With no delay this week or this time I give you chapter 5 of Worlds United. And I do have a few things to say today. One, it turns out on Deviantart, this recent group (I think) called RatchetandClank-Lore featured my Worlds United cover art and I sorta thank them for that. Also we have now reached 7 reviews, and why this is important is because this is how many reviews I have on One For All, so I thank you guys very much for your support and I appreciate it, so keep it up. Also I apologize if your noticing strange problems with the cover art, its keeps getting removed from the story and I set my profile picture to the cover art and I don't even know if that's working, but I sent a ticket to the FictionPress and hopefully they can fix that problem. Now lets move on to reviews.

On The Road Again

Before leaving the Training Facility, Ratchet and Jordan were both issued standard Megacorp blasters known as Lancers. Jordan and Ratchet tested these in the shooting range during their training and they were definitely similar to the blasters that Gadgetron had and they both knew they would get use to these very easily. They were also offered a weapon called a Gravity Bomb that was a strange grenade launcher, but Jordan left that to Ratchet. Once they were issued their weapons, Ratchet and Jordan went to the hangar and got in their new red and orange ship that Fizzwidget called the Star Explorer. Once in the ship Fizzwidget sent them the coordinates to Planet Aranos where the ship was located and the group flew off. Soon enough though they were entering the atmosphere of Aranos and the Gigantic vessel was in their windshield and Ratchet punched a few numbers on the dashboard and contacted Fizzwidget, who immediately popped up on the dashboards screen.

"Ratchet and Jordan reporting in, were on final approach to coordinates three-seven alpha." Ratchet said.

"Good luck gentlemen, I'm counting on you."

"Affirmative, beginning radio silence."

Ratchet pressed a button on the dashboard and Fizzwidget disappeared from the screen. Ratchet flew the ship to a hatch located under the ship and the hatch opened when the ship got close and Ratchet flew the ship into the hangar of the ship. Ratchet pressed a button on the ship and Jordan and Ratchet slowly heard the thruster on the ship fade away and soon there was complete silence.

Ratchet grabbed his blaster from beside him and looked at Jordan "Ready?" Ratchet said.

"Why wouldn't I be." Jordan said putting his hood up.

With that said, Ratchet opened the cockpit of the ship and the duo jumped out, quickly aiming their blasters around the area, seeing no enemies whatsoever. Jordan and Ratchet saw a button on the far side of the room and walked over to it. Jordan let Ratchet do the honors and Ratchet stepped on the button and suddenly the floor beneath them started to rise and they saw that it was just an elevator that took them up to a narrow hallway that had a ladder on the other side. The duo walked carefully across the hallway making sure there were no enemies. But as they reached the ladder, two blue robots with spider like legs and saws on both their hands jumped from the top of the ladder and walked towards the group.

'Well, at least there not people.' Jordan said in his thoughts.

Jordan equipped his lancer and took aim. As he took aim he saw that the sights on the weapon were a little different than the blaster, but saw that it was similar, but saw both the bots explode as Ratchet used his Gravity bomb to destroy both of them. With the threat gone, Jordan decided to go first and Jordan climbed up the ladder, and Ratchet followed him. Once they were up top, they saw that there was a small room and Ratchet and Jordan walked through it. The duo then turned to their left and saw that and even longer hallway with strange lights surrounding it awaited them.

They slowly walked down the hallway and as they were walking, another robot with saws on his hands jumped down form the ceiling, but was red this time. The duo equipped both their Lancers and took aim. Jordan fired first at the robot, but missed, but Ratchet fired his gun and hit the robot directly in the stomach. Jordan then fired his blaster and hit it in the arm this time, and Ratchet fired and hit the robot directly in a large red button on its chest and destroyed it. They kept walking and halfway down the hallway, another red robot dropped from the ceiling at the end of the hallway.

Jordan took aim and fired at the robot, but missed again, Ratchet however aimed and shot the robot in the center of its chest and destroyed it again. The duo continued walking and finally reached the end of the hallway and entered a larger room with a window at the end and when they walked in, two blue robots this time dropped from the ceiling at the end of the room and Ratchet equipped his Gravity bomb and took aim. Ratchet aimed and fired a bomb at the center of the robots and the radius was big enough to destroy the two robots and the room was clear. Ratchet and Jordan looked to their right and saw that the door opened up to the outside world as they had to walk across a narrow connected platform that lead to the other side of the ship and they saw that two blue robots were waiting at the entrance in some kind of resting mode and Ratchet used his Gravity Bomb and shot a bomb in the center of them and destroyed them again. Ratchet and Jordan slowly walked across the platform and halfway down, a door on the other side opened to only one blue robot and Jordan equipped his blaster and aimed at the robot. Jordan slowly aimed this time and fired, missing the robot again. Jordan was now getting frustrated at this point but Ratchet used his Lancer and fired at the robot and hit it directly in the chest and destroyed it.

"Whats up with you?" Ratchet asked.

"What do you mean?" Jordan replied.

"You keep missing."

"It's just been a while."

"But we practice at the-"

"JUST..give me some time."

Ratchet and Jordan continued to walk to the end of the platform and once they walked through the door, they saw that there was another platform with a button on it and Ratchet and Jordan walked to it and Ratchet pressed the button. The lift started taking them up and once they reached the top, they saw two blue robots waiting at the door and the bots noticed the group and started to go after them. Jordan knew what Ratchet was going to do and let him equip his gravity bomb and fire one bomb at the two robots and destroy them. With the threat gone, Ratchet and Jordan walked through the door and once inside, they saw a stand and on top of it was a cage and in that cage was no other than the experiment they were after.

"See that wasn't so hard now was it?" Ratchet said.

"Just get that...thing and lets get outta here."

Ratchet slowly walked up to the creature and held his hands out to grab the experiment, but was stopped as the group saw the walls in front of them open up and behind it was a blue and red robot, and the enemy they saw in the photo holding a blaster towards Ratchet and Jordan.

'Oooooooooof course.' Jordan thought in frustration, knowing all along that this assignment would not be that easy

Jordan held his blaster at the thief, seeing his red shirt, cape, and hood, but slowly withdrew his weapon knowing that he would fire at Ratchet if he did anything stupid.

"I see its time to update my security forces." The man said in a deep voice.

"Whoa-hey no, no, no, I'm just here to..fix the...trans-fluxer..coil." Ratchet said while the red robot walked over and grabbed the cage containing the experiment then walking back and giving it to the thief.

"Nice try." The man said "Give my regards to Megacorp" He said as he walked over to a hatch on the right while still aiming his blaster at the duo. "Finish them." the man said as the hatch opened. But as he got in it, he hit his forehead on the hatch, causing both the experiment and the robots to laugh, but the man pointed his blaster at the robots and they stopped their laughter immediately.

The thief however jumped through the hatch and the top closed and the bots focused their attention on the duo. The red bot decided to go after Ratchet, and the blue robot towards Jordan and the bots activated their saws and made their way towards them. Jordan equipped his Lancer, and Ratchet equipped his wrench. Jordan however was so focused on Ratchet that he failed to notice the bot come after him and as he looked back, he saw the bot raise its saw blade at him and Jordan held the blaster up to his face and fired, hitting the robot directly in the face and causing its head to explode into pieces. With his robot gone, Jordan looked over to Ratchet and saw that Ratchet was about to swing, but saw the robot swing its arm and knock the wrench from his hand clean off.

It was at that moment that Jordan ran to the other side of the room to get the wrench and once he got to it, Jordan saw Ratchet dodge a swing from the robot, but fail to dodge the swing of its other arm and slice him across the chest. Ratchet feel to the ground and as the robot lifted its arms to finish him off, Jordan ran full speed at the robot and use all of his force to swing at the robots torso and knock it two feet across the room. Jordan walked across the room to the robot and as he was watching it trying to get up with its spider like legs, Jordan lifted the wrench over his head and bring it down on the robots head with full force, severely damaging it but not killing it. Jordan now tried again and he brought the wrench over his head again and with even stronger force he brought it down on the robots head, completely smashing it into pieces. Jordan saw the legs twitch for a few seconds and then saw them completely stop. Jordan walked over to his wounded friend and looked at him.

"You alright?" Jordan asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Ratchet replied.

"Your bleeding." Jordan said as he watched blood ooze from the wound, but suddenly saw the wound glow bright blue and soon enough the light diminished and there was nothing but a long scar "Never mind then."

Jordan held his hand out to Ratchet and Ratchet grabbed his hand and Jordan pulled him up. Once they were up on their feet again, Jordan handed Ratchet his wrench back and Ratchet grabbed the wrench from Jordan's hands.

"Thanks, cmon we have to find a way back to the ship and contact Fizzwidget."

Ratchet and Jordan walked up towards the wall and suddenly saw it open to another room on the other side, filled with screens aligning the walls, and two blue robots with flamethrowers on their arms this time. They now knew it was time to use their lancer and Ratchet and Jordan took aim. Jordan decided to shoot the robot on the left, and Ratchet can take the right and Jordan aimed and shot, hitting the robot in the stomach, but not killing it. But with Ratchet's experience with weapons, he was able to hit the robot in the center of the chest and destroyed it. Jordan however aimed again and shot, but luckily hit the robot in the chest as well and destroyed it.

The duo now saw a hatch to their left automatically open and Jordan looked down it and saw that it was a long metallic shaft that they had to walk down. Jordan decided to go first and as he took his first step, his foot slipped and he slid back first down the shaft. Knowing that it was like a slide, Ratchet for some reason layed on his stomach and slid down the shaft and soon they reached the bottom. But Jordan was quickly frightened as they learned that the slide lead them to one of the wings of the plane. Jordan however remained calm and they saw that there were five bots on the wing with them, with all of them being in sleeping mode.

Ratchet equipped his Gravity Bomb and fired a bomb at the group, instantly destroying four of them and leaving one badly wounded. Jordan equipped his Lancer and aimed far to the right of the robot and he held his breath to aim, and then he shot, hitting the robot in the stomach, but destroying it. Jordan now wanted off the wing and looked to his right and saw another room with its window open and pointed it out to Ratchet and they slowly walked across the wing and soon they were near the glass and they climbed through the window and were know safe from the gusting winds outside. They looked in front of them and saw an elevator that had three bots in sleep mode on it and Ratchet equipped his Gravity Bomb. Unfortunately they were too far away from the bots and quietly walked towards it and as they got close, the bots popped out from their mode and the duo saw that they were all equipped with flamethrowers. Ratchet however was quick as he launched a gravity bomb at the group of bots and destroyed all of them with one bomb.

"Dang that things powerful." Jordan said.

Jordan and Ratchet walked onto the platform and Ratchet pressed the button on the platform, causing the whole thing to go up, but it was a short ride. They now saw that there was a door in front of them and when it opened, they saw that there was a long and zig-zag like hallway that they had to walk through. Jordan equipped his Lancer in the case of any surprises and as they walked their first corner, a red bot waited for them, but had saws this time. Luckily due to their proximity of the bot, Jordan was able to get up close to the bot and aim and fire directly at the bots head, instantly destroying it. They now continued to walk through the zig-zag like hallway and soon it was over and they walked into another large room with two blue bots in it with saws on their hands.

Once again they were close to each other and Ratchet equipped his Gravity Bomb and shot one bomb in the center of the bots, destroying both of them. Thinking that the threat was gone, another blue bot suddenly jumped from the ceiling and walked with his saw hands towards the group. Jordan and Ratchet equipped their Lancers and Jordan took aim first, then fired, hitting the robot in the arm. Ratchet then took aim and fired at the robot, hitting it square in the chest and destroying it. Another bot now from the right side of the room fell from the ceiling and the duo was quick to react to it.

Jordan took aim and this time held his breath and fired, hitting the robot in the chest and destroying it. Thinking they were done they saw two more things fall from the ceiling, but they were bots, instead metallic spheres with little orange circles surrounding it started to float towards them. The duo stayed together though as the balls flew closer and closer to each other and Ratchet equipped his lancer and shot one ball with one hit, and Jordan did the same and destroyed the other one. Ratchet and Jordan now waited for five seconds and saw that no more things fell from the sky and proceeded towards a small door on the other side of the room. As they got close, the door opened into another large room and they walked into it.

They saw that there were two doors on both sides of the room, but saw them suddenly explode as a blue and a red bot appeared out of both of them armed with flame throwers. They saw that the bots were too far for effective use of the Gravity Bomb and decided to use their Lancers instead. Jordan took aim and held his breath and quickly fired, hitting the robot in the chest and destroying it. Ratchet however aimed and shot his robot, hitting it in the stomach and not killing it. The robot was now getting close and Jordan aimed his gun at the other robot and somehow Jordan and Ratchet simultaneously fired and both of their shots hit the robot and destroyed it.

The duo looked at the doors and saw the one on the left had nothing in it, but the one on the left led out to the outside elements again and the duo had no choice but to walk through that one. They paused at the frame of the door to look outside, but they both head strange noised coming from behind them and Jordan looked back to see two blue bots standing right behind them with saw ready to slice them into pieces.

"Uuh, Ratchet." Jordan said nervously, causing Ratchet to look back as well.

Jordan however didn't get a response as he saw Ratchet just as terrified as he was, but saw him run away from the robots and jump off the ledge. Jordan quickly ran over to the ledge but saw Ratchet disappear as he saw his ship fly right past him and grab him.

"Sure, leave me behind." Jordan quietly.

Jordan looked back and saw the bots as angry as ever and saw them walk towards him, causing Jordan to step back closer and closer to the ledge. Jordan looked down and saw that Ratchet's ship was flying under him and quickly stop right underneath him. Jordan saw the cockpit window open and he knew what that meant. Jordan took a deep breath, knowing this must be the most dangerous trust fall he's ever committed and Jordan held his arms out to his sides, and leaned back and fell off the ledge. Jordan made sure to keep his back straight and knew that this fall was going to hurt, but all he felt was the more soft than he thought cushions break his fall, and saw Ratchet staring down on him. Jordan quickly sat back up in his seat and Ratchet closed the cockpit and flew off. Seeing though that the mission was a failure, Ratchet flew out of the atmosphere of Aranos into the dark depths of space and Ratchet started pressing a few buttons on the dashboard to contact Fizzwidget.

Wow, who would ever thought someone would get injured this quickly in this story. But I don't have much to say for this part but say that this was chapter 5 and stay tuned for chapter 6 as the duo continue their search for the unknown theif, and the stolen experiment.
