*Clank's P.O.V*
It was about midday before any sort of events started happening however this was one that I would of preferred not to deal with. Despite me and Sigmund diligently keeping anamolies controlled there were a few near our sector that seemed to reopen without issue.
I'm pretty sure it's because of the time shift that Ratchet managed to stop just in time before it was unstoppable however it had been going for a good twenty minutes before Ratchet had shut it down though it nearly costed him his own life much like in another timeline it could of been Alister instead. There were four possible paths I could theorized which were the previous two, the shift could of miraculously succeeded but, all memories of a previous time would be scrubbed away and then the most devastating would be the universe not existing and this whole situation would be a broken link fated to never be discovered no matter how many years went by.
My father had good intentions about building the clock which did work to stabilize everything however he may have ultimately created something just as dangerous as the lombax artifact, the dimensonator. Both were extremely powerful and if in the wrong hands became deadly as we saw first hand with Tachyon just what it was capable of. If it hadn't been for the combined efforts of miss Apogee, Ratchet as well as Cronk and Zephyr I have a feeling Tachyon would of succeeded and Ratchet would of been the first to fall shortly followed by miss Apogee and from there it would of became a blood bath.
Just the idea of Ratchet not being here was something I wasn't ready to accept but, I don't think I ever really will be. I'm aware it will eventually happen as he is an organic and they all pass on eventually to go on a different adventure that I won't be able to follow but, Ratchet and hopefully even alister will get to see his old friend and Ratchet will get to see his father and mother there.
Back on the task at hand I had gone to regrab my sceptor and once again fixed the anomalies while Sigmund did a status check to try to figure out what was causing it. According to Sigmund even he thought it seemed weird that this anomaly kept returning at a rather frequent basis which as expected gave me a bit of concern but also curiosity.
There was this nagging feeling that this anomaly was something to check out but, I didn't exactly have the means to do that as it was potentially a trap of some sort. The anomaly opened far too frequently to just be a time rift. I wanted to go and explore it but, I didn't dare send Ratchet or even alister to that location as this feeling I was getting wasn't a good one. It matched scarily with the same feeling I had when the craigmite army came through two years ago.
If that was the case we needed to let talwyn know as soon as possible so we could figure out a plan. I'm just hoping it's not what I'm fearing as we are nowhere near ready for another war with those blood thirsty killers and I know ratchet nor the general would be able to deal with him again. Alister would have no control on his emotions and would be forced to live his worst nightmare again and Ratchet being the protective person he is would risk his own life to save everyone here and out in the universe if it meant we all would live to see another day however I knew talwyn wouldn't be able to help us this time as her duties kept her busy everyday but, she needed to know about this threat so we had time to form a plan.
As I watched the spot that I had attempted to close again the feeling of dread never left and being around Ratchet as long as I have its a feeling I've gotten all too used to I'm just hoping I'm wrong.
