(A/N) Sorry… long update, it's been hard planning…
Disclaimer: I don't own Ratchet and Clank… or Senses Fail.

"You! Private!" Sasha yelled at a suited up private heading for a drop ship.
He quickly turned around and said, "Yes Ma'am ?" He asked at her sudden command.
"I want my son back here ALIVE! Attack the ship from the side before it goes down, understood?"
"Ma'am yes ma'am!" He said turning away and running to his post.
(Star Ship Phoenix)
The ship began shaking as several missiles hit the Phoenix. Ratchet barked out several commands to no avail as it ended up with men running around with no idea. After several minutes of continues pounding on the ship, Ratchet had gotten most of the men to the hangar to abandon the ship. Several ships got off the ground and the blue ignition was hit, sending several of them to their fates. Just as a fourth of the crew was off the doomed ship an inbound enemy ship was inbound. It shot off four rockets precisely at the locks disabling the holo shield that protected the hangar.
The four men piled out and Ratchet smirked. There was no way four guys were going to eliminate three fourths the crew of the Phoenix.
But his smirk was quick to go as they shot out a riot wall (Got it from Project: Snowblind. It's basically a grenade that shoots out a strong metal wall) providing stable protection for the four.
"Open fire!" Ratchet yelled and a volley of different colored lasers hitting the metallic walls in all different places. "Seize fire!" Ratchet screamed.
The fire stopped and the wall looked pretty dinged.
Ratchet sent a man over to check it out. He peered behind the metal and the only thing heard was four bullet shots. His body flew back, hitting the ground with a thud.
Before Ratchet could yell out another order he was silenced by one of the AZ army's privates throwing a blue glowing ball in the middle of the hangar.
It rotated while floating. Everyone had their eyes on it. It let off a blue aura and casted sever member of the Galactic Army into a daze of awe. It's rotating then stopped and it began to rumble and shake violently. The blue turned to red and the menace kept coming. It seemed to shake the deck as everyone began to hit the deck in anticipation of an explosion… a big one.
But to everyone's amazement… it stopped. A marine went up to touch the orb but was knocked back by a big glowing blue-black pole that shot to the corner of the room. Followed by four other that hit every corner of the room.
Once all were in proper position they lit up and created an electric fence with everyone inside it trapped.
A few stupid marines ran up to the fence but were immediately knocked unconscious.
They're bodies just lie on the hard metal ground shaking in a seizure like manor.
Ratchet went over and checked they're vitals. He placed his two fingers slowly on their necks but before he could get a correct read the floor began shocking everyone within the electric fence.
Screams could be hear probably from the Starship Flamer… and they were in space.
And in the swirling masquerade of sound my body hits the ground…
You could feel the thuds of bodies slamming into the cold floor of metal nothingness. Ratchet tried to sustain his balance by grabbing the floor while on his hands and knees.
He could see himself getting dizzy and occasionally twitch violently and have to regain his balance, every time getting harder.
He fell completely for the first time, slamming his shoulder to the ground.
The lombax slowly and painfully got up, but fell back down. Slamming his head to the ground…
(Prisoner Hold Room, Starship Flamer)
Ratchet groggily awoke and found himself tied to a hard metal chair. His hands were bound together behind him. Also, his legs were tied to the legs of the chairs.
He looked around. His head was still spinning and his eyes took a few minutes to focus. His head pounded, reminding him of the pain he faced on the Phoenix. Blood slowly trickled from his forehead where he had previously fallen. He groaned a little at all the pain he was facing.
After finally regaining proper vision he looked around, only to find the rest of the crew tied up to their own hard, cold, uncomfortable chairs.
A tall, dark man stood at the front of a big stage and behind him was a large window, big enough for the whole crew to see. It was currently closed with rusty metal taking it over.
The tall soldier lowered his big gun and began a menacing speech.
"Well hello, my fair bastards!" He began yelling at all the trapped men and women. "You are now aboard the Starship Flamer the ship which holds the contestants of the popular game show Annihilation Zone. The crew has been persuaded with money… and whatever else they wanted and now… we have an army more powerful than the one you PATHETIC fools fight for. Since you're on the main fleet of the AZA, you can only guess it's heavily guarded so… don't try anything… funny." He said chuckling. "But enough of the scary talk, I'll let our missiles speak for us." He said stepping aside and waving his hand showing the slowly opening window. It creaked open and showed a burning Phoenix. Several people gasped and winced at the sight.
At the sound of four rockets, the Starship Flamer shook. Four massive rockets escaped from the hull and were heading for the phoenix.
Within seconds they saw the phoenix disintegrated by the awesome force of the rockets. The ship they loved, lived on, spent most of their life on… completely obliterated.
A few chunks of the Phoenix flew around free in space.
And only one thing was on his mind; his son.
Tears began to roll down his cheeks as he thought more and more of his baby boy who was on the ship… now gone never to be seen by him again.
Ratchet wanted to scream, to beat the big tough guard with his fists. He even wanted to hit Sasha, being the cause of all this.
He couldn't control his thoughts. They were running wild like the angry beast he really was right now.
He felt like just giving up. Taking the revolver to the head, the razorblade, the dive of destiny.
All the sudden, it just didn't matter…
(A/N) Well I changed the ending for this chapter last minute, I'm not sure which would be better, so I hope you like this one.
P.S. Two music things in this chapter.
