You guys know I'm all about these character watch fics. They're awesome. Well, I've been a fan of Ratchet and Clank since I was little and recently I thought it would be kinda cool to read a story where they react to their lives but I wasn't able to find any. So I feel I must take the responsibility of making one.

So the way this fic is going to work is I've taken a few characters from Ratchet and Clank and I'm going to do a character watch fic with them. I intend to do the future series (PS3 games) for this, A: because it's my favourite and B: because I think the storyline (that deals with a lot of Ratchet and Clank's past and is by far the most lore building and emotional of all their storylines) will be the best for reacting to. The chapters will be organised by planets (one planet per chapter). I've selected the character's based on how prominent they were in the games and deliberately omitted any characters I feel will be constantly hostile in a situation like this (so the main villains of Tools of Destruction, Slag and Tachyon will not be here, I have however included Nefarious because he is a recurring villain through the games so I felt him important enough to leave in, plus unlike those two I think he would be able to remain calm and cooperate if required, as seen in All 4 One). Also, everyone will be coming into this blind, all the characters have been brought here from a time before any of the events they will witness have happened.

One afternoon, Ratchet and Clank were just relaxing in their home on Kerwan. Just taking a lazy Sunday to watch TV when suddenly they were engulfed in a blinding light…

"Oh… What the heck?" Ratchet groaned, sitting up.

"I believe we have been teleported." Clank said.

"Yeah, no kidding." Ratchet responded, looking around the room. It was a small dark room with several bean bags scattered around and a large screen across one wall. There didn't seem to be any doors or windows. Though what really caught Ratchet's attention was the fact that they were not the only ones there.

"Ratchet? Clank?" A very distressed looking Captain Qwark was there. "Thank god you two are here… I mean fear not! For I, Captain Qwark shall protect you from whatever villain has brought us here." He cried, grabbing the two of them and clutching them in his arms much to their annoyance.

"Qwark?!" An angry robotic voice cried.

"Oh great." Ratchet sighed.

"Nefarious!" Qwark yelled, reaching for his blaster only to find it wasn't there. Ratchet was also horrified to realise all his weapons, even his trusted omniwrench, were also gone. He was, however, relieved to look up and see Nefarious was unable to find any of his weaponry either. His butler Lawrence was with them too and was making a subtle attempt to stay out of the way.

"It would seem whoever or whatever brought us here has also disarmed all of us." Clank said.

"Well that's just rude of them." A new, unfamiliar voice said.

"Oh stop complaining you old coot."

Everyone looked over and saw two old warbots, one red and the other blue. In between them was a young Markazian women and Ratchet would be lying if he said he didn't think she was quite attractive.

"Cronk, Zepher, calm down. We need to establish whether they're a threat or not." The Markazian said. Clearly she was the leader of this little gang.

Aside from them there were two others in the room. One was another robot. He was red with a belt containing a variety of tools. He seemed to be incredibly nervous, hiding in the corner and trying to look as small as possible. The other was… Ratchet could hardly believe his eyes… Another lombax. He'd only ever met one other lombax in his life.

This other lombax had white fur with red stripes and was looking around the room with the eyes of someone who never trusted anyone. Until his eyes landed on Ratchet then they just looked shocked.

"It can't be…" He said, voice thick with emotion.

"Uh…" Ratchet said, unsure how to react as this other lombax approached him.

"You're Kaden's son…" He said.

"What?" Ratchet gasped, shocked.

Everyone one else just stayed quiet, even Nefarious, surprisingly enough. A lot of people in the room didn't really understand what was happening but they got the sense this was an important moment for the two lombaxes in the room. Talwyn was one of the few that did, knowing the oppressor of her home, the Polaris Galaxy, emperor Tachyon, had massacred nearly all lombaxes in the universe. She watched on in silence feeling so happy and so sad at the same time. It was good these two were able to meet each other but sad that the reason it was good was that there were so few of them left.

"You're saying you knew my father?" Ratchet asked.

"Kaden and I were good friends, he was a great lombax." The older lombax said. "Ah, I haven't introduced myself, I'm general Alister Azimuth."

"My, uh, my name's Ratchet." Ratchet stuttered out, still very shocked. Not only had he just met one of his own kind, something that rarely ever happened, but one who knew his biological father.

"Perhaps the rest of us should introduce ourselves." Clank piped up. "I am known as Clank."

"I doubt I need any introduction but if you so wish, I am Captain Copernicus L. Qwark, intergalactic superhero, saviour of—"

"Would you put a sock in it!" Nefarious yelled. Everyone turned to him expectantly. "Fine." He grumbled. "I'm Dr Nefarious and this is Lawrence." He gestures to the butler. Lawrence bows, ever the polite one.

"I'm Talwyn Apogee." The Markazian girl said. "This is Kronk and Zepher." She gestured to the blue and red robots respectively.

"Don't nobody get any wise ideas." Zepher said. "I may not have my weapons but I'm trained in many martial arts." He proceeded to demonstrate by making a series of overdramatic poses before finally tripping over his own feet and collapsing so hard a few nuts and bolts were sent flying. Talwyn just rolled her eyes as though she was used to this.

"And you are?" Clank asked, addressing the nervous robot in the corner of the room.

"Uh, me?" He asked, placing a hand on his chest. " I'm Sigma 0426A but you can just call me Sigmund sir."

"Sir?" Clank asked.

"You are XJ0461 right? You're father's always talking about you, I'd know you anywhere."

"My… Father?" Clank asked, shocked.

"Him too?" Nefarious deadpanned. "Don't suppose any of you here know my father?" He asked sarcastically.

"Perhaps we should get on with things now."

Everyone started at the new voice and looked round to see a young human stood by the screen at the front of the room. She had brown wavy hair and brown eyes and was wearing a blue sleeveless shirt and denim miniskirt.

"And who are you?" Talwyn asked.

"My name's Crazyfanperson, aka Scarlet but you can just call me Scar. I'm basically the all powerful being of this universe and I get my kicks by dragging people from their universes and forcing them to watch their lives like a TV show and you guys are the lucky bunch up next!" She grinned at them mischievously.

"I'm sorry… What?" Said Ratchet.

"You're here to watch a TV show about your life, can I make it any clearer?" Scar replied.

"I always knew my life would make a great TV show." Qwark boasted.

"Oh please." Said Nefarious, rolling his eyes.

"Yes, I hate to break it to you but the stars of this show are Ratchet and Clank, you're more of a supporting character."

Qwark seemed like he wanted to protest but Scar continued before he could get a word in.

"Anyway, you guys have fun." She clicked her fingers and disappeared in a flash of blue lightening.

"Wait!" Nefarious cried. "You can't just leave me here with these morons."

Everyone else had similar protests but they were all soon interrupted by the screen flickering into life.

"It seems this Scar really has full control here but what she is asking of us isn't exactly a threat to the universe or anything so I suggest we comply." Clank reasoned. A few of the people in the room looked like they still wanted to protest but eventually everyone pulled up a beanbag ready to watch the show. Ratchet and Clank sat next to each other and on Clank's right were Sigmund first, then Talwyn and her two warbots. Qwark sat on Ratchet's left trying to hide the fact that he was slightly scared of Nefarious. Alister sat next to him, shooting the occasional glance at Ratchet. Next to him was Lawrence and then Nefarious, who was trying to sit as far from the people who had ruined his life as possible.
