The sky was a pale blue with clouds like sheep with fluffy white. Ratchet and Clank had been playing the hot, new video game Mario's Call of Duty: Modern Princess-Rescuing. They were on the undersea level. In it Mario and Sgt. Price must engage underwater goombas who may have kidnapped Princess Coconut, Princess Peach's ugly sister. When Clank asked, "Ratchet if it's such a nice day why the **** are we inside playing video games?"
"Because it's what the fans do, Clank. Shouldn't we get more in touch with our inner fans?" said Ratchet.
"Not really," said Clank, "why couldn't do something more apprehensive with our time?" Ratchet laughed. They went out after defeating the evil General Bowser by crashing a plane and shoving up his bung hole.
They were walking down the gray pavement when they saw a poster that said, "Step right up! Super Poop Man will bee signing autographs today at the mall. Free copies of his new album, Pooped My Pantaloons Awright! Fans will be given with a small fee for the autograph." Ratchet and Clank had never heard of Super Poop Man but they thought they'd check it out.
They landed on a small personal-parking lot where there was a small line waiting at the mall. Ratchet went to the end of the line and was punched by a Terachnoid waiting in line, "Hey nub the line starts here. You can't just cut in line." Ratchet looked behind and saw a soldier in heavy armor was cutting in front of the line. "Zip it, dumbass. I need to get to Super Poop Man. He's in danger." He looked to Ratchet, "You must be the Lombax. Come with me and take this." He handed Ratchet a Constructo Pistol and began to stride in. "Now I want you to climb upstairs and place this charge in the food court." Clank looked at him puzzled he asked him, "Who are you?" The soldier only handed him the charge, "I'll tell you later. I sinc'd into your Nav Unit. You'll be told what to do as this continues. Do you trust me?" Ratchet began to open his mouth but the soldier left.
Ratchet climbed the stairs and went to the food court. "Now place the charge in the center," the Soldier said in his deep monotone voice. A cop fired at him. Ratchet pulled out the pistol and shot him in the stomach. "Did you silence the cop? Good. You might wanna plant the charge in the center. If more guards come, kill them too. We can't leave any witnesses. Then proceed to the Super Poop Man trailer." Ratchet did as told and the soldier handed him a detonator. Clank hopped off Ratchet's back and looked at Ratchet. "Ratchet I do not trust him. He may be an assassin." Clank told Ratchet. The soldier grabbed the two and put them in an escape pod. He pressed a code and the ship launched to unknown regions
