Chapter 10: Showdown on Tabora
Ratchet and Clank, along with Kid Nova, Hydro Girl and Venus landed on Tabora and stood in a perfect battle line waiting for the Hero Collector, who arrived shortly after.
"Look at them, Leila, they would happily fight, thinking to be safe when I'm defeated." he laughed as he landed.
"They are not doing it to save their own hides, they are heroes, they are selfless, they are saving the innocents: me, the people in your factory and the other planets." said Leila.
"Shut up!" he shouted.
He left the ship and faced the heroes.
"It's time to face the punishment of your crimes." said Kid Nova.
"Ha ha ha, yeah right, kiddo, but I don't think you ca handle it, being in a team doesn't make a win." he said.
He got a laser out and shot at Clank. Clank fell and the blast rebounded into Venus, knocking her out the fight.
"See, two down with one shot." he said, and aimed at Ratchet next.
"You have no chance, there was a reason you took out Clank and Venus first, something bothers you about robots." said Ratchet and then he dodged the laser shot.
"Where's Leila?" asked Hydro Girl.
"In my ship. You don't think I will let you get in do you?" he trapped Hydro Girl in a laser bubble as she ran toward his ship.
"No, Ratchet…why?" asked the Hero Collector. Ratchet had stabbed him while he was distracted by Hydro Girl.
"You were trying to stuff heroes and torture citizens, but no more." said Ratchet, releasing the blade, he had got it from Clank who had found it earlier.
"My God, is he gone? Is it over?" asked Kid Nova, crawling over to them.
"Yeah, he's gone. Hydro Girl, is Leila okay?" asked Ratchet.
Hydro Girl came out the ship carrying her.
"Yeah, but she's still nervous, we better get her home."
Ratchet picked up Clank and Venus and carried them into Venus' ship.
"Are we ready to go?" he asked.
"Yes, when in space, we should send a message telling heroes it's now safe." said Kid Nova.
When in space, Hydro Girl got the device working.
"Citizens of the many galaxies, I bring good news, many of you will recognise me as Hydro Girl, the heroine of Planet Aquatos in the Solana Galaxy, I have been travelling with other heroes: Ratchet, Clank and Kid Nova, I am happy to say we defeated the Hero Collector and all heroes are safe now, so are citizens!"
Around the galaxies, people were cheering and the citizens in the factory managed to escape.
"Are we going back home, Hydro?" asked Leila.
"Yes, little princess, we are." said Hydro hugging her little friend.
After arriving on Aquatos and hiring a person to help protect Leila until she becomes Queen, the heroes decided to get back to their homes, Kid Nova left to Planet Unknown.
"Thanks, Ratchet, I have had fun, despite the dangers, I hope I meet you again."
They shook hands and Kid Nova took off in a ship.
"Well, I guess we'll see you later Hydro Girl, it's been fun, like Kid Nova said." said Ratchet.
"Visit again Ratchet, for better reasons, us heroes do get leisure time, you know." she said.
He shook her hand but she kissed him.
"Goodbye, Ratchet and Clank, I'm glad you're repaired, same for you too Venus." she said.
"It's Ratchet, he's so skilled he can repair anything." said Clank.
Ratchet and Clank got in a ship to Veldin, Venus got into a ship to Lot 42, the home of Holostar Studios. Perhaps one day, our heroes will need to save the world as a team again.
