They had many adventures ever since. They saved their universe from many evil plots, including it's own destruction.

Ratchet's History
Ratchet was born on Planet Fastoon as the son of Kagen, the keeper of the Dimensionator, a dimensional transporter. Days after Ratchet's birth, a Cragmite named Percival Tachyon, who was raised by Lombaxes after his kind was sent to another dimension by the Dimensionator during The Great War, had learned about his kind's past, and has attempted to get revenge on the Lombaxes by stealing their technology. He introduced them to technology considerably more advanced than what they were using at the time. Kagen's friend, Alister Azimuth, wanted to help Tachyon despite warnings from Kagen that he couldn't be trusted. Azimuth gave Tachyon full access to all of the Lombaxes' technology, believing it could repair the galaxy from The Great War. But instead, Tachyon used it to crush Fastoon and to try to rebuild the Cragmite Empire. Tachyon killed hundreds of Lombaxes including Kagen and his wife. However, before his death, Kagen sent Ratchet to the Solana Galaxy to Planet Veldin where he could be safe. All the other Lombaxes retreated to another dimension, and exiled Azimuth for his crimes. Years later, Ratchet meets Clank, they become well-known heroes, and eventually meet Emperor Tachyon. Later, their heroic coward friend, Captain Quark, irresponsibly gives the Dimensionator to Tachyon, allowing him to free the Cragmites from their dimension, and invades the galaxy. Ratchet learns little information about his past from Tachyon in the final battle, and Tachyon is defeated. Later, Clank is taken by Zoni, and Ratchet soon learns that he was the heir to the Great Clock's Senior Caretaker. Ratchet meets Alister Azimuth, and they search for Clank together. Azimuth reveals that he has competed with Nefarious on his plans for the Great Clock, about his past, and his plans to use the Great Clock to undo his mistakes in the past. When they find Clank, he reveals everything he knows about the Great Clock: It's creation, it's purpose, and it's vital importance. Upset about his plans, Azimuth leaves. Yet after Ratchet and Clank defeat Nefarious, Azimuth rescues them before they collide into Nefarious' space station. When Azimuth is still determined to save the Lombaxes, he gets furious, and brutally kills Ratchet. However, Clank manages to save him by going back 6 minutes in time, and preventing Ratchet from getting killed. After a huge battle, Azimuth realizes his mistake, and sacrifices himself to save the universe from total annihilation. When Clank decides to pass his duties to his friend, Sigmund, he rejoins Ratchet, and they continue their wonderous adventures.

They eventually succeeded on defeatin Drek, and had many other adventures until they met Emperor Tachyon, the murderer of Ratchet's parents. On many occasions during the duo's quest to stopping Tachyon, Clank sees a race of invisible and ultraintellegent creatures called Zoni. The Zoni helps Clank on numerous occasions, and tell events in the future. After they stop Tachyon, Clank is taken by the Zoni to The Great Clock. With help from Sigmund, and after escaping the clutches of Dr. Nefarious, Clank learns about his past, and about the Great Clock itself.
