Chapter 10: battle for gremlin part 2

Gary gazed blindly at the gray sky. Too his surprise X figures jumped from the cliffs above and land down the valley. A filmier face entered Gary's view.

"Are you alright?"

Gary smiled at the figure but didn't answer.

"Gary talk, say something!"

Gary heard shots from the end of the valley that the rangers landed. He was then dragged to an area behind holoshileds. Looking slowly to his left he could see the rangers firing from behind a bunker from beyond the blue glow of the holoshileds.

"This is G platoon to HQ…were pinned down in the valley that connects this village to the old Megacorp facility. There are 11…n-no 13 enemy soldiers they seem to be protecting something…orders?"

"Stand by, we have multiple incoming friendly unit's to your position units to your position. R23 and R1 are leading them."

"Roger that! Over and out." The platoon leader turned off his radio

ANGELA'S HOUSE

"Rachel!" ratchet called

Rachel who was lying down and trying to relax got up with a jolt to see ratchet at the door.

"They're coming!"

Rachel got up without another word and was out the door Ratchet following behind her.

"Captain Connor!" the Lombax we met last chapter faced Ratchet.

"Get ready for an attack."

"Wh- but how"

"I think it had to go with those robots that attacked us." Ratchet said.

"Do you know anything about it Rachel?"

"Is that what your calling her?" Connor asked?

"Hmm…one of them said something." Rachel replied

"What?" ratchet asked while Connor still awaited an answer.

"Actually, they all said I had betray them."

"So you were associated with them?"

"I don't remember them at all…"

"You had a beacon…maybe they did too."

"They might not have anything to do with me or nefarious or-"

"That's you! You are nefarious in a strange…female…body god damn! It's all so confusing! What the hell happened Rachel…R1…Nefarious…I want answers you have them!"
Rachel bit her lip.

"We don't have time for this now." She said with a nervous crackle in her voice

"Hey ratchet!" a ranger called.

"Let's go! What are you doing?" with a nod ratchet followed the ranger.

"Rachel!" he yelled.

"I guess I gotta go to." she uttered to Connor who was still confused.

A FEW MINUTES LATER…

Ratchet's drop ship landed behind the bunker where the firefight was going on and stepped out. He looked around at the battlefield.

"This is pathetic?" he sighed. Ratchet walked into the crossfire. Rachel was just coming out of the drop ship guns blazing to see ratchet casually walking towards the enemy soldiers who had white flagged already.

"So can any of you speak?" the whole group looked around each other confused…they had no idea what he had said.

"I can…" Gary said. One of the tyrranoids said something.

"What did he say?" ratchet asked? Rachel gulped.

"What did he say!" ratchet yelled.

"He said that you're about to die." Ratchet got out his N60 and smashed the barrel into the tyrranoids face and fired and then fired several times at his body at the floor.

"Do any of your friends want to make any more stupid remarks? I didn't think so." A steady rumbling stopped everyone in their tracks. A single walker came into view…then another…and another and then hundreds…drop ships came down from the skies and soldiers flooded out of all of them. A Tyrranoid suddenly knocked ratchet to the ground. To ratchet's relief the Tyrranoid was sniped out and the others were able to flee to the drop ships and leave the wounded Gary and their fellow downed soldier behind. Ratchet ran back towards the others with all sorts of enemy soldiers shooting at him. Within moments the rest of the galactic fleet was there and the battle began. Rachel was right behind the drop ship taking cover from fire and only extended a hand to catch ratchet. He was almost there…at the touch of Rachel's hand he was swung back to safety.

"Thanks." Ratchet said after finally catching his breath. They heard more drop ships. The tyrranoids were sending in even more!

"Are you scared?" Rachel asked

"N-y-no…"

"I would be surprised…" she said glancing at her hypnomatic. Ratchet glanced at the battle that was taking place behind him.

"I'm…in the middle." Rachel glanced back.

"Oh my god…" she gasped

"What?"

"Look…"

Ratchet looked behind him to see Sasha all the way in the back of the valley, she seemed to be engaged in a battle of her own. But she wasn't herself anymore she was a robot. Ratchet clutched his hands in anger.

"She's…like them…like you." He looked over to Rachel who was still staring at Sasha.

"Those robot's that attacked us…Were other people…like Sasha." Ratchet was starting to look through his guns.

"Ratchet you can't just charge in there."

"I'm getting Sasha back."

"She might be…"

"She isn't its Sasha." Ratchet started toward the battle but Rachel stopped him

"Ratchet stop and think! If you go out there and she's like the others you will die. If your going to fight for the sole purpose of getting the Noids off this planet, fine, but don't go out and get killed for a lost purpose."

"Why are you so against helping Sasha ever since we left Barlow."

"I'm not against helping her I'm thinking. Every possible scenario is bad if we try to get her!"

"I'm going your either going to help or your not." Rachel sighed and went inside the ship and came out with a mini-rocket tube and an N-60 much like Ratchet's but black.

"Let's go." She said.

"On the count of three we run out to that first bunker over there" Ratchet said pointing to a bunker where several rangers were taking cover.

"1…2…3!" the two leaped from of the cover of the drop ship and ran towards the first bunker. Ratchet's feet slid in the slippery snow as he spun his body to make sure no intruders were ready to ambush them.

"Over here!" one of the rangers's called.

"You're a sight for sore eyes sarge. That drop ship over there is deploying many special robot units'…we've never seen these before. There fast and accurate and…we don't know how to respond to them sir." A turbo slider zoomed past them.

"Stay here and charge on my command." Ratchet responded.

"You sure sir."

"We'll cover you. Just get to the next bunker…NOW" the ranger scrambled out of the bunker. POONK…BOOM. A gravity bomb landed sending snow and dirt into the air, which rained on the charging ranger nearby. Rachel got her mini-rocket-tube ready to fire at the drop ship that had unit's pummeling the single troop.

"Hook, line, and sinker." Rachel thought to herself as she pulled the trigger. The rocket flew towards its target spewing black smoke and exploding in a huge fireball that destroyed the hover ship. Another allied drop ship landed a few feet behind Ratchet and Rachel's position. Hundreds of galactic rangers came out charging the ruins of the humongous drop ship that had been giving them so much trouble. Ratchet got into the middle and joined them in their charge, as did Rachel who was just keeping a tag on ratchet. They Ran towards the fray picking off any other tyrranoids that happened to be there. Sasha was just a few more yards away…
