Back with Ratchet and Logan the pair wandered the deserted streets, silence ensuing throughout the entire town. No one was walking through the streets, no one was seen in their shops and the shops were closed, the city seemed like54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtLEAxg5nw
“A dang Ghost town.” Ratchet spoke as she looked around.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO522ObTXc2
“Seems the kids are safe, they’ve been given a room to sleep in for the day.”
“Where are we going?” Logan asked as Ratchet held his arm stumbling.
“To an old spot I remembered back when I was runnin’ round here with ya pops, hoping it’s still up and runnin’ cause if it ain’t we’re bloody cooked.” Walking further on Ratchet found a place and sighed, she would rub her head and look at the shop.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqIyWeyvkk
“Guess we’re at a dead end… Dang it! Ouch ow ow… Migraine.”
“Maybe we should just head back, those were the only decent people we met. Best we can do is help them out, they did feed us.” Picking Ratchet up, helping her stand up straight, Logan began to walk back to the shop, hearing the sound of a trash can falling over. He stood in front of Ratchet surging with energy.
“N-No wait, please… Please don’t attack. I-I’m the clerk’s wife, I’m here with my daughter. He told us to follow you…” The woman spoke with a young lady looking over at them, the girl was dark skinned like the clerk and had golden eyes like her mother she had a pretty curly fro.
“Why? I wouldn’t expect him to just send you out unless there was a good reason.” Walking over the woman broke down into Logan’s arms, he’d hold her and gently rub her back.
“Please… Please save my husband. He’s a good man an-and they’re going to t-”
“Please! You have to help us, they’re going to kill my father. This town is cursed, something is very wrong but we can’t do anything about it. But I know things, things dad told me about. Like the Omoths, which I bet is what you are sir.” The little girl told him.
“It's getting really weird always hearing my last name.” He says.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeECd3Q8FH9
“But how can we help your dad?”
“Pri-Prison…” Ratchet groaned, her head hurting like never before but even with that she got herself up and got ready to get back to grind.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCmlSVOcpM
“That’s where our friends are, we need to get there and once we go we can get everyone else out.”
“A prison break? Hold on, I can’t do that. My kids are out here with some of these goons, I ain’t gonna put them at risk like this. I’m sorry but I can’t help, not with my kids on the line.” Logan walked over to Ratchet and crossed her arms.
“Really Logan? You’re not gonna charge headfirst into helping two ladies begging for your assistance?” Ratchet watched him walk off.
“No, not when my kids are in danger. I’m sorry but you’ve gotta find someone else.”
“THERE ISN’T ANYONE ELSE!! OUR DAD IS GOING TO DIE AND YOU’RE NOT GOING TO HELP?! YOU HELPED BACK AT HIS SHOP!! YOU BROUGHT THEM THERE!!” The daughter cried out running and kicking Logan’s leg.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NGAF3Pemk
“IT’S YOUR FAULT! DADDY SAID YOU’D HELP AND HE’S NOT A LIAR! Pl-Please… I-I don’t want to lose my dad…” Logan listened to the girl's cries and rubbed his forehead with a sigh and groan.
“Careful Logan, ya idiot is showing.” Ratchet teased seeing his heart rate faltering towards the usual way it would when he’s about to do things she deems stupid.
“Guess your dad is right kid… I’ll help you get him out… All I need is to get to the prison and we’ll get him out.” Logan groaned before gently patting the kid on the head.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYGJxBOmVv
“Ratchet?”
“Yeah yeah, I need to get the idiot out of his cell anyway. So, we blowing this popsicle st- why the heck am I saying that? I need to get her away from ya kids before she fries my circuits.” Ratchet stretches before looking at the kids.
“You’re a metallico, why’re you helping us?”
“What? Want me to say “Because we’re all the same inside?” it’s corny and I’m not. I got some dummies I need to check on and help out. Now let’s go.” Ratchet said as they began to walk. Heading towards the prison following after the little girl and her mother.
Running through the streets the group hurried along to try and make it to the prison as fast as possible. Running ahead the girl asked.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mLzK5zdLy
“Your kids, are they like you sir?”
“Better than me, always better. They wouldn’t have hesitated to help out anyone and everyone, guess that’s on me.” Logan told her as he kept running.
“Then they’ll be fine no matter what happens, strong people always do.” Hurrying on, Logan thought on her mentality, nodding as he ran on. He’ll need to check on his kids much much more, even though they’re older they’re still his kids… Even if he can’t be as much help as they need in this world. He can apply himself in any way, starting with getting those weirdos out of jail so they don’t have to worry too much. Even better, the sun was going down which meant that they’d have the cover needed to save their friends.
“....”
“Alexander? I suggest you get some sleep as well, don’t you think you need it?”
“I would but it’s hard to sleep when something’s off…” Alexander spoke and in that moment, a flash of green energy rushed out and then darkness consumed them both. Mina tried to fire a blast to defend Alexander but her circuits shut off and went out, sending a beacon to Ratchet.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAWLYqfaIt
