Rachet & Clank

Name: Ratchet and Clank

Age: Unknown

Race: Lombax (Ratchet) Sentry Bot (Clank)

Title: The Tag Team Heroes of the Galaxy

Bio: The last known Lombax in the universe, the others having vanished after a war with the Cragmites, Ratchet spent most of his life stranded on a random planet and dreamed to get off. His life changed when he found a crashed spacecraft, its sole pilot being a small robot that Ratchet would dub as "Clank". Working together, the two would go from an unlikely tag-team, to some of the finest warriors in the known galaxy, saving the galaxy from genocidal maniacs to the destruction of time-space.

Special Attacks:

-Omni-Wrench: Ratchet takes his trusted wrench and performs one of three moves...

LIGHT: Slams the wrench on the ground, creating a short-range shockwave around him that can stagger foes, leaving them open to combos.

MEDIUM: Throws the wrench like a boomerang, hitting the opponent multiple times both going out and back to Ratchet.

HEAVY: Extends the wrench to about twice its length, winds up, then shouts "FORE!" as he smashes them away.

-Assist Setup: Ratchet throws a device, which will have a different effect based on the button used.

*Miniturret Glove: Hits the ground and turns into a turret that occasionally fires lasers at the opponent. Easily broken if attacked and will self-destruct after a few seconds.

*Microbot: Hits the ground and "hatches" into a small robot that chases after the opponent. Detonates after a few seconds, damaging any opponent it's close to.

*Barrier: Ratchet plants a device that neutralizes projectiles, breaking after either three direct hits and self-destructing after a few seconds of activity.

-Up Your Arsenal: Ratchet pulls a gun from his endless arsenal.

*Vortex Cannon: Uses gravity-like force to draw the opponent closer, but if the opponent makes contact with Ratchet, they'll be drawn into the cannon and fired to the other side of the stage, damaging them.

*Liquid Nitrogen Gun: Fires a thin stream of energy that freezes the opponent on delivering a direct hit. Can be broken out of if the opponent is attacked or button-mashes free.

*Shock Cannon: Fires a cone of bluish energy that does heavy damage at a close range. Has the option to charge it up to fire a stage-spanning beam of energy.

-Clank: Ratchet hurls Clank at the enemy in an arch pattern. If he hits the ground, Clank will remain on the ground for a few second, then get up and hurry back to Ratchet. If he hits the opponent, he'll land a flying kick on them before bouncing off them and latching onto Ratchet's back.

--Tag-Team Bowl: Follow-up to "Clank", where Ratchet can catch Clank after the ricochet effect of the attack. He'll bowl Clank at the opponent, the robot rolling forward a distance before rising up to perform a Shoryuken-style uppercut. Afterward, he'll scurry back to Ratchet.

Flight: Using Clank as a jetpack, Ratchet can fly through the air while still having access to most of his special moves.

Throws

FORWARD: Ratchet slams his wrench down on the opponent's foot, causing them to hop up and down, then Clank jumps up to slam his metal body into their forehead, knocking them on their back.

BACKWARD: Ratchet holds the opponent's hands behind their back as Clank springs off his back and plants a kick in their face, causing them to trip over a now-ducking Ratchet.

Super Moves

-RYNO 5: Ratchet pulls out a multi-barrel gun and, all to the theme of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, fires an explosive barrage of machine gun fire and rockets to the point that he even starts losing control via the gun's cartoonishly-large recoil. After a few seconds of extended fire, Ratchet will cease and sigh in relief as he stashes it away.

-Disco Beat: Ratchet pulls a new cannon and fires it at the opponent. If it lands a direct hit, it's revealed to be a disco ball that hangs in the air, causing the opponent to groove to a sudden change in music. In time, the disco ball stops, flashes, then explodes, causing massive damage to the opponent as they fly into the air and fall back to the ground with a crash.

FATALITIES:

-Nut Loose: Ratchet takes his Omni-Wrench and clamps it down on the opponent's face. He then twirls nimbly on the opponent's head, using the Omni-Wrench to twist their head in circles until it comes off with a "snap". As he holds it up like a trophy, Clank peers over his shoulder at it and winces.

-Batter Up: Ratchet takes the Omni-Wrench and makes a graceful, twisting jump, winding back for a good, strong strike, then takes a swipe at the opponent's head. The impact smashes their nose in and breaks a few of their teeth, all in detailed slow motion. When he lands, he follows up with another windup and jumps in the air to slam the wrench down on their head, popping their eyeball out. Too shocked to make a noise from the pain, the opponent falls backward while Ratchet deftly throws the wrench into the air and catches it before clipping it to his belt.

Intro: Ratchet walks in, tossing his Omni-Wrench up and catching it when it comes down, Clank at his side. The two look at each other, nod, then Clank latches onto Ratchet's back, the Lombax taking a combat position soon after.

Outro: Ratchet pumps his fist as Clank detaches from his back and flips to land in front of him. The two then high-five and take a "bold and combat-ready" pose for the camera.

(vs. Kirby) (Ratchet) "Well, there goes any doubt I had about the guy." (Clank) "I should remind you that size and appearance can be deceptive, Ratchet."

(vs. Iron Man) (Ratchet) "Geez, and I thought Al was the biggest nerd." (Clank) "I don't think he'd approve of that, Ratchet."

(vs. Pit) (Ratchet) "This guy had a LOT of weapons." (Clank) "Impressive, if a bit on the medieval side."

(vs. Wario) (Ratchet) "So, what's on your mind, Clank?" (Clank) "That we both could use a long, hot wash."

(vs. Green Lantern) (Ratchet) "Hey, Clank, think that ring'd make a good power-source?" (Clank) "Probably, but I feel some beings might not like the idea."

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Prologue: All across the universe, multiple portals to another dimension were opening up, Captain Qwark, the "greatest hero in the galaxy" was one of the first to take some action. And, by that, he called on Ratchet and Clank to be his sacrificial lambs-er...his chosen champions. Mentally groaning at Qwark's unrepentant buffoonery, Ratchet and Clank ventured forth in their spaceship, flew through a portal...and crash-landed in the middle of nowhere. With no connections to their home-dimension, Ratchet and Clank had to take with them their go-to weapons and rely on their teamwork and survival skills to get through the trials of Death Battle.

Rival Cutscene:

(All appears peaceful on a tropical island-based world, until a spaceship comes tearing across the sky, two screams audible over the noise. With an almighty "CRASH", the ship hits the sandy shore, smoke emitting from its hull. The cockpit opens and Ratchet, still shaky in the legs, stumbles out.)

Ratchet: (dazed) Well...managed to get this far. (sits down) I guess that's something.

(Clank clambers out of the cockpit and takes a tumble off the ship to land in the sand. He picks himself up and dusts himself off before plopping down next to Ratchet.)

Clank: Well, at least we've still got all our components together.

(Ratchet, shakily, gets back to his feet, takes a deep breath, then looks at Clank.)

Ratchet: Well, nothing else to do but keep looking and hope there are some spare parts to fix this baby. C'mon, Clank. Let's get goin'.

(Clank stands up and jogs up to walk alongside Ratchet.)

Clank: Ratchet, do you have the feeling that we might have been here before?

Ratchet: Well...kinda. I vaguely remember a pointy-eared guy with green hair and a weasel on his shoulder.

Clank: That is what has been stirring in my memory banks as well.

???: YOU!

(Both Ratchet and Clank whirl around, then duck as someone races by on a hoverboard. The rider makes a wide turn, then comes back and jumps off, revealing just that "pointy-eared guy" and "weasel" that Ratchet was talking about.)

Clank: Ah. Now it's all coming back to me.

(Daxter clambers off Jak's shoulder and points at the two.)

Daxter: So! We meet again, you miserable cheats! We totally had you with that time-freeze, so how'd you do it?

Clank: I'm afraid you wouldn't believe me if I told you...Mister Weasel.

Daxter: (freezes in anger, then eyes narrow) You call me that...AGAIN?

Ratchet: (crosses arms, smugly) I think he just did.

Jak: Keep a lid on it, Daxter. We're here for a reason. Win. Move on. And defeat the one behind all this reality warping!

Ratchet: Tell ya what? You can fight and get your butt handed to you like last time, or you can hand over that hoverboard so I can use its parts to repair my ship. I'm personally leaning more towards the latter.

Daxter: What? And get rid of our fastest way to get around? Not in this lifetime, mister...um...whatever the heck you are!

Ratchet: Lombax.

Daxter: Thank you. Now, get ready, Mr. Lombax! 'Cuz I'm gonna (eyes dart back and forth) let JAK teach you a lesson you won't forget!

Ratchet: (shrugs) I warned ya. Ready for a rematch, Clank?

Clank: It really seems I've got no choice in the matter. I guess I could. Maybe Mister Weasel will actually do something for once. Hehehehehe...

(Ratchet takes Clank and slings him onto his back as he pulls out his Omni-Wrench, while Daxter makes a graceful leap onto Jak's shoulder, Jak's fists clenching as he readies for combat. Fade to black.)

Ending: Upon their return to their home-universe, Ratchet and Clank were welcomed back by Captain Qwark, who immediately tried to take all the credit for himself. The press, however, seemed to see right past him and held a celebration for the real hero. In one fateful parade, Clank was praised as a great hero and promised another "Secret Agent Clank" film. Ratchet, from the driver's seat of the show-car, could only continue driving down the road deprived of glory he at least deserved a share of.
