Waking much later than the rest Ratchet slowly leaned up and looked around. Had he crashed? No there was no sign of the Aphelion anywhere not even a smocking wreck off in the distance. The Lombax slowly got to his feet continuing to look around, this place wasn't like any planet he'd ever seen. "Hey Clank you got any idea where we are?" He said as he spotted the group of uhh, well he didn't know what a lot of them were but somebody was better than nobody. It took a moment for Ratchet to realize that he'd not gotten a response, at that moment he lost his cool a little. "Clank!?" He'd call out taking a quick look into some nearby bushes. No sign of him. Maybe that flash was the Zoni calling on Clank again? Ratchet went with that idea, time it helped explain all the other weird things that were going on. Though maybe the strangers knew some things he didn't.

Ratchet quickly made his way towards the group of [i]things[/i] a few of them already seemed to be on the move. Taking a closer look at them he didn't recognize a single species, the only ones he could rationalize were the robotic looking ones. There was a taller more sleek looking one that looked like some kind of gladiator, a robot that looked like it was made out of wood and a feminine robot that reminded Ratchet way too much of a psychotic singer he used to know. As for the others he wasn't sure where to start, you had a fat rat looking thing with floppy ears, a gargantuan turtle monster that oddly made Ratchet think of the Argorians. There was a bunch of similar ones that all generally looked like light skinned and decidedly less reptilian Blarg. Aside from the massive turtle none of them looked overly threatening.

"Uhh hey! Wait up!" He called out as she caught up to the group skidding to a stop just behind Bowser and Blazermate. "Uhh hey, any of you got a clue what's going on? Oh and have any of you seen a little robot about this big?" He said holding his hand a bit over half way up his torso.
