Chapter 3 The Encounter

Alister, Ratcet and Clank are now walking for almost 10 minutes. Alister leaded the way. He still had his weapon with him, Praetorian OmniWrench. Ratchet and Clank walked behind him. Ratchet is not entirely sure to walk next to him. The last time Alister killed Ratchet and Clank set the clock 5 minutes earlier to save Ratchet.
Ratchet won't lie: he's a little scared of Alister. Is he really doing to bring Ratchet and Clank to Ratchet's parents? That's what Ratchet hopes.
Then Alister stopped walking.
Ratchet and Clank also stopped walking.
Alister turned towards them. "Ratchet, this is the place where I stay with your parents."


Ratchet is surprised. Is this now the moment he will finally meet his parents? His parents whom he wished to meet for so long?


Alister waited for an answer, but Clank looked at Ratchet and saw his gaze. He looked back at Alister.


"Ratchet is nervous. He had never met his parents. That is his biggest wish, because he wanted to get to know his parents one day. "


Alister smiled. "Well, then his wish came true. Because they're waiting inside, here." Alister pointed to the half-destroyed building behind him.


Clank looked at Ratchet. "Are you ready for it, Ratchet?"


"Yes, I'm j-just scared h-how they will respond."


Alister put his hand on Ratchet's shoulder. "Don't worry, boy. They will be very happy to see you. They always hoped to see their missing son one day. And that's you, Ratchet." Alister took his hand away.


Ratchet felt a little better. He smiled slightly. "I am ready."


Alister went inside where Ratchet and Clank followed him. The door opened when Alister came closer. The door closed behind them. But there was another door. A metal door. Alister typed in the code and the door opened.


When everyone was inside, Ratchet couldn't believe his eyes. He stopped walking and looked around. Everything is fine in the building. Everything is clean and nothing is broken. Apart from the building on the outside, it was half destroyed. Maybe Alister and his parents are busy bringing the planet back to life? Since that Taychon has destroyed everything.


Ratchet stayed where he was. Alister and Clank noticed and they stopped. Clank went to Ratchet.


"Are you okay, Ratchet?"


"Yes, only surprised and very nervous."


"Don't worry, Ratchet. I am here for you."


Ratchet smiled slightly. He walked with Clank to Alister, who was waiting for them.


Alister leads Ratchet and Clank to a room. When they were inside, Ratchet's beautiful green eyes opened wide. Two Lombaxes sat on a couch. They look a lot like Ratchet! Especially the adult male Lombax! The color of their fur is the same as that of Ratchet, orange-brownish stripes are also the same! The adult male Lombax also has three stripes on both cheeks. Ratchet doesn't have that. And he also has a tail of course.


The adult female Lombax is probably the wife of that adult male Lombax. Her ears are slightly smaller than her husband's, Alister's and Ratchet's. And she doesn't have a tail either. In fact, females have no tails. Males do.


They were talking. Ratchet stood akwarad between Alister and Clank. His eyes did not look away from his... parents.


Alister cleared his throat and caught two Lombaxes' attention. But the two Lombaxes immediately looked at Ratchet.


"Kaden, Emily, meet your missing son, Ratchet. Ratchet, meet your parents, Kaden and Emily."


There was silence.
