Let us begin a most wondrous tale of two great men, men of science, whose accomplishments and discoveries have advanced humanity beyond its wildest dreams. Let us begin the tale, of Dr. Patchwork and Mr. Clank. This tale begins, as all do, at their home, atop a floating fortress. Here, Dr.- "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
The narrator, a rather nondescript man that even the greatest memorizer would have a hard time remembering, turns around to see two men staring at him. One is wearing a red labcoat with black hair tied in a short ponytail at the back and a robotic right arm from the elbow down. The other is rather lanky and is wearing a stitched and somewhat bloodied cross between a labcoat and doctor's outfit, his short dark brown hair fluttering in the breeze. The narrator blinks for a moment before the first person asks, a little mad, "I will ask only once more, who are you and what are you doing on our land?"
The Narrator seems to beam at that and responds. "Why Mr. Clank, I am here because I am beginning the tale of your life for whoever wishes to know."
The now named Mr. Clank seems to look at the narrator for a moment, before his robotic arm seems to pull a nodachi(1) from nowhere which is then held towards the narrator's neck. "Yeah no, there will be none of that." Mr. Clank, or Ratchet(2) as he normally goes by, glares towards the narrator. The narrator looks to the other man, who could only be Dr. Patchwork, but he only shakes his head as if to say 'you brought this on yourself'. The narrator gulps before turning back to Ratchet.
"Now Ratchet, let's not do anything hasty," the narrator seems to speak with a slight panic. "I am, after all, just a manifestation of the fourth wall to act as a narrator. Attacking me, why that would be madness on the level of Deadpool!". Ratchet lowers the nodachi and the narrator begins to relax before Patchwork finally speaks up. "You've done it now."
The narrator turns to Patchwork. "What do you mean by tha- "Madness you say?". Once again the narrator is cut off by Ratchet, and upon turning to face him, sees an almost evil gleam in Ratchet's brown eyes. "Madness? No, this is not madness. THIS, IS, MY HOME!" Ratchet, after saying this, kicks the narrator off the floating fortress they stood upon in true 300 fashion, while Patchwork looks on in exasperation.
"Did you really need to do that? Really?" Patchwork turns towards Ratchet as he asks. Ratchet looks to Patchwork before replying "Of course I needed to, don't you know how I am? Besides, if what he said was true he'll be fine". Patchwork pinches the bridge of his nose before saying "Yes, unfortunately I do know you, now come on, this 'intruder' took up enough time already and you know how Alice gets if breakfast isn't ready by the time she is."
Both men shiver as if from some terrible memory before heading inside the large fortress-like complex atop the floating island to continue their day.
AN: Wow, haha finally, my first TRUE fanfic! *celebrates* Anyhow, this is not really based from any form of media but will have aspects and references to many. This is also not a self-insert though the characters do share some characteristics of their creators. This was an idea I made with a friend of mine and this is my first attempt at writing it down. This story will be updated rather sporadically, due to both me and my friend's rather slow construction of the story and my own procrastination. I am no writer, and don't know the rules of literature, especially when it comes to speaking in works, so any constructive feedback is welcome. Now, onto the marked references.
(1)A nodachi, or odachi, I can never remember the difference, is a class of katana used in either mounted combat or against mounted troops, I can't remember, and are rather unwieldy for those not trained in it. For a visual idea, think of Sephiroth's Masamune.
(2)Yes, Ratchet is his first name and yes, it's a reference to the game series Ratchet and Clank, with his full name being Mr. Ratchet N. Clank.
I cannot wait to write more on this and I hope to gain some followers throughout this story. Now this AN is getting a little long so I will just end things. Ja Ne.
