Chapter Text
(Meridian City in Ratchet's dimension)
Ratchet: Today is the day.
Clank: Ratchet, are you still nervous?
Ratchet: Of course … yeah. I'm still nervous. What if I disappoint, what if they disappoint me? What if I fail my dad?
Clank: Ratchet, it's true that he is a hero but that doesn't mean you have to be as heroic as him. Besides, you are a true hero. (chuckle)
Ratchet: Yes but I also almost ruined it.
Clank: Ratchet, everyone makes mistakes. I know you're nervous because of him. You cannot save all of them.
Ratchet: I know but I whish I could save him and besides he isn't only one. Do you remember Zogg, Cronk and Zephyr. The one I almost ruined and we lost them. And especially Dimensionator, my dad kept it safe even until he dies but I failed to keep it and brought chaos. What if they disappoint me?
Clank: (sigh) Ratchet just relaxes, there are things worth trying, even if the results are bad. Maybe you should see them as soon as possible. That may change your thoughts. You don't have to blame yourself. Besides you took your responsibility well, even the case of Cronk and Zephyr wasn't your fault.
Qwark: Maybe I'll be helpful. How can I miss my sidekicks' family meeting?
Ratchet: Uuh. Sorry Qwark, the seat is for Talwyn.
Qwark: What! (few seconds to think) But fear not. I can prepare a ship within a day to join you. When do we leave?
Ratchet: Tomorrow here at the same time.
Qwark: Wonderful. See you tomorrow.
Qwark leaves.
Clank: Let me guess. You're not bringing him because he stole your credits. Aren't you?
Ratchet: Yeap. I don't want someone to steal my credits in front of my family. We better leave now, before he comes back to us.

(Sargasso in Rivet's dimension)
Kit awakes Rivet.
Kit: Wake up. We're gonna be late.
Rivet wakes up from a nightmare. Rivet tries to calm down.
Rivet: Oh, hello Kit. Good morning.
Kit: Rivet, you're sweating a lot. Are you okay? You seem to be unwell.
Rivet stares her spare prosthetic arms.
Rivet: Don't worry Kit. I'm fine, it was just a simple nightmare. By the way, what is late for what?
Rivet pretends she is fine.
Kit: The Lombax dimension.
Kit points to the clock. Rivet surprises.
Rivet: Oh no we're gonna be late!
Rivet and Kit prepared in a hurry to meet Ratchet and Clank in time. Ratchet and Clank came to her dimension.
Rivet: We're ready to leave. Wait, I thought you said you're going with Talwyn?
Ratchet: Yes, I did but yesterday she suddenly had a lot of work to do. So I'll bring her later by using this(Dimensionator). It'll take a while.
Kit: I thought Qwark would come here too.
Ratchet: He is kind of busy.
Rivet: Let me guess, you didn't bring him because he is a troublemaker.
Ratchet: Actually he is more than a troublemaker. So you and Rivet only?
Rivet: Yes only us. Phantom and Quantum are busy for arresting the emperor's assistant.
Ratchet: What about Pierre?
Rivet: Don't mention him.
