Chapter 2: "What's Happened!"

Ratchet and his team of highly trained Spec. Ops. Rangers are en route to the Nabla Jungle in the Dropship where Sasha appeares over comlink to brief the team on the specifics of their mission.

"O.K., Ratchet! You and your team will drop in about a mile away from the target, where you will set up a small encampment. Seeing as Tyhrranoids cannot see infrared, you may only use infrared lights. When you reach the compound, we will use the stolen passwords recovered from one of the Robonoids, to open a weapons locker near the entrance full of weapons with silencers. Until that time you'll have to rely on Ratchet's skill with his Omniwrench 8000. Then, silently make your way through the west corridor. Keep going until you find the President's cell. Since we don't have codes to open the cell door, you're going to have to blast the lock. Once the President has been secured, proceed back to the encampment. Any quest-"Ssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Where there was once Sasha's face was now only static. "What the fu-" was all Ratchet had time to say before a Tyhrranoid missile ripped through the hull of the Dropship.

The voice of a Ranger piped up from the cockpit. "Sarge, we're going dow-"Ppppppppppppsssssssssshhhhhhhhh! "Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Where there was once a Ranger pilot was a hole shaped like a missile.

"What the hell! How'd they know we were coming? Brace for impact!"

These Rangers didn't have to be told twice. Rangers rushed everywhere there was something to hold onto.

"Impact!"

Ppppppppppppssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Rangers and Ratchet alike were flung everywhere. The air was alive with the sound of screaming Rangers. Ratchet was panicking.

The last thing he remembered before going unconscious was flying headfirst at a large tree. The resounding crack of bone was as sickening as a Tyhrranoids' pits and, unfortunately for Ratchet, this happened to be a coconut tree. The impact of Ratchet's crash caused the coconuts to fall on him. The last thing he remembered was subconscious.

Subconsciously, he saw a group of Tyhrranoids walking over to him before he went unconcious.

Sasha's voice crackled through Ratchet's Helpdesk link. "Ratchet! Ratchet! What's happened!"

Oh believe me, it gets way, way better. Please R&R. I know, I know. Ratchet? Panicking? It's so unreal!
