(AN: So here we go, a crossover that I doubt no one has thought of. I mean, I know it sounds absurd, but I have thought about ideas for this story for a few months and have, well, decided to write it.

If you've played Ratchet and Clank but haven't played ICO (which you should, it's an amazing game :P), don't worry, you won't be lost. Everything you need to know will be explained. Just so you know, for continuity's sake, this is when events in the story take place:

In the Ratchet and Clank universe: Takes place after "Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal"

In the ICO universe: Takes place after Ico and Yorda arrive at the East Arena

One more thing, as for updates, this fic will be updated every two to three days. So, check back often!

Anyways, I've been working on this fic since October, and have been waiting to publish it here. Since I'm almost done posting the last chapter on another website, I hope you enjoy "Lost Souls" here.)

Ratchet and Clank and ICO are owned by Sony Computer Entertainment.

"Clank, remind us again why we're doing this?"

"Captain Quark told us to do this. Have you already forgotten?"

"No, it's just that it's way too fishy. Think about it, we're in the middle of nowhere in space. Looking for some material Quark's probably going to sell after we give it to him."

"Now Ratchet, I'm sure Captain Quark won't do anything like that."

"Maybe, but if he does, I'm putting my foot up his ass for making me go through hell."

Ratchet and Clank were currently aboard their ship. The two were sent on a mission by Captain Quark to find a material known as "Virotanium", a "very rare substance that I desperately need" as put by the captain himself. Supposedly the material only exists on one planet, and it's heavily guarded by robots still under the rule of Dr. Nefarious.

"Turn here Ratchet, according to our radar, we are nearly there."

Ratchet piloted the ship to the direction of the planet.

"Now we may need to slow down, there are asteroids here." The small robot had said.

"Relax buddy, I know what I'm doing."

Hitting the brakes, the lombax slowly piloted the ship across the asteroid field, getting across it moments later.

"See? I told you. Nothing to worry about."

However, Clank's face seemed to fall, as if he had seen something terrifying.

"Clank? Buddy what's wrong?"

"R-Ratchet…" Clank mumbled.

"What's going on? Clank!"

"Look." Clank pointed to the window of the ship, prompting Ratchet to look out of it. What had terrified Clank was now starting to terrify Ratchet.

Right across from them was a large black hole; the lombax could feel the ship moving towards the hole.

"Clank, we need to get out of here pronto! Do whatever you can to get us out of here!"

Ratchet pressed all buttons on the control panel. Speeding up seemed to not help, as the winds of the black hole intensified. Attempting to roll caused the ship to inch closer to the black hole. Clank had attempted to connect himself to the ship in hopes of finding something to speed up the ship. Much to the robot's dismay, he couldn't do anything. Ratchet had begun to lose hope, and started to accept his fate. That was, until his eye caught the Emergency Escape button on the control panel.

"That's it! Clank we're saved!"

Ratchet pressed the button, excited that they found their method of escape.

Nothing happened however.

"Wha?" The lombax kept pressing the button, but no matter how hard he pushed it, nothing happened.

"Ratchet… didn't that button get damaged a month ago?"

"…are… are you kidding me?"

"No, I was there when it happened."

Ratchet sharply exhaled, muttering a curse under his breath.

"Well buddy… it looks like the end…" Ratchet took Clank into his arms, hugging him tightly. "If I die, well… I just wanna die with you."

The ship went closer and closer to the black hole.

"Ratchet… maybe by some chance, we will survive?"

The ship now began to start getting sucked into the hole.

"Maybe, but if we do, I just hope you're there."

Ratchet and Clank could feel the ship shaking violently as it was getting sucked in.

"I feel the same way too Ratchet…"

With their last breaths, the lombax and the robot screamed as the ship was fully sucked into the black hole. The hole was now shutting tightly and soon disappearing moments later.
