Okay, so, I thought about this and I always wonder what would have happened if Ratchet took up that proposal of becoming a pirate captain. Also, I just couldn't make the time line be before A Crack in Time, so this is going to have Clank.
Disclaimer: *Looks through a box full of papers* Nope, the rights of Ratchet and Clank aren't in here either. I'm still sure I don't own Ratchet and Clank.
"Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me! Yo ho! Yo ho!" I can't believe I took up the offer of being a Space Pirate. I listened to the pirates' song as I silently gazed up at the stars on what was Captain Darkwater's ship. "Well, this is something." Clank said beside me while he was fiddling with his cutlass. I only grunted in agreement as I slowly ran a sharpening stone over my own cutlass.
My wrench was back in the captain's cabin on a wall mount where it will stay until I pick it back up when I need it. Luckily with us being with these pirates, they let Clank keep every upgrade he has, Zoni know that we might need 'em. All my other weapons are in chests in the wepon hold along with spare cutlasses, pistols, ammo, powder, and cannon balls. Oh, and yeah, all the grog is scattered around the ship either in a fellow pirate's hand or in a barrel somewhere in the cargo hold.
"Oi! Cap'n Ratchet! Where ye be leadin' ye new crew!" Captain Slag called up to me from the main deck. I put my cutlass back in it's sheath and clipped Clank to my back just before I leapt off the crows nest and zip lined down the wires, twisting myself around just before I would wind up going overboard and I landed on all fours in front of my crew. I stood up and commanded in a very terrible pirate talk, "We be headin' for Ardolis!"
The crew exploded in cheers and the singing and drinking continued as the ship made it's way to Ardolis. When the ship was pointed in the right direction, the warp drive was activated and the sectors that were in our way flew right on by the ship in a blur. When the ship dropped out of the warp drive, Ardolis was right in front of the ship. "Welcome to our new home, Clank." I said with small homesickness for Veldin in my heart.
I know it's too late to turn back on the whole pirate thing, but I'm starting to wish I had said no on that offer.
Well, that's some beginning for a story. Let me know if you guys want this story or not and I'll see you guys later.
