Disclaimer: I think they get the point by now.

Welcome back to the wonderful world of Crusade. While I work out the many options that are going through my head at the moment, right now you will be getting a character sheet for now.

Prologue and Characters

Alema: Ratchet and Angela's daughter, the brightest one of their kids, she takes after her mother as a scientist and geneticist. She is the middle child, and is thirteen years old.

Ax: The happy couple's adventurous and tough son who takes after Ratchet, and inherited his father's Rynocerator at just the age of five. The firstborn, others often consider him the favorite. At the time of the story, he is sixteen years old.

Screwdriver: It is not clear where this young man is going, possibly a senior officer on the Starship Phoenix, for two reasons. Number one, he is a natural leader. Number two, when Ratchet was giving the kids a tour of the Phoenix, the young, five-year-old-boy wondered off. While he was looking for his family, he felt he had to go to the bathroom. He eventually found himself in the living quarters where he heard the sound of running water. He knocked on the door and the water turned off, and he heard a female voice inside say, "Coming". However, he misinterpreted it and thought she said, "Come in", which he did, and was surprised to see the Captain of the Starship Phoenix herself, standing right in front of him, completely naked. She just stood there for a second, surprised to see such a young Lombax just wondering the ship. Then, her mind jumped back to the present, and she screamed and jumped to the towel rack and quickly covered herself. "Who are you," she asked. He just stood there, mesmerized by the wonderful sight he had just seen. She asked him again but he still did not respond. Then Ratchet, who had heard the scream, rushed into the room and was just as surprised as his son was to see Sasha dripping wet, in a towel, with his son staring at her upstairs, and then slowly to her downstairs, and then up again. Ratchet apologized and they left. Screwdriver has been hooked on that Cazar ever since. He is the youngest in the family and is currently nine years old.

It was a typical day in the life of a retired superhero. Ratchet was skydiving on Veldin when he heard the bad news. He was about half way down to the ground, when some Rangers joined him. They signaled for him to stop and Ratchet told Clank to activate the Levitator, which he kept fueled for just such occasions. "What's up?"

"We've, got some bad news, Sar-, uh, I mean, Ratchet. The Starship Phoenix was attacked and destroyed," said the Ranger.

Ratchet just floated there, amazed at what he had heard. Then he fell into a rage and did not notice the fact that his Levitator was running out of fuel until he was already falling. Screwdriver was on that ship at the time.
