Chapter 10: The Final Escape

Ratchet, Clank, Sarge11, and the GP were captured once again. And as in every situation where someone is captured, they need a better escape plan, than the plan in which they were captured.

"Well we could try to dig our way out of here with spoons." Ratchet woke up to find himself in the presence of Skidd McMarx. He was talking to the person in the cell next to him.

"No. That's how I escaped last time. They already wised up to my best escape plan."

Ratchet's eyes jumped open at the sound of Sarge11's voice and this new information. "Hey! You've been here before? When? And why is Skidd here?" Everyone stared at Ratchet.

Everyone turned their heads to Sarge11.

Clank spoke up. "Yes, you only brought up the fact that you were here before just recently. How did you get here?

"I, uh, got captured. The rest of my crew didn't die in the field, they died at the hands of these guys in the cells."

Ratchet now noticed the charred bones all around the area. He shuddered. "So what did those things do?"

Sarge11 took a deep breath like he was gonna say something before he was interrupted by one of the creatures. Sarge11 was almost frozen in fear, the creature headed over to Skidd who was asleep. It shook him until he was awake.

"Watch this," Sarge11 said.

Skidd, now awake, said, "Hey man, chill out."

The others watched in horror as two holes opened up in the creature's cheeks and tentacles came out of them. They slowly made their way toward Skidd's nostrils. They made it inside his nostrils and went up into his skull and where his brain was supposed to be… Skidd giggled and said, "That tickles. But the tentacles came out empty.

Sarge11 had a funny look on his face. "But, it was supposed to suck his brain out."

Ratchet gave it some deep thought. Then it hit him. "Oomph. Hey! That thing just pounded my stomach!"

Sarge11 said, "Well, the author did just say it hit you."

"Oh. Anyway, I know why Skidd's brain didn't come out with the tentacles. He has no brain!" All of a sudden, he had another idea. "Everyone act like Skidd!"

Almost instantly, everyone fell asleep.

(Five hours later)

Ratchet was the last to wake up and… He still had his brain! And, even better, the creatures had left the door open.

Clank saw he was awake and handed him the Tempest. "You may need this for our escape."

…

"We win!" Ratchet shouted triumphantly.

"I never thought I'd see the day when we would wipe out that tribe." Sarge11 said, tears of joy coming to his eyes.

Now Skidd said, "I'd better get back to my ship. Sasha and the Q-Force will be wanting to here my report on your position."

"Wait, did you just say you have a working ship?"

Skidd gave them a look he reserves for people he thinks he's smarter than. "Duh!"

Everyone looked at each other, then at Skidd and said in unison, "Take us with you!"

(On Skidd's ship)

"I never thought I'd get out of that hellhole." Sarge11 said.

"I'm just glad to be alive." Ratchet said with relief.

(Cue music at the end of Jurassic Park.)

Well what did you think? It's finally finished. There's one last chapter that I think you'll like.
