This is just my quick overview of the story, so excuse all the bad storytelling! It's taken directly from my storyboard book, so go easy on it :P
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black holes have appeared mysteriously all over the galaxy.

Ratchet and Clank visit Metropolis, Kerwan, to have a moments respite from their adventures. A news report flashes up on the holo-screens and the duo stop amongst the busy crowd to watch in horror as Darla Gratch (remember her? You need to give me an idea of what can happen to her in this news report :P)announces the sightings of strange anomalies across the galaxy.

(Few scenes not written yet)

A radio boradcast on Ratchet and Clanks ship announces the appearance of a huge planet, from nowhere. Out of the blue. Clank looks into the ships data banks and eventually finds out that this planet is actually Fastoon, but it isn't as it seems.

(More bits not yet planned)

Ratchet lands on the new Fastoon. A hazy city is barely visible in the far distance. The duo begin to make their way towards it.

Ratchet collapses in the desert from exhaustion. A shadowy figure appears over him, then the screen blanks out.

Ratchet awakens in a small chamber, surrounded by several Lombaxes. Naturally, he believes he is dreaming, but the Lombaxes part to reveal a younger Lombax than them, about the same age as Ratchet. It was like looking into a mirror.
This is Kaden. His father. His DEAD father.

(More scenes unplanned)

Together, Ratchet and Clank figure out that Azimuth's actions in the Great Clovk had managed to rip a small hole in time before they managed to stop him. Therefore, everything from the past has been trying to force it's way through this hole, making it bigger and bigger. It suddenly dawns on Ratchet that all his old enemies will return, and that they can't be allowed to find his baby self, who has almost certainly been dragged through. If they kill him as a baby, he will cease to exist in the present.

(More unplanned scenes)

Ratchet faces Chairman Drek once again, who has used the new technology of the present to complete his superplanet, which has also been dragged through the rip in time.
After he is defeated, we see a cutscene of the enemies banded together in a meeting on a derelict spaceship from the past. They have just realised that finding baby Ratchet is the key to resetting the past.

(Some more skipped scenes that I haven't planned :P)

Ratchet has defeated all his old enemies. He and Clank have to make their way back to the Greak Clock to basically "sew" up the hole in time, somehow. They encounter a younger version of Azimuth, who rescue baby Ratchet together. They take him back to Fstoon, to his parents, to be reunited. It's now when Ratchet realises that he can't possibly stay with his family. Time must not be tampered with. He knows that his family, his race, his planet, must be sent back, or risk unstabilility of time.  The dou leave after a tearful goodbye to his parents, both knowing that they will never see each other again.

When at the Clock, Azimuth takes a small device from a slot on his wrench and smiles. He says that it was sen to him by his future self and sure enough, there is an engraving on the metal surface. "Use wisely, my youthful counterpart.".

The device sets of an ultrasonic sound which only seems to affect machinary in the room, including Clank. Ratchet calls out to him as the Clock steadily lets out an increasing hum. Clank shuts down along with the Clock.

And that is all I have so far, as story planning goes! :D
