Sixth Gold Bolt [video/dream]
[It starts with a nice enough scene. Ratchet is sitting in a brown armchair in what looks to be a garage. Weapons line the walls, along with other trophies from his many adventures. It looks homey here with the Holovid that's set up on a stack of crates in from to of the two arm chairs. In the other arm chair next to Ratchet is a small silver and black robot with green eyes; Clank. The two are watching something that seems to have them both in it. The robot is in a tuxedo and Ratchet's driving his car. The Lombax looks must less enthused about watching the show than the robot does. They just keep watching until it ends and Ratchet sighs.]
There. Three hour marathon of Secret Agent Clank, done. Can we watch something else now Clank? [He turns to face his friend but he's suddenly gone. Ratchet looks around, obviously confused.]
Clank?
...
Clank?
[He turns to the opening of the garage and there is his metal friend, being carried off by three small black and purple creatures that seem to be an odd mix of robot and squishy. Three Zoni.
CLANK!
[The Lombax runs after them and out of the garage. He steps out onto a desert planet that only remains solid for a moment. The ground begins to shake and everything starts to fall away. The scene morphs and changes around Ratchet. What was once a barren looking planet is now a long narrow walkway through space. The Lombax starts to run down the pathway, into the abyss of space. As he runs, images begin to arise all around him. Strange multicolored patters appear out of nowhere, a giant green man in a strange outfit appears from the patterns and starts talking.]
Let Nurse Shannon give you a massage~
[He seems to pull out blaster out of no where and starts firing. The path behind Ratchet explodes into bits with each blast and the Lombax runs faster still. He's panting but doesn't slow. He keeps running and soon enough Nurse Shannon is attacked by a a massive creature. The Lombax finally slows to a stop. He looks back and his pathway is gone.]
...No turning back now.
You can say that again, Squishy! Because you won't be going anywhere at all!
[Ratchet turns around and suddenly the rocky path in space is gone. He's standing on a ship in mid-flight, face to face with Dr. Nefarious. The Lombax growls and pulls out his wrench.]
I don't have time for you right now, Nefarious.
That's funny. Because once I get the Clock, I'll have all the time in the Universe to kill you again and again AND AGAAAAAAAAAA-Oh Lance~ I love you! You make me feel just like a young boy again~
[Ratchet just sighs.]
Reruns. [He brings back his wrench and smacks Nefarious hard in the chest plate. He goes flying into the cockpit of the ship and it starts to careen off course. Ratchet turns and runs, jumping off the edge and lands down on the rocky path again. He turns and watches the ship crash into a Nefarious shaped space station and explode.]
Really hope he had insurance on that thing. [Ratchet takes off running again. Up ahead is a yellow door. He picks up the pace and burst through the door. He's standing on a blue glass and golden platform. Clank is standing just before a walkway. Ratchet knows this place; The Great Clock.
Ratchet runs towards Clank and scoops him up into his arms.]
I found you buddy!
Yes, you did Ratchet. But it is time for me to go. [Ratchet lets go of his friend and blinks.]
Go? Go where?
It is also time for you to go too. The little robot steps away from Ratchet with a sad look. Ratchet looks confused until a voice calls out form behind him.]
You can't just walk away! The Lombaxes need us! [The small Lombax's eyes widen as he slowly starts to turn around.]
Don't you walk away from me! I SAID STOP!" [Ratchet turns as Alister Azimuth fires. A blast of blue energy slices through the air. It hits Ratchet square in the chest and knocks him back several feet. He's standing still, hand clutching his chest. He coughs, blue sparks still moving across his armor, streams of smoke slipping passed the hero's fingers. He coughs a few times, each time the cough grows weaker. There is only one sound now, the sound of a heartbeat. It's slowing down as everything begins to grow hazy. The world starts to tilt backwards. The heartbeat finally comes to a stop as Ratchet falls, the dream collapsing and fading to black as his eyes shut.]

[Video]
He looks down, the sight of blood on his fingertips as raw as the day he had been exiled, the decay heavy in the air as he can see nothing but fire, fire, fire.
And it's with this that he falls to his knees, staring at the terrible sight, screaming as loud as his lungs can manage.
Was this the alarm clock you were looking for, Ratchet?]

Are you okay?
