Thanks everyone for reviewing! Here's another chapter fresh from Microsoft Word and hot from the update! Enjoy!

Chapter 1

In and Out of The Darkness

Ratchet hurled through darkness floating in air. He felt as if he was a fast roller coaster without a handle rail. He closed his eyes, braced himself and prepared to die. Seconds passed. Minutes passed.

"C'mon get it over with already!" he thought despairingly.

But instead of dieing he went faster and faster until he plunged down below. He landed softly on darkness. Ratchet sat up and rubbed his head. Amazingly, he was still alive. Or was this heaven?

Or was it hell! It seemed more like hell than heaven. Ratchet shuddered at the possibility of it. He looked around in the darkness. Nothing was here.

"I'm gonna kill Quark for this!" he muttered furiously. "If I ever return back, I'm gonna tear that idiot limb from limb!"

Starship Phoenix

"You idiot!" screamed Sasha, grabbing Quark and shaking him violently. "You just killed Ratchet!"

"It's not my fault," said Quark guilty, trying to find a way out of the situation.

"Oh yes it is!" shrieked Sasha.

She suddenly burst into tears. Skidd came by and noticed the cazer crying.

"Yo Sash, why you crying?" asked Skidd.

"Quark just killed Ratchet," Sasha said glaring at the butt-chinned superhero.

"Whoa!" said Skidd in surprise. "Dude, that is so uncool!" "What happened?"

"Err…me and Ratchet were just messing around and I…well…shot out a black hole and he was sucked into it," confessed Quark.

Skidd's jaw dropped.

"Don't worry," Quark assured him. "He's probably not dead and we could probably get Al to get him out."

"I'm gonna kill you for this!" muttered Sasha, angrily.

Inside the Black Hole

A lone lombax wandered around in the darkness. He yelled, he ran, he tried everything possible to get out of the darkness. Finally he gave up and sat down.

"It's no use," said Ratchet, tears dripping down his furry face. "I'm stuck here forever!"

He starting sobbing, thinking of all the things he hadn't done yet. Marrying Sasha, having a son, becoming the #1 Galactic hero, and lots of other things left unfinished. So many dreams shattered. So many hopes gone. He sat there weeping for what seemed like hours and hours.

Then out of the corner of his eye he spotted a bit of light. The light which was pure white was at the end of the darkness. It started covering up all the gloom and spread. Soon it was all around Ratchet. It got brighter and brighter until he had to cover his eyes.

Soon the short lombax was shimmering. His body tingled and was completely absorbed by the pale glow. Colorless light blinded him.

FLASH! He suddenly vanished and went unconscious. Dream mode kicked in.

Yes I know these chapters are short. Fear not, for they will get longer soon! Also I'll add more detail in the chapters soon too. As always, review!
