Chapter 1: Veldin under attack

It was peaceful in the Bogon galaxy, and on the planet Endako, in the city of Megapolis ever since the Proto Pet incident happened. As the duo that saved the galaxy from the incident, a Lombax named Ratchet, and his little intelligent robot sidekick named Clank, was celebrating saving another galaxy from trouble. Now it was peace and quiet time for the duo that saved not only the Solona galaxy from the Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Alonzo Drek, but also the Bogon galaxy from the Proto Pet incident that was caused by former hero, Captain Qwark, as they rested afterwards.

With a bit of help from a new friend they made during their journey, and after the incident.

And now they were in an apartment in the city as they relaxed and rested from the incident that they saved the galaxy from, and they were now playing alien chess against each other, next to their tv that they play on too.

"Oh yeah! My blargian snagglebeast devours your mutant swamp fly. Bet you didn't see that coming did you." Ratchet said, looking like he was now winning a round of alien chess against Clank. Only for Clank to tap one of the pieces to another square, much to Ratchet's confusion. "Huh? What are you doing?"

"Check, and mate." Clank said, looking like he smiled, despite his limited jaw movement in terms of facial expressions.

"What?! Th-th-that's cheating!" Ratchet said exasperated and accusingly.

"On the contrary, the rules clearly state that the blargian snagglebeast has an allergic reaction to swamp flies, that lasts for two turns." Clank responded as Ratchet looked through the manual, to see that Clank was right. Which had him bummed out.

"Dang it." Ratchet said somberly.

"Ah don't worry. You'll get him next time." Another voice said, amused as she entered the room.

Ratchet knew who she was, being Angela Cross. A former scientist and employee of the Megacorp company, as well as another Lombax like Ratchet, and creator of the notorious Proto Pet that she was forced to rush to production by a disguised Captain Qwark who played the founder and CEO of Megacorp, Abercrombie Fizzwidget. Causing her to defect from the company, and under the guise of the Unknown Thief, (Complete with cape, hood, mask, and voice changer.) was forced to steal the Proto Pet to prevent it from being duplicated and sold to the public.

Unfortunately for her, Qwark teleported Ratchet and Clank from their home, and to the Bogon galaxy, where he had Ratchet trained by Megacorp, then sent him out against her to steal back the Proto Pet.

Which forced her to recruit the dangerous mercenary group, known as Thugs-4-less, to protect her from Ratchet and Clank until she's able to destroy the Proto Pet so that it'll be unable to be sold by Megacorp. Which little did she know at the time, was bound to end in failure since Ratchet and Clank was more skilled and stronger than she thought, as both of them were able to beat the thugs at every turn. Including the leader.

Or to be precise, it was initially just Ratchet that was able to beat them, while Clank relaxed in the apartment room that they both share now. Only for Angela to come to that place, kidnap him, and disable him with electricity torture to lure Ratchet to his location. Where she had Ratchet trapped with Clank in the room. Only for Ratchet to repair Clank, and for Clank to use his intelligence and have help from some allied bots, to help release both Ratchet and himself from her trap. Thus, resuming the chase against her.

Which ended on planet Siberius. Where they defeated her and destroyed her chemical convoy, before rescuing the Proto pet from her rocket. Though she was able to escape from them, they were able to deliver the Proto Pet to Qwark, still disguised as Fizzwidget, on the planet Tabora. Thus, putting the Bogon galaxy in danger of their infestation and rampage. She had them at gunpoint before she accidentally exposed her true face to them, and had them going to Dobbo to explain to them why she tried to destroy the Proto Pet.

To make matters worse for her, Thugs-4-less ended up being hired by Qwark to defend him and Megacorp from their revenge, thus betraying her. Thankfully, the duo still kept on defeating the thugs, regardless of them trying to imprison them both on their ship. Only for them to escape once again, and rescue Angela when she was also captured.

And even more thankfully, the duo knew they made a mistake after learning about what the Pet was gonna be, so they tried to tell Qwark disguised as Fizzwidget to destroy or delay the experiment. (They didn't know that Qwark was Fizzwidget at the time.) Only for him to not listen to their requests, and avoid them at every turn.

And it was when they met him in person after they grabbed the Helix-o-morph from Angela's home, that they learned that Qwark was the one that rushed the Proto Pet, and had them duplicated to be sold, so that he could save the day once they rampage, and then revive his tarnished heroic reputation that was ruined by Ratchet and Clank. All by capturing the duo and Angela, while taking their Helix-o-morph, to then use it to pacify the Proto Pets and make them harmless as a result. Thus becoming a hero of the Bogon Galaxy while making them the villains.

Unfortunately, as clever as it was on paper, Qwark botched the execution by putting the batteries in the Helix-o-morph backwards, causing the Proto Pet to become more aggressive and bigger, before eating Qwark and the Helix-o-morph, then fighting the duo. Fortunately, they won against the Proto Pet, Angela found the real Fizzwidget, and after the pet vomited out Qwark and the Helix-o-morph, Angela fixed the Helix-o-morph and used it to save the Bogon Galaxy alongside the duo and Fizzwidget, from the Proto Pets by taming them all.

Afterwards, Fizzwidget offered to rehire Angela Cross, along with a Promotion for her as an Employee while paying in damages. Only for her to decline, and become Ratchet's fellow ally and sidekick alongside Clank. But the doors to Megacorp are always open for her, just in case she changes her mind.

And Qwark ended up becoming an employee for the Megacorp in the Bogon galaxy, testing out an inappropriate gadget of theirs, but he disappeared later on.

Now though, she was staying with Ratchet and Clank at their apartment in Megapolis. Where they were currently resting off their adventure from a month ago, and playing around with each other, as she sat down on the couch alongside Ratchet.

"Hey Angela. How ya doing?" Ratchet asked happily. As he did start to find friendship with her during their journey in the Bogon galaxy, which got better after the journey ended. After all, he did start to love Angela a bit, but he isn't letting her know that.

"I've been doing fine so far. Witnessing you and Clank playing together, while occasionally joining in, having plenty of me time and hanging out with you, and lazing around without a job as a Megacorp Employee." Angela said, sorta missing her job as an employee of Megacorp. But she felt that being a fellow hero alongside Ratchet would be more exciting.

And little did Ratchet know, she started to reciprocate that feeling to him. But she too isn't letting him know that.

"That's nice." Ratchet said. "I did have fun having you with us."

Angela smiled at him in return. "Thanks Ratchet."

"Ooh! It is on again!" Clank said as he switched the holovision channel to the new show that Clank liked watching.


Which stars him in the show, 'Secret Agent Clank' that came out in both Galaxies shortly after the Proto Pet incident.

Where Clank is the titular agent that in the episode, whom was currently gambling with some female robots around him, against the other golden colored robot, Maxmillon. Which ended in victory when he ended up winning a round of Craps, getting an applause in return.

"Your luck is extraordinary sir." The golden colored robot said. "But do you lose as gracefully as you win?"

"I do not know Maxmillion. I never lose." Agent Clank responded.

The villain robot ended up chuckling at the response before gently pressing the red button to summon minions with. "There is a first time for everything, AGENT CLANK!" He said before his minions appeared around Clank.

Whom then fought against the minions of Maxmillion's that he sent out, defeating them with a tray that reflected lasers from Maxmillion's gun, before defeating him via a chandelier overhead that landed on him.

Before the episode then ended in Clank getting a ride from his clumsy butler and chauffeur named Jeeves.


Which is a reason why Ratchet isn't really fond of the show compared to Clank and the others. Because he plays said clumsy chauffeur in it. (And he feels that it cramps his style to play one, seeing that he is a commando after all.)

"That was terrific." Clank said excitedly, as Angela tried not to laugh at how silly Ratchet looked in chauffeur clothing, as well as in the show in general.

"Right… yeah… Please change the channel." Ratchet said quietly, feeling annoyed about the show.

"But the man said to stay-" He tried to say, only for Ratchet to snatch the remote, before changing the channel to a news channel.

Where he saw something shocking to him.


"Breaking news!"

"This is Darla Gratch reporting again live in Veldin. Where just hours ago, the planet was unexpectedly under attack by a vicious alien race known as the Tyhrranoids." The robot news lady known as Darla Gratch said, showing some aliens that had stalk-eyes, round rotund builds, and were blue and greenish colored. And they were destroying everything in sight.

"Officials believe that the mastermind behind the attack, is the evil robotic supervillain known as Dr. Nefarious." She continued to say while showing the face of a tall, humanoid robot with a green transparent egg-shaped head dome with gears and cogs inside, and brightly colored red eyes in the blue skull of the robot that has a big underbite.

Then it cuts to the other robots which happened to be dark green warbots, having a single orange cyclops-esque eye in the middle, as well as a white reticle on their torso, and an arm cannon shooting lasers on their left hands. "As you can see, the Galactic Rangers are putting up a valiant fight, but they're no match for these terrors." She said as, if proving her point, an explosion was made between the robots, destroying them in the process.

"It seems that at this rate, this backwater planet may be completely destroyed in a matter of hours. Darla Gratch, Channel 64 news." She finished the news before it faded to black, ending the broadcast.


The trio was shocked and horrified at the news. Most of all Ratchet himself, before he then got angry. Sure he wasn't fond of being stuck on Veldin as he did find living there to be boring, and pretty dangerous. Not to mention the fact that he was trapped there with nothing to fly out of Veldin with until he met Clank after building his ship. (That later got destroyed shortly afterwards. But he got another one.) But he viewed it as his home regardless, and he won't let anybody destroy it, or conquer it, as Drek learned the hard way.

Which Clank and Angela noticed, and they were unnerved at the sight of him. Especially Angela, who learned about Ratchet's home from Ratchet and Clank themselves when they told her about their past adventures back in the Solona galaxy before their mission from Fizzwidget. Which had Ratchet apologizing to Clank for being bad to him a few times when they told her about how their friendship was strained, after Qwark betrayed them to a minion of Drek's. Which caused Ratchet to put a vendetta against Qwark while Clank kept on reminding him to keep his goal on defeating Drek too. No matter how much it get's on his nerves.

Which had Angela feeling mad at Ratchet for, but she knew that he learned his lesson after witnessing Drek destroy a planet. Especially since he was nicer to Clank too. But she did learn to not mess with Ratchet's home while he still kicks. As Ratchet's quiet but angry declaration was telling her.

"We're going home."

Later on, at the ship that was given to Ratchet from Megacorp, that was named Star Explorer, Ratchet was making preparations to the ship as well as last minute modding for the ship as Angela and Clank looked on at Ratchet himself.

"But Veldin is in the Solona galaxy." Clank said, trying to assure Ratchet that the Galactic Rangers can save Veldin.

But Ratchet was not listening as he got out what could be described as a new mod for his ship. Which had both Clank and Angela horrified.

"Oh no! Not the Gravimetric Warp drive!" Clank called out to him.

Ratchet proceeded to put the warp drive in the ship's engines, intending to use the attachment.

"The untested Gravimetric Warp drive?!" Angela said, not wanting to die in hyperspace, because of Ratchet saving his home. "The one that you've built, homemade from the Blargian scrap metal?! Are you listening Ratchet?!"

"Coming guys?" He asked, still not in the mood for arguments.

If Clank had a human face, he would've felt it turning white at what they were about to do. As Angela would've too as she was also horrified at the possibility of what was gonna happen to all of them once they use the Warp drive, as they looked at each other. "We're F#$!ed, aren't we?" She said, scared.

"I'm… afraid so." He also said as they both boarded the Star Explorer with Ratchet.


Later, at the Solona galaxy…

It was quiet, not too far from Veldin, when a ship appeared from a bright orange flash as it zoomed through the space with a spin before righting itself. It was nothing other than the Star Explorer as it survived the hyperspace journey. "WHOOOOOHOOOOO!" Ratchet yelled out in excitement as he and his friends was now in space again as he was now flying in the direction to Veldin, feeling fine in his seat as he smirked at his success. "You guys were saying?"

Beside him was both Angela and Clank holding each other as they were haphazardly upside down on the seat. Nevertheless, they were relieved that the test of the Warp drive didn't kill them. "We stand corrected." Angela said between breaths.

After smiling at them in relief, Ratchet instantly got serious again. "I just hope we're not too late." He said as he now zoomed his ship to the direction of where his home is.

It was minutes of some chatting and getting back on their proper position on their seats afterwards, until they saw Veldin on the horizon. And it looked like it's seen better days as it was still under attack as they witnessed from afar. So Ratchet was preparing to send the battle back to the Tyhrranoids. Only to realize something that had him inwardly facepalming.

"Uhh guys?"

"What?" Clank asked, only to realize the same thing. "We forgot our weapons from Megacorp, didn't we?"

"Y-yep." He responded awkwardly with a chuckle. "I didn't think this one through."

"Welp, it seems we might've been defenseless ourselves, if we didn't have that wrench of yours." Angela said deadpan. Referring to his new upgraded wrench that he gained from the Thugs-4-less prison ship during his escape. Which is darker grey with orange highlights, and what he usually keeps with him, as he never leaves his home without it.

"Ah don't sweat it. Hopefully we still have the weapons from our first adventure in my home for use." Ratchet responded.

"Or hopefully the Galactic Rangers are generous enough to hand us one of their own." Clank also said.

Which relieved Angela as she felt that she isn't that good at hand to hand combat herself, as Ratchet had her learning the hard way back when she was still the thief. But she feels that she's good enough as she is in ranged combat. So she hopes that the Rangers would give them guns to fight with as they were now entering the planet.

Where after some flying around in the battlefield, with nobody aiming or shooting at them since they looked like an unimportant ship, or for the Galactic Rangers, they were probably some potential allies. Which for the Tyhrranoids, is a huge mistake that was about to bite them, and for the Rangers, they were about to be proven right, as Ratchet landed near one of the more safer sides of the battlefield, which is near his home, before they all exited the ship.

Where they quickly came across a small force of two Rangers and two Thyrranoids fighting each other as the Thyrranoids were starting to gain the upper hand on their walker vehicles. At least until an explosion was made between the noids from one of the Rangers throwing an explosive, taking them all out. Giving the Rangers room to run ahead.

While Ratchet ended up trying to find his house, only to see that the bridge to his house was out. "This isn't good. I just know that our weapons were in there when we were sent to the Bogon galaxy." Ratchet said somberly, as was Angela also.

"Do not worry. The Rangers can still give us a weapon." Clank said, still remaining hopeful.

"Clank's right. We must not give up so soon, since we can still be armed and ready to help them!" Angela said, still willing to help Ratchet with this situation.

Ratchet ended up snapping out of his somber mood after a second. "Right! Let's go!" He said, before following the path that the Rangers took when they charged ahead.

It was a short run when they quickly met up with the robots themselves as they were crouched down to avoid the fire overhead. "It must be the Galactic Rangers." Clank said, recognizing them from the news broadcast.

"Yep, it's them alright!" Angela said, happy to meet them in person.

They ended up seeing Ratchet and Angela getting closer to them with surprise in their robotic eyes. "Hey look! Our new Sergeants are here!" One of them said in a mechanical voice that sounded like a southern accent.

"Huh!?" Both Ratchet and Angela said confused at how they suddenly were seen as Sergeants by the Rangers themselves. "Wait! Wha-"

"Here female Sarge, you can have my gun! You seem to be a great shot with it anyway." One of them interrupted Angela, as he tossed a gun to her hands. It looked like a short, dark blue cannon, with silver highlights, a glowing scope, and what looked like a grip on the left side, showing that it's meant to be held with the right hand pulling the trigger, while the left holds it for stability. "It's a shock blaster, it's like a shotgun. Take care of it for me!"

"Thanks?" Angela said confused, but relieved that she has a gun in her hand to protect Ratchet, Clank, and herself with.

"There's too many of them! We're gonna die!" One of the Rangers on the left said panicking as another noid mech was running to them, causing two of them to pull back behind the gang. While the third one on the left… jumped off an edge to the abyss below.

Now the noid was gonna fight the gang as it got closer. "I got him!" Angela called out before shooting the Thyrranoid at close range. Taking it down in an explosion. While the gun recoiled in her hand, and knocked her down like she got kicked in the belly, as she landed on her butt.

"Whoa! You okay Angela?!" Ratchet asked concerned. (And trying not to crack up at the accident with Angela.)

"I'll be fine. Just gotta get used to the recoil again." Angela said getting up while rubbing her butt, feeling that she needs to get used to firing a gun again after some time. "Nonetheless, I always did like firing a weapon like this."

"Okay then. Then that weapon is yours. I'll just wait and see if the Rangers will give me another gun. Let's go." He said smiling that she's alright. Before they all ran through the battlefield, while Angela continued blasting more Tyhrranoids both on foot and in the mechs that get in their way.

As well as jumping over the gap to the other side of the flat mountains they were jumping to. With Clank helping Ratchet with the thruster pack gliding. And they also broke the boxes in their path for the bolts inside. (Since bolts are currency in the Solona and Bogon Galaxies.)

Until they came across the other Rangers that was by the doorway to the hanger, where a Thyrannoid ship was inside and shooting at the open doorway by the Rangers, preventing them from getting out of cover to shoot back at it as they fired at the other noids. So they had to remain in cover as Ratchet and Angela jogged closer.

Where they took out the smaller Thyrannoids for the Rangers. Much to their relief. "Are we glad to see you sergeants! We're pinned down by that enemy ship! Somebody has to take that thing down!" One of them said.

"Let me guess. That somebody is me." Ratchet said, seeing his opportunity to help. As well as for another gun.

"Look! We have a volunteer!" The Ranger called out to his friend.

"Thank goodness. Here Sarge, Take this!" The other called out, tossing the Nitro Launcher to Ratchet, which looked like another cannon, only more whiter looking with glowing blue lights, and a lime green handle, and grip on the left side. Which Ratchet smiled at as he held it. "We'll be behind you… literally!" He then said as they both ran the way Ratchet and Angela came. But not pulling back to safety as they stood back and watched Ratchet do his work.

As he then proceeded to blow up the ship with the nitro launcher, before he then noticed that there was a hole in the floor of the hanger. Which he and Angela decided to use to jog to another section of Veldin with the pair of rangers behind them, to blast more Thyrranoids.

As well as help the rest of the Galactic Rangers in fighting the Tyhrranoids. And save Veldin from their attack.

Which Ratchet and Angela was doing a good job at, as they entered an area out of the tunnel they entered in the hanger, where they ended up blasting more of the noids and defeating them despite them having the high ground, which the noids thought was a superior position. But the Nitro launcher convinced the noids otherwise.

Before they then took the path to what could be what's left of a hanger they were going in that had a lowered platform, and open hanger doors that was open just enough for them to go through as they destroyed more noids, and crates full of bolts, and ammo.

"Take that! Tyhrranoid punks!" Ratchet yelled out after bombing one of them.

"Eat this you freaks! This is for my boy- best friends home!" Angela yelled out, almost accidentally saying that Ratchet is her boyfriend. Which fortunately, Ratchet ignored as they both kept on blasting the noids with their shock blaster and nitro launcher. (And on occasion, with Ratchet using his wrench to whack them with.)

As they continued onwards, and blasted more Tyhrranoids, they saw that the tide was starting to turn, where the Rangers were now taking down more Tyhrranoids than the noids were to them, thanks to their intervention. And being their sergeants, they did seem to be a morale boost since they started to become more brave and bold in fighting the noids because of their presence, to where the noids were starting to fall back to another section of Veldin.

Now they had to take the fight to the noids over there, as they came across a dropship that was open with the rangers inside. Looking like it was open for them to ride in.

Which it was, as the Rangers started to greet the trio. "Hello guys. What's the situation?" Ratchet asked.

"The noids have fallen back to the base in the F-sector of Veldin. We've got orders to go to that place and take them down there." The ranger on the right said.

"F-SECTOR?! Are you kidding?! No way! Game over man! I don't wanna end up as scrap metal." The ranger on the left said, trying to walk away.

Only to be grabbed by the torso by Angela. "Listen soldier! We've got no time for cowardice! If you try to desert us, then if the noids don't kill you, we will!" Angela said before shoving the Ranger back onto the ramp, before getting on herself alongside a surprised Ratchet. "Now get back in there Ranger! We've got a planet to save!"

"Yes ma'am!" Both Rangers said saluting her as she and Ratchet entered the drop ship before it took off.

On the drop ship, Ratchet looked at Angela with surprise, and admiration on his face. After all, he did like it when she showed her tough side to anybody that they meet. (As long as it ain't himself that is.) Especially since it shows that she can take care of herself without his presence nearby.

As long as her clumsiness doesn't become her downfall that is.

Angela noticed his staring, and she felt that it was because of her preventing the Ranger from running away. And that left her feeling flattered towards him. "What? Something on my face?" She asked innocently.

"Oh! Uh, no! Not really. I just t-thought that you were cool, keeping that Trooper from leaving like a coward. Who knows what would happen to him out there." Ratchet said.

"Thanks Ratchet." Angela said smiling. "It's great to have you for a friend, regardless of how we met each other firsthand. And I hope to stay with you and see what this planet would be like without this battle happening."

"That would be nice, but this planet isn't anything special. And trust me, I used to live here for a while before meeting Clank. I had no choice since I was stuck here." He said.

"Right, sorry I asked." She said somberly. Reminded of Ratchet telling her about his life before his first adventure with Clank.

"It's okay. I did have some fun on Veldin. And I feel that it's my home regardless of how dangerous it was on occasions. So I also look forward to seeing it as it should be once we're done here." Ratchet said.

"I hope so too. This planet isn't so bad looking. At least compared to Tabora." She said, feeling somber again at how Tabora used to be a pretty rainforest, before Megacorp came along and drained the planet dry of its riches, and destroyed all of the trees, turning it into a desert. But she didn't dwell on it as she prepared to fight alongside Ratchet again.

The rest of the ride was silent for a few minutes when the dropship was now over the battlefield in F-sector, where the Noids were making their last stand on Veldin. And Ratchet, Clank, Angela, and the Rangers were gonna defeat them there. As the door opened, signaling a deployment, freefall style.

The Rangers were now lining up with Ratchet, Clank on Ratchet's back, and Angela behind them, also ready to jump out the dropship. "Not me man! I'm afraid of heights! I wou- WOAAHHHHH!" One of the Rangers tried to say as he wanted to bail from skydiving with his fellows, only to be pushed forwards into bailing out of the dropship instead by his fellow Rangers, on Ratchet's orders as they all jumped out of the dropship, with Ratchet, and Angela close behind them.

Now they were all skydiving into the fray as the Tyhrranoids shot out a lot of rockets and missiles in an attempt to blast the Rangers and the trio out of the sky before they could make it to the ground.

They only succeeded on some of the Rangers as some of them was blown to bits before they could even get close to the ground, some were also destroyed just twenty seconds after jumping out of the ship, and even some were only halfway to pretty close to the ground when they also got blasted.

While Ratchet, Clank, and Angela, along with some of the Rangers, (Which there was still a good enough number of.) were able to reach the ground unscathed regardless of how much missile fire the noids threw at them.

"Okay Ratchet! Time to pull- OH CRAP! I DIDN'T GRAB A PARACHUTE!" Angela screamed out as she realized she only had her suit to wear for jumping out of the ship with. But Ratchet knew what to do at that point.

As Ratchet made sure Angela reaches the ground safely by slowing her descent with Clank's thruster pack after grabbing her hands, shortly before they could hit the ground. Saving her life, much to her relief.

"Are you okay Angela?"

"I'm okay Ratchet. Thank you for the save." She responded, shaking his hand.

"We both should be thanking Clank, he has helped me plenty of times back before in jumping around." Ratchet said, remembering Clank on his back helping him with his heli pack and thruster pack when it comes to navigating some gaps.

"It was no problem. It's always a pleasure to help my friends." Clank said smiling.

After they briefly rested on the ground, they quickly joined with the Rangers in battling the rest of the noids as they made their last stand against them. Which was one heck of a last stand, but with Ratchet and Angela leading the charge, the tide was too strong for the noids, and they had no chance to turn it. No matter how much walkers they rode into battle in, or how much their dropships dropped in, or they did some ambush tactics, they still had no way to win the battle.

During the battle against the noids, Angela's shock gun ended up glowing in her hands, which had her curiously looking at it. Before it ended up changing shapes in her hands to a stronger version that she fired seconds after it evolved.

She's heard of this phenomenon, and was even told about this from Ratchet himself when he was on his journeys. Where once they take down enough enemies, they end up causing the weapon to start upgrading itself, via some sort of nanotech technology. It is said that the enemies they kill, drops nanomites that quickly gets absorbed into the weapon that dealt the lethal blow. And collecting enough of them, would make the weapon 'level up' as it's called, which changes the weapon in hand to a more stronger, powerful version of the original article. Whether they increase the stopping power, increase the rate of fire of its shots, or even gives it some beneficial side effects to the shots.

Like making a chain of lightning that zaps the other enemies near the enemy getting shot, or catches them on fire, etc.

Whether the nanomite thing is the truth or not, she doesn't know. She was merely a former employee in the Genetics division in Megacorp. And a newbie soldier that somehow got the rank of Sergeant shortly after setting foot on her best friend's home planet. But at least she has some skill in combat to earn the Sergeant rank. As Ratchet also learned the hard way when they fought on Siberius.

He won the battle for the Protopet, but it wasn't an easy victory. And he dreads to see how she preforms if they fight each other again, and when she goes all out.

On the other hand, Ratchet ended up feeling his nitro launcher starting to grow stronger, which was a tell tale sign that it was gonna evolve too once he takes down more of the enemies that he fights along the way to his goal of saving the planet.

It was a couple minutes of fighting, and for Ratchet, using his levitator attachment on Clank to fly to the other mountains to take down more of the noid's bases when the battle eventually ended in Ranger victory.

It wasn't an easy one for Ratchet or Angela when they fought against the last attack ship that was on the ground, that fired at them while the remnant of the noid invasion force retreated out of Veldin, ensuring that they'll be able to fight another day. The attack ship only half did its job as it got shot down by Angela, who shot the ship with a charged shot from the Shock blaster to destroy it.

While she also got sent flying back a foot from the recoil, which knocked her on her butt. Ratchet felt concerned, but Angela was alright. "Oof! That was awesome! But I better not use it if I have a bottomless pit behind me." She said nervously on the last part.

Nevertheless, they both were still fighting and winning as they took down some of the retreating forces of Tyhrranoids as the rest of them were able to escape. Much to Ratchet's dismay, but he knew he can take them out next time. He just needs to prepare to fight them.

Currently though, they were now at one of the dropships of the Galactic Rangers as the Rangers cleaned up the sector of the aftermath of the battle that they won. With some celebrating their victory, some giving Ratchet and Angela thanks for their leadership and bravery, and some even learning about the heroism of Ratchet's last adventure in both Galaxies, causing them to want an autograph from him. (He proceeded to write some of them for the Rangers as thanks for their help. Much to Angela's slight envy.)

Then one of the Rangers stepped up to Ratchet. "Sir! We have an incoming transmission from the President!" The Ranger said before a HD screen appeared by his side, showing a large male Cazar with dark brown fur and blue eyes that showed a gentle look in them. He wore a dark blue suit with golden highlights that showed that he's a president of the Marcadia planet. A planet that Ratchet visited after Drek's defeat, and before his Bogon journey. Where he learned about the Casares from the museums, though he didn't meet the President at the time.

"How are things on the frontline soldier?" He asked the Galactic Ranger, until he spotted Ratchet and Clank, causing his eyes to widen. "Is… is that…?" He asked while Ratchet was expecting him to recognize himself as the hero the Solona Galaxy. "Is that Secret Agent Clank!?" he asked, much to Ratchet's dismay and Angela's amusement.

"It's an honor to make your acquaintance sir. We're here to help." Clank said, feeling proud and a little weirded out about his Tv show's success.

"Well it's an honor to meet you too Agent Clank!" The president said happily. "And I see you've brought your chauffeur along, the one who defeated Drek." He then said, hearing about Ratchet's heroism from Behind the Hero.

"What? Hold on a minute sir! Thank you for the praise, but-" He tried to say while Angela was trying not to giggle at his expense.

"And I see that you've brought along a new gal, have you not? Name and rank rookie!" The president commanded.

"Sir! Sergeant Angela Cross! Former Employee of Megacorp in the Bogon Galaxy, sir! Resigned after the Protopet Incident that put the Galaxy in danger, only for them to save it with me! I'm with them now!" She proclaimed while saluting the President, referring to Ratchet and Clank.

"Well color me impressed, you've got a pair of great soldiers, one of which defeated that planet destroying monster." The president said referring to Drek. "I have to admit, I hope they'll have a wedding someday."

If Ratchet was drinking some soda, he'd be spitting it out in shock at the last part. "Wait! WHAT?! Sir! I swear, we're just-" He tried to say as Angela blushed at what he also said, feeling embarrassed, yet flattered about the wedding with Ratchet. She just isn't ready for one yet in this situation, and she feels that he's the same way.

"But there's no time for autographs or love! We must stop Dr. Nefarious!" The president said seriously.

"Yes. That's what we're planning to do once we save Veldin." Clank said. With Ratchet and Angela in Agreement.

"Well, as you might know, only one man was able to fight Dr. Nefarious, and live. Not only that, but he also beat him." The president then said. "And I have received a secret report on that man's whereabouts. Here, take a look." He then said before the screen changed.


"Tonight! On Nature's Mysteries! We examine the swamp forests of the Planet known as Florana, where the mysterious Florana tree beast resides!" The announcer said as a blue moon with a yellow question mark on it appeared on a black screen.

Then it showed a swamp that had both tall trees that covered the sun, and some jamboo plants that both Ratchet and Angela heard about from a museum in Megapolis. "Deep in the Florana's jamboo forest lives a mysterious creature. Or maybe, it isn't a beast. It's, ONE OF NATURE'S MYSTERIES!" He said showing the same moon.

Then it showed an old looking miner guy with a white moustache and chartreuse green skin wearing a white t-shirt with tears on it. "I've seen him run right through our camp site!" He said with a southern accent. "He was buck nekkid! Screamin, and holdin a banan'r! Or maybe it wasn't a banan'r, but it could be-"

"ONE OF NATURE'S MYSTERIES!" The announcer said interrupting the miner.

Then it showed a blurry picture of a top heavy muscular man that wore some primitive clothing, and was walking and looking at the camera when the picture was taken, even though it looked like it was taken from an old black and white camera that wasn't HD quality, so it was only barely enough for someone to distinguish who the man is if they look hard enough at the picture. "Legend has it that this mysterious creature, is one of the greatest heroes of the Galaxy. Shamed by his recent memory, he is now… ONE OF NATURE'S MYSTERIES! Tune in and find out the truth, next time." The announcer said before the screen went black.


Before it then showed the president again. "You three must travel to the Florana swamp planet. And see if that man is truly there. If so, then you must find this man. The fate of our galaxy might depend on it."

Ratchet and Angela was confused about that though. "Are you sure that could be the guy to defeat Nefarious?" Angela asked.

"Because he seems like some… you know… wacko." Ratchet then said, emphasizing the last part with his hands open.

The president ended up thinking about it for a millisecond. "You both may be right, but he's the only chance we've got at defeating that mad doctor. I know that none of you will let me down."

"You can count on us sir." Clank then said.

Afterwards, after the trio helped with the clean up on Veldin, they took the dropship, and had the Rangers fly them back to Ratchet's ship, where they had the coordinates to Florana downloaded to their computer with Clank's help.

Then, they ended up having some help from the Rangers in getting to Ratchet's home, where he was able to regain his weapons from his first adventure with Clank. Including his personal favorite weapon, the Tesla Claw, and some Golden weapons that they got from the Gemlik Base where they fought Qwark to end Ratchet's vendetta against him.

Which included the Golden Bomb glove, the Golden Pyrocitor, the golden Blaster, and the Golden Suck Cannon.

After they said goodbye to the Rangers, they were now flying out of a now saved Veldin as they were on their way to the Florana planet where Ratchat and Clank's third journey, and Angela's second journey with Ratchet, was about to begin.


And done.

Here it is folks, my fifth fanfic that is a fanfic for Ratchet and Clank. Where what if Angela decided to stay with Ratchet and Clank, and become a third member of their team when the events of UYA takes place.

Which does beg the question as to why she was left out of UYA, (Even though there was mentions as to why she ain't with him in later games.) because I did like them together, they were basically like a brother and sister in my eyes.

Which is what their friendship will be like during this journey, before their eventual romance which will happen at an indefinite time, on an indefinite planet. That's all I can say about their relationship for now.

Also, yes, there are the golden weapons that Ratchet and Angela will use in this fanfic. They just look cool to me, and they're useful. Whether I'm gonna have them upgrade like the rest of the weapons in GC and UYA, I don't know. Maybe I'll leave a poll of it later on.

Finally one more thing.

I hope that you enjoyed the chapter,
