Sweet mother of mercy, it's been nearly a year since I gave this story an update! I'm so sorry about the huge delay, folks, I got carried away writing another series, the Epilogue series, and as of recently another story named True Heroes, which focuses on the PS4 game/movie has been added to the list of in-progress stories as well.

Anyhow, after about a year, let me finally reply to the eight(?!) reviews this story has so far:

Zenith88: "Nice story so far, even if i never played Skyrim. But nevertheless i follow that story, because it seems interesting."
Thank you! Trust me when I say that I've got a lot, and I mean a lot, of epic stuff planned for this story.

Max Chronicle: "BEEPING SHIZ!
THIS IS EPIC!
I love how you quoted the game (like 99.9%) but that .1, I can overlook.
Anyway, Ratchet's our warrior, Talwyn's our ranger, and lastly...Clank is our mage and DRAGONBORN (Well in this case it's ZONIBORN)
Expect me to come back to each and every chapter.
You should also do the expansions Dawnguard and Dragonborn...if you want, I have a great idea for who Mirrak would be (Wink Wink)
Plus you're giving us three OC's to join in...YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE I'll USE THAT!
Hmmmmmm...what OC characters however
Max out"
Thanks! Also, that's immediately one of the reasons why this chapter was delayed by such an insane amount of time, I had to start a new Skyrim game and record it for the quotes, and I had gotten a bit tired of Skyrim, but I'm back now, and I'm ready to get this story going at last! Also, I've already added Nathan in this story, you'll find him up ahead. As for Dawnguard and Dragonborn, I don't yet own the DLC, but with the Skyrim: Special Edition coming up, you bet I'm going to buy the official DLC as Bethesda Softworks, amazing as they are, have officially stated that Steam users who own either the Legendary Edition or Skyrim and the DLC Hearthfire, Dawnguard and Dragonborn will get a free upgrade to the Special Edition when it releases, and you bet I'm going to use that offer, especially now that good ol' Gabe Newell is putting a discount on Skyrim and it's DLC.

MissKittyBear: "ERRRRMAAAHHHHGGGGEEEEEERR! SKYRIM CROSSOVER! I love it (insert MI Gusta meme face here)

I can't wait for the next chapter already! (This reminds me a little of Sky rim Gamer poop... Jarl Balgruf! Jarl ballin', ballin', ballin', ba-ballin' swag) I love that series xD Will I be able to submit an OC through here or through PM'S if you haven't already gotten three? I have one (that isn't Embera. I'm remodeling her a little bit before I try another R-C story)"
Thanks! And I'm so terribly sorry that you had to wait for such a long time. Also, you can send me your OC in any way you want, no matter if it's here or on DeviantArt.

vengarl22: "Sweet this was awesome and expect a pm with an oc"
Thanks, and alright then!

Batwizard15: "I like it! Dovahkin! But how did Ratchet and Clank and Talwyn get to the world of Skyrim in the first place? Is that relevant to the story? Anyway, I hope you write more soon. My OC is Lordan a high-elf swordmage (he would be half-elf is such a race existed in the game). Basically, he is good at one handed with a sword in his right hand, a spell (preferably fireball) in his left, good at enchanting, sneak, and light armor. He usually seems like the grim lone traveling hero type, and helps everyone he can, but in battle, he gets a bit maniacal and as he swings his mighty fire sword at foes, you can see his really pyromaniac side. Also, he gets really excited and nerd like when talking about magic (especially dragons.)
Keep up the writing!"
Thank you! And trust me when I say that I'd spoil something realy big if I'd answer those questions. Also, I'm so sorry for this delay, but your OC is accepted and will definitely appear in the story at some point.

saviour of worlds: "Oh! this sounds like a good new story, I LIKE IT! Clank the wizard has come to help out! The smart little robot already knows what he's doing!

So.. we can send new OC's in? I guess that it has to fit in the time line and theme. So no future stuff...

I think I know something!

Name: zenrad (may change. I'm not so good at names)
Fighting style: Defensive
Weapon style: magic
Race: breton
spells:
Frost harpoon: A much stronger version of the ice spike (or how it is called) slows enemies deals an average amount of damage.

Armageddon: A huge meteorite storm comes down on his enemies! Dealing MASSIVE damage. But it can only used outside. And costs A LOT of mana.

Rocket: Shoots a fast fire projectile that deals damage in an area. Has a chance to set the victim on fire

(These were only the spells created by himslef.)

secondary weapon: a katana-like sword with a frost enchantment to slow down the enemy.

Job: alchemist teacher at the college of winterhold

Interests: daedric artefacts, alchemy, dragons.

Likes: everyone / everything that has anything to do with dragons or daedric stuff, people that are interested in magic or alchemy. Or people that are just nice to him :)

He also invents various new types of potions.

I hope that this character fits in the story. If he doesn't. Contact me. :]
Until the next chapter!

P.S: I think clank looks quite cute with that "cape"
P.P.S: If you need more info about my OC, just tell me."
That OC sounds really, really good! And yes, I wanted to give Clank some buff as well considering both Ratchet and Talwyn get some equipment, but I didn't think a hood would fit him, nor that robbing a dead man's clothing would suit his character, therefore I only let them take the hood and let Ratchet turn it into something that fits Clank better.

Jadzia Ezri Dax: "Intriguing story so far! I really enjoyed this part and I think I'll enjoy the rest of the story, too. Anyway, here is my OC:
Name: Lela Toran
Species: Lombax
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Hair: Silver colour, straight, pulled back into a ponytail
Fur: goldish yellow with one large neon yellow stripe on each ear and two on both arms
Armour: Alpha Combat suit, without helmet( from Ratchet and Clank 3)
Outstanding characteristics: unlike most female lombaxes, has tail
Height: 5 foot 4 inch
Personality: humorous, nerdy, book lover, animal lover
Likes: novels, technology, animals, astronomy, and exobiology
Dislikes: villains, overdoing perfume, hair spray
I forgot to add the following things to my OC:
Weapon: the Staff of History - allows Lela to magically travel through time and erase enemies from history, but can only be used when Ella's staff is fully charged
History: Lela was sent to Skyrim 13 years ago and taken in by an unknown old villager who was willing to care for her. The only things that Lela had at the time was her armour and staff. She later left whrn she was twelve in search of a legendary tablet that had the ability to send a person where ever they wanted to go, in hopes of returning to Fastoon.
I don't know what Skyrim is, but I hope Lela will be able to fit into the story. If not, let me know, and I can submit an OC that will fit in better."
The OC seems good, although futuristic R&C equipment fiercely clashes with Skyrim's medieval setting. Still, that does mean that she won't have to be afraid of perfume and hair spray! Her staff though, I can't add it's time travel ability for the single reason that only the Elder Scrolls, the most powerful items in existence, have the power to travel through time, and it'd be pretty weird for an OC to have a weapon stronger than an Elder Scroll. Also, I'm going to have to spoil a big part of the story if I explain why, but she can't know about the origins of the Lombax species. If you could provide an alternate weapon and armor, then I can add her. I recommend checking out the Skyrim wiki, it has images of various armour types. Keep in mind though that the more advanced the armour you choose, the later I can add her. This is because Skyrim has some handy codes that prevent players from acquiring super-strong equipment at the start of the game, they have to reach a certain level to have a chance to find certain loot. For example, Daedric Gear is impossible to find initially.

Now there is only one thing left to say for me: enjoy!

"Are we there yet?"

"Oh, c'mon, Ratchet! Don't be such a baby" Talwyn responded.

"I'm not being immature, I'm just tired!"

"Tired of what?"

"Trying to survive a dragon attack and an execution?"

"...Fair point. I, too, could use some sleep after all of this. Still, we need to get to Riverwood."

"Yeah... yeah..."

Ratchet shook his head. They had been walking down a stone path towards Riverwood for a good hour now, and Ratchet was getting both tired and bored. But then something caught his attention.

"Hey, what are those?"

Ratchet pointed at something to their left, downhill. Talwyn looked to where Ratchet was pointing. Ratchet was pointing at a stone platform of some sorts, with three giant stones on it. The stones and the ground seemed to have strange carvings on them. In the distance, a man wearing black robes was walking towards it. "Let's go check it out."

"No, we need to get to Riverwood, Ratchet. If the path passes by it though, I see no harm in taking a look." Clank said.

They walked on. The path suddenly took a U-turn, leading downhill and straight at the three weird stones. The man Ratchet saw earlier had reached the stones. He was standing in front of them, lost in thought.

As they walked closer, Clank, who had been walking next to Ratchet, spoke up. "I can feel a strange energy coming from those three big stones up ahead. I am not sure what it is, but it sure is powerful. Ratchet, miss Apogee, be careful.

"Clank, call me Talwyn, and we'll be careful, thanks for the heads up."

When they walked up the small stone staircase and stepped onto the platform, the man turned around. "Hey, what are these things?" Ratchet asked.

The man looked confused. "You don't know? These are standing stones, you'll find them scattered all across Skyrim. You can activate one and receive it's blessing, but only one stone can be active at a time."

The man pressed his hand against one of the stones. The stone had a man carved into it with a long beard and robes. Immediately a blue light appeared in a hole in the stone, and a pillar of light shot up at the sky. The man took a deep breath. "The mage stone. It helps you master the arcane arts faster."

He pointed at a stone showing a hooded man with a knive. "That's the thief stone, it'll help you learn to stay undetected and helps you master things like lockpicking and pickpocketing, and it'll help you learn to master the usage of light armour. And lastly, the stone over there, with the carving of an armored man on it, is the warrior stone, which will help you learn combat skills, such as fighting with one-handed or two-handed weapons, arching, or using your shield and heavy armour."

Clank tilted his head. "Arcane arts?"

"You haven't heard of the arcane arts? That's nearly impossible. Anyhow, the arcane arts, it's basically the usage of magic and spell-casting."

"So that explains what you did in Helgen." Ratchet said. "That golden light..."

"Sounds like a Restoration spell." the man said.

"What kinds of magic are there?" Clank asked.

"You've got Alteration, which focuses on changing the world around you, hence the name, 'alter'. Then there's Illusion, which focuses on playing the minds of your opponents, with spells such as Fury. Next, there's Conjuration, which focuses on creating or summoning objects or entities. The most commonly used type of magic is Destruction, which focuses on offense and dealing damage, but the type of magic you seem to have used was Restoration, which focuses on healing injuries and diseases, although there are also poison spells and spells that repel the undead listed under Restoration."

"Can... can you teach me to use magic?" Clank asked. The man blinked. "I cannot 'teach' you to use magic, it's an ability. Everyone can use magical spells by using the energy they possess, although only a few use this power within them. The thing is, can you control your power? Using magic is basically taking this power and using it. Also, why do you want me to teach you? You seem to be able to use magic just fine if you've casted a Restoration spell."

"Yes, but... I do not know how I did that."

The man sighed. "There's your problem, I see."

"Wait." Ratchet said. "Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

The man frowned. "Don't you know who I am?"

"Nope."

"That's strange, almost all of Tamriel knows me, since I'm the only person who has ever been able to cast Telekinesis on themselves. You guys... I have no idea where you guys are from, it is as if you're not from this world. Anyhow, my name's Nathaniel."

"Pleased to meet you, Nathaniel. I am Clank, and these are my friends, Ratchet and Talwyn." Clank said.

Nathaniel nodded. "Pleased to meet you three too. Say... what race are you guys?"

"Ratchet is a Lombax, and Talwyn is a Markazian." Clank said. "And I... I do not know."

"Lombax and Markazian, never heard of those races." Nathan said with a frown. "Well, doesn't matter. Clank, tell me, when did you use the Restoration spell?"

"When I saw someone dying."

"Tell me, what did you think when you saw the person dying? What did you feel?"

"I felt sad, I wanted to help him so badly. And then I felt some sort of strange energy."

"You activated your magical powers because you knew what you wanted to do with it."

"Yes, but, I do not know the spell I used."

"Apparently you do, perhaps in your subconscious, but it's there. And I can pull it out of the back of your head."

"What do you mean?"

Nathan shook his head. "The ability to cast Telekinesis on myself came with a price. I had to... 'fuse' with the energy used to cast spells. As a result, I'm half a person, half pure magic, although that magical half is buried deep inside of me. If I allow it to take control, my magic becomes incredibly powerful, but I'm afraid to use it, because I fear there's no way back. Anyhow, this transformation did allow me to learn new things, I was able to read magical books that would fry the minds of others, and slowly I gained the ability to interact with the minds of others, but it only works once, afterwards the person's magical powers will form a barrier, whether they're aware of it or not, a barrier that I cannot pass. So I can only recover one memory."

Clank frowned. He could learn something of his past... or he could learn to save people's lives.

"I choose to remember the Restoration spell."

Nathan nodded. "Alright then."

Nathan pressed his hands against Clank's head and focused, and suddenly, Clank felt a surge of energy within him.

"Alright. Done." Nathan said.

"So... how do I cast a spell?"

"First, focus on what you want to cast, and that you want to use magic."

Clank did as he was told, and immediately the energy grew more powerful.

"Do you feel your energy, your 'Magicka'?"

"Yes." Clank said.

"Now, focus on that energy. Bend it to your will, and force it to do what you want."

Clank focused, and two orbs of golden energy formed in his hands. "It's working! Well done, Clank!" Talwyn said, impressed.

The golden energy disappeared. "What happened?" Ratchet asked.

Clank smiled. "I do not have to use magic right now, so why waste Magicka?"

"Smart, Clank. Indeed, you only have a limited supply of Magicka. The more poweful the spell, the more Magicka it uses. You slowly regain Magicka as long as you don't use magic, but if you're out of Magicka, you will find yourself unable to cast spells, and you will feel nauseous. There is a spell that converts your life energy into Magicka, although using it too often without letting your life energy restore, and you will die. So be careful with your magic. Also, I think you three should pick a standing stone, they really help with growing stronger, and something tells me you could use it."

Ratchet chose the warrior stone, Talwyn activated the thief stone and Clank chose the mage stone.

"Alright, now let's head on to Riverwood." Ratchet said. Talwyn nodded. "True, we should keep moving."

Clank walked over to Ratchet. "Goodbye, Nathaniel, and thank you for your help."

"Hang on a sec." Nathan said. "Should I come with you? I can teach you a few more spells along the way."

While on the way to Riverwood, Nathan taught Clank the basics of Destruction magic, and once they arrived at said town, Clank had finally gotten the hang of the spell 'Flames'.

"Alright, that's enough for now." Nathan said. "I'm going to have to go now. Something tells me we'll meet again though."

"Don't you want to travel further together?" Ratchet asked.

"I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline that offer. I was supposed to be at Whiterun by now. But, like I said, I'm certain we'll meet again."

Nathaniel turned to Clank. "Good luck with learning magic. Perhaps, if you get past Whiterun, you can speak to the court wizard, Farengar, he may be able to teach you some more spells."

After speaking those words, two orbs of purple energy formed in Nathaniel's hands, and he suddenly flew away, shooting off into the distance. "Did... did that just happen?" Ratchet said in disbelief.

After walking along the river for a while, the three friends saw a village up ahead. Riverwood was, as the name suggested, built near the river. Wooden bridges lead to the other side of the river while watermills used the flow of the water to power up various machinery, for example, the sawmill.

Two sturdy, stone walls on either side of the village provided some basic defense, but the wall was incomplete and had no gate, therefore more functioning as a vantage point rather than true defense.

After walking through the gate, Talwyn soon noticed the blacksmith.

Sitting by the forge and hammering on a piece of hot steel, Alvor was clearly hard at work. "Erm... sir?" Ratchet began. Alvor lay down his hammer and turned around. "Yes?"

"We, erm, your nephew Hadvar told us to speak with you."

"Hadvar? How do you know him?"

"We escaped from Helgen together while it was being attacked by a dragon." Clank explained.

"A dragon? Are you certain? Though... it would explain what I saw earlier, flying over Riverwood, heading west."

Alvor's eyes widened. "You should speak to the Jarl of Whiterun! If Riverwood would be attacked by a dragon... Riverwood is defenseless!"

"I understand." Clank replied. "We will speak to the Jarl of Whiterun and ask him to assist Riverwood."

"Thank you, Riverwood is in your debt. As a way of saying thanks, the least I can do is offer some of my best gear."

And that's why Ratchet, Clank and Talwyn left Riverwood for Whiterun with better gear, Ratchet wearing iron armor and having a better sword, Talwyn having an Elven bow and iron arrows as well as Elven armor gauntlets that Alvor still had lying around. Clank only had a dagger in case of emergency, he preferred to rely on his intellect and use magic instead.

After walking across a stone bridge, the trio walked down a path that lead them into a huge valley in between the mountains. They could see a vast city up ahead, surrounded by a tall and strong stone wall. Around the city were various farms, using the nearby river to their advantage. However, one farm in particular caught their interest. Battling a tall humanoid creature was a small group of people. The three friends immediately came to their aid, Clank using healing magic to support everyone while Ratchet charged into the fray while unsheathing his sword. While Talwyn forced the giant on the defense with arrows aimed at the creature's face, Ratchet pummeled the creature's legs with blow after blow.

Eventually the giant tumbled over and the group of people that had been battling it finished it off. One of them, a woman with green war paint on her face in the shape of claw marks and wearing ancient Nord armor approached them. She thanked them for their assistance as well as complimenting them on their fighting style. That is, she complimented Ratchet and Talwyn.

"Hey, what about Clank?" Ratchet asked, pointing at the robot. "He just stood by and watched." the woman angrily replied.

"No he didn't." Talwyn defended. "Clank was healing us all during the whole battle."

The woman stayed silent for a moment. "Perhaps. Point is, we could use fighters like you. Come to Jorrvaskr and join the Companions if you have what it takes."

The group of people then left, heading to Whiterun. The three friends soon followed after them, that is, until Clank collapsed. Ratchet and Talwyn turned around immediately upon hearing the 'clang!' that Clank made when he fell. Ratchet helped him get back up. "Magic is really taking it's toll on you, huh?"

"Well, yes." Clank replied.

Ratchet nodded. He grabbed Clank and let the robot sit on his shoulders. "Here, I'll carry you. Just don't fall off."

"I will not." Clank thankfully replied.

Soon the trio had reached the gate of Whiterun, only to find it closed with two guards standing in front of it. One of them walked over to the three friends. "Halt! City's closed with the dragons about, official business only."

"Excuse me, sir, but we have important information for the Jarl of Whiterun regarding the dragon attacks, having witnessed it first-hand. In addition, we are here on behalf of Riverwood to ask for the Jarl's aid in defending Riverwood against a potential dragon attack." Clank spoke up.

The guard seemed a bit surprised. "Riverwood's in danger too? You'd better go on in. You'll find the Jarl in Dragonsreach, at the top of the hill."

The guard they had been speaking to turned around and signaled for his colleague to open the gate. "Thank you, Sir." Clank said to the guard as they walked into the city.

Whiterun was one of the larger city's in Skyrim, that was certain. The trio walked down the road until they reached a square. "Excuse me, madam?" Talwyn asked to a woman selling fruits. "Could you tell us where we can find Dragonsreach?"

"Certainly." She replied. "Just go up these stairs, cross the square and head up the stairs, can't miss it."

"Thanks." Talwyn said as she gave the woman five Septims. "Here, for your help."

The woman gave her a thankful smile. The three friends followed her instructions, and they turned out to be spot-on, within a minute they were crossing the bridge across the small moat and entering the huge, though also somewhat majestic castle of Dragonsreach.

This may not be one of the longest chapters, but I wanted to post this ASAP because, let's face it, this story had been on hold for far too long. I hope you all trust me when I say that such long delays will not happen again, and I hope to see everyone in the next chapter.
