Chapter 7: Upgrade

Everyone was hanging out in Ratchet's room. Olga and Ratchet was training in the VR simulator, while the others were playing video games. A holovid screen came on with the president on it.

"Attention Q-force!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and stood in front of the holovid.

"Senators from Bogon and Solana are meeting on planet Aquatos for a peace conference and I want you to protect them."

Ratchet's face lit up like a lightbulb

"Really, No New Breed! Woohoo!"

"Actually, you will be assisting them.Well, Goodbye."

The president left Ratchet running around, destroying his own room.

Later, Ratchet was getting ready for the fight when Sasha walked in.

"You ready?"

"No, Al's doing something with my weapons."

"Ratchet, Skidd's going with you."

"What?"

"I tried to talk him out of it but he says he has to go."

"Oh God."

When Ratchet went to walk out of his room, Sasha grabbed his hand.

"Ratchet,"

When Ratchet turned his head, Sasha kissed him. Their lips were still locked when Al walked in.

"Ahem"

Both immediately stopped and flusterdly moved apart. She whispered in his ear:

"Come back alive."

When she left the room, Ratchet turned angrily to Al.

"Man, I was this close to getting laid!"

"I just wanted to tell you I upgraded your weapons to Delta mode."

"What's that?"

"Delta Mode is a weapons system that automaticly restores your ammo and modifies the weapon to maximize accuracy, speed, power, and effiency."

"Cool, but I don't think I'll need it."

Project Reznor landedclumsily on the planet Todano'ssurface

Home Sweet Home

As he moved towards the weapons facility, 3 mutant test squirrels dropped from the trees, showing their fangs. Reznor lazily threw an exploding plasma orb at them.

They're the least of my problems now.

He moved through the huge sliding doors and observed his surroundings.

Computers, chemicals, and lasers. No big deal. At full strength, I could simply smash straight through it but in my weakened state...I will have to anyway.

Dylan had been a security guard on Todano for 2 weeks and nothing interesting happened. You could imagine his surprise when he saw thetowering creature move towards the door. One wing was broken and there were many slashes but he was still intimidating. He blasted the door and Dylan stood in front of the ruins.

"What the hell are-"

He wasn't able to finish because at that moment he was psychically impaled onto a protruding steel spike, dead.

Pest

He moved to another steel door.

BAM

He moved to yet another steel door.

BAM

He moved forward to still another steel door.

How many freakin doors do they need?

BAM

And there it stood in front of him, a giant cylinder filled with a green glowing Nanotech orb.

Omega Nanotech

As he moved to the nanotech, Megacorp troopers teleported in and attacked. Their lasers bounced off his skinbut they began to jump onto his body.Reznor energized his blades and slashed thru the first 4 troopers but soon they overwhelmed him. A lietenant ordered his troops to continue swarming.

"Keep going, men! He will fall soon."

Soon Reznor was completely covered. For a few seconds, it looked like the battle was won. Then a blinding light filled the room as he expanded a psychic shield. He then dove straight for the cylinder.

"Men! You have to stop him now!"

But it was too late. He smashed straight through the glass and everyone stared in horror as the Omega Nanotech took its effect. His wing was mended and made even stronger. His white horns were replaced by black ones and his skin turned ebony black. With a smirk on his face, he fired a purple orb that stopped in midair and flashed, turning every soldier except the lietenant into ash. He flew into the air, blew a hole in the roof, and kept flying straight into space. The lietenant stood there stunned.

"This could be a problem."

Final Thought- How was it? Too long? Review and have a nice day.
