Chapter 9
Ratchet and Talwyn were in the main lounge, by themselves, with the huge T.V off. That was a rare event the T.V; usually it was playing Agent Clank, which got on only Talwyn's and Ratchet's nerves. They were just sitting, looking out the crystal window, and watching the universe go by, all the solar systems, the stars and other various parts of the universe. Talwyn ended breaking the silence,
'How are you feeling?'
'Ok, thanks. Still sore on the head but expected when you drive a jet-pack from what I heard thought many parts of a building.' Talwyn let out a girlish giggle.
'I will see what I can do with your jet-pack Tal, if not I will get hold of a new one, same style if I can.' Ratchet promised. Talwyn smiled at Ratchet.
'I am sorry about being mad earlier Ratchet, annoyed at the fact my Jetpack was broke and the fact you left without any notice.' Talwyn confessed. Ratchet sat and looked out the window for a moment.
'Promise you will not go out by yourself to do something like you did, at least give us notice and we can come with you, promise?' Ratchet thought on it for a moment.
'Ok Talwyn, I promise not to leave without giving any notice.' Ratchet sounded slightly suspicious. Talwyn looked at him; a piercing stare that was bound to make Ratchet talk. Ratchet tried to avoid eye contact. Women and suspiciously staring never worked well for Ratchet.
'Ok.' Talwyn finally said. Ratchet hugged her and she hugged him back. Talwyn smiled at Ratchet and went off to bed. When she left Ratchet let out a huge giggle, grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and started to write.
'Ratchet?' Talwyn called out. She was looking for Ratchet however she could not find him. That cat better have not ran off without telling me. She ended up going into the main lounge. She looked around and saw a piece of paper on the table. She went to pick it up and read it.
Hey Talwyn, just to let you know, I have gone out with Solo somewhere. This is me giving you notice. Take care love you xxx. Ratchet.
Talwyn scrunched up the piece of paper and threw it across the room.
'That sly cat!'
Ratchet and solo materialised into the same place they came before; when Ratchet went trigger happy, and mucked up his head with using the Jetpack. Ratchet looked around to see any sign of trouble. It looked clear.
'Right Solo, this time we go in quiet and make no noise… well big noise if we can help it.' Solo nodded and they wandered off. They headed off down what looked used to look like a road. They carried on wondering down the road for a good hour until they came across a massive bunker. It was just plain metal, nothing fancy such as the design on the great clock. There was what looked a like a prison. He nodded to Solo and in a matter of seconds they were inside the prison. Ratchet stood heart in mouth. It had appeared that Ratchet had broken in at lunchtime for the occupants of the prison; the occupants were however … Lombax's.
Mummers started to emerge in the canteen. Then one Lombax screamed out,
'Hey is that Kaden?'
'No you idiot, that looks nothing … well saying that… he looks awfully like the guy.' Another Lombax added. The mummers turned into whispers and then turned into normal talk. They all focused their attention on Solo.
'Wait, so Kaden was not so messed up in the head, the Zoni do exist! ' The same Lombax said. The doors in the canteen swung open. A heavily armoured Drophyd looked around the canteen and announce, 'Allright, allright lunch is-' the frog like creature caught sight of Ratchet.
'- ATTENTION ALL UNITS, SIGHT OF THE WANTED LOMBAX IS IN PRESSANCE IN THE CANTEEN.' Ratchet stood frozen. The Drophyd walked closer to Ratchet, he drew out his wrench ready to have combat with the frog. The Lombax that spoke the mostly earlier jumped onto the Drophyd and held its glass helmet to the ground.
'You are Kaden's son,' The Lombax shouted out. 'I knew him. He was a good man. Get yourself out of here before you become like us GO.' Ratchet nodded.
'I am so sorry.' Ratchet said. He felt so much pity. More troops barged through the door and more Lombax's joined in with the fray. Ratchet nodded to Solo and within moment they vanished.
