Ratchet and Clank: Up your Arsenal:
A few years later, the two are found playing a game when they watch a news report about Veldin being under attack by a race known as the Tyrannoids. Ratchet and Clank then decide to leave Bogon and go back to the Solana Galaxy. When they arrive on Veldin, Ratchet is made the Sergeant of the Galactic Rangers. They fight off the tyrannoids and are given coordinates about the whereabouts of Captain Qwark. Apparently, he had fled to the jungle planet named Florana. Once the duo arrive, they quickly find the chief of the tribe. In order to speak with him, they must complete a deathcourse. When they finished, the chief was revealed to be Captain Qwark. However, he had the intelligence of a monkey for being in the jungle for far too long. Ratchet and Clank capture him and recieve a call from the Starship Phoenix. Sasha, the captain tells the two to bring in Qwark. They do and are able to refresh Qwarks memory, putting him back to normal. After a few mission, Qwark is put in charge to stop Dr. Nefarious, the mastermind behind these attacks. It is later revealed that Nefarious plans on turning the entire galaxy into robots. Ironically, Nefarious used to be an organic life-form before Qwark stopped him the first time years before now. Ratchet and Clank find out that Nefarious fulfills turning people into robots by using a wepaon called the Biobliterator. They acquire intel that it was refueling at a space port. The duo make their way to the planet and find that an Ion cannon used for defense purposes was capable of destroying the Biobliterator. Clank takes control of the cannon and eliminates the weapon. However, they are faced with a new problem as Nefarious was secretly constructing a more powerful version of the Biobliterator. They find it and face off against Nefarious. After Ratchet and Clank defeat Nefarious and the new weapon, they find that Nefarious was vaproized in the explosion. That was not the case. Lawrence, Nefairous' butler, had teleported the two to a distant asteroid. They are then stuck on it for 'five or ten thousand years'.
Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction:
Ratchet and Clank now live in the bustling city of metropolis in the Polaris Galaxy. One day, they received a call from Qwark that 'heavily armed commandos' were attacking the defense center. The two discover that the last known Cragmite named Tachyon was seeking to kill Ratchet. Accroding to Tachyon, the Lombax's were the ones responsible for the obliteration of the Cragmites. However, the Lombax's had disappeared years ago, Ratchet was the last known Lombax as well. Later, you discover the past of Ratchet's species. They were a great race capable of many great things, these included inventing weapons and gadgets. When the Cragmites attacked POlaris the Lombax's created a wepaon that wiped out the entire race, except for Tachyon. now, he seeks this "Lombax Secret" for his own use. It is later revelaed that the secret was a device called the Dimensionator. It was used to destroy the Cragmites and also send the Lombax's into another dimension. tachyon finally finds it and tempts ratchet to join his race after so many years of separation (ever since Kaden, Ratchet's father, sent him to Veldin as an infant).

Forgot some details...
After you meet Tachyon, you arrive at the Apogee Space Station; the supposed location of the Lombax Secret. However when the duo arrive, they find two war bots named Cronk and Zephyr and a Markazian female named Talwyn Apogee. She provides great assistance as she knows a great amount from her father, Max Apogee. According to her, a Lombax named Kaden gave her father the secret to hide. Kaden, is Ratchet's father. After Ratchet, Clank, Talwyn, Cronk, and Zephyr locate Tachyon with the weapon, he then tempts Ratchet with joining the other Lombax's in their dimension. Ratchet declines and kills Tachyon, however he destroys the weapon in the process. As the group were just hanging around, three odd creatures appeared out of no where. They were the Zoni. As they appeared, they took Clank, calling him 'the master'.
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time:
Ratchet is now found wandering the galaxy with Captain Qwark as they try to find Clank. As the two are flying through and unknown area, Aphelion, Ratchet's ship and the last remaining Lombax artifact, is hit with an EMP. They crash land on the planet below, but are quick to discover some odd things. They crash head first into a time anomaly. Everything on the inside was frozen in time. Ratchet and Qwark get out of Aphelion and quickly locate the local tribe known as the Fongoids. They provide Ratchet with info about the Zoni and Clank's possible whereabouts. Ratchet receives a small container capable of catching wandering Zoni. In turn, they would provide Aphelion with upgrades. As Ratchet uses the Zoni to repair Aphelion, they start their trip to find 'the mercenary'. Ratchet quickly finds him on a trash filled planet. The mercenary turns out to be a Lombax named Alister Azimuth. However he is no ordinary Lombax, he was the leading General in the Lombax Praetorian Guard. Not only that, but he and Kaden (Ratchet's father) were great friends. The two then find out that Clank was in a mythical place called the Great Clock. A device so large and dangerous. The purpose was to stabilize time and keep it from collapsing. Alister then tells Ratchet that they could use it to turn back time and stop the Lombax atrocity that took Ratchet's parent's lives. The Zoni are responsible for the construction of the Great Clock, along with Clank's father.
The story then switches to Clank's view. Before Ratchet crashes on the Fongoid planet, Clank is found being examined by none other than Dr. Nefarious inside the Great Clock. He seeks to enter the Orvus Chamber, the main control center of the Great Clock. Nefarious plans on using the clock to rewind time and kill Ratchet. However, the only way in is to extract data from Clank. He fails and Clank escapes. Nefarious then flees with Lawrence. It is later revealed that the one responsible for the Great Clock was a Zoni named Orvus. Orvus is also the creator of Clank, meaning he was never intended to be one of the large guards back in Solana. The Junior Caretaker of the Clock, Sigmund, then trains Clank as the new Senior Caretaker, as Orvus had been missing for some time.
Ratchet and Azimuth, after they learn of the Clock, then find a way to contact it. Ratchet uses the Obsidian Eye and finally finds Clank. Ratchet then learns that Alister was responsible for the Lombax disaster. According to him, Tachyon offered to develop technology for the Lombax's. Alsiter granted him the use, but Tachyon turned against them and nearly exterminated the Lombax's. Thankfully, the Dimensionator was used to save the Lombax's. The reason for Kaden's death was simple. He stayed behind to protect the device from Tachyon while everyone fled to the new dimension. As Kaden escaped, he gave the Demensionator to Max Apogee, who later hid it somewhere else. Kaden is eventually killed as Tachyon hunted him down. It is said that Tachyon planned on hunting the rest of the remaining Lombax's but was stopped by Ratchet. The only known alive are Angela and Alister.
Later, the two find that Nefarious was close to getting the Orvus Chamber. Ratchet and Clank, now reunited after Ratchet saved him from Nefarious, head to Nefarious's space station. The two confront him and defeat him with ease. However, Lawrence set the station to self destruct. Nefarious was basically broken and could not tell ratchet how to dis engage the destruction. As if all was lost for the two, Alister arrives and save the two seconds before the station detonates. Ratchet takes Alister and Clank to the Great Clock. However, Clank tells about how the Great Clock is not a time machine and therefore can not fix the Lombax incident. Ratchet agrees with Clank and offers to walk him inside. Alister, however, did not agree at all. He was hell bent on saving the Lombax's as he was responsible for the deaths of many. Ratchet ignores his cries.
"Where are you going?! This is your responsibility! YOU CAN'T WALK AWAY FROM YOUR RACE! STOP! I... SAID... STOOOP!" Alister yells.
Ratchet turns around and is hit by Alister's wrench blast. Ratchet falls off the edge of the platform, lifeless. Clank, unable to comprehend what he had witnessed, runs for the Orvus Chamber. Sigmund, arrives and tries to distract Alister while Clank tries to close the Chamber. He is successful and runs up to the master switch. He recalls several words spoken to him. One that caught his attention was 'I wouldnt waste no more than six minutes.'. Clank takes this into account and pulls the switch back, activating a time rift to appear over the entire Clock. The rift then rewinds time back a full six minutes, just before Ratchet is hit by Alister. Clank saves Ratchet and the two head to the chamber with the same goal. However, Alister makes it there first and pulls the master switch, activating a full time rift over the Universe. Ratchet then fights Alister. After Alister falls to Ratchet, the Great Clock starts to fall apart. Ratchet attempts to pull the switch back to normal, but the handle breaks. Alister, seeing his mistake, decides to take the fall and attaches his wrench to the base. He then pushes and is successful with putting the switch back to normal. Just after he does so, he tells Ratchet to take care of himself. A large explosion occurs, taking the life of Alister. Ratchet, saddened by the loss of the only other Lombax, knells and thanks Alister. Ratchet then moves on with his life as Clank decides to stay at the clock while Ratchet travels the cosmos as the hero he is. But, just as Ratchet was about to leave, Clank promotes Sigmund to Senior Care taker and jumps inside Aphelion. The two the take off and continue their adventures.
