Veldin

Meanwhile on the desert world of Veldin in the Solana Galaxy, a couple of individuals were relaxing in a cylindrical shaped garage. One was a feline humanoid with yellow fur and brown stripes, green eyes, and large pointy ears. He wore an orange, tangerine and teal blue short sleeved shirt, a chest harness, teal blue pants with knee padding, brown leather gloves, and brown boots. The other being was a small robot made of a grey metallic alloy. He had large circular green eyes, an antenna on top of his head and small articulated limbs, though his right arm is golden. They were looking rather bored as they sat in front of a radio.

"It's been several days and we haven't seen any action, Clank." Complained the feline.

"I am starting to get bored myself, Ratchet. There's hardly even a pirate raid in the latest." Said Clank.

The feline creature known as Ratchet got up from his seat and walked out of the garage and looked up at the stars, and sighed.

"It's been more than a couple weeks since we ended the dimensional cataclysm with Rivet and Kit. We already had our vacation. And I bet they might be having the same problem as us: no action." Said Ratchet.

"Not to mention Dr Nefarious hasn't been seen since then. Though I doubt he would be starting trouble now." Said Clank as he kept looking at the radio.

"I doubt ANYBODY is gonna start something now. Like invasion of a planet by some warlord or a crash landing of a mysterious stranger." Responded Ratchet.

As he continued to look at the stars, he suddenly heard a loud crack in the sky. He looked to his left and saw what looks like a large falling meteorite about to land behind a small mountain on the far side of the Kyzil Plateau. Clank ran out to see what was happening. The large meteor landed behind the mountain with enough force to shake the ground.

"I'd brush that off as a simple meteorite Ratchet, but I detected a strange unknown energy signature. I suggest we investigate." Said Clank.

"You're right Clank. If something strange fell from the sky, he can't ignore it." Agreed Ratchet as the little robot hopped onto his friends back and the duo ran off to the crash site.


After about ten minutes, they finally reached the crash site. And what they found shocked them. At the center of the crater was not a meteorite as they originally thought, but rather an enormous spacecraft.

"It appears to be some sort of ship. But there's nothing in the database that matches its description. How strange." Said Clank as he got off Ratchet's back.

"Well I'd say let's just pry this thing open and find out who are what's inside." Suggested Ratchet as he took out his signature weapon, an Omniwrench, and cautiously approached the spacecraft.

Just then the craft suddenly hissed out gas, startling the two friends. A hatch at the top of the craft slowly began to open. Ratchet brought out one of his other weapons, the Burst Pistol in case the occupant was hostile. A large yellow, mechanical hand reached out of the ship and grabbed onto the exterior of the craft. Another hand followed and soon the full, giant yellow body of a robot climbed out. The giant being looked down at the duo with its bright blue eyes. Both Ratchet and Clank were in shock and awe of this mysterious mechanical being.

"What is that?" Asked Ratchet as he slightly lowered his weapon.

"I do not know, Ratchet. But perhaps we can ask it." Suggested Clank.

"Good idea. Excuse me, big robot thingy? May we asked who you are? And what are you?" Asked Ratchet

The machine merely responded with beeps. Ratchet and Clank looked at each other, confused.

"Perhaps he is speaking a completely foreign language, or simply cannot communicate like other beings." Said Clank.

"Well my name is Ratchet, and I'm a Lombax." Greeted Ratchet as he held out his hand.

"And I am Clank." Greeted Clank as he held out his golden arm at the giant.

The mechanical giant knelt down and held out it index finger on its right arm to the two friends and they shook on it.

"Let's head back to the garage. I'd like to know more about our new friend here." Said Ratchet as he, Clank and the yellow robot walked back towards the garage. Unknown to Ratchet and Clank, the mechanical giant is a little worried about his own companions and hoped they made it without complications.

So Ratchet and Clank has met this mysterious stranger that fell from the sky. Whoever knows who it is gets a prize!

But what of the stranger's other companions? Did they also make it without much issue?

Stay tuned to find out!
