Ratchet & Clank Page #6

I should've stayed to

fix it and see it through.

Eh. We've all

made bad choices.

Here, check it out.

My cadet photo.

Really?

That's how we're playing?

Okay, uh, there's no need

to embarrass anyone here.

Okay, everyone,

chill out!

We have a job to do,

and I need to

start shooting

at something immediately.

Well, before we

just go off and start

shooting at things,

I was thinking that...

Yeah, get some.

That's what

I'm talking about.

Forget it.

No, wait. Go on.

I think we need to hear

what you both have to say.

Well, while we can't

move a planet

out of the way...

I was thinking,

what if we could

move the weapon

targeting that planet?

Move the Deplanetizer?

Knock it off course.

Okay. Awesome.

And just how

are we going to do that?

Not sure yet.

But I'm working on it.

Hmm.

I might have an idea.

So after you pick up

my dry cleaning,

you need to polish

the Segway,

and after that...

Drek, I want to talk to you.

You tried to kill my Rangers!

You said

you'd leave them alone!

And I meant it at the time!

I detest bloodshed

as much as any Blarg,

but sometimes,

sacrifices are necessary

for the greater good.

I know you're working

with Nefarious on this.

Yes, isn't it wonderful?

We're all part of

the same dream team.

We should

make T-shirts!

You're making a big mistake.

You have no idea

the kinds of evil

he's capable of.

Oh, but I do.

It's all right here

on his rsum.

Special skills...

Horrendous evil.

Unspeakable evil.

Diabolical evil.

He's very well-rounded.

And apparently,

he can juggle. Hmm.

Oh-oh!

Do I feel my ears burning?

And there's

our little juggling

psychopath now!

You died in a prison escape.

There were witnesses.

Oh.

People will say and do

just about anything

for the right price.

What was yours, Qwark?

What was your price

for selling out your friends?

Your face on another

cereal box, perhaps?

Why don't you run along

so the Chairman and I

can get back to

the business at hand?

But what am I supposed to do?

You can guard

the Star Cracker

water cooler.

Oh! But with fury!

Mmm-hmm.

That was fun!

And T-shirts

would be a good idea.

Good for morale.

What do you think, Neffie?

Should we...

Sheepinator.

One of my personal favorites.

It's time for

a change of management.

Huh? Uh-oh...

Okay, let's do this!

We only got so much

time to get it all done.

Use that,

whatever that's called.

That's good. Okay.

Right. Over here.

Keep bringing it on in,

ratcheting it on up,

electrifying everything.

Make sure

everything's got electricity

running through it,

at least a little bit.

That's good, too.

Whatever that is,

you're doing great.

Okay.

Hey, everybody!

Get in here now!

Uh, please.

You're not going

to believe this.

We finally decoded

the Deplanetizer plans.

We found his next target.

It's Umbris.

Well, at least

he picked an empty planet

this time.

Yes, however,

it is a volatile planet.

Its core is made up

of pure melluvium.

Blowing it up will result

in a chain reaction

that will destroy

the entire system.

But why would Drek do that?

I thought he was trying to

build the perfect planet?

Well, because Umbris

wasn't Drek's idea.

Duh!

What do you mean?

It's Nefarious.

Dr. Nefarious?

No, Steve Nefarious.

Of course it's Dr. Nefarious!

Oh, yeah, funny how

you didn't mention that

when I was dangling you

over the edge of a building.

Well, you didn't ask,

now did you?

Okay, that's it.

I'm shooting him.

What? Don't shoot him.

I am confused.

I thought Nefarious was dead.

Only on the inside.

Otherwise,

he's very much...

Alive!

Okay, shoot him.

You wanted New Quartu?

Huh?

I'll give it to you.

Happy trails!

Now entering

Umbris atmosphere.

Yes, it's almost here.

The beginning of the end.

The end of what?

Let the games begin.

Remote detonation

now activated.

It is about to get real.

We're as close as we can get

without being spotted.

Okay,

so what's the plan, Elaris?

Go on. We're listening.

Well, I've been hard at work

on a little something called

the Hologuise.

It'll project a visual

and audible replication

of Captain Qwark so realistic,

it would fool his own mother.

With Ratchet posing as Qwark,

they'll dock with

the Deplanetizer

by easily fooling

the simpleminded Blarg.

Yes, Captain.

What can I do you for?

Greetings, citizen.

Just returning from patrol.

Copy that.

Deactivating shield grid 24 A.

Once inside,

Ratchet and Clank

will make their way

through the Star Cracker

chamber to the inner core.

When Ratchet

exposes the stabilizer,

it can quickly

be disconnected...

Yes. Got it.

Meanwhile,

Clank will disable

all the other weapons

by hacking

into the mainframe.

Weapons system disabled.

Leaving the Deplanetizer

completely vulnerable

to any outside forces.

Warning. Warning.

Core stabilizer offline.

Run away! Everybody panic!

Warning. Warning.

What's happening?

Warning.

Core stabilizer offline.

Dr. Nefarious, sir...

I mean, Doctor!

Where are you going?

Me? Nowhere.

Certainly not out of

a system-wide blast radius.

What?

What?

We've been infiltrated.

The Galactic Rangers

are trying to shut down

the Deplanetizer,

and I can't find

Chairman Drek anywhere!

Ah!

You want something done right,

you have to do it yourself.

Warning. Warning.

Huh?

Core stabilizer offline.

Everybody panic!

Ratchet...

And we're clear.

All units, move in.

Yeah!

Way to go, you guys!

Ratchet!

Greetings, Cadet.

Captain Qwark,

on behalf of

the Galactic Rangers,

I'm placing you under arrest.

You can't do that.

I'll just arrest you

right back!

On what charge?

False arrest?

Being annoying? Who cares?

You stabbed your own team

in the back, Qwark!

Just like you

stabbed me in the back,

taking my fans,

my sponsors, my lucrative

endorsement deals,

my parking space!

You were my hero.

Now you're no better

than Nefarious!

How dare you.

I am way better-looking

than Nefarious!

I'm taking you in.

By force, if necessary.

Oh, wittle wombax

with a wittle gun!

Huh.

Qwark, stop!

You don't want to do this!

Don't tell me

what I want to do!

On your left, Ratchet.

Now your right.

Huh?

Enough, Qwark!

Whoa!

Nefarious is tricking you!

He wants you to destroy

the entire system!

Oh, that's right,

you know everything.

Uh-oh!

Hey, why don't we all

just listen to Ratchet?

Ratchet, look out!

Whoa!

Oh, my.

Buzz Blades? I taught

you better than that!

Some of it got in my mouth!

It's in my mouth!

He's just too good.

Oh, dear.

Whoa!

Clank!

Tornado Launcher!

Nefarious may be

a homicidal lunatic,

but he sure can build a gun.

Qwark, please!

You're not a villain!

You're not like Nefarious.

This isn't you,

and you know it!

If Umbris is destroyed,

everyone will die,

including us!

Is that how you

want to be remembered?

I'm... I'm sorry.

I don't know how

things got this far.

This is just pathetic!

Nefarious.

Give it up. It's over.

As head of

the Galactic Rangers, uh,
