I do not own Ratchet and Clank (I wish I did) that honor belongs to insomniac games. This is for entertainment purposes only.
ON WITH THE STORY!
The next day at fort crimson, Ratchet was walking down a long corridor to where he had tied up his captive the day before. One of the resistance members was walking next to Ratchet, he had white fur with black stripes. He was ex praetorian guard Interrogations Unit. "Did you get the things I requested Gunnar?" The lombax known as Gunnar nodded his head "Yea I got what you need". "My side is still a bit stiff. If he manages to get ahold of me get in here, i'm not sure if I can fight yet". The duo came up on a reinforced steel door that had two guards standing in front of it. "Head up to observation" Ratchet said. The two guards and Gunnar saluted and they walked into a door that was right next to the interrogation chamber.
Ratchet opened the door to the room and it was about medium sized. The spotter that Ratchet captured was sitting in the center of the room tied up in a chair. The prisoner's ears perked at Ratchets footsteps and he lifted his head up to get a good look at his captor. Ratchet just stood there for a few seconds until he pulled a chair over in front of the captive. "What was your mission?" The captive spat in Ratchets face. Ratchet was not amused. In fact it only pissed him off more. "Okay since you aren't going to cooperate I am going to have to get rough". Ratchet walked over to his cart of goodies and he rolled it over to his prisoner. Ratchet picked up and examined a scalpel that was sitting on his cart. He walked behind the captive and knelt down. "This is the last time I will be civil, what was your mission" Ratchet whispered in a sinister tone as he brushed the blade of the scalpel across the captives cheek. "P-piss off" the captive stuttered. Ratchet rolled his eyes and made a long deep cut down the side of the captives cheek. He screamed in agony as blood ran out from the cut. "WHAT WAS YOUR MISSION" Ratchet yelled! "To find the resistance and report to Kane"the captive said in a defeated voice.
"Now that wasn't very hard now was it? Next question, how many men does Kane command" Ratchet asked
"Why are you doing this to me? I'm just following orders"
I am the one asking questions! Here is something to teach you not to speak out of turn" Ratchet walked back to his cart. He turned around with two clamps in his hands. "You know our ears are good for so many things, but they could quite possibly be our biggest downfall." Ratchet started connecting the clamps to the captives ears. "No please don't, I wont speak any more I promise" "Too late" Ratchet said as he tightened the clamps "argh! please, Take them off, I will talk, I will tell you anything just please Take these things off!" The captive screamed, he was now on the verge of tears. Ratchet grabbed the man by the neck and got in his face "You had better tell me everything then" Ratchet spoke with the darkest voice that he could. Ratchet loosened the clamps but they were still tight. "The more you talk the looser they will get, but if you try to dodge a question, or speak out of turn again, I will tighten them". The captive nodded his head.
"How many men does Kane command?" The captive was panting heavily from the pain. "He has close to two thousand men at his command. Most of them were praetorian guard. Some of the newer people like myself were just civilians who were too scared to refuse Kanes offer to join with him." Ratchet nodded, he loosened up the clamps a bit more. "One more question. Are there any weak points in Kanes base?" The captive nodded "There is a crumbling wall on the east side of the elder council. That is where Kane is hold up". Ratchet unclamped the captives ears. "Thank you for the information. I will send someone down with some nanotech to treat your wounds." With that Ratchet walked out of the interrogation cell.
When Ratchet stepped out, the first person he saw was Lucilla standing there with a look of shock on her face. "What's wrong Lucilla?" Ratchet asked. "We don't torture people Ratchet! What the hell is wrong with you?" Ratchet rolled his eyes. "If I didn't do this we would have no information. Now we have enough to turn the tide in our favor. Lucilla's expression went from shocked to curious. "Turn the tide how?" Lucilla asked. Ratchet grinned "there is a crumbling wall on the east side of Kanes stronghold. We can ambush him there." Lucilla nodded and the two of them walked to Kates office to tell her of the information that Ratchet had learned.
Ratchet arrived at Kates office and he knocked on the door. "Its open" Kate said from the other side. Ratchet and Lucilla walked in and got in the at ease stance. "What do you guys need?" Ratchet walked up to his mothers desk. "I have learned about a fault in Kanes defences. I think we should send some scouts out to see if the information is correct". Kate stood up from her desk and walked over to Ratchet. "And how did you get this information?" Ratchet took hold of his ears "ear clamps". Kate was disgusted with Ratchet. "I will go along with your new information, but if I hear you do anything like this again, son or not, I will throw you into the brig for a month". Ratchet nodded in understanding. "Before we head out I have something to do first". With that Ratchet turned around and walked back down the hallway that he came from.
After a fifteen minute walk, Ratchet was at the infirmary. He paused before he entered the room. After gathering his thoughts, Ratchet opened the door and walked in to see Rook. Rook's whole chest was covered in bandages, and he looked like he was in a lot of pain. "How are you feeling" Ratchet asked. Rook turned his head to face Ratchet. "Well, i'm alive, thanks to you". Ratchet smiled and pulled over a chair to the side of Rooks bed. "Well, I just wanted to come and see how you were holding up. I have an op tonight, we're going to get payback for the things that Kane had put us through that I promise." Rook smiled "Good to know we are finally making some headway, good luck". Ratchet nodded "Thanks" With that Ratchet left the room and he got ready for the operation.
