Within the lair, sat a young girl. The Metal Heads slunk around her as if they needed to move her. For the girl hardly moved, talked or ate, just sat in one spot with silver jewelry that wrapped around her wrists and hips. The girl's sightless eyes wandered the cave walls that surrounded her.
Noise traveled to her ears in the form of a heavy vehicle. With a flick of her wrist, the girl sent most of the Metal Heads away. They were going to attack whoever entered their lair. The leader sighed, bored and annoyed. Then she realized the noise. The Gila Stomper, which meant Jak and Daxter.
She careful felt her cheek, where a scar was visible from the corner of her eye to her lips in an arc. Her eyes flared with mixed emotions. She had no idea what to think. Should she feel hatred or glad that they were here. From her uncontrolled emotions, a blue hue emitted from her jewelry 'Just wait and see what they do.' She thought to herself, before she started to quietly sing to herself.
Within the cave, the Gila Stomper created a loud roaring as Sig maneuvered around the cave. Daxter was using the Peacemaker to kill off any Metal Head orbs he saw in the darkness. Jak smiled at his friend, knowing the little ottsel was having the time of his life.
Sig wasn't impressed and worried about his safety as Daxter fired another shot, nearly hitting the ground in front of them, "Watch it, fur ball." Sig warned, "I do want to get inside here before I'm killed."
"Sorry Sig." Daxter apologized and started shooting again. They were halfway into the cave when they heard a weird noise coming from inside the cave itself. Slowing down to a stop, all three strained their ears to listen. It was like a siren calling, just a voice.
Before they could do anything about it, hundreds of Metal Heads swarmed out of the ground and a few entrances towards the fighters. They were shocked and wondered where all the Metal Heads were coming from.
"There Jak!" Daxter cried, "They're coming from that room." Daxter pointed to an opening where a light was pouring out of, "If we get there, we can stop more from coming."
"Good idea, Dax. Only one problem, how do you plan we get there?" Sig asked, getting irritated. The three of them started to fight and drive their way to the opening. The Metal Heads slowly relented the closer they came to the light.
The leader of the Metal Heads song carried throughout the cavern even though she could hear the men coming closer. The inevitable was going to happen and that she was going to have to face them again. Slowly, she got up and stood to face them as she stopped singing. There, she heard one of them whisper her name.
The warriors fought until they reached the cavern opening where the Metal Heads were no more and the singing had stopped. There, they stood in silence as their eyes fell upon a figure. Whoever it was, was obvious the leader and creating the hue.
The leader was extremely pale and thin. Looking frail to boot, but strong-willed as they stood to face them. Daxter's little eyes grew huge as Sig's mouth dropped. Jak could only say one thing to the darkness that was slowly swallowing the blue hueish light.
"Caden…"
"No, it can't be." Daxter stated, "She disappeared weeks ago. Plus, this guy is the leader of the Metal Heads around here." Daxter really didn't want it to be Caden.
"Jak, Daxter, I bet you even… even have Sig with you." A raspy voice answered them, obviously extremely harsh from the lack of use, "What brings you here?"
"No, it can't be you." Sig said.
"What is wrong with me? Caden… is that my name?" The figure rambled and fell back into a sitting position. She kept rambling as the three of them made their way to her.
"It was you Jak." She said accusingly, "It was you that hated me and sent me away."
"No. I didn't mean to do anything, Caden. It was an accident." Jak pleaded.
"If that is so, why this?" She asked, showing the scar across her face, "I can't remember what I did."
"Nothing, you did nothing. We just defeated an enemy who happened to be your brother. We didn't know…" Jak tried to explain.
"So that is why I can't find him."
"Jak, Daxter. It's obvious that she is delirious and needs help. We need to get the kid out of here and back to Spargus." Sig said as Caden rambled on.
"No!" Caden yelled, "I will not go back. Get them!" She pointed to them and sent whatever Metal Heads were around to attack the warriors. The jewelry on the girl's body again grew in color, as did her anger.
"It must be the silver crap around her body. It's clouding her mind." Sig noticed, "That is what it must be… It can control the Metal Heads, but it also controls the wearer."
"Isn't that like all crap like that? You think you're in control, but you're not?" Daxter complained as the Metal Heads drew near. Jak wasn't sure what to do, but just started to fight the Metal Heads. Sig and Daxter followed suit, fighting off what they could.
Caden took this time to make an exit. She didn't want to deal with them now. Turning on her heel, she created another opening and ran through before Jak or his friends could
