Ratchet: Dark Journey

We all know the origin stories of Ratchet and Clank as presented in the games of the Ratchet & Clank franchise. And we have come to love these two great characters because of those games. But what of other dimensions? What of alternate, parallel dimensions, where those origins may have played out differently? And of events which came after?

Now have a look into the origins of a very different Ratchet, from a dimension where good is evil and evil is good. Where we get to know a bit more about the sinister parallel of Ratchet I first introduced in my fanfiction "Facets, Book 1: What Is And What Should Never Be".

Prepare for a very different take on our favorite lombax hero! It will start out pretty similar to the early events of the 2002 Ratchet & Clank game, but it's not going to stay that way for very long!

6/19/21 - sorry that the first chapter went *poof* folks! Somehow, only half of the chapter actually posted and there were other glitches. Those have been fixed! Thanks for your patience!
