HotXbun: A new year means new beginnings. And that is why I am starting out the new year with a new fan fiction!

This is on my take on what a sequel to the Ratchet and Clank movie might be like. It will be based on Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. Also known as Ratchet and Clank: Locked and Loaded or Ratchet and Clank 2 depending on where you live.

There will be 'Ratchet and Clank Extras' based on Avatar Extras from Avatar The Last Airbender. You 'should' read my Avatar The Last Airbender fan fiction 'Should Do This'. See what I did there?

At the end of every chapter I will give you a challenge, but you don't have to do them.

Enough with the long author's note! On with my first post of 2018!

Disclaimer: I do not own Ratchet and Clank. Sony does.

Chapter 1 The Anniversary

Reporter's POV [Ratchet and Clank Extra: This is the first time the story's in a reporter's POV.]

Hello Solana! Today is the one year anniversary of the day our Galactic Rangers saved our galaxy! You see, the evil Lord Drek was destroying unpopulated planets. Because of this, our president asked the Galactic Rangers to add a new member to the team, but they just couldn't find the right one. What's worse, the ranger's home base was attacked by Drek's robot army! But then, just as the Galactic Rangers seemed doomed, they were saved! By who you ask? Well it was none other than Ratchet and Clank! Ratchet was just an ordinary mechanic from Veldin and Clank was just a defect from Drek's army. But these two nobodies teamed up and saved our rangers! Afterwards, the two joined the team! Their first mission was at Drek's war bot factory where something terrible happened! Captain Quark, the former hero of Solana, betrayed the Galactic Rangers! This caused the Rangers to fail their next mission and Ratchet to quit! Luckily, the other rangers convinced Ratchet to come back and together they defeated the bad guys! Afterwards Ratchet left and Clank followed after. Which leaves everyone wondering, where are they now? [Ratchet and Clank Extra: That was a way of recapping what happened in the movie.]

Ratchet's POV [Ratchet and Clank Extra: This is the first time the story's in Ratchet's POV.]

I was riding my speeder on Veldin with Clank on my back.

I was wearing a black, long sleeved, leather jacket that was zipped up; black jeans; black, leather combat boots; black, leather gloves and a black helmet with a full, black visor. [Ratchet and Clank Extra: Should somebody really be wearing that much black when they're in a dessert?]

I saw a rock wall and got an idea.

"Hey Clank", I started. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Clank saw what I was looking at and realised what I was thinking.

"Oh no", Clank said in realisation.

"Oh yes", I said. [Ratchet and Clank Extra: Oh boy.]

With that I fired my swing shot onto the wall and pulled the speeder onto it!

I then rode onto the wall and flipped the bike onto the cliff.

I took off my helmet and looked out at the horizon.

Clank quickly jumped off my back.

"I wish you would stop doing such dangerous stunts Ratchet", he stated.

"Oh come on Clank", I said. "Where's your sense of adventure?"

"Unlike you, I do not find amusement in thrill and adventure", Clank replied. "I prefer to help from inside a safe computer room."

"Boring", I stated before putting my helmet back on and jumping onto the speeder. "Come one. We better get back to the garage."

With that Clank jumped onto my back and we rode away.

HotXbun: And that's the beginning of the story.

Challenge: Tell me what you think is going to happen next.

My Answer: Let's just say...Ratchet and Clank are about to get a job offer.
