Chapter 8 The Plan:


Meanwhile in an unknown area...

Lola was walking back and forth while talking to Lord Vorselon (who was in his warship) on the Holo-communicator. "So, you're saying that you choaked the younger, then stabbed him in the stomach, gave a little information to the elders, and finally teleported back onto your warship before they couldn't do anything to ya." She said, sounding a bit off. Like she was annoyed or maybe angry. However her face didn't show it, she eyes did.

"Yes, master. That's exactly what I did - quick and simple." He smirked, thinking how badly injured the golden Lombax must be. The Terraklon thought that Lola would be proud of him for what he did.

Her blood red eyes stared at the other in anger. "Why in the god dam universe would you give them some information!" If she could punch him around the face, she would of done with all the strength she had.

"But all I gave them was-"

"I don't care!" Calming herself down, she moved a piece of her hair that was in her face with her hand. "Who knows what they'll find out now. Even my baby brother would of been smart enough to not give any valuable info away!" A sigh. Men these days.

Awkward silence filled the atmosphere around the two. Vorselon cleared his throat so Lola was looking at him again; oh how he loved the colour of her eyes. They showed no mercy, total evilness. "What should we do about the Lombaxes and bird then?"

The Terraklon's question got Lola into a thinking state. If we keep on hurting the younger then the elder is surely gonna do something about it. But if we leave them, then they might get an advantage over us. Hmm, decisions, decisions, decisions... She then smirked, and that smirk made Lord Vorselon grin. He knew that smile, that wonderful bad-ass smile, she was up to something. Something that the Lombaxes were going to remember.

Ratchet hissed in pain as he was slowly trying to get off the hospital bed he was stuck on for about a week. He regained his blood, but the pain around the wound he had was still there. Moving again, he moaned. Alister had gone off to re-fuel his ship before taking them both to a place where it was more safer. He told Ratchet to not move until he got back. The younger didn't listen as his feet were dangling over the bed's edge.

Slowly lifting his weight with his ungloved hands, he moved closer to the edge. Another wave of pain flowed around his little skinny body. Ratchet closed his green eyes, he tried to think of something to get the pain off of his mind. However all that came into his mind was a Terraklon, Lord Vorselon, holding a blood stained knife. The younger gasped and snapped his eyes open before anything else would come up. Ratchet looked at his hands in sadness. Why am I turning so weak?

"Ratchet?" The younger heard a familiar voice. Moving his head up to where the voice came from; Alister was standing in the door way. "I thought I told you to stay in bed until I got back." Azimuth walked over to the other, he then knelt down and put his hands onto Ratchet's shoulders gently. Not wanting to put much pressure onto the younger. "Are you sure you want to leave so soon? I mean your still in pain."

Ratchet was about the fight back that last sentence but a finger was placed onto his lips. They started to tingle, not in a way that it was annoying, but in a way that it felt...quite nice. Alister shushed him and carried on speaking. "Don't even try and bother hiding it." He smirked. Then took his finger away from the other's face.

"The food here is disgusting, at least one doctor is checking on you every 5 minutes and you lay in a bed all day." He smiled. "So yeah. I'm pretty sure I wanna get out of this place as soon as possible."

Azimuth chuckled at Kaden's son humour. Just like his father. Kaden always had that kind of humour in him, and so did Kaden's father and Kaden's father's father. Heh, must run through the family."Alright then. If you say so."

"Not just yet." And with that, Ratchet slung both his arms around the other's neck, rubbing the side of his head against Alister's. "Thanks for everything you have done for me." He whispered into one of the elder's ears. "I mean this so much."

Alister was too startled to even move a muscule. He was getting a lot of close embracements with the younger. He just knelt there blinking, he didn't know what to do. Should he join in with the hug to return the favour or leave it and most likely make the other sad. But he couldn't-

Ah screw it. He put his arms around Ratchet's back and pulled the other into a big long hug. "Your welcome." He whispered back. "You've changed my life. You've made me happier. Pulling back to look into Ratchet's big green emerald eyes, how full of life they were. His face was just inches away from the younger's. He could literary feel Ratchet's breath on his face. There was a spark between both of them. But what was it?

While Ratchet stared into Alister's deep amber eyes, he felt a weird feeling growing inside of himself. But it only came when he saw Alister. His view turned downwards. Was there something about the older Lombax? Why am I feeling this way? He could feel Azimuth's heart beat through his chest onto his own. They were so close. His lips were tingling even more but still it wasn't uncomfortable.

Looking back into a pair of amber eyes, those eyes, so shiney. He just couldn't resist, he had to. It just felt right, like it was the right moment. Slowly Ratchet closed his eyes and destroyed the distance between him and Alister. He placed his lips onto Azimuth's.


Sorry it took so long to update ^^; but it's finally here! Chapter 8! Yeah, you properly weren't expecting that! Were ya? Yeah, Lola is starting to appear from the 'dark' again.
