Across the universe

dust and scrap metal

Veldin. A small desert planet in the Solana galaxy. Ratchet always felt at home here, having grown up here for as long as he could remember. After years of helping the galactic rangers, and saving the universe time and time again, he was finally able to get some time off and relax. Although he would mostly be alone for a while. Clank had decided to stay at galactic ranger HQ to help with some tech issues they had been having.

Ratchet carefully climbed up to the roof of his garage, having memorized the safest way up, and then sat down near the edge. He looked up at the night sky and admired how many stars were out tonight. He slowly layed down, smiling softly as he continued to stare up at the starry night sky, enjoying the beautiful view.

From the corner of his eye, ratchet would notice a bright orange glare, quickly sitting up and seeing it was a falling ship. Before he had time to get up, it quickly zoomed past and crashed into one of the canyons. "Holy shit.." he whispered to himself as he quickly used his swingshot to swing back down to the ground, making his way over to the canyon where the ship landed.

Ratchet took no time at all making it to the large canyon as he would see the ship at the bottom, some parts scattered everywhere and a small fire on the exterior of the ship. He slowly and carefully made his way down, waiting until he touched the ground then made a dash for the ship. He would look through the cockpit glass, seeing what looked like.. another Lombax...

Ratchet was suprised, but noticed that he was unconscious. So he quickly took his omniwrench off his back, and used it to pry the cockpit open. Being able to take a better look at the other lombax, Ratchet noticed it a more slender physique with black fur and golden stripes. He carefully lifted the Lombax up and layed him down on the ground.

Ratchet was alittle nervous, hoping he was ok. So he carefully placed his ear against the lombax's chest, looking for a heartbeat. As soon as he heard the thumping sound of his heard, Ratchet sighed in relief, and carefully picked him up, making his way back to his garage.
