I do not own Jak and Daxter sadly. Only my own character is mine. Enjoy! :D

I sighed out of boredom and sat on the Rift Rider next to my best friend Keira. I started itching my elf ears and looked at the talking Samos. My long time silent crush, Jak, stood next to the Rift Raider looking at the huge Precursor Ring. Daxter, the little orange Ottsel, sat in my lap- pretending to listen to what Keira was saying.

"I think I've figured out most of this machine. It interacts somehow with that large precursor ring. I just hope we didn't break anything when bringing it over here to the lab."

Daxter jumped off my lap getting in between Jak and Keira, "Easy for you to say! We did all the heavy lifting!"

I frowned.

"You? It was mainly Jak!" I said, crossing my arms. Daxter just laughed a little. I rolled my eyes at him and looked at the Precursor breaking into a grin. Daxter and I were about to touch the Precursor artifact on in front of us until Samos stopped us.

"Daxter, don't touch anything! And Kida, you should know better!" he scolded. I grinned sheepishly at him and sat back while Daxter just rolled his eyes.

"Though the Precursors vanished long ago, the artifacts left behind could still do great harm." Jak, Daxter, and I all rolled are eyes at his preaching.

Keira piped in smiling at me, "Or great good! If you figure out how to use them." I nodded at her blowing my black bangs from my face.

"Yeah yeah. I get it. Don't t-" Jak pushed his hand on the big red button and the Precursor started glowing and doing something weird, "-ouch it."

"Looks like Jak's still got the mojo." Jak grinned at Daxter. We all looked at the Precursor intently.

"Interesting. It appears to reading out some pre-set coordinates." I blinked my bottle green confused eyes at Keira.

"Wait is that a good thing?" I asked worriedly. The sky darkened considerably and the motor on the Rift Raider started spinning. I went wide eyed looking at her.

"Apparently not!" she said looking at the big Precursor Ring in front of us. Purple static started coming off of it and it was glowing.

"What's going on!" I yelled looking at Samos. Suddenly I watched as Metal Heads flew out.

"Finally the last Rift Gate has been opened." I whined a little afraid and sunk in my chair as the deep..dark…manly…voice spoke.

Daxter yelled alarmed and ducked down, "AH! What are those things!"

"So this is how it happened," Samos mumbled to himself. I blinked confused.

'How what happened?' I thought. I looked up and screamed as a huge monsters head came from the Rift Gate.

"You cannot hide from me boy!"

"Do something Jak!" Keira and I yelled at him in unison.

Jak hit the red button again and the Rift Raider shot off towards the gate. We went under the monsters head and through the gate. The Rift Raider went fast as we shot through the Rift Gate. I screamed covering my face while my black hair whipped around me.

"Hang on everyone!" Samos yelled. They all had a good grip on the bar as Daxter yelled and looked at Jak.

"I want off this thing!" I opened my eyes looking around and it was like we were in a different world, colors flying by is in a fast motion of time. The Rift Raider bounced suddenly and I went wide eyed when I flipped backwards off.

I screamed, holding out my gloved hand quickly and instantly Keira grabbed my hand at the last moment, hanging on to the bar with her other one.

"Kida, hang on!" she screamed with tears in her eyes. My hand started slipping from hers and I shook my head.

"I…I can't!" Jak grabbed onto Keira as she suddenly let go of the bar reaching for my other hand. We almost touched but our hands slipped. I screamed again, reaching my hand out, before disappearing in a bright light from their sight.

"Kida!" Daxter and Keira yelled. Jak went wide eyed and Samos looked over at the gate with a curious expression.

Nice to see he cares.

The Rift Raider exploded a couple minutes later causing everyone to separate. Jak flipped and held onto Daxter as he went towards a bright light.

"Find yourself, Jak!" Samos yelled after him before they disappeared.

I screamed hurtling from the sky towards the earth and created a crater when I hit the ground. Bouncing a few times I rolled to a stop then absolutely refused to move as I laid there in pain for a moment. Finally I got the urge to open my eyes and groan.

"Oh that's gonna leave a mark," I grunted, touching my forehead through my bangs. I blinked looking around and stood up slowly.

"W-Where am I?" I looked at the big buildings and flying vehicles. People passed me by and looked at me strangely. I frowned crossing my arms, 'What the hell is their problem?'

My attention went from the rude people to then up as a larger group of people in red started coming towards me. They looked like security guards of some sort with their weird masks and guns.

One of them glared at me as they passed and I blinked moving out of the way. I looked in between all of them to see they had someone in shackles.

'Jak!' My green eyes widened as it was really him. He seemed to be unconscious and with no Daxter, 'What the…What's going on here?'

"Kida! Kida!" I turned to the sound of my name and saw Daxter running over to me.

"Daxter?" He run up to me and crawled up my leg and gave me a hug.

"What happened to you! We thought you were dead!" he yelled amazed. I shook my head.

"I thought I was too. Why is Jak being taken away by some well…guards?" I asked a little unsure as to what they were.

Daxter crawled up so he was on my shoulder, "I don't know! We fell from the sky and then BAM! They knocked him out and took him away!" His loud explanation caused a lot of passersby's to look at us strangely.

"Okay okay. Keep it down. We'll figure something out, right?" I asked walking with him on my shoulder.

"Right! Like I said, we'll have him out of there before he knows it!"

…..Two years later.

"Dax, you have to be quiet or we'll be caught!" I yelled quietly at Daxter who was on my shoulder.

It had been two whole years since our separation from Jak and the others. Now Daxter and I were sixteen. Keira was seventeen by now. That meant Jak was now seventeen too. I had no idea how old Samos was.

Daxter and I were coping well with ourselves considering we were sixteen.

We ended up working for this exterminator named Osmo in Haven City. He needed help exterminating some Metal Bugs. We beat some person named Kaeden and we're now in the process of saving Jak.

Well trying anyways.

We were currently in the Krimzon Guard Fortress. The king and ruler of Haven City, Baron Praxis, is the one that took Jak.

Now was the only time security was the lowest and the only time we could save Jak.

"I know, Ki. But I can hear something so shush." I looked at him raising an eyebrow.

"Did you just-" He covered my mouth and we both listened intently.

"Ugh nothing. I was informed that this one might be different!" a voice boomed. I jumped slightly.

'Baron.' I growled under my breath and narrowed my eyes into slits.

"He is surprisingly resistant to your experiments, Baron Praxis. I fear that the "Dark Worrier Program" has failed," another voice said.

Baron growled.

"You should at least be dead with all the Dark Eco I've pumped into you!" he said to something. I raised an eyebrow.

'Who's he talking too? Dark Eco is deadly!' I thought looking over at Daxter who was looking up where the voices were coming from.

"Metal Head armies are pressing their attacks. Without a new weapon my men cannot hold them off forever," the other voice said desperately.

Daxter pointed over to some floating device that was lying next to us.

"Get on," he whispered. I nodded walking over and standing on it. Daxter messed with the controls and we slowly started raising up the big wall with doors towards the voices.

"I will not be remembered as the man who lost this city to those vile creators! Move forward with the final plan!" Baron boomed again. We stopped right next to where the talking was so that they couldn't see us.

"Finish off this…thing tonight."

"As you wish. I'll be back later." Then the footsteps faded away into nothing. Daxter raised the platform and we floated up. I broke into a grin when I saw Jak lying there. I jumped off of the platform and Daxter floated over him.

"Ding Ding! Third floor! Body chains, roach food, torture devises! Hey buddy, ya seen any heroes around here?" Daxter jumped onto Jak. I crossed my arms and stood next to the chair.

"Be careful Dax. He looks a little beat up," I said softly looking at Jak's face. Daxter looked Jak over and blinked.

"Whoa! What they do to you?" he asked him. Jak lied there fighting unconsciousness. I looked around at the machines and winced looking back at his face.

"I don't want to know," I mumbled sadly. Daxter pulled on the front of Jak's shirt trying to get him to look at his face.

"Jaaaak! It's me Daxter!" Daxter whined looking at Jak. Jak raised his head and then fell back again. I sighed.

"Well that's a fine hello," I mumbled to Daxter. Daxter nodded.

"I know! We've been going around risking our tails, literally, to find you!" he exclaimed. I looked at Jak's face and frowned.

"Jak, we've been looking for you for two years! Now I know you're a mute and all but come on!" I said frustrated. Daxter pulled on his shirt again.

"Say something to us! Just this once!" Daxter said desperately. Jak's eyes snapped open with rage burning in them.

"I'm gonna kill Praxis!" he said loudly. Whoa he spoke! I quickly covered his mouth with my gloved hand.

"Shush! Right now we have to get you out of here Jak!" I said looking around.

I looked back at him and Daxter started moving around trying to get the locks undone. Jak looked at me but his blue eyes didn't hold any recognition of who I was.

"First let me figure out how to open the security locks-"

"Daxter?" I called letting go of Jak's mouth and taking a step back. Jak started moving around.

"-to your chair so we can-"

"Dax!" I yelled at him.

"Unlock your- What?" he snapped looking at me. Then the chair locks exploded and Daxter jumped on my shoulder looking at Jak.

"Or, uhh, you can do it," he stated looking at him. I nodded in agreement.

Jak's eyes were completely black and his skin was sickly pale. His long blond and green hair was now white with black horns and his fingernails grew long and black. Purple sparks came off of him as he slowly walked toward us.

I took a few steps back and realized that I was at the edge. I looked down and quickly looked at back Jak.

"Jak? Easy now. Easy buddy. It's-It's your old pals Daxter and Kida remember," Daxter said from my shoulder. We flinched as Jak raised his hand to kill us.

"Jak, stop!" I screamed. Jak stopped in mid swing as he heard my voice and his eyes flashed.

"Daxter? Ki…da?" Jak stumbled a bit before turning into his normal self. I looked at Jak slowly and Daxter jumped off my shoulder to his.

"What the heck was that? Jeesh! Remind me not to piss you off!" he said smiling a bit. I grinned rolling my eyes before reaching in my black book bag hanging on my back and pulling out some clothes.

"We brought you some new gear. Put it on," I offered, holding them out to him. Jak took them looking at me.

"What?" I asked, putting a hand on my hip. He shook his head a bit.

"You've changed, Kida." He said smirking a bit. I blinked looking myself over.

Okay I did grow a little in the feminine parts, but not all that much.

I had on a white tank top that clung to me and showed my lower back and the bottom of my flat stomach stopping before you could see my belly button. My jean caprice clung to my waist loosely. They were a little tight in the thighs, but not that much and where cut off at the end with two bands tied at the bottom of each leg. Two black belts hanging from my waist to keep them up that had black suspenders connected to them were going over my shoulders. One of my belts held two knives on either side and the other belt held an empty gun holder on my left hip.

My short black boots zipped at the side and had white cloth wrapping around the sole of the shoes. I had on some bandages wrapped around my arms that went from my wrists to about my elbows and my tight leather black gloves were like a second layer of skin on my tan hands.

Fit for fighting if you ask me.

I had on a necklace that had a large shark tooth on it that Jak gave me for my twelfth birthday and some red goggles that hung loosely from my neck.

I fidgeted under his staring and ran my fingers through my black hair blowing my bangs from my eyes.

"I didn't change all that much, Jak. I'm still me," I said quietly. Jak locked eyes with my green eyes and smirked a little.

"You have changed. Trust me." I felt my face get hot and rolled my eyes turning my back to him.

"Just hurry up and change so we can get out of here," I mumbled, fighting the rising blush. Daxter snickered at me. I glared at him.

Somehow or another, Daxter found out about my huge crush for Jak. I still didn't know how but he knew. I made him swear that when we found him he would never tell him. He promised but I was starting to think he was gonna tell him anyways.

'Not like it would matter. He has a huge crush on Keira. Always has, always will,' I thought frowning a little.

"I'm ready now." Jak said from behind me. I turned around and smirked a bit.

"Looks like I'm not the only one that's changed. It's amazing to me your only seventeen Jak," I said grinning at him.

He was wearing a blue long sleeved shirt with tan shorts and blue fingerless gloves. A brown belt hung loosely from his waist and his empty gun holder on his back was held together by a silver circled on his chest wrapping around by a brown material. His black shoes were covered by a brown cloth that went to about his knees and under his shorts.

He had his usual goggles on the crown of his head and a red scarf looking thing around his neck.

"Well let's get you out of here," I said grabbing my book back and putting in on.

I jumped down landing on my feet and stood up as Jak and Daxter landed next to me. I grinned looking around for a moment before looking back at a confused Jak.

"That was easier than I expected. Well at least we got you at of that hell hole," I grinned pointing over my shoulder to the rest of the city, "Now welcome to your new one!" I said with happy sarcasm. Jak just looked at me blankly. I shrugged.

"Well it is," I stated looking around for some Krimzon Guards.

"Looks like the coast is all clear for now. But we need to get out of this area. There are bound to be some Krimzon Guards," I said my green eyes serious. Jak nodded at me and I turned around, starting to get out of there.

I looked up to be face to face with an old guy. He was wearing blue robes and had a long white beard and hair. His staff almost hit me in my face if I hadn't been watching were I was going.

"Uh, hi?" I asked slightly annoyed at him.

"Hello strangers. My name is Kor. May I help you?" he asked me. I blinked. Jak got in front of me in the old man's face.

"You look like a reasonably smart man. I want information. Where the hell am I?" he asked looking around. Daxter jumped off Jak's shoulder and landed next to a child.

The kid had overalls on with a white t-shirt underneath it. He had a brown helmet looking thing and his green hair spiked out of it. The thing that stood out the most was the red precursor necklace wrapped around his neck.

"Sorry. He's, uh, new to the whole…conversation thing," Daxter said. The kid looked a little afraid. I got in front of Jak and frowned putting my hands on my hips, looking up at him.

"Jak, be nice. I could of told you where you were, idiot," I scolded before turning to the old man, "I'm sorry about him," I smiled a bit and already knew Jak was frowning behind me.

Kor dusted himself off, "Well my angry young friend, you are a guest of his majesty Baron Praxis. The ruler of glorious Haven City."

I snorted at his sarcasm and crossed my arms, putting my weight on one foot, still standing in front of Jak. Considering I was shorter than him by a couple inches he could still see the old man from over me.

"I was just a guest inside the Baron's prison," Jak stated with venom. I frowned a bit elbowing him in the gut some causing him to grunt.

"Inside a cell or inside the city. Walls surround us both. We are all his prisoners," Kor said looking around.

I got on high alert when I saw Krimzon Guards walking toward us. I backed up a bit more until my back ran into Jak's chest.

"We have to get out of here, Jak," I whispered looking up at him. Jak nodded a bit still looking at the Guards.

"Talking about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I-I would just move on if I were you," Kor said, walking behind us.

One of the Krimzon Guards walked in front of everyone.

"By order of the protector and grand ruler of Haven City, Baron Praxis, everyone in this section is here by under arrest for suspicion of harboring underground fugitives. Surrender and die!"

I growled and got ready to fight while Daxter stood in front of me a little confused.

"Ahhh excuse me sir, uh, don't you mean surrender OR die?" Daxter yelled, getting at his feet. Kor got the little green haired kid behind himself.

"Not in this city. Protect us from these guards and I'll introduce you to someone who can help you," he said to all of us.

Jak narrowed his eyes and I raised my fist ready to fight. Jak ran around me right when I hit the first Guard in the head and he knocked some more out. Two guards got in my way of helping Jak so I kicked one in the face and gave the other one an uppercut to the stomach.

I turned around when a Guard started coming towards the little green haired kid and growled. I ran over to the kid and picked him up before the Guard could shock him. I held him in my arms as the Guards cornered me, getting ready to shoot. I gritted my teeth together and turned so my back was to them when they shot.

I sunk to my knees, wincing in pain, but kept the little boy close to me. The kid looked at me worriedly and then behind me where Jak was.

Jak went wide eyed for a split second before he started to change again. His hair went white and black horns appeared on his head. His skin turned white and his nails grew long while his eyes went black.

He growled menacingly at them and then went berserk. I turned and watched him with wide eyes as the little boy held onto me tightly.

All the Guards disappeared and Jak went back to normal. Daxter went over to Jak and whistled.

"Whoa that was cool! Do it again," Dax said excided. Jak was breathing hard.

"Something's…happening to me…Something he did….. I can't control it," he explained looking back at me.

I was sitting on the ground with my back against the wall, breathing hard from the shots, and kept the kid sat up slightly in my arms. I smiled at Jak softly and then looked at the kid.

"You okay?" I asked him smiling. He nodded at me smiling a bit. I nodded before letting my head fall on the wall.

"Good," I said still breathing a little hard. When my breathing went normal enough, I stood up, still holding the kid, and walked over to Jak as Kor came over to us.

"Very impressive. What you two just did was very brave," Kor said, nodding his head to us. I smiled thankfully. Kor motioned to the kid in my arms.

"This child is very important," he stated, looking at me intently. I frowned a bit suspiciously at his staring at me and nodded. Daxter jumped on my shoulder to look at the kid in my arms.

"This kid! He looks kinda scruffy," he claimed poking him. The kid flinched away from him and I frowned putting the kid on his feet and glared at Daxter.

"Quit Dax your scaring him," I snapped. The kids hands moved from my back and he held them up in shock covered his features.

"You are in a restricted zone. Move along," I looked up at the Krimzon Guard in his Zoomer and rolled my eyes. I glanced down at the kid and noticed he had blood on his hands. I took both of them and leaned down slightly.

"Oh, honey, you're bleeding," I said softly. Jak came behind me and put a hand on my back. I jumped and whipped around glaring at him.

"Hey!" I yelled. He frowned shaking his head.

"You're the one bleeding, Kida," he said, grabbing my waist and turning me around again. I looked over my shoulder and sure enough I had holes in my white tank top and my shirt was soaked red with burn marks.

I smiles sheepishly looking at Jak as he put his hand on my lower back again.

"It's alright. I can't even feel it," I said smiling. I turned to him and took his hands off of me."I'm fine," I said to him quietly but he didn't stop frowning with worry.

"You just got shot by a whole bunch of Guards and you're fine?" he asked me raising an eyebrow. I just blinked there, out of answers.

"Exactly."

Kor looked at me and then Jak.

"Thank you for your help, but I must get this boy to safety. Please make sure you dress your wounds young lady," he said turning with the boy and starting to walk away. Dax spoke up.

"Hey! What about us!" I kicked him lightly. Kor turned back to us with a slight smile while the boy came up and gave me a gentle hug. I smiled giving him a hug before he ran off next to Kor while he started talking.

"There is an underground group raging war against Baron Praxis. The group's leader, The Shadow, could use fighters like you." I flinched back a bit.

'Wait the one that caught me and took me to Baron said something about quitting and helping the Underground! Now I bet he's in the damn Underground?' I thought, getting angrier at every passing second.

"Where is their hide out at?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Go to the Slums. Find a dead end alley near the city wall. Ask for Torn, he will be able to help you." Then Kor walked away.

I clenched my fists, grinding my teeth together at the name.

"Torn,"I hissed, narrowing my green eyes into slits. Daxter took a step away from me and Jak frowned deeply.

"What's wrong with this Torn person?" he asked me. I snapped out of my angry trance and sighed shaking my head.

"Let's go. I need to get a new shirt before we go to The Underground," I said walking past him towards the northern wall.

"I have to go to my house," I stated walking towards a nearby Zoomer.

"We can take the two seater. It's not really that fast but it has really good durability," I said jumping in the driver side. I looked at Jak and he looked at the Zoomer suspiciously.

"Come on Jak, I don't have all day. It's not gonna bite you," I mocked starting it. All the way there Jak was profusely asking me if my back was okay.

"Are you-"

"Jak, listen to me!" I snapped, turning to him. I sighed looking back in front of me so that I could drive correctly.

"I am completely fine. Do not ask me again until we get to my house," I said looking back at him. Jak looked at me for a moment before something in his eyes shined but it quickly went away as a smirk slowly appeared on his face.

"Okay," I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at him before turning so I could park over next to my house.

"Are you okay?" he asked the moment we landed. I glared at his remark and stomped off.

"Wiseass."

It wasn't small, but it wasn't huge either. It was probably the average sized house in Haven City.

Plus it was where almost no one exists in Haven City, so it was almost always empty around there. It was probably one of the best houses there. It wasn't torn up and it had two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen was average size and it had a living room.

It was perfect for me in this run down town.

"You live here?" Jak asked a little amazed. I nodded looking back at him.

"Yeah. Why? Did you think I lived in The Slums somewhere?" I asked, smirking over my shoulder at him.

"Kida found this place abandoned and empty about two years ago when we first got here. It was all tore up and dirty, but she cleaned it up to make it look like her own house."

Daxter said running up to the front door.

I unlocked it and walked in holding the door open for Jak.

"It's not much, but it's home," I said smiling at him. I took off my book back and set it on the floor. He looked around the living room.

"It's better than your home at Sandover Village," he stated, turning back to me. I laughed going to the kitchen.

"I suppose your right. But Jak, I lived by myself in Sandover Village," I said coming back into the living room with a bowl of grapes. I sat on the large black couch next to the small window.

Jak blinked a little sitting in the chair across from me.

"Who do you live with here?" he asked, narrowing his eyes for a split second. Daxter crawled up next to me and took some grapes from the bowl in my lap and sat his self in the couch.

I glanced over at Daxter and then looked back at Jak.

"Well, I live here with Daxter, and then I live here with you," I claimed smiling a bit. Jak blinked taken back for a moment.

"But I just got here," he said confused. Daxter got down and went towards the hallway.

"Yeah but we got our own room Jak. Kida insisted we set it up for you so when we got ya out of there you could have a home," Daxter explained going to Jak and his room.

I blushed red as Jak looked at me. I got up quickly and hissed in pain when my back stung.

"You need help," Jak stated getting up. I shook my head.

"N-No I'm fine. I just need a new shirt. I'll be right back," I said, going to my room quickly.

I went into my bedroom and shut the door behind me and then went to my bathroom. I took my suspenders off gently so not to hurt my back and put them on the bed. I slipped my gloves off. I took my shirt off carefully and turned my back to look in the full body mirror so that I could see the full extent of the damage.

I had holes and burn marks from when they shot me running down my back and stopping when it got to the middle of my back. I touched one softly and hissed again.

"Defiantly infected," I mumbled getting in the drawer and reached in pulling out some Green Eco.

I tossed it in the air letting it fall over my head.

Warmth filled my body and my back felt loads better. I turned to the mirror seeing that the marks were just faint scars.

I nodded going into the room and pulling out a clean new white tank top.

The bottom of the tank top was wrapped in a black elastic that clung to my torso. It was just like the other one except a little shorter. It still showed my lower back and stomach and stopped before the belly button.

I went over putting my suspenders back on and clipping them to my belt. My belt hug loosely from my waist just holding up my jean caprice.

I went over taking my goggles from my neck and setting them on my table. I let my shoulder length hair down and brushed my fingers through it. I put the goggles on my head and let my bangs frame my face.

I put on my tight gloves and made sure the bandages on my arms were fine before nodding and walking out the door.

I walked into the living room to find Jak and Daxter whispering about something.

"You gotta wait though," Daxter whispered.

I put my hands on my hips and raised an eyebrow.

"What's with the secrets?" I asked putting my weight on one foot. They both looked at each other and then me shaking their heads.

"Nothing," they said in unison.

I smiled at their antics and walked over to the door.

"Let's go. We got to get to The Underground before sundown," I said grabbing my keys. Jak nodded and Daxter hopped in his shoulder as we went to the Zoomer.

I let Jak drive and told him the way to The Slums. I sighed as we drove over the people of The Slums.

"I hate coming here," I whispered to nothing.

Jak glanced at me before looking back to his driving. Daxter crawled in my lap trying to make me feel better. We landed at the of an alley and I jumped out and saw a girl in green standing there.

She had blond hair that was held back by a purple head band and shorts on with brown suspenders and a brown belt. She had red scarf around her neck and blue fingerless gloves. Her long brown boots went to about her knees and was wrapped by a brown band.

We walked up to the end of the alley and she stepped in front of Jak with her hands on the hips and she narrowed her eyes.

Jak crossed his arms.

"We're looking for a guy named Torn. Of course if….." She rolled her eyes looking over at the man that got in Jak's face.

He had on black pants and long sleeved black shirt. He had a red scarf and a black band that wrapped around his back to his knife holder. He had some armor on his right arm. His brown hair was done in a corn row fashion and he had tattoos along his face and long elf ears.

"Um…are you…Torn?" Jak asked. I clenched my fist.

'Yeah. That's Torn alright,' I thought biting my bottom lip. Daxter got on Jak's shoulder.

"Maybe this guys a mute. Like…you used to be," he offered. Torn glanced at Daxter before looking at Jak again.

"New faces make me nervous. Word is your out to join the fight for the city," he said in his gruff tone. I crossed my arms under my chest.

'Word travels fast in this city,' I thought, rolling my eyes. Torn walked around Jak.

"Ya know picking the wrong side could be…unhealthy," he said. I glared at him while Jak frowned.

"We wanna see The Shadow," Jak explained, not even effected my Torn's words.

Torn laughed.

"Not likely. If you wanna join something…why don't you and your pet go join the circus," he said, turning his back in them. I glared at him getting in front of Jak.

"Well then apparently we're already here, considering the fact you're here, Torn," I said through narrowed eyes.

Torn turned around to look at me before he broke out into a smirk.

"Well if it isn't Little Miss Snappy," he remembered, crossing his arms. I clenched my fists.

"Yeah it is. I told you about calling me that," I said through clenched teeth. Torn got in my face.

"You shouldn't have been snapping out on me then," he replied smirking. I growled.

"Maybe you shouldn't have taken me to The Baron then huh?" I snapped, living up to the nickname he gave me.

He stepped back a little.

"I got you out of there didn't I?" he said, turning his back on me. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Yeah after you gave me to him! Doesn't quite count, Torn!" Torn turned his head to me with an angry expression.

"I'm done with that life. You're just lucky I didn't leave your ass there to die," he said lowly. I got in his face.

"That's hard to believe. You're done with that life and came here so that you could be the right hand man of The Shadow. Do you think I'm gonna forgive you for what you did!" I yelled getting angry. Torn looked away from me.

I nodded, "Yeah I probably won't anytime soon because you left me in that damn cell with that monster."

Torn turned to me and something flashed in his eyes before he turned to Jak walking past me.

"If you've got the fur for I really tough task," he pulled his knife out and played with it. Daxter shivered and I just rolled my eyes and went to stand next to Jak.

"Steal The Barons banner from the top of The Ruin Tower, then…maybe we'll talk." He threw the knife up smirking before catching it.

I rolled my eyes walking away and Jak followed. I got in the Zoomer on the passenger side so that Jak could drive. I was getting dark out and the lights of the city were showing brightly. Jak drove but kept glancing at me as I just stared blankly.

"How do you and Torn know each other?" he finally asked. I glanced at him and sighed.

"That's a story for another day, Jak," I said smiling a bit.

Daxter looked away slightly suddenly finding the passing scenery interesting. Jak glared at both of us for a moment before we got to the destination. He parked the Zoomer and I jumped off. Daxter crawled on my shoulder and I looked at the big metal door.

"Well let's go shall we?" I said happily, jumping down the hole to be in front of it. Jak landed next to me and the door automatically opened.

We walked in and stood there while we were decontaminated and then let out from the city.

I blinked when a smell hit my nose.

"That's grows," I groaned, looking at Daxter who was gagging. Jak rolled his eyes at both of us.

We walked on that saw a little green animal looking thing. I grinned.

"Aw how cute!" I squealed running up to it. Then it snapped its teeth at me.

"Hey!" I yelled kicking it. It flipped over and then disappeared as Dark Eco took its place. Jak walked next to me and the Dark Eco was attracted to him.

I looked at Jak amazed.

"What just happened?" I asked. He looked at his hands.

"I don't know but whatever it was, it just made me stronger," he explained looking at me. I shrugged walking on.

I jumped on the wooden board behind Jak and he took out the next little green monsters. I followed him and we stopped when there were like twenty little green monsters. I groaned while Jak rolled his eyes.

I punched some of them out and Jak spun a couple times before they were gone. All the Dark Eco kept going to Jak like he was a magnet.

We got to a bridge and it started crumbling under our feet.

"Ah!" I jumped right before I fell down and landed in front of a laughing Jak.

"Oh shut up," I said getting up and dusting myself off. I turned the corner and stopped short when I saw different landings.

"How the hell are we suppose to do this!" I yelled going wide eyed. Jak smirked and jumped onto the first one.

"H-Hey! Wait for me!" I called jumping after him. When my feet touched the stone it started crumbling.

Jak jumped onto the next one and I was right behind him. They were all coming apart every time we landed. I got to the last one and jumped but I was too late. I missed and my gloved hand latched onto the side of the building, hanging there.

"Damnit," I muttered holding on with one arm. I looked down and saw the rocks disappeared and something in that brown muddy water moved.

I went wide eyed.

"Oooooh I am not going down there!" I swung my other hand up and held on tightly.

"Jak, help!" I yelled. Jak appeared next to my hands leaning over the side with Daxter. I laughed nervously.

"I, uh, lost my footing…again," I said, grinning up at him. He rolled his eyes, pulling me up by my wrists.

Daxter climbed on my shoulder when I was standing on my feet again.

"You really have to learn to walk right, Ki," Dax said grinning. I looked at him with an eyebrow raised.

"This coming from an animal, who used to be a boy, that lost their footing and then fell in a pool of Dark Eco and got turned into a Ottsel." I put my finger to my chin in mock thinking.

"You have no idea what really happened!" he yelled defensively, crossing his arms. I laughed.

"Dax, Kida was there when it happened," Jak stated looking at us smirking. I nodded and giggled.

"It makes me feel good to know you remember me so well, Dax, when I grew up with you and Jak both," I said, crossing my arms under my chest.

Daxter rolled his eyes.

"Yeah but then you were a little girl. You grew up into a different girl. And not a bad looking one at that!" Daxter said winking at me.

I blushed pushing him off my shoulder.

"Shut up, Dax!" I yelled about to kick him when Jak stopped me.

"Well he's telling the truth," he agreed walking ahead of us. I blushed bright red and looked down at a laughing Daxter.

"You're both annoying. No wonder your bestfriends," I mumbled ahead of Jak who was laughing. Daxter was right behind me.

I stopped and slowed to a walk when we got to the banner. I grinned at clapped.

"There it is! We did it!" Jak rolled his eyes and Daxter cheered with me. Jak went up and pulled the banner from the cement holding it up. I clapped as Daxter did a pose but stopped when I saw the ground crack.

"Not good," I mumbled.

The ground from beneath us gave and Jak flipped up while Daxter panicked. I screamed falling and Daxter yelled with me.

Jak landed on a cloth making him bounced forward. I hit it bouncing up while flipping in the air abnormally. I landed on a rope and slid down with my feet following Jak while Daxter hit it straight on.

Jak landed on his feet at the end of the rope and stood in front of Torn smirking. I lost my balance at the last minute and fell landing on my back next to Jak's feet. Daxter fell from the sky landing in my lap.

Jak looked down at both of us as I sat up laughing. I looked at him and grinned as Daxter stood up, spinning completely dizzy.

"Let's do that again," I said giggling.

The Ruin Tower behind us collapsed and Torn watched with wide eyes before he looked at us with a smirk.

"Yeah. I guess you guys are in."
