As Ratchet stepped out of the hospital, he looked around asking, "What will I do in this past that I don't know anything about?"

He walked around the city and then a group of Lombaxes appeared pushing Ratchet around. Ratchet felt that and asked, "What are you guys doing?"

They answered, "Bullying a weakling of course. You were found unconscious."

As one of them went to swing at Ratchet, Ratchet ducked and then punched one of their legs and he fell on to one knee.

Dr. Bryant appeared outside of the hospital and then looked around saying, "Ratchet, you forgot something."

He continued to look around, but couldn't find him and then sighed and ran back into the hospital.

As Ratchet was fighting the group of Lombaxes, Ratchet was getting pretty beat up. But he continued to fight. Ratchet said to himself, "I am missing my OmniWrench. And that would have made this much easier. But I need to get ready for this new life."

Ratchet punched the Lombax behind him and then the one in front of him kicked Ratchet's head. Ratchet was about to get lifted off of the ground, but he put his hand on the ground and lifted himself up and spun around in circles with his legs out kicking the 5 of them. While that was happening, a 6th Lombax appeared attacking the 5 of them with a staff created by herself and then one of the five Lombaxes said, "It's Vanessa Richards. Run."

While everyone was running, Vanessa sighed and then said, "They never seem to change. They attack the weak, yet when a weak person appears to know how to fight, they run. So, how are you doing?"

Ratchet pushed himself up and landed on his feet breathing heavily answered, "One hell of a way to start a journey in the past."

Vanessa said, "As I thought, you were from the future. That would explain that weird looking wrench that you had."

Ratchet said, "Then I did bring it with me. I wonder where it is."

Vanessa said, "You probably left it in the hospital. But I wouldn't go back to that hospital, if I were you."

Ratchet asked, "Why is that?"

Vanessa answered, "They are all criminals. You are lucky to still be alive. The people that brought you there were also criminals. I'm a member of the Lombax Crime Unit. We fight criminals to keep our world a safe place. And we've been trying to get rid of that hospital for years, but nothing ever comes up when we investigate. If you need a new weapon, then follow me. I'll help you out. Oh yeah, I'm Vanessa Richards."

Ratchet said, "I'm Ratchet."

Vanessa said, "I see. Just one name."

Ratchet said, "Yes. I wasn't raised on Fastoon. I never even met my parents. They sent me to the Polaris Galaxy. To live."

Vanessa said, "So, they were killed."

Ratchet said, "Yes. By a Cragmite."

Vanessa sighed and then said, "I see. Cragmites, huh? They aren't a friendly race."

Ratchet said, "I see."

Vanessa took him to a blacksmith that she knows and then Vanessa asked, "What are you going to do now that you are here in the past?"

Ratchet answered, "I don't know. I need to figure that out myself."

Vanessa said, "If that's the case, then I think an adventure would be nice. Head to other worlds within the universe. You got nothing but time. There isn't a way back to your timeline. So, live your life to the fullest."

Ratchet asked, "How will I do that? I don't have a ship to get anywhere."

Vanessa said, "I know. That's why I'll help you get one. I'm also helping you get a weapon. So, don't worry about a thing."

Ratchet heard that and then looked at her and then Vanessa said, "Just follow me kid."

Ratchet said, "Alright."

5 minutes later, they appeared in front of a blacksmith shop and then Vanessa opened the door and they walked in. As soon as they entered the shop, the blacksmith asked, "How can I help you?"

Vanessa answered, "Make my new friend a weapon, Nelson."

The blacksmith, Nelson Nowak looked up and then saw Vanessa standing there with a little Lombax and then asked, "Who is your friend?"

Vanessa answered, "Ratchet."

Nelson looked at him and then said, "I see. You look pretty bad. Something happen."

Vanessa answered, "Yes. He was attacked by the Anti-Weak Group. The people that hate the weak."

Nelson said, "Lucky you."

Vanessa said, "He held his own without a weapon. But out there in the universe, he'll need a weapon to fight the tougher enemies."

Nelson said, "Yes he would. What type of weapon do you want kid?"

Ratchet was about to answer his question, but Vanessa placed a blueprint down in front of him answering, "This will do just fine."

Ratchet heard that and then Vanessa said, "I believe that you'll like it, Ratchet. I had it made knowing that you'd forget your wrench."

Ratchet said, "Ask me before you decide something for me."

Vanessa said, "Sorry. It's a bad habit."

Nelson said, "Yes it is. Sorry about that, kid. Trust me, she knows what is best for everyone. She's been helping out kids your age for the past 20 years. She's known as the Weakest Undefeated. She looks weak, but can beat the living crap of you with ease."

Ratchet said, "OK."

Nelson looked at the blueprint and then said, "This is going to take me awhile. The components on this, I don't currently have. So about 4 weeks tops."

Vanessa said, "Alright. We'll be back in 4 weeks."

Ratchet said, "We will?"

Vanessa answered, "Of course we will. You need a weapon, remember?"

Ratchet answered, "Yes. I remember."

Vanessa said, "We need to go meet another friend. And he'll make a ship for you."

Ratchet heard that and then said, "Alright. Let's go meet him."

They took off and then Nelson started working on ordering the parts that he needs to make his weapon. Vanessa said, "This friend of mine that we're about to go to is the best mechanic on the planet. He's also good at building ships from scratch."

Ratchet said, "I see. How long will it take him to make the ship?"

Vanessa answered, "What I have planned for you is 4 weeks. But if it was a normal ship, it would be 2 weeks. He's amazing. Trust me, this guy is the best at what he does. If we were talking about the Robonoids, then we'd be talking about just 3 days and a ship will be made. But Robonoids don't live here on Fastoon."

Ratchet said, "I see. This timeline is crazy."

Vanessa laughed and then said, "Yes it is."

20 minutes later, they appeared in front of the garage and then walked into it. The mechanic friend looked at her and said, "Vanessa, long time no see. Need help with something?"

Vanessa took out a blueprint answering, "Yes. I need you to make this for my friend Ratchet here, Roger."

The mechanic, Roger Angel grabbed the blueprint and then said, "Hm, this ship is going to be a piece of cake to make. 4 weeks tops."

Vanessa said, "See what I told you."

Ratchet said, "Your friends are amazing."

Vanessa said, "Well, ships in the future are made in like a day or so. The future is amazing."

Roger said, "You are a mechanic as well, right friend?"

Ratchet answered, "Yes I am."

Roger smiled and said, "Then I'll make it happen. And if you need any work on it, then come to me. I'm your best bet."

Ratchet said, "Understood."

Vanessa said, "4 weeks for a new weapon and 4 weeks for a new ship. Well, let's get going."

Ratchet said, "Agreed."

They took off and Roger started working on making the ship.
