"What's going on, Sigmund? Another crawler problem?" All eyes turned to Sigmund the Big Clock cleaning robot. Then a voice rose as he entered the room "Terrible news your majesty!" A rusty red-colored robot entered the room in a panic startling the four occupants. The guards ate smiling while the sounds of cutlery clashed with the plates. There was bread, wine with pasta accompanied by the white sauce.
After the festivities the two Zonis and the two Lombaxes ate a rich meal. Ratchet kept an eye on Marazian's species but remained in his place prepared for any eventuality.Įvening came quickly.
Then a photographer approached the scene but not too close and raised his camera to his face. Long live the prince." Servants, guests and Zoni exclaim. The little robot sat down in its place to the applause of guests and servants throughout the room. Then the King of the Zoni took his scepter and gave it to the heir of the guardian of the great clock. Orvus ordered Clank to raise his head and the little robot felt a small platinum crown rest on his head. And I wouldn't change that for the world.' 'But the greatest gift I received was having a bodyguard who is also my best friend. "Yes, father." Clank looked up and thought quietly as Orvus busied himself with crowning his head and giving him the scepter. "The Clock, much like time itself, is a gift, and not to be tampered with." Clank glanced discreetly at his best friend and gave him a wink and Ratchet felt his heart stop beating for a moment. Ratchet stood still with a stoic face but inside he smiled with joy. Once abused by our ancestors, today the great clock is only used for purposes uses and precious."
"XJ-0461, my son, the time has come for you to become the new guardian of the great clock. Clank stood in front of his father and lowered his head as silence spread through the great hall. After the Deacon had passed, Clank and Orvus also stood up. Kaden stood behind Orvus' chair as he was the dimensioner's guardian and Ratchet stood next to Clank as he was his bodyguard. Preparations were made and the ceremony began. Kaden and Ratchet walked through the corridors on their way to the great hall of the palace. The older Lombax stared at his son proudly and tucked his son's tie inside his jacket. The young golden lombax came out of his room and met his father's gaze. He looked at himself in the mirror, checking that there were no mistakes on him. Ratchet finished tying his tie and combing his hair. Today was a big day and the Golden Lombax hoped his son lived up to his expectations even more than he expected. "Ratchet, are you ready?" the Dimensioner's caretaker was waiting for his son to come out of his room. Kaden, the dimensioner's official guardian, walked to one of the chambers in the palace and knocked softly on the solid gold door.
Outside, the party was in full swing, inside cooks, soldiers and guards crowded to ensure that the two royal families lacked nothing. It was time to celebrate because today Prince Zoni was going to be crowned "keeper of the big clock". The immense royal palace of the planet shone with a thousand lights.
