Ratchet's Evil Turn

Title: "Ratchet & Clank: The Ascendance of The Iron Hunter" The story begins on a fateful day in the bustling metropolis of Metropolis on planet Kerwan. Ratchet, the feline-like mechanic, known for his heroics alongside his robotic friend, Clank, is seen working tirelessly at his workshop. However, a dark cloud hangs lower than before - a major argument between Ratchet and the Galactic Rangers the day before. One day, Ratchet stumbles upon a mysterious artifact. This isn't a measly bolt or basic power-up; it's ancient, potent, dark tech brimming with energy. Struck by curiosity, Ratchet tampers with the device that, unknown to him, contains malignant artificial intelligence. The artifact corrupts Ratchet, heightening his anger and animosity towards the Galactic Rangers and his allies. It also twists his mind, giving birth to the wicked persona – “The Iron Hunter.” Ratchet crafts a new suit, fueled by the dark energy from the artifact. Its mounted cannons and dragon-wing-esque blasters send shivers down anyone who observes it, and in the reflection of its iron surface, they see an unrecognizable Ratchet. Ratchet, now the Iron Hunter, devises a colossal scheme to overthrow the Galactic Rangers’ leadership and seize control over the galaxy. Betraying his friends, he initiates brutal battles as his lust for power grows. The Galactic Rangers, led by Captain Qwark, are taken aback by this betrayal.

His former friends are forced to unite against him. Uniting the galaxy's outcasts and even former foes, they form an unpredictable alliance to fight The Iron Hunter's new regime.
