Attack On Galaxy [ON HOLD]

Clank

The sun has completely fallen by now, and what was the sun was replaced by the moon that rises high in the sky filled with countless stars lighting up the Galaxy, with neighboring planets close in view.

Ratchet was sitting on a rail up high, usually this was his thinking place, or just where he goes to relax or get his mind off things.

He sighs heavily as he pondered whether really joining the Galactic Rangers is something he should do. There's always next year, but...Grim had a point. Most never does ever come back from the expedition beyond the Walls. But it's been his dream since he was little.

Ratchets mind was a mess as he was uncertain of which path to take. He hated worrying Grim…

But as he pondered over what he should do, something catches his eye. It looked like a small space shuttle shooting out of space.

Ratchets stands up and the space shuttle happens to crash land nearby. Ratchet hurries over to investigate.

Ratchet arrives to the area where the space shuttle crash landed and forces the shuttle open to see a sleeping robot inside. It was tiny.

But the space shuttle was saying something about exploding in less than ten minutes. Ratchet panics, grabs the tiny robot and uses one of his tools to shoot out an arrow on string that gripped towards the close by cliff, and he made it up just in time before the explosion.

Ratchet lays the robot down in the grass and observes it, hoping it was alright. But suddenly, the robots eyes burst open and the two bumps heads quite hard against each other.

“Ow!!” Ratchet cried as he grabbed his head. “Everyone on this planet are in danger! I must warn the Rangers!” The tiny robot speaks as it stumbles, attempting to walk off. But Ratchet notices how the tiny robots legs are completely out of shape and hurried over to stop it.

“W-Whoa, whoa, who's in danger?” Ratchet ask, not quite catching what the tiny robot just said.

“Everyone on this planet, including you! I have to warn the Rangers!” The tiny Robot continuous to move forward to nearly trip, but Ratchet managed to catch it.

“Hold on, your legs are in bad shape! Lucky for you I'm an mechanic! Listen, how about I bring you back to the garage and fix you up, hm?” Ratchet offers.

“Alright, sounds good. Thank you. But excuse me, what's your name?”

“The names Ratchet.” Ratchet reaches an outstretched hand towards the tiny robot who simply tilt its head in confusion.

“Oh, this is a hand shake. Let me show you how it's done.” Ratchet takes the tiny robots hand into his and very slowly shake hands.

“See? Your getting the hang of it!” Compliments Ratchet. But then the tiny robot continued to shake Ratchets hand without an end.

“Heh, heh...yeah, you could keep shaking I guess.” Chuckled Ratchet.

Ratchet took the tiny robot back to the garage, and just as promised, he fixed up it's legs.

“As good as new!” Smiles Ratchet. “Thank you very much for fixing my broken legs, Ratchet. Is there any way you might be able to take me to the Galactic Rangers? I need to warn them about something absolutely urgent!” The tiny robot spoke up.

“W-Wait, hold on-- the Galactic Rangers?!” Ratchet was a bit taken back.

“Yes, I must meet with their commander at once!” The tiny robot added.

“T-The commander?! L-L-Like Commander Quark?!?!”

“Yes, is that his name? If you can please take me to him. Or at the very least, tell me where I can find him.” The tiny robot remains persistent in finding the leader of the Galactic Rangers.

“B-But… H-Hold up! Not just anyone can meet the Commander Quark!”

“Oh really? Why not?” The tiny robot tilts its head to the side sadly. “Well….Commander Quark is a big and important guy. Not just anyone can request to see him.” Ratchet explains.

“Oh...I see.” The tiny robots eyes narrows sadly. “But why do you need to meet him?” Ratchet asked in curiosity.

“Well...if I don't warn the Galactic Rangers about the threat soon to come, the Wall will be breached.”

“B-Breached?!”

“Yes-- breached by Titans! And I have to warn them immediately before it's too late!”

“B-But...are you actually being serious?!” Ratchet couldn't believe what he was hearing. “Yes, I'm being serious! Will you help me?”

“O-Of course! There's no way I'm going to stand by and do nothing! This is really bad! If we don't do something, if Titans are really going to breach the Walls, thousands will die! I can't let that happen! I'll take you to the rangers, follow me, erm….what's your name?”

Before Ratchet could get straight into action with Clank and warn the Rangers, he just realized one important thing. He hadn't asked the tiny robot for it's name.

“My name? Why my name is XJ-046 B54296” The tiny robot introduces himself gladly.

“Ah...how about I call you Clank for short?”

“Sounds good.” XJ-046 B54296 agrees to his new nickname as Clank.

The two rushes out of the garage to hurry out into the city to find the rangers and to warn them about the lurking danger soon to come.
