A woman was hard at work, clicking buttons on her special laptop faster than the eye could see. She was very focused, like it had to be done within the hour. The stuff she was typing was very complex, like she was typing in quadratic formulas and typing equations, only to create what looked like a special device, one that looked like it could change the world.

"It's all falling into place." She said. She smiled at her blueprint. "It's gorgeous, simply gorgeous! With this, I can change the world as I know it now, and after I make my debut, nothing will ever be the same again." She printed out her blueprint and observed it.

"Hmm... I'm missing a few parts, but that won't be too hard to do." She grunted as the phone rang. She set down her blueprint and picked it up.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Hello Sirena." He started. "I have the magnum cockpit, just as you needed for your new weapon."

"Good, Good. When should I come to pick it up?"

"Come to Aleero City. Make sure you bring me what I requested."

" Don't you worry, Tyson, I'll have everything you need. Just don't get your pants in a twist." And with that, she hung up.

Great, just what I need. Tyson better not blow it, or heads will be rolling. And one of those heads will be his.

She grabbed her purse and decided to wear sunglasses and dress up like a superstar.

I hate to be seen in public, but it has to be done. She thought as she locked down her house and left.

Lazily laying in the bed, Ratchet opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

"Things have been pretty quiet around here, haven't they, Clank?" He asked his pal, who was sitting across from him.

"I personally like the quiet." Clank stated. "But yes, things have been quiet."

Ratchet sighed. "Just wish something fun would happen once in a-"

His sentence was interrupted by a loud crash downstairs. A rowdy, female voice was heard downstairs.

"Hey Ratchet!" She called, "Up and at 'em!"

Ratchet grinned widely as he heard that voice. "Its Roxa! Something exciting always happens when she's around!"

Clank looked at him strangely. "When Roxanne is around, trouble is sure to follow..." He slightly groaned.

"Hey Ratchet! You up? Don't make me fly up there and use the air horn on ya!"

He replied, "I'm up Roxa! Just give me a minute!" He slid on downstairs and met Roxanne down in the garage. Roxa's appearance was very strange, but Ratchet didn't mind it at all. She looked like a humanoid version of a griffon. She wore goggles atop her black, messy hair with one yellow streak through it. It was short and in the style of a pixie cut. She had chestnut brown fur, with wings and claws of a matching hue. She wore something similar to Ratchet's usual attire, and her lion tail swished back and forth. Her yellow beak was nice and shined.

"Hey Ratchet, I found something amazing on the plateau! If you're not busy, which I doubt you are, would you care to check it out with me?" She grinned lightly.

"Sure. Though give me a heads up if we have to bring weapons."

She shook her head. "Nonsense. You won't have to, but bring your wrench and a few loaded guns just to be on the safe side."

He nodded and loaded his guns.

"Say, Roxanne." Clank started, he was a little wary of her. "Are you sure this is safe?"

"Safe?" She laughed hysterically. "Of course not! Anything that's safe is for babies!"

"Safety is important for everyone." He reminded her.

Roxa rolled her eyes at Clank, giving a big hint that she's annoyed with him. "If we always stayed safe, then nothing fun or exciting would happen. Just ask the Galactic Rangers." She then paused. "Wait, Ratchet's one of them! You can ask him and he'd agree with me."

"She's not wrong buddy." Ratchet told him.

She grinned a bit again. "See? Nothing to worry about."

Clank sighed and face-palmed the best he could. "Oh brother, you act just like Ratchet."

Both her and and Ratchet shared a laugh as they prepared for their "Adventure."

"So where are we heading to?" He couldn't help but ask, purely out of curiosity.

She grinned wide. "My place. But what I found there remains a secret."

Why do I have a feeling something strange will happen when we go to this place? Ratchet thought. I know Roxa doesn't mean to put me in danger, but sometimes, her adventures get kind of dangerous after some time.

He looked up as she prepared her hover motorcycle. "Are we ready to go?" He asked her.

"Yeah! Let's get going!" She called out, punching a fist in the air.

Ratchet leaped up on the back seat of the cycle and they sped off to their location.

The new Doctor Nefarious climbed out of his hiding place and stared off at the ruins he landed in. His new form, a robot for that matter, made him more enraged at the lombax who defeated him.

I will be back, Ratchet... he thought. Soon enough, I will tear everything you love away from your grasp and burn it to ashes.

A maniacal laughter echoed throughout the ruins trashed-part walls of the dump, as he began planning his enemy's downfall.

Chapter 2 is coming soon! With some new twists and turns.

I do not own Ratchet, Clank, Nefarious, or other characters in the franchise, they belong to their respectful owner(s)

Roxa, and other OC's in this story belong to me.

Reviews are greatly appreciated!
