Author's Note: Some of you will be curious wondering if this is a crossover. This is a crossover of the Ratchet and Clank series, the Sly Cooper series, and the Jax and Daxter series. Now, there are both historical and present real life references here. Some examples will be the IXS Enterprise, a ship that is theorized to go 10 times the speed of light which NASA is working on right now, no police in parts of Europe, because in my opinion, EU is getting messed up recently, and the so called "Mark of the Beast" which is what we see today as those implants being put into people. Trust me, I'm also preying for the victims who didn't want it and those who regret it. I'm going to ask you to pray for those people as they did the worst thing ever to themselves, both physically and spiritually. Some of you are going to take this to be offensive and I understand. This series will be T-rated anyways. Now, this is a fictional story based on fictional video games so please do not get mad at me because the IXS Enterprise wasn't here by 2030, I'm not a Rocket Scientist nor a Quantum Scientist, NASA did say they were gonna have a warp drive by 2027 before Trump took office and gave them economic help. By the time I start Writing the 3rd chapter, I looked at other R&C fanfics to get an idea of how I can improve on my writing style to reduce repetitiveness. This will hopefully be the only time I'm doing an Author's Note.
At a misson somewhere in Solona Galaxy, Talwyn was chatting about random stuff to Ratchet. "So, what do you think? Could it be a possibility that Earthians are getting smarter?" she said. Ratchet replied, "Of course, why else would they have things like smartphones. It's not close to our technology, but they seem to be advancing pretty fast. Clank butted into the conversation. "Yeah, they even managed to fly a space craft to another star within two weeks. They called it the IXS Enterprise, built by NASA at their year of 2025. Came back to Earth within the same month. Seems like an individual decided to try and build it themselves, but they aren't done yet." Ratchet was worried about clank for a second. "Are you sure they built one thousands of years ago?" Clank Replied "2025 on their calender, not ours. if it's about how fast it was built however, it was because their 2017 American President gave NASA permission to get help from private corperations." They have just arrived to their mission spot. "Interesting story" Taiwyn replied"
Meanwhile, somewhere at Earth, at the Iberian Peninsula, a car chase was going on, Police were allowibg this chase to happen as an item was stolen from an individual who was meeting with family in Portugal. The Van in the front had Sly and Bentley looking at the item they stolen while Murray was driving. The Toyota SUV behind them was the guy who happened to have spotted them, this guy seemed to be catching up to them.
"So what is it anyways?" Asked Sly. "I'm guessing this is a smaller and improved version of a warp drive. This is still built by an American though." Replied Bentley, Bentlry put the Drive into a safe container. The persuer soon managed to ram into the Van causing it to flip over and land on it's roof. Everyone got out of their cars. Murrey tried to beat the guy down, but was tazed and knocked down. An EMP sticky was thrown at Bentley's electronic chair rendering it useless. Sly then tries to whack the guy with his cane, but was quickly disarmed and was knocked down. The guy was a just heading to the van to get the container.
"Next time, I'm building the ship before I meet my family." says the guy, "on the other hand, you guys need to just stay in France. I could use you guys if an alien conflict were to occur, I heard you are very talented. For now, I just can't trust ya."
"Who are you?" asked Sly. "You can call me Adrien. one of those so-called 'stupid Americans'. In my opinion, you do this stuff because you are able to thanks to these EU people. Then again, you did get confronted by cops." Said the guy, "I did have a list of things I wanted you to do to pay me back for this, but you seem to already have that on your book, one of them has to do with overthrowing a German Regime for ruling the world. Maybe you can moe that to the top of your list and I'll consider being allies with you, deal?" Sly replied, "Deal!" He dropped the cane, got in his car, and went to the nearest international airport.
Adrien went back home to California and worked on the ship for a few hours. He finally finished the thing. The ship was smaller than the IXS enterprise and was built for 5 people despite having one chair for now. It had a storage compartment for food, water, medicine, and weaponry. The ship had layers of armor for different situations and was equipped with custom 1. caliber machine guns which used custom 1 caliber rounds. It also had engines with more than enough power to get out of atmosphere. The ship's power systems were mostly built with thorium instead of uranium to not cause as much damage to the atmosphere. This ship had life support like the suit Adrien is going to use. The suit is protective, has magnet boots for moving around the ship, and a grappling hook for certain situations. Everything works in space, including the toilet. The ship was also built with two AI systems that can be turned on and off, Cortana and Siri. These AI's were built into the super computer where Adrien stored important information for health, safety, and etc. He even had a radio built in. Just incase...
He started to fly the ship. Soon some Airforce pilots were curious. "Unidentified Aircraft, you have a US Flag, I see that, state your name and business."Said the pilot on the radio. "I am Adrien Tavirez who worked for NASA. I am going to do some exploring. If my last name sounds a bit strange, my dad was born at Mozambique, a former Portuguese colony. I'm for sure am going farther than Magellan so I might see you in a month or so." Adrien replied. The Airforce pilot then was curious and asked another question. "Where did you get that Warp Drive? It's definitely not from NASA." Adrien replied, "I got it from my garage, don't worry, I'll warp when I'm far out enough in space."
Adrien soon got out of Atmosphere and started to warp travel. He somehow was going 200 times the speed of light. Luckily for him, he's still able to watch out for other objects. He did warp travel for about a month. Soon, he found himself stopping the ship as a planet was right in front of him for the first time. This was where he sees a war going on between two factions. He was able to distinguish between these two factions and chose one. He used his ship to fight the one he didn't choose. Soon the battle ended with the faction he supported as the winner. He was about to warp, but he heard someone on the radio who spoke the same language. "Thanks for the help there, maybe we could discuss an alliance?"
Adrien replied, "We can figure something out, this was a fight or flight situation for me, you guys are definitely part of a team or even a nation. What do you guys call yourselves?"
The contact replied, "Polaris Defense Force. You were just in the middle of a battle with Nefarious Faction. We do recognize that flag. I suggest you land in one of our carriers and remove it immediately, otherwise, you might lose your planet to them. Trust me, we know that's your 3rd ship."
Adrien complied and did everything he was asked to do.. He did carry a gun out of the ship just incase. His gun was pinted down range so he did seem like he was carrying it passively. One of the main Solona Rangers met with him. "Hey, I'm Taiwyn, one of the Marksmen here. We began to recognize that you Earthians came up with a warp drive."
"Earthians? Okay, don't get me wrong, but I don't know what that term means, then again, I'm only human." said Adrien. Then he realized what she was talking about, "Oh, you mean beings from Earth?"
Taiwyn nodded. Adrien took down his flag and stored it in his ship's safe. "Hey Cortana, is my warp drive good for another go as soon as we get this ship off this carrier?" he asked. He recieved a not so pleasing answer from the AI. "The warp drive is too damaged for the ship to travel anywhere faster than 20,000 MPH. Siri did take a look in the carrier's legally accessable records and found a repair shop in a planet known as Veldin that uses the tools required to fix the ship and at the same time offers enough landing room to get there. You'll also find it to be a very quiet area as long as Taiwyn isn't too loud with one of her boyfriends there." Adrien then talks to his ship's AI again. "Cortana, I don't need the extra details, I only need something that's not gonna get me in an argument over something I didn't need to hear."
Taiwyn comes to check on him, "You need help with anything?" Adrien then replied, "Yes, I need you guys to set a course for Veldin, this ship needs a repair and a few upgrades." Taiwyn handed him some bolts, "Getting right to it."
Adrien questioned her. "What are these for, the bolts on my ship are intact." Taiwyn replied, "Bolts are a currency in parts of Solona Galaxy like how the U.S. Dollar are a currency in the U.S. and Greece and how Euro is a currency in parts of Europe. It's more like coins if you want an example."
Soon, at Veldin, Adrien went to land at Veldin, but he realized that his landing gear was working, he cresh landed right infront of the shop. He was able to get out, but his concussion made him collapse and black out. He didn't even realize he had the concussion until then.
3 hours later Adrien woke up with his back against a wall. Ratchet was talking to Grimroth looking for a good time to get him to Kerwan to get a new ship. Clank was just watching Adrien.
Clank alerted them. "He's awake!"
Ratchet went to check on him, he held three fingers up."How many fingers am I holding up." Adrien replied, "I'm guessing three. Right or wrong, I still feel impaired, then again, that's what I get for making a ship that just started to exist. Is my flag safe at least?"
Ratchet answered him "It's been messed up quite a bit, sorry about that."
"No biggy, as long as you didn't burn it, you don't have to apologize." Adrien said.
Grimroth signaled Ratchet back to got his flag, folded it up, and put it in one of his magazine storage spaces. He then went to the wall and took a nap.
