Chapter 3
A Bizarre Awakening
Ratchet woke up, groggily to the sounds of fighting.
"Get down!" shouted a voice.
PHOOM!
A fiery explosion rocked the area and hurtled Ratchet across the ground.
"We're all gonna die!" screamed another, this one mechanical.
More explosions hit and sent the startled lombax sailing.
"What the-!" he thought.
Ratchet looked up and saw battered hoverships flying in attack formations.
"Lord, help us!"
A green beam flew past his left shoulder.
A sudden bang followed.
Ratchet looked around.
Corpses were scattered around the vicinity, mostly robotic.
The surviving ones were running around, trying to flee while multi-colored bullets rained down upon them.
The robots looked just like the Galactic Rangers except for their sky blue armor.
Ratchet turned his head the other way.
What he saw made his jaws drop and his eyeballs pop out of their sockets.
Tyhrranoids! The war is still going on!
Ratchet shook his head slowly and muttered, "This can't be happening."
But it was.
There in plain view were about a dozen 4-eyed tyhrranoids floating in the air on their jetpacks, guns a blazing.
"How…can…this…be?" managed Ratchet watching in horror as they decimated every living thing in sight.
He stared at them for a moment and then rubbed his eyes. He looked again. They were still there.
Tyhrranoids… they're really here.
One of them unexpectedly pointed their gun directly at Ratchet.
Its 4 eyes locked onto the furry creature and the greenish index finger squeezed the trigger.
Ratchet sat frozen in fear as the burning light soared towards his chest.
A silver metal shovel suddenly went in front of him.
PING!
The shot was deflected and sent back to its owner.
"UGH!" the tyhrranoid grunted painfully before falling to the ground in a bloody mess.
Ratchet looked at the mysterious figure that had saved him and gasped in shock.
It was…himself!
No… this was a different lombax. More taller and broader and wielding an enormous shovel instead of a wrench.
As the mysterious lombax turned Ratchet could see he had dark blue eyes.
As he ran, his back showed a small robot identical to his buddy Clank strapped on.
The only difference was that this robot had yellow eyes and a bright orange covering while Clank's eyes were green and had a pure white covering.
"Where the hell am I?" Ratchet wondered as he looked around at the surrounding environment.
Then at last he realized where he was.
Towering skyscrapers. Ships everywhere zooming in orderly lines in the distance. Scented pine trees here and there. Forest green grass along with dull, gray sidewalks.
The lost lombax knew exactly where he was.
And he had a bad feeling what was going on………
I was originally planning to make this chapter longer but the ending is a cliffhanger. I think building up suspense would do good for this fanfic.
