(A/N) Not too many reviews… please do…

Ratchet and Skidd did what they had been doing for the past few hours, go in, grab man, and get back. But this time, it was different. The only sniper they could really find was guarded with a good number of five men.

And because they couldn't get noticed… they had to go in alone.

The sniper they wanted was up on a balcony with two men on the bottom guarding and two around him.

Skidd was going to repel to the roof where he would silently take out the two guards and Ratchet would simultaneously pick off the two men with a silenced pistol… not exactly fair but that was the only way he really had a chance.

When the pair reached the guards they learned something new, they had even more armor and weapons… making this impossible.

Skidd made his way up to the roof where he slowly crawled across the dark ceiling.

He gave the signal to Ratchet who was sneakily making his way around the two guards. Once Ratchet gave his hand signal Skidd repelled down and silently snapped the neck of the first guard.

The loud crack gave the other guard a notice and before he could shout anything he was silenced by Skidd's gag rag.

Ratchet, simultaneously, picked off the two guards from fifteen feet away.

The sniper was easily disposed of with another neck cracking.

The two disposed of the bodies in their HQ, which was rather disgusting.

Once there they prepared for the big daddy (or mommy in this case) of all captures-- The captain... Sasha.

She was heavily guarded on the main deck but it wasn't impossible. Ratchet figured he's use a term in the military called a flash shower.

Ratchet and Skidd will unpin about 6 flash bangs at the same time and throw them in. Not only is one enough to temporarily blind and deafen someone... but twelve at once is almost cruel. It could affect in serious long time problems... but did Ratchet give a damn? Hell no.

It was another Ratchet and Skidd only mission.

They gathered twelve Flash Bangs from the robot room and, to their surprise, they found Clank!

Clank hopped on Ratchet's back and propelled them to the ceiling. Skidd was located on the ceiling just fifteen yards away.

After a few close calls and silent kills they had reached the deck. It was about the size of the Phoenix's but instead of a raised platform where the captain would sit, it was lowered. Almost like a hole.

Ratchet gazed down upon his departed wife and suddenly gained a depressed feeling.

Sasha looked like shit... she was sad. Almost crying. This made Ratchet hesitate to get ready to completely wipe out her eyes and ears.

Ratchet looked over to his green friend and nodded.

With a special long metal rod, they both undid their Flash bangs and let them drop in specific locations- Covering the entire room.

There were several screams between when they were thrown and before they went off. But when they did go off... all could be heard was blood curling screams.

With the immense amount of stun grenades it had ruptured several of the guard's ears... which is one of the most painful things ever.

Ratchet and Skidd, to avoid being flashed, put in the special earplugs clank had and their flash proof sunglasses.

Once the stun grenades went off Ratchet propelled down to a crying Sasha and grabbed her by the waist.

On their way back he looked around his struggling wife's neck to see the necklace Ratchet had bought her on a date once was now replaced by a beautiful blue necklace with a red gem in the middle.

Ratchet's heart sunk at the thought of her seeing someone else. He couldn't help but feel bad for doing this to her after all she had done to him...

Sasha woke up on a stiff metal bench she went to move but she was tied down. She went to speak but her mouth was duct tapped.

Ratchet trudged over angrily and ripped the tape off her mouth as hard as he could.

She squealed a little but it didn't even phase Ratchet.

She was about to talk but Ratchet silenced her with his hand.

"Save your breath. You're gonna need It." he said coldly.

He walked away and an awkward silence fell upon them.

Sasha opened her mouth and tried to defend herself, "Ratchet! I'm sorry it--"

"SORRY!" Ratchet yelled, "Sorry! What the HELL is that!" He said walking over to her, "Sorry you ruined my life! Sorry half of my men's family's are going to be getting phone calls about their deaths. Sorry SO MANY were killed pointlessly! Sorry the ship is gone! Sorry my son is dead? Sorry the love of my life tried to slit my throat with a blunt knife!" he yelled.

Sasha started to form tears in her eyes.

By this time the other rebels had acquired a bigger hate for her.

"I don't even want to hear it!" Ratchet yelled. "The only thing keeping me from killing you is your value to our lives!" He said as harsh as he ever had to anyone.

"Ratchet-- I-- I-- Max is alive..." she said crying."When I attacked the Phoenix I made sure he was alive."

Ratchet felt the smallest spark erupt inside him.

He sat down and put his head in his hands.

"I have to explain, Ratchet!"

He waved a hand, "I told you, what you've done-- explaining, that ship has sailed. So shut up, sit down and don't piss me off."
