carter-apogee started following you

“Hey. Sorry if I’m sticking my nose into somewhere it doesn’t belong but..”

“You look troubled. Are you alright?”

Well, from the angle he was standing before them, it appeared they were quite sad. But looks can be deceiving, and Ratchet hoped he wasn’t mistaking this stranger’s expression for something else.

Or the fact that a stranger was asking them about something potentially personal. But if Ratchet were put in the same situation, he’d want someone to talk to. Maybe he could help...

modified-guardian started following you

“Hey, big guy...I see you’re out of of the slammer...”

“I hope you and your sister are going on a better path, this time around. You two do have the high potential, after all...”

Neftin more so than Vendra, since he appeared to be the nicer one in the first place. But that change in heart from Vendra in the end...perhaps her brother better influenced her moreso during their time of imprisonment together?

The thought was nice.

[musingmania]

A small smile graced across her purple lips. It felt nice to see the lombax again after being carried away to jail. After all she owed him a lot.

“I just wanted to see how you were doing. Don’t worry, I was let out on good behavior.”

Hands were placed firmly behind her back as she stared directly at the lombax.

“That and I have some news for you. I think you’ll enjoy it.”

She hoped so.

[the-last-lombax]

“...good behavior, huh?”

He almost doubted that. 

But then again, he does recall how she helped him during the battle with Mr.Eye. Also, there’s the fact that she did willingly went back to jail as well...maybe she did have a complete change of heart since their last encounter. But he’d need to confirm that himself.

“Well, I do appreciate the fact that you wanted to check up on me. I’m fine, but-”

He paused, cutting off his sentence as he heard ‘news’ ring in his ears. 

Oh boy.

If Vendra claimed that this news she had was something he would enjoy, he began to feel anxious about it. Ratchet even raised an arm to rub at the back of his head to calm his nerves.

“News, huh? Well...if you say so. Lemme hear it.”

[spxcerat]

His feelings reflected the sentiments of the other’s. Completely baffled, confused, and quite frankly, a bit unsettled.

Ratchet’s eyes darted downwards as he noticed the other lombax unsheathe his wrench. In a quick, familiar motion, he whipped out his own Omniwrench and held it before him, fingers enveloping its handle in an iron grip.

“Same to you,” the alien growled with suspicion, pupils narrowing as he inspected the other.

Bright green eyes, golden fur, three stripes on his ears, four on his tail, even facial structure… everything lined up to an eerie exactness.

Too exact to be a holo-guise.

“Who are you?”

[the-last-lombax]

As he saw the clone mimic his exact action of the omniwrench reveal, this only prompted Ratchet to shift his arms, now holding his own omniwrench in a more defensive position. That way, if the lookalike decided to strike first, he would be prepared.

“I’m Ratchet. I don’t know who the heck you are.”

The more he stared at the other Lombax infront of him, the more uncomfortable he felt. It was just..too similar. Even the way he looked at him was just...eugh.

The sooner they got this over with, the better.

“Now look pal, this can go the easy way...”

The sound of rubber squeezing against metal rang through the thick atmosphere as he himself tightened the grip on his own wrench, only leaving a dent in the tension between the two rodent-like aliens.

The expression on his face turned sour, his green eyes ignited with a sense of determination.

“...or the hard way. Your choice.”

reformiia started following you

“...Vendra. I wasn’t expecting you here. What a...surprise.”

--and a mini heart attack. But he won’t mention that.

For some reason, Vendra felt different from when he last saw her, too. As if she gave off a different vibe...but he’d shrug that off for now. 

For now, indeed.

“So, uh...any reason as to why you’re here? Last I saw you, you were...uh...yeah.”

A small lump appeared in his throat as he swallowed hard. He had hoped that he didn't make thing too awkward already...

[the-last-lombax]

spxcerat started following you

“...This...is weird.”

And it seriously was.

Who or whatever was standing infront of him...looked exactly like him.

It was if he were standing infront of a mirror. He almost wanted to touch the other, to make sure they were real. 

But then again, that would make it even more weird.

But wait. This wasn’t the first time Ratchet saw something vastly similar to someone he knew...Clunk was an example! What if what was standing infront of him was another trick? It was better to be safe than sorry!

Slowly, Ratchet started to take out his wrench, pointing it towards the mysterious copycat.

“Alright, I don’t know who or what your are, and why you look like me, but if you’re some kind of evil clone, I won’t hold back on fighting you!”

“Hey, excuse me if I’m not as friendly as I should be. I’ve had a bad day...like, really bad.”

“...Broke my favorite tool, lost my wallet, accidentally ruined a blueprint...”

He muttered only a few of the things that went wrong for him this day. He doubted the stranger truly cared for his mishaps, but since he accidentally bumped into them, the least he could do was provide an explanation.

“Hey, look out! ”

Ratchet ran over to the stranger, leaping at him head first into a full on tackle. 

With that quick and sudden movement, it wasn’t likely that the other would understand why Ratchet would assault him in such a way...until a loud crash noise erupted behind them.

Turns out that it was a large crate that wasn’t particularly stacked correctly. And that error almost ended up getting someone killed.

“Are you okay?!”

“So, this part of space isn’t very populated, is it?”

“I mean, most places I visit are full of people. But now its just us...kinda spooky...”

It definitely wasn’t something he was used to.

“Hey, this may seem sudden, but do you wanna try out this new weapon for me?”

“I just tinkered with it abit, and uh...I’d test it myself but...I need to be able to see the results better! So, I need someone else to help me! Uh, please. If you don’t mind...”

“Hey! Do you happen to know where the nearest refueling station is? I,uh...sorta got lost...”

and he hated to admit it. 

All it took was five minutes of exploring to get him stuck in this situation. That’s a new personal record. Now, if Clank were here, perhaps this would’ve ended up different...

...and to rub salt in the wound, his ship was out of fuel. Great.

“Well I didn’ expect t’ see ya on Axiom, anythin’ ya need hoss?”

[the-last-lombax]

“Huh, funny thing. Neither was I, pal.”

“I guess we’re going to just keep running into each other like this.”

Which was funny, since this time, Ratchet required nothing from the smuggler...for now, anyway. He never forgot what he did for him in the past, or the things he did to him. Every moment with this guy was like a gamble.

“There’s nothing I really need from you this time, I’m afraid. Ah...”

...Unless a neat new gun was involved, perhaps. Perhaps...
