(A/N) Sorry for long update, I've been busy with something, but I'm back! Yay, so guess what, MAIL TIME!

Ratchet Fan: Yeah, I've know about DL for a while now, and I can't freaking wait. Well thanks for the review!

Ichibod Ricct: Thanks, I hope this is better than the BTB incident, oops.

Pyrocajun2707: Hey no problem on the culture shock reviews. Thanks a lot of people seemed to like this chapter.

Michael Liu: Thanks and I always try. Hope you like this one.

Before I start, I was checking my stats the other day and OLC broke 1000 hits. So I'm happy for myself, I think it was 1292 or something.

Disclaimer: I may not get straight A's but I don't own Ratchet and Clank, insomniac does.

"Sarge, they trained me as a medic a while back, maybe I could help her leg." G-55 said stepping up for the first time. He walked over to Sasha, who was still sitting on the ground. He took her leg and slightly twisted it, he got a small grunt of pain from Sasha. He continued to tamper with it. "Well, it isn't broken which is good news, but it'll probably be hard to walk on. Miss, would you mind trying to walk on it?" The ranger asked, holding out his hand for some help up.

She took a few limped steps and began to try and walk it off.

"It hurts, but I'll be fine, don't stop the plan on account of me." She said smiling, trying to brighten the basically hopeless hearts that surround her. "We'll make it through, trust me."

After reloading and going over the plan of attack the team split up, but this chapter we'll be following Ratchet's group.

Ratchet led the group, annihilator in hand. The automatic door slid open on the right side of the room, as if normal. There seemed to be no sign of enemy, the whole team made their way into the room and the door slammed shut. Ratchet heard a slight thump. He quickly flung his body around and dove at Sasha. He hit her, the both of them flying through the air. Ratchet put his body first and they smacked into the wall.

Where Sasha had been standing now stood a green saber. It was the ninjas. All four of them hit the ground and wasted no time getting into combat with the rangers. The leader sliced with an uppercut motion to G-55 who was sliced up the chest plate, but still functional. He stuttered back and shot the sword hand off the ninja bot who had just tried to kill him. He gracefully grabbed the saber off the ground and sliced the head off the bot that lay handless.

X-27 was ganged up on by two ninjas who were quickly slicing away. In a few swift second X-27 was scrap metal.

Ratchet stepped in and switched to his liquid nitrogen gun. He sprayed over the remaining ninjas and froze one of them. They jumped off the wall behind them and dove at the star struck lombax. One of them had a slight lead and took it to his advantage. In one swift movement Ratchet's left hand was on the ground, no body attached.

He screamed in pain and hit the floor. Just as the bot was about to finish Ratchet Sasha came over and blasted a few rounds at him. All the mean while G-55 had killed the other one.

"Ratchet! How—what?" Sasha yelled kneeling next to her husband.

Ratchets hand was cut off and he was on the ground clutching his arm, trying for anything. Grow it back? Hell no, impossible. Anything. He just lay there, pain surging through him. You know how they say "In an adrenalin rush you don't feel pain", well here it isn't true. It hurts. He slowly got up and leaned against the wall, Sasha didn't have the slightest idea on what to do. She held him, comfort maybe? She continued to hug and comfort him

"Damn it! Sasha… help, please." Is all Ratchet could spit out. He looked over in horror at his hand they lay on the floor, lifeless.

G-55 ran over and took a spare robot arm out of his pack. He kneeled down next to the sergeant and looked at the arm. He twisted it slightly and began said. "Sarge, I can run some surgery to get you a temporary robotic arm. It will take about a half hour. What do you say?" The ranger asked. He looked worried, without Ratchet's hand they were all screwed.

The lombax agreed and G-5 began the surgical process. They had already lost a fighter, the last thing they needed was to lose another. Sasha stayed on guard from atop the ladder, trying to gain the element of surprise if an attack were necessary.

"Ratchet… please, be alright my love. I wouldn't be able to live on this ship if something happened to you. Without your hand you can't fight as well, and as if this mission weren't dangerous enough. Fuck you Nefarious. I'll kill you then mount your head above my captains chair. I hate you…"

Ratchet stayed leaned against the wall, while the ranger did his job. The blue sparks flew out of his arm. Ratchet would groan and grunt and feel all the pain necessary to get him back on his feet. They needed him.

It happened so fast, one second he was shooting the liquid nitrogen gun the next he's on the ground, one hand.

So fast.

So fast.

After about twenty minutes the hand was fused into Ratchet's.

"I need to get the hang of this thing." He said looking down at his new hand, he was obviously pissed. He couldn't stand it.

He moved it in every direction and did a few practice shots with each gun.

They walked through the end of the room and made their way to the computer room, a big area ten computers in rows of two. This still left a vast amount of space. At each of the computers sat a scientific 'Noid. At the corners of the room were three guard mechs. Apparently Dr. Nefarious hadn't expected such progress.

Ratchet thrusted forward and in blind furry shot twelve rockets at the only three mechs. They were quickly decimated and left in heaping piles of metal. They then took all of the computer 'Noids hostage.

Sasha walked over to the angry Lombax and tried to talk to him.

"Ratchet, I know you're angry but you can't be wasting ammo like that!" She said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Sasha, I am so pissed off, please don't get me madder." He said turning away.

This had made Sasha mad. "That's no god damn excuse! And don't turn from me, you'll get yourself killed rushing in like that! Don't you have any common sense, or did your hand hold that?" She said sarcastically.

"Shut up, I know how to fight, I've been doing it for a long time now, unlike some of us who can hardly save her own ass." He hissed at her.

Sasha's emotions had erupted. "You know what Ratchet? Go to hell. I just want to get my ship back, and I don't need your bad attitude to help." She shot back.

With emotions erupted, marriage hanging and the lost trust of two loved ones, is this impossible mission becoming more impossible?

(A/N) Okay whatcha think? REVIEW!
