Hi I'm C.A. and I think there is not enough Jak and Daxter Fanfiction, so I thought I add to it. In this story I assumed that there were more people experimented on that just Jak. This is what happened when they were discovered.
EDIT:- After reading some of my reviews I've rewritten this chapter. I've looked closer at Jak's thoughts as well as what he was saying, and I've fixed a few things that were bugging me. (Mostly the description of the Experiments.) If your reading this for the second time can you be really nice. *Puppy-dog eyes* And review again to tell be if it's any better? Please?
Also since I forgot it last time, Beware of mild swearing and spoilers for the games.
And I don't own Jak or Daxter or any other of Naughty Dog's characters.

Jak and Daxter and the Eco Experiments
Chapter one:- Discovery
Jak scowled as he entered the Palace. If he had his way he wouldn't anywhere near this place.
"Make's a change to be entering the place without intending to do some damage huh?" Daxter said.
Jak shot look at Daxter as the entered the throne room.
"Jaaaak." Daxter whined. "Lighten up, Praxis and the Metal Head Leader are dead, Keria and Tess are all over us. We're making a mint out of the bar and the city loves us for being the all conquering hero's we are. What the heck are you still angry at?"
Jak didn't answer, partly because he didn't have an answer, what Daxter had said was true everything that he had been bad about was gone but he still felt anger burning in him.
The door into the throne room opened as Jak approached.
The room had changed since Praxis's rule.
The stairs up to the pompously high throne had gone. In it's place were three chairs and desks. The first was empty Ashlin was sat at the second Torn was sitting at the third.
"Jak." Ashlin stood up. "I need to know, in the prison where my father..."
"Yes." Jak cut her off crossing his arms.
If he had known that Ashlin wanted to ask about the hell her father had put him though he wouldn't have come. He probably would have told Ashlin to take a flying leap off one of the Palaces Support towers.
"Were there others experiments?" Ashlin asked.
"Not I know of."
"Are you sure?" Torn asked.
" I don't really remember much of what happened in the prison." Jak admitted glaring at both Torn and Ashlin. "Everything's pretty much blurred together, pain, Dark Eco, Erol's snide comments, Your father's gloating, I'm sure you understand."
Ashlin looked away in shame, Torn glared at Jak and he realised that he had crossed a line. Taking his anger at Praxis out on his daughter.
Jak sighed. "Why are you asking?"
Ashlin walked back to her desk and turned the monitor so Jak and Daxter could see it.
"Watch this."
A recording started to play.
At first it was it was just a view of the city, suddenly there was a small explosion like a zoomer crash. The camera zoomed in and three people could be seen.
There was a young girl, probably around fifteen, with green hair curly hair down to her elbows and wearing a green dress to match.
A taller boy with white spiky hair, it was much the same style Jak used to have his hair in before he was thrown into the Fortress Prison, the boy wore and pale blue tunic with black pants.
The third was another girl though she looked far less innocent than the first, she appeared to be around twenty like the boy. She wore tight red top and trousers, she also had dark sunglasses on, her blood red hair was tied savagely back into a tail that reached to her shoulders.
"Look another Ottsel! Two of them!" Daxter shouted, for once not noticing the 'foxy-lady' as he would have put it.
Jak looked closer and indeed there was an Ottsel on each of the green girls shoulder. The one on her right shoulder was red where Daxter was orange, and orange where Daxter was yellow the other was mostly brown with a Yellow stomach and stripes on it's arms. There were also black markings on it's face.
"Its the one dressed in red that's causing the trouble." Torn said.
The green girl was trying to make herself small against the wall the white and blue one was trying to get the trashed zoomer to work again.
The other girl however had pulled out what looked like it may have once been a Krimson Guards Blaster. Speaking of which Krimson Guards were approaching, she shot them, more came.
"Now comes the interesting bit." Torn said.
The girl put the gun away and charged at the guards. One punch sent three flying off camera.
Jak's eyebrows rose. "Some punch."
The red ottsel shouted at the girl and jumped onto a new Zoomer the others had gotten hold of. Jak was impressed again, they had stolen a Hellcat cruiser. She jumped on with the others and they sped off.
"We lost them after that, but we found more guard body's and the hellcat at the gate to Dead Town." Torn told them.
Ashlin rewound the tape and played it in slow motion.
"This time watch the blue guy."
The man in question was moving so fast that if Ashlin hadn't put the film on slow mo he would have missed it. He ran towards the curser that had shown up to attack them, he kicked the driver out and fan back to the trashed zoomer three times each time carrying what looked like shopping into the Hellcat. The last load he carried was actually the green girl and the ottsels.
Jak looked at the five of them in the Hellcat..
"So you thought they might be more...experiments." Jak asked.
Ashlin nodded.
Jak looked at them again, he didn't really want to know anymore, all it did was remind him of what little he could remember of his time in prison. Jak glared at the screen, but he probably would be in worse trouble than these guys if it wasn't for Daxter helping him. I couldn't really hurt to try and help them would it? And deep down Jak felt a need to see them for real.
"I don't remember anything about them...but I'll go and see if I can find them."
"Good. I want to talk to them." Ashlin said.
Jak didn't say anything he wasn't doing this for her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than an hour later Jak and Daxter were in Dead Town looking for any signs of where the others had gone. The group had to leave the Hellcat inside the city as it wouldn't fit thought the door. Jak walked to the edge of the land stopping just short of the toxic water.
"Looks like they had a boat tied up by here." Daxter said pointing to where the rubble had been moved to make a kind of pier.
"So they probably live outside Dead Town." Jak said pulling out the Hover Board. "What to see if we get lucky?"
Daxter looked at the toxic water then to Jak.
"Just don't wipe out huh? You know how hard it is to keep this fur clean."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Little girl in Green sat on a rock watching the red woman and blue man argue. The boat was tied up nearby, they had been arguing for the whole trip and that wasn't changing now. The brown Ottsel didn't bother sitting down and resting with the others he walked on alone.
"Ruth you hot headed...Trigger happy...heavy handed...moronic..."
"Hey if you hadn't crashed our ride in the first place Kick!" Ruth shouted back.
She was carrying six bags of food and other must haves. Kick was holding two bags and even the girl had one next to her while she and the Ottsel waited for Ruth and Kick to finish.
"We could have bluffed it off as the accent it was if you hadn't pulled out your gun!"
"ENOUGH!" Shouted the red Ottsel. "The others are waiting for us."
"Fine." Ruth growled and stormed off ahead. "What ever you say Strife."
"Don't you think for a second that I'm going to let you beat me back!" Kick ran off not much more than a blue and white blur.
"Come on Hope, we had better make sure that they don't kill each other."
The green haired, green dressed and green eyed girl nodded she picked up Strife and put him on her shoulder before she jogged after Ruth.
No one noticed a blond man with a blue tunic and a orange ottsel on his shoulder following them.
He followed them for another ten minuets until the ottsel, Strife, suddenly jumped off Hope's shoulder.
Hope stopped and looked back.
"Go on ahead Hope..." Then he said something to quiet for Jak to catch.
The girl nodded and walked off.
"Okay, who are you and what do you want?"
Jak and Daxter looked at each other, then they stepped out from behind the rubble.
"What were you doing following us?" Strife asked.
"What were you doing causing a ruckus in the city?" Daxter asked.
Strife looked at them both he climbed a near by wall of rubble so he could look them in the eye.
"That was not intentional. Our driver got excitable..."
"And then your girly pal got trigger happy." Daxter cut in.
"That is one way to put it." Strife agreed.
"Are you Eco Experiments. " Jak asked.
Strife glared at the pair.
"We are not going to go back." Strife said. "And I will not let you get anywhere near the others."
"Why?"
"What do you mean why? How much of a mess did we make back at the city? How many Guards want us dead?"
"The Governess of the City wants to talk to you."
The Ottsel blinked. "The who?"
"You mean you don't know? Whoa are you out of the loop!" Daxter said from Jak's shoulder.
"Barron Praxis is dead." Jak explained.
"So that's why everyone in city was so happy." Strife rubbed the bottom of his chin with his hand. "But Ruth killed guards, weather or not Praxis's replacement is a fair leader she would till have to lock Ruth up...I can't let that happen."
"He...uh does have a point there Jak." Daxter said.
"I have an suggestion, I'll go back and talk this though with...our leader...if your City Governess wants to just talk, we'll meet her...in Dead Town, just out side the city wall at noon. If she wishes she can bring one troop of guards for protection, but if we see anymore than Ten men come out of the city you will not see us. Is that clear?"
Jak nodded. "I'll tell her."
"Very well. Until tomorrow noon then."
