Authours note:Okay now! hi! This is an authors note. I just wanted to make sure that there was a disclaimer for copyright reasons. This is purely a fan based fiction (hense the site name huh? lolz!) But just so we are sure, I don't own Jak and daxter, Jak 2, or Jak3 or Jak X. All rights and credit for the game go toward naughty dog and anyone else or any other company that claims the copyright for the series, characters, etc. I take no credit! Ok. Now that that is over with, Enjoy! Feedback is very much appreciated. An lastly I have a question. Should I put this disclaimer on all of the chapters? Or just this beginning chapter? Advice would be great!

Okay last part, this is my first fan fiction and I know everyone has a wii or something now but this is a great game and I hope at least someone is reading this! ^w^

Hopefully im not wasting my time by writing this FanFic! Okay! NOW go!

Day 1: Conscription

"No! Lana don't go!" Lana's younger brother, Alaric, of six years bawled, running across the dirty kitchen floor of her home and clung to her older sister (age 17) who was about to leave. "It's not fair! Why do you have to leave!" Lana sighed and dropped her things gently to the floor, her blood red armor clanging slightly as she knelt down to hug her brother. " I told you Alaric, I got drafted."

"Hurry up." A shorter man in yellow who was clearly the leader of the group of guards behind him barked. "We don't have time to wait for your long goodbyes." He scolded Lana, smirking at the fact that she had to listen; seeing as how he was now her commanding officer.

"Sissy has to go work for the Krimson Guard now…" She looked at her parents cowering on the other side of the room from the guns pointed at them with a forlorn expression; and back down at her brother. "So behave while I'm gone, okay?"

She smiled, falsely at him and stroked a lock of dirty hair out of his face with one hand, her helmet in the other. Her brother began to sob. "O-Okay." He managed to choke out.

Lana stood and slipped the helmet over her head firmly. The look in her family's face was no longer the pain from losing their daughter, but almost a fear of the new Krimson Guard recruit that had suddenly appeared before them. Lana emerged from her home into the dank slum air outside. She didn't say goodbye, and she never collected her things that she left at the door…

Days later Lana would be forced to lead a raid on her own home. Everything was either taken, or destroyed; her home set on fire and reduced to ash.

Her parents managed to escape the fire only because they were arrested for harboring fugitives from the rebel group known as the Underground.

When the impoverished citizens of Haven City's slums began picking through the ash and rubble for anything salvageable, the body of a small child was found.

It was burned beyond recognition.
