"Okay, in short: He's trying to kill me!"

The heroes hid behind one of the hover vehicles, while the red robot continued to search for its target, "Any more questions?"

"Are you wearing anything underneath?" Rivet lifted his coat slightly, causing the lombax to blush and pull the robe back down, "Yes, underpants, but I'm trying not to die right now!" "Hmhm," Clank and Kit knew that the situation wasn't appropriate at the moment, but they still giggled slightly.

Before the leader of the vikings shouted again.

"COME OUT! SHOW YOURSELF," Kettil formed smoke on his hands again and shaped it into a large hammer, with which he now began to beat down the vehicles. "He's razing everything to the ground, we have to do something," the lombaxes grabbed their robo-friends in backpack position and crept to the next vehicle. From here, the pair wanted to finally make a plan to take on the terrorist, who continued to smash everything up. "His specialty is creating smoke and forming weapons with it...we just need to figure out how to contain it," the orange one pondered to himself, whereupon his sweetheart joined him: "Well...it's hard to find a solution there, maybe we could...

" I GOT YOU!"

Kettil rammed the vehicle away. Now the four heroes were defenseless, as if on a platter, in front of the red robot, which used its weapon to swing again. "Dodge", the lombaxes still managed to escape the hammer, where Rivet, in the role, flinched her blaster and shot at the extremist. The plasma bounced off, but did at least some damage as the machine staggered backwards and raised his hands protectively in front of his face. "Rivet, here," Ratchet tossed her a broken car door, which the rebel immediately threw at Kettil, causing the red one to fall. This caused his torso wound to drain oil again.

"Do you think you can defeat me," the robot quickly stood up again and formed two daggers. which he threw after the heroes. Ratchet reacted quickly and pulled his girlfriend out of the line of fire. The lombaxes retreated again near the hospital, in the visitors' garden. It was very large, with benches everywhere and a large fountain to top it all off. "It's a shame that this will soon be razed to the ground," said the male before his sweetheart threw him a second blaster, "Here, at least you won't be as naked as you are at the moment."

Rivet's cheeky grin appeared again. The fact that she was still able to make jokes despite this situation fascinated the orange one every time, which couldn't stop him from hugging Rivet, "Do you know how much I love your manner in situations like this?" "I suppose very much," the rebel returned the hug and gave her boyfriend a kiss that lasted for a minute.

"Ratchet...your hands are on my face."

Kit's muffled voice ended the moment of affection, but Clank also had the yellow prosthetic hand of Rivet in front of his eyes. "Oops, sorry Kit. We should..." his words were interrupted by a tense bow and an arrow that just missed the noses of the two lombaxes. The heroes then stared at the culprit. Kettil launched another arrow, but the two were quicker and dodged it. Several smoke arrows were fired, almost hitting the lovers, and there seemed to be no end to it. Ratchet and Rivet took cover behind the fountain again, while the red robot changed his weapon, "This guy doesn't get tired, does he?" "Too bad for us," the orange one stretched his head up slightly to check on his opponent, but his gaze fell back on the water. Much more on one of the arrows that landed in the fountain.

The smoke, still just solid, became soluble and faded.

"Water..." Ratchet whispered to himself, but his girlfriend couldn't understand him: "What do you mean?" "Water! It ruins his weapons and abilities! We just have to get him in there somehow," the hero said quietly, so that his friends finally understood. "Split up," and so the hero separated from his rebel, who hid in the large bushes and tried to get behind Kettil. Ratchet, on the other hand, stood up with his hands up and presented himself with his hands open, "Okay, I'm here! You want me and Clank, then come and get me!"

"Oh, you still don't get it...I want you dead," Kettil had a sword in his hands by now and slowly approached the lombax. His first instinct was to go around, but then something caught his attention.

"Hey, hornbite," came loudly from the rebel.

The terrorist turned around and his face met Rivets hammer. The surprise effect and the violent blow caused him to land back-first into the fountain. Ratchet immediately came running to his girlfriend. Both then stared at the angry robot, whose blue optics sparkled, "When I'm done with you, then..." Only now did Kettil realize where he was standing. The water had already dissolved his sword before he slowly panicked and tried to create new smoke. "Argh...come on...COME ON," but his hands were no longer emitting anything. The extremist had no weapons left for the fight.

"Maybe you should have used something else that doesn't dissolve with water," the lombaxes admitted cheekily, which only made the red one angrier. He jumped out and entered the fistfight, " That's it. ALIEN AGAINST ROBOTS!" Kettil swung his fists ahead, but the pair dodged them and got to his sides. Both jumped up and delivered a punch to the sides of his body, causing the red one to flinch and stagger forward. His next attempt was to land a kick with his foot, but Rivet was quicker and smashed her iron fist against his knee. Screaming, the viking-like robot pulled his leg back, only to receive a kick from the male lombax that sent him crashing into the nearest bench.

"You... will not defeat me," Kettil straightened up. He transformed his hand back into the blaster and charged the powerful energy. The two lombaxes thought quickly before the silver robot at Ratchet's back had an idea, "Try to block the gun barrel! That will make his weapon explode!" The two quickly looked around for something useful and then found the right one.

One of the stones by the fountain was loose, which the rebel pulled out with her iron hand and handed to Ratchet, "Thanks, babe." The male lombax then threw the stone into the open barrel of the gun, which clogged up and actually exploded. Smoke formed in front of Kettil's hand, which he was luckily able to repair himself, but the blaster had been destroyed. His arm was lowered painfully, and as the smoke cleared the final blow came towards him.

The omniwrench and the hammer landed against his head.

The violent impact finally brought the red one down. A few sparks escaped his body, oil flowed from the wounds and Kettil himself was broken. He had no more fighting spirit and then saw his enemies coming towards him. The terrorist lowered his eyes and then finally admitted defeat, "You've won... finish it!"

"I want to finally know where Victor is first," surprisingly this time it came from Clank, who detached himself from his best friend's back and climbed onto the larger robot's chest, "If we don't stop him, more will die!" "Like I'm telling you, malfunction...", Kettil closed the optics, "You betrayed our brothers and sisters, when you allied yourself with the lombax...the meatbags treat us all like dirt...we should rule!" "That's not true," the silver one tried to reason with the extremist, "Please stop. I'm sure there's a way to settle this peacefully. Let's negotiate."

Before another word was said, a large noise disturbed the silence.

The Manowar came flying in and fired blue plasma at the lombaxes. Ratchet pulled Clank away from the red robot in a flash and quickly ran to safety with his girlfriend. The ship's main hatch was opened, where Victor was already sticking his hand out to Kettil, who quickly grabbed it and was pulled back on board by the larger one. The Manowar then flew back up into the sky at lightning speed, but this only upset the lombaxes and the rebel kicked the nearest rock, "Damn, we could have almost defeated their leader!"

The heroes stared disappointedly up at the sky, where the ship had just escaped orbit. "We'll get them... another time," Ratchet gently placed his hand on Rivet's shoulder, which Rivet immediately took and pulled towards him. "Yes...but first we'll take you home...then you can put your clothes back on," and her cocky grin reappeared. The male lombax was immediately infected, so the four of them set off to have one last look and then make their way home.

But the evil wasn't finished with them yet.

"Kettil, please don't die!"

Widar and Marit held their leader upright, but he just shook his head with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't die so quickly." Then the red robot turned his head towards the newly built one and lowered his optics, "Victor... you were right. Two of them are too strong. We have to tear them apart once and for all!"

"Finally you're coming to your senses," the two leaders shook hands and the former general asked the troops to follow him, "Come, everyone! Pluto and I have already prepared everything."

What followed was a dark laugh from Victor, "Then I'll finally tell you the plan!"

The white robot sat on the chair.

His right arm was outstretched and the cap of the lower section was open. Pluto was in the process of screwing in and adjusting an object, which was an idea of the rebuilt one. "So...the perfect cloaking projector will be controllable here while the main source is implanted in your chest," the pirate closed his forearm and made his way to the chest. Victor was silent, watching Kettil look at the holo images again as he got his works done. The memories of the orange lombax were still on it, apparently stored by the pirate robot.

"Aaaaand that's it! The cloaking projector is ready for use," Pluto proudly braced his hand and hook against his hips, as Victor rose from his chair. He activated a hologram on his right arm, which gave him the option to change shape. "Try this one," but then Ratchet's memories appeared on the hologram and the vengeful robot tapped the next person. It was Qwark, whose form the former general then adopted. A few pixels surrounded his body and in a few seconds you would have thought the real captain in green was standing in front of the terrorists. "Excellent. I'm impressed, Pluto," even the voice was the same, and he even felt like flesh and blood. Grinning, Victor turned back into his old self and his eyes carried a determined spark: "Now let's get started!"

"Wait a minute...you really want to do THAT? That's beneath you."

Kettil was still staring at a certain memory the extremists had retained. The model, on the other hand, put her arm around the leader with a grin, "That's probably for the best. This chica here is our chance to tear them apart!" "She's right! Sacrifices have to be made, Kettil. Even if it might tarnish my dignity," Victor activated his hologram again, rummaging for that particular memory of Ratchet spending a romantic moment with that alien, and then finally tapped on the person he wanted to cloak himself in.

The pixels surrounded the newly built robot again before he took on the form of the person in question. She was a woman, with green clothes, a tail at the back and pointed ears. Then there was the red headscarf on her skull, the green eyes, the slightly spotted face with the light tone and her long, brown hair that reached down to her shoulders. The crew was impressed. The sinister laugh of the woman the robot was imitating was even in her voice. A perfect copy of the original stood in front of the heavy vikings.

"Hehehe, AND? Do I look stunning," and Victor did. He really looked like Talwyn Apogee.
