Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back with another story. This one about Rachet and Clank. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Rachet and Clank, Insomniac and a few others do.
"Stop him!" The voice yelled at the helmeted figure continued to sprint.
"Why did they choose me?" The figure asked before he slid behind a piece of worn metal. "Ok, what were the directions for this?" He asked as he sighed and held his right arm up.
There was a device within it built by his kind…. One which allowed them to rip open a portal like the dimensionator. The only issue with this one? It was neither constructed to be on that scale. While the figure had been given it as a test? He also knew said device was pressed to its limits.
"The phase quartz only holds up to five charges before it burns out, and I used it… Three, I think?" He asked before he peered over cover.
One of the soldiers chasing him fired a blast which melted the metal and deformed it. The figure sighed before he drew his burst pistol and spun from cover to open fire.
"Reclaim the blueprint!" One of the soldiers yelled before another entity started to emerge.
The figure noticed it clearly: A drophyd transport ship. It was enough to drive the warrior into a fighting retreat as he looked at the device again.
"Might as well…" He said before he squeezed his other hand. "Any dimension is better than this!" He said as one of the drophyds slammed into him.

The small imperial starship started to descend towards one of the landing zones for the area. The pilot pressed a button as the ship slowly descended. A small machine next to said pilot turned to the pilot. Their cyan optics clicked shut for a moment as they contemplated a small question to their companion.
"Rivet? May I ask something?" The small robot questioned as the vessel slowly set down. "If there are no longer any restrictions on imperial starships? Why are we still using one?" The robot asked as the pilot rotated.
Rivet, a female Lombax with silverish grey fur, dusted off her clothes with her robotic right arm. She shrugged to herself more then her friend and partner as the translucent glass opened and she and her partner exited.
"Well? 1? It's cheaper and easier than buying another ship… Unless you'd like to ask Ms. Zurkon?" Rivet asked as the robot attached to her back. "2? Call it a victory trophy. The empire has been collapsing since Nefarious was defeated if you forgot. Only parts left are holdouts that robot secretary Nefarious built is commanding." Rivet said as she looked into the sky.
'3 months ago, and there were imperial battlecruisers in the sky and troopers blowing up the Gelatonium plant. Now? All we have to worry about is the acid… And grunthors.' Rivet stated mentally before something caught her eye.
A purple tear in reality which slammed shut with a boom as Rivet smirked. It seemed Rachet had come back after finishing his work in his dimension. She leapt onto another platform while she continued to talk to her friend.
"Fair enough." Rivet heard as she blinked and grabbed another platform. "Here is another. The morts are your family, as Gary and the Monks on Salvali are mine…. Will they be ok with you traveling to the Lombax dimension?" Rivet heard as she balanced on a rock surrounded by acid.
The question was not really an easy one for her to answer. It was still a question that merited ponder. The morts did raise her as others did with Rachet. Neither had known their species well enough to consider trading their existences for their people.
But? There was the smallest chance they'd be welcomed back. They wanted to try, and to them? They had all the reason to want to try.
"I…" Rivet started to say before the sounds of gunfire drew her away from the question. "Hold that thought… Those guns don't sound like pirates or anything imperial…" Rivet stated before she powered her boots on and began to skate forward.
The gunfire was followed by a voice… One which didn't sound anything like Rachet.
"Bring it, which one of you fishes want it first!?" Rivet heard only for the sound of something hitting stone.
She pulled her hammer from her back.
