God. He would ask to bind forces and then when it was all settled and done, he would betray God. Because of earlier warnings about the angels coming to Earth, this was made. Because, if the world was pure, and no one was evil or negative, then Hell would cease to exist. Either way Sypher and the rest of the demons did not to be the last ones alive on this one. But, they said that God had seen the future and saw what he was going to do, he said no. Satan was furious and Sypher was made high Commander in his army, they had one for some time. The strongest demons of Purgatory were in that army." Jak yawned and rubbed his eyes, trying to remember what the Old Man had said.
"He talked about Sypher getting a place in the group of the 'Hex.' The Hex was the group of the eight strongest demons in Purgatory. They were the most powerful demons in Hell. The group consisted of the demons, Sypher, Rosqe, Taraka, Malor, Zeypher, Thorax, Ein and the leader, Vulgar. The reason Sypher got into even hell when he had such a pure heart was that above if your heart slowly started getting a black shade the would recognize it in the way your action change, he knew it and took a shortcut. Kept his wings and went down to talk with Hades about the war to come. He took the information as useful and turned Sypher into a demon. Sypher was a Hex. The war came, and that's all the old man told me. He also said that one day a prophecy will come into place where the reincarnates shall meet for another war or on the miracle of Hell freezing over they unite." She nodded and jumped off his lap.
"But that still doesn't explain my mum's powers." Nivia looked back at him. He looked and her and said, "Soon enough."
Jak's POV
'Damn, she's gonna be trouble for the world.' I looked at her as she went into the kitchen to talk to Keira, probably. 'Nirvana, get your ass back here, I'm remembering.' Almost as if church bells rang Nirvana walked in and she too had ears that were red and black on her head and a tail. The man next to her was carrying a unconscious Torn and he had' 'How'd frostbite get here?' I decided to be myself and ask. "So, Nirvana how'd Frostbite get here?"
She looked surprised and blinked. "He was the prisoner that we fought to free." I winced at her sudden sharpness.
"Alright, what about the man next to you?" He had golden ears, tail and was wearing blue shorts with suspenders. A large wrench was at his side and looked like it could deal a potentially nasty blow.
"Hello mate, I'm Ratchet and who is this pretty little shelia?" He shook my hand and kneeled down to Nivia's height. She looked up at him and smiled. That's when he noticed. "Tail. Ears." I heard him mumble. He looked up and threw him arms around her and said, "My daughter."
Nivia looked shaken and surprised at his statement. She looked to her mother for confirmation, at her slight nod Nivia blinked and mumbled, "Daddy!" She stated hugging him and asking all sorts of questions. I looked over to see how Torn was taking this, I had heard him wake up sometime after Ratchet had ungracefully dropped him onto the floor. He didn't look too good. It was a mixture of anger and shock. He wasn't sure if he should rip her from Ratchet's grasp or too faint again. He chose neither and just stared.
Torn's POV
'How could this happen? I was sure she was mine… maybe she doesn't have feelings for the cat?' While I was thinking I didn't notice Nivia point to the ceiling and quiet everybody.
"Mom, there is something that just fell. I heard the thunk and felt something," She looked to Jak who was staring at the ceiling with curiosity also. "Hmm, you're right. I'll head up with Ratchet. I mean, we men have to protect the women." I saw Nirvana make a quick glance at me and I crossed my arms. The cat walked over to his bag and opened it, it was, no doubt, holding his weapons.
"Daddy? Where are you going?" I heard this and stiffened immediately.
"Just going to go see if there is anything to kill from what you heard above," he said this with cheeriness that I was surprised he could kill. "Hey Clank? Can I have my case?" He asked the mechanical robot I just noticed was there.
He nodded and spoke quietly, "Take something small. We are already odd here enough." I jumped a foot high. Then I all got stares.
"Got something in your pants Torn?" Nirvana said quietly and I saw the knowing look in her eyes. Jak snickered quietly behind me.
"N- no. Just heard something again. T-that's all, " I stuttered. They all gave me looks like, 'Yeah-whatever-Torn-we-will-believe-you-when-hell-freezes-over' look. And by the way Nirvana was glaring at everybody, Hell may have a freeze tonight. Hail and sleet is welcome.
"Alright. Let's go. I have a small Dark Eco training later." I saw Jak give Nirvana a wink before he left with Ratchet laughing loudly on his tail.
In the Hallway with Jak and Ratchet
"So you got something for the Major?" Ratchet asked nonchalantly while trying to calm his laughter to mere giggles.
Jak gave a mere shrug of his shoulders. "She seems to be already taken." He said and continued after a quick glare from Ratchet. "But, the woman with the blue hair. Keira." He said quietly as they made their slow progress through the narrow hallways.
"So, is she always like that?" Ratchet asked a minute later.
"Like how?" Jak propped his arms behind his head and waved to one of the injured guards from the fight earlier.
"So happy, almost…" Ratchet shook his head. "In there, she was glaring at everyone. Is she normally like that?"
"Hardly, from what I've seen, she's incredibly playful, loving and a scary love for her guns and sharp objects…" Jak suddenly stopped in his sentence and looked at Ratchet's amber cat eyes. "What's going on between you and Nirvana?"
Ratchet reeled back at that and started to stutter. "Uh, well, as you see.. there isn't anything other than our daughter that's between us.. Ah, yeah. That's about it… umm, excuse me, I really would like to go and bash something in with… THIS!" With that little spunk of energy said, he started to bound towards the doors, his R.Y.N.O out, swinging it around like the manic he was.
"Ratchet?" Jak called out to the psycho, who stopped trying to act as if he were to kill everybody and calmly walked back over to Jak.
"Yes?" He asked calmly as he put away the missile bomber and brought out the mine thrower again.
"Personally, I would say be more careful. I have a strange inkling that not too many people around here would take to being chased by a psycotic cat with a missile bomber."
Ratchet gave a small growl. "I'm a psycotic LOMBAX! Not a CAT!" Then he brought out his wrench and walked out of the doors, heading towards some bushes. "Hey Jak? I heard something from over there." He pointed to a rather small patch of large bushes.
"After you." Jak said quietly and the lombax walked ahead of him, his wrench out and ready. Jak followed behind, the gun Torn gave him in his hands.
"Take a look." Jak quietly said and Ratchet nodded. He swiped at the bushes and gray popped up.
"Don't you know better than to mess with an old man while he sleeps!" Silver light emereged.
"What the hell!"
