Chapter 1
"Ratchet, be quiet. Nefarious could be anywhere!" The green-eyed robot looked worried and tiptoed behind his best friend. "Yeah yeah Clank. We'll be fine. We'll just find the information and then be on our way. No big deal."
Clank sighed. This was hardly ever the case. Ratchet was bound to get them both into trouble. He was too reckless.
"Hey Clank, I found the database computer! Come help!" Clank slowly walked over to the Lombax. "And hurry up!"
"Sorry. I just do not want to fight Nefarious today. Don't worry about him, just help me hack his computer." Clank sighed and started work on the computer.
They both knew how valuable this data was, and Ratchet realized that they couldnt afford to alert Nefarious.
"Maybe you're right. I'm sorry. I'll be quieter."
"Forget that Ratchet. I have the data. We need to get out of here, now!"
Alarms sounded before the two could do anything.
"Oh no, Clank! RUN!" He grabbed the small robot and dashed towards the nearest exit only to find that Nefarious's robots had blocked his path.
"This just isn't my day..." He turned and ran the opposite way. "
"Clank! Find us an escape route!" "Hmm. It seems if we get through that vent over there, we should be able to escape without the guards following."
"Sounds good to me!" The Lombax pulled out one of his bombs and threw it at the vent opening. He darted through and soon the two were safe.
"Heh, that was fun, wasnt it Clank?"
"Oh yeah, I'd just love to do it again."
Later that night, the two friends returned to one of their many homes. They visited too many places to just settle down in one spot, so they had several places they could stay in the many galaxies they visited. Now they were trying to figure out Nefariouss files.
"Hmm..." Clank stared at the data as he tried to understand it.
"What's it say pal?" Ratchet looked over his friends shoulder. The words on the screen were all in a robotic language, one Ratchet would never be able to understand. Only a robots scanners could figure it out.
"Well, some of the data has been deleted, but I was able to get parts of it. Most of this is about his old plans that never worked, but there is something rather intriguing in the data as well."
"What is it?"
Clank looked his friend in the eye.
"You have a clone."
