* Returning to Veldin at nighttime, Ratchet and Clank battle through waves of Drek's forces on their way to the Deplanetizer, during which they find another platform that once again turns Clank giant. The two find Drek, who's decided to forgo any further minions and now pilots a large battle mech in an effort to deal with them himself. After a short fight, Drek shrinks Clank back to normal size and takes off for the Deplanetizer, with Ratchet and Clank following and fighting him the whole way. Once they land on the Deplanetizer, Clank pleads with Drek to consider another way to make a new home for his people, and in response, Drek reveals his true intent to repeatedly destroy the new planets he makes to get richer and richer, which angers and disgusts Clank. Drek presses multiple activation switches on the Deplanetizer, forcing Ratchet and Clank to deactivate the platform repeatedly as they fight him.
* Eventually, Drek's mech is catapulted onto the section of the Deplanetizer that pivots the laser, forcing Drek to dislodge himself before it hits him. This causes him to careen out of control and crash-land onto his planet. Ratchet and Clank notice the laser now points toward said planet instead of Veldin and take advantage of the situation, activating it and destroying the planet-- and Drek-- completely. However, debris from the planet rains down onto Veldin, with one such rock exploding in front of them, sending them flying off the Deplanetizer. Clank grabs a beam of the platform, and Ratchet grabs onto him in turn, but the Lombax's weight ends up damaging the servos in Clank's left arm, leaving it barely operable and forcing him to let them both fall. At the moment before impact, Clank uses his Thruster-Pack to fly into Ratchet horizontally, negating their downward momentum and allowing them to land in relative safety.
* After Ratchet thanks him for the rescue, Clank expresses worry about his damaged arm, but Ratchet insists he'll be alright and leaves. Believing that Ratchet's abandoned him, Clank begins to walk away sadly, but Ratchet comes back to get him, saying he still needs to fix his arm. Overjoyed, Clank walks with him to his garage, with Ratchet's act of kindness cementing his personal growth into a kinder person and the duo's developing friendship. He and Clank also become roommates.

* Ratchet and Clank head to Kerwan, landing in Metropolis. They face off with countless Blarg commanders and Robomutts to reach Al's Roboshack, where they meet Big Al and ask him about Qwark. Unfortunately, Al states that he hasn't seen the Captain since the filming of the commercial, but upon learning that Clank runs on sisterboards he's familiar with, he offers to upgrade him with a Heli-Pack at the cost of 1,000 Bolts. The offer is accepted, and Clank is fitted with the Heli-Pack, allowing him and Ratchet to glide and jump long distances both horizontally and vertically. This upgrade will go on to aid them in most of their adventures afterward.
* Using the Heli-Pack to their advantage, Ratchet and Clank continue their journey, eventually ending up chasing an Infobot on a train. Once they catch up to it, it shows the two a conversation between Drek and his lieutenant, who had been sent to the forest planet of Eudora to harvest its trees for Drek's new planet, along with several robotic lumberjacks. Ratchet isn't scared of the lieutenant, suggesting that instead of finding Qwark to take care of him, he and Clank go to Eudora and do so by themselves. Clank agrees, believing that they can "persuade" him to give up Drek's whereabouts.
* The two then meet a Qwark bot that tells them about the nearby obstacle course and informs them they'll get a reward from Qwark's trainer for completing it (with Clank briefly confusing him for the ''real'' Captain Qwark until Ratchet informs him otherwise). The two race through the course and reach the end, but Qwark's trainer, Helga, is ''so'' dissatisfied with their "pathetic display" that she makes them pay 1,000 Bolts for their reward instead of giving it out for free. Said reward is the Swingshot, which grapples onto various versa-targets to allow them to reach new areas. This device will continue to prove useful in their later adventures.

%%A request from this page's original creator to any editors—in the period of time after its release, anything from the next installment in the series SHOULD either be hidden by spoilers or not added here at all. Despite the below disclaimer, it could be possible that some will use this page to catch up with the series' lore in time for the next game, and we still have to make it fair to them. If the mods say otherwise, go ahead, but I say wait a while. (Regarding Rift Apart specifically, the game will be a PS5 exclusive VERY early into the console's life, meaning that some may have issues purchasing it at first. The game also comes after a hiatus and is meant to be one of the PS5's premier titles, so new players will be attracted as a result.)

* Around the time of the Cragmites' campaign, a Cragmite warrior known as Bagogg crash-lands on the planet of Toranux. For years, he evades and fights off the Loki, the planet's indigenous species of spirit-like creatures. Once escaping the planet, he returns to Reapor and uses a class-three planet-smasher to blast Toranux into pieces, but unbeknownst to him the Loki survive within the planet's intact fragments, one which eventually crashes on the backwater world of Magnus.
