Author's Notes: These particular haiku came to mind when going back and reviewing the events of the first Ratchet & Clank game. I wanted to create a "story" haiku, that when read has the effect of a short story, sometimes told in first- or third-person. The titles above each are merely there to either connect (or separate) each idea or event. You have the choice of reading these as one complete story, ignoring the subtitles, or with them as separate tales. Reviews, compliments, or constructive criticism are appreciated. Enjoy!

Ratchet & Clank
A Hero's Tale
Written by Black Rosettes

Au Natural

In well-known Veldin,
Ratchet, born a mechanic:
Becomes its savior.

Ignition System

From space to Veldin,
There, a robot had fallen,
He called himself Clank.

Omniwrench, With Love

Together, they beat
Enemies and creepy beasts
Throughout Solona.

No More Glory

Captain Qwark was next,
The galaxy's number one,
Later turned zero.

Executive Ruler

But evil still thrived,
There was supreme chairman Drek:
Ambitious evil.

One-Hit Wonder

With devastator,
Drek's scheme was foiled for good,
All eyes smiled that day.

A New Adventure Awaits

Beckoned once again,
Ratchet was teleported--
Discovered Bogon.
