Chapter 10
Clank explained how Sephiroth had come across him. Apparently all Clank could remember was waking up and finding Sephiroth looking at him with great curiosity.
"It was if he'd never seen a robot in his life! He was almost scared of me I'd say."
"We haven't actually ever seen a robot." Squall said.
"Really? How odd I always thought there would be robots in the parallel universe."
"You mean their world is a parallel universe to ours and there are hundreds of other universes!" Ratchet said excitedly.
"No just the one"
"Oh"
"Look is there any way we can get back?" Cloud asked.
"And where are we anyway?" Vincent asked.
"Well I'm not to sure were we are although my guess is that we're nowhere."
"Nowhere." Squall said. "How can we be nowhere?"
"What I mean is that we're in a place between both universes."
"So we're stuck here?"
"No, technically the portal should still be were you appeared from. Hopefully it should just take you back to where you came from."
"So we won't see each other again." Rinoa said.
"Just me and Ratchet."
"We'd better get going." Ratchet said. "We're running out of food anyway."
"Let's go then." Squall said.
They reached the clearing where Ratchet had appeared at. It was very quiet; they were most likely the only people there. Sure enough there was the portal, a dark blue colour swirling about suspended by nothing.
"We'll go first" Squall said. Putting his arm in front of Ratchet. Squall walked up to the portal and nodded to Ratchet, clearly not wanting a long goodbye. Without looking back he walked straight through the portal. Disappearing as he passed through. Vincent then stepped up.
"See yeh kid" he said as he then walked into the portal disappearing as Squall had. Rinoa then came up. She walked over to Ratchet and hugged him.
"I'm sure we'll meet again" she said although Ratchet very much doubted it. She put back her head and walked into the portal just as Squall and Vincent had. Cloud then stepped forward and held out his left arm to Ratchet then realized he had no left arm and held out his right arm instead.
"I think Rinoa's right. We will see each other again." Ratchet was beginning to think they might. "Take care of yourself Ratchet." He then stepped through the portal as well leaving Ratchet and Clank all by themselves.
"Guess this is it." Ratchet said. He then took hold of Clank's arm. "I'm not gunna lose you again alright?" Together they then stepped through the portal to embrace what lay on the other side.
The end
That was the end of the story. I've been thinking of writing a sequel with more R+C and FF characters. I'd like you to say if you think I should. Please tell me what you think.
