I'm back! I know you missed me! Anyway this is part three and just so I don't have to get so descriptive Ratchet is wearing the green armor he is on the cover of Up Your Arsenal and Jak is wearing the same thing he was at the end of Jak 3 and on it's cover. Enjoy.

Ratchet pulled his face out of the bucket of water that Jak had brought from the city. It was a refreshing way to start the day after the exciting night they had. It was early and the sun had barely risen. Jak and Daxter had left inside the city moments earlier. Jak wanted to let Ashlin and Sig know about Ratchet.

"Your turn" he said shaking his dry and putting back on his helmet.

"I think I can wait" Clank said looking at the water that disgusted by the fact that Ratchet had used the entire bucket of water to wake himself up.

"Suit yourself," Ratchet walked around. He looked at the buggies "You think these guys will let us drive one these before we leave?"

Before Clank could answer his question the doors to the city opened to reveal Jak with Daxter by his side carrying a bundle in his arms. Daxter threw it at Ratchet who caught it and unbundled it to revealing a cloak for him and Clank.

"So the trigger happy wastelands won't blast you ass," Daxter said to the questioning look on Ratchet's face. "Trust us they shoot first and ask questions…never."

"When you're ready we can go and talk to Sig" Jak said.

Ratchet and Clank put on the cloaks and looked at each other. They would be a strange pair to look at. They followed Jak and Dax into the city. The city was big with some of the buildings built into the cliffs. there were lizard like creatures that had saddles and gruff looking people carrying big guns, in fact a lot of people carried guns. Ratchet didn't know what amazed him more the fact that they so many carried weapons or that so many were up so early. the people gave Clank and Ratchet strange looks nevertheless.

Jak and Dax led them to an elevator under a rock passageway. The elevator, as unsteady as it looked, held as they went up. It stopped on a floor filled with waterfalls, stepping stones, waterwheels and more.

"Working hard, huh?" Jak said. Sig was busy but he always mad time for Jak and Daxter anytime they stopped by. .Sig had taken control of the city of Spargus and was using Jak to help the ties with Haven City improve.

"Jak? Daxter?" Sig looked pass the scout who was in from of him.

"The only ones" Dax said taking a bow. Sig noticed the shrouded Ratchet and Clank and knew something was up. He dismissed the scout and waited until he was sure they could speak in peace.

"So who are you new friends, some precursor monks come to warn us of an unspeakable evil?"

"Actually it's an alien and a robot" Dax stated while putting him feet in the water, careful not to get his pants wet.

Sig looked at him and Jak uncertainly wondering if the hot desert sun had finally fired their brains. "Nice joke, but seriously who are these two?"

"Ratchet and Clank," Ratchet said taking off his hood. He walked up to Sig and shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you," Clank said taking off his hood.

"We want to know if you want to want to go to Haven City with us. We going to have meeting with Ashlin and Torn and you're the best person to represent the wastelanders."

Sig looked at them and laughed "I'll come along with you two cherries." He went to the throne and picked up his peacemaker; he never went anywhere with out it.

"Great, I knew we cold count on you Sig."

Ratchet and Clank pulled their hoods back up before leaving down the elevator with Jak, Dax, and Sig. They walked through the city having to stop now and then for the some people who had some business with Sig but were able to get through without trouble. When they got to the garage Ratchet jumped in his ship with Clank and then followed Jak, Dax (who had jumped on Jak's shoulder now) and Sig to the transporter. The ship took off closing the hatch door. Before it did, Jak could see Ratchet and Clank following in their ship.

Jak jumped out of the transporter, which had carried him to the harbor, and looked around at Haven City. After Errol's defeat the metalheads and KG deathbots had become disorganized. The metalheads had started to retreat back to their old territories after suffering loses. The deathbots still were able to still fight but without the help of the metalheads they were nearly wiped out with only a few causing trouble every once and a while. Most of the things destroyed or taken over were rebuilt… except the palace.

Jak waited on Ratchet who had parked his ship over the water. Once on land they walked over the bridge to go to the Naughty Ottsel. The Naughty Ottsel was where they were most likely to find Ashlin and the rest of the crew.

Ratchet observed the city; it was pretty high tech considering that they haven't had contact from any other alien race. He lagged behind looking at the zoomers racing above him. They turned left once they walked off the bridge. He lagged behind more looking at the citizens of Haven city some of which he could tell were from Spargus. He sped up catching up with the rest of the group.

They stopped at a bar that had a giant Daxter-like creature with it's head taped on behind the words 'Naughty Ottsel' above the door way.

"So you're an Ottsel," Ratchet said walking up to the door.

"The best," Daxter said.

Walking through the door they encounter Ashlin, Samos, Torn, Tess, and Keira, who were sitting in the bar. Tess jumped off the bar and hugged Daxter.

"Oh my Daxxy-Poo!" said Tess.

"Tess not in front of company" Daxter managed to squeeze out as Tess continued to squeeze him.

"Can I take this thing off?" Ratchet asked beginning to become annoyed at Jak having to ease everyone into being comfortable with an alien.

"Who's that?" Ashlin asked a suspicious look on her face.

"The tall one is Ratchet and the shorter one is Clank" Jak said taking a seat at the bar/ This time he was going to watch haw things were going to unfold only stepping in when the time was right.

Clank pulled off his hood first. "Hello nice to meet you I'm Clank." He shook hands with Torn who had a questioning look on his face.

"Jak, what the hell is going on?"

Keira picked up Clank and studied him. "He seems to be made of some foreign items but he's very complicated."

Clank chuckled. "Thank you!"

"So who is this other fellow?" Samos asked.

"Ratchet the Lombax" Ratchet said as he pulled down his hood.

Keira walked up to him and pulled his face around. "He seems to be more organic than the other."

"That's because I am organic, I'm an alien." The group started at him with blank faces.

"Did the Precursors send you from their travels in space to warn us of a returning evil," Samos said with a serious look on his face. his statement brought tension to the room

"Who? What are you talking about we just landed here to stay the night." Ratchet's words seemed to calm the room. "I guess the only reason that I'm still here is because I need to know if you guys want me to register your planet."

Ashlin sat quietly letting the situation sink in before finally saying "What would that do?"

"Your planet would be on the galactic map, given some of our technology and if you were ever in trouble then rangers would come to help" said Clank.

"And some tourist might come every once and a while" Ratchet added.

"Yeah but how do we know we can trust you?" Torn said playing out his knife.

"Well—" Ratchet was cut short by an transmitted hologram.

"Lady Ashlin, Lord Sig something big has landed in the wasteland!"

"Looks like this meeting is cut short" Jak said getting up with a mischievous grin as Daxter jumped on his shoulder.

Next Chapter will have a lot More Action. Stay tuned.
