Chapter 22: Ragnorak Part 1

Ratchet stood in the open bay of the dropship with Clank on his back.

Clank's arm were exchanged for wings.

Ratchet's Charge boots revved.

A wrist communicator currently showed the galactic time.

His wrench spun in his hand.

Infernox armor covered his body.

Various instruments hummed and beeped uselessly.

"Are you ready, Clank?"

"I was assembled for this."

"Good, then lets make this count."

The Aridia landscape was as desolate as ever, which in fact was a good thing considering the war that was going to happen soon. All of the supplies were assembled and camoflouged accordingly. Two rangers were setting up a bet.

"So, if Ratchet dies, I win 50,000 bolts but I lose 75 boltsif he dies?"

"Yep."

"Woopee! I'm goin' be rich!"

"Who says he's going to win?"

"Dude--"

"I mean have you seen this thing!"

"Dude--"

"Ratchet will get chopped to pieces!"

"Dude, look behind you!"

When the ranger turned and saw (Guess who!) Ratchet, his head was chopped off and the lombax moved into the briefing tent.

"So, what's the plan?"

"All you have to do is stall him for 3 minutes, move out of the way, and bam! No more Reznor!"

"What is going to stop him from just flying off the planet?"

"We set up a laser web around the planet so nobody is getting off that planet."

"Okay, lets just hope everything goes according to plan."

Ratchet moved to get ready as the final preparations were made.

When everything was made ready, a familiar figure glided down from the sky.

2 Minutes Later

"Looks like you don't know when to learn."

"I wasn't the one who ran away last time!"

With an angry snarl, Reznor charged forward but Ratchet simply ran on top of his bent body. Unfortunately, the monster couldn't stop.

SMASH

With no dip in his vigor, Reznor ran back into the fray with claws slashing. Ratchet deflected the blows with his wrench.

CHINGCHINGCHINGCHINGCHINGCHING

Ratchet retaliated with some swipes of his own but Reznor blasted towards the wrenches.

BLAST

Both fighters were sent flying in opposite directions. Ratchet got up and wall jumped. He spun like a twister with wrenches extended. Reznor stretched out his hand and caught the blade.

SHING

1:23 minutes left

Reznor spin-tossed Ratchet into a wall.

CRACK

The spunky lombax got up unphased and and lept forward quickly. Grasping both arms, Ratchet fell backwards and rolled, flinging the monstrosity.

THUD

Lifting both hands into the air, he smashed the ground, sending orange shockwaves towards Reznor.

BLAST

Getting up quickly, the creature let out a sonic roar attack and Ratchet was airborne before long.

48 seconds left

He grabbed the ground with claws extended but he was sliding slowly. Thinking quickly, he remembered there was another person with him.

"Clank, I could use some help!"

Clank's antenna glowed green and fireda bolt of pure energy at the beast.

SHOCK

Reznor groaned in pain and sank to one knee, closing his mouth.

"Thanks, buddy."

Ratchet charged forward, drop-kicking the freak in the face.

CRUNCH

26 seconds left

"We better get him into the position."

Dragging Reznor to the center of the plain, Ratchet moved him into range of the teleporter. Unfortunately, the beast was only playing possum. He grabbed an arm and threw him to the floor.

SMASH

Reznor got up and dropped an elbow to Ratchet's sternum.

CRUSH

When Reznor tried to drop another elbow, the lombax rolled out of the way. Out of pure revenge, Ratchet hopped and came down, his knee landing on Reznor's face.

9 seconds left

Ratchet tried to punch him but the beast caught his hand. Ratchet tried to fight out but Reznor grabbed his other hand.

6 seconds left

Both fighters struggled to overpower the other.

4 seconds left

The tension was mounting at the mobilebase. One ranger couldn't take the suspense.

"Ratchet, get out of the way!"

2 seconds left

"What the-"

0 seconds left

A green flash and both were gone.

Final Thought- Told you it wasn't over! It may take a while but I will post the final chapter soon. Have a safe and happy vacation.

Ciao!
