The Chosen One. CH 2. New World.
Clank just looked at the
Lombax with a blank stair. He still
couldn’t believe she was a
Lombax. He had never seen one before, well besides Ratchet of course.
“What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue.” Clank tried to say something, but all he could do was stutter.
“Are you okay? You act like you’
ve never seen a
Lombax before.” she giggled.
“Uh well…I…
umm.” Clank muttered.
“You have seen a
Lombax before, right?” she said with serous face.
“
Umm…well technically ……no.” A big smile came upon her face, fallowed by her laughing uncontrollably. “Ha Ha Ha! Your really funny little guy. To think that someone could live here there hole life and never see a
Lombax, that’s just crazy! Ha ha, you’d …. Ha ha ha.. You’d have to live underground or something. Ha ha ha ha ha! You know you look familiar, have we met before?” she said, trying to control her laughing as she helped the little robot to get on his feet.
“N…..no we haven’t met before.”
“Are you sure? I mean robots around here don’t really look like you.”
“No I’m pretty sure we haven’t met.” Clank says with a bit of a chuckle as he dusted the dirt and dust off himself.
“But you look so familiar, I know I’
ve seen you somewhere before.”
“I’m sure your just thinking of someone else that’s all.”
“Yeah you’re probably right. So what are you doing way out here?” Clank looked around to see that he was in a beautiful valley; he could also see a big bustling town in the distance.
“I was here to have a kind of picnic lunch with someone, but he never showed up. Like always.”
The
Lombax said with a little annoyed tone of voice, but Clank
wasn’t the one she was annoyed with.
“Oh sorry here I am rambling again. Where were we?” Katie said with a smile.
“You were asking me why I was way out here.” clank responded.
“Oh right, so why are you here?”
“Well to tell you the truth, I’m kind of lost.”
“
Heh I can see that, well where were you going before you got lost. Maybe I can help you.”
“Doubt that.”
“Huh?”
“Well let’s just say I’m not from around here.” Katie began to giggle again. Obviously she was a happy young woman. She had a rather joyful and bubbly personality.
“Ha ha ha you’re really funny.” Clank
couldn’t understand why she was laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
“Oh come on, how could you be from anywhere but here!”
“What? I…I don’t believe I understand.” Clank was very confused he had no idea what she meant by that or what it was that was so funny. Katie could see that clank
wasn’t joking, and then she was confused. Katie put on a serious face as she spoke.
“You mean to tell me that you really are not from here. That’s the honest to God truth?” she said as if she was suspicious of Clank for something. Clank began to become a bit worried.
“Yes. Why would I lie about something like that?” Katie began to think to herself.
(No. it can’t be, how could he have got past the gate?)
“Just who are you exactly!?” Katie snapped at him, she suddenly became very mean and nasty.
“Umm….I….uhh?” clank
didn’t know what to say. He
didn’t understand what it was that she was so snappy and suspicious of him about.
“Well! Tell me how did you get here? What’s your name!?”
“M….my…n….name?”
“Yeah! You do know your own name?” she said very sarcastically.
“Y….yes…m….my name……my name is c…Clank.”
“Clank?”
“Y…y…yes.”
‘now where have I herd that name before?” she gasp as she remembered exactly who he was. Suddenly a giant smile came a crossed her face.
“CLANK! The Clank! Clank as in the robot sidekick of the hero
Lombax!”
“Well I prefer second in command to sidekick.”
“OH I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!” Katie began to jump around like I little girl, her face and voice filled with excitement. Clank was so confused he just
didn’t understand that girl. First she was happy and nice, then she was mean and nasty, and now she was joyful and acting like a school girl. Clank just
didn’t understand her at all. (What’s with this girl?) Clank thought to himself. Suddenly Katie grabs Clanks hand and stared to shake it up and down with happiness.
“Oh my gosh! I am so honored to meet you Mr. Clank! Please forgive me for the 3rd degree earlier. It’s just that nobody has ever got past the gate before, and I kind of thought you were a spy or something.” Katie was still shaking Clanks hand.
“The Gate?” Clank replied, Katie then stopped shaking his hand and became a bit more serious.
“Yes there is a very powerful force field around this planet; we call it ‘The Gate’. Great name aye ha ha.”
“Why is there a force field around this planet? Don’t mean to be rude but what’s so important that you need a force field?”
“It’s to keep us safe from our enemies, and all the bad people that want our technology to wreak havoc on the universe. If we
didn’t have the gate we would probably have many wars. So instead of mindless wars and killing, we just disappeared.”
“We?”
“The
Lombaxes.” Clank
couldn’t believe his ears. (Could it be? Is this where all the
Lombaxes went?) Clank thought to himself.
“What!? You mean there’s more
Lombaxes here!?”
“Of course! There’s nothing but
Lombaxes here. We all came here about 20 or so years ago, by using the
Dimensionator. But you already know about that, don’t you.” Katie said with a little giggle.
“What!?” Clank gasped. (How dose she know about that?) Clank thought to himself. Katie suddenly began to run toward the city, laughing and carrying on like a child as she ran threw the tall grass.
“Now why is she running away?” there were so many things about this girl that Clank just
couldn’t understand. Katie had run 30 or 40 feet ahead of Clank when she stopped. She turned and shouted at Clank.“HAY!
Whatcha doing still sitting there!? Come on Mr. Clank fallow me, I’ll show you around the city!”
(
ok no one really knows when the
lombaxes disappeared , the game just never states it. but i found out that they say in 2005 ratchet may have been 18 in one of the games so that would make him 18-21 now , so
i'm just estimating by that.)
