We cut to the planet and the ship is seen falling through the sky, all three of our friends are screaming as the ship crashes into a wall and explodes and they all fall on the floor

"Ow... when i learn to fly a ship I'll be driving next time so we don't crash.." Spike said a little annoyed.

"Ugh fair point" Ratchet responded a little weakly they then noticed someone was missing.

"Clank where are you?" Spike asked while they looked around for him

"I'm right here" Clanks voice is muffled and they see he's right under Ratchet which made him quickly get up.

"Oh sorry!"" Ratchet said getting off him.

"Well were not leaving the way we came in" Ratchet said a little embarrassed

"Yeah, the thing looked like it could barely hold together after we entered anyway" Spike said shaking his head

"Perhaps we can procure a ship from one of the inhabitants" Clank suggested, and we see there is fire and ships shooting at multiple buildings

"If there are any left" Ratchet said as clank hoped on his back like a backpack, and Spike stood by his side as they got ready to go.

"Let's just see if we can find someone who could help us" Spike suggested which Ratchet agreed with, and they soon made they're way to the nearest platform to take them around the place.

Spike and Ratchet had made they're way down a floating platform only to be greeted with more robots and dangerous wildlife, it was a lot like what happened on Veldin, and judging by what's happened here, this is likely gonna be common
"I take it every planet we go to is gonna have some of these guys?" Spike asked while looking at Ratchet who nodded in response.

"Yeah, we'll probably get used to it" Ratchet said pulling out his wrench for a fight while Spike just sighed and took out one of the few weapons he does have now.

" Alright, lets get this going then." Spike said a little upset that he had to fight as he pulled out his bomb glove.

it wasn't to much of a hustle to do, Ratchet took care of the robots and Spike took care of what looked like, Robot Bees? Spike didn't really know, he was able to blow them away and they all were defeated
"That felt like it took a shorter time then normally" Spike said a little tired from all that fighting they just did.

"Yeah lets try to get to the other side of that river" Ratchet pointed as he pointed to the other side.

"I see a bridge just over there, lets go" Clank pointed out and the others agreed to it.

They had to fight their way through some more robots and spike saw ratchet smash some crates.
"Why are you doing that?" Spike asked confused

"These crates contain bolts, which is what we need to buy weapons and ammo" Ratchet explained

"They use bolts as money here, this galaxy is really weird" Spike thought as they continued, they arrived at the bridge but
some ships fly by and destroy a few parts of it destroying a few robots as well which surprised them seeing how reckless they were here.

"Geez! do these guys even care about their own soldiers?!" Spike asked with shock seeing them be dealt with like that.

"They are merely disposable pieces of metal, so they couldn't care less" Clank answered while Spike

"That's harsh" Spike said and Ratchet just shrugged it off before they kept they're .

They fought their way through more robots across the other side of the river, they then saw a ship surrounded by robots coming down.
"There must be something or someone on that ship that could help us" Spike suggested

"Yeah, lets check it out" Ratchet agreed and they moved forward, the robots attempted to blast them but Spike and Ratchet were able to avoid them, Spike used his fire breath and took out most of them at once.

"Wow, thats quite the range for someone so young." Ratchet said surprised as he finished off the last robot.

"I must agree, you are an interesting creature Spik
e" Clank said a little surprised as well.

Before spike could say anything however, the door of the ship opened and they saw what looks like an old man with another Info bot looking really terrified.

"Don't hurt me, don't hurt me! What are you mercenaries? torturers? I'll tell you anything, here take this Info Bot it's all i got left" he said really scared and the robot came up to them.

"Sir we're not assassins " Clank said just before Ratchet interrupted to see what that info bot could have.

"Hold on! let's see what he's got!" Ratchet said wanting to know what the bot had on it.

"I guess we should at least see what that bot has. Spike said as he wanted to tell the man they didn't want to hurt him, but they should just watch this video first to see what it has.

It then proceed to show them an ad of Captain Qwark promoting an add for a place called " Al's Robo Schack" He explains it all to them but barely lets Al himself be in the video as he was both nervous and they didn't care probably.
"So if your fighting crime or just fighting grime, come to Al's Robo Shack in Metropolis for all your robotic repairs" Qwark said on the video

"Al's robo shack, it's Qwarktastic!" He said as the name appeared on the screen and it faded to black.

"That was both weird and surprisingly a good ad" Spike said as he was still confused on the commercial.

"Did know what this means?" Clank asked as the robot went into a container Clank had.

"Yeah Qwark is really sold out" Ratchet said making Spike chuckle a little.

"No it means Captain Qwark is on Metropolis, we could tell him about this invasion." Clank corrected while Spike had his arms crossed.

"If we had a ship" Ratchet reminded as they're own ship is pretty much destroyed
"Do we even know how long it's been since that video was shot? it could have been weeks since it was taken?" Spike suggested as he's still learning about how things work around
"Spike's right, he might not even be there, but Al might have an idea on where he went" Ratchet suggested.

"What? a ship? Your not torture me? " He asked with surprise hearing that.

"No we won't we just need a ship to get out of here" Spike assured him much to his relief.

"Thank you young man, Well as planetary Chairman I could arrange for you to borrow our Courier ship." He said as a green ship came down where the platform was next to a large building.

"Cool!" Ratchet replied with an excited look.

"You can count on us sir" Clank assured while Spike gave an assuring nod

"Right thank you your Chairman Shipliness" Ratchet said and Spike looked at him

"Dude really" Spike asked with a raised eyebrow with how weird that sounded.

"What? I couldn't think of anything else to say." Ratchet said in defense which Spike just brushed off, and after looking at the building nearby, they had a feeling something else could be there that could help.

"Before we go why don't we check what that large building is over there, it might have something we could use" Spike suggested which
"He's right, there might be" Clank said in aggreement which Ratchet saw no harm in doing.

They then proceeded to make their way back to the platform next to the ship
They went into a building and had to go through and obstacle course of machines that helped the building work and jump over ledges and eventually they made their way to someone who was working

"Dag blast it!" He said as he was bent down and working on something while he was turned away from them which Ratchet chuckled at.

"Look Plumbers crack" Ratchet joked and Spike slightly chuckle a bit.

"What did you just say?!" He asked with an upset tone after turning to face them.

"I said, look the Plumbers back" Ratchet backpaddled and said something else.

"Alright wise guy, shouldn't you be on an escape transport?" He asked while looking out the window.

"Escape transports?" Ratchet asked

"Newsflash! Giant robots attacking! they're taking all the rich folks off this planet" He informed while they could still see robots attacking the city nearby.

"We have a ship already, how come you can't leave?" Spike asked confused on why he has to work here still..

" Socio economic asperity." He answered which was still confusing to them.

"What?" Spike and Ratchet both asked confused

"He hasn't got enough Bolts" Clank explained.

"Working people have to wait for Captain Qwark to save us." He informed which did explain things a bit better.

"Well you got anything worth a lot of Bolts?" Ratchet asked.

" I got this thing, it shows to weirdos ditching their ship, got coordinates to a desert planet to" He said pulling out an Info Bot

"We could use something like that" Spike suggested and Ratchet agreed too, and Ratchet payed enough bolts and he gave them it, he then proceeded and jumped down a pipe full of water.

"Geronimo!" He shouted as he landed down and slid down it which Ratchet was a bit disgusted at.

"Did he just slide down a sewer pipe? Ratchet asked a little disgusted.

"Looks like that's are way back too." Spike replied looking grossed out too, and soon the info bot floated up to them, and opened up to show them another video that could be important.

The video then showed them two guys being attacked by rockets that were coming from the planet, the guy on the right dismissed it as fire work display but one of the rockets hit them and they proceeded to escape right before the rocket hit them.

"Did you see that guy on the left? That was Skid mc Marx!" Ratchet pointed out while looking excited

"Does he know Qwark?" Clank asked hopefully.

"Doubt it, but he's a pro hoverboarder, always going of about how "Cool" he is" Ratchet said while exaggerating at the last part.

"Geez looks like they both need help!" Spike said with worry after seeing them eject for they're own safety.

"I agree, they both look like they're in trouble" Clank replied while looking worried for his safety too.

"I'll say, i've never seen him so freaked out" Ratchet replied while Spike looked back at the

"Let's get back to the ship and head to Metropolis first, we could use something from Al's that could help us" Spike suggested which they all agreed too.

They jumped down to the pipe like the plumber did but it was actually fun.
"That was surprisingly really cool!" Spike said a little exited, but after thinking about it for a moment, he then sniffed himself, and gagged as he remembered it WAS a sewer pipe after all.

" Ugh gonna need a shower later." Spike said with disgust while Ratchet did the same, and was just as disgusted with the smell.

"Yeah, i will too, but let's focus on heading to Metropolis first, come on, lets head out." Ratchet declared as they went to they're new ship and got inside it, and soon they took off into space again to see what they can find there, and hoped it could help them stop Drek soon.
