Ratchet flew down the ship not too far away from the Blarg Shackleberry shop. Ratchet and Clank hopped out of the ship and hid by a huge rock. Ratchet was kneeling down on one knee while he had his Pyrocitor in the other. Clank was peering around the corner looking out for reinforcements that were nearby.

"Ratchet there is a lot of security by the Blarg Shackleberry how are we going to get by?"Clank asked in a concerned voice. He turned to his furry friend for an answer to see Ratchet had already moved from one rock to another. He spots Ratchet narrowing his eyes with his tongue sticking out a bit with his tail wagging, he knew that this was not a good sign for him.

"Ratchet what are you doing?" Clank called sprinting over to the rock Ratchet was hiding behind.

"I am going to take out those reinforcements." Ratchet assured.

"Ratchet, my scanners are saying that those warbots have updated their systems it will be harder for you to take them down."

"Nothing can take this Lombax down!" Ratchet had already had his mind set on taking out the warbots and it was no way to change his mind.

Clank's eyes wired down in disappointment that his friend won't even take his suggestion.

Ratchet leaps behind rock to rock hoping to get as close as possible without getting caught. Ratchet was getting ready to aim at the nearest robot until he heard a voice coming out of the two doors. He puts down his weapon and eavesdrop in the conversation.

"Hm I wonder what new possibilities the Ryno 6 will be capable of." The Blarg started.

"Spotting enemies from a long distance, using a super targeting system, having twice the firing power than the Ryno 5." Another Blarg went on and on about his imagination.

"I just hope that we get our good share for this." An orange Blarg walked up between the two drinking a soda.

"A Ryno 6?" Ratchet was baffled. They found all the schematics somehow and they were building it as they speak.

"Clank there are quite a few Blargs and warbots coming out of the Shack. How are we going to find another way around without getting caught?" Ratchet was worried that they already wasted enough time crouching down. 

"Allow me." Clank reassures, using the blinking red antenna on his head he detects another way that they could get in.

Ratchet always felt a sense of security when Clank said those words. Clank would find a way in a matter of seconds to work out a problem. As he did here he detected a small opening on the outside of the building but they would have to crawl through the vent to get inside. 

"Ratchet follow me." Clank suggested, sprinting over to the small vent on the side of the building. Ratchet followed close behind him.

Ratchet crouched down watching Clank unscrew bolt by bolt to open the vent. When the job was done Clank hopped back onto Ratchet's back and the Lombax went inside the dusty vent.

The vent was rather small it could barely fit him and his pal. Ratchet struggled to find his way through the vent. Each inch he crawls the vent grew darker and the space was beginning to get even more congested. He didn't know how much longer he could hold out or if he was going to get stuck in the process but the brave Lombax proceeded on with the help on Clank guiding him. Eventually they could see the light at the end of the tunnel. A blinding white light that almost seemed like it was Orvus revealing himself in another form. 

Ratchet reaches towards the vent in front of him. "Clank, uh could you give me a hand here?"

Clank reaches into his compartment and feels for the screwdriver, his other equipment in his compartment were colliding into each other making noise. 

"Clank can you keep it down some?" 

Clank finally finds the screwdriver and hands it to Ratchet. Ratchet unscrews the vent and he crawls out. A gentle breeze went through Ratchet's fur. He felt relieved that he was no longer in the congested vent, but he was not prepared about what they are seeing.
