Ratchet and Alister: The Blue Orb
I DO NOT OWN RATCHET AND CLANK, INSOMNIAC GAMES DOES! LOLA AND DRAKE BELONG TO ME!
Chapter 20: Nightmares can become true
Carefully, Alister landed down onto planet Lumos' surface, where Lola was waiting for him. If it's a fight she wanted, it would be a fight she'd get.
He turned off the ship's engines as he turned to talk to Drake. "I want you to stay here, while I take care of some business."
Before the bird could argue, the General added, "Someone needs to look after Ratchet, but then someone needs to take care of Lola. I don't think you're up with fighting her, so you have no choice but to stay here."
With that, he left to meet up with the Viric for the last time. He didn't know if he would succeed in killing her, or if he would even survive, he just wanted to get some revenge from the pain she has caused to the younger in the past.
It didn't take long before finding the red-headed female. She stood in the open, but didn't come alone. Two of her guards were standing to the side, protecting the Blue Orb which was on a stand in between them.
"I see you took my request, Azimuth." Lola yelled out, smirking. "But it would be such a pity to completely destroy the Lombax population in the universe." Alister growled under his breath. That last sentence only added fuel to his bubbling rage.
"What do you even want with that kind of energy?" The Lombax asked, curiosly.
The Viric chuckled slightly. "I knew that question would come up sooner or later." Her face became serious. "I need that energy to escape this life!" She saw a confused expression cross the General's face. She sighed and continued, "So I can become mortal again. I've been stuck as this monster for hundreds of years. The only way for a vampire to change back, is to use a very powerful energy to replace the venom and un-freeze. To be alive." She paused. "And if I have to kill people who get in my way, then so be it."
Suddenly, she leaped into a battle with nothing but her speed and strength. Alister took out his wrench just in time to block Lola from colliding into his face. He had to use most of his own strength to push the angry female off of him.
The elder Lombax didn't concentrate as well as he should have, and the result ended up with him getting bite on the shoulder. He was luckly enough for the venom not to get into his system.
Back at the ship, Drake was sitting in silence, waiting for the other to return. However, the bird wasn't patient and did not like sitting on the sidelines. Coming up with a decision, he left to find the General. Seeing as Ratchet was safe in the ship, plus with no enemies near by, Drake thought it wasn't that bad leaving the young Lombax.
The orange and purple bird flew to where the fight was taking place. He saw how Alister was trying his best to stay alive, but he was not fast enough to dodge the vampire. He glanced over to where the guards were. A plan formed in his head.
The bird sneaked around the guards, his small size came in handy after all, and hid behind the stand with the Blue Orb on top. He flew up and snatched the orb quickly and took off. He was surprised that the guards didn't notice.
He rushed back to the ship, if he couldn't help with fighting then he would get help. Once inside the ship, he hovered over the motionless body of Ratchet. Drake lifted up his feet and smashed the orb down onto the Lombax's chest. He watched as the blue energy vanished through the other's armour and into his thin body. The bird waited, but nothing happened. He thought that if the energy was-
Suddenly, a pair of big emerald eyes snapped open. Ratchet shot up as if he was never dead. "Wh-what happened?"
"Ratchet, there is no time to explain. Right now you need to find Lola before anything happens. Only you can save him." Drake said quickly.
"Save who?" The golden Lombax asked, confused.
"Alister."
A shadow gloomed over the Lombax as he fell down to his knees in defeat. He couldn't take the pain any more. It was just too much to handle. Also the heat from the sun didn't help. "As much fun as I've had in ages, all good things must come to an end."
Lola was about to kill Alister until a strong wind of dust and sand caught her attention. After a period of time, a dark figure of a Lombax could be seen with a bird on his shoulder. The Lombax carried something in his right hand. It looked like a wrench.
The Viric's eyes widened. She glanced over to the guards. The Blue Orb was gone. She stomped over to the robots with venom dripping from her mouth. "You bastards! You were meant to look after that orb!" Without another thought, Lola destroyed her guards and faced the sandstorm.
Ratchet stepped out of the cloud of sand with an anrgy expression across his face, carrying his wrench in his right hand. Drake was perched on his left shoulder.
Azimuth looked up and a shocked face was present. "R-Ratchet? Ratchet get...out of here!" He yelled before falling to the ground unconscious from the blood loss.
The younger ignored him, but worry was seen in his eyes. "It's not over get, Lola!" Ratchet called out.
"No. But it will be soon. Prepare to be destroyed Blue Orb!"
