I do not own Ratchet and Clank or any other trademarked or registered names, Insomniac does.
This chapter is based on the final battle between Nefarious and Ratchet from ACIT. The rest will be improvised.
R&C: If Nefarious Won
Chapter 1: The End...
My name is Ratchet. I am one of the last remaining Lombaxes in the galaxy. A long time ago, I met Clank, a robot made to be the caretaker of the Great Clock. A lot of stuff has happened lately, and Clank and I are trying to stop Dr. Nefarious. It's beyond evil. He plans to reverse every right in the universe.
We arrive back at the Nefarious Space Station after being tied to an asteroid headed towards Planet Morklon. Luckily, the Zoni I had in my Zoni Vessel protected us during the impact. After what happened on Morklon, we managed to secure a ship and head back to stop Nefarious.
Clank and I find out that Lawrence returned to pick up Dr. Nefarious. We quickly find the transport and see Qwark with the War Grok. "Really?" I think to myself. We continue towards the ship and fight Nefarious's minions. I get hit with a few shots, but it doesn't hurt too much.
As we get closer, we can hear periodic updates for the ship's fueling: 34%, 66%, and 92%. Finally we hear the computer say, "Fueling sequence complete." I run to find the ship. I see Nefarious and Lawrence in front of a console, and I use my hoverboots to glide down to the platform.
We start fighting on a ring around the station. He has Lawrence backtrack into the station so no damage happens to the ship. He fires plasma blasts at me. I dodge to best of my abilities, but he gets a few hits. I'm starting to feel weak, but I keep firing my weapons.
He loses about a quarter of his health when he has Lawrence use the Hypernova Defense Laser. I engage my hoverboots and speed ahead to get away from the laser. The heat from the laser makes me sweat. I loop around a few times before Nefarious stops. We go back to the way we were fighting. He starting to get annoyed as he keeps trying to taunt me. I've dealt with stuff like this all the time, but I just can't believe how much he wants this.
He has Lawrence use the laser again, and this time, halfway through, he tells Lawrence to turn it on max. When he does this, I can feel the metal shake, and it starts to break. Adrenaline pumps through me, and I start to speed up, jumping off of each piece and onto the next. I keep telling myself, "Jump. Jump. Jump." I end up landing on Nefarious's ship and Lawrence floors it to the Great Clock.
"You think you can stop me?" yells Nefarious.
"I know I can," I retort, "We won't let you use the clock."
We continue fighting. It gets hard to fight Nefarious after Lawrence uses the blasters on the ship.
Soon, he lands a direct hit on me, and I fall down. He laughs. I cough up blood. I'm injured badly, and he knows it too. I get up and try to fight a bit more before I get weary. I stumble to the floor of the ship.
Dr. Nefarious gets closer to me and says, "You know, I wanted to kill you, but, I think I'll extend your life just to see me succeed."
I get a bad feeling that I know what he means.
A few minutes later, covered with blood, I see what looks to me like a bunch of gears. When we get closer, I realize it's the Great Clock. Nefarious looks at me, and I know that bad feeling was right.
"I'm going to turn back time and make the universe the way I want it," says Dr. Nefarious, putting emphasis on the "I." "And who knows? I might feel a little generous and allow you to live in the new universe."
We arrive at the Orvus Chamber, and Nefarious and Lawrence exit the ship. I'm not in the position to argue, so I follow them into the chamber. Clank stays outside the chamber. He knows there's nothing he can do to stop Nefarious. He just hopes that I stay alive.
In the center of the chamber, there's a lever. It looks to be what controls the time shifting capabilities. Nefarious puts his hands on the lever and moves it to the left. The computer says, "Time shift initiated." Nefarious laughs as he looks at me. I feel lightheaded, and I start to fade away. The last I see is Nefarious's feet when he starts to walk toward me.
