Chapter 13 Kill Or Be Killed:

"M-me?" The golden Lombax said, shakely towards the female Viric. He turned his back on her but still felt eyes piercing into him. Looking down confused, he thought, Why? Why can't I think of my past or anything? What's wrong with me? His emerald eyes fell onto the ground. He couldn't think of anything from eariler on. Not one slight thing.

Lola moved closer to Ratchet and made him turn around to face her. She didn't like talking to back of heads. She wanted to look into eyes. Putting both of her cold hands on his furry face that made him shiver slightly, she shushed him quietly. "It's okay, Ratchet. You belong here. Here with me."

He thought for a moment. Then the Lombax brought the other closer into a long hug and smiled. "Yes. Yes, I do belong with you." He replied. Rubbing his head onto of the female's, they both grinned together. Maybe, everything was turning out alright. Actually, everything was turning out great! Lola literally chuckled at it.

The Viric pushed Ratchet away, his scent started to get stronger the longer they got close to each other, but held his arms lightly. "Right, erm. Look I want you to so a quick investigation on Planet Lumos." Letting go of him, she sat down on her desk. "I want you to find out if this person is alive or not." Pressing a blue button, a holo-picture came up on her computer screen.

Ratchet walked up to the desk and looked right at the picture. Thinking about it, his sight turned back to Lola. "And, who exacly is this?" He said, while waving one of his hands through the air. Was it him, or has he seen his male before? Ah, it's properly nothing.

She smiled and replied the him, "General Alister Azimuth. A rebel. Exile. Threat to you and me." Holding onto Ratchet's hands in her smaller ones, she continued. "If he gets in the way, he'll kill us. Destroy our relation. He must be stopped at all costs!"

Ratchet got down on one knee, kissed her right hand and starred deeply into the other's crimson eyes. "Don't worry. That General will not see light for another day." He spat the word 'general' out like it was poisonious. Unwanted. Getting back up, the Lombax ran out of the headquarters quickly. Ratchet jumped into his made do ship and punched in the corrdinates to Lumos. Flying out the warships's hanger, he made his way to the planet below him in space.

The flight was only 5 minutes. Short yet dangerous. His ship almost got destroyed by the ashtroids. Luckly, he was an expert driver. Stopping on a landing pad, he grabbed all the weapons and gadgets he'll need for the mission before jumping out of the ship.

Pulling out his constructo-pistol, the young Lombax searched around the crash sight of Alister's starship. Lifting up pieces of metal from the ship, or rock from the tall cliff's of Lumos. Still no sight of the old exile. Until something moved in the corner of Ratchet's eye, turning to his right. There he was. Alister Azimuth was standing there with his double-ended wrench out. It was aimed right at the other.

Realising it was Kaden's son, he lowered his weapon. He left is defence down, this was a perfect time for the golden Lombax to make his move. Kicking the long wrench out of the general's hands, it was now his turn to point his gun at the older one.

"R-Ratchet. It's me, Alister." The elder trembled. What was Ratchet doing? He would never do this unless Lola- He gasped. Lola! He screamed in his mind. She did something to him. Something to forget things. Certain things, maybe?

Ignoring him and still held his weapon high enough the shoot the other in the head. "If he gets in the way, he'll kill us. Lola's sentence came into his mind, shouting at him to kill Azimuth. "Must kill, or be killed..." Ratchet muttered. "You've changed my life. You've made me happier." Alister's voice went over the female's. The young Lombax didn't know waht to do. "Can't kill...own kind...No. Must do it, for Lola." He started to tremble again. His vision got cloudly. No, it's not the time for crying. "I can't...kill him...But I have...to...to..."

While the other was confused in his own words, the General ran up and hit the pistol out of his hands. Placing his bigger hands on Ratchet's shoulders and gently shaking him. "Ratchet! Snap out of it!" He yelled right in the other's ears. The younger still wasn't listening; he was mumberling phrases over and over again.

Oh, come on! What can I do? Alister screamed in his head. Just then, an idea popped into his mind. As much as it wasn't appropriate, it had to work. The older Lombax pressed his lips onto the other's. It had to work. It had to work.

OH MAN, was that quite a long chapter? Sorry if there are some spelling mistakes, but I just wrote it up in like 5 minutes! Which is pretty good for me :) I haven't been writing for quite a while now 'cause I've been SO busy with other things...*cough*likejustdoingrandomdrawings*cough*

Anyway, that's all I have for now folks, but I'll be back to update some more 'Blue Orb' chapters. Stay tuned and have a great day!
