~Chapter 1: Kidnapped~
Two years after Ratchet, Clank and Quark had gotten off Magnus. Nobody had any idea where Nefarious was after he took off with Cronk and Zephyer's ship. But they had other problems. Heroes had been disappearing all over the Solana and Polaris galaxies. Even the Smuggler and Quark had disappeared. Galactic Police had been on the lookout ever since Angela Cross had disappeared 5 years ago. Ever since then, people had started disappearing: Kid Nova, Sasha from the Starship Phoenix, Big Al, etc. The latest disappearance was when President Quark had disappeared after drawing a picture about him fighting a fire breathing Z'Grute.
Ratchet was working on a new addition to Aphelion when Clank walked in. "Ratchet," he started, "we just got an infobot from the capital in Lumunopolis." Ratchet turned around. "An infobot?" he asked, "I didn't know they made those in Polaris." Clank sighed and showed him the message. "Huh," Ratchet scratched his head, "Why would anyone kidnap Quark? He barely knows what two plus two is." "Well Ratchet, in the message they said he was given a blueprint for a new weapon that could destroy an entire planet, like Drek's deplanetizer."
"Now why in the world would they give that to Quark?" Ratchet asked.
"No one knows." Clank answered.
Ratchet was about to answer until giant robots had busted through a wall in the base.
He pointed to Ratchet. "Are you the lombax named Ratchet?" Ratchet said "Yes but-." Before he could finish, the robot grabbed him and started taking him to their ship. Clank rushed to one of the robots and said, "Hey! If you take Ratchet, you have to take me too!" The robot turned. "Get lost pipsqueak. Our orders were to only get the lombax." He then smacked Clank back into the garage while Clank yelled, "Aahh!" Before the robots had taken off, Clank had gotten up and sprinted to the ship. It started up and the flames knocked Clank backwards. Just as it was about to go out of range, Clank changed hid form to the thruster-pack and grabbed onto a part of the landing gear.
Clank thought, Those idiotic robots forgot to put up the landing gear. Clank held on as hard as he could. He was going to find out why these robots took Ratchet, and where they were taking him.
