Back Inside Ratchet’s Shop
Stringray was secured inside of a pod, Meatless and Ashley were watching guard over their old friend wondering what could’ve possibly happened to him.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT92FoQZb5
Meatless doesn’t have a clue… Could he be controlled??”
“I hope so… Last thing I want is our friend being our enemy again.” Ashley sighed looking at Meatless. Vivian was sitting down with Ratchet getting a small checkup.
“Yup I figured as much, you Omoths are somethin else.” Walking over to the desk Ratchet looked over it and reached down.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ZxnEks7B
“So considering you’re an Omoth and an artifact holder- come on where the hell is it?” Reaching further in, she grabbed some clothes and bodysuit.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDAeCB1HQ8
“Arlighty then, here ya go.”
“Huh?” Vivian took it looking at it.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWapZnEtFxn
“Is it special?”
“Listen ta this girl, much betta than your brother’s stuff. Gotta take care of my little lady, now listen up. Ya power courses through ya, if you were any older it’d ripping ya apart. Luckily I plan ta be here till you’re an old lady with saggy teets.”
“Ew. I’d like to never have that happen.”
“If I find a fountain of youth I’ll let you and ya fam know, anyway. The body suit is a specialized mesh that stores and bottles up ya energy. It’ll keep ya from always being a hop and a skip away from going loopy as much as possible. The extra clothing on top is to protect both you and the power as a whole. Cause if it tears while you're using it, ya might have another outburst.”
“Okay. Thanks Ratchet.” Vivian stepped up and went to change.
“Make sure ya have clothes on undaneath it! It’ll feel betta that way!” She calls out. Suddenly a little chiming tone comes over the intercoms inside of Ratchet’s shop. Looking around she looks towards the door and sees Alex standing right there.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXQqL9V0vY
“Ya gonna open it??”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because dad always said “Don’t open the door for nobody.” Especially in a place I don't know.” Ratchet looked at Logan who was currently finishing up a meal Ratchet had provided to them all, his kids practically absorbed theirs but he wasn’t as quick to finish. Exchanging looks Ratchet rolled her eyes and walked over to the door lightly pushing him aside and checking the coms.
“Hello.”
“Hey, it's the girl we saved.” Alex pointed out.
“May we come in?” The girl was a young woman with red hair, black eyes and she currently wore what appeared to be-
“We ain’t buyin, so get lost!” Ratchet shouted as she groaned.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUycjla7CRd
“We just had to get the attention of the damn resistance.” Ratchet seemed annoyed as her voice kept coming through the comlines.
“Apologies for being a bother but we could really use your help again, I know you’ve already done so much for us already but… We need your help saving the world. So can we please come in?”
“We could also help take care of that guy you captured if you’d like.” A boy’s voice came through the intercom and he didn’t seem to be as polite as she was and seemed to be much more in a hurry.
“In a good way, not any way of harming him.” The girl quickly tried to fix up how he’d said it.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9xlWuavXI
“Anderson we’re trying to recruit them not scare them off..apologies but we really wish for your help with this. Especially as the last Omoths…”
“See now that’s sketchy.” Logan said looking at the intercom and Ratchet gave him a quick told ya so look.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfJjA7JGxG
“How the hell did they know that??”
“Idiot!” She whispered in anger at herself before she quietly sighed.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRMDEh3boH
“Look… we’ve been tailing the guy that’s been tailing you. We regrouped back here and found out that he was hunting down some people. Our sources intercepted and found out that the Urlkak kingdom wanted you all dead and we intercepted a lot of their com lines. We heard the possibility of Omoths being amongst the wanted ones.”
“...How did they figure us out?” Answering Alexander’s question Mina pulled up a scan showing Vivian’s prior wanted note, Alexander’s and Logan’s.
“It seems we didn’t consider Ratchet, Myself, and Vince always being near these scenes. Magic is quite the special thing.” Mina points out with a smile. She is currently holding The Rat Girl. Everyone grouped up and discussed what to do, Vivian and Vince listened in as he then chimed in.
“Maybe it's worth it, you’re all still new to this world… The resistance has experienced fighters, maybe if we offer to be potential candidates you all could get proper training and from that training you can be safer.” Everyone looked at Vince and he began to cower away.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB2lXIsIoC
“Ju-Just a thought…”
“Nah nah ya right, we could use them to meet our ends. Plus it ain’t like we won’t have to fight before we arrive at that spell, so if we gonna do this we’ll need some help I guess. We stick togetha we work togetha and we keep eyes on our own, this ain’t safe and nothing really eva is. Y’all got it??” Everyone nodded and Ratchet opened her shop, the two stepped in and were surrounded by the group at the front door.
“We move how we move, understood?” Ratchet told them and they nodded.
