Ratchet didn't know what to do, to him, it was a dream, a stupid dumb dream, like the ones he had before.

"Slik, you could lower down the hatred! You sound like something from Shakespeare!" said a voice. It must of been Sly.

"Yeah, whatever. Let's just get out of here!" yelled Slik. "Wait! I got to save Ratchet!" said Slik.

"Who?" asked Sly.

Slik and Sly ran down the hall to the steel box Ratchet was stuck in. Sly hit the box a few times with his cane, but that sent a vibration through his body, which made him collapse.

"Next time try the button!" yelled Slik.

Slik and Sly went into the steel box, and helped Ratchet off the cold ground.

"How in the hell did you do that!" asked Ratchet in amazement.

"Talent," replied Slik.

They made there way down the hall, then Talonz and Ibistrons blocked there path.

"Ha, this is classic, one forgets, one remembers, and one looses!" snapped Talonz.

Then there was a grinding sound, a grinding sound, that sounded like… The metal wall fell, and there, stood a green with yellow striped saber-toothed tiger, a red-tailed hawk, a giant brown wolf, and a creature, who was half hawk, and half horse.

"It's over Talonz!" said a female voice. But what was weird about that voice, Ratchet heard it, but yet, he didn't hear it. It was in his head.

"Ah, Karen, what a unpleasant surprise. Oh, and look, it's the freak show you call a team! It makes me laugh!" greedily said Talonz.

"Bring it on!" yelled the female voice in his head. The saber-toothed tiger leaped up on Talonz, and sawed through his armor with her fangs. Talonz screeched in pain. Sly got rid of the Ibistrons, with help of Ratchet of course. The gaint wolf shot Talonz with what seemed to be a blaster in the eye. Glass shattered every where.

"Come on guys! Let's get out of here!" yelled the female.

" Hey, we should all get some action!" yelled the hawk, in the same thought-speak as the female.

"No! We need to get out of here! There's a bomb!" snapped the female.

"Run!" Ratchet yelled.

But when Ratchet ran, he fell to the ground. Then he noticed his whole right leg was covered in blood, probably from the glass that shattered from Talonz's eye.

"Here, hop on!" yelled the half horse-hawk. Ratchet would have said he would have make it out, but he hopped on the half horse-hawks back, and he ran for dear life. The others were all ready out. With a few nasty remarks from Talonz, the whole place blew into pieces. They flew above an island, an island with blue and green trees, a huge mountain rested in the middle of the island, and a vast ocean surrounded the island as well.

"May I ask you some questions? First, where are we, second, who are you, and third, what are you?" asked Ratchet.

"We are in a land between time and space, or a land called Orin. There are seven islands of Orin, Griffin Claw, Falco, Cobra, Wolf, Scorpio, Osprey, and where we are now, Sabre Island. And, my name is Jake, I'm from Griffin Claw, oh and, I'm a creature called a hippogriff. What about you?" replied the creature known as Jake.

"Name's Ratchet, and I'm a lombax," replied Ratchet.

"Well, here we are," said Jake as they flew down to the island that might be Ratchet's new home.
