You witnessed all the chaos that your son, Dr Nefarious, unleashed with the Dimensionator, how the cracks formed in his dimension. He sent you, Ratchet, Clank, and of course himself, in a dimension where he always won.

Dr Nefarious impersonated his counterpart, Emperor Nefarious, and took the throne, temporarily ruling Nefarious City. and temporarily since, during a battle against Rivet and Kit in Battleplex, Emperor Nefarious appeared and there he met him. As expected, Emperor Nefarious was not at all happy with Dr Nefarious stealing his position while he was away, but spared his life when Dr Nefarious offered to help him defeat the rebels. you also met Emperor Nefarious, and he was definitely different from your son. The question is... do you have two children now? Can a counterpart of your son even be considered your son too? That was a pretty difficult question to answer.

5:20 pm ** location: Nefarious City **

Emperor Nefarious and Dr Nefarious were in the main room of the great palace, planning how to defeat those who were holding them back the most... the Lombaxes and their little robot friends. Dr Nefarious and Emperor Nefarious stood together in the main room, overlooking a miniature model of Nefarious City. Emperor Nefarious was gesturing at different parts of the model while explaining his plan.

Emperor Nefarious: "We've got those annoying Lombaxes and their little robots sidekicks causing problems for us. They're the ones we'll need to focus on taking out first."

Dr Nefarious nodded in agreement, inspecting the miniature city model.
