//------------------------------// // 14: Planet Orxon // Story: Ratchet, Clank, And Spike: Journey Through The Galaxy // by dragonfan101 //------------------------------// The three headed back to Orxon in they're ship, they had oxygen masks and metal boots now, so they can hopefully get through it all without more trouble, they came upon the planet once again and landed on the ground. They put they're masks on and got out. 'This place is horrible.." Spike said looking around sadly. "We can't let Drek get away with this, i have a feeling this was all intentional." Ratchet said upset. "Now that we're here, let's see if there's anything we can find." Clank suggested, they all agreed and headed off. This place was in worse condition then any place Spike saw back home, the entire place was green because of the toxic air, there were factories and plants that shot the chemicals into the air, the creatures there were nothing more then mutant monsters at this point. "How could he be allowed to get away with this, this is worse then any place i've ever seen." Spike said as he slashed down a mutant. "I don't know, i hardly believe anyone would want to work in this environment." Ratchet said shocked as well, they hovered down to another area and took down a few monsters again, they took down a laser gate and kept going. "It's just, why would people trust to live with Drek on his new planet when they know he took parts of they're own home away?" Spike asked frustrated. "I wouldn't live on a planet made by him even if it was the last one in the galaxy." Ratchet said upset as well. "I suppose it's because of the conditions of what happened after they're residents own homes were destroyed, so they may have had no choice." Clank said sadly. "What makes me more confused is, how was he even able to build a entire planet? That's beyond any magic capable in equestria." Spike asked. " That is beyond even my own understanding." Clank said confused as well. "Well however he did it, it's not for something odd that's all i can see." Ratchet said looking at the place in disgust. "That new world may just end up as polluted as this one, we can't let that happen." Spike said determined. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's see if we can find anything in this dump." Ratchet suggested, they both agreed and kept moving along. They kept on moving through the place, they kept having to fight through the mutated monsters in order to survive, they then had to use they're magnet boots to walk on a vent shaft that helped them reach the other side of the place, they had to dodge fumes of fire that were coming out from them, while Ratchet had to carefully avoid them, Spike just walked through them as they didn't hurt at all. "You know Spike, i'm pretty jealous that you can just walk through fire and lava like its nothing." Ratchet told him. "Sorry pal, wish i had something to help you with that, it feels like we're going at 5 miles an hour on these vent shafts." Spike said as he could barely move properly. "The metallic force is most likely because of it, we could make adjustments so it's like how we walk normally in the future." Clank suggested. "I like that idea, let's just hurry up and get out of here as soon as we can." Ratchet said as they got back on the ground. "Agreed, this place gives me the creeps." Spike said as he looked around disgusted. They used the Taunter to lure more enemy's into the laser walls to deal with them easily, they found an info bot but it kept floating away. "Hey, get back here!" Spike said as it went across some swingshot platforms, they used them in order to follow it, it kept on moving much to they're annoyance, they had to fight through more monsters that tried to attack them, it kept moving more and more and it was getting annoying. They had to take down another laser wall in order to keep moving and fight through even more monsters as well, they went around another corner and found it inside a building but it floated up to another level of it, Spike then got an idea. "Hold on a minute." Spike said as he pulled out his magnet device from before, he found away for it to pull himself to objects. "Hang on guys." Spike said as he grabbed Ratchet and pointed the device at the top, he activated it and the device pulled them to the top and they landed on the next level, and luckily there was no where for the info bot to go this time. "Thank Celestia." Spike said gratefully. "Great job with that Spike, i'm proud of you." Ratchet said punching his shoulder playfully and Spike chuckled. "Thanks, now let's see what this thing has." Spike said as they looked at it, it then opened a screen and they watched another video. "Hello again everyone! Supreme executive chairmen Drek here, to fill you in on our progress!" Drek said as he was on an ice planet of sorts. " We have now found a perfect orbit for our planet, one which would allow for the perfect temperature! All year around!" Drek said as he walked forward. " However, there is a planet occupying that orbit and sadly, it must be destroyed.." He said evilly. "And that's why we've created this!" Drek said as the camera pans out to a huge bomb above him. "The Planet buster maximus! A device capable of blowing an entire planet into sub atomic particles! we're quite proud of it! here's how it works." Drek began to explain. "We attach the planet buster to this ship, fly it into orbit around the planet, and let it go! Kaboom! Quite ingenious really!" Drek said laughing, Spike growled with anger as he hated where this was going. "Once our trained professionals put the finishing touches on our new planet, everything will be complete thank you! Goodbye!" Drek said waving his fingers as the video ended. Spike growled with pure anger as he wanted to destroy this device right now. "Dreks Blowing up a whole planet?! We cannot let that happen!!" Ratchet said with anger. "We can't let that Bomb leave that planet, we have to head to it and stop it from leaving!" Spike told them. "Yes, we must hurry to the coordinates, there are lives at risk." Clank said worried. "Agreed, let's go now!" Spike said as he started to run back to the ship, Ratchet knew Spike wasn't going to let Drek get away so they had to hurry as quickly as they could. They quickly checked around the area for anything more that they could find, all they did find was a vending machine that somehow gave them drinks that made them feel tougher, this apparently had special Nanotech that made ones body much tougher, so they were able to get a few cans and they became much tougher. "Glad we found this thing, i feel way stronger now." Ratchet said as he crushed the can on his head. "i'm glad too, this will definitely help out, let's get back to the ship now." Spike told them. "You got it, let's go." Ratchet said as they headed back. They headed back to they're ship once again and headed off to the next planet in a hurry, Spike hated Drek, he was going to destroy an entire planet, he would not let that happen, Spike had a bad feeling that this place he was trying to destroy was important...
