jay.w: I was already planning to do that. But this won't be a Ratchet vs. Sly story. It'll have a different enemy.
Mr.D91: Finally you reviewed! Thanks for the advice.
Messengerofdarkness: I updated…happy now?
RatchetSly: Not quite…chapter 3 will not have a Ratchet vs. Sly fight.
I'm changing Dreadzone in this story. And this whole thing will take place before Sly 3. Except for Bentley in his wheelchair.
Chapter 3
Teleported
Modoc stared angrily at the parking lot. The van was nowhere in sight. He cursed under
his breath. That sneaky raccoon had escaped him again. His radio communicator beeped and crackled. "Chief is Cooper captured?" asked a voice on radio. Modoc sighed. "Negative Ty," he responded. "I lost him inside a house." A pause. "Damnit not again!" growled Ty. "What is this, the 10th time we lost him!" "12th time actually," Modoc said sadly. "We have find him sooner or later," said Ty. "Who knows what those thieves will do with the project." "I'll put this robbery search on high alert," said Modoc. "Every police unit will be searching for that project. So will the FBI." "Alright then," said Ty. "I'll be on Runescape playing." Modoc scowled. That MMORPG game was making Ty lazier and lazier. He switched off his radio communicator and went inside his police car. He then turned on engine and drove off to search.
Meanwhile inside a familiar purple van, Bentley and Carmelita Fox were inspecting the project with Sly and Murray watching. "Hhmmm, murmured Bentley. I believe this piece of machinery is actually a teleporter." "And I also have reasons is not from Earth." "An alien teleporter!" marveled Sly. "This is getting interesting."
Bentley got out his toolbox and took out several tools. "It seems to be broken." "But I might to able to fix it." "How?" asked Carmelita. "Well…, said Bentley. First I'll need to remove the bottom of it then adjust the wires then -." CRUNCH! Murray started eating a bag of Lays potato chips. Sly grinned. Bentley looked annoyed. "Fine you three just mess around while I do all the work," he said. "This is for your own good you know," said Sly. Bentley ignored him and went to work. The others then went away to do their stuff.
Solana Galaxy, Starship Phoenix, 10am
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! A yellow furry hand smashed the alarm clock and broke it. Just like always. The beeping stopped. The short lombax sat up and yawned. His stomach grumbled. He quickly got out of his bed and put on his tuxedo with dark sunglasses. He walked into the cafeteria and a Ranger served him blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and butter and a cup of coffee. He sat down at a table and ate. The others soon walked in and got their breakfast. "Morning," said Ratchet sleepily. "Morning," said everyone except Captain Quark. "OH OH AH AH!" shrieked Scrunch. They sat down on the steel chairs while Scrunch climbed on top of the table and ate. "Where's Clank?" asked Al. "He's at Holostar Studios filming for his 1st ever movie," replied Ratchet. "A lot of bull shit if you ask me." Al frowned. "Why are you so hard on him?" asked Al. "He works hard and does a good job." "Yeah he worked really hard to defeat Drek, stop the protopet invasion in Bogon, and defeat Nefarious," Ratchet said sarcastically. "No wonder the President gave him all the credit during the Tyhrranoid war." Al fell silent. Ratchet finished eating and gave a quick peck to Sasha before he left. Sasha blushed. Ratchet went towards his ship and jumped inside of it. He started the engine and blasted off. He was heading to Holostar Studios for the once every year event of his TV show.
A few minutes later he arrived and landed his ship on a platform. He got out of it and walked along the path until he reached the entrance where a Holostar Studio guard was checking people. Ratchet walked up to the guard and showed him his Holostar Studios I.D card. The guard nodded and let Ratchet in. A movie director spotted him and walked over to him. "Ratchet!" he said eagerly. "You're here!" "The big event is tonight and we need to prepare and practice." "Let's get going." "Excited aren't you Tom?" Ratchet said. "Sure am!" said Tom. "If Endzone is a success I'll get a big raise!" Endzone was the Super Bowl of Dreadzone. They walked down a street and turned right into another street. They kept on walking until they got to the edge of the place where a shiny black limousine was waiting. They got inside and sat down on the purple valet seats. Ratchet closed the door and the limousine drove off. A few minutes later the limo arrived in the upper part of Holostar Studios. The driver got out and opened Ratchet's door. Ratchet and Tom stepped out and the driver closed it. They walked forward until they got to the Dreadzone building. They showed their I.D cards to the 2 guards at the front door and entered. The lobby was noisy and full of people of almost every race as usual. It had posters of Ratchet in his Dreadzone armor suit and his 2 robots. Polished wooden chairs and tables were scatter around the area for people to sit and chat. On the left side of the lobby was a huge casino filled with people gambling, getting money with their credits, and drinking beer and wine with their friends at a table. There were also two 5-star restaurants in the casino. One was an Italian restaurant and the other was a French restaurant. On the right side there was a room with elevators where people went to go to other places in building. Nobody recognized them since they were dressed in shiny black tuxedos with dark sunglasses. They just assumed Ratchet and Tom were VIP guests. Ratchet and Tom walked inside the elevator room. Instead of taking the elevator Tom got out a special kind of key and inserted it into a strange keyhole. The elevator beeped 3 times and a lime-green teleport pad suddenly appeared in front of the elevator door. People around them started staring at the teleport pad. Suddenly a blarg among the crowd staring at the teleport pad gasped and pointed at Ratchet. "It's Ratchet!" he cried. Every eye turned towards Ratchet and stared. Silence. A second later a mob of fan girls rushed into the elevator room and surrounded Ratchet pressing him against a wall. "OH MY GOD IT'S HIM!" squealed one of the fan girls. "CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH RATCHET?" asked another fan girl eagerly. "BACK OFF!" shouted a third. "HE'S MINE!" "NO!" shouted a fourth. "I GET HIM!" More fan girls came and pressed around him. "Stop!" yelled Ratchet. But the fan girls kept on coming. Ratchet soon found himself on the ground covered with bodies. Tom sighed and pulled Ratchet out. They quickly got on the teleport pad and teleported. Ratchet found himself inside his personal celebrity trailer. He sighed in relief. "Man…those girls are even worse than Drek," he said. "Let's get going," said Tom. "Or else we'll be late." Ratchet peeked out the door of his trailer to check for fan girls. There were none. Ratchet and Tom walked out of the trailer and headed for the Dreadzone arena which was only a block away. The stadium was gigantic with guards surrounding it. Ratchet and Tom stepped up to a guard and showed him their I.D cards. The guard took out a control in his pocket and pushed an orange button. Another lime green teleport pad appeared. Ratchet and Tom stepped onto it and were whisked away into one of the studio rooms. Inside were the crew members. "Morning Ratchet," said a Kerwan local. "Morning Zack," said Ratchet. "Hey Ratchet," said a chubby cazar. "There's a rumor going on that you'll be facing Helga in a wrestling match." Ratchet shuddered. "I hope not," he said. "Just imagine the possibilities." "Ratchet," interrupted Tom. "I've gotten you new weapons made exclusively by Dreadzone. "Follow me." Tom led Ratchet into a section of the room. It was completely empty and the walls were light green. The only thing in the room was an enormous black suitcase that was in a corner. It was protected by Inferno armor. Tom got out a lock and attached it to the key code. He typed in something and the suitcase opened. Inside of it were 6 weapons. Tom picked one up and showed it to Ratchet. "This here is a Dreadzone sniper rifle," explained Tom. "It's called the fusion rifle." Tom picked up another one. "This is the Magma Cannon." "Self explanatory." "The others are the B-6 Obliterator, Scorpion Flail, Hunter Mine Launcher, and Arbiter." Tom pointed to each one as he listed them. "Now…you're in for a tough challenge tonight." "You'll need these new weapons to survive." Ratchet got out his Gadgetron storage watch and stored the new weapons inside. "I gotta go." "There's an important business conference I need to attend." "Good luck Ratchet." And with that, he walked away.

Bentley typed busily on the keyboard he attached into the broken teleporter. He was trying to crack the computer code the teleporter had. Cracking it would allow him to program in the exact location of where the teleport pad would go. He had already fixed everything else. Sly was talking to Carmelita and Murray was playing the PS2.
Solana Galaxy, Holo-Star Studios 6:55pm
Ratchet walked over to where a Rilgar local girl polished Ratchet's helmet and armor suit. Ratchet took the helmet and armor and put it on. As always it was warm and stuffy. Ratchet thanked the girl and walked up a stairway and turned right. The show was going to begin. Fireworks suddenly exploded signaling the start of the show. The 2 announcers welcomed the fans and started explaining the events.
Dallas: "Well fans, it's time once again for Dreeeaaaaadddzzoooone!"
Dallas: "Tonight in this grand stadium, Ratchet will face his toughest challenge yet!"
Dallas: "… a 200 round fight to the finish!"
The crowd roared its approval.
Dallas: "With me is my lovely assistant Juanita!"
Dallas "(gets slapped): OWWW!"
Juanita: "He meant partner."
Dallas: "And now from Kyzil Plateau on Planet Veldin is your favorite furry lombax and Dreadzone champion…Ratchet!"
Ratchet appeared in the entrance way with his 2 command bots. The crowd screamed and cheered as he walked into the round area. Some held out signs. After Ratchet was in the area a force field was then activated around the entrance way so Ratchet wouldn't run away.
Dallas: "Annnnnd now let the slaughter…oops…I mean show…begin!"
The doors surrounding the area opened and Megacorp gladiator brutes ran out ready to fight. Ratchet got out his wrench and ran towards the brutes. He did a hyper strike on one crushing its skull and killing it. The battle had begun.
Planet Earth, Paris 9:30pm
Modoc ran across a street and then stopped. There was a huge wall blocking the path. "Ty!" Modoc said anxiously. "It's a dead end!" "Climb over it," said Ty. "Are you sure about this," Modoc asked. "Positive," Ty answered. Modoc reluctantly climbed over it. It was night time. Ty had just awoken him up from his sleep and told him he knew where Sly and his gang were. So far nothing. They had already searched for an hour and Modoc was really grumpy. Suddenly he stopped breathing. The familiar purple van was in sight. A big grin formed on his face and grew wider and wider. Ty got on top of the wall, jumped off, and landed right beside Modoc. He looked at Modoc and smirked. "What'd I tell you," he said. Modoc turned towards Ty. He was still speechless. Finally he found his voice but Ty interrupted him before he could give his thanks. "Don't mention it," said Ty. "It's just our jobs." Modoc suddenly flung himself onto Ty and hugged him. After a few seconds Modoc let go of Ty and looked back at the van. "C'mon let's go," he said. "Big promotions are coming up." Ty hesitated. "What's the matter?" asked Modoc. "Well…, said Ty. Sly and his gang have escaped many times before." "Wouldn't it be best if we get some reinforcements?" Modoc thought a moment. He did want to capture Sly badly. "Just one squad, he said. …of FBI agents." He switched on his radio communicator. BUZZZZZZZZZZ! "Roger here," said a weary voice. "Chief Modoc here," replied Modoc. "I've found the Sly's van. Modoc heard a gasp in his radio communicator. "Are you sure chief?" he asked. "Positive Roger," said Modoc. "We got that thieving raccoon right where we want him." "Send in an elite squad of FBI agents pronto." "Modoc out."
Solana Galaxy, Holo-Star Studios 9:30pm
A robot ninja slashed ferociously at Ratchet with his double bladed red light saber. Ratchet deflected them with his wrench and jumped over the last one. In midair he fired off 2 shots from his duel vipers destroying it He landed behind its metal corpse. Other robot ninjas threw out ninja stars at Ratchet. Ratchet back jumped over them and fired a mini nuke at them. BOOM! All ninjas were dead. He panted. Sweat dripped down his face inside his helmet. Only 50 more rounds to go.
Dallas: "This program is brought to you by…Galactic Burger, Have It Your Way!"
Juanita: "And by Megacorp, your one and only choice!"
Planet Earth, Paris 9:55pm, The Hideout
Bentley paused and frowned. This was turning out harder than he thought. Sly came and stared at the computer screen that Bentley was typing on. "Are you done yet?" asked Sly, sitting down on a wooden chair. "No, said Bentley. "I still need to crack the computer code so we can teleport to a safe place." "Why don't we just teleport randomly?" asked Sly. Bentley stared at Sly. "Are you crazy!" yelled Bentley. "Who knows where we'll go." Sly shrugged. "So, said Sly. "We've been to tons of places already." "We can handle a new one." "But it's going to be on alien territory!" protested Bentley. "Awwwww," Sly said mockingly. "You scared?" Before Bentley could respond a sudden explosion rocked the van.
BOOM! Sly quickly sat up and ran towards the back door of the van. Carmelita and Murray were already there. Bentley in his wheelchair was the last to arrive. A familiar voice was speaking into a megaphone. "SLY COOPER, CARMELITA FOX, BENTLEY, AND MURRAY!" shouted Modoc in a booming voice. "SURRENDER AND YOUR LIVES WILL BE SPARED!" Outside Modoc was standing near the back door of the van flanked by a 2 policemen with a smug smile on his face. A whole squad was surrounding the van armed with machine guns and grenades. They were wearing black armor suits and helmets. Inside the gang were arguing on what to do. "Let's just surrender," said Murray. "We can't!" argued Sly. "We're so close to fixing that teleport pad." "It's either us or the teleporter Sly," said Carmelita. "And I think I'll choose us." "But even if we do surrender, Modoc would sentence all of us to death!" protested Sly. An uncomfortable silence filled the air. "So…, said Carmelita. "It's either execution or getting shot to death?" Bentley and Murray nodded. "There are too many of them to fight," Bentley said sadly. Suddenly Sly got a brain wave. "Bentley, how long does it take to crack the computer code with a random chance of teleporting somewhere?" he asked. "About 3 minutes," answered Bentley. "Why do you ask?" "If we could activate the teleporter with a random signal before Modoc destroys the van then-." "We'll be saved!" Carmelita realized. Another blast shook the van. The gang sprinted to the teleport pad and Bentley sat down to type. A third blast rocked the van. "Hurry!" urged Carmelita. "We haven't got much time!" "I am!" Bentley said in frustration. A few minutes passed by and a voice was yelling. "I'M GIVING YOU GUYS ONE MORE CHANCE!" yelled Modoc. "OR ELSE YOUR TOAST!" "Hurry!" urged Murray. Bentley started typing even faster than before. After a few seconds Bentley stopped typing and the teleport pad started to glow a bit. "It's activated!" he said excitedly. BOOM! Flames started burning the roof and were spreading quickly. The gang crowded around the teleporter and was whisked away just as the van exploded.
Solana Galaxy, Holo-Star Studios 9:55pm
Ratchet dodged the Snagglebeast's fireballs and swung his scorpion flail at the monster's head. BONK! The beast staggered and then fell to the ground in defeat.
Dallas: And so ends another action-packed challenge on Dreadzone!
Juanita: "Be sure to turn on your Holo-Vid tomorrow for Monday Night Dreadzone featuring a special wrestling match with the Solana's most famous fitness trainer, Helga Helen."
Ratchet waved at the cheering crowd as he claimed his prize: The Harbinger, a Dreadzone R.Y.N.O. He panted as he began to walk away and out of the area when suddenly a wall slid open and out appeared Sly and the gang. The crowd gasped. The gang gasped. And Ratchet stood in horror as he realized that he would in the end have to fight another round.
