Author's Note: Okay, here comes Ch.2 First, however, I must thank the following people:

Miss. Trippy: Thanks for being my first reviewer. I'll try to smooth it out and not rush it. Yep, that means…LONGER CHAPTERS! (Wahoo!) P.S. What do you mean when you say "Ohmegee"? I just don't understand what that means.

Under here: Whoops. I guess I got so excited about uploading my first fic. that I didn't see that. Glares at spell and grammar check on Microsoft I think I'll fix that up later.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ratchet, Clank, Sasha, or any other characters beside my own characters (Such as the mystery cat-girl).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recap:

"Oh," Ratchet said, feeling guilty for yelling. "Sorry about that." Clank smiled, as if mentally saying to Ratchet 'It is okay'. He then added," C'mon let's head over to the Phoenix."

Clank nodded and followed Ratchet to his ship, where they blasted off into space.

-------------------------------------

Sasha was bored. Her dad had sent her to give a message to Ratchet, but Clank had said that he needed more sleep. So, she requested that she stay at the Phoenix and wait for Ratchet until he came there. Reluctantly, her dad said yes, and she had since sat down to wait. She used to be captain of the ship she was on, but her dad made her mayor of Metropolis when the previous mayor "mysteriously" disappeared.

'Whatever happened to that Mayor?' she thought. Anyway, there she was, sitting there in the bridge, bored out of her wits.

Suddenly, a ranger, after saluting, came and said," Captain, I have a message for you."

"At ease solider," Sasha replied," and I'm not Captain of this ship anymore. I'm the mayor of Metropolis."

"Eye, eye…captain." If the ranger had a mouth, he would have grinned, and if the robot could feel, Sasha would have slapped him…her…it…whatever! "Any who, Ratchet has arrived at the Phoenix!"

She perked up a little, but kept her formal posture...barely. She then said, "Good, you're dismissed." After the Ranger left, she quickly left the room and headed towards the moving platform that would take her to the main hallway, where Ratchet's ship would be parked.

'Why does this thing always seem slow,' Sasha thought as she waited on the platform. When she arrived at the main hallway, she could see on the other side that Ratchet was indeed approaching. As soon as he saw her, he switched from walking to running.

---------------------------

Ratchet had just gotten out of the ship and onto the floor of the phoenix. He couldn't count the amount of times he had set foot on this ship. Nonetheless, he was glad to be back. Then he looked straight ahead. He saw, standing there in a purple uniform with brown strips and light brown fur, Sasha. Ratchet suddenly grew excited and started running towards her, Clank struggling to keep up.

When he arrived at Sasha's location, he cried," Sasha! Boy am I glad to see you!"

"Hey hotshot," she said, grinning. At this, Sasha gave him a hug. They stood there hugging for a few moments.

"Only a hug?" Ratchet asked, grinning, "What has your dad said to you?" They both grinned.

"E-hem, I am still standing here." Clank said in a noisy voice. If they had gone bald suddenly, you could see just how much both of them were blushing. "Heheheheheh! It is okay. I know that you have each missed each other.

"Knaw, ya think?" Ratchet replied, grinning ear to ear. He then turned serious as he turned towards Sasha. "Clank said that you wanted to see me?"

"Yes," Sasha said, regaining her normal, military, posture, "My dad wanted me to tell you something important, and since he doesn't know your Holo-Phone #... he…uh, decided to send me and well…"

Ratchet grinned, letting her know he wasn't falling for her little 'charade'.

"Alright, Alright!" she confessed, "I asked him to let me go and threatened that if he didn't I'd reveal a picture to the press of him wearing swim trunks."

Ratchet stared, partly because he couldn't believe she did that, and mainly because of the thought of the President in swim trunks. "That's got to be scary," Ratchet said with a disturbed look on his face.

"You have no idea," Sasha replied. "He has me look at him in them while he's modeling them at the store in the dressing room. That way, I can give him an 'opinion'. Anyways, I have some grave news."

'Uh, Oh,' thought Ratchet. 'Her dad never wants to see me anywhere near her, that's why she wanted to come so badly!'

She continued," Dr. Nefarious is back!"

When Ratchet heard this, he suddenly wished she had said that he could never see her again…sort of…maybe…okay, okay, he'd rather see Sasha! But he was still shocked!

"I'm sure you're wondering how Nefarious survived that explosion," Sasha said. Ratchet nodded his head. "Apparently he ejected at the last minute, or had himself teleported."

"He had to have teleported," Ratchet replied. "We searched the entire planet before we left." Ratchet didn't like this one bit. If Nefarious survived, then why was it that he just now revealed himself again? Had he been plotting for revenge against Ratchet and co.? "Where is he now?" Ratchet asked.

"On a planet called Nifian 3," Sasha replied.

"Nifan… what?" Ratchet asked, a little bit confused.

"Nifan 3, a rather non-popularized planet," Sasha replied. "It is home to a species of Lombax called 'Silver striped Lombax'.

"Okay…" Ratchet said, taking this entire information in. "Are you going to be in charge of this?"

"Negative," Sasha said, sounding a little disappointed. "My father wants me nowhere near any of this."

Ratchet replied to this with an, "Oh… well I guess we otta' get going. Will you do me a favor?" Sasha nodded and leaned closer to Ratchet's mouth. Ratchet whispered something in her ear.

She smiled and said, "Sure, but I better take care of the second thing right now." So, she leaned in and kissed Ratchet briefly, then turned around and said," Be careful Ratchet, Nefarious is no doubt more powerful than ever… your going to need all the luck you can get."

Ratchet smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't get killed or anything… possibly chased and hunted, maybe a few tail burns here and there from lasers, but I won't get killed." He grinned after saying this, and, after saying goodbye, took the coordinates to the new planet. Then he and Clank turned around to head back to Ratchet's ship.

On the way there, Clank asked," Ratchet, what did you ask Sasha to do?"

"I asked her to sneak a few calls to keep me updated. I'm not going with any plans that the president or the Q-force, which I'm sure he's going to regroup, have. Especially if Qwark will lead the team." Captain Qwark, the 'greatest' superhero who ever lived, had become quite the pest after Dread Zone. This didn't help Ratchet's stress, Qwark having annoyed him with his fan club, tails of his "hero" days, and (Worst of all) about him and Sasha not seeing each other. Ratchet had to threaten to stick a RYNO missile up Qwaurk's butt to make him leave Ratchet alone. Guess what? It worked!

Anyway, Clank nodded his head and glided into the ship, as Ratchet followed suit. Then he asked, "Then why did Sasha kiss you instead?"

Ratchet laughed, and then said," Remember that she said that she would 'I better take care of the second thing right now'?"

Clank nodded, but said, "I do not understand why you would have to ask Sasha for that as a favor?" Ratchet shook his head. After more explaining about flirting and being silly, they blasted off into space.

--------------------------------

Somewhere, deep in the Solana Galaxy, on the planet Nifan 3, a robot with red eyes and blue outer armor sat and plotted. Dr. Nefarious had established a base on the planet, and was currently working on a plan to get revenge on that nuisance of a Lombax, Ratchet. He had gotten off that asteroid he was on by teleporting into a ship that had come to clean up the wreckage left behind by a space station that had exploded. On board, while he "persuaded" the crew to give him the ship, he had found out that Ratchet had been the cause of the explosion.

"The little rodent has apparently become even stronger and more skilled with his weapons," The evil robot said while talking to himself. "This time, I won't give him the chance to ruin any of my plans EVER again! I WILL ANNILATE HIM! HE SHALL NOT ESCAPE ME THIS TIME! BWUHAHAHAHAHAHAH!..."

"Ehem," came the voice of another robot. As Nefarious stood on his desk, in a dramatic (But silly) pose, Lawrence walked in holding a basket with clothing in it (Including Nefarious' "Under Garments"). "Sorry to disturb you sir, but might I ask why you are standing on your desk?" Lawrence, a robotic butler to Nefarious, asked.

"Uh…Well…you see… it's just that…" Nefarious fumbled for words to explain his actions, but none came. "OH JUST NEVER MIND!" Nefarious blurted out, giving up on finding an excuse. "Do you have any news for me?"

"Yes, I do," Lawrence replied. "Your new robotic army is completed, your business associates have arrived, and we found you a cure."

Nefarious would have, if he had any, raised an eyebrow, but instead increased the size of one of his red eyes. "What do you mean a cure?" quizzed the maniacal doctor.

"Why a cure for your craziness and stupidity," replied Lawrence.

"Oh good. Bring it… HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! Grrrrrrah…LLLAAAAAAWWWWWRRENN-bzzzzzzt-…" Yelled Nefarious, but then froze as he went into his "radio drama mode"

"Oh lance, I have something to tell you," came a female voice from Nefarious' head.

"Yes Janice?" came a male voice.

"It's just that I'm…I'm…-zip- I'm a guy," The voice of what sounded like an unattractive male said.

"WHAT THE F-SLAP-… NNNNNCCCCEEEEEE!!!!!" Lawrence had slapped Nefarious before the radio show could continue.

"My, my, that was quite naughty," commented Lawrence. "Someone should cover up vulgar language like that on a radio show.

"VULGAR!" Nefarious cried, raising his fists. "YOU WANT VULGAR?! I'LL SHOW YOU VULGAR!!! I'LL BLAST YOU INTO NEXT THURSDAY!!!!!" Nefarious yelled, infuriated at Lawrence. That robot had said one wisecrack too many. Suddenly a ball of energy appeared and he was about to obliterate Lawrence with it when a droid came in.

"Sir, your guest is here," announced a yellow test droid.

Nefarious stopped what he was doing and replied," Good, send them in." In came a shark-human hybrid. Behind him were two 10 ft. tall aliens in black cloaks. On his left arm was a yellow three-fingered arm with a blue ball in the middle of the palm. He wore a red tuxedo with cuffs on the sleeves. He, basically, looked like a rich, greedy, business tycoon.

"Normally," began Nefarious, forgetting all about Lawrence, "I wouldn't associate with a squishy, but seeing as you have had run-ins with the person I want eliminated… I will make an exception."

"I'm just glad to be alive again," said the alien. "I'm going to be very happy to get to crush the Lombax who originally destroyed me. Thanks to your cloning technology, however, I'm back…. and better than ever!" The shark-human looked up and shouted, "YOU HEAR THAT, LOMBAX, GLEEMAN VOX IS BACK, AND READY FOR THE NEXT SEASON!!!"

As he said this, Vox's mouth crept into an evil and maniacal smile. Then he and Nefarious both went, "BWUHAHAHAHAHAHAH-AHAHAHAHAHAH" As the evil conspirers laughed, both the cloaked men behind Vox couldn't help but snicker. Lawrence simply looked at them as if they were morons. The stage was set! Both Vox and Nefarious were back and wanted one thing and one thing only…

REVENGE!!!

Second Author's Note: Well, there you go, another chapter added. Hope it was better than the first one. I have a favor to ask, however. I want to change my pen name (Due to wants of writing fan-fictions in other sections.) and I was wondering if anyone had a good idea for a name or if the following one is any good: "Anime Fan18". Please leave a reply to this question in your review. On that note, please, please, PLEASE review my story, even if you just read only first chapter. I'll continue the story, but it helps me to have some opinions. Currently, upon typing this, I have a measly two reviews! So PLEASE REVIEW! (Does big puppy eyes) Thank you for your support, those who have reviewed!

A/N Edit: Okay, chapter two, edited. Not much for me to do, other than changing typos, grammar, yadda yadda…but at least it's been edited. Oh, by the way, Nifan 3 is pronounced Neff-on-free, not Neff-ann-free. Just letting you know!
