3 years after the events of crack in time. A special type of shield generator is being made. ratchet and clank are asked to help protect it for if it falls into the wrong hands then the results would be catastrophic.
As ratchet and clank are walking...
Ratchet had tackled the thief and pulled her helmet off. Ratchet gasped as the helmet dropped.
Their she was.
Alexis azimuth.
"Ratch! What was that for!" alexis yelled as she forced him off her. "L-lex?" Ratchet asked stuttered "uh. Yeah it's me. Why is that such a shock?" She sarcastically asked "how has nefarious helped you?!" Ratchet yelled "he's helping me find my old man!" Alexis retorted everyone seemed to freeze. They realized that alexis didn't know.
Her dad was never coming back.
"Enough about me now. I have a deal to finish. Boys take 'em!" Alexis shouted and the fighting started again. As it progressed ratchet got hit in the back of the head with some dart and went out like a light.
The next thing ratchet knew he was in some cell. Just a small window for a sliver of light to get into, bars(duh), and a wood plank with ratchet was laying held up by 2 chains to the wall. He looked around and soon heard humming then some song.
"The monster runnin wild inside of me!"
Ratchet sat up. Where was he? "Hello?" He cautiously said then a familiar armored lombax warped in.

"Good your awake. I was worried that the trank was to strong. Guess not." She sighed "take off that stupid helmet lex. I know who you are." Ratchet said
"Do you?" She teased
Alexis tipped her head down and took off her helmet. She swept her black bangs away from her face. Her green eyes seemingly glowed in the unlit cell then footsteps.
"Ah you've fought well. For a squishy. You should be happy. I'll be sure to make your end as painful as possible." Dr nefarious said from the other side of the bars. Alexis shifted her weight from one foot to the next. "Come on doc all that work for nothing?" Alexis warped to the other side of the bars. "I lived up to my end of the bargain. Now live up to yours." Alexis said "I think not."
Then alexis started to fidget
"I won't let have control over me any more." She forced out "but I think you will." Nefarious pressed a button and alexis fell to her knees grabbing her head. Nefarious started to cackle "I'll let you get your head back on azimuth." And he left. Ratchet went to the edge of his cell he could almost reach her. Alexis was panting on the ground her hands soon dropped to the floor to stabilize her. Her breathing slowed and she turned around her eyes back to their original blue.
"Ratchet..? Help me."
"I will lex. But I gotta get outta here first." Ratchet said softly alexis slowly got up using her omnistaff to balance her. She opened the cell door. After that ratchet ran to her and hugged her. Alexis hugged back her arms around his neck. A silent plea for her to be picked up. In which ratchet granted. "Is clank here? And where is here?" He asked while looking for a way out. "The little robot? No he's not here. And we're on reya. My quote on quote ship is-" she shuttered "just down the hall." Ratchet nodded and gently squeezed her to tell her it would be ok. After lots of sneaking around they got to alexis's ship "it's really mine. I'll pick it clean in case nefarious messed with it." Alexis mumbled she was almost asleep "shh. Rest I'll get you home." Ratchet said as he put her down. Alexis fell asleep as soon ad ratchet put her down. They started flying ratchet wondered how long it would take till nefarious noticed them gone.
