It's time for another chapter of this mega-crossover, and this time we have a due introduced. Or should I say, 2 dues! Is this term correct? I'm going to assume it is for the hell of it.
Anyway, on with the story!
It was an ordinary sunny day on Plant Pokitaru, as its popular vacation site, "Jowai Resort", was full with tons of alien species that came there to relax and have a good vacation. From swimming in the chilly water, to relaxing on the hot sand under the burning sun's rays of light; everyone was enjoying themselves quite a bit.
One group was very noticeable around the beach area, as it was the galaxy's defense force, and it contained the galaxy's ex-president, Captain Quark; who was swimming in the water with his green mask still on his face, even though he took off the rest of his cloths before going into the water.
Not far from him, there were 2 beach chairs positioned in the shadow of a parasol. On one chair, lay a markazian female with a black hair which was known as Talwyn Apogee, the current defense captain of the Polaris Galaxy.
On the chair near her, listening to music through earphones and wearing nothing with the exception of a jeans was her boyfriend. He was a lombax, the last one remaining, and near his chair was a small grey robot which played in the sand. The 2 were known as the greatest hero due of the galaxy, Ratchet and Clank.
The group was just having a few days off for themselves as nothing seemed to be happening crime-wise. Talwyn has assigned someone to take her place until they return, in case something does happen but as of now, everything was just fine.
As all of the songs on Ratchet's music player were over, he took off his headphones and raised up from his chair a bit to look at his surroundings, until his eyes landed on Quark's large and exposed body and his bathing suit which had Quark's face all over it, a sight that made him avert his look from the direction. "Geez, Quark!" Ratchet exclaimed. "There are kids here!" He told him while gesturing to the families vacationing near them.
"And what a wonderful sight it is for those kids to see my muscles in all of their glory!" The large, human like male exclaimed and Ratchet face-palmed.
"Tal, can you please tell him he will scare kids off?" The lombax asked his girlfriend and was shocked that she didn't respond. "Tal?" Ratchet quickly turned in the direction of her seat to find out she wasn't there anymore. "Hey, did any of you see Talwyn lea…?" As Ratchet turned to face his other 2 companions; he saw that Quark was also nowhere to be seen.
Clank however, was still there, and he was shocked by the sudden disappearance of Talwyn and Quark as well. "Where did they go? They were right here just a second ago." Clank said.
"Come to think about it," Ratchet started to say as he looked around the area and noticed that everyone else present on the beach has vanished as well. "Where did everybody go?"
The due looked around for a few more seconds before Clank thought of something. "We should probably check some other planets to see if this happened only here or in other places as well."
Ratchet nodded at his friend. "Good idea, pal. Let's go." Clank then jumped unto Ratchet's back and attached himself to it.
As the 2 made it to their ship and got in, Ratchet put on his regular brown and blue shirt and shoes, as the ship started. They blasted off of the planet's atmosphere and started to fly around the black voids of space.
After a few seconds, Clank pointed out a planet that seemed rather unfamiliar to both him and Ratchet. Seeing how they needed to check at least 1 planet they came across, the lombax guided the ship in its direction.
On that same planet, lived specie that resembled a human being, but they had long ears that a human doesn't have. One of the cities in this large world was called Haven City. This said city was once a place of war and terror, as it was ruled by harsh leaders and it was at war with creatures known as Metal Heads.
Luckily for the citizens, the city was saved from both cases (One of them was also the world being destroyed) and many others by a pair of heroes that contained a blonde guy named Jak, and his sidekick orange ottsel named Daxter.
Both Jak and Daxter were currently hanging out in a bar that Daxter owned, "The Naughty Ottsel". After their last adventure, they decided to close the place for a private evening with their girlfriends, Keira and Tess, who were a human and an ottsel respectively.
The 4 were sitting near one of the tables and occasionally drinking liquor from the collection behind the bartender. "You know? Cleaning all that Eco and saving the city all the time, made me realize how much I like relaxing." Daxter said after he finished his drink and as Tess leaned on his shoulder.
Jak and Keira looked at each other with an amused look at what the small furry creature just said. "What? Are you saying I and Keira didn't help you out last time?" Jak asked him and Daxter glanced at him for a second.
"Oh, yeah… You drove me around and helped those guys we met warm up the bad guys for me. Thanks for that, Jak." He replied as he really did all the work in saving the day, which wasn't really the case. Jak, however, was used to Daxter's ego; and even started to enjoy the occasional quips his friend will throw at him.
"You're welcome, Dax." Jak giggled and turned to see Kiera's reaction… Only she wasn't there anymore.
"Kiera?" Jak asked with shock in his voice.
Daxter noticed that Tess was nowhere to be seen as well. "Tess? Babe? Where did you go?" He asked, even though she wasn't there before turning to Jak. "Jak, what is going on?"
"I have no idea." Jak answered while he tried to think what could have happened. "Let's go see Torn and the others at KG-HQ, maybe they could tell us what is going on." He eventually suggested.
"I'm with you." Daxter replied.
The made it out of "The Naughty Ottsel" and hopped inside their hover car. Jak took the wheel while Daxter positioned himself in the passenger seat. As the 2 friends headed towards their destination, they noticed that the city was unusually empty. It was really crowded must of the time, and as they went for the drink there was still activity… But now it looked like a ghost town.
"Do you think this has anything to do with Keira and Tess disappearing?" Jak asked his best friend.
"I don't know…" He replied, worried.
Jak and Daxter made it to KG-HQ, which was where some of their friends worked, but they found the door locked. Jak used the security pass that was giving to him and Daxter in case they needed to drop by and enter. To the due's dismay, no one was there.
As they walked back to the streets of the city, not sure what of to do, a red space ship landed in the middle of the area. Both Jak and Daxter hurried to find a hiding spot, as they felt this ship has some connection to everyone vanishing.
Out of the ship came 2 figures, an alien and a robot which actually looked familiar to the demolition due. Those were Ratchet and Clank. They met them twice before in their lives; 1 time they fought each other, the second meeting involved them working together along with some other friends.
"I don't remember being here before, what about you, Clank?" Ratchet asked his friend.
"It doesn't seem likely, according to my star charts." The robot answered.
"Ratchet? Clank?" A voice from behind them startled the 2 galactic heroes as they turned around to see Jak coming towards them with Daxter on his shoulder.
"Hey! Um… Jak and Daxter, right?" Ratchet asked, not really sure about their names.
"You seriously almost forgot our names, Fur ball?" Daxter asked Ratchet rudely, not taking kind to someone forgetting him.
Ratchet lifted his hands in surrender to the response. "Woah, sorry. It's just been a while." He said before comprehending what the ottsel called him. "And you are to talk about fur balls?"
Daxter gave Ratchet a disapproving scowl while Jak giggled a bit. "He got you." He said to Daxter, who turned to glare at him in response.
"What are you guys doing here anyway?" Clank asked, trying to bring the conversation back to where he wanted.
Daxter jumped off Jak's shoulder to address Clank eye-level. "We live in this city. The real question is; what are you guys doing here?"
"We were vacationing on some plant and all the sudden, our friends and everybody else just… disappeared." Ratchet explained. Jak shared a look with Daxter, signaling that they knew what he was talking about. "And by the looks of it," Ratchet resumed his talking as he was looking around at the empty city. "The same happened here."
All 4 of them thought for a second before Clank spoke up. "Do you think the same thing happened in Rayman's world?" He asked Ratchet.
Jak looked at both of them. "Rayman? As in "guy with no limbs" Rayman?" He asked them.
Ratchet raised a suspecting eyebrow at Jak. "Yeah… You know him?"
"He was here once, helping his friend looking for answers about her past." Daxter said.
"Okay, it seems we have a common alley." Ratchet told them. "Come with us in our ship," Ratchet said while pointing to it. "He might know what's going on with this thing."
Everyone nodded at him before they entered the ship and blasted away to meet Rayman.
So, just to make some stuff clear to any fans of the 2 franchises. This takes places after both "Into The NEXUS" and "The Lost Frontier", in case anyone wonders.
Second of all, Yes. Both "PlayStation Move Heroes" and "PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale" are canon to this. Now if anyone is going to bring up that Jak and Ratchet don't recognize each other in each of the games, I have a theory. "Battle Royale" happens first where they all met in that blue area. Sometime after that, "Move Heroes" happens and the first thing Jak sees on the planet once he gets up, is Ratchet, and given their rough encounter last time, he assumed he had something to do with it and the rest you know. This is by no means official, this is just my imagination working over-time.
So, with that long explanation out of the way, Rayman is showing up next time! Yay! I was waiting for that! See you then and please review!
