Ratchet vs. Sonic
Disclaimer: Ratchet and Clank belong to Insomniac Games, and Sonic X belongs to Sega and 4kids.
Sonic eyed Ratchet, who was unconscious, and Clank. Sonic wondered curiously, who these two were, and why they were on Earth in the first place. Sonic then grinned, crossed his arms, and relaxed as he saw Clank approach him slowly. Sonic, wanting to make sure the robot wouldn't try anything sneaky, got into a fighting position, as the robot was a few feet away. However, Clank noticed this and giggled.
Sonic narrowed his eyes and smiled. "What's so funny little guy?"
Clank looked back at Sonic and returned a smile. "Oh nothing, it's just that I find it funny that a creature such as yourself is able to run fast then the speed of light. How do you do it?"
Feeling the robot isn't working for Eggman, Sonic relaxed, and gave a thumb up to Clank. "Hey I just do little guy, and believe me I love running and I'm fastest thing alive. That's why my name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog.
Clank studied Sonic and was impressed by the creature's easygoing attitude. It reminded him of Ratchet when they first met on Veldin. Clank had many questions for Sonic, especially the Chaos Emeralds, this planet, and Doctor Eggman. Feeling Eggman was the most important one, Clank began to ask Sonic.
"Excuse sir," Clank asked Sonic." Do you know anything of a Doctor Eggman?"
Sonic's smile disappeared, and frowned deeply. Sonic thought back the times he beat the Doctor and his robots, the times the Doctor threaten his friends, and the times he almost succeeded in controlling Earth. Sonic just look down and kept his frown. "Yeah I know about him."
"You do?" Clank replied, with hope in his robotic voice.
Sonic turned his head back up and look at the starry sky. "I fought Egghead a lot of times, but if you're asking where I can find him your out of luck."
"Why?"
Sonic looked back at Clank with his arms folded, the mild breeze slapped his face, as the Hedgehog continued. "Because, he always built a new place to plot his schemes, rather if it's in the air, underwater, or in someone's garage. Why does that matter to you anyway?"
"Because we met this Dr. Eggman 3 hours ago, and he took our ship. Now we have no way to get home unless we bring back this Chaos Emerald he is so interested in." Clank replied, the words ship and Chaos Emerald caught Sonic's eye. He ran to the robot.
"Okay two things here! One, your telling me you've came from space, and two, you have a Chaos Emerald?" Sonic anxiously asked Clank. Clank paused for a minute, and remembered the red Chaos Emerald he put in his body to hide it from Dr. Eggman.
"Yes we are from space, and," Clank took out the Red Chaos Emerald from his body, "we even have the Chaos Emerald we found on the beach, but I'm confused why is everyone after these jewels, is it because of Chaos Control?" Clank asked further intrigued with the Chaos Emeralds.
Sonic eyed the red emerald, and sighed a relief to know Eggman has not gotten even one emerald. He quickly turned his attention to Clank. "Look little guy it's a good thing Dr. Eggman hasn't gotten this Emerald from you, because if did he would have use to power up his robots, and if he ever achieved Chaos Control he would take over the universe. My friends and I are the only ones who could stop Egghead from getting all the emeralds as we have three back at Chris's mansion. So it will be best if you gave that emerald to me." Sonic head out his hand near Clank hoping to get the Emerald back.
Clank thought for minute, and decided it was for the best to give it Sonic, as he had a feeling Sonic could be trusted. "Here you go sir, but we still need our ship back from Dr. Eggman." Said Clank as he gave the emerald to Sonic.
"Don't worry you could hang with us, as me and my friends are also visitors to Earth." Sonic replied as he winked at Clank. Clank smiled at his new friend. He also loved the name of the planet he stands on right now.
"Oh where are my manners Sonic, my name is…." However, before Clank could finish Ratchet regained consciousness, and to his fright he saw the creature who attacked him with the red Chaos Emerald in his hand and nearing his buddy Clank. Assuming this creature will tear Clank apart, Ratchet took out his omni-wrench ran up to Sonic."
"Hey buddy, leave my pal alone and give us that emerald!" Ratchet shouted furiously as he hit Sonic with the omni-wrench. Sonic flinched but stood his ground. Clank, horrified to what Ratchet had done, tried to stop Ratchet from hurting Sonic, but the Lombax ignored Clank and headed toward Sonic.
"You got a lot of nerve attacking us, you miserable creature!" Ratchet growled furiously. He took out his Magnum and aimed it at Sonic.
"Ratchet stop!" Clank shouted, trying to stop his friend from doing the unthinkable, but to no use.
However, Sonic just smiled at the pissed Lombax. "Hey if you want to play fine by me," Sonic, with his trademark speed, ran around Ratchet and forming a Sonic twister around the mechanic. The tornado carried Ratchet and threw him to a near by palm tree, however this time Ratchet was ready for Sonic as he stood back up and fired the magnum.
Sonic dodged the incoming plasma blasts and with burst a speed knock Ratchet into the sand. Sonic then eyed the Lombax standing up and took out another weapon; it was two plasma dual vipers. Sonic only grinned as he prepared himself for another run.
"So I see you have a new toy, Ratchet was it?" Sonic Commented.
"Taste plasma rodent!" Ratchet fired away, but like last time Sonic zoomed away.
"Where did he go?" Ratchet demanded, wanting to finish off Sonic. Clank saw Sonic behind Ratchet, but said nothing. Sonic crept behind Ratchet and said "boo." Ratchet shriek and turned around, but saw nothing as Sonic did homing attack and hit Ratchet with much greater force. Ratchet landed face first, as his entire face was covered in sand.
"Never call me a rodent buddy." Sonic said simply with a smile as he saw Ratchet got back up.
Ratchet growled as he took out his RYNO and aimed it at Sonic, this time it was for good. "Okay pal jokes over! With the RYNO, anything made of matter will turn to ashes! It will not matter how far you can run. Now give us back the Emerald!"
Clank saw this and was shocked. Clank, tired with this senseless fight, got in between Sonic and Ratchet. Ratchet saw this and was surprised. Slowly he lowered the RYNO, and looked at his best friend who was defending this creature.
"Clank what are you doing?" Ratchet asked Clank.
"Stopping you from doing the biggest mistake of your life, Sonic here is an ally, a friend who can help us get our ship back from Dr. Eggman. If you truly want to kill Sonic then go ahead, but you'll have to kill me as well, as I won't let you hurt a friend!" Clank said emotionally, Ratchet then realized Clank was right, he would have made the biggest mistake of his life if he killed Sonic. He put his RYNO away and approached Sonic.
"Hey I'm sorry back there." Ratchet said.
"Hey no biggie, stuff like that always happen, still next time don't call me rodent." Sonic said smiling.
Ratchet smiled as well, he gave out his hand.
"Friends?" Ratchet said.
Sonic looked at Ratchet's hand and slowly extended his. "Friends."
"SONIC!!!" Yelled a distant voice that caught the trio's attention.
"Who was that?" Clank asked, as he look around for the source.
Sonic looked back at the dark night as he knew who shouted his name. He quickly turned his head to the galactic duo. "Don't worry, that's my friend Tails."
"Who?" Ratchet asked as he looked up into the sky. He saw what it appears to be a jet being driven by an orange, two tailed fox, with several other people on board. Slowly they began to near the trio as the plane landed a few feet away from them.
"Looks like the gangs all here." Said Sonic.
Meanwhile near Mars…
"Lawrence how closer to civilization," Said impatient, cranky voice.
"Well sir according to my sensors, we're nearing a blue planet teaming with life, a perfect place to make your comeback." Said what appears to be a robot dressed in a butlers outfit, while playing a guitar.
"Excellent! Soon I'll have my revenge on Ratchet, Agent Clank, and Qwark soon, or my name isn't DR. NEFARIOUS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Dr. Nefarious cackled. All yes the evil robotic mastermind that caused so much trouble in the Solana galaxy was back, as the two were drifting to Earth, a 'Black Comet' quickly passed them as it also headed to the same destination, Earth.
