Chapter 9: Space Pursue

The ship was charging off Ardolis, but the Collector was following.

"We didn't get Leila." said Hydro Girl.

"Chances are she's on his ship. We may still get her, somehow." said Ratchet.

On his ship, he had a guard flying, a low level guard but enough for now.

"Leila, do you miss your mum? The good queen of Aquatos and your dad, the low consort." he laughed.

She was chained against a cross, (an X shape cross).

"Why do you want heroes?" she asked.

"Haven't I told you yet? Sorry darling but I want them on display, you see, many people in the galaxies I have been to have never seen a hero or heroine, some didn't know they existed so I will provide a way for everyone to see heroes." he said.

"But wouldn't they rather see heroes alive, not stuffed?" she asked.

"They should have said when I made a deal to provide them what they wanted." he laughed.

"But…" she started.

"Hey, stop asking questions, I'm not kind of guy all right." he shouted.

She backed off her next words.

"You are useless." he shouted to his guard.

"But sir, if you know heroes, then you know Ratchet is the best star pilot in the galaxi…"

He was killed and the Hero Collector got the controls and used the turbos to hit Ratchet's ship.

"He's on us, Clank, engage hyperspace." Ratchet said.

"We haven't got hyperspace." said Venus.

"Great, we will need to rely on old fashioned evading techniques then." said Ratchet, making the ship spin.

"Ratchet!" yelled Clank, panicking a little.

"Ratchet, we must find a place to land, he will only keep following us if we stay in space without a decent amount of speed." said Venus.

"I know, Venus, but if we land, there is no guarantee we can hide out, and I'm not a hiding person."

"I understand you, Ratchet, and if we must fight then I'm behind you all the way." said Kid Nova.

"Me too." said Hydro Girl.

"And I." said Clank. "Venus, are you?"

"Yes, Clank, yes I am, but it's very dangerous, so be careful." she said.

"Tabora is the nearest planet and it's perfect, there aren't many people residing there so a limited amount of risk." said Ratchet.

"He's changing course, he's landing on Planet Tabora, what a sap, he's trying to fight on a planet with limited people." said Hero Collector.

"Are you going to accept his challenge, if he is challenging you?" asked Leila.

"Yes, because I will finally get the prize heroes." and he directed the ship to follow Ratchet to Tabora.
