Betrayal
Chapter 1: hosed
It has been only a week after the events of Ratchet and Clank UYA and the war against the Tyrranoids still rages on. Many of the tyrranoids remained robots and used it to their advantage. Although the Tyrranoids were pinned deep in there own land the quickly struck back taking many planets. The Tyrranoids pushed back at amazing speed today they want to recapture tyrranoids making one of the biggest battles in the whole war.
BOOM. An explosion from the left side of ratchet sending the galactic rangers to fly over his head. His ears rung from the explosion. He gathered the galactic rangers that were next to him and still functional and ran them to the next bunker that wasn't too far away. The sun was beating down on them making it rather uncomfortable for ratchet in his armor. One of the galactic rangers mumbled something. Ratchet couldn't hear his ears were still ringing.
"What?" he cried.
"How did the Noids get all of these weapons?"
"I don't know but all these weapons are familiar."
Ratchet looked outside the window to see a rocket coming straight for him! Everyone get down. The rangers immediately dropped to the floor with ratchet as an explosion blew out a wall of the bunker and sent debris in to some of the rangers. Then ratchet heard a bouncing notice and then a bomb bounced into the room everyone teleport back to base. Everyone transported back to the base.
"That was a bouncer" ratchet said to himself in surprise. How did they get access to that kind of stuff. It was illegal for Gadgetron to give it to them since the war started so who could smuggle it?
"That was a what?"one of the rangers asked him.
"A bouncer." Ratchet repeated
"it's one of the weapons I've been using since I was in the Bogon galaxy"
"what happened after we left? Did it explode?"
"Yes." Ratchet answered
"into fragments that search enemies and explode on them."
"Why don't we have those?" the scout sounded disappointed.
"They are quite expensive. I have no idea how the Noids could have gotten them so quickly…unless."
"What?" asked the curious ranger.
"Nothing we just need to get them off this planet before they take it back. But we need bigger firepower."
"I can get you 2 cars if that will work but realize that means you only have a squad."
"That's a good enough our transporters may not work from that far a range so there has to be a way to get out quickly and those cars are the best thing that we've got. I'm also gunna need some rangers with heavy explosives. Were gunna tear that whole base down." Ratchet got into the turbo slider with another ranger at the turret and the other two rangers did the same. Ratchet led the second car of into the battlefield and all the sudden made a sharp turn the other turbo slider almost flipped as the driver had difficulties. The second turbo slider came in on the radio.
"This isn't the front!" the Driver yelled at ratchet.
"I know I'm trying to avoid it completely just tell your gunner to look out for Noid posts."
"Roger that" the robot replied. They drove for a little while when all of a sudden. BOOM! Mines had been planted all over the place the two cars tried to dodge the explosions.
"What the hell are you doing?" yelled ratchet.
"get those mines before they tag us again. Ratchet contacted the phoenix where Clank, Sasha and the rest of the q force were listening.
"This is ratchet everyone. Things are pretty bad down here were being tagged by mines can you offer us any support."
"It's to risky." Sasha insisted.
"Although we do see some anti vehicle turrets and a camp we can take out for you."
"Go ahead." Ratchet agreed. Ratchet saw two huge missiles in the distance
"thanks."
He said as he flipped the wrong switch leaving the radio on. Sasha didn't mind this way they could hear ratchet all the way through to make sure he was ok. Everyone looked at Sasha.
"What?" she asked.
"Are you not going to tell ratchet that he has forgotten to turn his radio off."
"Why."
"We must continue radio silence or he may be compromised."
"No I want to see if he's ok!"she whined.
"It's for the good of the…" clank thought a moment.
"You know what I wanna know if he's ok too." The rest of the q force agreed.
"We're approaching the base get ready boys." They all hopped out of the car
"you." Ratchet pointed to a soldier.
"Stay here and guard the cars we'll be back."The group creped behind walls and corners swiftly and quietly.
"Here it is Ratchet said plant the bomb here give it 5 minutes and lets get the hell out of here."Ratchet said.At that time big al noticed something in the radar.
"There are enemy troops back by the car. It was a trap!" al panicked. Sasha scrambled to turn her radio on.
"Ratchet don't go that way it's a trap!"
"How are we supposed to get out of here?" Ratchet asked
"al's working on. Take their car behind you and to the left."Al yelled loud enough for ratchet to hear him.
"Thanks al…this way" ratchet guided the rangers. They all hopped in to the car and started to go through the front lines knocking down several Noids and being hit by countless explosives. Poonk!
"Was that a…" the mini nuke tumbled thought the ceiling of the car. Time slowed down to ratchet as he could do nothing but just watch it hit the ground. BOOM. The car flipped sending ratchet flying outside the car. The entire crew heard his screams until he hit the ground several feet short of where the car rolled over to in flames another one of the rangers landed next to ratchet.
"You all right sarge" he said.
"I think so ratchet said rubbing his throbbing head"
"we better get moving were right in the line of fire. Ratchet turned on his plasma burier.
"You go I'll take care of these guys"
"Okay sarge I'll go get help." The ranger ran towards the base. Ratchet sprayed the enemies down with the N60 Storm. But then all the sudden his shield went out.
"Oh no!" Ratchet started to backpedal but it was too late the Noids started firing at him. The Q force listened to the bullets flying and ratchets breathing until they heard him grunt once and then again as it sounded like he fell to the ground. They then only heard uneven heavy breathing.
"Ratchet are you okay? There was no answer. He had been shot in the stomach and leg! He lay there eyes staring at nothing and blinking softly.
"Get him out of here." They heard a ranger yell. They heard dragging and never-ending chatter.
"Throw down some holo shields!"
"Put him down give him some air."
"Hold your hand here."
"The medics have arrived" a medic came and kneeled down.
"We need a transport here" the crew heard
"He's going into shock." Sasha started to cry a little bit.
"We need to do something about that bleeding" continued the medic.
"Heart BPM is rapidly dropping!"
"Where's that transport"
"sir the Tyrranoids have almost broken though our holo shields!"
reported a ranger.
"Common… this isn't working!" ratchets eyes closed and he let out a sigh that crumbled to nothing.
"Oh my god." Said one of the medics. "We lost him"
Ratchet…DEAD. Who could have given the Noids all these weapons if your not dumb then you already have half the answer.
