Ratchet and Clank (2002)

Chapter Two: Planet Novalis

Entering Atmosphere Of Planet Novalis

Ratchet and Clank crash into a hill on Planet Novalis, "Ahhhh!!!" Ratchet screams out landing on his back, "Ooomph!" grunting and exhaling, "Uhn...Clank? Where are you?" looking around for Clank no where to be found when suddenly Ratchet hears a voice from beneath him, "Hmm rgght hrrr." shocked to hear him he gets up, "Oh sorry about that. Well... we're not leaving the way we came in." Clank responds, "Perhaps we could procure a ship from one of the inhabitants." Ratchet and Clank look up at the sky as Ratchet looks at Clank, "If there are any left." A minute later his alarm on his wrist goes off, "Oh boy I left my medicine now I'm freaking out." Clank looks at Ratchet, "You said it wasn't important if you needed them. What are you hiding?" Ratchet looks surprised at his response, "Oh nothing it can wait a couple of more hours." he then starts thinking to himself, "At this rate I'm going to start experiencing more leg pain than ever before but so far I feel fine hopefully it won't be obvious. Plus I've noticed I've been feeling a little better after not taking my medicine." Clank gets Ratchet's attention, "Ratchet? Is everything alright?" Ratchet brushes it off, "Yeah I'm fine come on!" Clank hops on Ratchet's back as they make their way through the planet. While exploring the duo find a ship coming from the sky, as the ship lands, an old man and an infobot emerge from the ship, "Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me! What are you? Mercenaries? Torturers? Assassins? I'll tell you anything! Here, take my infobot, it's all I've got left!" The infobot gets closer as Clank chimes in, "Sir, we're not assass.." Ratchet interrupts, "Hold on! Let's see what he's got!"

Captain Qwark is on the edge of a cliff using his galactic gun as it is out of ammo while the monster attacks. The screen freezes, "Has this ever happened to you? Hi, I'm Captain Qwark, and believe me, there's nothing worse than starting down a Blargian Snagglebeast-from the inside-and knowing your equipment isn't functioning properly! That's why I come to Al's Robo Shack for all my electronic needs. Al has been the exclusive repair shop for my super electro gadgets since I was knee high to a sand mouse! If Al can't fix it, it's not broke, right Al?" Al stands there awkwardly, "Err..." Qwark looks at the camera smiling, "You said it pal! So if your fighting crime, or just fighting grime, heheh, Come to Al's Robo Shack in Metropolis for all your robotic repairs. Al's Robo Shack, it's Qwarktastic!"

(Infobot footage stops)

Clank looks at Ratchet, "Do you know what this means?" he asks as Ratched nods his head no, "Yeah, Captain Qwark has really sold out." Clank responds, "No, it means Captain Qwark is on Metropolis! We could tell him about the invasion..." Ratchet says in responds, "If we had a ship..." the old man hears the both of them, "Hunh... uh a ship? You're not going to torture me? Well as planetary chairman I could arrange for you to borrow our courier ship." Ratchet is happy, "Cool!" as Clank is optimistic, "You can count on us, sir." Ratchet smiles, "Er...right. Thank you...your...chairmanshipliness."

In The Sewers

Ratchet and Clank go into the sewers to explore them and bump into a plumber, "Dadblast-it!" The plumber yelled out as Ratchet looks at Clank, "Look, plumber's crack." laughing as Clank smiles irritating the plumber, "What did you just say?!" Ratchet thinking of a response, "I said, 'Look- the plumber's back!" to which the plumber responds, "Alright wise guy, shouldn't you be on one of them escape transports?" Ratchet gives him a funny look, "Escape transports?" as the plumber points out the obvious, "News flash: giant robots attacking. The escape transports are taking all the rich folks of this galdarn planet." Ratchet asks, "So why aren't you on one?" with the plumber responding, "Socioeconomic disparity." Ratchet questions, "What?!" Clank clarifies, "He hasn't got enough bolts." The plumber explains, "Working people have to wait for Captain Qwark to save us." Ratchet asks, "Well, got anything worth a lot of bolts?" The plumber holds an infobot, "I got this thing- shows two weirdos ditching their ship. It's got coordinates to a desert planet, too." Clank points out, "An infobot. Ratchet we could use that." The plumber gives the duo the infobot as she swiftly runs towards the sewer pipe jumping into the water, "Geronimo!" he yells out as Ratchet questions, "Did he just slide down a sewer pipe?"

Two alien men are sitting in a ship as one of them yells out, "Mayday! Mayday! This is the Solar Ship Radical! We seem to be under attack from the planet's surface." the man sitting next to him tells him, "Relax kid it looks like some sort of fireworks display probably in your honor." The other man looks up at the window, "Whoa! That was close!" a crash is heard as they are hit, "Ahh!" said the green alien man, "Pipe down I can't concentrate." The green driver man freaks out, "We've been hit!" The other guy tells him, "It's an unexpected detoil when we land I'll see if I can start up an exhibition for you." The driver tells him, "We aren't going to live that long!" The passenger tells him, "Kid let's hamscream!" The driver presses the eject button, "Eject! Eject!"

(Infobot Footage Stops)

Ratchet tells Clank, "Did you see that guy on the left? That was Skid McMarx." Clank asks Ratchet, "Does he know Captain Qwark?" Ratchet replies, "I doubt it. He's a Pro Hoverboarder- always going off about how cool he is." as Clank tells him, "Looks like he's in trouble." Ratchet responds, "I'll say! I've never seen him look so freaked out..." the duo make it out of the sewers to make it back to there ship and head to Planet Kerwan.
