Ratchet began to wake up as his vision became blurry. He put his hands on his head and felt like a strong headache like the time he got a major headache, when he got captured by the Technomites. As his vision became cleared he saw that he's in some kind of forest, however he felt different, as put his hands to the other side of his head. He felt like his ears are gone except they got shrunk. He touch his face and felt different too and, he look behind and saw his tail is gone! He ran and saw a nearby river and he got shock on what he looks like.
"WHAT THE HECK!" Ratchet shrieked. His face is no longer a Lombax, but is now a human. He still has his regular clothing. And has a peach skin and his hair is the same color of his fur. He got green eyes and still wearing his hat.
"Why did, I turn into a human?!" asked Ratchet himself. But he quickly calmed himself, "Okay, Ratchet calm yourself down." said Ratchet to himself, as he inhale and exhale.
He change the topic in his mind and focus. He need's to know where he and Clan-Clank! How could he forget his pal and best friend in the unknown area?! He started to look around the forest to find, until something got to the corner of his eye something shining beneath the bushes. He quickly run to the bushes, as he pry the bush and found Clank who is offline, which made him worried. He quickly took him out of there and laid him to the ground, as he checks his systems and saw that he is out of power. He began to think on how to power him up, he quickly has an idea. He tap his utility belt(Ratchet and Clank 2002 version), as his Omniwrench materialize in his right hand. He activate the lightning feature, as the Omniwrench charge up electricity, until he shoots it at Clank. The process goes for minutes, until he stops, as he puts away the Omniwrech in utility weapon belt.
Ratchet waited for Clank to wake up, until he heard a computer voice.
"Reboot activated"
Clank's optics open, as he stood up and look around. He saw that he is some kind of a forest with birds flying around. He look at his right and saw a human with relief face. Clank quckly goes into a defensive pose and starts questioning him.
"Who are you? Where am I, and Where's Ratchet?" Clank demanded. But, Ratchet quickly raise his hands in defense.
"Whoa easy there pal." Ratchet reasoned Clank, "It's me Ratchet." said the Lombax(or human).
Clank was confused, but recognized his voice and clothing and green eyes. As his optics widened. He began to question the being infront of him.
"Ratchet, is that you?" Clank asked the former Lombax.
"Yeah it's me, pal." Ratchet approach, Clank, as he bent down and hug him, which Clank returned the hug. Ratchet was glad his best friend was safe, even Clank was thinking the same thing. They broke up the hug, and Clank began to question at Ratchet's transformation.
"Ratchet, how did you turn into a human?" Clank asked.
"I don't know, after we got suck by, Al's invention and ended up in this place(also waking up), I got turned into a human." Ratchet explained.
When Ratchet mentioned, Al's invention he began to think, also another part, where did they end up to? Did they ended up in an undiscovered planet... No, according to Clank's scanners and map, it showed nothing on this mysterious planet. He have a theory that, when, Al's space bridge got malfunction it sent them through time and space and ended up in this world. He take a guess that the cause of the space bridge to malfunction was neither a glitch or a bug, maybe even a virus, but he'll cross that bridge for now. Right now,another question came up... How did, Ratchet turn into a human? This gives the robot a lot of questions and multiple theories.
"Hey pal do you know how, I ended up turning into a human?" The Lombax asked his robot friend.
Clank began to think, until he finds a possible theory, "I think it's the effect from the space bridge." Clank answered.
Ratchet look at him and replied, "Wait, if, I got affected by the space bridge. Why aren't you affected?"
Ratchet was right. How is he not affected? Was it because he's a robot or he possessed the soul of a Zoni? or mayb-Wait, that's it!
"It's because, I possess a soul of a Zoni, Ratchet. The power of the Zoni protects me from the affects of the space bridge." Clank explained.
Ratchet nodded in understanding. The Zoni are energy based creatures who travel and manipulate time and also they gave, Clank time powers and upgrades. They are also the ones that taken, Clank after they defeated Tachyon. The Zoni even help Ratchet fixed his ship that time ago, even protects him and Clank from the crash, by the asteroid, fired by his use to be enemy: Dr. Nefarious.
Ratchet focused back at the task on hand on finding out where he and, Clank ended up to.
"C'mon pal, let's go find civilization, about helping us go home." said Ratchet. Clank nodded, as he hopped in Ratchet's back, transforming into his pack, as they walk through the forest.
Four hours has passed as they were still walking through the forest finding civilization. Ratchet was in deep thought. His friends might be worrying back home. Even, Clank misses his home, his friends, and his girlfriends. Ratchet miss Talwyn, Al, Sasha, even Qwark, he may be a big joke and arrogant, but he is still a good friend. He wonders? Did they began their search for them? Did, Al quickly notified Talwyn, the Galactic Rangers, and the Polaris Defense Force to find them in every galaxy? He thought time will tell for now. His thoughts was shaken, when they heard a cry for help.
"HELP! HELP!"
He is a hero, he always help everyone no matter what.
He runs to find the source of the voice. Thanks to his quick reflexes he was fast beyond a normal human. He ran for seconds to find the voice, until he found a clearing and saw two figures.
The first one was an older figure with a blue jacket trying to catch the younger one. The younger one on top of the tree, who has a orange shirt with a robotic helmet symbol in the middle, also holding a frisbee, while holding on to the trunk preventing him to fall, however he was slipping and ready to fall causing him to cry, while the older one tries to calm him down.
"David hold on!" said the one with a blue jacket. His younger brother looks like his gonna cry.
"I can't, I'm scared." cried the younger one trying to hold on like his gonna meeting to his death.
"David remember be brave like the heroes that saves us. Remember, don't be afraid."
However he can't hear him, because of his fears taking over him. That is, until he let go of the tree trunk, causing him to fall with his eyes widened, before he closed them, meeting his end with tears coming out. The older one his eyes widened and saw his brother fall, while he tried to ran fast to catch him, however his brother is falling fast and his never gonna make it. That is until, a figure ran by him, causing him to shock, before the figure jump at the branches with quick reflexes and catching the young boy with a few backflips before landing with a thud.
The young boy opened his eyes and saw that his alive, as he look up the one who save him. It was teen who is much older that his big brother. He look upon his eyes and saw it was symbolize courage and happiness in it.
Ratchet laid the young boy in the ground and gave him a smile. The young boy smiled at him before he leaps and hugs him and said, "Thank you." With tears rolling down his cheeks.
Ratchet keeps on smiling and returns the hug, while Clank secretly watching the scene behind him(despite being in, Ratchet's back, he twist his robot head in a 360 degree to see it) and smiles at the scene. The hug lasted for a moment, before they broke up, Ratchet gave him backas the child look at him.
"David!" a voice yelled behind the young boy.
"Max" the younger brother cried, as he rush and quickly hugs his brother, as the older brother returns it. He was glad that his brother safe that's all that matters.
The two brothers broke their hug, before they look at Ratchet. Max approach him and gave him a reassuring smile and said, "Thank's for saving my brother, I don't know, what I'll do without him." He offered him a bro fist, before, Ratchet accepted it.
David approach him, before an amaze look appeared on his face, "That was so cool!" said David with enthusiasm, " Like you jump fast between the branches like a ninja in seconds."
"Yeah, and also like you ran faster than me. How did you do that though?" asked Max curiously.
Ratchet thinks about and said, "It takes a lot of training." said Ratchet.
"Wow. My guess it must be an intense training." guessed David, while Max nodded in agreement.
David notices there's something behind, Ratchet's back. He runs around and saw robot looking backpack. Clank quickly froze in place with his optics open pretending to be a backpack.
"Whoa that's one cool backpack you got there. Where did you get it?" asked David.
This made Ratchet in cold silence. He's not gonna tell them that, Clank's alive and telling that the both of them came from another planet. This will cause them to panic, if he tells them that he's an alien. So he's gonna lie for now and he already figured it out that, Clank already pretends to be a backpack.
"It was made by a friend of mine,he is a great inventor." Ratchet lied.
The two of them nodded in understanding.
"Anyway, thank's for once more saving my little brothers. Is there a way for me to repay you?" Max asked.
Ratchet just wave his hands in front of him and said, "No thanks, I'm only just doing my-" He stopped when his stomach begans to grumble. His starving. Well ever since they got out of the space bridge it made him hungry.
"Do you guys happen to know any restaurants nearby?" asked Ratchet sheepishly.
"There's one in a city nearby." Max answered, "Besides we appreciate for, what you did and we're also gonna head their, after we stop playing in the forest a few minutes ago."
"Yeah. It's gonna be fun." said David.
"Follow us we know a shortcut." said Max with his young brother following, as the two of them finds the exit through the forest.
Ratchet follows them. He thought that, it's for the best to keep his identity a secret, but for now he's gonna blend in. What the duo didn't know this adventure will be probably the intense one they get.
To be continued...
Alright that's it for this chapter. Man, this was long and hard for me. Also the next part will contains a little action to it.
To you all readers out there. Can you guys give me OC villains and don't make them overpowered. Just make them a little strong.
To Guest: Yes, I will add the Groovitron, but only using it on thugs and minions. Not gonna use it on villains like Widowmaker or Reaper, nor any Mastermid, but, I will use it for Junkrat and Roadhog for future chapters.
Well that's it. Bye!
