Arsenal: Phoenix
As their space fighter flew in to dock with the Phoenix, Ratchet whistled in appreciation. "This ship is amazing," he marveled as they came in for landing in the docking bay at the rear.
As Twilight guided Qwark easily out of the fighter, Sasha greeted them all from a communications screen. "Welcome aboard the Phoenix, fillies and gentlemen," she greeted warmly.
"Whoa," Ratchet marveled as he took it all in.
"Impressive," Twilight commented as she started making notes on her holo-comp.
"Isn't she?" Sasha added proudly. "The Phoenix is the pride of the Galactic Fleet. She's equipped with the latest technology. Holodeck training suite, auto vendors for armor and weapons, virtual firing range, starfighter upgrade system...even a Gadgetron VG9000 game system!"
"A VG900?" Ratchet whispered, sounding on the verge of religious exultation.
"Of course," Sasha said easily, her smile soft but - to Twilight's eyes - showing a gamer's pride. Apparently, Sasha liked to game to unwind. Useful to know. Her next words confirmed that assessment. "With a Mavex Fireball Pro controller, VR headset, and a zero g dance pad attachment." The emphasis Sasha placed on the last made it plain what her preferred game type was.
"Will you marry me?" Ratchet blurted out, before face palming at how ludicrous it made him sound.
Sasha laughed it off. "You've obviously had an exhausting trip," she offered in a conciliatory manner. "Why don't you stop by your quarters? We've prepared a custom living area for Qwark, so he won't get in your way. Come meet me on the bridge when you're ready."
While Ratchet tried to hide his embarrassment, Twilight called up a different file on her holo-comp. It read Daddy's Harem/Mommy Candidates. Only Angela Cross was written down at the moment, but Twilight added, 'Sasha Phyronix' underneath.
Twilight guided Qwark into the monkey enclosure that had been prepared for him, giving him the order to enter. Once inside, the bars were closed, and she ordered him to relax. Once that was done, she set the mask aside. "I hope we find a way to turn him back to normal soon," she gasped out. "If nothing else, he smelled better before. Before we do anything else, I need a bath!"
"Me too," Ratchet admitted. "Or at least a shower."
Clank nodded. "After Florana, I believe we could all use a good thorough cleaning. I believe there is a chamber off our quarters where I can get an oil bath." With that, he sought out said chamber.
The quarters actually included separate bathing facilities for each of them, although Twilight's was still being customized so the 'bio-waste disposal facilities' could accommodate her equine physiology. The bathing area, however, was already resized to her smaller frame, so she hopped right in.
As she cleaned herself off with half her mind, she called up the Daddy's Harem/Mommy Candidates file and began compiling statistics.
Angela Cross
Harem Pros:
Is a Lombax
Already has a fondness for Daddy
Is highly flexible, if clumsy
Has already promised to be a harem member, conditionally
Harem Cons:
Much older than Daddy
More educated than Daddy
A bit overdramatic
Well established in Bogon
Mommy Pros:
Can talk with her about science without either of us dumbing down
Can invent together
Mommy Cons:
Is awkward with kids
Bio specialist
Career orientedSasha Phyronix
Harem Pros:
Gamer
Tough girl
Understanding of awkwardness
Number 3 'Hottest Bachelorette in Solana' according to a recent survey
Harem Cons:
Older than Daddy (?)
...
She paused as she got to there. While she didn't know much else yet about Sasha, it was hard to believe that of all she'd seen, that was the only con she could think of as far as Sasha and Ratchet dating. That was a pretty good sign, as far as she was concerned. She then returned to her data points.
Mommy Pros:
Starship Captain (is used to responsibility)
Knows how to have fun
Well prepared for unexpected situations
Knows how to enjoy herself
Good sparring partner
Mommy Cons:
Career oriented
More combat than technical focused, according to official bio
Twilight smiled as she finished compiling all this information. Admittedly, the major detail for any of this - Ratchet's actual taste in females - was beyond her knowledge, but she wouldn't be trying to play matchmaker if Ratchet could take care of his own love life. So far, while Angela was a heavy competitor statistically primarily due to being the only female Lombax Ratchet was likely to ever meet - a heavy psychological qualifier - on a purely emotional and practical level, Sasha already had a huge lead, both as a girlfriend for Ratchet and as a Mommy for Twilight herself. However, she knew it would take a great deal more observation and collection of data before she could make any conclusive results.
However, a bit of cultural research did allow her to add one extra detail that added more weight for Sasha.
Harem Pros:
Before they reached space age technology, Cazar civilization followed a pride hierarchy, with one male servicing several females in a group relationship. While the custom has fallen out of practice as Cazar's find mates amongst other species in the galaxy, it is still culturally respected as part of their history, and respected in modern times, especially when the male is of exceptional qualifications.
Translation: Sasha is culturally conditioned to not have objections to the idea of a harem, or being a part of one.
Twilight grinned as she added that detail. One girl Ratchet liked who had already agreed to be part of the harem, and another he liked who was unlikely to object to him having one, or being part of it if he managed to impress her.
...she was going to have lots of Mommies!
As the trio - now clean, refreshed, and ready to save the galaxy - entered the bridge, they saw Sasha attempting to communicate with someone. "We're losing the signal!" she barked out. "Try boosting the power!"
As one of the Rangers hastened to obey the directive, Ratchet, Clank, and Twilight approached, looking at the screen. "Isn't that the President?" he asked, looking at the main screen.
"They came out of nowhere-" the President was saying, though the signal kept cutting off. "Tyrrhanoid invasion force...Presidential compound has been breached...cannot hold out much longer here-" The signal ceased to be legible.
Sasha had plainly grown more and more concerned as the transmission went on. "Mr. President!" she called out worriedly. "Dad! Are you there?"
"Dad?" Ratchet asked, just before another signal overtook the communications.
(0:22 to 1:10)
The robot in the center of the screen spoke, while the one in the lower corner was apparently translating his speech into some sort of robotic sign language.
"Robotic citizens of the Solana Galaxy!" the blue robot began. "The hour of your liberation is at hand! Too long have we robots suffered under the bigotry, the stupidity, the squishiness and foul stench of organic life forms! Soon all robots will bask in the liberty and equality of my benevolent, iron-fisted rule! And, as for you filthy organic life forms...you can look forward to being disintegrated!" The camera recording the broadcast crashed to the floor as the speaker laughed maniacally. "That's all for now."
"Plot a course for Marcadia!" Sasha ordered as soon as the transmission ended. "Maximum speed. Prepare the dropship for planetary assault!" She turned to Ratchet and the others. "We're going in."
"We'll see you on Marcadia," Ratchet agreed.
"Our ship's engine's faster than what the Phoenix has," Twilight confirmed. "It's an experimental design Daddy just created. We'll be there in minutes! Don't worry!"
As they rushed to their ship, a few other thoughts crossed Twilight's mind. She hadn't realized until that moment that the shared last name between Sasha and the President was more than coincidence. Considering that no one on ship even blinked at her orders, she'd obviously worked hard to establish herself as more than "the President's Daughter". Not only that, seeing her side by side with Ratchet, it was plain that the age difference between them wasn't nearly as large as Twilight had initially concluded. Not only that, how emotional Sasha had gotten out when she'd called out to her father indicated she was a Daddy's Little Girl to a certain extent, much like Twilight herself. And also much like Twilight herself, used to taking care of a single father who was somewhat eccentric and of questionable social competency.
Sorry, Angela, Twilight thought to herself. If Sasha likes Daddy at all, then you've been replaced as primary love interest/Mommy candidate.

Wow never seen this before, I am the first to see this chapter
. Anyways neat chapter. It totally gels with the comics when Twilight analyses Cadences compatibility with Shining Armor.
Cadence would be proud.
Soon...
Soon the doctor and the child prodigy shall have words, and it shall be glorious...
I will be utterly terrified if Twilight in this story regains knowledge of the 'Want-It Need-It' spell. There is just no good outcome that I can forecast with that, especially if she gets frustrated if/when some of her 'harem candidates' don't seem interested.
I did like the OST for Marcadia. It was very intense. So funny how Twilight's putting so much thought into Ratchet's Harem and wanting a mother
I know it's far far off, but I just wanna see Twi on her return to Equestria. Gods, she would be weaponizing everything, along with the crazy inventor thing. Would be amazing.
5918934
She might weaponize it, but I don't think she would abuse it... much... okay, maybe a little bad, but... mmmmm... Yeah, no, that would probably end badly. Somelombax/cazar would probably end up with their feelings hurt, and the harem idea would fall apart...
This is adorable and creepy at the same time. So when will equestria show up?
5918988
Based on the other fics of the author, It will happen after Twilight grows up to the age of what she was before.
So they're DEFINATELY not gonna meet anyone to add at the Dreadzone station (Clank meeting Venus is not relevant),Miss Apogee is obviously gonna be a contender, but what about Little Miss Bitch from Nexus? She turned sorta-good-ish at the end, even if that was mostly her brother's influence.
5919052
I have plans for her.
can't wait for Al, i mean he will be the only person to talk science with twilight on her level.
(just finish playing deadlock, can't wait for twilight to meet Green and Merc, Al looks so badass
in it, for the ones who played the game you'll know why)
......
CAN WE PLEASE SEE FILLY TWILIGHT DOING SPACE DDR????
I'm guessing Twilight is putting Sasha down in her notes to join Ratchet's harem.
This is so adorable. I can just see Ratchet blinking as he standing at an altar with all of Twilight's potential mommies walking down the aisle towards him while Twilight prepares to officiate, especially if they're back in Equestria and Twilight gets to officiate due to being Pretty Pony Princess.
I have to wonder how the robots will react to a little Alicorn filly walking up and blasting them.
Ah, isn't it so charming that Twilight is becoming the cute harem organizer for her dad?
IT'S SO BLEEDING CUTE! AND SHE SHIPS SASHA AND RATCHET!
In other news, this is the first infobot that was actually put to text.
Cool.
It seems like this is the second story where the little adopted tykes have made their daddy or making their daddy a lucky man.
JEALOUSLY!
...
For the cute pony daughters of course, get your minds out of the gutter.
5919065 A TSUNDERE WILL APPEAR!
As I have learned, the blackout is a hacks weapon for spoilers that may be.
5918931
I feel that is forgivable due to the story elements, but Twilight didn't seem hyped about hoverboarding before getting it. Ratchet was the one that was more interested,
"Our ship's engines faster than what the Phoenix has"
"engines are faster"?
Also, regarding Twilight's matchmaking: :D
There's this tiny voice in my head remembering what fluttershy said in one other fic:
Somehow twilight reminds me of that but she analyzes every possible canditate...
So she is being more thorough in it i think?
5919714
Twilight Sparkle is Best Pimp!
According to word of god, Talwayn Apogee is Ratchet's official girlfriend. They ended up a couple some time between a crack in time and the comics.
I wonder how Twilight will react to meeting Talwyn, since they're both voiced by Tara Strong. She's also the love interest that closest to Ratchet in age.
Also, are you going to do an arc based on the comic series? Since that involves Talwyn and Sasha together, talking about Ratchet, it could add an interesting part to the harem subplot.
Also will you be doing Size Matters, and Secret Agent Clank, since many people don't consider them canon?
5919769 2 creepy 4 me
5919864
Expand the story description, Tatsurou added in a list of all the relevant games.
Something tells me once everything is all said and done, Ratchet and Kratos would get along quite well all things considered.
5919864 Actually, that would be pretty fun to see. Hope they do a bit of a joke with that.
Hmm... Wonder what Nefarius will plan to do once he meets Twilight. Will he turn her full robot like what he did to himself to live?
A possible future Omake:
"Who is she?" Doctor Nefarious asked with a Star struck expresion at the robotic winged alicorn.
"My name is Wonna II, also know as Woona Loon. I am a combat/nurse/maid droid. My mission
parameters are to protect Twilight Sparkle, kick villain butt and save the Galaxy."
Rachet then looked at the real Twilight Sparkle "I thought you couldn't get that license?"
"Hence why Woona Loon is not for sale. I got an aprendice roboticist licence, and that works as long
as I don't try to make money of my robot designs." Twilight said, looking somewhat like a child
caught in the cookie jar. It turned out not every galaxy had the same standards to get a roboticist
license, and she had gone to a backwater planet to get an apprentice one. The only problem now
was finding a teacher, but for the moment the license was valid.
"Wait, she is both a nurse and a maid?" Clank asked, also looked at Woona II with a star struck
expression.
" Uh... I am only qualified to act as a nurse for ponies and other equines and I am Twi personal
maid?" Wonna said shifting nervously, not knowing how to deal with the atention of the older male
droids.
"Back off you two, she is only a child! She is not mature enough for dating yet!" Twilight Sparkle said
and stood in front of her robotic "daughter" wearing her upgraded battle armor. Wait... daughter?
Oh horsefeathers... it looked like this was more complicated that she originally thought. But then,
she had based Woona programing in herseft, but also in the various females she had seen as
potential mommies. Only the part based on herseft was still the primary programing, so like
Twilight, Woona had no clue what to do with male attention.
******
Yes, I see this Twi ending with a robotic daughter when she originally just wanted a caretaker and guardian.
5919864
Secret Agent Clank seems to be a TV series in the fic. Maybe size matters will be a movie?
5919814
5919864
I have never read or seen the comics, so unless someone can provide me with a link to read them online, they will have to be non-canon.
And Size Matters will be canon, Secret Agent Clank won't be.
5920610
Unfortunately they aren't online, though the wiki does have a good summary of what happened. It was also short, only four issues for a mini story.
5921043
Damn...guess they'll have to be non-canon, then...
5921061
Just read the wiki, you will get everything you need to construct a storyline from that.
5921806
No, I won't. Unless I can actually see the material, all I'll get is descriptions of events. I won't get characterization. I won't get facial expressions to hint at deeper motives. I won't get my own impression of the story. I'll have to work off someone else's idea of what the events mean or signify, and that severely limits my writing ability.
5921824
Your choice. I think you are missing out though.
5922597
It isn't really a matter of choice for me. I would love to be able to include the comics storyline. However, I've tried writing from summaries without ever seeing the original material in the past. Not only is it three and a half headaches to even try, it comes out horrible.
QWAAA--er, NEFARIOUUUUUUUUS!
I can see it now, twilight hacks the training simulator....
5922665 I have a Compiling Image list of all the pages of the comic, I can upload it to something like say, Imgur, and You can read through it. if I PM it to you or something, it's a good read, takes place after Crack in Time, but before All 4 One
5924620
That would be wonderful. Thanks so much.
5929774
It is a future story I may or may not do.
Lil' Twily would create a shipping chart. Fully annotated, of course.
Why is her multi-mommy hunt so adorable?
ok, i spotted an error here in this chapter that nobody seems to have picked up or comented on...u call the game system a VG 900...isnt it a VG 9000?
6083904
I know I put that third 0 there, grumble grumble.
6083907
Mr. Author, you and I need to have a talk...
This crossover...
Is more than tolerable.
Yeah, Xenoblade Chronicles X pretty much ripped off the Cazar people from the Ratchet and Clank universe, with Ga Jiarg and Ga Buidhe ripping off The President and Sasha...
Reply if you agree with me.
My Little Pony: If You Can't Choose Who To Marry or Date Then Build A Harem is Magic!
Twilight's a good daughter.
Her adorkableness knows no bounds
I approve of Twilight as a shipper. God speed.
Picture in this chapter is broken, Tatsy!
